not sure what's socialist about it. farming is a weird sector though (and a small one; crucial, of course)

>the least efficient healthcare system in the world

and the most advanced healthcare

>ineffectual public education

actually it's better than most rich countries after controlling for race/ethnicity

that said, healthcare, education, and most of all housing are massively far from free markets, they're the most regulated parts and it's hard to innovate. the more free you make those markets, the better they'll get.

>massive wealth disparity

because, and this is no exaggeration, we are way fucking wealthier than almost anything except oil-rich Norway and tiny Luxembourg. it's a lot easier to have disparity when some grasses grow tall.

>crumbling national infrastructure

depends; California and New York yes, Texas no

>and a different school shooting every week

not that often but this is an american pathology yeah

local models will be powerful enough, can't say the same about local search engines 20y ago

the composition of HN has changed to be a lot more leftist and less capitalist, and I don't think that'll change anytime soon

>How do you know?

Well, if a European dev asked me how I could possibly know if they'd make more in a less regulated environment, I would point to American salaries.

Agree it's hard to know things and that antitrust arrangement was bad. If we're talking policy, we are implicitly accepting counterfactual reasoning (because otherwise why would we change policy).

letting AI do what it's good at, while constraining the overall system to follow the right practices, is like the ideal combo

are you a software engineer?

fwiw the article doesn't sound LLM to me whatsoever, so opinions def vary!

>I don't what you are talking about but it's nonsense and offensive

This just reads as "I don't know whether you're on Other Team.. but, I'll assume you are, here goes:"

The very first thing I did vibe-coding was commit my prompts and AI responses. In Cursor that's extremely easy—just 'export' a chat. I stopped for security concerns but perhaps something like that is the way.

>Where is the resulting software?

Everywhere.

Remember Satya Nadella estimating 30% of code at Microsoft was written by AI? That was March. At this point it's ubiquitous—and invisible.

It's hard to see how suffering gets into the bits.

The tricky thing is that it's actually also hard to say how the suffering gets into the meat, too (the human animal), which is why we can't just write it off.
