I’ve seen the opposite. The best devs are aggressively embracing agents - producing more, and at higher quality.

Huge amount of skepticism on HN right now, but the models are increasingly capable, and there are real, significant risks.

The approach proposed by Amodei looks sensible - voluntary checks at frontier labs, and appropriate regulation to follow. Yes, the devil's in the details, but it feels like the right approach overall.

I think it’s fairly well established that Trump treats trade as a zero sum, single play, game.

China is the long term winner here.

I suspect there will be a leadership challenge to the prime minister before this, and the legislation will be dropped.

I love panoramic sunroofs.

Natural light makes the driving (and passenger) experience much more pleasant for me.

I’m not sure it’s accurate to say Canada ditched the relationship, given that the US imposed massive tariffs and threatened to invade Canada.

I did this for a few years and would recommend 1 (smallish) suitcase + 1 backpack.

As mentioned in the article, it’s better (financially and socially) to stay in locations for a medium length of time. If you do this, then the overhead of a single suitcase is very minimal, and you get far more flexibility with clothing - particularly if you’re staying in colder areas. E.g. NYC in winter.

Space X, Deel, Remote to name a few.

The value will be in the utility of the stablecoins. These will be high trust, 1-1 backed, and fully audited. i.e. Much more than just a db with multiple hosts.

If you want to be censorship resistant, stick to decentralized blockchains (ethereum + bitcoin). There's still value in Tempo vs traditional payment rails - (much) lower fees, faster + 24/7 transactions.

> I don't see anyone in the real world using blockchains at all.

Many companies are using stablecoins for cross border transactions, and for payouts in countries with volatile currencies. There's clear value for these use-cases.

Not to mention lower fees and 24/7 availability.

This wasn't a result of regulator scrutiny. The issue was that MS (owner of Copilot) was demanding access to the IP (due to their existing agreement with OpenAI), and OpenAI was resisting. In addition, Claude blocked access to Windsurf, which also damaged them as an acquisition target.

Nothing to do with regulators.

I think this is to do with the ‘assisted’ component. I.e. When people need help from others to die.

If the law didn’t cover this, then people who provided assistance would be open to criminal prosecution.
