> The Economist estimates that AI has so far created around 1m new jobs in America. That easily exceeds the roughly 200,000 lay-offs attributed to AI since mid-2023, and appears more than enough to offset weaker hiring in many back-office roles. America’s AI infrastructure splurge has created many of them. (...) That building spree requires armies of workers: electricians to wire them, HVAC specialists to stop racks from overheating, grid engineers to hook them up to the power supply and technicians to install and maintain the machines.

I'm not sure whether the salaries of the new jobs are on par with those of the lost jobs.

What happened to the project and to the company?

On its launch, GigaOM had great influence in Brazil's Porto Digital startup scene back in the days.

What a lovely Christmas story!

I never understood why those tools need to fork Visual Studio Code. Wouldn't an extension suffice?

I also like what he writes and the way he does it.

Why don't refactor just the parts the need it instead of rewriting everything?

In the code example, I guess the variable `k_sz` is undefined in the call `hm_get(map, k, k_sz)`. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your testimonial on Humira.

> Still searching for an Rdio substitute though...

After the news about Rdio, I have started to search for a replacement. So far I have tried Spotify, Deezer and Google Play Music.

With respect to the web player, I felt that Google's service is closer to Rdio in listening experience than others. It has a clean interface, search works well, and curated-radio is very good. On the other hand, Spotify desktop app on Linux is OK and would be a good replacement to Rdio web player, but I have not tried any mobile app yet.
