This…doesn’t mean anything, right? There isn’t a way to say “this was the ARR for Q2” because it’s a projection of the future. Or am I misunderstanding this?

Yes. Elon has a massive controlling share in SpaceX, complete control over the board. SpaceX will be double the size of Tesla after a successful IPO, then they can swallow it and then he has the control over Tesla he’s constantly fighting for.

I had this moment recently with implementing facebook oauth. I don’t need to spend mental cycles figuring that out, doing the back and forth with their API, pulling my hair out at their docs, etc. I just want it to work and build my app. AI just did that part for me and could move on.

What? Coding agents are very capable at helping fix bugs in specific domains. Your examples are like, the exact place where AI can add value.

You do an update, things randomly break: tell Claude to figure it out and it can go look up the breaking changes in the new versions, read your code and tell you what happened and fix it for you.

Repeating 2008, where nobody had a good sense of who actually owed what where. This is how Martin Casado can say this isn't like dot-com, because "there isn't as much debt". It's there, just shoved behind the couch.

For me, the current state of technology in society was impacted the most by Apple and their vision. Could definitely debate between Apple and Google, but I don't think another company is really in the conversation.

Hopefully the Supreme Court takes away Trump’s tariff toys soon and we can stop doing this.

I wish the article had a quote from a resident who voted against it, saying why they did so.

It’s better for them if you don’t know how long you’ve been talking to the LLM. Timestamps can remind you that it’s been 5 hours: without it you’ll think less about timing and just keep going.
