We need to stop paying doctors millions of dollars. That’s the only way it’s going to come down. Half a million, whatever they get paid is making it so people have to do without decent insurance. That’s the biggest variable I see in the US vs other countries (not to mention bogus drug pricing, but there are controls hopefully being implemented for that.

I blame Sam Altman with all his hype that’s he’s slowly trying to backtrack and change his image on (cozying up to Ives, calling AI a bubble, Interviews with his brother designed to make him look more personable). His dystopian visions of basic income and $20K AI agents are mostly to blame.
He was the poster boy for all this. I don’t know how many times I’ve quit ChatGPT and on the retention form I say it is because I don’t like or trust Sam Altman. (I do like to try the tech, but I want Anthropic or Google to win)
I think he took a real Ryan Holiday type marketing approach, and it was the most successful in history. The guy is a genius in many many ways obviously. But I def don’t like the way he makes me feel.

It's natural to feel this way. But the thing that you have to remember about interviews like this where you're doing multiple rounds is that a lot of times they'll have people come to a round table discussion. If one person says something negative, that can often change the course of whether or not you're going to get the job. It depends on how much influence that person typically has. A lot of times people might defer to that person,etc.

Imagine how many people this will happen to who won’t come forward because of embarrassment.

I’ve always wondered about the remaining users of the dial-up service. Who are they and what is the use case for using dial-up?
Does anyone know?
Senior citizens who don’t know any better and never upgraded.then in their 50s now in their 70-80s.

I really blame the Sam Altman hype machine for all of this dystopian nonsense. He really is like a Ryan holiday you can’t trust anything he says. He's the one who started all this "employees are going away" stuff with this $20,000 AI employee. that's not when he started it, he started it long before that with all his basic income bullshit.

Because of the amount of Python and JS in the wild is much more than the amount of Elixir code, so the LLMs have much more data to base their answers on.
Thanks

With your tool can I hook it up to Cursor and just have it use it?
I’ve only used it with Claude code
I did a post in Show HN where you can see the installation instructions. I would put them here, but ware on the iPad. It’s an MCP server so it should work. I would’ve thought cursor and other IDs would have some type of sytactic analysis built-in
