So Europe does it better. Maybe you just have the wrong metric in mind. And given the amount of problems exist with Office, Outlook etc. I‘m not even sure if Europe is worse on the quality site. People are just used to US software faults.

I recently tried to replace Dropbox with Filen. Filen supports full encryption, so like you say better on privacy.

Then I mounted it as a drive on my MacBook, and moved some backup files there. The move took a while, and after it, no backups on my MacBook, and no backups on Filen. Just nothing, no log of it, nothing.

Going to stay with Dropbox.

So in this case, Europe definitely does not do it better.

Edit: I also tried to replace Sendgrid. All European alternatives are crazy expensive, so not going to replace that either.

Instead of focussing on old tech, and keep running behind US and China, maybe we should jump on the next boat.

I hope they don’t need to search an email. Outlook may be familiar but it’s a familiar pain.

The best name they came up with is Superpowers?

Tesla's highest market cap in 2010 was $3.3B. Tesla has more net income, sometimes multiples more, per year, from 2021 to 2025.

For comparison, it is routine to see sale prices of 3x to 5x revenue for many, many kinds of everyday businesses that have much less potential than Tesla.

There are very, very few businesses whose shares one could have purchased in 2010 that performed better over the subsequent 15 years. That is about as objective as one can get about determining whether or not something was under or over valued (in 2010).

because not only the shareholders overpaid but the car buyers too.

Is musk derangement syndrome a thing?

Yes, and it makes much less sense to me. It boils down to he's rich on paper, and doesn't put on a fake PR mask.

Once you see it, it's preety funny how these people pick weird little hills to die on.

Society seems a lot more full of people trying to broadcast who they are from their opinions on stuff instead of what they've done.

Bingo!

Society seems to favor sociopaths who destroy everything for their own benefit.

Do you think DOGE has done something good or did it just help authoritarians to dismantle opposition?

Since Musk, Trump, Thiel & Co. started to implement their vision of a society the world turned to the worse. And they won‘t be the one who habe to endure the harsh consequences

Let’s ignore things like the pedoguy incident and his ridiculous defense it was South African slang.

Or how he helped dismantle USAID which leads to real death of people.

You’re being spoiled with not having a fake PR mask. He‘s just spared from real consequences because of his wealth. As soon as real consequences are at the horizon that changes pretty quickly. It just happens too rarely.

No.

Compared to Falcon 9 Starship has still more quality issues than the Falcon 9 at the same test stage

Ask yourself why they didn’t do that in the first place.

Survivorship bias

Technically, all journalism pieces on successful businesses are survivorship bias. No one writes and reads about the business that failed to find PMF.

And that’s the problem. You find the same traits they claim that made them successful by those who failed. Cherrypicking the winners creates a false reasoning of success.

Is it a problem? Bc I know there is survivorship bias and also still want to hear about the successes, so what is the problem then?

How many readers don’t know that? And how many fall for the false reasoning of those success stories?

You are assuming most readers are dumb. I do not have that assumption.

> Plus models are only going to get smarter from here (or stay the same).

Training models on AI generated content leads to model collapse so they hardly become smarter if more and more code is from AI

That is a possibility, but even then the models won't become more stupid (you can just keep using the current ones).

Claude Code 2.0 (and other agent tools) are not expected to be mature. They'll all be obsolete in two or three years, replaced by the next generation of AI tools. Everyone knows that.

Claude Code 3.0 (and other agent tools) are not expected to be mature. They'll all be obsolete in two or three years, replaced by the next generation of AI tools. Everyone knows that.

And so on and on and on.

A promise of AI was mature software

If there is a market for a mature harness, surely it will be built right?

I don't know what your point is. What you said is exactly what I expect to happen, except they might have a more creative name than "Claude Code 2.0".

My point is that the mature version will always be the next future version.

Can you elaborate the obvious nonsense?
