I lost a lot of respect for carmack when he joined meta.

The company is a black hole of wasted talent.

I see you are operating under the idea that the US still has consumer protections and isnt a gutted husk of what it once was.

why does zelle even exist?

every time i have to interact financially with americans its always focused around these random transfer apps like zelle, cash, venmo etc.

The US tends not to regulate what kind of services a bank has to offer to its customers. A bank doesn't need to offer any kind of transfer services to be a bank. As far as I know you can legally be a bank and only offer cash deposit and withdrawal.

The EU has PSD (Payment Services Directive) and PSD2 which stipulate what kind of transfers have to be possible to customers.

Because of that the US just has a bunch of startups which offer services that unify the payment landscape. The alternatives at a bunch of banks is still that you need to write checks.

Hi, have been working on that also ;) as a way to have multiple agents working on the same repo. Started with Docker and then switched, because Docker is to slow to spin up (seconds is to slow) and big.

just run it in a vm, claude shouldnt be using the same gitconfig as the host user anyways

I used AI to summarize this rant, it was still a waste of time to read.

Listening to googlers drone on about their byzantine corporate structure and acronyms is always so bizarre.

Reminds me of severance and the polite little drones reciting their eigan lore.

Google is a blight on our society.

Will be worse when they "scale up" to funnel a larger fraction of revenue to shareholders (directly or indirectly by accumulating a larger hoard) by paying less people to provide the same service.

just put it in the pile with the rest of the google app store malware.

lmao, HN is full of people who make a living building the things you want to revolt against.

this forum is an echo chamber for over paid boot lickers.
