Enshittification is real and PM's are the front line soldiers enabling it.

It may be that a dev implemented it, but it's the PM's job to make up excuses.

What's next? Calling us confused?


It's not a narrative, it's an experienced reality.

I know you think that's a clever comeback, but it's not; it's just a shift in what level of analysis one does.

It's an experienced reality indeed, but THEN you create a narrative based on that. Obviously.

Experienced reality is, by definition, subjective and affected by filters for what you can, and how, experience things.

For instance, you can actually and truly experience something as bad, and then create a narrative around that. And you can be right, or you can be wrong in the narrative. Some narcissists experience themselves as a victim and unfairly treated, but everybody around them thinks the victim narrative is wrong, because they can clearly see that they are primarily at fault for their own situation.

So you just shifted the question to: "Why do people have a bias towards experience something as worsening, regardless of objective measures of quality"?


I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Sometimes people are right about something and sometimes the are not?

That's all I got out of it.


For so much noise about cocks, there is a distinct lack thereof. What a scam!

Maybe the perception comes from all the Mac and Windows devs having to run a Linux VM to use containers.

You're not changing the world either way, you would just be working for a more demanding guy. Fuck em.

This is my favorite response in the thread. We aren't talking about getting a job at doctors across borders or something, we just want to manipulate bits of silicon to increase our networth.

When you say "we aren't" I hope you realize you aren't speaking for everyone. Even doctors across borders probably needs an IT person. There are jobs available for less pay that are fulfilling in other ways. I know I have taken them and am better off for it.

I'm pretty sure VC backed companies are by and large doing it to increase the networth of the founders, and hopefully investors.

I don't lie to myself, I know why I do this.


Aside, there is a tech equivalent of MSF: Télécoms Sans Frontières

Yea agree, I worked at a bank during covid and helped do some work that tangentially helped relief/social security payments go through. Warmed me heart it did

That just means I've asked it to build a disaster without knowing it.

Now instead of me slowly implementing the disaster, I can fix the design and go into the next iteration with a clearer picture in mind.


What do you mean it's on ollama and requires h100? As a proprietary google model, it runs on their own hardware, not nvidia.

sorry A lack of context:

https://ollama.com/library/gemini-3-pro-preview

You can run it on your own infra. Anthropic and openAI are running off nvidia, so are meta(well supposedly they had custom silicon, I'm not sure if its capable of running big models) and mistral.

however if google really are running their own inference hardware, then that means the cost is different (developing silicon is not cheap...) as you say.


You can't run Gemini 3 Pro Preview on your own infrastructure. Ollama sell access to cloud models these days. It's a little weird and confusing.

Ahh fuck, thanks for pointing that out.

I did think its a bit weird that they had open-weighted it


That's a cloud-linked model. It's about using ollama as an API client (for ease of compatibility with other uses, including local), not running that model on local infra. Google does release open models (called Gemma) but they're not nearly as capable.

Repeating the word "superconductor" does not convince anyone of anything.

I don’t care about convincing anyone. A question was asked and I answered the best I could with the time I had at hand.

Also read by comment above that discusses WHY superconductors could be the key to cooler electronics in space.


I don't quite believe this.

Is it really better than just using solar panels to run a heat pump?


> Our core innovation is a radiative cooling material that we’ve combined with a panel system to improve the efficiency of any vapor-compression based cooling system

A heat pump is a “ vapor-compression based cooling system” so that tech is an addition-to not an instead-of.

Whether it’s better probably depends on how expensive the additional efficiency is in practice.

> SkyCool’s Panels save 2x – 3x as much energy as a solar panel generates given the same area.

So if you’re area constrained maybe.


That's very hard to believe. Radiative cooling is really bad compared to any kind of fan in front of aluminum fins.

Air itself is an isolator, there is a reason you need to shove in fresh air to take on more energy from the heat source.


And here I thought Musk's fans are all about digging holes in the ground. The flamethrower fumes might have caused temporary amnesia.

To say so I am not a Musk fan - I am sci-fi fan and I make imaginary/silly stuff up on my own.

I also like reading how people argue with not what I wrote but with what they imagined I wrote.


It was not my intention to single you out, my apologies.

There is nothing wrong to imagine anything you like. But if you do it as a CEO, i personally consider that as fraud. Guess I'm weird and old-fashioned like that.
