That's not a "but". Because he developed wealth and access, this is possible for one person when before it wasn't possible for anyone. This is how societies developed everything from refined sugar to rockets, as they passed various thresholds where individuals could afford to try things out.
And all of a sudden, I was bestowed with the greed to acquire more money than I can spend in a single lifetime. If I get cancer, I'd rather be rich and be able to do stuff like that, rather than die quietly.
According to some online sources his total wealth is under $3B. Hardly ‘unfathomable wealth’ IMO. Sure, billionaire territory but nowhere near the ultra-wealthy.
It’s entry-level billionaires club. The top 10 each hold $100B–$300B+, so the wealth distribution is extraordinarily skewed even within billionaires themselves. Musk is hundreds of times richer. Hardly obscenely rich.
Quick, without doing any kind of Googling or calculation: if I asked you to count 3B grains of rice by hand, how long would that take you? How big would that pile of rice be? How long would it take you to eat it?
A billion is already unfathomably large. If you think it isn't, you just haven't tried imagining what a billion of anything would be like.
The problem with this exercise is that I have a few million in wealth and I cannot actually visualize a few million grains of rice but I am fully aware of my total capacity to allocate capital to problems.
Neither $3b nor $300b are realistically unfathomable to me. I find them easy to consider in terms of the projects I can build if I achieved each of these amounts.
As an example I’d have to allocate somewhere between $50m to $250m to get people to vote on a California proposition. I’d need to spend $1.5b to create a wing of a major hospital. I’d need between $100m and half a billion to create a new K-12 school in my city.
These are large sums of money and are currently out of my reach so if AI doesn’t destabilize everything my best bet is to take the same approach each of my ancestors did. Move my children one level up the wealth ladder and hopefully give them the values that help them prioritize these actions and the optimal way of getting there. I think that involves some amount of compounding and then some amount of spending.
The point is that you’re deluding yourself if you think that there is any difference in terms of relative “unfathomability” between 3 billion and 300 billion.
3 billion generates more in interest per day than 99.99% of people make in a year. That’s unfathomable volumes of wealth for even the very rich.
This comment left me speechless... There are just a bit over 3000 billionaires in the world, 900 in the USA. If $3B isn't "unfathomable wealth" I don't know what is.
It’s more like I hope more bad things happen to rich and powerful people so they start doing something against it.
As long as it happens to ordinary people most of then hardly care.
Reminds me of the GOP who was against stem cell treatments until Reagan got Alzheimer‘s
Not only Sid didn't come from any of those backgrounds, neither did the founder of Freshworks who literally started his company based on reading a hacker news comment. [0]
> But you don’t hit 100% if you try. That’s where the luck part comes into play.
Nope. Sid just knows how to make money and that's him being more than 'lucky' with his experience and marketing GitLab right here which you could have done that as well.
Looks like this could be really cool, but it's a buggy mess. Can't switch top tabs, can't close tabs. Once I lose focus in a tab, I can't ever type again in that terminal tab. Can't switch between the different sidebar tabs, either.
Very cool! When on docs column, and pressing e to edit, it seems to just take you to edit the entire project, with no way to edit docs (which I am not sure what that even is supposed to be, I assume a way to attach files?).
This UX was a bit iffy for me, but I thought I'd experiment with it and decided to go with it.
When you edit an ID column, it opens a form editor to edit the entire row at once.
The thinking was to make all columns editable _in some way_, but ID columns are autogenerated and thus not designed to be directly manipulated.
I thought: since the ID represents a unique entity, in this case document, then it made some sense to make editing that editing the whole row.
That said, this is a bug even with the explanation I just gave: editing on the ID column of Docs doesn't show all the row's data in the form. Will fix that shortly.
Thanks for making this! It's a great application, and in stark contrast with the 'competitors', everything is so polished and it's not full of half baked features. That's a huge plus in my book. More features =/= better if the core isn't solid. I love how right moltis gets this.
I've really been enjoying it. Heavily added onto my fork already. Not at all because it wasn't good already, exactly because it is so it's worth building on top of!
I tried fixing bugs in some alternatives but there were just so many and it felt like a losing battle.
I'll definitely be submitting some (more) PRs in the future. I've pushed one upstream so far for review, but I have a lot more ready to submit later on.
Again, thank you so much for making this! Stellar work!
Right, but unless the parking spots are extra spacious, or your car is extra small, you won't be able to park your cart next to your trunk, and you have to ferry the contents of the cart from the front of your car to the trunk.
"Claude Code, but usable" might not be the best tagline. I find Claude Code extremely usable. In fact, it's the simplest product that "just works" I've ever used.
The tagline might feel off if you're already comfortable with CLI. Though there's definitely an audience for this — my co-founder posted about struggling with CLI and it got 240k views with 400+ replies of people feeling the same: https://x.com/serafimcloud/status/2002304990053085542
Even as a technical person, I remember my transition from Cursor to Claude Code CLI being rough. Maybe 1Code could be a way to get the best of both worlds, power of claude code and UX of Cursor
noted, title comes from my cofounder who's not technical, but he loved Cursor, I was convincing Serafim to try Claude Code, but he just couldn't use it. Cause it was a CLI, then I created a first alpha version of this UI for them .... and he loved it! he's now a fan of Claude Code, and that's where reasoning for "useful" coming from
Anna's archive offers to share their data for AI training (in exchange for donations), so that's certainly something the record labels want control of. https://annas-archive.org/llm
