Some of the most intrusive cookie banners I've seen are on EU institutional websites. If they can't find a way to provide access to information without pages of consent boxes what hope have the rest of us. The law came ten years t

Well said, too many people conflate AI and crypto, and dismiss both without understanding either. Crypto has demonstrated very limited benefit compared to its cost, exchanging value has been a solved problem for millenia. We're only be

This is the third formulation I've come across that sounds like this with space and time emerging from particle interactions. The other two are from Stephen Wolfram and Carlo Rovelli. Are the formulations related do you know? I've

Yes, PoW crypto is now a much more concrete example of the potential damage from poorly aligned utility functions, as well as the challenges in containing a system once it is released. I'm finding the current hype cycle very frustratin

I don't know how old your kids are, but if they're younger than 3 it gets easier. Never is extreme, you will surely have time for side projects at some point, but if you really care about it make it a goal to be part of your worki

A cell has no way to conceive of a worm, and worms probably can't conceive of humans. But they probably have some conception of birds, and birds can perceive humans. Where are our birds? As you go up the intelligence chain the ability

I switched to using this style in the last few years, but it only works well where the code is reasonably good quality otherwise, in particular with short methods and classes. If you're dealing with legacy code with massive procedural

I'd say Starbucks business model is coffee distribution, their product is coffee, unless I have to pay an entrance fee for Starbucks. It's a good example, and the article flawed as it might be does highlight the concerns of conten
