Removing dependency on SaaS has so far been my favorite use of AI. I hope we kill it off entirely. Software is better off as a tool. Making it a product typically ruins it.

I don't know where all of your shoulds are coming from. I too am having a lot of fun building with AI, but I can see how it might not appeal to everyone. And I think the people it doesn't appeal to, I think we need perspectives li

Yeah it feels pretty dumb to have to register all of my keys with each service, but as far as I can tell it's the least dumb thing.

Yeah, that's why secure enclaves embedded in complex devices are a bad idea. Hardware keys are the way: - Less likely to fail in the first place - Cheap enough to have several of so you can use one to log in and manage the others in th

Don't backup keys, rotate them.

When you're drafting policy, you get to be choosy about who you want in your country. I think that's more or less standard practice. We should want people who want to stay here long term, because then they have a stake, an incent

This is why H1B needs to be a relatively fast path to citizenship. Without that, the bosses will continue to behave badly.

Which is why leaving is not enough. If we want to be safe we need to actively interfere.

I had four big plastic totes full of cables. I pared them down to just one recently. I'm 90% happy with the move. It's ok to let go sometimes.

This presupposes that the practice of exchanging things for dollars will remain stable and merely the number of those dollars will go up. But that model is showing its age. I'd be supprised if, equipped with a heightened ability to dev

> Arrange these flowers What kind of person cares enough to buy flowers for an arrangement, but is uninterested in arranging them? What's next, will we buy music for our AI's to listen to? Food for them to eat? There's a

Ecosystems have niches for aggressive behavior against participants that reduce diversity. It's why you find higher concentrations of Lyme disease in new housing developments than you do in the deep woods: it's the activation of

Try saying anything positive about AI at the grocery store and you'll have the same experience.

Agreed. Let's get to it.

"Move," like these platforms are places... I think that were going to have to kick that mental habit before we have social protocols that are not susceptible to walledgardenification. Technology aside, the notion of a way of commu

H1-Bs are systematically problematic in ways that resemble how racism is problematic. They create a class of people who has to do what the boss says else they have to leave the country. It causes bad behavior on the part of the bosses. H1

It's only a problem if you have more dollars than sense.

I'm sure anthropic didn't want to fund the extra "safety" guardrails they put into fable, but they were forced to, else they couldn't release it. Sure there are all kinds of problems with that situation. But it sti

I'd like to provide extra context to help with training. Like, here's my codebase and the logs and the docs, feel free to ask me questions about it... Whatever makes the next version more applicable to the problems I'm tryin

The thing that distinguishes pelicans from other birds does so most strongly in profile. If you're looking straight at one, the throat pouch would be hidden by the beak. I bet if it instead had something to do with black widow spiders

I'm under the impression that paying for tickets is not exactly frowned on but isn't the respectable path either. The alternative being to do something awesome at a regional burn and get recruited by an established camp, which co

I agree that assumptions on the application side are the bigger issue, but it's less about encouraging client/server architecture in general. It's often very helpful, even among peers, to drop into a mode where somebody is we

Yes. I don't think human meaningful identifiers are important. We can make do with local pet names, like how Unison works. We hardly even use the globally consistent names we have. Between humans its always "hey did you check out

What I'm after is a way to get away from polling by server name. With a sufficiently interested audience I ought to be able to be offline except when I need to update the merkle root, meanwhile users can just serve the content to each

I think focusing on filecoin was probably the mistake. You've got to build something that people trust first and then consider adding a money-shaped app. If you start with something money-shaped you're indistinguishable from the

Agreed on both points. But it's looking increasingly likely that particular dream is not coming true. Kubo, the reference implementation IPFS node, is maintainerless as of last week. I'm not sure where IPFS went wrong, but I thin
