Markets seem to be at least reasonably competitive with 3 vendors. 2 vendors in a space often leads to less desirable outcomes for consumers.

C++ is an advanced programming language with a couple decades of features. Assembly is very simple in terms of syntax, requiring an hour to understand the basics. Assembly is simple if you know the processor you are writing against. It can

I just end up using both for research type things. They both end up doing better on certain topics or types of work. For $20/mo why not both :) I like ChatGPT as a product more, but Gemini does well on many things that ChatGPT struggle

Suppose it depends. I think of it like this article suggests. It is very good at searching and scraping a lot of websites fast. And then summarizing that some.

Computing in general is /huge/ now. X is dying is funny in tech. By raw number of participants has it ever really changed? Take MUDs for example, I remember my MUD days. There are still hundreds of active MUDs. Is X really dying?

Don’t sleep on Gemini Deep Research feature either. I use it for my car work and it beats ChatGPT’s offering at that price point every time.

Not in general, no. It is still secure and used. There are of course attacks but those were not completely breaking

If you look at how the most advanced commercial models are deployed they already have much of this, including isolation. This post is essentially sketching much of what I know already exists. Not in the literal OS sense, but in terms of all

It’s hard. It mostly comes down to learning new things, playing in spaces you don’t often play. I am 45 now and work in big tech. Just keep learning, growing. Embrace AI, understand how it works, what it is good at. Be the one to try things

Stoicism. Dichotomy of control. Is this something you can control? If no, don’t dread. If yes, do something. Often, all you have firmly in your grasp are things inside of your brain. Catch the negative thought. Acknowledge it. Move on. Do n

Memorizing is a super power / skill. I work in a ridiculously complex environment and have to learn and know so much. Memorizing and spaced repetition are like little islands my brain can start building bridges between. I used to think

Ehh. You don’t get FB to where it is by being incompetent. Maybe he is not the right leader for today. Maybe. But you have to be right way, way more often than not to create a FB and get it to where it is. To operate from where it started t

Remember, this is basically your own personal Wiki. You can either embrace and accept a rigid organizational structure or not. You are signing up for a lot of up front maintenance and design this way. The alternative is to heavily use links

International first class / business class travel is a different category than domestic. I was just referring to domestic. It usually costs an order of magnitude more so there are still some decent perks associated with it.

They are very guilty of shrinkflation in general. For example, first class used to get you access to the airport lounges. Now you need a very expensive subscription of some sort to get access.

Aren’t laptops a little more ergonomic and flexible to hack on? I am curious what environments one ends up in where a phone is the tool of choice for writing code and such.

Most of this is solved by: todo list in one file. One list. Use markdown. Try Obsidian. Read Randy Pausch last lecture. Look at his todo list. Copy that. Use a calendar if it is time sensitive. Look at your todo list often. Want to be fancy

Not to pick nits but what is “reality”? How do suburbs disconnect one from it?

This will create what I am calling a “seniority crunch”. Entry level jobs are hard to get, humans aren’t learning the deeper aspects and reasoning parts of knowledge work. Gap created for people with this knowledge. Senior IC jobs demand go

You are right but it misses the flavor of the problem. I was a consultant in infosec to F500s for many years. Often solving a problem involves simply knowing the right person that has already thought about it or toiled on the problem or a s
