Maybe. But I can think of some very wealthy people who do not have these luxuries.

Yup, time and freedom. The true luxuries. And a subset of freedom: The freedom to work on projects that excite you with people you like.

Pay attention to what you consume. Find sources you trust, creators you enjoy, and communities that are real. Participate. Not sure what else to say. Yeah, if you consume the "internet" like some firehose of information you spray

Won't there instantly be tools to detect and remove/obfuscate these kinds of watermarks?

I have an AI agent that poops for me and just reports the results.

“Tech” is one of the most rapidly-changing disciplines historically. It was very different in 2016. In 2006. In 1996. In 1986. It will be very different in 2036. If this is your career, part of your job is being aware of those changes and b

LLMs don’t have taste. Almost definitionally they can’t. They can parrot what they think other people think is tasteful, but they cannot have taste.

Yeah, I have told people that I’m fully capable of typing things into ChatGPT or Claude myself. What I need from people are their own warty ideas. Sometimes real ideas are blurry or incomplete. Or have open questions. Making your own presen

It just makes me wonder what else in your content is AI-generated. Just sows a little seed of distrust. The goal of someone putting actual ideas out into the world should be to establish trust, not create questions about whether the ideas a

Ozone hole over Antarctica. It is possible for us to work together and fix these things. Edit: Moving away from leaded gas might be another example. (CFCs and leaded gas invented by the same dude, fun fact: https://en.wikipedia.o

Maybe. I think people could survive it, sure. But I also wonder if there's a part of our lizard brain that just for safety's sake prefers to be able to see out of any small enclosed space we might find ourselves in. And that lizar

Feels like no windows is almost a deal-breaker? No? Do humans handle small enclosed spaces with no way to look outside well? The mock-up image looks like a small two-or-three seat compartment, which seems like it would be awful. Maybe an op

This is reductionistic gibberish. If you want to understand how USAID had actually benefited the region, go read some of the actual reports and analyses on the matter. But just to engage with your numbers (which I don't agree are fully

Because we're rich and powerful and we believe the world should be a better place. It doesn't matter what other countries do. We should want to step up and help. Leaders lead.

I find that younger software engineers sometimes take the attitude of: Why would I pay for that when I could easily just do it on my own? As they grow and gain more responsibilities that flips to: Why would I build and maintain something on

Trump's tax cut on the wealthiest 1%? $1,000,000,000,000 over ten years. Daily cost of the Iran debacle: $2,000,000,000. We sure as shit have money to fund research. We prefer to fund second yachts, third vacation homes, and bombs.

Yeah, it's not just my job to generate the code: It's my job to know the code. I can't let code out into the wild that I'm not 100% willing to vouch for.

Unions empower the middle class. That's why the ownership class fights so hard against them.

Cybertruck is a gimmick. And the fad has passed. No wonder they're not selling well. And they don't age well. Most of the ones around here are starting to look... grimy. Or dingy. After just a couple of years. It's a poor adv

Alternate take: The cost of building software will remain the same but software will need to be 10x as feature-rich to remain competitive. If you can build it in a weekend so can I. So you're going to have to figure out bigger things t

They're wonderful but, yes, the cost is out of control. Higher education delivers a fantastic ROI for the country as a whole. The people who benefit most from a strong economy are the wealthy. So tax them more. And put that money towar

Young people get sick and have accidents, too. If life was perfectly predictable then, yes, insurance wouldn't have much of a point. But alas. We all pay in a bit and those of us unlucky enough to need a huge amount of help can have ac

My thing is: If you have something to say, just say it! Don't worry that it's not long enough or short enough or doesn't fit into some mold you think it needs to fit into. Just say it. As you write, you'll probably start
