I don't disagree with your idea at all, just with the approach. I think if you exist within an environment where you can still thrive leeching off of an ineffective organization, and you're okay with this because you understand th

Something the author sorta neglects to mention is that this makes you feel like shit, if you have any sort of conscience at all. Corporations largely don't care about individuals, and so maybe you shouldn't care about loyalty to y

This is what I am seeing more and more of, both in tech online and in the minds of people around me. Despite peoples' innate curiosity of how LLMs work, they still don't understand at the end of the day that they are just models.

Not really, but I'm happy to share more here :) In all honesty, under the hood it's a bit of a mess. I may have eschewed some of the software engineering best practices in lieu of building something quickly that I wanted. I'l

Not sure if this is an established hobby or something I've just come up with myself, but I've been "dashboarding." Essentially I have a Blazor webapp that integrates lots of data sources (some manual, some automatic) fro

It's easy to live in shareable spaces when you're young and unattached - it becomes a lot more difficult as you age and want to grow a family. I'm not sure I want the kind of life where I have to share a kitchen or a bathroom

Except this goes against American individualism on every front. Americans really only fit one sort of mold in terms of what they want: single family home, owned outright (usually mortgaged though). You can extrapolate that out to cities as

Yeah, I really only mean 'democratized' in the sense that there's suddenly a populace of influence. Whether or not that influence is 'fair' in a democratic sense is clearly not the case, but there's a tipping p

I'm imagining something probably horrible and fascinating at the same time: You could almost imagine world events being "democratized" by these markets at this point - a significant event will happen (or not happen) by the gr

Anytime I create a new cloud resource, I always wonder how catastrophic things would actually have to get for toggling GRS to _not_ feel like total overkill. If you're an infrastructure dev doing any work in the mideast, I guess you&#x

"Interests." I'd love to know what the price per barrel the U.S. has paid in the last few years when you factor in additional costs incurred due to involvement in Iraq and Syria.

I would imagine U.S. foreign policy, particularly the prolific use of sanctions contributes to this wane as well. There was some discussion about this a while ago - effectively as the U.S. continues to rely on a strategy of imposing sanctio

You're still captive to a product. Which means that when CloudCo. increases their monthly GenAI price from $50/mo. to $500/mo., you're losing your service or you're paying. By participating in the build process you&

Well I'd probably consider myself a materialist but I'm not sure I'd agree. The evidence to me seems that it can really only come from two places: additional compute or new breakthroughs in AI learning. Compute's coming,

There's a subset of sleepaway camps for adults that are quite popular for musicians - they typically consist of sleeping in cabins at night and attending lessons and workshops throughout the day. I went to one a few years ago, and even

> Isn't the sector for software that is life-critical really small? I think it's large. Think about the software that goes into something like air travel - ATC, weather tracking, the actual control software for the aircraft...

Probably depends on BO/stakeholder as well. B2B solution that has a low risk of killing anyone? Maybe fuck it, let the model have its way. Technology that controls software that keeps people alive, controls infrastructure, etc., uhhhh

Do you believe there's a threshold to how good this stuff can get, or do you think it's all infinite upside?

Okay so, I gave this a shot last week while studying for one of my finals for grad school. I fed it the course study guide and had it prompt me. I got the sense that it wasn't doing anything remarkable under the hood, that it was mostl

The way I think about this is if you split the money-making opportunities into two pools; one is rent-seeking/grifting/outright-scamming/beating greater-fool fallacy, the other is learning some sort of skill/trade and de

I'll defend that variable selection a little bit, as I feel that the measure they use to capture 'despair' is actually binary in reality. I'd categorize a handful of young men around my age as being in this category. Wha

Yeah, seems like it's even worse in that it's a _death cult_. The people in it know that it's not worth what the market prices it at, so they know any sudden moves in the wrong direction and they're gonna lose all that v

Can someone who knows more about Tesla tell me what the chance is that we see Musk pushed out? I think given his recent scattered priorities, foray into American politics, reported drug use, etc., he's probably lost a lot of the doubt

From what I understand static web apps have a 'cold start' where if they haven't been touched in so long they get killed. I need to just add a function app that pings it periodically so it never goes down. Thank you! Apprecia

My personal website is written with Astro. I love it! Admittedly I'm still a little trigger-happy with my JS usage, but overall the ability to write templated pages and utilize islands that don't require big dependencies is the mo
