Yeah, this is exactly why I couldn’t stay on it. I already deal with GAD and OCD, and whatever benefits it had for the depression were directly counteracted by the return of acute anxiety. It was truly hellish. Feeling like I had this energ

.env is self sustaining at this point. The functionality described in the post exists to help move people off of it. It’ll have a better chance of dying when fewer people use it and that starts with making it easy to move away from it.

SQLite is still the default backend. Postgres is optional.

About halfway through my career, I spent about 10 years working in the enterprise SaaS/PaaS space. 6 as a developer, ~4 as a product manager. Both sides of that coin are difficult. Trying to create a product strategy that meets the nee

Not OP, I’m not really sure what your specific complaints are based on the original comment. They seemed more like general/nonspecific concerns, which left the comment pretty open to interpretation.

Can you share more about what made you move away? I’ve been running a NixOS based homelab for awhile now with 5 physical hosts and about 30 NixOS containers/VMs in an Incus cluster and I can’t imagine moving away from my central Nix re

If you gave up at 50, that means you skipped the difficult words.

I'm not really following your logic here. I'm not arguing against the idea that consciousness is a spectrum. If anything, I'm agreeing. I'm just pointing out that if AI is somewhere on that spectrum, there is almost cert

by haswell 3mo ago
Fair, but I still think we're discussing slightly different things. I'm not arguing that "maybe AI is conscious" is absurd.

I understand what you're getting at, but I think you may be misinterpreting me slightly. I'm not outright dismissing the possibility that AI could be conscious; I'm saying that if we take the possibility that it is seriously,

by haswell 3mo ago
But what kind of complexity is that? And why would we conclude that AI has it while other incredibly complex systems (e.g. earth’s habitats, the universe itself) does not? I’m far more open to the idea that many systems are conscious than t

by haswell 3mo ago
Could be! I think the broader thought experiment is about examining why we think LLMs specifically might be conscious vs other complex systems, even if it is a spectrum. For example, there’s a case to be made that the ecosystem we collectiv

If there's any reason to take seriously the idea that AI is conscious, we must then take seriously the idea that many other non-living things are conscious. Unless the argument is that consciousness is an emergent property of complexit

This is anthropomorphizing a concept that is quite unrelated to the meaning of the word in the human context. When a car runs out of gas, it's out of gas. It's not "tired". When your phone battery is low, your phone is n

Have you set up Tailscale and have you set up OpenVPN from scratch? Because these two things are not alike. That’s why I’m pushing back a bit. I find it difficult to imagine equating a raspberry pi in a closet with “running a server”. Is it

by haswell 4mo ago
On the one hand, I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here. With that said, I don’t think it’s reasonable to describe setting up Tailscale as similar to “Linux server that runs 24/7 with OpenVPN and iptables”. Sure, you could go th

There are plenty of reasons to criticize OneDrive and I personally would not use it. But I think comparing it with a weekend vibe coded self hosted project is a bit of a stretch.

Calling out the fingerprinting of extensions is appropriate and can be achieved without hyperbole. As I’ve stated clearly throughout this thread, the fingerprinting they’re doing is a problem. Calling it “searching your computer” is also a

So are fonts. But running Window.queryLocalFonts() is not equivalent to “illegally searching your computer”. I’m not defending the act of scanning for these extensions, and I’m of the opinion that such an API shouldn’t even exist, but just
