Imagine if all the energy spent whining on the purity of a system being insufficiently private or decentralized or somehow loyal to a fight against the man, was spent instead on actually improving those systems. They're open source.

IIRC IPFS was the latest in a long line of Distributed Content-Addressed systems that long predate crypto. AFAICT (obviously I wasn't paying much attention) they went crypto (FileCoin) to fund a base population of storage users to boo

This is essentially guaranteed. There are lots of useful smaller models that we should be able to run locally. Over time they'll be more and more capable and require less API usage.

You're getting downvoted because your argument is cosmetic, egotistical, and useless. Can you give an objective separation between design flaws and engineering details? One that has zero ambiguity: if I give 100 engineers your criter

I've tried it, and no. Honestly C++ gets so many complaints partially because so many people use it. It deserves a lot of it. I just finished my work on a 2.5 yr rust project that was very low-level. The problems I had with it were th

Unless you spend 5min googling and see that you can do zero retention via AWS Bedrock.

In a competitive environment, it's precisely that. An improvement in product A takes customers from B and C.

Apple and Steam have been successfully applying pressure for years. Who's willfully staying behind at this point?

All the development action went to the web. Dolphin's still pretty awesome.

This was a teenager. Then again, there's a whole line of bluetooth speakers called "SoundBomb." And lots and lots more products named "Boom" (still, yes) in some way. There isn't any need for this to be anyt

Should've called the new one Freenet 2 or Freenet NT.

I use AI regularly to consider new looks. Just have it render someone like me in different outfits. Super useful.

I think this has all suddenly shifted with high-quality programming AIs available. How difficult is this to implement with Claude?

Windows isn't a useful base of comparison anymore. They really stopped trying years ago.

It's been working great for me. I haven't seen any changes.

Didn't MS also do OS/2 early on? Didn't they bill IBM by line of code? I can't say much about Solaris, I used it - much later - on sparc and amd64. I can say that I was writing 16 bit windows apps in '95, including

I don't know why you'd believe they've ever been capable of putting out quality software. A bug in the software is a bug in the process, and the process is the job of leadership. They've never cared about software quali

I had to restore my son's desktop PC last night from a USB stick. It didn't even have drivers for graphics over 800x600 or the wifi card. I was flabbergasted. It's windows 11, 2026, a 6-month old PC. I genuinely don'

Yeah, I mean I'm looking at frameworks/thinkpads on one side and chromebooks on the other. Not charging up to $440 (!) for a keyboard isn't a great act of engineering or generosity. This has been ridiculous for a very, very

I think we'll have to start configuring our client tools (e.g. browser, email client, etc) to render domain names with annotations for different character classes. E.g. our native character set is a standard color (blue/black) an

This entire page is a sales pitch, but it doesn't really cover how things are hidden or how much that costs. How does it compare to tor hidden services?

GM didn't sell EVs for years after releasing the EV1. They didn't get any market advantage from the EV1 because they left the market after, for a long time.

If a robot can do basic cleaning, laundry, and dishes, that's worth a lot to a lot of people. Dual-professional households have the money, and not having to do this housework could save some marriages.

The EV1 gave GM no advantage.

On the bright side, an LLM can really help set up a reproduction environment. Perhaps repro should become the basis of peer review?
