I noted this too - considering he's only been a developer for a decade, this is a weird comment to make - the last decade has been a breeze.

Even with some co-mingling of facts, is 5 months detention still proportionate? That’s the crux of it.

Being useful can often be a curse without strong boundaries - in work and relationships, I personally have ended up becoming overly extracted... Which later seems to lead on to resentment and in the worst case, contempt.

This piece always brings me to tears. I was lucky enough to meet Part, have a brief conversation and shake his hand after a performance in Hamburg… A moment I will never forget.

No. All great things come to an end - artistic movements, cultural, nations, etc etc - the end of the internet is now.

This is all part of the continuing trend toward luxury - brands are abandoning the middle class and below, focusing on higher margins and lower volume - brands make more money, engage with easier buyers and have to work less. I don’t know h

It’s a nice list, but honestly, none of these improvements are really life changing (except the reduction in crime that has been noticeable and good). Things otherwise got a bit nicer and a bit cheaper and a bit faster - but life would have

Sadly, true. Those who work on the industry will never rebel, the pay is too good and the nerdy excitement of being able to solve very interesting problems is too addictive. Our greatest minds are wasted in the finance sectors and big tech.

It was with a freighter, China to Panama bound - no one on watch - about a quarter of the way across to Hawaii. My boat was so small it was mostly invisible to radar - I spotted it on the horizon, but it appeared to be on a parallel course

Did the same voyage in a similarly sized boat, solo. Departed Berkeley then out under the bridge to half moon bay, then off the deep end for Honolulu. Took a bit longer than expected and was nearly hit by a passing vessel, but smooth sailin

I had an old i5 Mac mini laying about I wanted to use desktop Linux on the other day. The last time I tried, was about 20 years ago. I note nothing has changed since.

Can anyone comment on why Wenfeng shared his secret sauce? Other than publicity, there only seems to be downsides for him, as now everyone else with larger compute will just copy and improve?

Aren’t there a ton of blockchain projects trying to do this kind of distributed compute / LLM with tokenisation rewards etc? Theta project comes to mind

Why are the tech elite and right so obsessed with this term? It’s such a bizarre phenomenon - I can’t wrap my head around it.

I don’t think he actually has the kind of money to be as slippery as, say, Trump, McKinsey, etc.

But they weren’t using them as e-readers. Why would they, kids books with beautiful illustrations are 1000x better.

Sigh. Sometimes you don’t need 10 peer reviewed articles to just know when something is bad. Were you the guy in the 60s saying smoking was totally fine because studies? Sometimes you just know inhaling smoke everyday is probably not good f

Except for the usb c charge port - magcharge was the best invention and I’ll never understand why it was removed.

Also loved Adioso, while traveling in Europe I used it extensively - the UI was incredible and I could never understand why it was not much much more popular... I haven't traveled much in the last 4 years and it's sad to see it do

No doubt, but AI is already and will continue to make the web a true hellscape. The shitshow Google has created is nothing compared to what’s coming, sadly. Big tech is truly ruining everything.

Signal built by the US government? Is there any more actual information on this claim?

100% - but people don’t want to make those sacrifices. They want to live and do what they’ve always done. It has and likely always will be possible to pick up stumps and move somewhere very cheap and get on with a personal creative endeavou
