AI can make everyone miserable. Solution? Partner with all major AI companies using foundation (tax free btw) money. It's like saying Hitler is bad, let's split Europe in half so we can profit as well... ah well, that actually hap

User experience is not always correlated with metrics targeted by engineers. I visit a building sometimes with destination dispatch elevators, and with low exposure across multiple years I'm confused every time the elevator I need to t

I wish I knew that one month ago. Hired a small local company to fix something in my house, great reviews in yelp/facebook/google, license+insurance. The guy came for the estimate and everything felt smooth. Two other guys came fo

And yet listings in nice neighborhoods are gone in under a week in Seattle suburbs now. I started a rental 2 years ago and now again - similar houses are at least 25% more expensive now than two years ago. There was a line of families when

Looked for this comment! All those C*Os and founders are good and successful politicians, not nerds. There was a colossal PR campaign to picture them as nerds for multiple reasons, but most of them never created like nerds would do (with a

Renting won't match home ownership for few reasons. First one already mentioned in the comments is you can be kicked out at any time within your rental agreement. I was "lucky" enough to get our rental sold two years ago and

Interesting times we observe. I don't recall such a massive rupture in opinions about modern technology. Even fight over blockchain and NFTs looks minuscule compared to AI. Engineers always fought about technology - MS technology stack

Hunger games in the age of AI - eliminate/automate your colleague's job, until a single software engineer is left (or two if aristocrats will see it as a good PR).

There are traces of that internet and my own collection of links is still enough to satisfy my reading and communication needs. I tried to explore Kagi's small web and there's a very small overlap with my list. Probably everyone s

Great read. Got absorbed into few scenes. The scene with applauds played in my head as a silent movie with Charlie Chaplin presenting his perfect plans and crowd applauding unrealistically fast (due to under-cranking) with piano playing Sup

That's what happens when "family farms" rely on a large industrial complex and grow a mono-culture that doesn't have uses other than canning. It was an easy, steady cash-positive business until it wasn't. If those f

If you read documentation around Rust Async and Tokio, you'll find proper explanation why CPU intensive parts should not be part of async stack, how to use primitives efficiently (like std::sync::Mutex in async blocks), how to glue syn
