Ultimately, it's an internal battle. A battle of bureaucracy+ignorance vs democracy+optimism+innovation. The side that weighs more wins. And the adversaries are hoping it's the former.

Irrespective of the political leadership, it's unlikely that USA military is completely oblivious about the new modes of wars - cheap drones, AI, rapid build-outs (e.g. in China). On the contrary, they are likely deeply aware of it. T

I live in the New England and last year got a quote for replacing my existing boiler and furnace with two heat pumps. MassSave offers a good rebate program with $10k rebate. The problem is that the installers have bumped up the prices to th

Does anyone know where is official golang in its support for WASM? Last time I checked you had to use a fork of Go called TinyGo.

For a layperson, the passwords are easy to understand and provide enough ways to shoot themselves in the foot. Unless you are an expert, password hygiene can rarely be accomplished. For a layperson, passkeys are difficult to understand, but

This will probably not work for everyone, but works pretty well for me. I simply use the "default" Mac OS/iOS apps: - Photos (shared via iCloud) - Notes - Music - iCloud for file storage - I also use google docs for spreadshe

AI may be meta's only and real "grow out of newsfeed business" card. They should probably pivot, release their own version of ChatGPT/VoiceGPT, start charging for it and maybe rebrand (metai?). They are currently not bei

It’s about time. We probably need to go even faster, like face melting faster to remain competitive/relevant. Frankly though, this is just one of the dimensions. There is also the “people will need to work harder” dimension. That will

It’s hard to be an absolutist on such a big question. Everyone has distilled it in their own ways. I will throw mine: There is no purpose of life. Life is THE purpose. To experience its full brilliance is the ONLY purpose. And only way to e

It’s hard to predict. Companies with good DNA can bounce back. Take a look at Microsoft. They were written off in Google’s hay days. Google has a good technology DNA. I think they need an inspiring leader, maybe another insider who is a str

I have never had any brush with the giant. But I have my own little story to share. Way back in 1998, I was a newly minted engineer in India and was visiting Bangalore. While roaming around on MG Road, I picked up a book named “Inside Intel

<rant>Having recently started writing Java once again, i am horrified at the mess that it has become. Between reactive streams, completable futures, guice wiring, it feels like voodoo. It’s hard to even reason which code is running s

I am big fan of Elon Musk. But the way things are going, I predict he will end up in one of the following ways: - end up in jail, as he has ruffled too many feathers. Someone will throw the book at him - end up ousted from Tesla, because in

They don't say much on why not Envoy. It would be interesting to hear if there were concerns with it.

This is likely going to be controversial. I am all for more time off. But the way the world is evolving, to maintain its competitiveness, America cants really afford to be slacking any further. Ultimately, it’s the work of the people that t

A bit poetic, but suddenly the universe feels a bit more approachable, more within reach, a bit more sane. As if, through JWST, you can extend your hand and touch and feel and socialize with neighboring galaxies. Truly a window to our galac

It's all about digestion: 1. Eat your dinner at-least 2 hours before you go to bed 2. Don't drink water for 2 hours after the meal. Let the food digest 3. Eat more of easy to digest foods - fruits and veggies 4. Try to have a gap

Well let perfect not be the enemy of the good. The reality is that Go is wildly successful in practice for good reasons that have been hashed numerous times. As a result tons of Cloud software is written in Go. There is nothing Go needs to

After having tried a number of approaches, including various VIM plugins, I decided to go with the Apple Notes. If you are bought into Apples ecosystem, it works incredibly well. Syncs to cloud. Available on both my desktop and phone. I rec

Frankly, I am happy to hear about this upcoming change. It is true that it’s easy to pop in/out a physical SIM. But I am hoping/projecting that eSIM will become equally easy to plop in the future soon after this change. In return,

While it is easy to start with monolith, it's not easy to just go from monolith to Microservices in case it is determined that's the best path forward. Often organizations don't have the luxury to "learn" by doing a

Frankly, this is what America has always been about - A combination of science, technology and capitalism. We need a lot more of these moonshots attempted at a massive scale. So what if it may not work out? People can not stop for the fear

Few changes that have helped me greatly towards a happier life are: 1. Cutting out alcohol 2. 15 minute meditation before sleeping 3. Regular exercise - e.g from YouTube 4. Eating less…sort of intermittent fasting 5. Reminding myself to do

It seems so ordinary yet surreal. So second nature. Seems as if humanity has access to another realm suddenly. It probably must have felt the same when the airplanes started carrying ordinary joe blows.

Ultimately the proof is in the pudding. With Tesla FSD you can drive the highways from New York to Boston without any issues. I am sure there are many more routes across the country that can also be driven like that. Definitely not L5, but

- Personally I don’t think PG is defending mighty app because he has skin in the game. I would think he is at a point where he doesn’t need to. - Also IMO we should let mighty app (or for that matter other crazy ones) play out. We all know

It’s a sad but emerging reality. Though if we can trade - corporate-ism for innovation, complacency and entitled-ness for hard work, political brainwashing for issue based activism, gradual progress for leap frogging - I would still bet on
