A world screwed by a mouth breathing MAGA cult. I guess democracies should have programmatic indicators when the idiocy levels start increasing. Countries that cross a bunch of "idiocy indicators" will need intervention. There is

I think we need to counter surveil those in power and their relatives.

Yup, for openclaw and APIs you dont need a big PC. I run something lightweight on the RPI4 8gb. Many people run local LLMs which is where a mac is useful. Frankly I dont think you can beat the value of an openrouter subscription and API cal

There was a time I used to listen to the All In Podcast. Then Trump became president and these guys started gloating with glee about all the breakage that Musk and Trump were causing. Was quite the shock to me to see the all out happiness.

They asked for a global AI moratorium and got one. Funny how things work out. Best of luck with the IPO.

This is the kind of supply risk everyone should plan for. Depending exclusively on one country, one provider, or one model is not going to cut it anymore. I'd double down on improving opensource local models even more and getting harne

Windows 11 is what happens when no one speaks up at product team meetings. People nod their heads, get on with the build and the marketing team decides they want another 40 hooks into customer data for monetization. Windows 11 today is a sp

Yes and an LLM checks it as well. I am yet to find a sysadmin task that an LLM couldn't solve neatly.

During the Covid lockdowns in India, I saw birds I had not seen in decades. It was amazing; the skies had cleared up, and nature truly was recovering.

A lot of people are finding the Mac Neo very interesting given how unfriendly the whole Win11 experience has become. Either MS learns or the market teaches them the same lessons IBM learnt.

With the Mac neo, some of us will not have to tolerate Win 11. They were forcing us to upgrade, well, they made people upgrade to the Mac neo. An all metal Apple notebook that isn't actively user hostil is a massive quality upgrade for

What I do is i ask claude or codex to run models on ollama and test them sequentially on a bunch of tasks and rate the outputs. 30 minutes later I have a fit. It even tested the abliterated models.

Far more people are coding and participating and creating things now than before. Doesn't matter what you call it. There is enough excitement.

The US' honor system hasn't worked out with this level of rule breaking and brazen corruption. The Nazis seem to be on their way back to power.

I had problems with tailscale being flaky about a year ago and it would stop responding taking down networking with it. I've since ripped it out and went with a VPS based wireguard for all PCs and mobiles. Stable since then.

India has a huge fake jobs problem. I think it is because of the number of "HR consultants" who constantly need to refresh their databases with "fresh" resumes. I've seen the same jobs being posted for over 8 years

That's fine IF tech stays out of politics, but that's not the case anymore. US tech bros are buying themselves policy with this administration. If tech is influencing politics and consequently, all of us, why should there be an as

I see a similar theme with most techbros or rich VC groups. They say they dont like politics but they move fast to influence policy by buying influence. See what's happening with Trump and the tech companies. What tech connected leader

Atleast in Europe there are some basic rules around data collection. In places like India, linkedin is a free for all vacuuming up resume data. I've seen the same jobs on linkedin appear for nearly 4 years with no changes and hundreds

I think devs have now split into two camps, the kvetchers and the shippers. It's a new tool, it's fresh. Things will work itself out over the next couple of years/months(?). The kvetching helps keep AI research focused on the

I dont think any opinion right now is going to be definitive. This is like mixing paint, the edges are still white, while the centre is colored. What Iam seeing is that customers are delaying purchases of large expensive software. Prime exa

Google's interface, UX and information flow is complete spaghetti. You never know what you will find and where. There is no one you can call either. I suspect they abandon their products because 50% of potential customers abandon their

Between the RAM shortage and the forced migration to Win11 along with a forced HW upgrade, I'd start shorting MS asap. This bit about lack of adoption of Copilot is just icing on the cake.

What happens to enterprise apps like SAP and S4 on the cloud that swallow huge amounts of RAM for their in-memory database? AWS, GCP, and Azure must be running around? With their predatory pricing customers were already hesitant about upgra
