AI products will be speed running the last few decades of tech - make a compelling product, then add ads based on the prompt, then store prompts from each user and build psychological profiles, and finally manipulate AI output to maximize u

The article times bubble sort, which is just nested loops. And python is dead slow. Granted nobody uses bubble sort, but loops show up in all kinds of places in programming. With python, you always have to make a decision on whether to use

I use python because I have to, but not because I want to. I have to think twice about using something as basic as a loop, whereas in another language I don't have to.

The problem is deeper than that. Software has completely eroded property rights. I believe someone has coined the term "techno feudalism". Corporations own the software and us serfs merely lease it.

The framing around productivity misses a huge area - productivity of life. The less time that is wasted in office, the more time is available to do things that make life worth living. Any argument for return to office should justify why peo

The primary "innovation" of Uber is political, not technological. They've managed to circumvent labor protections and at the same time position themselves as the middleman between drivers and riders. In another Universe, a te

A good rule of thumb for shopping an Amazon - avoid anything that you can ingest, apply on your skin, and anything electrical. These are better to buy in a brick and mortar store where a human verifies that the product has indeed come from

Sure, they are children and said children do a lot of things at school that they hide from parents. This isn't new. As long as the children are not hurting others, why should the schools care?

Musk is presumably is speaking for SpaceX families and moving to Texas can endanger their lives. If Musk said this wasn't about families, but only about his political ideology, it would be different.

If a student wants to come out as gay and doesn't want to tell their parents, do schools inform the parents? Why should there be separate rules for identifying as transgender? Also, given Texas's draconian laws around reproductive

It's interesting to see Thiel and Zuckerberg be so oblivious to the problems of millennials. Boomers are a problem because they control capital and have lobbying power. The same kind of capital and political power now rests with the te

I can let in a contractor in my house and also ask them not to smoke. They of course have the right to refuse that request and decline my money, but in the real world, contractors usually comply with such requests as smoking is known to har

We need to think bigger. Having an app on your phone is like having a stranger in your house. The same legal protections that apply to property should apply inside the software that runs on your phone. An app should be at the mercy of the u

Technology cannot solve privacy invasion. A face is only one data point. Skin tone, clothes, your gait etc... all can give away who you are. What we need is a political framework that will go after privacy thieves. The thieves should face t
