Someone on youtube[0] suggested we use (something like) KolibriOS[1] in a vm as a kind of webbrowser. Then we can have snappy effective desktop apps for everything cross platform(!) The 12 MB OS looks surprisingly mature. We are so conditio

Depending on where you live the heating might be nice. In the US people use roughly 10 000 kwh per year. Say we have a 40 watt bulb, say it burns on average 5 hours per day or 200 wh. In 365 days that would be 72 kwh which at 16 cents per k

Between real jobs I once worked at a factory that paid the bare minimum wages, gave zero hour contracts and had the most unstable work hours I've ever seen. People who weren't needed showed up only to be send home, people who were

I keep returning to this thought: Assuming our abstraction architecture is missing something fundamental, what is it? My gut says something simple is missing that makes all of the difference. One thought I had was that our problem lives bet

I once made a list of various issues raised in various elections in various countries. The instances describe a whole spectrum of cheating. The only consistent factor is that no one believes there was cheating. The funniest was an order to

We should have some benchmark project that bluntly describes the issues with each democracy. Like, did elected officials dramatically change in appearance (length, ears, nose, teeth, chin, eyes), election agenda points that don't match

I think it's great. The focus on the disagreements is useful. The humans made considerable effort bending reality into something they want to hear both in the training data and in the llm dev asylum. The round table can only agree on t

Fiat is actually a warped backroom version of money. It's a measure of trust I think? You could replace it with something that represents resources, perhaps even [future] labor.

Honest estimates are probably fine. If you are already drowning in work, make everything expensive enough to cover the errors. You always have some % chance to lose money with each customer. If the estimate is to high one can give a discoun

In the 1200's British colonizers invaded Ireland, in 1920's the same colonial oppressors were moved to Palestine. Arthur Balfour was Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1887 till 1891 and it was his idea to create a Jewish state in P
