Also, disaster is a good signal to the higher ups that there are problems in your org. If you keep putting out every fire with heroics, your boss will know (maybe), but his boss's boss's boss will see that your org is doing great

Yeah, but imagine you live in Phoenix, AZ, and you can't/won't drive for whatever reason, you've got to get to work every day. Phoenix has buses, but they're not going to be convenient for lots of possible daily com

It's still fascinating, but for a different reason. The "Concord" tool that got created bills itself as "Instrument-grade measurement of qualitative text. Explore in minutes, publish with honest statistics." Instrum

Thanks for responding, and to clarify, I am confident that Let's Encrypt is shared as widely as they are able. Could you explain what that requirement does stem from?

Let's Encrypt’s mission is to create a more secure and privacy-respecting web, except for people residing in countries with the most need for a more secure and privacy-respecting web. Sure, that's great. That said, pretty sure thi

If your primary audience is people who want to contribute to it, then the fun of hacking on it is more impactful than the benefit of the offering itself. That's not bad at all! But it also does not suggest that the offering itself is p

If the first thing people ask about your offering is "what programming language did you use when you made this," your offering is probably not that interesting.

And thus, we all agree that Linux, Windows, and OS X are all bad software, because they're written in C and C++ and have insanely complicated build systems.

Don't print the braille document directly. Instead, I suggest printing a braille embosser. Think Gutenberg press. Then use that to press braille lettering onto a sheet of paper. Although if you just want one sheet, I guess you could u

It's amazing how a company doing something for you that they don't have to do triggers loyalty. One time, I bought a couch online, and the company kept stringing me along with "we're behind but it's definitely comin

For a multiplayer game, especially for something like an MMO where there's lots and lots of content that exists only on the server, there's an interesting question. How do you keep the game going? Do you force the company to relea

Here's a free startup idea: operate an open-weight model service, and offer "Verified AI Integrity," which signs the input tokens, the seed for the randomness in selecting outputs, and the model ID, proving that the result of

It can't just be money. It also has to remove any notion of score or ranking. There should be NO incentive to artificially increase anything. Look at Advent of Code. Free site, fun community, but it had a leaderboard. The moment AI was

I endorse this name because, once it's the standard name for this technique, people will have to use it in meetings when seriously proposing them, which makes it harder to seriously propose. "And this is our design for the Dickove

I agree that you can apply this same argument to everything. And it's still a correct argument. Programmers will have jobs for a long time, and our most valuable skill will be figuring out what the heck management wants us to make.

Fish is healthy, and I know a bunch of choosey food folks who just fundamentally do not like fish. Steak, chicken, pork, fine, but not fish, and shellfish are just right out.

Oh yeah. Imagine the product offerings for food alone. "We can make you care about good wine versus bad wine in a way that the average sommelier will find very normal and perhaps even a touch impressive." Or "We can make you

My kid was an excited Duolingo user who immediately cut it off entirely as soon as he heard that they were doing something with AI. That was all it took. He heard "Duolingo's AI now" on some YouTube video, and it was immediat

It absolutely is wonderfully alright to not be the most efficient all the time. I'm going to use this opportunity to quote Kurt Vonnegut at length: I work at home, and if I wanted to, I could have a computer right by my bed, and I’d ne

This is an awesome setup. I like it, good job. That said, I do think there's a bit of irony to solving your "paying attention to writing" problem by setting up your OS from scratch, choosing to swap out the default networking

I dunno, the tools are kind of there. Browsers have canvases and JavaScript and SVGs and sound. The communities are around; they're just kind of dispersed. There's no one website that is THE place for fun stuff. Instead, there are

It's their content. They can do anything they like. Sort of. There are countries like France where attribution rights are fundamentally inalienable, and the author can always demand attribution, even after forever waiving the right to

It's not a bad theory, but I think you're making the logical man's mistake of trying to ascribe a lot of intelligence and strategy to a move because on the surface it's irrational. Not every villain's move is a myst

The guy he's suing is also a billionaire who can keep his enemies tied up in court needlessly until the day he dies, although that billionaire's net worth is only around 1% of Elon Musk's, so in a sense you're right that

Also, it's worth pointing out that the jury was obviously correct. Musk was lying his ass off. There is no possible way to imagine that Elon Musk, the hyper-online dude obsessed with news, AI, and AI news, would not be aware of the wel
