Best manifesto of the 20th century imo. Modern man is an animal in a cage. He behaves increasingly abnormally because his environment is unfamiliar and out of his direct control.

2024 release date is disappointing. I wonder if they are waiting for 3nm chips? They didn’t announce any tech specs so I guess it’s all subject to change.

I highly recommend Human Smoke by Nicholas Baker (2008) for a book that puts WWII in a historical perspective different from the one we inherited.

The fact that this got downvoted shows disruption is in the air. Don’t shoot the messenger.

What is sustainable aviation fuel? Is it meaningful more “sustainable”?

I appreciate the kind of guy that adopts a technology before it’s “ready.” Bun is really sweet tech. I think a good benchmark for it being ready is being able to run Nestjs.

> We don’t know what’s causing it. Speculatively, I’d say it’s social media for girls (instagram, tiktok, snapchat) and porn for boys.

There was a period of time from about 2011-2013 where it felt like many parents would complain about everyone being on their phone. Then they started using them too and stopped complaining.

I think the huge majority of the risk is that an otherwise curious person destroys themselves in their teenage years, rather than have their curiosity limited.

The current CEO, who a friend at google calls “Captain Zonk”, is dispositionaly not the person to make that kind of change. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a leadership change this year.

I agree with this over the next 10 years but disagree over the next 30. When/If the innovation slows down, the open source stuff will be able to out compete commercial options. Something like this timeline played out for databases and

I don’t think trying to be the hall monitor of humanity has been good for google. The more paternalistic, the less innovative.

The counter argument, which I’m not sure I agree with but it has to be said, is that OpenAI benefits from Google’s open source work. So staying permissive might widen the gap further.

Agreed, having 5 monopolies extract all the value from computing and then slowly merge with the state is not a developmental stage we want to prolong.

Yes this must be fixed. Python packaging is such a nightmare I use a fresh docker image for every project, which is much easier than messing with pyenvs, conda, broken wheels and that whole mess.
