We are the just-in-case USB 1.44mb floppy disk drive sitting in the bottom drawer of some neckbeard’s desk.

Sounds interesting. Any plans to open source it? I didn't see a GitHub link.

It does in the sense that they're losing business, as people describe in this thread. But I get your point, Google seems to be enjoying the profits more than the harm to their reputation. If it gets bad enough, maybe they'll ret

I have a dumb question. What is the eventual of efficient land use? Say we bulldoze a bunch of single family homes and get 10x as dense. Now we have 10x as many people per square kilometer. Is that an efficient use of land? Will there

I remember talking to a person who worked in marketing Kingsford, which at the time had like over 90% of the marketshare for USA charcoal. They had a marketing budget that was willing to spend money on any ol' stupid idea because they

I only have one minor complaint about Fastmail after 5 years. I can’t do a full-page screenshot of a long email on my iPhone.

Nothing sexy. Just automating all the little recruiting tasks that suck up my time. Mainly MVP will just reduce, not totally eliminate, applications from people who aren’t serious or are clearly or a fit. A lot of nice to have features t

Quit my job in May. Been working on a hiring platform that I’ve always wanted. I wanted it so bad I quit recruiting, taught myself to code, worked as a developer for 12 years, and now I’m building it :)

Personally I find AI simultaneously powerful and fatiguing. Hiring someone else to use AI is honestly pretty great.

Buying stable coins is a mild pain because so many banks think crypto is radioactive. Then you have to wait for your deposited funds to completely settle before you can withdraw the crypto from your account and send it elsewhere. Doable,

It's fine to make a project that will only be interesting if people choose to contribute, and it's fine if people want to contribute.

I wonder how well a coding agent could be out Apple silicon programs to older Intel chips.

Your model/harness will indiscriminately do web searches to get answers. I believe that’s where the real risk is.

There needs to be a simple feature to wipe your phone and then restore to a point and time. That’d be really convenient.

I don’t think concentration risk is itself overly concerning. The nature of a market cap weighted index means it will always be heavy on whatever is currently trending. You’ll certainly be hurting if your plan is to retire at the top of t

I never appreciated a proper muffler until I didn't have one. I was driving a 27-year-old Honda Civic, and the rusty muffler fell off one day. On the way to go get it fixed, the typically quiet Honda made a ridiculous amount of noise.

Fun fact: Ryanair owns its fleet outright, and (currently) buys all of its new planes from cash flow. Pretty unusual for a major airline.

Unless the quote was good for a certain amount of time, I don’t see a problem. Prices change. When you see a good price, buy it.

I felt a similar way when I visited the Gran Telescopio Canarias, a 10.4m telescope in La Palma in the Canary Islands. It’s hard to take pictures of the entire telescope because it’s so damn big. I love experiencing the feeling of being i

You don’t need to learn how to code if you’re not working on anything important & interesting. But you’ll be limited to what AI can do for you. If you need to solve problems where AI is weak, you’ll need the skills to do the work your

What if you don’t filter at all? What if you just interviewed 10 random people? They’re probably all smart enough on some level.
