Being busy acts like a pacemaker. All people I know with big families don't have mid-life crisis. They do get overwhelmed at times. But most have some hobby or passion. Sports, cars, wood-making, or side projects. Kids make you realize

I agree in a theoretical way. But in the real world corporations don't have skilled infosec/cyber people and they wouldn't even know how to find them [1]. So they end up with incompetent departments imposing ridiculous limita

The Iberian peninsula blackout was caused by poor planning and over-subsidizing solar. When there's a lot of sunlight and not much demand the prices fall drastically so nuclear plants were turned off to stop losing money. The problem i

LLMs will sure hit a dead end. But I think they will be a major stepping stone to help figure out and write the next generation.
