Most startups die doing this, most large orgs just set first to loads of money and make their software buggy, they already have product market fit.

This doesn't just extend to text but all media has become corrupted by activity on the Internet. People have started arguing with nonsense/outright lies in the real world as if they are on Twitter, TV Shows are now structures in t

I could give you a huge list but mostly it is computer programmers having the specification constantly changed by management and stakeholders. Even bad software developers can eventually make the software functional, even good software deve

I didn’t know this, it seems they love open source even thought they have competing commercial products. Maybe there is just more money is selling cloud than there is in selling commercial databases?

by andy_ppp 3y ago
I will be extremely surprised if Microsoft build this for open source databases, however someone else will definitely build it if you don't, that is completely true :-)

Aren't most of the Tor exit nodes widely thought to be run by government agencies? People thought that was true at a security firm I used to work at. I wouldn't be surprised if Tor was a honey pot designed to catch people doing ne

Too big to fail implies the government should probably break them up then.

There’s undoubtedly great engineers at Boeing but the management sound like most software organisations I’ve worked making random decisions to obtain bonuses or favours with bosses. In software this can just get 900 postmasters jailed, in p

Haha, obviously you haven’t worked in any large enterprises before that aren’t software companies. Basically the business rolls dice and comes up with some random requirements and then tries to change those requirements constantly until you

Yes, of course a hardware startup have a better product than Open AI. Definitely not an entirely faked demo… my suggestion is that this will not happen for 5 years at least.

And driving home is still more dangerous than getting on the flight.

Never is a very long time, I suspect you’ll be able to chat with an AI assistant, in a language of your choosing, within 5 years.

Boeing should sack all their management and promote engineers to any needed management positions. This idea after the last set of issues is ridiculous and it'll be the same non-technical people who think it's magical thinking that

Software patents is a disaster, a lot like patenting mathematics, it's ridiculous and we can all imagine what would happen if there was one company with a patent on calculus, ray tracing or matrices... it would hold everything back.

I think drivers should be compulsory to open source 5 years after the hardware is no longer sold, it’d be so good for consumers and make hardware last a lot longer. I’d include things like digital cameras and printers in this revolution. I

That’s good because a quick poll where I am everyone says they would like to reduce social media usage!

by andy_ppp 3y ago
It’s a hack as I understand it, not good for volume production and design specific in a way that makes it non competitive.

I am actually not convinced the people chatting on Mastodon or Discord are addicted in the same way as YouTube and Twitter. How about this instead, no algorithmic feeds for any 8 hours of the day you choose, so if you want a more peaceful e

I'm not saying the proposal is finalised or even marginally thought through. But neither is everyone being horrifyingly distracted by social media.

by andy_ppp 3y ago
Can we switch social media off for 8 hours per day, 9-5pm maybe. I think it would make everyone happier and I bet nobody would miss it.

Okay only time will tell. Which technologies has Chinese capital (rather than American capital) been successful at funding, I think display technology and solar panels they are ahead on, anything else?

I'd be fairly certain they have hardware backdoors into most things... My guess would be that there are multiple segments to the NSA, some of whom have access to the hardware level backdoors and others that want the software to be easi

If you think about how difficult invading Ukraine has been for Russia, add in 100 miles of water for the most inexperienced navy in the world and it would likely be a blood bath. I've always wondered if sinking a super carrier (group?

Unfortunately for the Chinese it's extremely tricky for even private capital to pick the winners in these spaces. I'd guess there is almost zero chance the Chinese government giving out free cash beat the market and even build the

Does anyone know what stops the remaining fuel from igniting? Seems pretty amazing everyone got off, I’m looking forward to reading the full report of what happened!

Okay, if you want to be pedantic, 1.3% of all CO2 emissions come from gas flaring (500 Million Tonnes annually on roughly 37.15 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted). Seems like a lot to me at a time when we are meant to be reducing all greenhouse

The gas from shale oil production is just pure pollution, it's not being used for anything so they burn it off into the atmosphere.

The astonishing amount of gas being flared off from US shale production can be seen from space. Nobody is actually reducing emissions as far as I can tell, we are running the experiment of far more that 2°C increases in temperature. What sh

I was about to buy the new Zelda game online, you are right though it’s hard to imagine how they can ever stop supporting it without everyone who bought a digital game coming to them with a bill. I wonder what the terms and conditions say?

How hard is it for Adobe to offer a competing product? It's not like the new features are deal breakers.
