I know there is ageism in tech and that people think they need to do x(thing) by y(age) but as a 51 year old: let your values drive you and don’t spend all your money. My 40s on have been the best in terms of freedom, learning and execution

My first impression of your post was “it’s not perfect why do it?” - I hope I’m wrong. Hard to tell on the interwebs so apologies if that wasn’t the intent.

But at least there are _some_ critics that try to apply critical thought against the hype machine and all the stochastic bullshit we deal with every day.

Oh, totally, I'm so glad you have all the facts and can enlighten us. I think NATO is more important now than it has been in decades.

I trust very few "sources", especially these days. And even more especially, in the middle of a war between two former USSR states that have deep histories in manipulating public opinion and weaponizing that against their adversar

OP did write "fully aligned". The US is increasingly turning in to a religious state. Most of the Middle East are people who are part of a religion fundamentally in conflict with the religiosity of America and vice versa. Ridiculo

Digital music through digital systems has a lot of glorious qualities. But listening to records through my tube marantz or zenith amplifiers sounds way better to me. Tell you what, I’ll set up my Smaart rig (rational acoustics) in the room

I mostly agree with you but apple is doing its best to enshitify MacOS.

There’s maybe a better way to phrase it but you’re 100% correct re: innovation/originality.

They cosplay as socially liberal but they want to be free from the responsibilities of belonging to a decent society.

The capital class didn't like the power employees had during covid. They hated pretending that they care about employee health or well-being. So now they are vindictively sticking it to everyone. This phase, too, will pass. AI (LLM&#x2

I've had a lot of fun canceling subscriptions this year due to the low quality of 95% of the content, the series cancellations and the rising costs. I refuse to have the equivalent of the "cable bill" of 20 years ago.

Cool project! You're probably right - I haven't been in the Liberty Village area much since 2014, and moved to the US in 2022.

That's hilarious. "Our business decisions are questionable but for religious reasons we can't talk about it right now now"

That just tells me you have never built a company with local people and treated them right. I have made a ton of money fixing outsourcing problems or translating requirements - mostly India but also South America, Romania and Russia.

Um. This is weird. I know Dan (and the entire Beanfield team, at least the old guard of 10-15 years ago). Do we know each other? I was in 67 Mowat (aka Carpet Factory) off and on for a long while....

"The result was decent, but extremely frustrating. Because it would often deliver 80% to 90% but the final 10% to 20% it could never get right." This is everyone's experience if they don't have a vested interest in LLM&#

If it's working for you I have to assume that you are an expert in the domain, know the stack inside and out and have built out non-AI automated testing in your deployment pipeline. And yes Step 3 is what no one does. And that's n

I suppose economically, sure. But you know what happens if you employ people in your country? Everyone's quality of life improves and your country is stronger and wealthier. But that doesn't seem to matter to the capital class, th

I agree pretty much with your entire thread, but if Elon was Warren Buffet people who think Tesla is a premium brand would still buy them. It wasn't the lies or the quality that turned people off, it's the cost, lack of customer s

"The cultural hegemony that blue team activists have enjoyed is over, and now those with actual power are finally asserting it and ousting all of the trouble-makers." That's your take? I simply observe lawlessness.

I had my highest power bill last month in 4 years, in a month that was unseasonably cool so no AC for most of the month. Why are we as citizens without equity in these businesses subsidizing the capital class?
