I've said this since time immemorial, and networking people often dismiss it. "Just use DNS," say people who have never actually worked netops or devops. The length of the addresses and the clunky nature of their ASCII repres

So there are papers. There are studies on tons and tons of things. One of the things you learn really studying science is that there are always papers, and you really have to immerse yourself in a field to see what’s actually happening. Peo

We're still in bubble-period hyper-polarized discourse: "shoehorn AI into absolutely everything and ram it down your throat" vs "all AI is bad and evil and destroying the world."

Pop science guru-ing is a giant flashing red sign for me. I am never even a little surprised when the latest “sense maker” or pop science guru comes out as a complete loon or is consumed by some kind of scandal. Influencers in general are a

The only two car companies to make any meaningful profit on EVs were founded as EV companies first? That’s not that surprising. It’s very hard to make elephants dance. If that remains true it means all these auto companies will be dead in 2

When you go shopping and see two items for sale that seem nearly identical, do you buy the cheaper one? If you have long term savings do you want it to earn interest? The desire to optimize for profit exists at all levels among all particip

Regulatory capture or sitting on an immovable network effect. Antitrust is like anti camping mods for the server.

It’s an ideology that’s been consistently and often staggeringly wrong since it first became very popular in the 1970s. Historically it’s been popular on the left, while demographic doomer stuff is more popular on the right. These ideologie

That political sunk cost is why the innovators dilemma happens. It happens in companies too where managers, executives, and top employees will have their careers built around a certain way of doing things. Change threatens that so they will

It’s much more like dot.com than crypto. Like dot.com there is a “there” there, but nobody knows what to do yet and there’s a ton of speculative fluff. Crypto was more pure fluff, possibly the most vacuous bubble we’ve had in recent memory.

Lol. Rapid “code gen” can slow down the process. Some of the best programmers have negative productivity when joining existing projects if you measure it by lines of code added. Simplicity is harder than complexity. I want to tattoo this on

No I saw it. I just felt like that was the moment it tipped.

It’s the innovators dilemma. We have so much not just technical but cultural and political sunk cost in fossil fuels and traditional industrial era infrastructure. The Chinese are just developing now and don’t have so much of that sunk cost

It’s really the only common reason to buy a machine that big these days. I could see a Mac Pro with a huge GPU and up to a terabyte of RAM. I guess there are other kinds of scientific simulation, very large dev work, and etc., but those thi

No way buying a bunch of minis could be as efficient as much denser GPU racks. You have to consider all the logistics and power draw, and high end nVidia stuff and probably even AMD stuff is faster than M series GPUs. What this does offer i

The “engaging experience” is the entire problem. The fact that it’s harder to do addiction engineering on a decentralized network is a feature.

I’m using the word liberal to mean things like liberty, individual rights, democracy, and the rule of law. That’s why I also mentioned hard left authoritarianism. Also there’s a world of difference between people registering dislike on an o

My take for a while has been that authoritarian ideas (both hard right and hard left) dominate on social media because of the short form short attention span format. Authoritarianism tends to run on simple slogans, grievances, and identity

Social media isn’t social anymore. People don’t use it to talk to anyone. It’s about mindlessly scrolling through chum guided by an algorithm.

To me a fatal flaw in ActivityPub systems is that your identity is tied to a server. Yes you can port it, but it’s a hassle. That means the server ops become these little lords over little fiefdoms and a server just dying takes your identit

We don't have a free market in housing at all. It's a cartel with restricted supply.

by api 10mo ago
PE buying real estate is a long bet on housing prices. If supply increases enough, prices flatten out and then fall, and the longs get crushed. These investments are a bet on continuing to under-build and under-densify.

There’s different kinds of libertarians, and there’s certainly one kind that is only interested in the freedom to be an asshole. Note that this kind of “libertarian” also tends to be fine with attacks on women’s reproductive freedom for exa

It’s expensive for now, slow for now, online for now, but it’s pretty clear that this is the future. If I were blind I’d want it to go here since it would just unlock so much more. Very little software or sites have good accessibility. Open

Find some images of the entire huge scale structure of the universe. It looks a bit like… a brain. What does this mean? Probably not nothing, but probably not “the cosmos is the mind of god.” It probably means that we live in a universe tha

What about just AI assisted accessibility? Like stop requiring apps to do anything at all. The AI visually parses the app UI for the user, explains it, and interacts. Accessible is an also-have at best for the vast majority of software. Thi

I immediately started thinking that if there are such patterns maybe they capture something about the deeper structure of the universe.
