Anyone else ever think of somehow building an at-home carbon-removal system, for lower carbon content in the air of your living spaces? I know it's a silly idea, but one that has occurred to me from time to time.

A job doesn't usually involve a lifetime contract. And if it does, the severance required had better be incredible. Nobody should "sacrifice future career prospects" just for a job. And if they do, it's hard to blame the

Interesting! Would it be fair to say your company spend $100k to $150k per month on this? Multiply this times many, many companies, and you can see how providing AI could theoretically be a good business to be in. Margins may be tight, thou

This is indeed my standard practice. In my head, I just tell myself "I'm buying a month."

If you say "Our goal is to represent the views of the right wing", then you're making it clear that you are being honest about your perspective. This then encourages both you and your readers to be aware of the bias, which

This often happens when the news source is not honest about their biases, or if they don't make their biases clear. Fox News is the classic example: Their tagline is "fair and balanced," but their clear objective is to presen

I think Fox News is a good example, because their public messaging has always been "fair and balanced" while at the same time blatantly have a bias; this is just one aspect of how they are clearly deceptive. If instead of callin

I'm not saying that media should be used to influence instead of inform. Rather, I'm saying you should acknowledge that you are influenced and will influence, and be explicit about what those influences are. This is the only w

You can't be impartial; everyone has their own sets of biases that they can't get around. These are sometimes obvious, sometimes not, but they're always there. It's not necessarily intentionally dishonest to say you&#x27

Don't try to be "objective" or "impartial." That's an impossible task, and anyone claiming to do so is being dishonest. Instead, own your biases. Make them explicit and public. That way people can understand we

There is no micro-payment problem from the perspective of the vast majority of publishers. They simply don't want it. End of story.

Many people think you should avoid having bias. That may be the correct thing in some circumstances, but I think it's better to intentionally have bias, to make that bias explicit, and then to intentionally work within the framework pr

Also keep in mind that none of the big chip purchasers (Apple, Nvidia, etc), want to depend on one supplier for their chips. There are huge incentives among them to encourage Intel's success. Nobody benefits if just one company contr

Cloudflare is increasingly a problem in terms of blocking huge geographic regions, often without the website operators even being aware this is happening. All in the name of "security."

I actually really like Composer 2. For my use case, between the planning tool, and getting it to ask a lot of clarifying questions, I regularly get very good results. I'm not doing anything complex though; mostly staying in the lane of

I really want to like the Kobo. I really do. But I've had such bad luck with their devices. For example, sometimes the pages randomly start turning, really fast, so I completely lose my place. It also never reliably syncs between de

I too have noticed the shift in completely different contexts. Definitely gives me real pause. Mental acuity and sharpness is so important; it's the foundation of who we are as people...

> "People’s persistence drops." Has anyone else noticed this, as they've scaled up their AI coding use? I've found it harder to stay on task, and it's affected a broad range of my personal activities. I'm ab

That's great! Any chance I can pay for a license that includes one year of updates, as opposed to just doing a monthly subscription?

That looks nice! I do have to say, though, that having the contact history automatically visible in a sidebar is incredibly useful. I would consider adding it as an option to your app. Having it available at a glance, versus having to click

I really want a fast multi-email client that can easily show full contact history in a sidebar. Any options out there? Em Client does this, but it is buggy and/or slow. No such Thunderbird plugins exist, either.

I have a similar story -- we peaked at around $20k USD per month for quite a while. However, when ad-rates started declining, we changed our business model, and are now earning much more without any ads at all. I have to say, I'm glad

The lesson here shouldn't be that Claude Code is useless, but that it's a powerful tool in the hands of the right people.

You have to think about the security implications of this. How many people had any idea this was happening? Very few, I suspect. A malicious actor could take control of a model provider, and then use it to inject code into many, many differ
