Well, the name only points to the fact that there was a ford (a crossing) on the River Thames where oxen used to cross. Nothing suggests it would have been free — in fact, if I owned a ford (a shallow crossing point) running through my prop

Not that I like Goodreads — I don’t even have an account — but I always check the rating. Anything above 4 out of 5 with thousands of reviews is usually worth reading. It’s very easy to filter out the weeds: read the classics and any book t

Same here, I was able to find it in internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20250625181250/https://www.terms... it takes a good 5-10 minutes to boot up

"I know that I know nothing" wasn't coined by a regular joe after all.

Law of diminishing returns. We’re talking about less than a 10% performance gain, for a shitload of data, time, and money investment.

I agree in the sense that if everyone did their part, the outcome would be meaningful. This is not to say that traps don’t make your house more livable. Once, I lived in a house connected to a forest in Brazil—no real neighbors, and a shitl

Good point. Looking ahead, Search will become a de facto LLM chatbot, if it isn't already.

Portuguese and German are like that. You’ve never seen the word before, but when reading it for the first time, you’ll probably pronounce it correctly. English is awful, but French takes the crown on this one—though more because it has the

Code review has become the new bottleneck, since it’s the layer that prevents sloppy AI-generated code from entering the codebase. One thing I do that helps clean things up before I send a PR is writing a summary. You might consider encoura

Late reply. There are two groups: 1. The ones who go after the news (a minority). 2. The ones who don’t even bother reading the article (the vast majority). From group 1, we have those numbers. Yes, potentially those 53% could read the news

That shows the danger of the clickbait economy. A weird, provocative headline creates misinformation. Of the people who try to access the article, only 12% actually read it (1% who pay, and 11% who bypass the paywall). Another 53% look for

Spot check: "OpenAI has claimed that as of December 2025, ChatGPT has 300 million weekly active users generating 1 billion messages per day. " ** should be December of 2024 ** , my brain bugged there.

Those zealots, gosh. Nonsense. When AI gets stuck in a suboptimal topology, it’s the human who nudges it out. How will you maintain code if you’re not even able to read it? Using AI to read introduces noise with every iteration. Did you se

You’re right that AI is fast and often more efficient than entry-level humans for certain tasks — but I’d argue that what you’re describing isn’t delegation, it’s just choosing to do the work yourself via a tool. Implementation costs are lo

The fact that you consider this “saving time” might show that you are not being diligent with your code. So what if the BDD is done? Read >> Write. As the final step, you should be cleaning up AI slop, bloated code, useless dependenci

Agree, that is not required. It is an Essay after all. That said, I disagree with the idea that it’s merely about aesthetics.(Hegel’s dialectic, for example, isn’t just a stylistic choice — its structure actively shapes meaning and allows f

A bit of friction and not being visible diminishes a specific behavior (in this case, interaction between blocked parties).

Opt-out is a powerful design choice, but in this case is a clear misuse. When everyone agreed to LinkedIn’s terms, no one agreed at the time to have their personal data used to train AI.

xray can only pick up information up to a level. an extra tool(window to our inner bits) without the necessity of making a biopsy is always welcome.

Just to add to the topic: If you want to bypass a paywall, the best tool is https://www.removepaywall.com/ . It consolidates a few different approaches to breaking paywalls, such as using the Internet Archive or Google Cache
