The solution is to hoard ideas, organize them, review them and experiment. I for example suspect that giving students more time for everything would improve results. I have nothing to show for this but it would be good science to run the ex

A wise man once told me that a company or organization has enough professors or high level academics they must also run the show. They won't like it but they have to. You shouldn't have a layer above and pretend they know better.

You can't sell a product or an idea and put random nonsensical limitations on who may buy or listen to it.

Everyone should really stop posting online unless their job requires it. The platforms offer only castrated interactions designed not to accomplish anything. People online are useless obnoxious shadows of their helpful and loving self. No o

I had deepseek explain MCP to me. Then I asked what was the point of persistent connections and it said it was pretty much hipster bullshit and that some url to post to is really enough for an llm to interact with things.

Start by making a website that works on mobile. You can't just talk to part of the audience.

They will eventually eat everything while they laugh at us. Why would you build a rail network if it isn't profitable? Why build anything if it isn't profitable? Why would you even house people if the profit isn't guaranteed

Can chose to increase production or embrace the scarcity. The later might look delicious on paper. More profit, less effort, less short term risk. All you have to do is ignore the whale in the room.

Some time around 2010 I update th virus and Trojan definitions on a windows 95 machine that wasn't really used beyond 2004. It had every free scanner one could download. They found over 1500 things. Apparently someone ran a trojan gene

The Wero payment system will cover the entire EU but apparently doesn't have a web portal the way ideal has. Soon we Europians will only be able to pay using either an iphone or an Android device. Hilarious

Just when you've asked if there are eggs the doorbell rings, the neighbor stands there in disbelief, it told me to bring you eggs? Give him the half bottle vodka, it's going to expire soon and his son will make a surprise visit to

I've often wondered, is there no metric for how popular a brand is? After everyone makes an account it shouldn't be difficult to retain users. For years non of my friends saw any of my postings and I didn't see any of theirs.

Sounds like how humans work (which is good) having the more experienced human do the task if the novice fails should come after attempting to explain how the novice should do it.

Early on in the internet age it somewhat bothered me that every page on the www either acts like it is the first thing one reads on a topic or assumes great knowledge of the subject. With nothing in between. Wondering about a technical solu

You can do diplomas for different parts of government and assign ranks to voters based on their familiarity with the topic. Then you can share the voting results by how informed people are. If I don't know much about the topic buy thos

You shouldn't care about presentation but others will. I think an llm approach could be good. You make suggestions in however insane language and it converts the format to something boring and mundane accepted by all clients. Some peop

I really want this to be as simple as forwarding the user through a gov website and receiving a hash on a webhook. All I really want to know is that it is a citizen and the same hash as last time

The solution is obvious and not going to happen. Extra tax, super cheap rent with conditions: Minimum number of products, product diversity, open x days per year (etc?) 30 years ago there was this lovely shop here full of hand crafted woode

here in the Netherlands a lot of shops that use to own their building switched to renting it to some sucker who does all of the work for a fraction of the profit. Then, when they go bankrupt you put a new sucker in.

I think the dumbest thing that happened in the west was the combination of lack of access to education and mass immigration. Many found themselves competing for jobs with people starting with nothing, often even without knowing the language

Seeborg was actually hilarious but it worked best if put in a room full of certified insane people. Perhaps use an LLM to correct grammar and rate the remarks. Comparisons are probably the funniest. A trillion parameters won't buy happ

I've seen people live with their parents till 40 while waiting for a tiny room that will cost 2 or 3 times what their parents pay for their large villa with large garden. Its quite simple to me. We the grown ups (together) are to facil

Two things this reminds me of. I was once part of a "traveling" community that would sign up for every new platform. A good few tech bloggers among us. We would meet again and again but the community still failed long term despite

I press the button on the website and it wasn't even animated, worse, it didn't have an active state. Not that I like to see that stuff but you did animate the text and feedback does help usability.

I'm no crypto expert, just fooling around. The security questions are like extra shares of lower value. My mental model is something like burying the password in your 100x100 yard. You give one friend the X and a different friend the Y
