Nice post, new babies are really magical. There are so many more transformations coming! Now that I have two, one of them coming up on age 4, so many new things make sense. You don’t immediately get the sense of the father/son discipli

As far as I’ve read, historically speaking, most assassinations are crimes of passion. When Japan’s government was “government by assassination” in the early 1900s, most of the assassins were not hired guns but instead true believers. Ultra

It’s interesting to me that we continue to see such pressure on video and world generation, despite the fact that for years now we’ve gotten games and movies that have beautiful worlds filled with lousy, limited, poorly written stories. Sta

As far as I’ve seen when airspace is restricted, it’s restricted, there are no “levels of restriction”. If a spaceship is launching, no one can fly - if the president-elect is there, no one can fly. Also, I believe star base is over two mil

In the case of CSAM, yes. In the case of other material? No. Again, I side heavily on the side of freedom of speech, but the argument that limiting speech and limiting some specific kinds of widely condemned speech are orthogonal does not s

Security is having a bit of a hay day as everyone fights to build a moat against smart kids and AI. SOC2 and friends are a pain in the ass, but are a moat more than most these days. Security theater? The answer is at least “mostly”, but a m

I think it should be obvious that Elnur Soltanov should be dismissed immediately, and that this is totally unacceptable. However… conflicts of interest are an interesting problem. There’s some similar discussion regarding Russia on the UN S

What's a dog? Is a child's plastic toy in the shape of a dog a dog? Maybe. Is a cross-bread wolfhound a dog? Maybe. Language games! Meaning is "fuzzy around the edges". If you insist a cat is a dog, we're not playin

Execution is everything. Not to drop a link in someone else’s HN launch but I’m building https://therapy-forms.com and these guys are way ahead of me on UI, polish, and probably overall quality. I do think there’s plenty of slig

I’m never sure how to feel about arguments that take the form of “it’s obvious, just compare to <thing a statistically vanishing number of people could possibly be in a position to evaluate>”. I’m not sure how many Americans in an ave

As a regular old “platform engineer” I fight to ignore “data platform” tasks. There’s no target to hit, it’s just moving sand around a sand box. If you want an answer to a specific question, we can spin up a read replica and a Metabase and

The effectiveness of any political system (and a large corporation is a political system) comes down to its porousness. Too rigid and it breaks, too porous and it's not a coherent system at all. Whenever you hear "it means whateve

It almost feels easier to disassemble and resew the shirt from recycled fabric. I’m mostly joking, but my point is that physical AI probably implies a complete rethink of every individual routine from first principles: why fold the shirt

What we need is, is Job-postings-as-code so that we can automate the deployment of Linkedin postings such that when a recruiter is let go, we can automatically identify their postings and clean them up. We'll call it DevHiringOps Serio

Certainly agree about the bottleneck around DevSecOps. I wonder if this might be useful for the typical "scan everything, patch everything, SBOM for everything" loop that typically lands on DevOps teams and becomes a classic devop

Born too late to die in infancy, born too early to see immortality. I imagine parents in the 1890s felt the same way. Our children will see a new and different world than we can imagine. I love this topic of moving past “health” and towards

This idea that anyone who doesn’t agree with your economic policy is obviously a paid plant is painful. I just listened to an R and D both wildly misconstrue the abortion issue as if one side wanted to murder children and the other wanted t
