An interesting contradiction is that, in Summer Afternoon, you are in a wide empty town, but, in Messenger, you're stuck in a small planet AND limited vision. You can only see near-by stuffs and never the whole town. The design of the

What's being described here lines up with what Jurgen Habermas and Hannah Arendt warned about decades ago. Habermas, for instance, wrote about the "colonization of the lifeworld", where large systems eat into the small, every

While I totally agree with the logic, this particular visualization might mislead unsuspecting viewers into believing that our LEO is almost fully saturated. In reality, the satellites are so small that they would miss each other even if pl

Yeah, this would go no where for quite a long time. But agents will start replacing people once their mistakes cost less than hiring and managing people who perform the same tasks.

This one is where ICE’s operation is completely fair. Koreans have systemically abused ESTA on a massive scale for a long time. Korean companies treat ESTA as the de-facto business visa. US Homeland Security did tighten up the screening las

Ah, sorry, I did get that part, and my idea goes a little bit further, but somehow I thought I wrote enough. One thing is that this problem occurs because we have two independent channels that we must independently verify. I’m pretty sure t

The actual weak link here is not the procedure itself. It’s the fact that your email services will happily accept phishing mails into your inbox. I’m pretty sure we can prevent this by issuing some kind of proof of agreement (with sender

I get the feeling that modern computer systems are so powerful that they can solve almost all well-explored closed problems with a properly tuned model. The problem lies in efficiency, reliability, and cost. Increasing efficiency and reliab

I know a publisher who translates books (English to Korean). He works alone these days. Using GPT, he can produce a decent-quality first draft within a day or two. His later steps are also vastly accelerated because GPT reliably catches typ

I'm pretty sure they were generally (if not completely) correct when they said that. It's either the tech is advancing so quickly that many people can't keep up, or simply the cost of adapting outweighs the potential profit f

It's like the problem of half-full vs half-empty. We see LLM can handle certain tasks, but counter-examples are too far from being rare. So, "LLM can do A" is always followed by "LLM fails at A". The problem is th

Yeah, I totally abandoned Notion last year because it got too slow. The whole thing is pointless if it takes a minute or two just to navigate to the page I want. It takes a few seconds to do that on an archaic corporate SMB share.

The Bluesky community is left-leaning and mainly consists of early adopters - basically, a group of active idealists. It's unsurprising that they are highly hostile toward a company with a history of exploitative behavior. Additionally
