shifting baseline syndrome - didn’t know there was actually a term for it. I just call it generational amnesia.

I fully agree. There is no choice. People need to be on a certain income bracket to own macs. On a certain tech literacy level to own Linux laptops. So They've all been born and grew up on Windows. Recently I setup a recently purchased

I don't mean asking for help fixing, I mean asking for help in getting away from consequences. Like a scientist unleashing a zombie apocalypse asking for a ride.

This is why time matters. Society has generational amnesia. New generations will think of this as normal, and will even call you weird for thinking it could ever work differently. There will be an equilibrium, but it will be much farther th

What upsets me the most about this and similar trends (ie. Climate change, AI, etc) is that when crap hits the fan, the current proponents will: - tell you they couldn’t have know it would end this way - they really were right, except for t

Here I entirely blame Apple for opening this Pandora’s box. Politicians never attempt what they don’t know to be possible.

For me, cloud VPSs are the most abstraction I'm comfortable with. I can reason about what's going on and there is not a new article each week telling me how fly this, micro vms that, that are cool but to me unnecessary. Hosted? De

What I noticed is if you tell it to give suggestions it ignores the brevity parts and uses suggestions to add all its commentary.

The reason verifiability is important is because humans can be incentivized to be truthful and factual. We know we lie, but we also know we can produce verifiable information, and we prefer this to lies, so when it matters, we make the cost

This is an odd question. The solution would be the opposite of a one man show. There are managed services providers and there are sysadmins you can hire for a specified number of maintenance/support hours.

This is today. Society tends to have what I call generational amnesia. Some food today taskes like crap, but people from 2004 think it always tasted like that. Same is/will be true for information, but at a much larger scale. People 20

AI is on a completely differnt level than social media. With social media, you can still find information if you do some research. With AI, even supposetly reliable sources will be indistinguishable from fake ones. Scientific researchers ar

In some industries, for example where tipping is important, getting payouts at or almost at the speed of sales is often a differentiating factor.

I used to be a fan of the guy, now I’m not a fan, yet before Musk, I think Tesla to many people was just this exotic car that no one drove. Todays Tesla make the world believe in electric cars again and moved an industry. You have to give c

I am willing to bet that their risk and pricing departments have accounted to losing some percentage of revenue in refunds to delays. Then they decided over time to start making it harder to refund customers, and then they started accountin

Something can be predictable in some ways and not in others. If you build AI that is capable of giving you answers to complex world issues, the intermediary steps might not be predictable, and perhaps neigher the final answer, but you might

What would happen if you could build an artificial being that was capable of taking in input (action) and provide output (reaction). I don’t think predictability should be a defining property of computers, or we would not be trying to build

Ah, the family seating fee. I once paid close to $3k to reserve ajacent seats for my family on a 3 leg round trip. Prices varied from $80 to $200 per seat, in addition to the ticket. Was traveling with kids, wanted to make sure we were all

Well, refund everything. A delay is them not doing their job right, as promised. There should be a cost to that, and if they are forced to refund 100%, maybe delays/cancellations will be fewer. The cost to the customer is usually more

Why should the US to other governments jobs? I say this while not being American. I sometimes get upset when I see that every privacy and safety law is written to protect only US citizens, when it is the US that creates and fuels those pred

This. The smallest pieces of code I’ve put out were usually by far the most time consuming, most impactful and most satisfying after you “get it”. One line commits that improve performance by 100x but took days to find, alongside having to

I agree partially, but I also noticed on some projects that not everything looks better when absolutely centered. Sometimes something is centered but looks weird. You nudge it a bit off center and looks perfect.

Until you start firing emails and texts to your production customers :-) That aside, I think Neon is pretty cool. I will wait some time to see how stable a service it is, whether price hikes happen often, or whether VC money destroys it. I
