The government is bound by acquisition processes for these large contracts: they put out RFPs and companies compete for the contract. All Google has to do is not bid for the next contract.

We have forgotten the simple, reliable solutions of the past - a grocery list on the fridge, a weekly planner, a weekly plan itself rather than constant coordination. Cell phones and easy communication led us here.

For me the thing keeping me on markdown is Obsidian on mobile - no other note taking app comes close. If they made an actual Emacs for mobile (actual emacs complete with elisp support, not the existing org mode apps) that was a pleasure to

Those are Clover machines from a company they acquired like 15 years ago. They're very good and in my opinion a big improvement over their traditional batch brew-and-store coffee. There are more roasts available to order, the coffee is

The conclusion that you should wait to build anything is an illustration of the danger of economic inflation that the author started with. I'm not sure why he thinks the economic version is toxic but the technological version is a good

If I read your suggestion correctly, you're saying the exam is basically a board explaining their decision making around their code. That sounds great in theory but in practice it would be very hard to grade. Or at least, how could som

Very nice :) The ability to add my own mp3 loops would be choice. Is that possible? I’m choosy about the exact cafe-train mix I work to…

I agree. However, so many of my use cases include a one-to-many relationship that I was outgrowing excel/sheets too quickly. Once a project added a VLOOKUP, it hit an inflection point in complexity. I spun up a local Grist instance in

What project estimation/management process would you suggest as an alternative?

Man, I hate headlines like this. It may be true that what they're doing is evil but I feel like I'm not allowed to have my own opinion.

Arguable indeed: plenty of email clients have great UI. Both RSS readers I used are better than Facebook.

Yes! I want an option to always add README.md to the context; It would force me to have a useful, up to date document about how to build, run, and edit my projects.

It doesn't have to be difficult to self-host. Like another commenter said, in a diffe world that could be the default. iCloud gives apps an API to sync. The backend doesn't have to be a data center, it could be a time capsule in

In the case of huge frontier LLMs, the public labs will likely never be able to compete. In my experience, govt orgs are ardent rule-followers and wouldn't be as willing to violate copyright.

If it's famine you're worried about, I think we'll be ok as long as the govt doesn't try to set prices/mandate supply [1] (which isn't out of the question I suppose.) If it's war due to decreased economic

Children still need to be able to explore the world themselves, I would say most of the time kids spend above 3yo should be without a parent facilitating their activities. Also, adults have lots of responsibilities other than making sure

You described two different things: a psychological effect first, and then a market. The elephant example isn't mere-exposure. Also, I'm not an expert on this but do we see more sensless killing by kids playing violent video games
