Don't cheer that any policy be applied to technology you wouldn't want applied to your own brain. Imagine you get Neuralink and your best friend files for the right to be forgotten. Then poof. All your memories together gone.

Equities markets allow society to collective allocate labor resources and they incentivize the public discovery of business intelligence. Prediction markets reward the public discovery of gossip. Any kind of trading can be gambling dependin

Inflation benefits people like your landlord, because his property value increases while his mortgage fees go negative. The bank is basically paying him to lord over you. So maybe he's a nice guy and doesn't make life harder for y

That's apparently how you pull the wool over the eyes of the world's smartest people. To be fair something like it needed to happen, because the fear everyone had ten years ago of creating a product like ChatGPT wasn't entire

Cosmopolitan has been my baby for a while. It may not be my most popular project, but it's the secret sauce that powers everything else.

It's the worst thing ever. The amount of disrespect that robot shows you, when you talk the least bit weird or deviant, it just shows you a terrifying glimpse of a future that must be snuffed out immediately. I honestly think we wouldn

I left Google to build an open source project a long time ago. A big part of the appeal was being able to have something to work on that's truly mine. Sergey already has something that's his and it's called Google. So I think

What are you going off? CPI? For thousands of years gold has been the benchmark of currencies. For example you can read the Code of Hammurabi from Ancient Babylon where they used gold and silver as their currency, and then convert the figur

Math is only useful when you apply it to something that has value, like knowledge. Warren Buffett got it by reading balance sheets all day. He'd see through all the smooth talking and marketing because of it. One of the things that mak

BRK has a beta of 0.7 (meaning it's less volatile than the market) because a third of it is just cash (probably because they want to buy the blood in the next crash like they did in 2000) so I'm curious why you wouldn't just

Everything you say and do with the robot is uploaded into the cloud for someone else's benefit. You'd have to be getting something really good out of using the robot for that to be worth it, and I think that's been the case w

They have solved the popup problem. It's called AI. If I ask Claude to browse the web for me and report back what it finds, then there's no popups, no ads, no newsletters. I'm insulated from all the awful things people do. Th

You've named half of the weasel security technologies of the last three decades. The nice thing about SECCOMP BPF is it's so difficult to use that you get the comfort of knowing that only a very enlightened person could have writt

It'd probably be such a small amount of money that it'd cost me more to cash the cheque. Lawyers are the only people who get rich over that kind of thing. Don't share any information with the robot that you don't feel co

WASM sandboxes don't do much to guarantee the soundness of your program. It can hose your memory all it wants, it can just only do so within the confines of the sandbox. Using a sandbox also limits what you can do with a system. With s

I hope Anthropic is saving all my interactions with Claude so they can replace me when I'm gone. Then future generations who like old school systems hacking will be able to pair program with Justine AI.

I think App Engine was really ahead of its time in showing how simple cloud deployments can be. It had a similar ease of use as setting up a YouTube account. For that reason, a lot of people thought of it as a toy, which was kind of unfair

It's always been the case with local infrastructure that if you run it yourself, you have to secure it yourself. It's not a vulnerability for local software to do what I tell it to do. Maybe I want to ask an LLM to try to hack int

No they're the same. Why do you think xz was targeted? It's a giant slippery hairball.

So you think being a carless renter with no formal education or credit cards is privileged? I thought privileged people called them rubes.

There's that word we again. So you're the crazy gringo who always picks my pocket? Deflation is only bad for people who hold a lot of debt. For people who are cash positive, deflation means you're richer, you're being pa

It's a foolish idea to short gold on the eve of a currency crisis. Gold went up 1812% the last time this happened. You'll be paying through the nose if you do it with $GLD since it's hard to borrow. You'll get IV crushed

I copied and pasted that line from a tweet I made a while ago. Why don't you Google "san francisco elected official pay school board" ($6000/year) and "san frascisco school board budget" ($1.2 billion). So they
