I had a similar experience with Derek Parfit's "Reasons and Persons", but he offers some solace: ‘When I believed [that personal identity is what matters], I seemed imprisoned in myself. My life seemed like a glass tunnel, th

I thought the same thing. I had a spare iMac sitting around so I thought I would kick the tires on it. I realize I could have used something else, but I wanted to give it iMessage access. I have to say, it's just better enough than a f

What a wonderful resource The Computer Chronicles has been. One of the core pieces of entertainment I use to fall asleep to when I am on the road and trying to sleep in hotels. Rest in peace, Stewart.

Right, and I seem to remember this sort of point in Wittgenstein as well in his rule-following argument where, to make an adjustment to his question, what would it mean for a computer to be miscomputing other than bucking our expectations f

Augmenting/replacing search seems to be one of the truly useful benefits of Copilot. Not sure if that's because it's good or because Teams/Sharepoint search is so bad.

Really feels like Openstack could use a fresh coat of paint and someone to create a nice opinionated distribution of it and challenge some of these f500 customer vmware accounts. It's very powerful, but is as user-hostile as I have per

I am personally interested in a thin and light phone since I am almost always within earshot of a way to charge my device. So long as it doesn't feel chintzy this will be my 3 year replacement phone.

Can you give me an idea of how much interaction would be $50-$100 per day? Like are you pretty constantly in a back and forth with CC? And if you wouldn’t mind, any chance you can give me an idea of productivity gains pre/post LLM?
