And location. While going to school my family lived in a 2 bedroom that was, I think, just under 600 square feet. The fridge was in the living area. The kitchen was a space so small you could touch every surface/cabinet if you stood in

Everything is part of an ecosystem, even office buildings. Nature shows us that a healthy ecosystem, one that survives shocks, is a diverse ecosystem. Diverse ecosystems find niches faster and niches grow over time to turn into major drivin

Something like proxmox [1] could make wiping everything and restarting a lot easier. There really isn't a huge penalty between bare metal and a VM now so you get the ability to create/deploy/monitor all from a reasonable inte

Totally off the topic at hand, but I have never used an LLM to write a comment. What tools do you use here? What have you tried? How much to you integrate it into sites like this?

That is a valid criticism. My tone was a bit combative even though I am largely supporting the article's conclusions. What I was targeting though was the idea of an ethical duty by the lawyers or the company. The title, 'Meta&#x27

I didn't say that politicians and laws are perfect. They are terrible. But the key differences is that I have at least -some- say in politicians while I have 0 say in a company. This is why libertarian philosophy always breaks down for

> Reducing your legal risk by deleting old data that is no longer needed and no longer on legal hold is unethical. This, to me, is the crime. They are purposefully destroying data because they know it poses a legal risk to them. That is

I personally don't want companies deciding what is or isn't ethical. That is because a company only has one ethos, make money, so a company's ethics and mine will never line up. I expect every company to be rational which mea

Just scanning through this, looks interesting and is totally needed, but I think it is missing showing future use-cases and discussions of decoding. So, for instance, it is all well and good to define a simple language focused on testing an

My biggest fear when getting a new laptop is that I won't figure out the BIOS fast enough to get it to recognize the usb drive I have plugged in and it might actually boot to windows. Now I will be extra freaked out because it might no

Totally agree. Maintenance staff often get ignored. It is worth pointing out how skilled these people are and, in general, how dedicated they are to their task. It is also worth pointing out that often maintenance do get involved in emergen

That is making an argument that teens shouldn't interact since that generically describes many teen's lives at school. I don't know that we have good studies on 'dumb' social media vs weaponized social media compare

The impacts of social media on children (and adults for that matter) are becoming more clear by the day but a question, I think, is is it the format/function or is it the algorithm to drive the feed that is the issue? So, for instance,

It would be interesting to see inflation indexes based on different typical buyers, to include the ultra rich. Basically, inflation isn't uniform and impacts people differently. Of course that brings up how you actually measure the imp

Bummer. I have used them a lot when I was ripping my cds. Anonymity is a massive value of the web (at least the appearance of anonymity). I wonder if there is a way to have a central anonymous system that just relays trust, not identity. So

I hate to admit it but I failed the NPR real vs fake video quiz [1] and it is exactly because of this. There is so much fake noise out there that it is very hard to tell what is true. [1] https://www.npr.org/2025/11&#x2

I imagine this is where LLMs could really help actually. LLMs are natively surfing the web now so I suspect LLM descriptions of sites or even having them re-render a site in a more usable way is becoming much more possible.

I'm glad to see things like this get built. I hate to admit it but I rarely consider impaired usecases when building things. I wonder how technology is changing this usecase lately both on the user end and the design end. (I know, AI)

Anyone in the US military that has bought 'military grade' Bates shoes and pulled them out of a locker after a year just to see the soles disintegrate can likely tell you the value of 'military grade'.

Not the topic of the article, but security of opening anything up in my network is always super concerning. I really want a zero-advertise way to find and connect to my network. So, for instance, there could be a trusted server that I adver

When constraining an entire game being that close as an initial dart throw is pretty good I think. It is also good to use as a check on the plausibility of the author's algorithm. If they had found an encoding that was well below the c

But that is a totally different problem which requires far fewer bytes to represent. For that problem you are just considering of the valid pieces which made a move and what board that came from. Storing a single move is far cheaper than an

This is fun. Of course this problem is also a fun way to consider an upper bound on the total number of board states and therefore how hard it is to 'solve' chess compared to a game like checkers. Hitting the calculator 26 bytes w

Agreed. Long term economic health is always tied to long term social health. We should be, ultimately, trying to look at a broader index than some simplistic view of just money. It is a hard problem though to pin down an index for social he
