I think our recent 0 interest rate environment resulted in many companies receiving investments that were unlikely if capital markets weren't overflowing with cash.

Then you are slow to see the change. Communities are slowly going behind signup walls.

I think you are misreading the situation. It’s not enough to have open standards if the big guys just consume that data into their closed platforms. The author argues they are too powerful. We had open standards and big tech embraced and th

I agree. But what happens when the project finishes and now any remaining work has lower priority/roi than other projects? Is there any guidance for that?

Customers have this expectation because VCs paid for growth. Then for another decade or so Google continued to give it away. Is it any wonder many people have a clear misunderstanding of the costs of software?

Great point. But it could be easily solved with something like: “Call the number on the back of your credit card. Push *5 and when prompted enter your credit card number and you will be immediately connected back to my line”

What is lost in this discussion is that now my browser, software on my machine, using my resources is the agent that is acting against my own interests.

I'm not joking. This is an area that AI would answer well. It's an issue that's been around for decades and is frequently written about by reputable sources. Like Wikipedia, it's probably a good start for someone like th

That's fair. Then don't read the search result from the economist. Read the result from the Census, or the Forbes article, or HuffPo if you don't like their stance. My point is simply that your question is valid, but has been

I can only assume you don’t actually want your question answered. Because if you did want an answer you could have asked an ai or searched as there is plenty written on the topic. I see this pattern all over the place. Often with conservati

The US military invading foreign countries and exerting its dominance globally has nothing to do with protecting your rights as citizens.

I logged in for the first time in years hoping to get some real-time information on nearby forest fires. Wow. What a dumpster fire the platform has become. I would have taken your comment as hyperbole had I not just signed into their platfo

Source? There are teaching methods possible in a small class that just aren’t doable in a large class.

It’s possible they were taking notes on the second monitor. Many interview coaches recommend taking notes during the interview to capture the response, largely verbatim, so that candidates can be fairly compared afterwards.

I can't imagine this holding up in court. By analogy, it sounds like I give you the right to walk across a line, but I also have the right to shoot anyone that crosses the line. This has the net effect that you effectively are not allo

It would seem then that this year is yet another early warning sign. Perhaps we got lucky to get a glimpse of what is coming and in a sane world, this would motivate us to finally take real and significant action. Unfortunately, the last fe

If you read the article the author points out why it's hard to learn. The concept is easy, but when teaching the concepts we don't include all the details of the modern internet. As an example what are the rules that your browser

I agree but wonder if JVM optimizations could do away with the need to complicate the programmer experience.

I think this is just to catch the potential loophole of a roommate trying it out and blogging about their experience. If that happens then this clause means you are in contract breach.

You are correct. There was a time when companies ran projects to replace their mainframes. They all largely failed. The trend now is to integrate around the mainframe. Build new functionality on modern systems and leverage the mainframe whe

They don’t have lock in yet. They have an advantage in their LLM. But competition is racing and are improving their LLMs fast.

Oh that argument from cons really gets me enraged. As a comparison to show their inconsistent reasons oh conservatives are proud of Canada’s contribution to the world wars, you never hear conservatives say “we only contributed 1.5% to the w

I’m so tired of these conservative freedom arguments. Somehow on one side it’s always the freedom to consume, like the freedom to own a 5,000sq ft home, or an oversized SUV. Conservative freedoms never seem to be about my freedom to enjoy l

> isn't it still telling that usage is falling? No. Every tech company at the moment is scrambling to build LLMs into their product. That's where the real value is going to be.

The reality is we all would love an AI that improves on its own. Look at all those chatgpt examples that were shared because it got something wrong. If only we could make gpt learn then it would only get it wrong once that would make it s

Let's see, you don't want people to be alarmist on events that could remap the world as we know it? Okay, if we aren't alarmist then governments won't take action. It sounds like there is no way to win with people like y

The wild fires represent a massive positive feedback loop. The fires are releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, that I believe effectively doubled Canada’s emissions for this year.
