So my MS research focused on P2P networks, and with the caveat that the area has been out of favor (and hence under-researched) for about 2 decades, I would say it would be extremely hard to build even decent quality search in a purely dece

One of my predictions for software in the AI age is that we will end up with nano-services. The thinking is this: 1. LLMs perform best with tight, focused context. 2. Encapsulating specific well-defined functionality into a single service,

But my point it is not an unjust application of the law, the law is specifically structured to treat certain behaviors as worse than others. IMO that is actually fair in theory : We do NOT want to punish people who casually pirate stuff

Hmm, not familiar with what's happening in Germany or its copyright laws, but I do recall coming across this piece of news, where OpenAI was indeed found guilty of infringement, so I don't think Big Tech is being treated different

> Not true. Copyright infringement is a civil infraction, but can escalate to a criminal infraction at high enough scale, but that's a judgment call. I don't think it's a judgment call, the level to escalate seems to be

A key aspect folks should understand about US Copyright Law is that it much more severely penalizes infringement with distributing, or an intent to distribute, unauthorized copies than to just consume privately. Distributing unauthorized

Oh for sure, if your physical activity is higher you need to eat commensurately more! What I meant is, for most of us with desk jobs and little physical activity, our bodies need surprisingly little food and this is what fasting reveals. Li

Wellllll, kind of... I've realized hunger is often just another habit because we're used to eating N meals a day, like the GP comment implies. I've done a quasi OMAD (1-meal a day) thing on-and-off for 3+ years now and don&#x

It might be due to a combination of a few things: 1. The compounding acceleration of tech has numbed us to the marvels that are happening around us. 2. Big Tech, and Capitalism in general, has been getting more and more extractive than inno

Same reason why the top ad on Google when you search for a brand is for the brand itself -- "brand bidding" is a thing, and if you don't bid on ads for your own brand, a competitor will. If Google can do it why not Amazon! I

Kind of yeah, but I think more than just the deluge of material it is the nature of that material: even before AI slop, social media has inundated us with short-form content via their algorithmic firehose. Our attention span is dwindling be

I dunno, not a huge fan of TL;DR (even though it definitely has its place for long-winded walls of text) -- I feel like TL;DR is a cause or a symptom or both of our dwindling attention spans. I think this inability to read anything longer t

While TFA itself makes sense I disagree with the title and the conclusion. I would not consider referencing working memory during thinking as “remembering” but as a part of thinking itself. Working memory is the RAM to the much larger but h

Actually, I would say trust is an intrinsic part of an engineer's job, because the job is to deliver something that can be trusted to do what it says on the tin. For software engineering, you're perfectly right that reading the

I haven't touched Go in over a decade (since before generics!) but I can see why this would be true. My theory is that LLMs absolutely love very tight, focused context. Go inherently restricts how many abstractions you can stuff into y
