It should be physical keys and they should be the same on every platform. I have at least 20 keys on my desktop keyboard that I never use, it’s not like the real estate isn’t there. Many older non-technical people struggle with combination

Unexpected underdog argument. What is happening in reality is all companies are racing to (a) scrape, buy and collect as much as they can from others, both individuals and companies while (b) locking down their own data against everyone els

They all do it. Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram. Because it interferes with their business model. It was already bad, but now the conflict between business and the open web is reaching unprecedented levels, especially since the copyrig

This could fix my main gripe with The Matrix. ”Humans are used as batteries” always felt off, but it totally would make sense if the human brains have uniquely energy efficient pattern matching abilities that an emerging AI organism would h

Clothes (today) are fungible. Some products are, like prototype experiences. Those are so uncommon that developers who got to do green field coding were making their peers jealous. This is because most software lasts for a long time. So lon

From what I understand the ”killer app” initially was because of mobile spotty networks. TCP is interface (and IP) specific, so if you switch from WiFi to LTE the conn breaks (or worse, degrades/times out slowly). QUIC has a logical co

Yes, they are. Worse, I’ve seen them shrink down to nothing in the face of congestion with TCP traffic. If Quic is indeed the future protocol, it’s a good thing to move it into the kernel IMO. It’s just madness to provide these massive user

Function body, so no don’t put it in your loop. Just break it out to a helper fn if needed. This isn’t a big problem in practice.

Right, of course. But there's a difference in moral code on: who is the rightful owner of the surplus generated, and how should it be redistributed. a) private ownership, even charity is directly immoral (Ayn Rand) b) private ownership

It seems fundamental, because it’s isomorphic to the hallucination problem which is nowhere near solved. Basically, LLMs have no meta-cognition, no confidence in their output, and no sense that they’re on ”thin ice”. There’s no difference b
