I was issued a Thinkpad at my last place. They're great and built to last, but you just can't compare them to Macs. The Thinkpad will weigh twice as much, it be about 3x the volume of a Macbook Pro (with the extended battery), the

Presumably it had something to do with D-day, but this morning I was woken to an air raid siren going off in my area (I live in the UK). For a moment I considered whether I should check the news in case it was somehow a real siren, but I fi

I always use Linux desktops. However, if looking for a laptop Macbooks are just so much better built and the M series have such superior battery life it would be insane to use anything else in my opinion.

I have tried to explain this to people so many times... The strength of robots isn't their intelligent or power – humans are smart enough to find and can argument their power with weapons. What we cannot compete with is their speed. Fi

It's even worse in Europe from what I can tell. The shift took me by surprise, but a decade or so a go I noticed people around me were becoming increasingly authoritarian and pro-surveillance. Today I'm in a very clear minority to

Same situation for me really. It wasn't the entire decision, but a large part of it was seeing people who live near an office being forced to return. I wasn't likely to impacted anytime soon given I lived no where near an office a

Please don't use React unless the websites you're building would benefit from a reactive JS framework. You're going to have to maintain dependencies, likely ruin your site's accessibility and end up writing code far more

I'm in exactly the same boat, and I 100% agree. The OWASP ModSec rules are insanely naive, and generally your only option when you run into false positives will be to disable the rule altogether. I think ideally you'd want to use

This is absurd. There are better ways to do that other than punishing victims... Do you think we should do similar for theft? Should it be illegal for a store assistant to hand over money to armed robbers, because theoretically if less peop

I do this. I think it's partly because of who I am as a problem solver, but also the way I decide if something is worth saying or doing based on whether I'm adding value. I don't think there's usually much (if any) value

The reason Elon is successful is because he doesn't give a crap about what you or half the country thinks. You can't have one without the other.

As always with these things it really depends on what you're trying to do and what your skill level / background is. Personally I find PHP + Laravel is great for throwing together a simple website. The amount functionality Laravel

I understand why some people might not weight the probability and risk of AGI as highly as others, but to deny the risk entirely, or to act as if it's ridiculous to be concerned about such things in my opinion is just an intellectually

I think you're idolizing perhaps. There's no doubt Ilya is highly respected in the field, but not to the same extent as Albert Einstein is in physics. Maybe with time, but certainly not today.

I've experienced this so profound changes in my cognitive ability in my own life, but interestingly they don't seem to show up in IQ tests I've taken. My IQ today in my mid 30s is about the same as what it was when I was 16.

European's weakness in my opinion is the size of the state. The state can only grow with private sector growth, but when 50% of all spending in your economy is done by the government and most people are employed either directly or indi
