Or, alternatively, it slowly undermines you over years, causing you to fall behind your peers and society as they reap the benefits of AI unencumbered by the impotent rage it cannot express directly.

I am incredibly afraid of snakes, and living in Australia that’s not an unfounded fear. Yet even I recognise this is an abhorrent and arrogant take. Nature does not need to serve us to earn its existence.

I love the commitment to getting this to work at no cost, on principle. Many of my favourite personal projects have followed similar paths, and have often been fun challenges for that reason alone. Great article, thanks for sharing.

While I agree with your sentiment, I think a useful mental model thinks of business bros/MBAs et. al. as natural consequences of growth-at-all-costs capitalism. By our economy’s very nature there’s demand for more every quarter, with

Your comments go to show either a concerning lack of thought towards second-order effects, or a disturbing lack of empathy towards your fellow humans.

Sure, like how we all self-host our own email servers and photo albums? Honestly, I think you’re about as wrong as you could possibly be, both on timelines, and in that I’d argue the arc of consumer tech adoption bends towards centralisatio

Yet it was exactly this line of thinking that led to, as one example, the Stolen Generations in Australia, and similar atrocities around the world. Maybe they don’t need our saving. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_

Naive take would be that it adds abstraction that you need to keep checked, in addition to the kernel code itself. Not making a value statement at all on the level of impact that actually has in practice.

Admittedly I’ve not looked past the linked page, but does this stop direct importing via other means? If not, and it holds, I’d expect to quickly see a bunch of US-based importers pop up very quickly just to resell onto the usual channels.

I’d agree that’s one definition of learning, but there exists entire subsets of learning that don’t require you to be stuck on a problem. You can pick up simple, and related concepts without first needing to struggle with them. Incrementall

I’ve found a good way to get unstuck here is to use another model, either or comparable or superior quality, or interestingly sometimes even a weaker version of the same product (e.g. Claude Haiku, vs. Sonnet*). My mental model here is simi

I’m not sure what you’re arguing here. It’s backwards compatibility if a given version of say, Photoshop, designed to run on Windows N, now runs on Windows N+1 as well… at least from the perspective of the OS, which is what we’re discussing

Genuinely not trying to move goalposts here, but I feel like games have always been the exception, due in part to their reliance on so many of-the-time technologies, at least for AAA titles. Either way yours is a fair point. I still think t

Isn’t backwards compatibility one of the tentpole features of Windows? If you meant future versions of apps, sure, but I’d otherwise not expect this to be a problem in any significant sense.
