This link would better serve you and the community as a top-level post. I guess you did share it 2 years ago, though it looks like commenting is now closed. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26620690 Share it again! The

Points I would raise, from the article: If Kaczynski did raise valid points, he says, it is because he took them from others, including the French sociologist Jacques Ellul, whose 1954 text, The Technological Society, electrified the bo

A little discussion from earlier, 2018, post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17270625 I might try this, to see if it immediately solves a problem of helping think through interfaces and workflows. Looks promising, but

It's worth mentioning https://YUNoHost.org . I've done plenty of manual self-hosting. I explored sandstorm for a year or two in the mid 2010s. It worked as promised, but the complexity of integrations, fraying, showed.

Excellent clarification. I suspect this is at a natural Schelling point: don't say much; because more answers would only lead to more questions. The trade secret aspect includes that lineage. It's an edge. Even in his post, only

Brave's encroachments can be turned off. On a new install, I disable the search bar Rewards icon, extensions area Wallet, and new tab page Sponsored Images, News, and Cards. (And maybe others still). Each of these requires active engag

Look for local meetups, that's where you can find people who want to engage more broadly. Appropriate spaces may host these, or you may be able to find out about good hangouts from other meetup attendees. In hackerspaces, I find that s

It's good to talk about. Always be shipping. Find small things to ship, features to celebrate. This is the advice given for startups, especially looking for product-market fit. Can't get feedback if you don't ship. Ca

Right now, the best I know of would be to get a transcript with whisper, and grep that. Do you know of better ways? Searching for a waveform for certain words is not quite something that anyone's done yet, to my knowledge.

Excellent links, thank you! I can imagine the benefit of having this as a reference, instead of needing to have meetings across departments and levels to negotiate who's responsible for what, in an open-ended way. Thanks to NIST for pr

These control feedback loops (sentient or not, it does not matter) which can outperform us (because we keep pushing until they can), or can self-improve, can make a mockery of our attempts to stop them. --- The concern is about Artificial S

IggleSniggle expresses it well. As ugly as the AppleScript expressions are, they force you to write in a way that's sympathetic to the API, so, in addition to returning errors at all in more cases, they're easier to diagnose or mi

Ok, given your university background in CS, it sounds like you have a good base of understanding. I think there are many narrow verticals, but I think you're through the base of understanding. I think people can answer specific questio

OP, to add on to keeptrying, to the extent that you can afford to, and feel up to it, I recommend showing some work in public. Write something about your journey and your learning, every week, either on LinkedIn, on dev.to, or on a personal
