It reminds me of De Chirico and Pittura Metafisica which was a small art movement in Italy just before WWI. I think that the backrooms are a kind of reaction to the total corporatization of american life. Just like how Pittura Metafisica wa

At what point do we stop and admit that paper books are superior in all cases. It's like social media ban for children. If you stop and think about it there is nothing special about children, it's terrible for everyone.

You can host a website on any rackmount server for pennies compared to AWS. But people still use AWS. The market for local models is always gonna be a small niche, primarily for the paranoid.

I think this narrative is kinda trueish but I still dislike it because it masks the real problem. Those property rights and review processes don't actually get us any benefit, they just allow a small number of people to grift the state

Every now and then when I'm reading something, the writer will use a turn of phrase, a specific word, a metaphor, etc, that is unusually clever, or allows me to see the concept in some obtuse light. Or even, they are just able to choos

perhaps we can give the AI a bit of money, make it the customer, then we can all safely get off the computer and go outside :)

This is incredibly misleading. It's not like there's a bunch of metallic sodium sitting in the battery waiting to react. It's a lot closer to a solid solution. Do you have a personal injury lawyer on speed dial for your table

Over the last couple of years I've realized how shitty and tiring it is to do anything at all on the computer. Reading something like Reddit was tiring before, because of spam, submarine advertising, etc. But it was still worth it beca

The best solution would be competition. But go ahead try to compete, you will be crushed.

Isn't this an artifact of the demand side and not the supply side? Yes, apple shipped fewer laptops than dell in 2025. That's because Apple laptops started at $1100 in 2025. They won't have a problem securing the chips for Ma

Because for every increase in efficiency that you get on the phone, you get on the datacenter too. (and likely on the modem as well). The gap will always be there. If the silicon gets efficient enough to compute a question/response on

Models on the phone is never going to make sense. If you're loading gigabytes of model weights into memory, you're also pushing gigabytes through the compute for inference. No matter how you slice it, no matter how dense you make

The money was what did it, not the AI. If we were all just tinkering with the AI all day long this stuff would still be fun. Money sucking the joy out of things, a tale as old as time.

That could work really well, or it could fail in a humiliating public way and totally confirm+legitimize that regime's paranoia. Huge downsides.

Nope. Nobody is physically capable of noticing the difference. That doesn't stop people from claiming they can, though!

One should look at the real activity of the economy to understand it -- not at the flow of money. A good economy is one where there is lots of value for the consumers. How does value flow to consumers? Through a price signal. A price signal

Capital must flow, period. Right now it's accumulating into a very small group of actors and becoming concentrated. There's no way to have a good economy, period, with the amount of consolidation across every sector. The only thin

I really appreciate that the author took the time and spent the effort to read bourdieu. Many years ago I tried to read it and flunked out. He is one of the worst writers ever to set pen to paper. Big mystery finally solved for me.

What's so wild (and a little disheartening) is that the omnipod is a disposable device. Use it for several days, and throw it out. This is an extreme corner of quality/cost/reliability optimization. The delivery mechanism has
