We unfortunately do live in a post-post privacy world now: so LLMs (and personal assistants based on them) with higher-than GPT-4 levels of quality that are so efficient to train and use that we can target the next generation of state-of-th

An increasingly good question to ask oneself these days: how could this be done without direct usage of LLMs / without ML even? Then as a second step ask yourself how potential assistance from generative tools and perhaps ML could i

I always like to point out to fellow devs that there are a lot of Bad Companies out there. It’s not an easy task to find a good one. I haven’t needed to work from some remote open space office since March 2020. Though since Covid cases ca

Lifelong "tech head" yet I've slowly come to the conclusion that we've increasingly reached the point where smartphone usage is "barely/rarely" OK for adults let alone for under 18 year olds.

They also lag on the dataplane side do they not? AFAIR nvidia bought the main (remaining?) infiniband supplier and seamlessly integrated it with all their data center offerings? Cue Jensen Huang "the data center is the computer"?

Somewhat related: did Power arch really reach it’s “EOL” by now? IIRC IBM was still doing something with it at least? Anyone in the know? > So amd64 isn't as good as arm64, riscv64, mips64, powerpc, or powerpc64.

Geographical differences certainly ring true but I think it’s a bit of a generational thing as well?

Also there can be so much elitism, "old boys networks" and general arbitrariness under veneers of "scientific objectivity".

> Where many modernists greeted the Great War as a moment of disenchantment and disillusionment, a young Tolkien, who fought in it, took it as a spur to a mission of re-enchantment for a world desperately in need of myth. The anti-war se

Exactly; almost no skin in the game here . What are lawsuits and fines to someone who buys 40B companies out of boredom / like we comment on HN. Responsibility and repercussions must become much clearer and more sharply felt to any so

Lack of skin in the game is evident, especially with institutions. Whether it's Tesla or the government, responsibility is diffused. True accountability should hone in on the “natural person”. This needs to change.

Aside from questioning self driving cars and Tesla’s misleading marketing stories in particular; “you don’t even have skin in the game anymore” (so who still has then?) Why - in this highly safety critical domain - is there ever anything cl

I might be taking this as the final cue to archive my own history with the service. Wanted to do that for a long time already.

We need to do something more productive and synergistic than that... But you are right with every shift in biodiversity there are consequences for food chains, etc. No such thing as a "distant event" - it's not just about (ma

It's both rotten and awesome though. I'm sure we could collectively still pull this off somehow. Defeatist or dystopian mindsets won't get us anywhere. In a way the current trend of "let's keep everything as it was,

I distinctly recall the shock waves when the Bush administration sidestepped the Kyoto climate agreement [1]. In 2001, US stance on the Kyoto Protocol held sway, and its ratification might have supercharged global climate efforts / gre

The movie "don't look up" was very prescient in a way. I can see denial and unfounded optimism everywhere, including myself. As long as we keep falling for the illusion of continually being able to always "buy ourselves

We just saw them for the first time with our own eyes at the Montreal biodome. Absolutely spectacular beings, hard for me to put in words how special they are.

Fan of the series and general “infinity engine” era, but was somewhat “worried” it would be less fun than Larian’s last great game (Divinity Original Sin 2). I was glad to learn it’s likely as silly (good!) and enjoyed dipping into twitch t

I don’t know, we might be closer to quality of service parity than we think. Even without taking into account “costs” of blatant privacy disregard / violation, data theft, potential industrial espionage, etc. If the tools continue to g

I feel as if 2023 could become the inflection point where we will finally start investing in our own infrastructure again. Video calls for example are really a commodity service to be set up at this point.

I’m not the biggest slack fan but I won’t join any further personal zoom meetings going forward; will switch to slack “huddles” at the workplace instead.
