There's a reason we don't have feudalist governments. It's a "solved" problem. The normies may have much less power, but it's never zero. Wealth isn't the only form of power. There's law/politics

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

I would say if there is a decline in society, the normies are wrong. And if there's steady improvement in quality of life, then the normie zeitgeist is correct. But there's always a delay in these things, at least a generation.

It ticks the boxes for bad science. I was hoping someone would call out Garry's statement as an anecdote as well rather than debating whether he said it. But I doubt there will be proper data either way. Whatever model is used in resea

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll say the same thing again in September, which will invalidate both of these sources.

I guess they linked germs to bad smells (e.g. miasma) and figured out good smells might counter them. It's a pity they hadn't invented essential oils at the time.

Getting your sales channel right is its own part of the work. LinkedIn is not the only platform. You can sell office SaaS on TikTok too. There's the ad platforms. There's funky stuff like Tumblr and Pinterest. Discord, Facebook gr

Writing. I've tried for years to build writing tools with AI. I think for the most part, it doesn't work well and they have become worse (more unnatural) since GPT-3, with the exception of GPT-4.5 and Gemini 1.5 Flash. There are b

For people whose schedules are full, it's almost mandatory to have a calendar block for lunch. I prefer 3 PM or 11 AM lunches honestly so I'm flexi; it's when the restaurants have more capacity, unless they just ended shifts.

Most people don't like working 9-5. My sweet spot is 4 AM. Half the people I work with prefer nights - it's cooler, better time to smoke, etc. Maybe it's just SE Asia where people get lazy during the day. Or maybe we just hav

There's two types of code, based off The Pragmatic Programmer. One is the prototype, you build it and discard it. You absolutely have to discard it, burn it. It's a search algorithm - you're searching for a business problem a

Disabling non-actionable alerts actually lowered the error rate in my experience, because people would start paying attention to the alerts. Even if they were being lazy, they'd be able to see a pattern after getting rid of the noise.

I assume it's part of the pay. You can't be a firefighter or a cop and then complain that there's night shifts. I've had nearly 4 years of it at a payment gateway and IIRC only one time was there something that had to be

I'm not sure what you mean by dev/depl log, but there's architectural decision records in there. There's spike docs, which look into how long something would take - some have useful decision research, but they're ge

JS was designed in a few days. And many years later, people made proposals to it and improved it. A few like TS built on top of it. Standards that are well designed end up like Java - still flawed and clunky. And built on top as well. MCP w

Interesting. We argue that Confluence was the best tool we have and has some of the best search. People would rather write in GDocs, but ironically, the search has been much worse.

Hackathons. Not a huge amount, only around $3000 so far, but it's a good excuse to push certain technology to their limits.

Exactly. I would have said the same 3 years ago, but these days, work hard, ship products, get laid off, and management pats themselves on the back for increasing productivity.

Nuclear deterrence means that a nation can counter while/after being nuked, and it has to demonstrate this capacity confidently enough to deter any country that would nuke them. It would be an amazing system. Cut the head off and up to

YT Music is a good algorithm for exploring music. You click a song and the playlist after that song is a mix of similar music and music you like to hear. There's also a button which lets you decide if you want to discover different mus

Cursor is not merely a wrapper. There's a lot of optimization going on under the hood. At the very least, it indexes the whole codebase and can search it. That's not including the agent stuff, MCP, context management, etc. Perplex

Kind of an edge case here, but I love making 1-bit palettes and then testing them on old Apple UIs. This is just perfect. I hope you can make the color editable :)

My parents did psychology and they always warned us about this. Bayesianism helps but isn't taught well enough in school. Basically, we fail to handle the false positive and false negatives into the calculation, and this happens a lot
