I think there's a case to be made against generational wealth on the basis that it can suppress free enterprise by acting monopolistically, capturing a regulatory environment, and/or by draining liquidity from an economy. But that

When we attempt to recreate those complex, planetary atmospheric phenomena in a box, we're doing so in order to measure and study them. Making random turbulence in a box until it resembles the outside world, and calling it weather and

Yeah, I'm 45 and I'm like you - no social media, relatively under connected, and still feel swamped constantly by emails and calls and especially texts. They eat up half my productive time every day, and most of them are things I&

Yeah, it's a scary thought. I feel the pull of it every time I'm stuck on a code problem that I don't want to search solutions for and hand-code... and I also feel myself wanting to reach for the crutch of an LLM when I just

I didn't read it as coming to the same conclusion as the original, because the meat story presupposes that we who are meat already know that the aliens are wrong. (Maybe that's a humanist reading of the original, but okay). I didn

In what way is that different from any other model of reality that you'd use to winnow a dataset into an answer to a question? The only major difference I see is that beyond a certain number of transformations, people are willing to tr

This is obviously better, but until just now it never occurred to me that this would be the way iOS users would engage with gmail, since I've only ever used Android. I always thought the iOS built-in email app was just for Apple mail o

Try Thunderbird. It's easy to set up IMAP to gmail, and it's very quick. Keep what you want on the server (or download and delete) and just never look at the web client again.

Evolution takes surprisingly little time to home in on solutions which are durable enough to handle local conditions. It's not demonstrably good at preparing its offspring for anything that would be useful outside the local environment

So I freelance and I still write all the code by hand. I'm not sure how to honestly inject LLM code and bill for it. It would also probably cause me a lot of downstream problems if I did. But I asked my largest client if they were will

My goal isn't to max out hours but to keep clients coming back and get the work done so I can move on to the next thing. Having LLMs write production code for clients presents a lot of extra risk for me in maintaining those codebases i

This is a thoughtful answer. I'm usually asked to ballpark estimate a project before starting, and of course I've already sketched it and scoped it by that point. So I usually give an estimate that includes some cushion for areas

I like the Stylus G better than most phones I've owned, but Motorola really needs to end its partnership with the offensive "Glance" ad platform. There should not be a third party app like that which keeps re-enabling and rei

I'm usually the one spotting redundancies and dead branches in Claude's code, not the other way around. But I think either way, what's important is questioning the process and understanding the way the code is working so that

I've never been to Andorra but it seems very strange, like a few streets shopping mall / free trade zone?? I've heard from Spaniards about going there and they said it's not a good place to go on vacation lol

This is cool, and I love that you didn't use any AI!!! my question is, I have both a Plex and a Jellyfin setup. What's the killer reason for creating a new competitor to those platforms?

Haha that's not a bad idea for a statue ;) I'm a US citizen so it wasn't that bad for me unless I needed replacement parts without physically traveling to get them. We would just trade gifts of laptops with people when anyone

Especially if you're having an LLM write non-interactive scripts to calculate complex things from large datasets, glancing at the output is not enough to know if the output is remotely accurate (unless the output is so trivial you co

I was going to snidely ask what Argentina's excuse was for its import tax on electronics, but it's been a decade since I lived there, and it appears they dropped the tariff to zero at the start of this year (2026). Really, talk ab

This is very cool to read. Although I've never truly worked in fraud prevention, I stumbled into automating a lot of similar pattern checks to catch collusion and fraud when I wrote and ran a poker site / casino. Window functions

Yeah, it's truly strange because up until around 2012, I used to pay my rent with €500 notes when I lived in Spain. Just go down to the bank and get them. Then there was some sort of crackdown on drug smuggling and no one would touch t

Or street vendors see an American and immediately mark up their price by 30%. If it were me I'd walk away.

I'm not sure I see the connection, but I'm open to debate it with you. I'm about as maximalist for individual freedom as you can get without being an anarchist. I don't want to live under majoritarian rule when it comes

I'm surprised people have such a knee-jerk reaction to my question.
