These kinds of "clients" have always been around. If they want to tell me how long they think it should take, my answer has always been that they should do it themselves. If they say something like, "it shouldn't take to

This is a great question and the data points make a solid case. I've been a "10xer" for 25 years. I've considered coding agents bullshit since my first encounter with Copilot. I work by having a clear mental map of every

I've loved my Boox Nova C color for a few years... but the ability to run Android apps including paint and drawing apps is the real showstopper. I'd love to try this tech for the paper feel but I really like the Boox interface, in

Okay, but (1) we don't need to simulate physics faster than physics to make accurate-enough predictions to fly a plane, in our heads, or build a plane on paper, or to model flight in code. (2) If that's only because we've cle

I'm very sympathetic to both the cash-as-privacy and cash-as-fair-access (for unbanked people, to goods and services) arguments, and I won't support any business that doesn't take cash. Credit cards are a snare for the chroni

This makes me think something else, though. Once we were able to reason about the physics behind the way things can move, we invented wheels. From there it's a few thousand years to steam engines and a couple hundred more years to jet

It's a race against time on that one. I'm not sure how I'll feel about it if most new indie films written and rendered via AI. On the other hand, maybe there'll be a rebellion against that, too. Regardless of who's

Gambling against the house is not in itself a scam as long as the games aren't rigged and the odds and payouts are as advertised. A game with negative EV is not a scam if it's entered into knowingly by a player. For my money, game

On an even more basic level, throwing data at an LLM and telling people you "built an AI" pretty much blows any chance of anyone taking the results seriously.

There should be some sort of, like, trusted bureau that gives a woo-level ranking to these things. Massage therapy boards and such are too busy unsuccessfully rooting out human trafficking on the other side of the self-help spectrum. As an

Were those videos? No. Did they depict sex acts? No. It's qualitatively different. I was raised in an extremely liberal household full of Playboy mags, looking at photos of naked women since I was 5 years old. The violence of what is t

I don't think your comment should be downvoted. Children viewing porn is a legitimate problem. The other problem is that adults should not be forced to share their identity to view content - particularly that which might be used to bla

This too. All else being equal, if you doubled the price per flight and halved the number of passengers you crammed on a plane, you'd have less than half as many people flying and a lot fewer flights, hence a lot less pollution. My pro

In theory, yes, you could enforce better conduct (although this might harm the bottom line). But I also think that when you place people in cramped conditions, they inherently begin to behave more antisocially and become less amicable. For
