Some good arguments - it would have been much better if it was not LLM produced slop.

You need grid connected storage where you have (unpredictable) renewables. That doesn't negate the benefits of Nuclear baseload power. In an ideal mix, you need both, and also Gas for emergencies. One is not better than the other, they

Not even that. It is settling a bet on voting. But you are taking a bet on voting on the right side of the outcome. This is independent on the actual bet - this is outcome voting. You make very little money if you vote on correct outcome,

Also their use of AJAX and inline editing was revolutionary - probably created the whole industry around first Bootstrap, then jQuery. Man - spent so much time to emulate that light pastel yellow fade when you edited a title and saved it (l

Your question implies the answer. It's probably not a problem that's worth solving. The industry found the most cost optimal way of sizing stuff that works for most people at the desired price and the rest is either served through

It is fiction. Not meant to be a documentary. You have liberties as an artist to tell a compelling story - and boy did they do it.

I don't care when somebody doesn't like aesthetics or look and feel of a new theme. It is subjective. Giving people an option to turn it off is kind. But Liquid Glass is usability terror. Just bring up the onscreen controls when y

Just drop the liquid glass farce and you will save 5% battery life already.

polars people do - although I wouldn't call polars something that nobody uses.

Why do you say Amazon doesn't know what they are doing? I think among those mentioned, they are the best positioned alongside Apple in the grander schema of things. Also you say meta will never field a competitor to GPT - but they did

They achieve that by not generating the scene you see, but a lens warped version of 360 degree view. So you turning the other way doesn't delete what's happening / generated on your back side. However I expect it to breakdown

Why should Apple care about LLMs? They missed the boat on cloud, cryptocurrencies and on search engines. So what? It's not their business - they can just license a good offering and move on to what they do best : Products.

I am using Temporal tables in SQL Server right now - I agree it's a bit of best of both worlds; but they are also painful to manage. I believe there could be a better solution without sacrificing SQL tools.

Good analogy, double-entry book keeping, generalized. (Nothing specific to banking btw)

It is basic antitrust practice. If a company starts to control a vertical so much so that they start to exclude others, they get broken up into components and ordered to offer the basic infrastructure service to others. This is how it worke

Soft deletes in banking are just a Band-Aid to the much bigger problem of auditability. You may keep the original record by soft deleting it, but if you don't take care of amends, you will still lose auditability. The correct way is to

A quite good explanation of what copyright laws cover and should (and should not) cover is here by Cory Doctorow: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/...

I believe it is an Azure outage or some type of MS service - everything on Azure is down.

Hmm, can we make a MTG style card game with Assembly instructions? RISC is a faster deck with smaller but quicker cards, CISC has heavy hitters but warms up late etc. AVX-512 comes into game and vector arithmetics the bazinga out of the ene

This is good writing at its peak. I don't care about the subject matter, but reading it is a joy. The references, the writing style, the pace.. Love it.

Probably they could achieve the same with circular construction but without the seats.

It looks really nice - but never understood the seating. Who came up with that?

Counterpoint: Google is paying Apple $20b/year to keep themselves as the default search engine in iOS. Android's biggest competitor is iOS. They are now effectively funding their competition on a core product interface. I see this

There is a view that being a kindee is generosity, because you allow other people to express kindness (and feel good about themselves?).

Tangentially related, but I enjoyed reading "The Most Human Human" by Brian Christian - granted it's written in a pre-LLM world, it's still very much relevant. The book is following the annual Turing Test competition, in

Let's leave "liberal" definition aside. I agree it's not well defined - I only used, because you said "maximally liberal". A dilemma is a hard choice. A paradox is a principle that undermines itself when applie

Tolerance Paradox is not a "Tolerance Threshold" - it's a Paradox. You cannot be maximally liberal "up to Tolerance Paradox" - as soon as you are maximally liberal to any threshold, you are no longer liberal - hence

The discipline of writing for sharing knowledge is immense - not only for the sharing part, but to look at yourself (or your research) in the mirror with a critical eye and revise it multiple times. If you don't have that discipline, s
