Chris Wilson is the creator of Path of Exile, and recently left Grinding Gear Games to start-up a new ARPG(?) game studio.

Enron was also "growing" a lot when it was in full "paper tiger" mode.

Doesn't seem sustainable civilizationally, either, if the young and poor are propping up the old and rich, rather than older generations nurturing the youth.

That's not a very "humble" opinion, and it's far from the facts.

The problem with "enshittification" of this sort is that the shitty solution doesn't just go away. It lingers and aggressively defends its territory, possibly in unfair ways. There are network effects. These zombie businesses

There was a fleeting moment where the Internet was the "Wild West" but we are long past that. The GP's idiom is about as practical as "don't be a citizen of any state".

If the syntax is great (I agree it doesn't seem bad at first glance) then the website attempting to sell the language should quickly demonstrate that syntax and capabilities. This is what the argument was about. "Can we see the sy

I think the goal is explicitly not to go all-in on normal web development, to maintain some opportunity to monetize. D3.js started as/still is just a (collection of) JS libraries. Then Observable came along, and while it is a nice to

It's absolutely critical context in a rhetorical environment where "antisemitism" has been drained of meaning. Not sure where your hostile reaction is coming from.

My OP is more about promoting understanding of underlying VM technologies. Proxmox adds value, but also complexity of its own abstractions. QEMU and libvirt don't have salespeople trolling the internet to promote their use, so there is

Do you really think people are using Proxmox MCP servers to administer mission-critical distributed computing systems that leverage SDN and clustered storage, rather than small VM labs? Because that was not my assumption.

Kubernetes also has off-the-shelf distros that are more apples-to-apples with Proxmox VE. Let's not pretend that Proxmox or any of these are silver bullets that kill the (inherent) complexity demon. Anything touching SDN or clustered s

The "bitter lesson" is from a paradigm where high quality data seemed infinite, and so we just need more and more compute to gobble up the data.

by pphysch 1y ago
To be fair, Proxmox is essentially a UX wrapper around QEMU/KVM, which is free software and the true kernel of value. If you are going the MCP route I wonder if a direct QEMU or libvirt MCP server would be much more powerful and precis

I think if the US had an intelligence strategy priotized around protecting the homeland rather than interfering in distant lands, it is highly unlikely that 9/11 would have succeeded. Keep in mind 9/11 was a godsend for the latter

Surely there's an untapped market for infosec liability insurance. Pay the CYA bill, let the engineers build/choose something that actually works. Win-win.

That's akin to saying it's okay to remove Knights, or castling, or en passant from chess because they have a complicated movement mechanic that the AI can't handle as well. Hero drafting and strategy is a major aspect of comp
