I think I've cracked this [1]. A lot of the popular frameworks just copy each other by using funky attributes, templating hacks, and compilers. You don't need that (yes, they have certain positives and negatives but you don't

Airbnb lost me a few months back. My wife and I eloped and had a weekend getaway planned to celebrate. The place was out in the woods down back roads, had little to no lights (we got there at night), a narrow, unmaintained gravel driveway w

Sure. I spent a lot of time in the hospital receiving treatment. Sometimes it was a few days, sometimes it was a month. My parents were working and so while I'd see them in the morning and evenings, most days I was on my own w/ th

Perhaps a bit taboo, but I always liked Kevin Spacey's take on this: "If you’ve done well, it’s your obligation to spend a good portion of your time sending the elevator back down." Help others in the same way they helped you

I'd say they're correct from the consumer POV. In the context of a phone that's consumed mostly by non-technical people, AI in its current form is at best a better Google that occasionally fabricates the truth (or a silly ima

Sure, but those millions of servers and devices are not directly connected (nor can be by the AI). The plot in the movie I shared necessitated the AI being able to turn any computer into extra compute for itself—what's necessary for a

IMO this is dead on. AI is a hell of a scapegoat for companies that want to save face and pretend that their success wasn't because of cheap money being pumped into them. And in a world addicted to status games, that's a gift from

I'd argue this is a byproduct of what's shown in the chart where productivity has continued to increase since the 1970s, but wages have remained flat [1]. And that is a side-effect of the money itself being screwed up (e.g., the
