Have you seen what happens to people who live in zero gravity for long periods of time? It doesn't sound fun. I do get the appeal of wanting to experience it for a short period of time, though. I would also say that scuba diving is pro

How is living in space meaningfully different from living in a submersible in the ocean (apart from the view)? You would think we would get really good at the latter before going after the former, and yet I see no interest from people wanti

How do we know the entire article isn't AI-generated? There are no external links or references. Could this all be made up blog spam / AI slop?

How do you get libertarians mixed in there? Libertarians want freedom from government, not the consolidation of power nor levy of new taxes (which tariffs are). Apart from downsizing select government organizations, what the current adminis

This is the true litmus test IMO. If LLMs are so great and make everyone so productive, then where are the results? Where are all of the amazing products being released that otherwise would have required 10x the investment? Shouldn't t

If this is true, then shouldn't we expect an economic "bump" from NN/LLMs/AI as they are today? I have not noticed companies or colleagues 10x'ing (hell, or even 1.5x'ing) their productivity from these too

Mozilla really is in a bad spot if advertising, AI, and fundraising are the only innovative ideas their leadership could come up with. I will begrudgingly still use Firefox as my daily driver, but the mismanagement being shown is really app

Yes, Dwarkesh does speak quite fast, though I think much of it is nervousness and excitement. He spoke even faster in his first few interviews, but learned to tone it down. Bryan Caplan even mentioned it to him in one of his interviews. I w

The issue in Houston has nothing to do with ERCOT. It has more to do with Centerpoint, who is the electricity provider for the city and responsible for maintaining lines. The power is there, but it can't reach homes due to the number o

100% agreed. His earlier conversations before the recent AI boom were pretty great, going deep into a wide range of topics. Since then, it's taken a sharp nose-dive into AGI navel gazing. He's clearly drank too much of the kool-ai

How do you suggest they begin to address it? I have reached the point where I believe it is a fundamental flaw in _all_ touch-screen interfaces. I would certainly love to see better alternatives.

If you think ServiceNow is awful, then you clearly haven't used the alternatives. Believe it or not, there are users (not buyers) that _love_ ServiceNow for what it can do. Usually because what came before was a mixture of manual proce

Thanks for the great work on Helm! Ugly but functional is a great description of the Go templating syntax, and it is definitely my least-favorite thing in Helm. Do you have links or anything else you can share on the Lua specification work?

All good points, thank you. What's the limit on language support? Is it theoretically possible to support any language/runtime? Or does it come down to the protocol (HTTP, gRPC, etc) being used by the communicating processes?

100%. Context propagation is _the_ key to distributed tracing, otherwise you're only seeing one side of every transaction. I was hoping odigos was language/runtime-agnostic since it's eBPF-based, but I see it's mentioned

Honestly someone should just fork the InfluxDB v1.x line and focus on stability and performance. The pre-1.0 to 1.0 release was painful, but what's there now is pretty solid as well as MIT licensed. It blows my mind that they still hav
