Eh, there's a lot of issues with the cogito, in that the statement Descarte arrives at is nowhere near as fundamental as he seems to think it is. It presumes an "I", subject of language, capable of evaluating its own thought,

In those constrained circumstances, what I want most is a high level explainer of what the system is supposed to do, how it does it, and any relevant background information on why it does its thing in this particular way. "this service

Just a thought : games have the advantage of being constrained by a particular purpose and design, while enterprise architectures are more free to (d)evolve into a sprawling, incoherent mess of systems. Can you imagine anyone at a game com

We may be at the point where we have to choose between the freedom to fly and the freedom to live on an inhabitable planet. Generations from now, people will, if there are any left, look back on these bourgeois luxuries as a kind of grotesq

How big is your hard drive? How about on your phone? I guess there's also the problem of how to let a new joiner view previous messages. Can that be done with e2e encryption?

Citation? Also, why an "uncomfortable" truth? Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I suspect there's an axe being ground here.

Reading the readme, it's very refreshing to see a project be rooted in a real, material analysis of the situation, the various subject groups, and the interests involved. Makes a big change from the usual idealist piffle. I wish these

This assumes that bourgeois nostrums such as property rights still exist in a post-agi world. The whole point of the singularity is that it changes _everything_ and we have no idea what's on the other side of it. Why would the New Mind

Which has to stand as a damning indictment of the one-service-per-team model, surely? Something so inflexible can't survive contact with reality (for very long). At work we run 20-something microservices with a team of 14 engineers, an
