I imagine it will be a mix of good and bad predictions because people have different opinions and there was a lot of discussion? But sure, someone should get an AI to do the research and see what comes up.

Apparently the current implementation is very inefficient by modern standards: https://bsky.app/profile/xeiaso.net/post/3muasair5uk2j Rather than using Anubis to give the client fake work, maybe the way to go

It depends why you’re reading it. I enjoy cleaning up messy source code, and now I have a power tool to do it.

Maybe we just disagree about what's fun? Some people like to build things by hand and other people enjoy working with power tools. I'm having a great time building personal web apps with exactly the features I want, and I also enj

I’m not going to go that far (you do you), but reading the source code seems like a great way to remain in touch with the implementation. On my hobby project, I do a lot of reading code, asking the AI pointed questions about how things work

I use Valibot instead, but it’s for similar reasons. The most common usages are validating JSON requests and reading JSON files.

Apparently in this case, T-Mobile caved and Google didn't: > The DHS also sought and obtained six months of phone records for Fort from T-Mobile, which included records for more than 10,000 calls and text messages. Fort was not noti

It does seem that way nowadays, but I wonder why more tech companies don't bring it to a different city, like Microsoft did in Redmond. The old tech companies did things like that but the newer companies mostly aren't for some rea

I don't doubt that there are very large communities of grifters, but to say that they are "the Internet" seems a bit much. If you see grifting as the central core of the Internet, maybe that's a problem with your filter

Makes sense financially, but I suspect that the reason this isn’t all that appealing politically is that ordinary people can’t get those jobs. “We have a few, very rich employees” doesn’t seem like much of a selling point. It’s another exam

You're not wrong, but from load-balancing perspective, if one of these companies moved to another city then probably both cities would be better off?

Search on datalog instead.

Carbon taxes are a tough sell, but I bet a carbon tax specifically on data centers would pass.

If stopped before construction, the organizations funding the data centers still have the investment funds and can build in a different location or, worst case, give the money back to investors. Assuming demand keeps up, owners of already-e

The usage quotas seem like a one- or two- quarter phenomenon at particular mismanaged organizations?

There are still active investors who decide which investments are good. The passive investors follow, for better or worse.

Now that we use coding agents, you don't want to store secrets anywhere in the same VM, because that makes them vulnerable to exfiltration. The best way is to access external services via a proxy that holds the secrets. exe.dev has a z

You can do a lot of central planning if you can convince investors to give you a large enough pile of money, but it still doesn't compare to what the US government can do. You're not going to fund social security that way.

They were not happy about it and loudly warned everyone it was coming, but instead of listening a lot of people said LoL MaRkEtInG.

Yes, also, the posts that are public appear to be all there is to people who don’t have access to private groups. Some people will copy that example and post in public too. A way around that is to use a pseudonym, but it requires care to no

People can use Bluesky without understanding any of this stuff. Their posts are stored in a separate pds automatically.

I think a lot of people prefer to post in obscurity. It’s somewhat similar to the “share with anyone who has access to the link” security model.

I think it’s safest to never run AI in your own machine. I only run it in Linux VM’s I created on exe.dev. Other advantages: the AI doesn’t stop working when I close the laptop lid. I also prefer running the AI in a browser tab to a termina

US investment markets are attractive to foreign investors for much the same reasons that they're attractive to US investors. As a result, much of the money that the US spends on imports gets invested in the US. You make that sound like

To put it another way: Google search works by making their own copy of the Internet. It's much smaller scale, but similarly, atproto makes downloading the entire social network relatively easy. Many ordinary techies have the resources

There's the core of a reasonable argument if you forget about using the word "consciousness." Consider playing a game where some players are human and others are implemented by AIs. You might want to model your opponents&#x27

Contrast with Bluesky, where the firehoses will give you an archive of everything, every post signed by the original account, for better or worse.

I'd like to read more about the game. Maybe after the new release?
