I really, really, really hope this guy gets treated like very else under similar circumstances. Top execs are totally used to be able to buy their way out of problems with company money without any personal repercussions other than maybe a

I often wish Word from around 2000 back. Back then the software was straightforward and did what it was supposed to do without much fuzz. And the speed on modern hardware would be crazy. The latest Word version does all kinds of weird stuff

I think it will be both. Raising prices for some goods because of tariffs (and adding some percent for good measure and profit) while also discontinuing others. It may go like the car market where cheaper options are slowly being phased ou

If anything it will be very short term. Nobody knows where this is going so it would be suicidal for small businesses to scale up. Large companies have the reserves but little guys don’t. I am very worried that this will lead to another dyi

LLM is already very useful for a lot of tasks. NFT and most other crypto has never been useful for anything other than speculation.

I think this will be fixed by having LLM trained not on the whole internet but on well curated content. To me this feels like the internet in maybe 1993. You see the potential and it’s useful. But a lot of work and experimentation has to be

A business cofounder who actually goes out selling and puts in the same effort and time the tech people do is worth a lot. Unfortunately not many business guys are like that. It seems that they get taught in business school that they are th

As far as permissions go, phones should have a log for when the permissions are actually used and how often.

There is a very fine line between all of these. When you look at famous people like Jobs, Zuckerberg, Musk or Gates they have all these attributes. Another example would be Michael Jordan in basketball or Michael Schumacher in racing.

One example: - A small business can live very well on delivering a product that makes a few hundred thousand dollar profit. Large companies can't be bothered with such small numbers so they don't even try.

Authoritarians often allow for strong science and engineering skills within an approved range. The Nazis had excellent engineering and so did the Soviet Union in some areas.

I think there are two problems: - How can you fight from the inside against people who can get you fired at will? I think it's more effective to fight from the outside. - Science requires a lot of honesty, trust and assumes people gene

Being allowed to focus seems to be a privilege these days. When I started in the 90s I could work on something for weeks without much interruption. These days there is almost always some scrum master, project manager or random other manager
