My best bit of advice for any programmer at any level: "Don't make stuff more complicated than it has to be!" Software is complicated. Large, feature rich software is even more complicated. That's hard enough to manage a

I think it’s multi causal: - lack of social norms and established best practices around courtship. (Man making the first move, how to start the conversation etc.) - a lot of communication happens publicly and has a permanent record - so mis

I really disagree. On-Premise software is frequently bought by large customers with significant resources - including a competent ops team. Yes, there may be some initial handholding, but once things are up and running, there is little supp

I think that's actually exactly right. On-Premise might arguably be a wrong name - but for most customers it just means "software that you can run yourself in an environment that you control". And that environment is most oft

It's a very cool project. But, you'd hugely improve WebGL's line rendering quality by setting antialias: true in your Renderer's initialisation ( https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/renderers&#

But Cathedrals still had central planning, blueprints, ropes stuck in the ground to outline what should be built. Thermites on the other hand use a process called "Stigmergy" in which work allocation and building structures emerge

I'll take the "PR Company" thing as a compliment. But no, afraid not. I'm one of the two founders and I wrote this one - sorry if it came across as click-baity, but I just wanted to outline the basic, long term idea that

Yeah - I've been toying with a similar approach in my banking days. Basically, we've used "Genetic Programming" (very pompous term) to optimize order routing to minimize slippage (the difference between the expected pric

Of course - societies are heterogeneous - there's always exceptional people that could be a prove to others that change is indeed possible. I think, however, that fighting poverty is a numbers game. In a society that values entrepreneu

Not sure there is anything that just "can't be improved" no matter what. Of course, things can be incredibly hard - but even in the poorest regions under the most extrusive of governments, there are ways to carve out niches.

This article makes such a crucial point. There are many entrepreneurs and other successful people that set out to do good in the world. And that's laudable and to be encouraged. But unfortunately, they project their own mindset onto ot

I'm surprised that this is something that needs to be said with caution. Does anybody want to live in a world where individual government institutions selectively shun private citizens or companies? A world where - rather than in a cou

I feel there's merit to that idea. Basically, in the current regulatory environment in the US under Lina Khan, an outright acquisition by Microsoft would have been met with significant resistance. Especially since AI has just been decl

I feel many people are more interesting in their 30s when they are still full of dreams and idealism than in their 50s after two marriages, a mortgage and a lot of hairloss.

Maybe - though I think it's more of a cornered resource. You have specialized knowledge that attracts specialized people which create more specialized knowledge. Creates a sorta feedback loop.

I'm aware, but I'd argue that in addition to the competitive moats described by Hamilton Helmer (7 powers guy) there is a real moat in unique technological expertise in the chip industry. E.g. the chip making machines that ASML ma

I'm curious: Do you think there is a realistic chance for another chip maker to catch up and overtake NVidia in the AI space in the next few years or is their lead and expertise insurmountable at this point?

Yup. I've been looking for books that explain the underlying structures and dynamics of "wokeness" for a while. I feel "the Coddling" does a good job for some aspects of it. The best book I found so far in this rega
