I've been reading Seneca's Letters to Lucilious. He says > For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands. I suppose I als

So what do you make of jazz, hip hop or punk rock? Those are full of social criticism, and also seem to reinforce the idea of free expression under capitalism. And there are lots of visual artists and dancers and writers too. I'm looki

I think this is good reading. I like the advice on drive and hard work, I think the amortization example is perfect. I recommend Hamming's book _The Art of Doing Science and Engineering_ which goes on in this vein for many chapters, an

Feels like there has to be algorithmic bias here. Let's not let coincidence paired with prejudice fool us into believing that fat men are corrupt.

Keeping track of the little things. And of course saying no. If you take 30-60 minutes a day to be sure that little things that are easy to take care of are actually complete, over time your coworkers will think you're 5x as productive

Laws and law enforcement are the only sane ways to deal with espionage or whatever the accusation is. What Trump is doing here must be illegal, I hope it is challenged and defeated in court.

The story is about a creative response to Apple's decimation of the music industry's business model. It signalled the time had come to bring digital distribution to books, and Bezos was one of the few in the business to realize th

I think this is interesting. The value of tcp/ip was the ability to form logical networks over and across existing physical/electronic networks. That only makes sense if you have an abundance of physical networks to start with.

This is a strange result -- it's saying that an ice age could be caused by a change in sunlight. With made up numbers, it's saying that a change from 100W/m2 to 60W/m2 could cause an ice age, even though a stable regime

Sorry, this isn't really the case. The AGPL can be used in a predatory fashion. Projects that are AGPL'd are often dual licensed, with a commercial license for commercial applications and AGPL for experiments. I once negotiated fo

I think the article is hyperbole. 120 years ago, photography changed painting and today AI is going to change photography. It might be, just as with modernist painting, that freely available perfection creates a desire for distilled humanit

This is really interesting. If a cpu hardware vulnerability like spectre could be repaired by patching an fpga on the SOC that would be incredible. That type of functionality would overtake the entire cloud market in about 3 days.
