I feel like the missing ingredients are risk, variance, cost, time horizon etc. "Moonshot" type endeavours are not paradoxes. They do involve considerable uncertainty and usually some kind of large investment (time, money or somet

TRUE! Acknowledged. I have some weak arguments for why I feel that case was different but I agree you refuted my point.

To me, "organic" means people organising via messaging within the data plane of the platform, exercising their rights to free speech and political organisation. Can you name a prior instance where a social platform has added custo

by xyzzy123 3y ago
I agree all the socials are full of memetic hazards and nonsense. Data plane issue. The platforms obviously bear major responsibility for this but to an extent their hands are tied by dispute about what constitutes "valid" speech.

What I can't figure out is how DoS-ing congress helps them achieve their goal. This was an "inorganic" campaign and based on misinformation. Seems like an excellent demonstration of the risks of having your citizens wired up

I think the situation is very much more complicated than this in the sense there is not just one way to behave, the right way to behave is situational. Good wartime leaders might be bad peacetime leaders and so on etc. Do you want high or l

Safeguards can hard to fight for when they make key numbers go down but improve something else that doesn't (immediately) show up in metrics.

Isn't the world already kind of like that ("somebody else's dream"), just with "nobody at the wheel"? Like, technological society has "taken over" and there's no real way for humanity to opt out

Right and as a CDN they HAVE to handle layer 3 & 4 DDoS themselves so it's not like they're doing you any favours. The traffic is typically routed to the customer based on SNI.

The world was not an entertainment-less void before TV & computers. There were social gatherings, reading, writing, radio, games, thinking, hobbies and crafts, etc. Most people probably went to bed earlier though.

It's even worse than that imho, unscrupulous sellers will go into keyword planner in google ads and create content to sell supplements and find "under-served" niches. It's actively adversarial.

This is true but it would nice to have some TLDs operated as associations or coops for the benefit of members.

Also integrations have semantics and support specific use cases . They're not just boxes and lines on an arch diagram!

I agree but now you are asking your users to either install an extension or download something. What many people want is the convenience of http/web with the immutability of content addressing and the frustration of OP at the start of

The idea is that users could bookmark reviewed and vetted versions of websites / apps. It won't work "unilaterally" for obvious reasons but there are lots of p2p, e2e, security and crypto type apps where creators would l

I think Marxists call it "alienation of labour", quite a lot is written about this. Loss of autonomy is definitely a factor, but also people can get disconnected from the output leading to a loss of meaning in the actual work. At

Eldest or only children often prefer the company of adults over other children, 2nd and further or kids from bigger families tend to be more comfortable hanging out with other kids. I think it's largely practice / what they are ac

So torn by this, I hate both outcomes (AI copyright laundering is legal, companies can just plunder any images not kept behind a paywall OR adobe/getty win).

You almost certainly should not make any irreversible life decisions based solely on what reddit tells you to do, because what reddit tells you to do will 100% depend on what sub you ask the question in.

The tweet is referencing the comments on the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBVtvOpU80Q&t=1s - I guess these could be inauthentic but there are a lot of them...

I wouldn't do it for myself but I live in a big household with kids. I expect many other "hoarders" are in a situation where what they are actually trying to do is provide a good discovery experience for others where it is no

No because the desire to know and control what's going to happen is primarily driven by finance needs, and they're also the people who pay you.

The tension is fundamental and comes from a perfectly reasonable desire to know how much things will cost, how long things will take and what they will get at the end. Adequately communicating, negotiating and managing the uncertainty is th

Agree 100% with all points. I love contract-first. Better for producers and provides multiple tooling options and better docs for consumers. I was agreeing with parent that some spec formats frankly suck to write by hand and openapi yaml is

I would be curious to see the numbers on that.

Interesting factoid, but I can't see how this would lead to any real world performance impacts. I am also baffled as to why you would want 2gb reads for wc. System calls are not that expensive and at some point touching so many pages

Its a bit icky but LLMs / copilot can speed up the creation of openapi specs a lot. Agree it doesn't fix the "root" problem that the overall syntax is not ergonomic.

Agree you can't kill all the badness, but e.g. web security has gotten better in many respects primarily (I have no proof of this claim but I was a pentester for a long time) because of improvements in libraries and frameworks. I don&#

I apologise if my response was a little snarky. Even granted that OpenAI are not able to build a chip that is competitive with NVidia's latest GPUs for running LLMs right away (which is an opinion - not backed by any direct evidence, b
