I used to use Evernote then org-mode heavily but switched to pen and paper notes and haven't looked back. Whenever I used org-mode I started tweaking Emacs and writing macros for hours.

Yes, the "high performance" argument for C is a joke at this point. Modern programs are not bound by ALU heavy cycles. It's all about cache locality. C does not help besides forcing you, out of lack of expressiveness, to stic

Populism is in the air. Don't bet that tech innovation is the antidote. WWII taught us that technology and liberalism are mutually independent. In SV, technology and liberalism happen to coincide, but they don't have to.

What do you think is the black swan? 9/11 and Lehman were black swans. The business cycle turning over is not a black swan, especially with the majority of finance people predicting a recession this year.

Email is federated at a lower layer. At the UX layer, it is not federated. Fully qualified email addresses are like usernames. If you ask a random email user, they would think it works like this. If you ask a random Mastodon user, they know

The entire model is flawed. You don't want federation (small tribes). That's not why people use FB, IG, Twitter. They use it because that's where the people are--network effects. The only reason I'm posting here is becau

Those concerns are legitimate. My proposal is not a purely centralized hub-and-spoke network topology where one data center drives a million cars. Yes, you can have the central brain too, but I'm thinking more of a mesh network among n

Self-driving stops being a (difficult) AI problem if you force all cars to be self-driving and network with each other. It converts the behavioral/theory-of-mind problem into a distributed computing problem. We could have had self-driv

Power laws are brutal. In every codebase there's always ~1 person who actually does all the work. Imagine if everybody you hire/retain is that 1 person. For as woke as they are, big tech corps are still very competitive. Almost Ra

You would need general AI for this. What is in reach of current methods is EDM. The function that produces a dance beat is a lot more tractable. It's a pure signal processing problem, not a linguistic one. I think sooner than later we
