It felt much the same when posters went from hand-drawn to created by computers. Personality went from handwriting or eccentric, dynamically-created fonts to Comic Sans. To me this feels like the next level. TBH, most of those menus just lo

Except the "merge mess" footgun. I got into training people in Git (I now do it for O'Reilly) because I worked with 12 teams that merged _everything_ into sub-branches. The result was that the `git log --oneline` command resu

If Farage wins he is still subject to an investigation that could eject him from Parliament, over a 5m crypto gift/loan he received from an ex-pat donor that he did not declare. Farage is looking to get a popular mandate to try and bot

In Parliament, members are referred to by the place they represent, eg "The Right Honourable Member for Harry Pottershire" rather than their names. It's a way to make things less personal. In fact, "naming" an MP is

"placelessness" was coined the year after I was born! So if it's not 'just age', then it's been going on a long time.

On cities, I guess my point is that I didn't have to seek out new experiences. Simply going there guaranteed new experiences. I spent a lot of time in Vienna growing up and everything was different. I literally couldn't have a fam

This touches on something I've (and many others) have felt throughout my life, not just since the advent of LLMs. To take a simple example: I grew up with computer games in the '80s where there were no 'physics engines'

I don't know TBH. It's just that if you're going to have a 'pure' designation for a tech, it's going to be pretty strict (as per bash and adding modules). I've never heard of 'pure' linux, but &#

I see some similarity to how I felt when library management/wrangling became a huge part of software development. In the last century I enjoyed crafting my own 'libraries' of functions that I could then use on the projects I

People used to knock out children as a social security/insurance policy for old age, or to work the farm as they aged. The rise of the welfare state(s) in urban societies removed that need.

I don't believe people keep their kids 'safer' because they think the world has become more dangerous. It's slightly taboo, but I think people protect their kids more now because they are more precious to the parents. Th

How do we know that that isn't essentially how our minds work?

Evidence for that? I remember there was a guy who worked for google that quit because he thought an LLM was conscious and we needed to talk about its rights, but that's the only example I am aware of.

It's a great story, and a nicely written piece. But civilisations have always forgotten things and then had to re-engineer them. We only recently recreated Roman-equivalent concrete; knowledge required to create the Saturn V rockets ha

Similarly, I did group therapy for a few years, and found it highly and profoundly rewarding. It's much more structured, with a facilitator to help reduce the possibility of dangerous behaviours. It forced me to confront aspects of mys
