I like the idea of having a much easier way to integrate with all of the chat clients, especially with UI. I've been surprised there wasn't a way to do that more easily before (eve…

Thank you for coming in and replying to all of these comments with actionable, honest info!

I think working conditions have changed enough since then to make a request for non-biased studies a reasonable one. Most debates about unions seem to boil down to “I just know” or…

It appears that you have a major bone to pick with Tailscale and direct replies to your concerns do not seem to matter. They have a good security track record and are extremely wid…

I’ve been looking for something like this!

Yes, these are good points! My quick summary is that I don’t think only wealthy people/companies should have their voices heard. I just don’t think that attempting to squash lobbyi…

Fair point, and I concede I oversimplified. I certainly don’t think that this should be the only way to talk to a lawmaker! I should be able to schedule time to go meet with my rep…

Lots of pitchforks in these comments. If you had read that the EFF was meeting with lawmakers in the US to convince them that there was no secure way to allow the government to bre…

I think it is as enforceable as other licenses are.

Right, but by that rationale, it’s also suspicious to say “no” when they ask if they can open your suitcase. Or decline to tell them where the key is. Or ask to speak to your lawye…

Agreed. This is the same crowd that is mad about free tiers going away on other dev-friendly hosting services…

Cool idea. I love range requests and other static-hosted client-navigable formats!

I think you have a point, and SCD type 2 feels like a workaround, but there is also something to be said for the ability to query every row as it was at any given version. I’m not …

Thank you for responding! This spawned a very large thread, so I wasn’t sure where to respond, but it is shocking to me how most of the supporters of this in the comments make a fu…

I wasn’t familiar with the term “Residential programming,” but it reminds me of the talk “Stop Writing Dead Programs” ( https://jackrusher.com/strange-loop-2022/ ) Increasingly, I …

As written, wouldn’t this result in fewer online games? Maybe dramatically fewer?

So well said. I appreciate you articulating this. I am relieved to see that there are others on here who understand the unbelievable privileges we have at this moment in time. The …

Your phrase “extract” betrays a fundamental disagreement with what Paul is saying. (Externalities does so again) It assumes a zero-sum game where the job is to shift money from one…

I'm really sorry to hear that, and I wish you and the rest of the team luck. When you first came out, I thought the approach was really solid - particularly with regards to structu…

I was never sentenced to the Gulag, but based on what little I know, it's pretty different than one these people are experiencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag

We love OrbStack too! Thank you for it, I wanted to make its VM/machine our default secure agent sandbox, but I couldn’t figure out how to isolate this VM from the host properly. T…

True, but I actually had no idea that it was the soft parts rather than the hard parts that had been fossilized. (I haven’t verified it yet.) Either way, it didn’t read like a bad …

I appreciate it. That's my belief as well. Very easy to write a post like, "Just use multiple clouds!" or to claim to have done it with a small project. But it's hard for me to ima…

I’ve seen a few smug “all your eggs in one basket” comments here. I’m aware of some companies hosting their own metal and infra, but I’m not aware of large companies mitigating ris…

Fascinating! Do you have a way to detect/flag malicious stuff by any chance? (Seems like a good vector for prompt injection, but maybe no more than any other internet site?)
