    The signing key for Firefox stored on a single hardware yubikey available to a single person?

    I think what you're missing is that there are new open source projects being created at a very fast rate. But that doesn’t mean they stick. And the core issue isn’t AI, it’s that… …

    I don’t really know how these training runs operate in reality. But I assume it’s using a lot of raw GPU power directly. It’s hard for me to visualize how exactly you’d go about co…

    I mean the agents we get to use in Claude code or cursor or whatever have 1. a lot of safeguards at the harness level, 2. a big system prompt to help it stay aligned, 3. resource l…

    Not saying you’re wrong, but I think the bigger issue is how easy it seems to be for models to hack companies, even ones with generally ok security. Most tech companies are not doi…

    It’s interesting. Growing up, my small town of ~4000 had a local newspaper. It doesn’t exist anymore, as of 5-10 years ago. I think many less populated areas did have some independ…

    macOS is quirky and sometimes limited, but to be honest gets out of your way for the most part. Windows is actively hostile to me in numerous ways. Linux is incredible in its depth…

    Why the fuck would I spend thousands of dollars on cable or satellite or streaming when I can buy a $20 antenna once, plug it into the back of any modern TV, and get free channels …

    1. There is not much money in making a good editor. 2. There is money in AI products, and a huge demand for solid AI workflows from many developers. Lack of AI tooling is absolutel…

    I think that: 1. Commits are really just manual checkpoints while you’re working. Why not automatically checkpoint everything so you can actually go back to an older implementation…

    I agree on Opus. I’ve had more luck with other models. In particular, Opus’s writing style makes one want to… blow their brains out. While it’s not hallucinating too much, and can …

    No turn on red is a pedestrian safety issue. Many intersections don’t have adequate visibility, and right on red is very frequently dicey. So I’m glad that my city (Seattle) is ban…

    Yeah this smells like the type of comment an LLM leaves when it gets a really specific instruction. “use one consistent color for the data timeline. Right now we’re using multiple …

    Look, you’re absolutely technically right, but SpaceX is one of capitalism’s best examples. Because… is the Falcon launch business profitable? SpaceX has spent massive amounts of m…

    It’s an abject market failure that no carrier out there has solved this problem. I have whatever Verizon provides, and it’s basically useless. I would switch to a provider that sol…

    This is why we have to invest so much more into solar. Any kind of fossil fuel or even nuclear energy is constrained by scarcity. You put in a natural gas power plant, now you are …

    You’re right but they do at least say this: > by our estimate the amount spent will be smaller still at $8 trillion,* because most households receiving an inheritance are already a…

    I don’t think you covered the difference between 70mm and IMAX 70mm. One frame of IMAX is basically 3 frames of normal 70mm. So it is physically 3 times bigger I’d say that yes it’…

    I think the part you’re missing is the screen size in theatres. I saw The Odyssey in two formats (70mm normal film, and Dolby Cinema). In both theatres, the screen and image took u…

    As long as companies will pay for AI and providers can offer better models cheaper than others… there will always be a strong incentive to optimize to make the best value model. Co…

    No one’s squads give 2 shits what language their app is written in. The LLMisms are so annoying to read and tell me nothing genuine about what it’d be like to use it.
