Obviously so. Raytheon is a private company that has its own equities to consider: including things like public image, legal liability, etc. The idea that the USG says jump and Ray…

The Epsom salt meme predates your “Web 3.0” thesis by many decades. I have no idea if it’s true but it’s not indicative of any new trend.

Comparing SpaceX to an aircraft leasing company seems more foolish to me than a 94x multiple. I understand the gist here, but come on. This is a generational company. It’s the only…

They have deep synergies in the collectibles market. There's a Venn diagram with eBay on one side and Gamestop on the other, and cultural characters like Logan Paul with his $16m P…

What about human cheese?

He was well known in the first Trump admin.

No, reading verbatim from a technical paper is way too dense. You need a lot of filler words to slow it down and repetition to make it stick when read aloud.

Every group want to label some outgroup as naively benefiting from AI. For programmers, apparently it's the pointy haired bosses. For normies, it's the programmers. Be careful of t…

Anecdotally I have bought 2 switches over its lifetime and never saw any of this ever. Just clicked “buy” on Amazon.

I don’t know, I’ve been involved in computer science for several decades now and cellular automata hasn’t really lost its charm. Seems like a cool thing to dedicate your life to!

Many sites do something like that in practice. The problem is the extra 500ms of parse+eval time for your JS bundle influences user behavior a lot on the margin, so it’s better to …

Ultimately the choice of platform is about trust rather than capability. Apple has been a much better citizen historically than any of the smart TV companies.

The description/assessment of tasks is all plausible, but agreed, some of the execution can be surprisingly boneheaded :) Case in point, I am building a cellular automata-based phy…

Coincidentally I am also writing a cellular automata simulation. I've blindly given your article to my software architect subagent, who has identified several architectural improve…

Consider that a subset of us programmer types pride themselves on never moving their hands off the keyboard. They are already "wired in" so to speak.

What a fascinating semantic mistake. Is it possible being long-divorced is more similar to being siblings than we realize?

Other words they like are "reflection", "expansion", "compression". These are fundamental, abstract, semi-monadic terms that allow the user to bootstrap an abstract theory. A littl…

This is arguably why it makes more sense to bring GH under the umbrella. Azure integrations need to happen yesterday. The future is full-stack batteries-included low-codeish platfo…

Github should have the product sophistication/complexity of Atlassian with the distribution advantage of Microsoft. Anything less is an execution failure IMO. Not even mentioning A…

Our own solar system has what appear to be spiral arms. Very cool finding.

How could you possibly know what an LLM would do in that situation? The whole point is they exhibit occasionally-surprising emergent behaviors so that's why people are testing them…

Are there any hierarchies in mathematics that aren't like this? It seems like most hierarchies are constructed such that going up one "level" expands your scope so much that the pr…

It's the exact same benefit as having your own car. It's a common reason people have to avoid shared transit.

Sayings about how old things are surprisingly effective: "Don't knock it till you try it" "Chesterton's fence" "Reinventing the wheel" Any others?

That's a toy example! In reality in a complex app you'd usually be aborting far from where the fetch is created, and you'd have large promise chains where the semantics of cancella…
