this is a cool idea, but i suspect will be limited in use cases. the vast majority of people don't want or can't modify their software competently and will rely on others to do tha…

I could not agree more. We need less tech in classrooms, not more.

Enterprise adoption of this type of cryptographic authentication is nil.

I like this direction, but I don't think the crypto angle is necessary or practical in an enterprise / corporate setting. Current audit and compliance frameworks don't leverage or …

This is super sketch for others on the platform. First hand experience from using OCI - they have severe capacity constraints and need _lots_ of heads up when you want to increase …

This is a very economically driven situation in the US. Upper middles load their kids up non stop with educational stuff outside of the schools, but the lower middle on down can't …

I always get very skeptical with putting more technology in the classrooms (at least here in the US). The primary problem is funding and too many kids for a single teacher. Educati…

We were there over the summer and this was such a fantastic activity for my kids. It got them looking up at the buildings and really helped draw their attention to architecture and…

Has anyone else noticed that their connection count stays 'correct' but a significant number of people that I used to be connected to now are surfaced as recommendations for me to …

I have started thinking more about the traditional relationship between labor and management whenever someone brings up the topic of managing in the modern era. (Perhaps its becaus…

Hi all, Curious to know how folks have been accounting for COGS for a SaaS service in an environment where the engineers responsible for maintaining production rarely actually touc…

Analyst firms (ie Gartner) are a big driver of this too. Couple that with the start up / VC model which needs to create new 'categories' to demonstrate differentiation, and you hav…

Fwiw, I read the FAQ yesterday. It was either not there or else my blinders were on to not find anything.

What I find sketchy is that it is not easy to find out who is behind this service. The norm is an about us or a link to a parent site. Briefly skimmed the legalese (ToS & Privacy) …

it's not a one time scrape, but a continual tuning

I haven't seen much discussion in defense of Reddit protecting their content from LLM training competitors. This to me is why they have to crack down on their API, it's no longer j…

I put a lot of blame on the new POS 'self checkout' style that Square and Toast popularized. These let you configure the system to default add the tipping prompt, and it detaches t…

just a nit, where is the link to part 1?

Having a teenager, I've seen the bullying and caustic behavior without social media. One classic example is for a group of friends to be on a iMessage thread together, and suddenly…

I think this round of LLM will decimate some previously considered core parts of 'tech' in one fundamental way. Those already skilled in tech, will be able to garner huge productiv…

Probably not the right place to post this, but I really want someone to build a ChatGPT service that reviews consumer EULAs and highlights the important stuff, and can tell me what…

I would love to see a future of small hairless Galvespians inhabiting the planet.

YMMV, but the thing that seems to work in my house (mid teen girl) is to actively be engaged with her social life and have the meta (not Meta) conversation about social media impac…

Markets are not oriented to solve problems for social and societal needs, that is supposed to be the government for the people's concern. If we as a society want this solved, and t…

Couldn't even be bothered to run it through ChatGPT first?
