    A bit off-topic, but it is interesting that you say this. Just earlier today I listened to Startups for the Rest of Us podcast episode 842 [1] titled "The future of SaaS in an AI W…

    The copy has AI written all over it. I find it very difficult to take any of it seriously.

    That's a genuinely grim thought, but not unrealistic either. I'll have to chew on that one, it's interesting.

    I agree in sentiment, I love knowing that another human made this, either because I fancy I could maybe do something as good as that, or because I just admire the talent, or simply…

    Maybe if enough AI produces self-report their work as AI, and enough non-AI producers are honest about uploading non-AI work, they'll quickly have the necessary amount of good-enou…

    True, we conducted science, part of which involved gathering and analysing data, to refine those "simple rules", though I'd say they've been pretty stable for a long time. Both our…

    > You want as much data as you can get about your health The device looks very cool, but I strongly disagree with the premise, and think this statement is rather misguided. 1. Most…

    It's not about being against technology. It's that we know the simple rules that will keep us healthy most of the time, and they don't need any technology at all. Eat healthy meals…

    Anthropic, as much as I think they are the soundest of the AI labs out there, still has a massive incentive to push things out that aren't saftey-vetted to the level we expect. The…

    Out of curiosity, I just compared my home wifi between fast.com and cloudflare's speed tedt and got similar results, completely and definitely disproving (n=1) my claim above.

    I read a while ago that certain ISPs will optimize the traffic to Netflix's servers, and so when you run fast.com (which is my default, by the way), you get your Internet speed for…

    No, thank you. LLMs are great for fuzzy things. But there are still a lot of things I do on my computer that are just a few mouse clicks or keyboard shortcuts away, achievable in l…

    Isn't "why" what commit message bodies are for?

    If you create a chatbot, you don't want screenshots of it on X helping you to commit suicide or giving itself weird nicknames based on dubious historic figures. I think that's prob…

    There is something to be said for trust here. I like that I can go straight to the imprint ("Impressum") to know with whom I'm dealing with online, where the company is located and…

    That's a bit exaggerated. I did have a company, and while it did come with bureaucracy, the vast majority of my time was spent on what you expect a founder to do (sales, marketing,…

    There's an excellent podcast called Acquired with a 3-part episode covering the birth and evolution of NVIDIA, highly recommended.

    Slackware!!! Dang, I had forgotten that name. That was the first distro I installed as well. Xeyes and stuff. Oh, dear...

    That's a great answer, very helpful. I just picked up Avalonia for a test drive. Why do you think Uno is better than Avalonia for mobile?

    The strain of bacteria was described as "notoriously drug-resistant". It didn't sound to me like the bacteria became drug-resistant in space.

    The developer has of course provided a print stylesheet (expect no less from a pro). Just print it, frame it, hang it up on the wall and voilà! A no-JS confetti demo right there in…
