the doc "Taxi": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_(2015_film)

I'm happy to give some lazy dude smoking weed all day my tax money. 1. Working gives me satisfaction and money. 2. A lot more people are doing worse things with my tax money. 3. I …

Very elegantly put! So much so in fact, that I finally put down my phone to grab my laptop in order to write this. I have had a similar much cruder version of this thought: LLMs ar…

There is a good podcast on this topic: hot money (2022) from the Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/762e4648-06d7-4abd-8d1e-ccefb74b3... spoiler: visa and mastercard do ac…

Hilarious is what it is. I find it endearing and reminds me of my youth idolizing historical figures and playing role playing games and lord of the rings assembling the team. My ja…

Yup. I read the second version twice and am still not sure what the ask is and what to do. Prime example of not having a clear ask and showing too much hubris behind some polite qu…

I did my masters in the UK and PhD in Germany. The difference in quality graduates (in engineering) is staggering. The first two semesters are more challenging than the 4 years Men…

in my experience it (announcing to people in your network that you are job hunting) is precisely what you should be doing. Some might even point you to the next opportunity. I unde…

You are correct, but an RC circuit is part of the amplifier circuit and you can do a lot to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) depending on frequencies/signals are trying to a…

Any alternatives to recommend?

I'm in the market for some wifi access points. If Ubiquiti is not so great can you name some alternatives?

...not yet. But I am sure they could.

not the accuser but I have seen even AI to drop its usage of the emdash... thankfully! (Whats wrong with brackets?)

Very interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. No I am not a bot, I'm for reals. My two cents with the EU tinted glasses. I completely agree with failures of governance that you…

oh god yes... but I am carrying my self chosen surveillance device with me every single time I enter a car.

So I am expecting the AI bubble to burst (or at least deflate) some time soon. Perhaps this puts me I an specific camp, I am not sure. But this whole "AI will replace X jobs" does …

As a "gun nut of tech", I have resolved this issue for myself with two computing categories for hardware I use: Hardware-I-trust and Hardware-someone-else-trusts. Sometimes these s…

and here I am reading an interaction and thinking you two are saying exactly the same thing. Language be, what it is I guess: open to interpretation.

This is what has always made it hard for me to go beyond the Newtonian physics. The only thing I know and use daily that relies on relativity is GPS and having looked into the equa…

Thank you for the nice read. I empathize with many of your points, we are standing on the shoulders of giants. I refute on the claim around "our greatest societal ills". I think th…

learned a new word today: "slopcoded MVP", love it! Thanks.

Corn, albeit not an animal has been pretty successful in terms of number of individuals. Their bi-pedal underlings have cleared swathes of land and take meticulous care of their we…
