Mostly because it's generally a bad idea for government to try to compete with a brand new tech industry with hundreds of billions in private capital developing commercial models. …

True, a series of huge relays getting towed out in each direction you want to go. Last time I read into it they talked about near moon or planet sized communication systems.

I wonder if even drone ships could communicate back to earth effectively if we sent them out so far. We'd probably have to wait forever for the robots to come back to find out what…

That has always been a recurring issue on Twitter's mobile app for the last decade. They are forever trying to balance the algo feed with the following feed. The clear separation b…

X has gone harder on login gating than the old Twitter they adopted for sure. Reddit also started going in this direction. Instagram has had it for a long time. I suspect selling A…

Nikita publicly talked about wanting to go even further to kill those spammy foreign reposter accounts but X eventually pulled back at some point. Lots of the big X accounts compla…

Funny enough, one of the first thing Elon's team did after buying Twitter was remove login gating. There was a big bottom signup CTA on the old Twitter. Then at some point I guess …

Nikita did plenty of good for X, this is a big loss.

An 84yr old who doesn't understand the technology and 72yr old political hack? Both of whom are populist and lived in the fringe most of their careers.

I don't currently plan to use this stuff (mostly because I generally use Claude via IDE sidebars) but I still love Warp and their TOML/YAML based config which preloads my 10 tabs +…

Second order effects of well intentioned regulation. As is tradition.

Even React Native tools used by tons of companies struggle to keep up with Xcode build tool changes on mac itself.

Sam drank the "superintelligence" kool aid early on and said 30-40% of jobs could be impacted by AI, but recently admitted he was wrong > “My scorecard, at the highest level, would…

eBay has always nickle and dimed you. I remember a friend saying that in the early 2000s when he ran a big eBay store. He always tried to avoid eBay but you made money easier onlin…

Right the whole conflict UAE has with Saudis is they support Islamists who do stuff like that, which destabilizes the region. That's a good battle to have play out IMO. The fact a …

I use YNAB ( https://www.ynab.com/ ) for budgeting so I already had all of my financial data in a single source. Exporting the CSVs locally and asking Claude to be my financial adv…

I'd still take UAE vs Saudi, over Iran destabilizing everything in the region (Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Western Sahara). Not to mention supporting Russia and North Korea.…
