> you can always short the stock. Which is going not too badly for the shorts, so far. There's a reason almost 50% of the float is loaned out. We'll see once the earnings call roll…

Given doing better costs money, and people don't want to pay for better, leaving that place is hard. We've seen the same play out with physical goods - the cheapness of just-good-e…

> Use Linux/KDE. Yep. I, too, get more productive by spending a PhD worth of effort on choosing a window manager.

"No information about your text is ever sent to the server, and there’s no way to identify the author based on the minted certificate" This means the certificate is independent of …

Sure, but did it need to be written by AI? Does that solve for the right constraint?

Yes, to get funding.

But they don't want to, because figuring that out is your job as a supervisor. If you outsource that work to customers/patients, you'll end up with the car dealership model, where …

There are other phones. They allow publishing PWAs, it turns out.

"you just need radiators which are passive "Just" is doing a lot of work there. SpaceX is planning to launch 100 GW of compute annually, that comes with ~ 2.5 square kilometers of …

"Altman doesn’t appear to be a beacon of corporate ethics." Do those exist? I'm usually happy to see a mild candle flicker in the ethics window.

This is a general belief of our current version of capitalism. As much work as possible is outsourced to the user, the gains are captured by the company. See also self-checkout etc…

It does. It's called a PWA.

In retrospect, I think my wording might be misleading - I didn't mean to imply the US is doing significantly worse than developed world, just that none of the developed world does …

So, KYC propaganda?

Haven't yet seen a developed nation do worse than the US. If you prefer to compare against developing countries only, sure, winning by lowering the bar to the ground is an option.

This project was likely not written just to be convenient for you. And if it's got value for you, hey, it's open source. Spend the 15 minutes and 10 cents, it's a bargain.

Write an LLM script to review them. Tell it to find at least three severe issues. Set to auto-reply. He who brings the slop cannon shall be drowned by slop rain.

They're not just "too zealous", they're ludicrous. I've had it reject looking at pages served from my local network because it "can't find it with my search tool" and had "ethical …

I mean, you don't have to annotate them :) Would I love to read annotations? Sure - but it's a boatload of work for you, and if it's just meant as a repo for you and your friends, …

Good for China. Society cannot work with too many corrupt civil servants. Yes, "autocrats", "civil liberties", and yet - the guy slurped up $325M to put his finger on the scale, no…

"Truly robust engineering isn’t about what works for most; it’s about gracefully handling the edge cases" Not really. Truly robust engineering includes a cost-benefit analysis of w…

Yes, but we've traded LLM psychosis for agent psychosis, followed by loop psychosis. (Or was it the other way round? Also, we did dark software factories already, right?) Turns out…

I think it'd be interesting to hear what you think the goal of the site is. Is it just rehosting the list, plus a reformatted copy of the papers? I was hoping you'd have at least a…

The thing is that most architectures aren't amenable to emulation by things you wrote stoned and drunk.

I think this misses a few crucial steps. Assuming you discover a capsule from the 21st century chances are overwhelmingly that either things have gone great, and you could just ask…
