Nice! OT: Do you happen to know anyone in the Melbourne area who works on this kind of stuff by any chance?

To me, this reads as an attempt to raise easy investment money.

Right. That's why 50 years of searching has not been enough in Germany.

Unlike the states, Germany is densely populated and does not have vast uninhabited areas. Where do you suggest should they store their nuclear waste? Germany has been looking for a…

I don't know exactly what you mean by "like Germany", but singling out Germany seems a strange choice given that the main global offenders are orders of magnitude worse in terms of…

> it’s well-understood that very few people actually read those things, they just want to get them out of the way. This is a jaw-drop moment for me every single time I observe some…

If the "super app" is modular - like Emacs is - you basically get the best of both worlds.

Thanks for your great input. But you might have mistaken what I was trying to get at - certainly not that there's no difference between a computer program and a person.

Non sequitur.

Maybe it's just me, but when I was younger one reason that got me into AI research was the idea that one day we would have these seemingly intelligent entities that we could talk t…

High prices might be an incentive for piracy but it cannot be a justification. It's a bit like saying it's okay to sneak into a movie theater because the prices for movie tickets a…

> There is a world of difference between "here's a problem that I'm really concerned with and poured all my expertise to solve it" and "I told Claude to fix it for me and now I'm g…

I've always dreamed of having the ability to just talk to my computer (in the right circumstances) so I actually worked in the field for many years. The main reason I never use spe…

Be precise: the quote does not say "individual people deserve...", it's talking about the country as a whole. And even then, you don't necessarily have to agree with it.

Awesome family constellation, thanks for taking the time to explain!

I feel you. My son is still younger, but I have similar fears. As any good husband would, I bought my wife an old SNES for Christmas a few years ago. And my son loves playing Super…

Btw, completely OT but something I found puzzling when reading your blog post: how did your aunt communicate with the Austrian guy who didn't speak English?!

One of my best friend loves making music. And he was also always interested in recording tech. So after we both graduated from high school, he went on to become a sound engineer. B…

There's certainly that. But a lot of the points of the sibling and nephew comments here ring true, too.

I could probably write a blog post with the opposite title, sth. like "My life got ruined by the Commodore C64". Equally hyperbolic, the narrative would go something like this: I w…

One of the hobby projects that I want to do, and hopefully will find the time for before we get rid of my wife's car, is to retrofit it with a CD player, powered by a Raspberry Pi …
