"No-one can match out tririme fleet, or move men as quickly through the Mediterranean" - Athens circa 440 CE

[citation needed]

Reality left the building a long time ago. I think a lot of world models of how things "should" go are severely outdated.

Oddly, the strange handheld look and constant reframing of the talking head shots are pulling me wildly out of focus and distracting me terribly. Wonder what drove the choice to do…

This sounds more like post-hiring admin, unless you're discriminating against parents?

Bullshit work, in other words.

Sell at high, buy at low?

I find it hard to blame the workers in this story... it's a poor indictment of the management if they only checked in 3 months later and got this surprise - no wonder the company c…

Are you paid significantly more for your newfound productivity?

Source for it being a "trap"? Got some evidence to share?

Failure of the markets, and capitalism in general. Surely if the markets worked properly there would be ample housing due to demand?

Hm. I read the title differently - that we create "A" personal website to break the monopoly of the "All" websites like the social media sites he mentions. The singular destroys th…

This sounds just as bad as yolo-merges, just on the other end of the spectrum.

It's 75 minutes to _communicate_ the message to customers. Definitely internal teams were ahead of this before it was posted to the AWS Health Dashboard. Status Page posts are lagg…

"This is important enough for someone to work on as soon as their shift starts, but not important enough to page someone out of bed for."

Wholly inaccurate. AWS Systems Engineers would have been paged by automated monitoring systems once alert thresholds were breached. No escalation through Support needed.

Thank you, I came to say this too. You're mushing your humans harder, and they'll break. Those 5 mins of downtime post-call aren't 100% note taking - it's catching their breath, tr…

You're right, of course. Notice I edited out the Swan Lake reference in my quote - https://www.npr.org/2021/08/19/1029437787/in-1991-soviet-cit...

> One of my nightmares is waking up one morning and discovering that the power is out, the internet is down, my cell phone doesn’t work I dunno.... as I get older, this sounds more…

Today? In this current version of America? You like the idea of being deployed internally against protestors? Or maybe, Greenland sounds like a nice holiday spot?

My intersect of "people I like" and "people I have to spend time with" is likely smaller than yours.

It's like worrying about moving bits on a hard drive, or writing nice machine code. Eventually you just won't care. AI / LLMs interacting with code bases in future won't care about…

I don't think that's true. I'm in EU and I've allowed engineers to shift their working hours based on personal circumstances - like start remotely at 7am and finish at 3PM. I also …

We are _in_ the Metaverse. Algorithms generate personalised recommendations - your own universe - that the person right next to you may never see. You can live a full life online i…
