Surely there is no need to review every ad. Coke and Apple and whatnot are not going to be doing this. New companies or companies with a history of complaints can face extra scruti…

Is it? There are lots of wonderful US Christians who believe in kindness and compassion and love. There are also lots of US Christians who are deep into end-times insanity, like Ch…

Why? Mine is great. And light. And QUIET.

I took it to mean “as someone with a Texas accent”

The other boxes would slide around anyways after your box was delivered tho?

Horse shit. The government has extremely deep expertise in computer science readily available on their payroll and at their beck and call. They literally have DARPA, for instance.

Yes this exact line caught my attention. A sign of genius is being able to simplify and teach. If something really is superhumanly smart, it should be able to bring us along with i…

I think “build vs prompt” is a false binary that frames the argument badly. There are way more nuanced uses of LLMs than skill-free “write me a facebook clone.” Like, hey LLM, help…

I would feel more sad about this if the web wasn’t so rotten to begin with. On average, any random site is just trying to throw ads at you and harass you to subscribe and such.

That’s an instant debate winner if we can’t differentiate between breaking cameras and mass death.

Ugh. I just went through this ID verification process yesterday and I got it to work on /maybe/ the 8th try. Truly horrible design. Now I’m in a paperwork exchange with some random…

No. Theoretically congress could impeach him, but his party has proven they will support him no matter what his crimes. Theoretically his cabinet could remove him with the 25th ame…

Like, this very second? It’s been ones of months since USA attacked Venzuela. We are openly musing about invading Greenland. We are actively embargoing and threatening to invade Cu…

Strong agree. When I started managing there was very little oversight. It wasn’t perfect and we went a bit astray, and we also did phenomenal work and had everyone on the team deep…

Thanks, neat, I had no idea. That’s a nice system.

I think this is mostly right. In a blameless postmortem style process, you would look at not just the mistake itself but the factors influencing the mistake and how to mitigate the…

The site is completely unusable. Even with reader mode it somehow aggressively refreshed. Gave up in disgust.

That’s an added windows license though?

Great list. Invented Concept Labels is the one I think I get most frustrated by. When exploring new areas, I’ll read its paragraphs of acronyms and weird words and think I just don…

No doubt. Sports betting too. I’m a curmudgeon but we should completely unwind to the pre-lottery days when organized gambling was simply not legal.

Sadly apt. Democrats don’t make progress fast enough, while Republicans pull us backwards on vaccines, diversity, environment, abortion, healthcare, global prominence, naked corrup…

Impressive and heartening. Bravo.

The matrix framing is a very nice and way to put it. This morning I asked my assistant to code up a nice debugger for a particular flow in my application. It’s much better than I w…

100%. Even beyond the direct incarceration costs and the opportunity cost of their lost contributions, there is also the cost of the whole apparatus for arresting and charging folk…

This, and for politicians who actually agree without fear, it creates credibility, my constituents are up in arms about this and I will be supported if I champion it.
