This has been the prevailing advice all along, and yet we have security vulnerabilities everywhere that LLMs are good at spotting and exploiting. I think we need more options on th…

This is a curious choice of fields for you, if the last technology you think was a net positive was literacy !

For folks who are not familiar, this is "The Library of Babel" by Borges. There is no creating, just selecting among characters sequences we already knew were possible.

If other people didn't have children who grew up to be doctors, nurses, etc, there would be nobody to pay.

You need schools, pediatricians, daycare, other kids, etc. Cities (and suburbs) have those, not sure about every rural area. Certainly not the village in the article.

Bush was 8 years while Biden was only 4. Biden was much higher on a per year basis than anyone else since 2000, but obviously people believe what they want to believe.

I think the graph you linked obscures the issue a bit by showing total immigrant population by year, which would change much more slowly than arrivals by year. I found a graph of a…

I thought that was basically accepted truth? For example, the New York Times described it as: Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History https://www.nytimes.com/2024…

I was wondering about this, but digital versions are typical DRM-encumbered and actually a license (not a true purchase) whose terms probably don't allow this. The court's decision…

I'm on the distributor side, I used to fantasize about using XSLT to produce all the different XML formats (beyond DDEX, like Apple, etc) from one house format, but that was probab…

It's almost more of a warning to founders and VCs, that an AI developer that replaces a $100k/year developer might only get them $10k/year in revenue. But that means that AI just g…

This is how non-engineers have always lived! The code is a black box, but Product Managers develop a sense of whether the developer really understood what they meant, the QA team v…

From the docs: Users exclusively belong to Organizations; every User belongs to exactly one Organization. But I also see a screenshot where, after login, the User has to choose an …

It's the latter, but is there any effective difference, really? Say that lowering their their staff level from X to Y would result in a 15 minute wait for a smaller, undeterred gro…

Sounds interesting, I'll have to look into that. I'll say that the shared TV was better in one respect: it was right-side-up for more than just one person!

In this specific case, I bought it during a long overseas trip and our physical games were back at home! That said, while I love physical games, some digital aspects seemed potenti…

This is very cool! Somewhat similar, I recently bought a Nintendo Switch version of Ticket to Ride, which supports using a "companion app" on other devices to show each player thei…

I would recommend updating your resume (or at least thinking about what you would put in it) and considering how attractive it is to other employers. The situation you want to avoi…

Well, you kind of assumed it away in your second sentence, but alignment is more important than individual productivity. And unfortunately, meetings, interruptions, and other commu…

I did a quick search, and there are generators that I guess you bring up on your phone, like so: https://code-names.netlify.app

Sorry, I'm not following, how is getting paid less the same as getting a higher percentage? Artists have always been in competition with each other for the same consumer attention/…

So you want new artists to be promoted and you're willing for those artists to be paid less to make it happen? Spotify Discovery Mode seems to fit the bill. Artists agree to take a…

I agree that people have creative impulses, and not everyone wants to be a couch potato. However, I imagine a lot of people would rather noodle around on a guitar (or try to be a Y…

Great example of how taking people's money leads to new expectations!
