Huge chunk of internet already moved to CloudFlare. It's only reasonable to move the browsers there too. If the traffic doesn't leave CloudFlare it's huge saving for them.

I use them to find product fitting my specific desired parameters. Stores and price comparison websites often don't give you filters on all of the parameters that they posses and d…

So many modern games have such a clunky movement in comparison.

Are you gonna police the means through which I'm browsing the internet? If you want to, you are free to put your stuff behind the paywall and give the key only to people who agree …

And it's perfectly fine.

Human literature won't be completely replaced, same way photography and print didn't replace painting. They just outgrew it billion times (in volmue at least) and the humanity is r…

Any AI bestsellers you know about yet?

Nobody even started to seriously write books using AI. But at one point there will be AI books on "most read" lists. And a more than one of those will have readership higher than a…

If you press the button on a camera, you are not a painter. Don't worry, there's still room for paintings in human culture, even though photos outnumber them billion to one.

How many of these problems PHP solves out of the box or makes irrelevant?

Common sense is the sense of commoners. The entirity of science if a fight against common sense. In Poland the closest phrase to "common sense" is "na chłopski rozum" which means "…

Who had historically the most taste? The rich or the poor? And who had the worst taste? The people who grew up in poverty mindset that got rich. These are widely shared, common cul…

I once cooked a steak by throwing it into a auto-rotating 45deg pivoted induction cooking pot for random amount of time with some olive oil, sweet paprika, black pepper and rosemar…

It's only because you'd rather believe that you are being lied to than mistaken.

If you are waiting for someone else to make a good product for you with AI, you are missing out. The best AI products have userbase of one.

Absolutely not. Scarcity forces you to do with what you have. Only in abundance, only when you can have everything, you have room and reason to develop taste.

I think security is going to get devalued in the near future. The safest strategy is going to be to need as little as possible of the stuff that you need to keep secret. And you wo…

The entirety of our understanding of reality we owe to lossy transformations. Also called modelling.

I feel like LLMs refers to a model that for a given message responds with its own message. And I feel like AI agents (powered by some LLM) are qualitatively something else.
