I think they'll push it pretty far. The modern structure of society has effectively given government a complete monopoly on force and violence. So the second a disenfranchised person responds with violence, it's easy to…
History rarely repeats, but often rhymes. Modern feudalism will be the right to control your access to "required services" needed to be considered a normal member of society. Ex - who needs to get physically violent…
Sadly there's not much credibility for any participant in this industry. There's simply to much financial entanglement to take any statement at face value. So... No. Even if he means what he's saying, it's irresponsible…

they literally would be selling it to me. I deploy browser extensions to millions of devices, and small local models that I can run in that space are incredibly appealing. But the "per user" model is just especially…
I don't even really understand the complaint. I quite like the way Rivians look. It's a fairly generic body shape, but the headlamp and grille shape is distinctively "happy" instead of "aggressive" (this is a real…
50k annually for a static set of weights is actually crazy, though. As in - I make software for a living and they can fuck off. Produce the item. Sell the item at a cost you find reasonable. Convince me to buy it again…
Hardly need to add "Modern" on this statement. Hell - Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" is nearly 40 years old at this point (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent) If anything - I actually think we're at…
This isn't making the point you think it is... Uber doesn't buy the cars because it's not profitable. They let the driver eat the depreciation, assume the capital risk, and deal with lemons and accidents. No one drives…
They might be in the clear if they were solely downloading (might) but if he's also seeding then it's just copyright violations.
They discuss quite a bit of this in the video. I actually thought it was a decent walk through of why they're targeting the space they're targeting, and how they're thinking about exactly these problems. Some items to…
You're not corporate America (and trust me, I mostly mean that as a plus). I also work in software, and while I vaguely disagree that open models can't be used (they absolutely fit into productive niches here, and holy…
Literally, what the fuck are you talking about. As in, please be more specific with your claims that we don't require identification to vote. Because it strikes me as a very low effort Fox News talking point, not any…
While I agree this is a technical path that makes sense, I'm not sure it's a financial path that does. Or at least not outside of very upscale, niche products for wealthy consumers or businesses. Which doesn't mean I…
> I think Trump feels duped This is an incredible spin on this whole fiasco. I cannot be emphasize enough how understated I am being when I say this: I expect our president to be capable of accurately assessing the…
I think this take holds up very poorly when the reality boils down to: "Government policy and critical services have made it so there are functionally two markets for mobile software, each owned by the manufacturers and…
Yes - because the system is trying to prevent the flood by piling up sticks instead of removing the source of water. It's in failure mode (intentionally, is my read) because while it might eventually declare "x is not…
This line also undercuts the whole fucking article too. Because as it damn well says - this is POSIX working exactly as designed. I don't know why he's in here playing this up as some unexpectedly crazy, scary, dramatic…
I think it's a bit more complicated than you're implying here. Yes - you are technically correct that each country is taxing its own citizens/businesses with tariffs. I also agree that phrasing is more honest than what…
In a lot of spaces, this is actually preferable. Ex - nodejs natively supports a huge set of typescript with built-in type stripping these days. But ask most hosted models to build a typescript project and they default…
shut your mouth - that brown was beautiful.
I don't really see a problem. Prior to this it would have been the millions of throw-away "hello world" intro projects, or "todo app" websites. Hell - think of how many people wrote "facebook clones" back in the day.…
Yeah, I think engineering orgs mostly jumped the shark. Metrics like pr count and commits have always been terrible gauges for success compared to business performance. But they're easy to measure, and even easier to…
I think this is one of the more important points in this thread. The problem is that too many pieces require experiences that the majority of the classroom just doesn't have. It's not that students don't venture far…
And none of these are meaningfully different on high end laptops from other providers. Apple had a window with M1 devices where I'd probably agree they were just better. Apple also has a history of making devices that…
