It's surprising what a small team can accomplish, but there are some projects that need a large team to be feasible. It would be nice if there was a clear path on how to grow a game studio and continue to deliver…
The term "platform" implies a level of neutrality that doesn't exist in modern social media. The algorithm is making heavy decisions about what messages to amplify and which messages to suppress, on top of the…
How seriously people treat this risk will play a major role into the fate of the major labs. It's going to be used in the argument for bailout. It could be used to spin a more extreme narrative, pushing for a flavor of…
1. Investors lose interest and many companies lose access to capital. 2. A lot of the purchases from AI companies are being made with investor capital. As this dries up companies with high debt scramble to service the…
Yes, it happens. It's even happened with alcohol in certain population cohorts. I would just want to see stronger data before predicting alcohol consumption going to zero. Alcohol is a tradition lasting millenniums.
Generally speaking, the longer something has been common the more time it will continue to be common. A fad vs a trend vs a tradition. Of course alcohol use can change. We see several cohorts with very low alcohol…

The Manhattan project was divided into smaller problems that were solved by experts without them fully understanding the nature of the project. Then, the solution was reassembled by a handful of experts. You can divide…
I am under the impression that Firefox is the only web browser which has access to quality ad blocker. Am I incorrect in this? How is this not enough of a selling point for everyone to switch to it?
I've been using it since about February, still using it. It's running on my old M1 MBP. I have a lot of automations on OpenClaw, things like "Every week summarize this data and send me a message about it" or "check when…
I don't think these things are luxury at all, but can be packaged as luxury. For example, you can find quiet parks in most metro areas or you can go to a retreat in a resort in the mountains. For years I've been buying…
1. Do any of the cost savings recommendations you address come close to $1T/yr impact? This is the scale we should be aiming for. 2. If you think this modeling is inaccurate or incomplete you can directly discuss that.…
The non-healthcare sectors of the economy do.
Social Security is another great example.

Nothing executes more unverified untrusted code than a web browser will. You want some separation between it and everything else you have going on.
I actually think of degree mills as being vertically scaled. Online courses, a lot of course work graded by computers, large classrooms, etc. As for the quality, I think small classrooms with good teachers probably…
At this point you're just describing learning using buzz words.

I don't love this framing among software developers. This framing is very transactional, when many of the authors are explicitly trying to make their work free. The best thing a software dev can do is donate some of…
I switched from tmux to Herdr about six weeks ago. It's a great bit of software, the UI is focused on switching between multiple agents quickly. I run Herdr to keep my opencode instances well managed, and it also works…

These eras of Windows had their own dark patterns that were incredibly anti-consumer. No one's lives were improved because they installed the Ask Jeeves toolbar, but people were asked to install it millions and millions…
I remember when Windows didn't take gigabytes of space because there wasn't gigabytes of space, and it was still shitware.
Like every other group, there is some amount of groupthink happening with Wall Street analysts. They all came to similar incorrect conclusions because they are working with similar information using similar techniques…
