It seemed like there was supposed to be images in that article, but all I saw was ads.

This may surprise socialists, but you can set up a pharma company yourself right now that makes all its research open.

I’m glad _someone_ is working on bringing the windows experience to Linux!

People in small teams with managers promoted from within could probably have had this in mind.

Big Corporate managers are much more likely to have felt the need to “do AI” from their VPs, who in turn got it from the executive team, who have probably been under fire to produce a coherent magical AI strategy that makes to company scale infinitely while reducing costs. In that environment it’s much more likely to be copy-and-pasted charts from Gartner and buzzwords overheard at conferences, combined with the hope that somebody somewhere will eventually turn it all into something that resembles forward movement.

At most points in time resources are scarce and not all life can be supported. At those times beings with a tendency to say “them” will give way to beings who most strongly assert “us”.

All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

This was in part caused by the general public’s comfort with federated identity for OAuth. If everyone already has one anyway (the thinking may go), why not mandate it?

When I read translations like these, I always wonder if the tone is translated. Did the writer mean to convey a very formal “to the utmost”, or was it a more casual “to the max”.

How much of the translators bias makes these seem like academic papers instead of social media posts.

For enterprise, the ability to shut out a user with one click is the overriding security feature.

I don’t know why anyone wants to use a federated identity to sign into things. Where did the messaging that it’s more secure come from, Google?

Where would I find a good write up on where to start with this?

4) Make it illegal to use anything but regulated models.

It depends on who’s using it, and I’d say the doctors can use it more intelligently than the patients.

I think “Just not the way it needs to be for this.” is exactly the point.

I think that Obama-esque, GMAT essay format is the AI flavor that turns me off AI-written articles. It used to be good writing, but because AI locked onto it as such, it's become the watermark of AI generated content.

To each his own. Some drawbacks here are that it means that if you want to copy the code in, you have to add all the “p9”s. And, if you want to make a more complicated demo, with maybe a second import, you now have multiple conventions in your demo codebase.

It looks awesome but I’d need to be able to swap an eSIM easily to switch back and forth from an iPhone.

Back in the day when I was doing this kind of thing, we had to buy a whole load of British Standards. They are £100s each, and they each cover a small part of work. If you’re designing steel structures you need one for basic structural design, one for loads on structures, one for steel structural design, one for the steel sections themselves, one for foundation design, one for execution of steel structures, and many many more. It’s thousands of pounds.

This looks so complicated. There needs to be like 2 obvious buttons to press to get anyone to do any of this.

Maybe the ultimate bitter lesson is that entropy always wins in the end.

An alternative view is that rooms like these would be a lot more feasible if market pricing of real estate was not being artificially driven up by planning restrictions. Historically, communities were able to afford their own versions of this in their own localities, but this isn’t possible anymore because of property prices. There was a community hall where I grew up that was funded like this along with a local sports club, and I’ve lived in a few North American cities where there are still community club/social houses for different groups (and not just wealthy ones) that were built decades ago.

A great way to undermine government would be to get them locked on Lines of Report (LoR) pushed to congress each month.

I guess I’m thinking of the $100/mo users, for whom it’s probably possible to get the right hardware.

I think it would be very hard to convince someone to pay $100/mo to go back to Claude if they have a local model up and running, particularly now that model improvement has basically been stalled for the last 6 months. It’s so easy to set it up for yourself now too with things like LM studio. That said, there will always be unsophisticated users who can’t figure it out, so there will always be someone there to pay.

From the article:

> My personal threshold would be the moment the CTO isn't the only engineer anymore. As soon as a second person shows up, the problems K8s solves become real.

Adopting k8s when you hire your _second_ engineer (first after the CTO)? That’s a red flag that the CTO’s priorities are wrong and he’s just enjoying tinkering with his infra instead of solving the users’ problems.

It’s free lines of code on the internet that you are going out of your way to run on your own machine.

While that is a tempting narrative, the idea that there would be restrictions on exports of AI began in the previous government. This isn’t a my team v your team problem.

It’s either that, or an extreme conservatism where nothing must deviate from how it used to be.

It’s easy to be a hero if you risk nothing. Fatty Bolger risked it all!

Ya, their coding harness is way better than Claude code, but because it’s directly using the clause api it’s way more expensive. Rolling it into the family would make it product-class-defining.
