skepticism is so shamed around here.

just because it was wrong once doesn't mean its never wrong. And was it really that wrong? The internet is great but would it be the worst thing in the world if we didn't live our lives around it?

there's nothing else left to chase apparently

you're one of the crazies

Frasier never finds love?

its funny how this is great news but somehow the headlines are still negative

this kind of thing feeds perfectly into our fears. However, we have to place trust in individuals and the choices they make - that's the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

Kids know that they should be learning things. They know that chatgpt can get in the way of that. Will they choose to do it the right way eventually aside from a few bumps in the road? I think so.

but does improving really help these small companies in the way it matters? If the cost of the infrastructure is apparently not important to the needs of the business..

anything that needs very real-time info. AI's will always be limited by us feeding them info, or them collecting it themselves. But humans can travel to more places than an AI can, until robots are everywhere too I suppose

seems very relevant to me. Isn't it capitalism that reduces our value to $s? And thus our art is only valuable as content?

how did you leave it behind? I am at their mercy right now and interested in switching to a stack where people actually value the tech rather than just tolerate it.

thanks for sharing. I appreciate it

As a Data Engineer, I feel like a fixer. People think their data is incorrect and they ask me to fix it. It's similar to fixing someone's computer when they think its broken.

Incredibly valuable but also somewhat unfulfilling in that you are rarely innovating/inventing like a SWE. There you are building tools that can change how people act/think. On the other hand, as a SWE/inventor you aren't desperately needed like you are as a DE. The needing can be nice...

Wouldn’t this avoid a lot of ad exposure that companies are currently enjoying? Why would they want to give that up by allowing you to use your llm instead?

You’ll never get to the moon on 4kb Apollo computers like that

this is why I don't like school. It squeezes everything you need to know into a semester and you feel dumb for not understanding it right away. At least I do. But if you just had a little more time it would be totally fine.

Nice job. It looks great - better than twitter did when it started out.

What do you use instead?

I think it's the single tool for many uses thing. It's somehow more satisfying for some chef's to use, love, and care for a single knife to do everything in the kitchen than to buy 100 different chopping products. Emacs is the same way for people who love to build their tool and use it for everything. If you don't feel that way you probably won't see the point which is fine.

There needs to be some reason for users to chose to run their code. Maybe if self hosted software was somehow even cheaper than cloud software? Or maybe they hear about their friend/cousin getting their data stolen by hosting it in the cloud? Or maybe its so much faster hosted at home that the cloud can't compete. Or especially if its easier to store it yourself than it is to store it in the cloud somehow. I wonder if self hosted software can compete on any of these metrics? - safety, cost, speed, convenience?

Maybe to us but to the next generation no. And that's who's gonna use it.

Theres no money in reducing the amount of cars on the road. There's no money in solving societies problems in general - who would pay for it?

He also uses the word alpha un-ironically in his tweets

how are they supposed to come to your aid through hostile territory? its so much easier to protect you when you are within the borders.

It was always pointed downhill because its not user-aligned. It's only a matter of time.

Its really not a good name for a band.. Why do you want your music to remind people of scrolling social media?

Seems fair since rich men caused most of the problems to begin with.

I can see this but the fact that the thought is so tempting makes it suspect.

feels like 1->N rather than 0-1. Which is just as good if not better in my book! But different.

Im curious to hear more about his startup. I can't find it online yet...

The decour in the TVA in Loki reminds me of 1950s visions of the future.
