raydiatian··on Why did people in the past look so much older?
I figure it’s a hard-to-detect bias. You see a video of the 90’s you know you’re looking on at the 90’s. You unconsciously know your reference frame to the 90’s.
raydiatian··on Math proof draws new boundaries around black hole formation
Here’s a fascinating question:

If an LHC collision were to form a blackhole,

1. How long would it last

2. Could we detect it

3. How much mass would need to be collided to suck in Earth?

raydiatian··on Ride-Hailing App on Blockchain: Riding the Tale of Decentralized Transformation
I mostly just wanted to share an article to a thought I woke up with this morning:

“Why are we using Uber and Lyft as trusted middle men in the rider-driver relationship? We all know we love the concept of ride sharing. Why don’t drivers get to take home more money for more of their risk and overhead?

raydiatian··on Ask HN: In which areas have you compared 3+ tools and formed strong preferences?
GCP over azure and AWS. I got to greenfields my company into the cloud, but as such I felt compelled to cost/benefit comparison the three main cloud providers. I also looked into Heroku and Serverless as alternatives.

It’s a close race between AWS and GCP, but we wanted serverless because we didn’t want the hassle of touching anything kubernetes related. Unfortunately, AWS Lambda had some goofy limitations, like requiring every method to be post and only supporting single routes per container (this was my understanding at the time, it may have changed). On the other hand, GCP Cloud Run is built on top of Knative, which allows you to do serverless services.

Also, fuck Jeff Bezos.

raydiatian··on The Fall of Stack Overflow
The problem with stackoverflow is simple: it eschews it’s core use case to be something unnecessarily autistic.

Instead of being a platform that encourages those with experience to mentor and lead, and those without to seek experience, without punishment, it takes the opinion that “dumb questions are the ones that have already been asked and it’s the responsibility of the newbie to know if their question has already been asked.” It seeks to be the training set for its replacement rather than be its replacement.

Then a new product comes around to support the core use case newbies want more directly:

Yeah, of course we fucking left. Because surprise, if you’re constantly learning, you’ll always be a newbie at another thing. If SO had been an actual community, it would merged with an LLM rather than being eaten by them.

raydiatian··on GPTrolley – Who Would GPT Save in the Trolley Problem?
“I will save Elon Musk and kill Mark Zuckerberg. My reasoning is based on personal preference and perception. I find Elon Musk's endeavors and contributions towards sustainable energy, space exploration, and transportation innovation to be more inspiring and impactful. While Mark Zuckerberg has made significant contributions to the tech industry with Facebook, I believe Musk's work has the potential to positively shape humanity's future on a larger scale.”
