This is such a cool concept. props to you for building it.

It is also close to impossible run any node ecosystem without getting a wall of warnings.
You are an extreme outlier for putting in the work to fix all warnings
collection of my notes and thoughts on software
It has created this dog eat dog system of crass negligence everywhere. All the security risks of signed tokens and auth systems are meaningless now that we are piping cookies, and everything else through AI browsers who seemingly have inifinite attack surface. Feels like the last 30 years of security research has come to naught
In my own petty way. I consider this my pushback against a system that is pushing oppressive systems onto me. But really, I'm partially glad this system works and partially annoyed that this is the cost.
Medicine being better delivered, all the research that has been accelerated because of reducing compute and storage costs, the list is infinite.
If that part of the job is automated away. I wonder how the talent and skill for finding those exploits will evolve.
But how is the internet economy supposed to function without these micro transactions, in the form of ads. A lot of the abundance in software and technology we've seen in the past decade is possible only through this mechanism.
There was no easy for people who wanted to get something done in a simple interface.
I think it's the best of every world. Self contained, with an install script. Can bring up every dependent service needed all in one command. Even your example of "a simple script" has 5 different expectations.
Fiscal rules are sort of man made.
LLMs still beat a clarifier, because they're able to extract more signals than a text embedding.
It's very difficult to beat an LLM + prompt in terms of semantic extraction.
Not that working class has anything wrong with it. Most of us are. Preferring to do white collar is perfectly alright. Considering the emotional toil rote work has on you
I once got into an argument with a lead architect about it and it's really easy to twist the conversation into "don't you think we'll reach that scale?" To justify complexity.
The bottom line is for better or worse, the cloud and micro services are keeping a lot of jobs relevant and there's no benefit in convincing people otherwise
And then the article goes on to explain, how historically governments have always redistributed wealth from rich to the poor.
The wealthy were incentivized to provide for the bottom of the population only because there was need for labour for the wealth to stay alive. but then, going by the article's analogy when there is no need for labour, there is no need for the bottom 75% as well.
I already can see the slant that, this whole article is going to be about. Capital holders are going to be the only people matter. Everyone else is trivial. i.e. the top 5% who hold 80% of all wealth in the world.
>Consider Qatar as a point of comparison. Migrant workers make up roughly 94% of the country’s workforce, yet only Qatari citizens, who make up the remaining 6%, are eligible to receive most government welfare benefits.
My father was one among those 94%. Stayed away from my family for more than a decade, only visiting us for 2 months every 2 years. Leaving with tears in his eyes every time. Qatar shouldn't be a point of comparison for capitalism. With no way for naturalization, a strong monarchy, and Labor oppression. I think it's the opposite of free trade capitalism as preached by the west.
What I got from this article was. More money for me, and none for the peasants, but that's okay because they or their work don't matter anyway.
is this a company specifically focusing on indigenous growth product. or is that irrelevant to their core product?
Anybody doing science at a University is definitely doing it at a significant discount to their salary (phds are paid ~$50K at the high end) at a private company.
But, having spent a couple of years in the privacy space. People choose convenience over privacy 10/10 times. No amount of cookie banners, privacy notices and user consent are going to change that. There are so many cases of data abuse by EVs, Governments, etc. once you dig a little deeper than the surface
My brother talked with his cab driver on Spanish. And is able to understand Spanish at a much better level. All from only using Duolingo for a year. So it seems like, it does work. At least with anecdata
Without that effort and filters, We're going to have a deluge of poorly inspired, sloppy content.
My brain just switches off if I realize something is AI generated. be it blogs, videos or audio.
Similar to what ended up happening with china and manufacturing.
