I agree with this, and I think we're partly conditioned to think this way. We (think we) can change ourselves, but we (believe we) can't change the world. I think it's OK to think bigger.

To make friends, people need a place to meet, to have time and means to be there, and a reason to go there semi-regularly. A lot of the design of society completely ignores these needs. These are solvable problems.


OTOH there’s no reason not to hire a small in house dev team to make bespoke software for any company.

Except for the token cost maybe.


It’s hard to know for sure what’s acceptable when it comes to working conditions in China. The information we get is incredibly limited. Most of what makes it through is propaganda.

That said, it wouldn’t surprise me if he does it all day long, 6 days per week.


Because of how very badly it works in practice. LLM writing is bad, there’s no interactivity (inference delay), it feels soulless, there’s no coherence in the generated text.

There should have been one good game by now. But there isn’t.


The wall is training data. Yes, we can make more and more of post training examples. No, we can never make enough. And there are diminishing returns to that process.

Please don’t get my hopes up. Adaptable people like me will outcompete hard in the post-engineering world. Alas, I don’t believe it’s coming. The tech just doesn’t seem to have what it takes to do the job.

Some related fields will be gone too. And the jobs which will remain will be impossible to get.

Exactly my thoughts lately ... Even by yesterday's standards it was already very difficult to land a job and, by tomorrow's standards, it appears as if only the very best of the best will be able to keep their jobs and the ones in a position of decision making power.


Disney lawyers would like to know your location.

Also, that Botox patent should be expiring by now, shouldn’t it?


The subject of copyright isn’t “ideas”. Even patents aren’t about mere ideas, because you have to demonstrate how the idea can be realized.

I think the F-150 is the most popular. I know many people don’t care about other’s subjective experiences, but it’s always such a mindfuck to my EU mind when I see trucks of this size.

Like my brain expects the car to finish, but there’s more car. Then it happens again and again in a quick succession. It confuses me, I shake it off. I look at the car again. The bed is empty, there’s one person in it.

Then I think „what’s the point”? And then I remember we grew up in different environments and have different expectations about how things should look like. And I still don’t fully get it.


Almost any large car will fit almost anywhere in the US, so you might as well get the car that serves even your most marginal use cases. Fuel costs are much lower than Europe, and Americans are relatively richer anyway.

From my experience, these trucks make much more sense on a road in the US. European roads are fairly small so these trucks look _even bigger_, whereas in the US everything is massive so the cars fit. Still, having to look _up_ to see the windshield is crazy and I hope it won't be normalized in the EU

They make little sense on any road though.

The f-150 is a bit smaller than its big brothers the f-250 and f-350 dually!

Yes, the judiciary is an independent branch in Italy, alongside the executive and the legislative.

I wonder if this is useful feedback to give? It would probably need to be more actionable. I’m hopeful the European open source community will take this invitation seriously.
