I remember the prevailing opinion in 2008 was that not bailing out would have caused much worse problems. We'll never know I guess

Agree, this is now on my short list too :-)

There was an immense step up from 30 to 60.. I guess it stands to reason there would be more improvement past 60

I imagine it's not too different from eating a spoonful of raw cocoa powder

It looks like sodium is another step change on top of LiFePO4. I look forward to see it scale

I tried BG3 but found it strongly encourages savescumming and I got overwhelmed keeping track of the saved state tree

This seems to pretty much line up with what OP said.

This is terrifying. Who runs things like this open to the outside?

I have a cousin who has a certain fearlessness when it comes to home DIY projects. Unfortunately he could probably use a little more restraint, but on the whole it's an interesting quality that I noticed LLMs/coding agents help with quite a bit. They give me, an impostor syndrome type/overthinking type a certain confidence to move forward that really helps break into projects. I think this could probably be very effective in other domains like home improvement. And in case of my cousin, might also help avoid some missteps.

Hubs were valuable at our CS dept because you could sniff traffic easily with accurate timestamps

Well, it's like any engineering project, if there is no feedback or followup how is it possible they will be consistent?
