Next up. Stop taking showers people!

The original ftp dropbox comment was about usefulness rather than success IMO. They were saying why is this needed.

With the conraption here. It is not useless, sure, but that is not a high enough bar to use resources to manufacture it or for there to be a market for it. Other than someone mentioned geek consumerism.

The problem is the word "know" being overloaded.

First person know is belief. To some extent: this is just faith! Yes we have faith that the laws of physics wont change tomorrow, or we remember yesterday happened etc. Science tries to push that faith close to fact by verifying the fuck out of everthing. But we will never know why anything...

The other "know" is some kind of concept of absolute truth and a coincidence that what someone belives matches this. Whether that coincidence is chance or astute observations or in the paper's case: both.

It is a fascinating topic. I spent a few hours on it once. I remember vaguely that the logic is very configurable and you had a lot of choices. Like you choose law of excluded middle or not I think, and things like that depending on your taste or problem. I might be wrong it was 8 years ago and I spent a couple of weeks reading about it.

Also no suprise the rabbit hole came from Haskell where those types (huh) are attracted to this more.foundational theory of computation.

The scary thing is excellent advances in all the other AI/ML need to fake people: text to speech and back, yolo, video generation. The illusion might become the reality. We need a few generations to die (100 years time?) before we will shake of this need to even be human! Who is going to say no to a perfect memory implant. Now a never get dementia implant. And so on! Finally what is the cow even?

Wot. Everyone has an old throwaway?

That is great. How do you even handle the daily divergence that must happen due to micro decisions made by various APIs. For example I wont mention their name but one OpenAI compatiable provider doesn't fully work with OpenAI client and had various holes so you need to account for that. The other hard thing is just the fast pace of AI. What if the underlying concepts change!

Well done!

Depends what you mean by busy. I use the "free" designation option to plan work in my shared calendar. I am busy but I am also free for a meeting if needed. In server parlence this might be an async batch processing job.

Peope who do 0.8 hours work and collect a full time salary while playing golf and pretending they do 8 are rare I suspect.

This is probably devops. A single team talking full responsibility and swapping oncall-type shifts. These guys know their dogfood.

You want the defensive team to work on automating away stuff that pays off for itself in the 1-4 week timeframe. If they get any slack to do so!

Conkers are just cool things. Like unwrapping a present to get a perfect little gift.

Yes. Usually conkers were banned at school. So we had to play space invaders, for which you need a tennis ball not an Atari.

I might be doing the famous "just use ftp" to dropbox. But I highly doubt it for this product.

People are conflating the problem space and this solution.

This doesn't let you do deep work! Probably the opposite, it is a gimmick that will attract a nerd mob to your desk to ooh over it.
