Google was definitely down today, despite no logged incidents.

What if we implement them but hide them deep in the settings or as experimental feature inside the hidden developer menu, behind multiple warning messages and password prompts? Only the very determined developers and advanced users would be able to unlock them. Then it's safe enough?

Will this work on Firefox Android? I recently wanted to try the printervention.app website to print from my phone over an OTG cable.

> The publicly traded miners have been adapting by diversifying into AI and high-performance computing, which offer more predictable revenue than mining bitcoin at a loss. Marathon Digital, Cipher Mining, and others have been building out data center capacity alongside their mining operations.

Yes, it does but lacks depth, the problem here is they are diversifying not pivoting and by virtue of game theory for each miner they stand to win on others exit, as the mining difficulty goes down, but this is creating a loss-loss situation.

Isn't AI the new hot thing, why are the miners still going after Bitcoin, when they can probably just use the same infra for AI and make more money, stay profitable.

We're almost there, just about to kill off the custom ROMs/OSes. All we have to do is wait for the Android project to go closed source.

That "Bam!" thing just brought Josh Starmer to mind. Anyone remember his book with the illustrated ML stuff? I used to watch his YouTube channel too. I really dig these kinds of explainers; they make learning so much more fun.

I agree to some extent, the average coders/programmers will definitely have a hard time finding jobs, but maybe they will start their own businesses instead.

We think of SQL as a high level language, an abstraction. We need to think about Code with LLMs similar to that as I still find LLMs to not be able to be completely autonomous at present. There will be the need to debug understand the underlying execution at a low level just like in SQL or any other high level language.

There will be a requirement for humans to find better ways than LLMs and sometimes we might find frugal and ingenious ways to do stuff for which LLMs had taken the average solutions found in their datasets.

One of the 3 I's of innovation is iteration, if we call iterating innovation as building knockoffs then we might as well dismiss all other successful products that were iterations.

I completely agree, LibreOffice feels really complete these days and for the most of my needs it works well. The only concern I have is when I send it to someone who might not be using LibreOffice but say MS 365, is it still going to display what I had built and the way I had intended.

It was inevitable, someone had to do it and I don't understand the awful fact that the West still lives in a bubble where it thinks that they are the only source of innovation in this world. There's a lot of innovation going on in the rest of the world too.

>Are they abandoning their dreams—and does that matter?

It definitely matters, ask any developing nation about the brain drain and you know the reasons why individuals do it, it's a net gain for them but a loss for their nation. Now take all those reasoning and apply to the brain drain within disciplines and domains. All disciplines and domains are important and need significant contribution to continuously innovate.

Even at an individual scale people should do what they like/or are naturally good at, only then they will be able to do great work.

> "Forming groups did not expand the cognitive abilities of humans. The famous ‘wisdom of the crowd’ that’s become so popular in the age of social networks didn’t come to the fore in our experiments"

If it were true wouldn't all democratic societies be in danger. Our whole society is based off the wisdom of the crowds.
