Typing this from a e/os/ phone.

Alternatives exist. They just need signifiant adoption.

Wtf, I have been using my x.y.name domain for everything, haven't been notified of this.

Should I rush to reserve y.name so my email address and personal website can stay online?

More to the point it's that the server has to retrieve and massage data from several docker services to retrieve the full context needed to process the request

Very similar story, in 1982: got paid at 15 to create a prospect database for a small business. What now would be called a CRM.

The enterprise had to declare me as an apprentice for 'trade jobs', as it was against the law to give a regular salary to someone under 16.

I remember my first paycheck with deductions for retirement, which pissed me off quite a bit.

Pretty much all tech companies and universities had a drop-in ftp server where anyone could, anonymously, put and retrieve files. It was a collective 'pastebin' useful to exchange information with clients and partners.

On the ftp server of the company I worked for, someone had put a cracked copy of our software for their colleagues to use.

Or I guess the kid can set it if they're smart enough to reinstall the OS or spawn a VM. I'm sure there will be online resources to help them that kids know how to share

Or, as I like to put it: I need to activate my personal transformers on my inner embeddings space to figure what is it I really want. And still, quite often, I think in terms of the programming language I'm used to and the library I'm familiar with.

So, to really create something new that I care about, LLMs don't help much.

They are still useful for plenty of other tasks.

But in this occurrence, they are public services, under the public administration's control.

Successful socialism if you want.

In Europe, more and more public transportation is free, or at least very heavily subsidized

The costs are covered by local taxes, to curb on individual vehicle use and reduce congestion. After some hiccups, some cities manage good economies of scale where everybody, including the environment, wins.

As for housing and food, while there the incentive structure is more fragile, at least, we have homeless shelters that are free, and once again, everybody wins: the costs are very low, and cities are far safer and cleaner.

In my vision, it's the opposite of ad blocker, it's something that generates non existent traffic and views beyond what I would have done.

It is not entirely true that no one cares about quality. I'd like to stay optimistic and believe that those who are demanding on the quality of their production will acquire sufficient market differentiation to prevail.

After all, this has been Apple strategy since the 80's, and, even though there were some up's and down's, overall it's a success.

I disagree. Giving fake info adds noise to the mechanism, makes it useless. Ultimately I'm inclined to believe that privacy through noise generation is a solution.

If I ever find some idle time, I'd like to make an agent that surfs the web under my identity and several fake ones, but randomly according to several fake personality traits I program. Then, after some testing and analysis of the generated patterns of crawl, release it as freeware to allow anyone to participate in the obfuscation of individuals' behaviors.

My way of phrasing this: I need to activate my personal transformers on my inner embeddings space to really figure what is it that I truly want to write.

I'm more and more convinced top execs are most likely to be advantageously replaced by LLM.

They navigate such complex decision spaces, full of compromises, tensions, political knots, that ultimately their important decisions are just made on gut feelings.

Replace the CEO with an LLM whose system prompt is carefully crafted and vetted by the board of directors, with some adequate digital twin of the company to project it's move, I'm sure it should maximize the interest of the shareholders much better.

Next up: apply the same recipe to government executive power. Couldn't be much worse than orange man.

If anything, they'd want something like Mossadegh back, which is not to please Trump at all
