I'm a web engineer working on interesting problems that have a positive impact. I'm also good at compressing way too much information into short sentences :)

This is fun and games, but wait until an agents finds this and does the most misaligned thing with it in order to fold paper clips.

> Because a CPU inside a language model clearly wasn't cursed enough, I decided the prudent thing would be to give it a filesystem too.

Love the spirit :)

In case they run out elements in 2032, there's still a near infinite room by creating molecules :)

Interesting division you make there, I go to both "real", higher end restaurants and "low grade" pub restaurants. For me, the the reason is the same, convenience, laziness and lack of my expertise and willingness to cook.

Obviously I can judge a place based on the quality of service and food, but that's not the reason I've gone there in the first place.

I've done this after evaluating some "ready made please deploy me" solutions. Ended up picked Rust with Axum and it's crazy fast, code is super simple, but really powerful.

Why do people go to restaurants and pay significantly more when they can just buy the ingredients and cook at home? Those damn chefs make my food in 15 minutes.

That's partially why Burial's first album brought such a fresh air to the music scene. He didn't use a DAW, but a plain, boring audio editor Sony Sound Forge and adjusted his samples until the groove and the tones felt right.

I've also seen produces complain that the default BPM is 120 so they start there and later realize that it should have been changed. Minor annoyance, but it reveals the importance of defaults.

Extinction means zero humans left, which is highly unlikely as we are a very resilient species. A global collapse is more likely sometime in the future, but even then some countries and communities might just keep going on.

> and don't solve actual problems

You can have a lot of beef with react, but this is the lamest one. Of course it solves many problems, that's why it landed at the top. It took the C out of MVC, it made view rendering deterministic and simplified event management. It also stayed somewhat stable on the API side over the years.

Zero sense for Tesla? They've just pulled off one of the most impressive marketing stunts in the automotive industry, that clearly has some sense :)

I don't understand why I can't just walk around the museum and discover things for myself.

I can't even navigate to the devices and inventions section with a single click on the listing page. The 3D scene is really well done, it would be nice if you just let people walk around freely instead of animating the camera.

And I also think you shouldn't automatically display the image in 2D, breaks my immersion immediately.

I thought the same, but players will probably push back and just don't sign up. You can't charge AAA prices for only streaming the game.

By the time we get there, AI can probably be able to recreate the game based on the video alone. I think we are already there, the fidelity of it might vary.

What will probably happen is that frontier models will lobotomize models to refuse reverse engineering. That will buy some time, however with open weight models, some will find the way to fine tune the models to support RE if magically everybody agrees on the consensus that RE should be blocked.

I think it's a ridiculous amount of money they got, but we don't know what's in the pitch deck. Investors are also blind to most of these things and take the pedigree of the founders above else.

You can replicate any fitness app in no time and you will make close to $0. Brand recognition matters a lot.
