This is an interesting data point amidst the anxiety about AI taking all of the jobs. Even OpenAI cannot leverage AI to do product management.

> It's painfully boring and not relaxing at all.

It is a common misconception that the purpose of meditation is to relax. My experience is that meditation is very difficult but has worthwhile benefits for those around me after I meditate.

It does not have to be either one. Zuckerberg is simply not a great leader, apparently. This is not surprising. Few people can run big companies. There is a huge spectrum between "dimwitted" and "great CEO".

OSS will not die.

Yes, if your programming language/environment is weak.

As a Floridian, I apologize for the 2000 election. But we have a much better system now. We have paper ballots that are scanned. We have an auditable fallback for untrustworthy machines. There is no reason other states cannot have the same.

No, it never occurred to me. This has prompted a fun discussion with my wife. I suggested I could grow some stem cells into a skin that would match the color of my ears. She suggests that I should not have these ideas.

The modern world is funny. I have a hearing impairment, tinnitus, and use both AirPods and less visible hearing aids to hear people better. I only wear the AirPods around people who know me well enough to know that I am wearing them so that I can better hear them. I don’t want strangers to think I don’t want to hear them or that I am being rude. When I am out among strangers, I wear the less visible hearing aids.

But a funny consequence is that because my modern, less visible, hearing aids are connected to my phone, I am often listening to podcasts or news and nobody can tell. So sometimes a stranger will say something and I have to pause the audio and ask them to repeat themselves.

I am wondering what social norms will be like once everyone has less visible electronics in their ears.

But what if I want to access my cameras remotely but not have their manufacturer access them?

I encourage my competitors to refactor a working codebase into a different language.

> capable of accessing the sum total of human knowledge

No. Lots of knowledge is still behind paywalls or not yet digitized. Some models have been trained on books that we cannot search or download.

There were plenty of reruns. Not as much content back then as we have now.

But is it a local disk? The post above says that one uses Chrome Remote Desktop.

The web needs a HIG.

All of these people who keep saying that webapps can replace desktop applications were simply never desktop power users. They don’t know what they don’t know.

The existence of well maintained and clean public restrooms and hooligans is a shibboleth for culture. Some cultures are simply superior.

> You now "own" the movie (or TV show), not a "license".

You do not "own" the movie. You still only have the right to view your personal copies. You cannot broadcast it. You cannot charge others to watch it.

Yes. I do mean designing software to make it testable.

The code that uses that value can be run in an environment where that value can be controlled.

I have written code that does this same thing and built a test harness for it.

> It will not be caught in development testing — who runs a test for 50 days?

You don't have to run the system for 50 days. You can simulate the environment and tick the clock faster. Many high reliability systems are tested this way.

If the U.S. implements a draft, would we first implement exit visas?

I never said that AI should replace all teachers. AI can help provide more teaching labor (more teaching capacity). Every child can have a personalized tutor in addition to human teachers.
