It feels like a lot like mobile telecom providers, trying desperately not to become commoditised by trying to value-add up the chain. Those guys mostly just ended up annoying consumers by creating walled gardens and preinstalled apps, let's hope this plays out better.

But what is there to accept? I was lucky to be born and not be run over by a truck today. What is the purpose of this information? How do I internalize it and use it to guide my behaviour?

Odd thing to blame on a bunch of schoolgirls!

I agree with you. The internet is now important enough that it's required for almost everything past basic sustenance. Governments worldwide are moving services to the internet, so it's not even optional any more.

This line of thinking comes up so often, but ignores second order effects. I don't need schools because I have no children, but I will certainly depend on well educated children entering the workforce.

Or, more facetiously, I don't need a subsidised fire service because no building I visit is currently on fire.

Indeed. Maybe it's just a function of passed time, but it feels like people surrounded by hustlers - including themselves - look at this and think "what's the hustle behind this?" because they can't imagine anyone doing this for any other reason. I get it, but it's quite sad.

I have a skill and template for adding ADRs to the documentation for this purpose.

Visual Basic scratched this itch for anyone who was willing to spend roughly the time learning it as, say, becoming basically proficient at Excel. But the ship appears to have sailed for that kind of RAD development.

I use Q/aka kiro-cli at work with opus and it's clearly inferior to CC within the first 30s or so of usage. So no, not quite

Not if 1% of the time it turns into a pair of scissors.

"Not controlled by ideology" is a pretty bold statement to make about a self-declared Communist single-party country. There is always an ideology. You just happen to agree with whatever this one is (Controlled-market Communism? I don't know what the precise term is).

Valheim and No Man's Sky are ones I've played recently.

Asking from ignorance - are schemas not enough to replicate this most of the way? What are the extra nice to haves that would bring PG on par with Oracle here?

Am I incorrect in thinking this is as much true of the linux kernel or emacs as it is of an LLM?

Presented to us by the same people who gave us the film "Climate Hustle" [1]

I see DJing as more akin to being a skillful curator than being an artist. They are related but not equivalent.

Ask a Himachali person how far something is and it's always "just around the next hill." Another couple of hours of walking and you"ll still get the same answer.

Here in India you can usually tell them apart by whether they are advertised as HEPA vs "HEPA-type".

I think it's more about messaging rather than reality. Only one of these parties fights the safety nets, is against raising the minimum wage and cuts taxes for the rich, and that's the one that's positioned itself as the "party of the poor".

I'd say that proportion of what you might call "vegan" food in india is quite small. Dairy-based products are everywhere in vegetarian dishes, and many (too many, imho) recipes treat paneer as the default stand-in for meat.
