the older i get, the more i'm convinced the single most important trait that matters in your friends, coworkers, life partner, and kids - is high agency.

Why is there so much country music about farming and rap music about cooking crack but no songs about software engineering?

I think the aesthetics of long posts are horrible and the aesthetics of the highlights tab are even worse

engineers who not-so-secretly wish they were open source all-stars instead of contributing to a business's bottom line will spend weeks abstracting something and packaging it up instead of just copy pasting some boilerplate and spending 2 minutes tweaking it.

once again it needs to be said: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT AI COULD DESTROY THE WORLD. YOU MADE IT UP IN YOUR HEAD
This isn't EA vs e/acc. It's Longtermists vs. Utilitarians. Longtermists are against coin flip bets to double or destroy the world. Risk neutral Benthamites like SBF are for them. If you think the p(doom) from superintelligence is non-trivial but the upside makes it worth accelerating anyway, you're closer to the EA, Singerite ideal of a sociopathic utility maxer. In this sense, SBF and Altman are more the same than different. They're the true EAs marinating in the ego death of abstract utility calculations, while the Longtermists are the true human loving civilizationalists. Civilizationalists understand the intergenerational value of growth and development, but for that very reason reject the myopic, high time preference logic behind games of Russian Roulette. To be a literal accelerationist, in contrast, is to be the 17 year old in their dad's car who, in a vain attempt to impress their friends, ends their life wrapped around a telephone poll.

Satya Nadella learning from his lawyers that despite investing $13B into OpenAI, they have zero information rights or say in the day-to-day management, and will continue to get their information on X like the rest of us

This outlook is mind boggling to me It assumes that the amount of productive software development is somehow fixed and when the robots start doing it there will be none left for humans Rather than the obvious answer that we'll just be doing way, way more software development

The National Fisheries Development Board building of Hyderabad, India, is in the shape of a fish. What other enterprises and institutions would be better if they were housed in buildings themed after themselves?

Any way I can make PHP 8.1 LESS strict? I upgraded from PHP 7.3 and I get a lot of errors cause it's super strict about undefined values etc. I know it'll help me code properly but benefit of PHP was I could code like a cowboy, and PHP 8.1 doesn't let me :P

if you dedicate 10 serious hours a week to a hobby you will most likely easily be in the top 1 or .1% for that hobby in a few years.
