👽 Paul Webb The U.S. is in such a sorry state that other countries are moving to open-source to avoid running government infrastructure on American-made software techradar.com/pro/... While this makes sense, it's also quite telling.

🦇 Arr Just read a heading on hackernews: "making social "social" again". This site here is what makes social media "social", instead of corporate, again. (But media is technically just text, so not media, but social text, at its best, I guess.)

Zero Edge Disappointing how easily duped our politicians are: "oh we aren't price fixing its an algorithm that controls that", "oh were not tailoring search results its an algorithm that controls that". Not saying the full truth which is that the "algorithm" is modified until it produces the results they want. If they understood even a fraction of how the modern world works they would ask more pointed questions. I just keep thinking of all the embarrassing hearings with top tech CEOs where they are essentially lied to and they still don't realize it..

🏒 Lucian Marin It's year 5174. Brain researchers discover that neurons inside the brain work by quantum entanglement. A couple years later they develop a device that makes brain to brain communication possible. Now humans power a thinking network that's superior to AI, the quantum brain. Warriors who seek to destroy the technology move out to a nearby galaxy because communication is slowed down by the speed of light. A intergalactic war starts between AI, peaceful humans and the warriors. Peaceful humans continue to pursuit technological advancements to defend themselves from both AI and warriors.

Zero Edge I've never liked the whole "monkeys on a typewriter" thing because technically it isn't true. An infinite amount of monkeys given an infinite amount of time would never write Shakespeare because no matter what, a monkey cannot type in perfect randomness, meaning no matter how many or how long it would never type Shakespeare. If you made a device and trained a monkey to type perfectly random.. yeah, sure.

🏒 Lucian Marin Can ChatGPT write Shakespeare? In a world of AI generated text, Subreply might be the only places where people actually think.

Zero Edge Does "tech debt" exist if the development cycle has a clear ending? Seems like tech debt is only relevant when you plan on updating a system indefinitely.

Samuel M-squire I like the idea of this community. The problem with content is that few people are willing to pay for good quality, well researched, tech news, so I pay for medium and use Hacker news and then spend some time on lobsters occasionally. I would like to read tech blogs, so if you have any recommendations, I would appreciate them.

🏒 Lucian Marin I'm using a Python stack: Falcon as web framework, Django for ORM, PostgreSQL, PgBouncer to keep DB connections hot, Gunicorn for async and multithreading HTTP requests, sockets for connections between each stack component to reduce latency. I pay vultr.com/?ref=894... for a high frequency Intel server to reduce latency even further.

Martijn My VPN decided to die on me. Not even hitting 1 Mbps. This is definitely not what I'm paying them for.
Fred Richards These days there are a ton of different options. I really like tailscale, or zerotier. Tailscale uses wireguard, some very interesting technology.

🏀 Pr trying out subreply again: Hashicorp IPO'ed today. I do like a lot of their tools and services, but I feel like it's a sign that building software has become a bit too complicated to necessitate all these tools to scale tech services. Does hashicorp's (et. al competitors) services really save organizations large enough to utilize them enough headcount to justify the hefty price?

🏒 Lucian Marin Firefox brand is weak, it's associated with IE era and it's dropping market share like crazy. Mozilla brand got a nice refresh, it's trusted, it's associated with privacy and they got new good products that need to carry Mozilla brand. It should be Mozilla Suite for a new internet age: Mozilla Browser, Mozilla VPN, Mozilla Monitor and so on. This way the browser will be their main product, it will have internal focus and probably gain back the market share.
🦇 Arr Since 50 % of users don't know what a browser is, let's call it Mozilla Internet. The last rename of Firefox is now Firefox "Quantum" was cited on tech pages a lot, though.
