Stop arguing about whether AI ruins craft. Fix the incentive structures so that increased productivity buys humans time, not disposability. Then see what kind of craft emerGe


Unfortunately it seems the incentive structures are ultimately set by global competition and the security dilemma. So short of total world disarmament and UBI, fundamentally the incentive will always be to work harder than your opponent to preserve your own security.


I don't understand why people who are clearly not the ICP have the urge to comment. I think that market will prove whether it's a good thing.


Actually this is a place that is open to anyone's opinion - and that makes sense. People from border areas with the one of the discussion can give alternative insights. Of course digging relevant ones out of 1k comments are a challenge.


I don't often trust tech opinions, but when I do, it is those from the insane clown posse



Not really, the Brits underestimated the Germans and Central Europe in general was sacrificed on the altar of presumingly keeping the war out of the West.


Why such irrelevant comment? You have the crystal ball or all seeing eye or what? Read the study before making such comments


I agree, eventual consistency is many times an UX/CX problem


CX?



Isn't buffered log writer prone to error (read not flushing to output) in case of ie. Premature container termination?


Yes, as he says:

> The downside of this approach is that if the system crashes without a chance to flush the buffer, the last lines might not have been written and may be lost.


Generally good thinking, but few "real world" notes

A) you first need to run the service to get any customers

B) this might take long

C) you maybe don't want / can't get VC money at this stage

D) you maybe are not the most advanced dev who can properly utilitize s3 from I/O perspective, getting you to higher costs than possible

E) there might be a time period between introducing the service and getting traction which yields enough feedback, so you can start adding more business features

F) when you are burning your own money, you are more senstive to the cost side - which is not ultimately wrong

Just my 2c


Yeah - happy user of this one for years :)


If it would be EU sponsored NGO doing this, you would argue it's a department of truth proxy wouldn't you?


Of course. I assume there are concerned citizens in the EU can do this. Why does the government need to get involved in this?


You're being silly. To take an extreme scenario, if the KGB is financing entities spouting non-sense in various publications, you expect the US/CIA to just take it lying down? :-)

It's part of intelligence/counter-intelligence, you have to control the narrative because the average citizen isn't well informed enough and will just end up believing what the other party tells them... because they're the only ones saying anything.

Private individuals can do this, but governments have been doing this too, since the beginning of time (and of governments).


So the Brexit to EU is like KGB to US? Why do you want to keep UK inside EU then?


I'm not keeping anything, anywhere. The UK can do whatever it wants, as far as I care.

I was just doing a reductio ad abusrdum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum) to show you that your logic was faulty.


You didn't. I proved your RU-US example did not fit in the context of UK-EU.


You proved how? Why would the EU not be allowed to publish things proving that what the UK newspaper articles are false?

Is there some sort of legal principle I'm missing that says that government entities are not allowed to defend themselves from lies?
