- Comment on Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats 2 weeks ago:
For the FAANG companies, they do it in part so they can then turn around and make those flashy claims you see in headlines like “95% of ours devs use [insert AI product they are trying to sell] daily” or “60% of our code base is now ‘written’ by our fancy AI”.

Maybe we will lose low effort artists but gain great music by passionate people.
This is such a bizarre take.
I wouldn’t characterize musicians who depend on some financial return as “low effort” at all. Almost all the best musicians, going back to classical music and beyond, were dependent on their music as a source of income.
If anything, the people who do music as a side hobby are usually more “low effort” than those who actually make it their main career. And if artists can’t make money of their music anymore, we’ll really only get music from rich people who can afford the lessons, instruments, recording studio, production, etc. as an expensive hobby rather than a source of income.

This isn’t really an answer to the ‘universal negativity’, but for a somewhat reasonable analysis of the pros and (surprisingly high number of) cons as well as some interesting grey areas, there’s an old LWT episode on this topic: youtu.be/AJm8PeWkiEU

- Comment on If someone evil want to murder a lot of people, couldn't they just add prions to meat and slowly infect everyone with Prion Diseases? 5 weeks ago:
Essentially, no one uses prions as a weapon because if you’re going to carry out a bioterror attack, there are much easier to acquire and more effective agents.
When I saw your long comment, I was really hoping for some reassurance around how many safeguards would prevent what OP described. Now I’m twice as worried. 😥

Wow, that is an insanely impressive engineering feat. Stuff like this is why I still love the internet. Thank you for sharing it!

Maybe that’s why it says, “at first.” They couldn’t find it until it got loud. :)
- Comment on How to prepare for future home server upgrade? 2 months ago:
Oh, nice! Thanks for explaining that. I didn’t realize there was a way to run a cluster without HA.
- Comment on How to prepare for future home server upgrade? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure how well that works if the cluster is only designed to be temporary, since removing a productive node from a cluster is a bit risky
Good callout. Just did some reading on the concept of maintaining a quorum, which I didn’t know about. Definitely need to be careful if I go with that approach, but it does sound interesting! I’m not entirely opposed to leaving the old laptop as a node and then using it for experimental stuff or maybe running just one specific standalone service on it after moving the critical stuff to the new server.
- Comment on How to prepare for future home server upgrade? 2 months ago:
Sounds pretty straightforward. Thanks for the info!
- Comment on How to prepare for future home server upgrade? 2 months ago:
That’s a fair point, but I kind of want to tinker around on the laptop without worrying too much about breaking things and figure out what all I actually want to self-host. That will help me figure out what sort of hardware I need.

Unfortunately sometimes it’s really hard to avoid. I’ve been to restaurants that don’t even have physical menus. You could probably find a menu on their website, but not always.
