- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 week ago:
The other thing you’ll need is for compliance and risk management frameworks (e.g. CMMC, ISO27001, CIS, etc.) to fully embrace Linux controls and environments. As of right now, it’s a patchwork full of holes and if you need to demonstrate compliance, it’s likely to be a lot more challenging running Linux workstations.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 week ago:
It’s such a shame to see high-performance computing and gaming more broadly become largely unaffordable. Hell, prior to the DRAM shortage, the current-generation game consoles were already MORE EXPENSIVE than they were at launch. And it’s just going to get worse.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t hate AI. However, I:
- Am concerned about the labor displacement it may cause–though I am skeptical it will be as widespread as currently feared.
- Am convinced that the massive, circular investment in this technology has produced an economic bubble that will burst in the coming years. Because we have so little insight into private credit markets, we don’t know to what degree retail and commercial banks will be exposed, and thus can’t anticipate the potential damage to the broader economy.
- Am fatigued (but unsurprised) that the US government is not considering thoughtful regulation that anticipates the disruption that AI is likely to cause.
- Am cognizant of its current limitations.
- Do not currently believe that AGI is imminent or even guaranteed. I think elites peddling this notion may be captured by highly motivated reasoning. In some cases, it seems like a bit of a belief system.
- Comment on U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen 3 weeks ago:
I’ll stick with my boring, boomer sedans. I genuinely don’t enjoy driving SUVs and light trucks–primarily due to the blind spot issue and high hoods that the article describes.
