Which country is this? So I can avoid it.

what foods would you stock up on?

You made the right choice. You will outlast OpenAi and Anthropic. They sell hallucinations and best guesses. The future can't be built on that. A good pilot who cares about safety and details, that can't be replaced with an LLM.

What types of apps are you using for Rust?

Which stack is that?

Any thoughts on the latest seasons of Doctor Who?

How did you all first learn about the original Numberwang? Netflix?

What type of work was it? Customer service/tech support? Software development?

Any thoughts on the "Framework Laptop 13 Pro"?

Did you buy it or show them a better way of doing it?

What are some of your favorite tools or services that you adopted in the past few years?

Do you have any active sites or social media with your recommendations?

(I never publish my recommendations because they seem to complicated for people. Like using 30 GB plan/$10/monthly from T-Mobile for data and then using Tello for $10 plan for voice/text. This would require a 2 esim/sim card phone. I am currently using a Moto G Power 2024 phone from eBay $90/new, which was better than the $200 slightly used Pixel 6a from Swappa. Most people would just save the hassle, get a Galaxy phone with a phone contract.)

Are these Chrome extensions? How did you learn to write them?

Which models and tools do you use to write and validate code?

Other than the price increases, any issues with Hetzner? Any alternatives you would recommend?

I just gave up on reading respectable news outlet like NY Times. I decided to just get it from "fringe" Youtube channels: Danny Haiphong, Dialogue Works with Nima, The Jimmy Dore Show. Recently, former CIA analyst, Larry Johnson, worked with Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali to vet a source saying Iran has 1 or 2 nuclear weapons. Let's see how long it will take the NY Times to avoid/deny/confirm that story.

> Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment where your access to information is limited to what Google’s synthetic text extruders deem relevant.

They mentioned AOL. Remember back when AOL bought Time Warner in a "merger of equals", but it really wasn't. Then this fear AOL will become your telephone company because AOL Instant Messenger was so popular? Then, MSFT won the browser wars and disbanded the IE team and came up with a whole .Net strategy to takeover the Web. Then came Firefox, Google, Web 2.0, etc. I remember Dave Winer writing how Google was making real stuff while Netscape was doing mostly hacks.

David is now Goliath. So I am all for Google taking over the Web. They will go bankrupt doing it. They couldn't even make Google+ a thing. What was that anyway? I lack a Ph.d to understand that thing.

A few startups there, a bunch of open e-commerce standards here, and bunch of market value gone after the AI bubble... Google (and many others) are going against Artists who can Code. Who knows what delights will come.

What was the most stressful part of that job?

How do you deal with the few minutes of downtime when you do kernel/OS/software upgrades?

How does AMC stay in business after all these years?

What would you buy if you were Apple and there were post-bubble/fire-sale prices on equipment and/or companies?

What did you think of G+? I never understood it, but what would you have done now differently than Google with G+ (using your hindsight and battle scars)?
