Munger is just one man. His experience isn't everything. Ditto for Musk.

I think of Musk as a specialist. He has glaring weakness in the social realm that he never really done much to resolve. That's why he flailing around with Twitter. It's also holding him back at other companies. If your to-go tool is to yell at subordinates to do nearly impossible or impossible things, that's pretty inefficient. At least that is my impression of Musk's management style.

I don't know about Mr. Munger, but if I were to study architecture, I would maybe consider taking classes, maybe go on trips to see buildings and develop my own taste to augment my own architectural education. Design a few buildings, get some feedback.

<< why would it be lucrative?

Scarcity of some knowledge. Not all knowledge exists on SO. You are right about the popular stuff, but the niche stuff will be like everything else niche, harder to get and thus more expensive. COBOL is typically used as an example of this, but COBOL was at least documented. I am saying this, because, while I completely buy that there will be executives who will attempt to do this, it won't be so easy to rewrite it all like Jassy from Amazon claims ( or more accurately, it will be easy, but with exciting new ways for ATMs, airlines and so on to mess with one's day).

<< The person paying would consider whether they'd get locked in

I want to believe a rational actor would do that. It makes sense. On the other hand, companies and people sign contracts that lock them in all the time to all sorts of things and for myriad of reasons including, but not limited to being wined and dined.

Again, I think you are right about the trend ( as it will exacerbate already existing issues ), but wrong about the end result.
This is a misunderstanding.
The the mind is not wholly private and subjective, its objectively quantifiable. Dualism ended a long time ago, and psychology is a materialistic science.
The article is doing profiling on x86-64. There is no FMOV. Floating point on x86-64 is done in the SSE or AVX (xmm, ymm) registers loaded with MOVD/Q which has basically the same addressing modes as any of the usual GPR loads/moves.
In any case in optimized code, something like a scalar clone is inlined and would not be a consistent accountable and localizable operation (and may even be optimized away).
We still use real lumber today. And modern building materials technology is far ahead of whatever was available in the 1920s. Give me the lowest price house built to code in 2024 over the lowest price 1920s house anyday. Especially in neighborhoods with underground utilities (far less chance of power outages in storms).

Plumbing, electrical, insulation, foundation, HVAC, communications, will all perform far better.
My philosophy is that's fine, as long as I get a terraform module that sets up the infra for me. Knowing how to glue the pieces together is often the vast majority of the effort.
Again, not true. There's many services like the internet archive that do not operate to make a profit. Lots of open source also fits this bill. The absolutism of the quote is just overly cynical. On the other hand, if the company is VC funded I would say this is generally true but it also dismisses basically all of non-commercial open source. How are you the product when you use debian?
I think social data tracking and categorization reached a point of saturation leading to diminishing returns. As a result, data companies that relied on this to target advertising audience are rolling us premium SaaS plans to de-risk their revenue streams from this problem.

How psychology deals with meta cognition (thinking about thinking) is correlate it with objective measures related to the phenomenon, (performance accuracy, changes in BOLD response in task fMRI.

> Kagi is great because SEO cargo cult haven’t caught up yet

This seems like a hard problem to solve, the incentive to be top ranked is just so high. What could be the solution? Can AI even help? Do we need to go back to manual curation after all? I remember in the 90s there were manually curated lists of websites, something like a website directory. At this point I'd rather get recommended a list of websites from a reddit user than relying on Google's ranking.

And I bought it (a t-shirt). The whole thing is just incredible. It’s impossible to really convey the scale and the quality of the game without playing it.

I think that's great if you prefer to operate a service like that. Operating for one customer vs many can often have different requirements, and that's where it can make sense to start splitting things out, but if the service can be built that way then that's the best of both worlds!
This reminds me of Sentry. This podcast interview had an interesting discussion of self-hosting: https://www.flagsmith.com/podcast/sentry

> In terms of how much thought and design you put into the self-hosted story, this is one of the things that we've been slowly realizing that every time the product gets more complex and the infrastructure required that run it gets more complex. As soon as you include a time series database, then that's adding another ratchet up of complexity if you're self-hosting it, but more outside of docker name. How much did you have that in your mind when you were designing the platform?

> I would say that's changed a lot over time. Early on, Sentry’s goal was to adapt to infrastructure. We use Django. We’ve got support for different databases out of the box, SQLite, Postgres, MySQL. MySQL is going all this other stuff at some point too. We had that model early on. ... Our whole goal, and this is still the goal of the company, we want everybody to be able to use Sentry. That's why the open source thing is also critical for us. Adapting infrastructure is one way to do that. Now, we changed our mind on that because what that turned into is this mess of, we have to support all these weird edge cases, and nobody is informed about how to do things. We're like, “That's all dead. We only support Postgres.” Key value is still a little bit flexible. It's hard to mess up key values. We're like, “You can write an adapter. We only support Redis for this thing. We use a technology called Cortana. We only support ClickHouse for this thing.” We're over this era of, “Can we adapt it because it looks similar?” and it made our lives so much better.

Going to Ferguson.com and ordering a replacement capacitor to have on hand for $30 works even better.

It's not saying the violin IS "merely an analogy for how a double base works", just that a violin can be used as a simple analogy to somebody who understands how a violin works but doesn't know what a double bass is.

Comparing similar things is literally what an analogy is, the fact that in these two cases (radio/light and string instruments) the things being compared are very similar it doesn't make them the same thing, nor does it make it not an analogy.
In my locale, the only thing that matters is passing the code inspection. I have friends who have done major remodels, including additions.

You either pay a flat fee, or you have to deal with the added baggage of considering that each search costs you a very real half a cent or whatever.

Would you use your search engine more if every search query were an implicit microtransaction? Would you use it more or less if you had to consider that your first search of the month cost $3, or if it's the last day of the month and you need to search for something but you have to wait to not incur a full month's fee.

This is one of those arguments that sounds reasonable but isn't. Nothing but a flat fee structure makes sense for something you'll be doing hundreds if not thousands of times a month. And let's be real: if you're the kind of person who could go a full month with no web searches, you don't want or need what Kagi is offering.

Because any reasoning behind drinking is seen as an excuse to be a drunk.

You're self medicating with alcohol. That's not the worst thing in the world. It helps you. It sounds almost like a miracle drug for you. I don't see why you'd rather switch to benzos.

Just understand, alcohol is addictive and tolerance can be built up, so you're dancing with the devil and you'd better adhere to a set of rules. One drink a day (or every 4 hours or whatever the schedule is to keep you from losing your mind), period, and if it stops working as well, quit for a week or two, anxiety be damned. Also, understand that you're making a trade off. There are health impacts of alcohol, and you're accepting those as worthwhile for the benefit you get. Look into it, be honest with yourself, and determine whether you're happy with the trade off or not.

People self medicate with all kinds of things, and people take things recreationally. I'm personally not a fan of recreational drug use, I use compounds when they're useful, and I make sure I understand them, dangers and all. I do a good slightly excessive drinking session once every couple of months or so to clear built up stress from my head. I might have a drink or two once in a while between those if I'm having a particularly stressful day. I take an opioid (legal, believe it or not) sometimes for acute extreme pain, and won't take it more than two days in a row, pain be damned, so I time it for maximum impact. I drink a cup of coffee a day, just one, that's it, to medicate for migraines. I could probably get away with once every other day, but it's too delicious and not particularly strongly habit forming. I do manage a nicotine addiction, but nicotine (not cigarettes) does increase my clarity of mind when solving problems, so I don't really mind it.

Everybody self medicates, the distinction is what's socially acceptable, and honestly what's socially acceptable is not taking the reigns of your own health and instead putting it in the hands of professionals. And you're supposed to take drugs that have existed for a decade instead of ones that have existed for thousands of years. You're supposed to outsource understanding how they affect you to professionals. We have an opioid crisis because of that, as part of a larger unhealthy relationship with drugs in general as a society. I'd say, stay clear headed, use your better judgment, and just do what works for you. The taboo is misplaced and detrimental to our society. Don't drink too much or switch to benzos and you'll probably be fine.

The explanation asks us to imagine shining a flashlight through a tree, first changing the flashlight brightness and then changing its color.

The flashlight is an analogy for a radio transmitter. We all get that they work on same principle but just on different wavelengths. But regardless I can't shine the flashlight in my kitchen drawer at my radio and pick up a signal.
Exactly this, "local-first" here mostly is a marketing term rather than a technical one.

I'll tell you a funny(real) story. where i live there is a popular valley, well let's call it X-Valley. the name is very popular and gets a lot of tourism to the valley, so much so that all the surrounding valleys now advertise them as X-Valleys on the internet. and they get a lot of (re: majority of) their tourism business from doing that.

Second is the people's understanding of the term "local-first", I doubt many truly understand the real one from ink&switch. what a good chunk of them are really looking for is offline-first or even optimistic-ui based sync system.
I think people associate “using alcohol therapeutically” with “being dependent on alcohol” which in their experience usually means that person has a huge problem. Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/cripplingalcoholism/ for some idea.

Basically a lot of people that are dependent on alcohol ruin their entire lives because of it, and they unfairly assume you are in the same category.

At the same time if a standup comic says they take a shot before getting on stage no one bats an eye.

Nobody is downloading mods from Google. Modrinth, CurseForge and Prism are all very straightforward apps. You download the mods within those apps and they (mostly) handle dependencies. It's 1 click to launch Minecraft after that. My 6 and 9 year old use them easily and only one of them is a genius - but I won't say which one out of fear they might read these comments after I pass.

They both prefer Java fwiw.

I agree that this would work, and be ideal. I think it only scales to a certain size organization though. At my company, I'd guess we have over a thousand developers across hundreds of teams, and more supporting staff. There's no possibility of getting everyone in at once.

Another Kagi user for a year or two. I've honestly never had a single negative experience. Since using Kagi, I've only had to use google a couple of very desperate times. I don't notice the subscription fee because I get excellent value from it.

Kagi simply does what you ask and stays out of the way. Because you pay them, they don't need to monetize every pixel on the screen. No tracking or data mining. It's just software that does what it says it does and does what you tell it.

It's tragic that "thing that does one thing well and doesn't spy on you" is a scary and alien concept these days.
Yeah, I've been on a minetest kick lately and it's a great game, and I can understand not wanting to call it "minetest", but minetest is 2 english words mashed together and one of them is extremely relevant/descriptive of the game in question. I personally even think that it's fine that it sounds like minecraft, because it... is basically minecraft but proper FOSS; that's approximately the reason I like it. This new name contains zero english words and frankly I'm having trouble getting my brain to hold it at all. Lua... something. And I only remember "lua" because I already knew about the programming language. I think I'm going to have to set up an alias or something on my machines so I can actually launch the thing now...

Maybe, but one major problem with Google search is the perverse incentives. SEO garbage sites tend to be filled with Google advertisements, which means a Google search user who clicks through to a SEO site makes Google money. As long as the result is good enough, users still get what they need and the search is successful. And by good enough, I'm talking about sites like "geeksforgeeks", "towarddatascience" or "realpython" that just put additional text and ads around existing documentation; they do answer your search query, you just have to scroll and ignore the 20 ads on the page to get to it. It's to Google's benefit to offer one of these pages up over, say, python.org as the top result.

Kagi, at least for now, is making its USP the fact that it surfaces more professional, curated results. Its algorithm is susceptible to manipulation, for sure, but unlike Google, it actually has an incentive to keep SEO garbage off the first page of results.

Try the cat example again with your tty in raw mode instead of cooked mode.

Note that your job control characters will no longer function, so you will need to kill the cat command from a different terminal, then type: stty sane (or stty cooked) to restore your terminal to "normal" operation.

Every decision for an external dependency that a self-hosted service makes is another chance for it to have that impedance mismatch you mentioned.

Postgres is a relatively uncontroversial one, but I had the benefit of working for a company already operating a production postgres cluster where I could easily spin up a new database for a service. I went with SQLite/on disk storage because for most companies, providing a resilient block storage device, with backups, is likely trivial, regardless of which cloud they're on, being on bare metal, etc.
Lets be honest. There is a grain of truth to be found here in an age of distraction. There is also a fair bit of distraction disguised in flowery of prose.
If kagi ranks according to pages that provide high value relevant information about the subject, how would SEO work around that? If they are willing to provide quality content, I guess they deserve to top the search?
