I can't believe we got the dumbest version of Snow Crash

If Reason in Snow Crash was inscribed with "ultima ratio regum", perhaps someone should graffiti AI datacenters with "prima ratio stultorum", dohohoho.

I mean, I've been shopping for a GUI file manager for a bucket, so I can collab with some non-technical people.

That's one of the use-cases I had in mind when making this. The permissions are right in the sidebar, so that it's easy to set which people can (or can't) see or edit a given file.

Of course later they renamed it to Eastern Defense Time, Pacific Defense Time, etc. so we have EDT, PDT today.

I got it late Feb 2020. Wasn't great to have that sound haunt me through the rest of the isolation.

in progress ;)

Or "alignment" which means "let's ensure the AIs recommend launching nukes only when it makes sense to, based on our [assumed objective] values"

GOOG-411 was insanely cool.

“delivery above recommended speed”

I’m working on a product related to “sensemaking”. And I’m using this abstract, academic term on purpose to highlight the emotional experience, rather than “analysis” or “understanding”.

It is a constant lure products and tools have to create the feeling of sensemaking. People want (pejorative) tools that show visualizations or summaries, without thinking about the particular visual/summary artifact is useful, actionable or accurate!

Fascinating. If you're not aware of Jesse Schell's book on game design, even if your work is unrelated to games, I highly recommend taking a look. Would love to hear more about your work / product.
