DStretch is also really great at revealing painted ghost signs on old buildings.

I had this exact thought today, having recently been on a nostalgic Minecraft binge.

Incidentally, I can't place it, but Minecraft is an infinitely more enjoyable hangout and break/build stuff game than NMS. NMS is just very sterile to me.

I have runtipi on 2 homeservers, and fully recommend it. It is not like Coolify, which feels like a mini cloud provider control plane. Runtipi is like an app store. You can load your own app definitions side-by-side with the centrally provided store. Once you have that set up, it's a quick Claude task to translate almost any selfhosted project into a simple click-to-install app through the UI.

> Those people need to get their local government to regulate noise from all buildings

I think this is the core of the 'moral panic'. it isn't anti-AI, it's the fact that many AI datacenter builders have been somewhere between surreptitious and intentionally illegal in their avoidance public knowledge of what they are doing, most likely to avoid exactly the regulation you're recommending. As a result, there's now categorical public distrust of both the industry and the local government that has shirked their obligation to the public welfare.

It is reasonable to conclude that you don't act as secretively as these builders have unless you have something to hide.

> Once you’ve felt that, you start seeing NFC taps differently. You’re not reading the tag. You’re powering it.

I stopped at this line too. My AI detector is too bad right now

Perhaps every state should just have one very well-monitored polling place.

So that the election is decided by the people who live near the one place?

> people that flash custom Android OSs are the very definition of niche users.

This is a mischaracterization. The niche isn't Android hobbyists, it's people with what should be a basic expectation for privacy. I wouldn't flash GOS or any other OS if I could safely avoid it.

Sword of the Samurai was one of my favorite early childhood games. I think it's balance and structure (similar to Pirates) is part of what makes me shake my head at how uninteresting modern game design is, whenever I check in on what is supposedly state-of-the-art.

More broadly, do you believe that Google is not, in some way, adding Waymo data to the surveillance or intelligence product catalog the US government already purchases from them?

This is really the distinction between the mentality of a technical manager and an individual contributor.

Managers never got to write and internalize every line of code anyway. Arguably their essential skill is producing useful stuff without needing to do so. So is that 'cognitive debt'? When I use an agent to code, I do the same things: I validate the direction, organization, and core decisions, but delegate the details. It's an intentional calculation of risk, managing the scope of future problems if there's a failure of implementation somewhere.

It's a question of where you put the value of cognitive focus. I don't understand 'line by line' how my car's ICE works, even though it will likely impact me at some point, because while I might be able to fix it myself if it breaks, the likely applied solution will be to delegate that work anyway.
