Many years ago, @paulkrugman wrote this insightful piece on how a country is different from a company. The central idea is that a country operates in a closed framework whereas a company operates in an open one. An extension of this idea is that we can have a relatively higher tolerance of mistakes made by companies than we do for those made by a government. If a company mistakenly fires some of its capable employees, the overall effect of this mistake is minimal. Other companies will, with glee, snatch away these employees and a bane of one turns into a boon for others. That does not work if the government fires its capable and expert employees. You fire FAA, FBI and DOE employees and there will not be a company that will come forward to regulate air traffic, monitor terror and inspect nuclear waste sites. Legality aside, DOGE is endangering the safety of the entire country with its indiscriminate purge of federal employees. This is deeply, deeply worrisome.
finally started to address this issue... This naming is not product-oriented at all, reminding me of the rigid naming conventions used by chip manufacturers in the past. I'm still waiting for the 5 after GeForce4.
o3-mini-high is really good and it's cool to hear some people say it's their favorite model ever
but
it reminds me of when we used to have something internally called "the little big run"
a top 2025 goal is to fix our naming problem
@nerdtechgasm@Solzi_Sez It’s inconvenient without Google Maps. However, you can use a VPN (I recommend https://t.co/tMauLyQmqJ, which is simple to set up and very affordable) or directly use Apple Maps (if you’re using an iPhone, as it uses China’s Amap data, and the locations are always up to date).
