We’re about to learn the hard way that individual productivity hasn’t been the bottleneck in any large org for a long time. Make people infinitely productive and collapse time to complete tasks to zero. Linear speed up at best. You’re still left with the quadratic alignment costs

@Duane1024 @openclaw my answer to this category of problem is generally nix

Another day, another failed @openclaw upgrade. I'm going to blame it on npm I think. Is there any way to make this process more foolproof?

@samlambert I remember walking in and seeing this on my first day in 2013 and adding tail latencies shortly thereafter. What a fun time.

GitHub's performance in 2013. The web used to be so fast.

A quick wordle clone in Java github.com/d2fn/wordle

@kneath very happy to have started at hq 2.0. it felt like a special place. i remember writing a hubot plugin to drop a front door gif in chat when someone rang the doorbell.

RIP to GitHub Office 3.0, but I gotta admit that Office 2.0 was always the GOAT in my heart. P.S. A fog machine in an enclosed area will set off a smoke detector, and if in commercial property, absolutely call the fire department.

@evanm know an unlicked window

@d2fn Window: unlicked

@norootcause @robertskmiles i suspect our jobs will be automated long before laundry

@robertskmiles Let me know when AI / robot systems can do laundry (wash, dry, fold, put away). Not that it’s some huge metaphysical challenge problem, I just really want that work automated.

So, what's the List Of Things That AI Systems Categorically Can't Do looking like these days?

system complexity expands to fill all available staff

@moonpolysoft breakfast wanters wanted for breakfast. circle of life.

@moonpolysoft yeah, wouldn’t be a problem for me

@kneath the cold grip of entropy comes for us all

Feels a little bit like I've traded drained batteries and ethanol poisoned carburetors for blown seals on air shocks. Anyways, the moral of the story is life is maintenance.

@moonpolysoft makes u think

@moonpolysoft build your web services in erlang, justify why later

@moonpolysoft “i did it this way because i wanted to”

learn skills unlikely to be automated. welding, plumbing, electrical, construction, tailoring. anything that marries brain power and the material world. touch grass.

@moonpolysoft @james_s_white bow season just started here. i might take the easy way out and get a yard deer.

@moonpolysoft and shaking spray paint cans, with the right adapter of course
