I find it telling that AGI people seem to assume that AGI will spontaneously appear as a distinct entity with its own agency rather than being a product that will be owned and sold.

People who have hundreds of billions of dollars can get mid-single-digit percent ROI by making very safe investments with that money, but instead they are pouring it into relatively risky AI investments. What do you think that says about their expectations of returns?

To me, "fine" means "legal if you are rich enough"; I'd be for a system that if you get more than X speeding fines within a period, your license becomes provisional, and you have to resit the full license test within 6 months or loose it entirely. Maybe required people to have a "P" plate in the window while their license is provisional as a bit of social pressure as well.

Pretty much you've shown you aren't familiar with the requirements to operate a vehicle on public roads, and need a reminder

A friend of mine seems to get a ticket about once a year on average (which I don't get - I've been driving for 15 years and never got one) - the thing that really bugs me though is how angry and upset she gets when she does get one; like she's been targeted personally for something entirely outside of her control, not that if you choose to consistently drive 10km/h over the limit you are eventually going to get pinged. She doesn't seem to have the "nothing is ever my fault" attitude generally, but for speeding fines it's like she doesn't feel that responsibility as a driver or something. Idk people are weird

Check them into Git, but be cautious about credentials that might live in the env files that you don't want to expose if you end up making the repo publicly available.

... so I shouldn't use the CEOs history of bankruptcy and failed a Kickstarter when judging if I think it is going to succeed or not?

The irony of being asked to sign up to a website to be able to read an article about opsec failures

My concern isn't that things will get delayed, it's that I'll give them my money and get nothing in return

I'm pretty excited about this; my Pebble Time was the best watch I've even owned - smart or otherwise.

That said, I don't think I'm going to be preordering this given how badly the last Pebble Kickstarter went. For those who weren't around at the time, Pebble (whose CEO is behind this venture) built his whole business around Kickstarter. The first 2 generations were wildly successful, but for the third generation they massively overextended themselves trying to get hardware into mainstream retailers, prioritised building stock for retail channels (because contracts) and ran out of cash before shipping for the majority of backers who had bankrolled this whole thing. Eventually everyone who hadn't had their orders fulfilled got a refund, but that was only because FitBit decided to buy them. Eric seems like a nice guy and great at the technology - and I'm not saying that I could run a business any better - but I think I'll wait until there is stock on hand for me to buy outright before I hand over my cash

Kubernetes is awesome for self hosting, but tbh is superpower isn't multi-node/scalability/clustering shenanigans, it's that because every bit of configuration is just an object in the API, you can really easily version control everything - charts and config in git, tools like Helm make applying changes super easy, use Renovate to do automatic updates, use your CI tool of choice to deploy on commit, leverage your hobby into a DevOps role, profit
