The tree-view is practical for users but seems impractical for relational database performance.

SELECT * FROM files p LEFT JOIN files c ON p.id = c.parent_id LEFT JOIN files gc ON c.id = gc.parent_id LEFT JOIN files ggc ON gc.id = ggc.parent_id .... where p.id = 123

When you have a hammer, everything starts to seem like a nail. /s :)

It seems like someone with an immigration background should have to go through an on-boarding period where a new arrival takes part in community service and is immersed with civic-minded people and good citizens rather than just heading straight for the slums to fend for themselves and live among the sorts of people who will be a bad influence on them.

This reminds me of the kids in MR. Deeds.

Kid 1: What are you going to do with your $20,000

Kid2: quit school

Homeless man: good idea, school is for fools!!

People who have the disposable income to buy $8,000 personal robotic assistants or $20,000 1X Neo are a lot more likely to live in larger spaces. I've got about 1,000 sqft per occupant in my home. Plenty of room for a C-3PO or Johnny 5.

Perhaps that's how aliens would see humans. Perpetually trying to die except for a small group of humans fighting disease, monitoring and protecting climate, keeping order, etc.

I don't blame someone for working at facebook, but I don't think most of you realize how cash money a FANG company looks on your resume to IT managers at the lowly normal companies. Go work in financial services, insurance, retail, go be a contractor and work/travel until you find what you like.

Back in the day... 2004-2005 facebook was amazing. Spread like wildfire, and lots of fun to use. Just you and your college friends, and their friends.

AI sovereignty, not AI efficiency. Redesign AI chips with lower power density and higher thermal tolerances and you get more efficient radiation with some sacrifice in compute power. But you are outside the jurisdiction of every country.

Then you get people paying much more money to use less-tightly-moderated space-based AI rather than heavily moderated AI.

Imagine a senior dev who just approves PRs, approves production releases, and prioritizes bug reports and feature requests. LLM watches for errors ceaslessly, reports an issue. Senior dev reviews the issue and assigns a severity to it. Another LLM has a backlog of features and errors to go solve, it makes a fix and submits a PR after running tests and verifying things work on its end.

When robots start sending us bullets, we'll probably look back fondly at the time when they sent us thank you letters.

How long before it creates a folder named meth den and just holds up in there for a couple weeks at a time.
