I want to be able to freely move around the globe in a floating glass orb with its own WiFi and power outlets, and enough room to put some entertainment stuff in.

I’ve been saying for years we need CCR (Client Centric Rendering).

What we do is have the server just serve the page and let the client handle most of the rendering.

It’s novel and innovative

Smells like SPA

Isn't this html + javascript?

I’ve always liked Chesterton’s Fire.

Maybe there’s a reason you’re on fire. Until you can say for sure, I will not put it out.

I will just be here roasting these marshmallows on your burning flesh. :)

What a ridiculous misrepresentation of the principle. In fact isn't that a good illustration of the principle? The fence is just sitting there, maybe it's annoying or slows you down but it isn't actually an acute problem or an emergency. All the more reason to not just rip it out without taking the time to understand why it's there.

My version was Chesterton's Facehugger.

Something which, as soon as you discover it, you should immediately respond by trying to remove it, without asking questions about where it came from or what its purpose might be.

Do you have a real practical example of this? I have never encountered a real one that didn't turn out to be a fence in hindsight.

I have encountered many. For example if you find a password in plaintext in source control, you don't assume the person who put it there had a good reason, you assume they were deeply misguided.

I feed them all the time and they recognize me.

They love chicken strips which feels wrong. But they like what they like.

They may become the primary intelligent species of the planet some day - since the evil LLM will never be able to predict their communications and will not be able to wipe them out

I’m waiting for one of these random pixelized images to start pulsing and spit out a glider

What about Y3K??

If I live that long I'll reconsider in '800 or so.

Don’t you mean in another 00 or so

Eight '00s, in fact.
