  • I could get by with 2 HD bays -- it is more because I would like to use RAID if possible, and have an easier time to upgrade to larger capabilities as time goes on.

    I've also just appreciated larger cases with more room -- with small cases sometimes it's hard to work in there.

    Internal redundancy would be nice to have with a file server, but probably not necessary if I can have redundancy with regular backups instead.

    Thanks for the ideas!

  • It IS easier than reading the documentation, just like using a GPS is easier than reading a map.

    In both cases, the harder task helps you build a mental model much better than the easier task.

    For the GPS it doesn't really matter much, since the stakes are low--it's not important to build a mental model of a city if you can always use GPS.

    With programming I'm more cautious -- not knowing what you're doing can lead to serious harms. Just look at the Therac.

  • Rich and poor cheat the system in different ways.

    The rich can afford to put their kids in supportive schools that will teach those willing to learn a hell of a lot, and those that don't want to learn can benefit from the network effect.

    AI helps the poor cheat the system by avoiding the work and learning, depending on a language tool to process language for them.
