I think this is exciting. The market will do its job and crush the inefficient companies where management is unable to recognize the slop. People who produce value will produce more of it with AI, people who wasted resources will waste more of it with AI.

Slop architecture leads to compounding problems that people try to solve with more slop. If one wants to control the quality of the code then the throughput and multithreading is bottlenecked by how much code one can comprehend in a given period of time.

Or it could be a selection bias. The ground truth is not what HN herd mentality complains about, but the usage stats.

russia hasn't been cutoff economically still. 3 years and the economy is going down but not as fast as it should have. The leaders of the west think they are playing a game here with pros and cons. There are no pros and a huge con with number 3 on it. How the fuck can anyone still trade with russia.

This should have been retaliation of the western world years ago.

I like the article and am a big proponent of simple architectures.

But.

The described use cases have homogenous workloads. Hence simple architecture. Extrapolate the rest.

And of course there are for sure cases of people increasing complexity for the sake of being needed. That's a topic for sociologists/psychologists to reason about, not for engineers.

It happened 15 years ago. Half of the town knew that, all the police knew that. In fact the police tortures people themselves, it's not news for them.

This thread is in the midst of discussion of a public person tortured for 3 years and murdered and the whole country knows that.

What authorities are you talking about? It's criminals upon criminals.

Parts of population always did and always will be falling behind other parts.

Humanity must ensure that an individual has the way to realize their potential. Freedom to raise and freedom to fall.

The internet changed everything. The information flowing freely and allowing critical thinkers to get out of a swamp they found themselves in. At least this gives everyone a chance to see.

The other thing is immigration. Your case about the US is thankfully different because one can get on a car and leave to another state or urban area. It's not as easy to get out of russia. Get a visa first. Maybe. If you have education and fit into a category. Do not fit? Too bad, there are great places like Kazakhstan that are available though.

There are smart people who work for Russia, or worse - for russian gov. Without them it would not be possible.

How can an individual have both the critical thinking and still have the gut to contribute to this?

I grew up in rural russia. It's much much worse than what you see on the facade. My neighbour was a police man. His 15 years boy raped a kid from local orphanage and captured it on a video. No justice followed, because his dad is a policeman. No one spoke up. Everyone just accepted it, as they always do. When he grew up he became a policeman. It's not even the most screwed up story that I witnessed. This is beyond fucked up.

It's a case of mass inheritable PTSD. All males I knew in my family tree were violent drunks, all females were bitten up housewives. This place is surreal and should not exist. And my family was somewhat functional compared to some neighbours.

I abandoned everything there and got out as soon as I could make any money. I wish every person capable of critical thinking just leave this dreadful place and let it descend to the middle ages.

I'm not aware of any technology that is capable of doing anything close to "uploading". Or any technology that is on the way there.

If we consider our consciousness to be a narrative that is based on our life experiences, then a more realistic method would be to voice-record your unfiltered emotional sincere thoughts for 30 minutes a day for a 1-5 years.

That should be enough to simulate your consciousness: - it contains the signal of what bothers you - it contains the signal of what psychological problems you have - it contains the signal of your emotional state whether it's caused by hormones or objective events - it contains the signal of what you know about the world
