Perhaps Larry Ellison is a bad man?

This blogger's gonna go nuts when they learn about the ouroboros.

Your Project Leyden's "AOT cache" Youtube link is broken, did you mean to link to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiBNDT9r_4I?

This makes me realize that one of my formative childhood experiences was seeing the Crayola 64 crayon pack and thinking "huh, I guess there is NO limit."

You're conflating "passive income" with "real money". Competing with the big businesses is completely off topic.

He means its about a message loop, as opposed to an update loop.

Fat chance, Satya!

This is actually nuts. You can't even constantly implement "age verification" at the system level in a way that makes sense across world cultures.

The only sane way to do this is you were playing along with arbitrary legislative age-gaters would be to add a generic "additional user info" blob to the account fields, if it didn't already exist.

Desktop and laptop sellers need to end their abusive business relationship with Microsoft, and start selling systems with a Linux distribution. They'll save costs while selling a better product. People who know they need Windows will always have the option to install it themselves.

Fat chance Elon!

Lt Cmdr Data goes hard AF on the decks.

Why do the deliverables always take about 1 hour? Is this fully automated?

Where is the place you'd like to see someone say "Declare variables, not war"?

2fa, except its 0 factors instead of two?

When you work on a pre-existing codebase, you don't understand the code yet, but presumably somebody understood parts of it while building it. When you use AI to generate code, you guarantee that no one has ever understood the code being summoned. Don't ignore this difference.

Synths don't generate music, they generate tones. The analogy would be a program that generates really good programming languages.

I do not want it.

What stops me, a multibillionaire, from hiring someone to shoot the small government judge in the head?

Have you ever been frustrated with software before? Has a computer program ever wasted your time by being buggy, obviously too slow or otherwise too resource intensive, having a poorly thought out interface, etc?

So we should all work to become better programmers! What I'm seeing now is too many people giving up and saying "most code is bad, so I may was well pump out even worse code MUCH faster." People are chasing convenience and getting a far worse quality of life in exchange.

What other operating systems have you used?

Test your hypothesis by attaching your offline name to your internet profiles.

You are not fun.

If you're working in big tech and you truly believe you are spoiled, then why not quit that job and let the migrant improve their living situation, while you live in the luxury you already have?

Trump's trademark skill is conning and taking advantage of people, just like Dogbert.

And most of the texts you can access at the local library aren't even at that local library right now. Libraries are part of a humongous network. If you're willing to wait a few days, there's an avalanche of material that you definitely can't instantly find on the internet.

Did you mean 30 years ago?

You're wrong. Sharing the fruits of labor and greater social cohesion are what lead to greater quality of life. Greater productivity leads to increased wealth among the owning class, but historically that wealth only reached the masses after hard, usually physically violent, conflict between the haves and havenots.

We are over a decade into Big Tech already making everyone's lives miserable (the malicious wielding of social media is something even the mainstream knows about now). His alternative of not working for big tech is literally the only way out of this.

There is some nuance in what "not working for big tech" means though. The general gist is to not take work making tools that can foreseeably be used to hurt people and the social fabric at large. Reject "disruption." Don't take money to make your life worse. That sort of thing.
