Awesome, thx for posting. I now have my new next book to read. Been wanting to read more of the original cybernetics stuff.
Would you also recommend "The Human Use of Human Beings"?
I'm in. What's next?
This is hilarious but... and I can't believe Im actually giving critique here... but a modern day, LinkedIn version would be couched in words like "exceedingly complex", "multi-domain", "system of systems", etc.
But the whole thing is brilliant. And #GrowthMindset at the end is absolute gold.
I'll confess to only have skimmed TFA but I love this idea.
I'm def adding "slippery semantic slopes" to my vocab.
You pretty much nailed it. I can't even get outraged at any given instance now that the trendline is so staggeringly clear.
I can't see anyway this ends well for the US. I say this as both an American and a military veteran.
Um. No, that's not how it works...
Oh my gosh. I was hoping that book had died a terrible death...
Best comment of the day. In three words no less...
There is a lot of history of the first movers that created revolutionary products that eventually faded away into nothing, while others capitalized on the innovation.
I'd say most first movers fade away. Microsoft wasn't the first OS, Google wasn't the first search engine, Facebook wasn't the first social network... etc... etc... etc...
I'll add my voice that the movie is definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.
This deserves to be the top comment.
Palantir used this backdoor to get into municipal police departments. LA is the example that sticks in my mind. I remember others.
I think this issue is way overlooked. Current LLMs embed a long list of values that are going to be incongruent with a large percentage of the population.
I don't see any solution longer term other than more personalized models.
What are his recent missteps?
I'll confess I try to ignore industry chatter to a fair degree.
Ha, great analogy.
It's not their fault, they didn't have lean startup and blitz scaling yet. </s>
Oh wow. That's far less ridiculous a notion.
So am I correct I'm thinking that SQLite doesn't need, for example, FS sycalls just the VFS functions?
Any chance we can get VW to do a Cyber Vanagon??
Sorry... OT... But I'm dying to know how you use FFT for machine failures. Is it just a matter of looking for unwelcome vibrations? Or more?
there's always [1]
If you find that interesting, look at Stephen Hayes' Relational Frame Theory which is the inspiration for his ACT theory of therapy.
But he basically breaks all communications into patterns like those.
Don't we have social media? </sarcasm>
IoT and clean comms do.
Yes random small arms make quite a difference in many scenarios. I can say this with zero commentary on whether one feels society broadly should have more guns.
Thx for posting the USAID article. The brazenness of it all is astonishing.
Thank God for the incompetence. It's like we're doing "Clown Show Mussolini".
I read the satellite has an omnidirectional antenna?
