Wasn't this obvious?

You are a good consumer, consumer451, because you don't judge other consumers' consumption habits.

Exactly. If social media apps had a configurable old style non-algorithmic feed the problem would be dramatically smaller.

somehow the invisible hand of the market is also blind af

I couldn’t be farther from the rationalists in my views but there are definitely a lot of valjd arguments against utilitariansim…

For all the grief they are getting GTK4/Adwaita/Gnome is doing a lot for performance and consistency of experience.

We can either hold ourselves back an an endless and futile journey on solving the human condition of poverty and inequality, or we can explore the stars. It's an easy choice.

Wait... Are you suggesting that "exploring the stars" is less of an endless and futile journey than dealing with poverty and inequality?

But he's not blaming his poverty on "whitey on the moon" but the lack of healthcare. There is an opportunity cost to war, Moon/Mars missions etc.

Kind of a false dichotomy. How about medical care as a right for a big abstract concept? He's not anti-science here, he's against the inequality of its distribution.

Of course, yes. Yes. It is also sad when it is hungry so best feed it with its preferred food, which is dollars. Loves to eat dollars.

Because they think this is good writing. You can’t correct what you don’t have taste for. Most software engineers think that reading books means reading NYT non-fiction bestsellers.

As opposed to.. the harsh realities of the Bay Area tech scene?

Reads just like Linkedin

The fact that a theory exists does not mean that it is not garbage

Best time to sell his ai portfolio

I upvoted both posts

Not sure what their intention is of course, but nowadays there is A LOT of Cortexes in various sound gear. Plenty in things like Eurorack but also outboard equipment like the Eventide H9000 etc.

Most tech people are only good at trite linkedin type writing and larping as pg.

The problem is of course that there isn’t that many good managers.

Did you intentionally pick your career to make the AI look bad?

He asked what he was doing wrong?

i agree but nobody gives a shit about this unless you have the authority to impose this in your own company

Make center for kids who can’t read good and wanna learn how to do other things good too.

Learning a bit of ableton is the least hard part of making compelling electronic music. Bitwig is fine as well. There is such a deluge of people eager to teach you via youtube or udemy etc.

FOSS is destroyed with overly permissive licenses that allow entities with a lot of capital to productize software as closed source while giving back the original author/maintainer exactly 0.

The bombing campaign united the people against the new enemy: “the west”, and arguably gave Milosevic some more time to rule. I survived this, trust me that even if your regime is shit, people don’t want to be bombed and will unite against the aggressor. This is in part because even if the aggressor claims that they are “bombing the regime” they are usually in fact bombing the country’s infrastructure, industry, urban areas etc.

Yeah this is history repeating. See for example less known “Dreyfuss affair” at MIT and the brilliantly titled books: “What Computers Can’t Do” and its sequel “What Computers Still Can’t Do”.

You realize people (including me) were socializing on the internet before any of these big companies existed, right?

I witnessed the described Salesforce scenario first hand. The amount of waste and dissonance was staggering.
