This is also very similar to N-version programming :)

No, a lot of people on this website value very highly their completely irrelevant nitpicks. I’m starting to think it’s just the kind of mind the tech industry attracts, because I’ve noticed it in some coworkers as well.
You are correct, but universities did use to actually teach. SICP is still relevant 40 years later, and it was because the professors who created the class and textbook actually gave a fuck, knew what they were doing,…
No
Really? All real estate is worth the exact same? That's news to me.
> I think this is because we introduce a complicated way to calculate determinants and then we use determinants to calculate the eigenvalues? Yes, the determinant should be taught and defined as the volume of the…
Obviously I have no evidence to back this up, but it seems to mostly be used on the Internet in an intellectually lazy way to avoid confronting the fact that many people really are malicious, and the effect of Hanlon's…
30 ng of botulinum toxin can kill you. What's your point?
Every day I become more convinced that Hanlon’s razor is an example of malice.
I don’t know if it’s the actual reason, but they missed ad revenue expectations according to Yahoo. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/stock-market-today-nasdaq-fal...
Alright I’ll say the obvious since no one else will. This technology is far too dangerous to ever see widespread adoption because no one can be trusted not to use it for power and leverage over everyone who is chipped.
> If anything, it's the anti-Musk people who are sliding in extremism and foolishness. I’m not convinced the anti-Musk people are as monolithic as this comment would imply.
I’ve also been using it for, I think, 2 years now. While it has fewer issues in my experience, they’ve also destroyed features for nebulous security benefits. I’ve wasted quite a lot of time trying to get things to work…
You know the US presidential election happens in 2024, right?
I don't know what point you think you're making. In a democratic (not necessarily a Democracy of which the US is not) country, people are allowed to disagree with each other, and they do. That doesn't change the fact…
I never said I’m against immigration.
My advice to electricians starting out: find a construction job underway and fix wiring issues for free. His advice might not be wrong, but there is obviously something wrong with software engineering as a profession.
>It’s not malice or incompetence. It’s training. Am I really supposed to believe that corporate lawyers don't have personal agency? You can defend it however you want, but ultimately I believe that people are…

But they are where the vast majority of researchers are educated.
Fair enough.
I'd argue it's still unethical to put others at risk due to your own incompetence. I wouldn't offer to rewire someone's home because I'm not an electrician, and their house could burn down if I do it incorrectly.
I don't even know what a good answer to that is. Some integers are stored in registers. Some are stored on the stack. Some are stored on the heap. Or you could be asking how integers are represented, with two's…
