I think we're going to have a much weirder and more conflicted future than people realise, given that at some point all the world's democracies are going to be populated mostly by the descendants of groups which have a…
They sell reliable cars with a good AWD system and drivetrain and decent ground clearance. If they sold reliable PHEVs or even BEVs with 220mm+ ground clearance and some branding around torque and traction control, and…
I've got a 2020 XV (Australian Crosstrek nameplate) and it has relatively few annoying EU-mandated safety features. It won't start unless I've done my seatbelt up, which is annoying when I'm e.g. driving in a cow…
Regarding the "this approach sucks" voice, there's an important difference between humans and AI which I've noticed and which I didn't explain well. The general human approach to programming at most companies I worked…
...are you sure that Claude Sonnet writes code that you'd write? For me, it writes code that mostly works, which is great. It insists on adding some of the least readable comments I've seen. It also likes to pad out the…
This is basically just being a manager in the before times. "My engineer said X!" "Well, mine said Y!" Which is fine, whatever, I guess this is how I pay the mortgage off instead of having any clue what the hell Claude…
If the number of job openings go up, but at the same time the average job opening has worse pay and conditions, I don't see the connection to the lump of labour fallacy. As far as I know, that's how the lump of labour…
If I were interpreting the statement charitably, I'd say there was a sliding spectrum of capital vs labour and most income sources sit between the two at varying positions. In which case, yes, owning a plumbing business…
If AI was a presidential candidate, it would be in trouble. https://news.gallup.com/poll/712751/americans-cool-toward.as...
4chan and Kiwifarms are "centralised" in the sense that they're both a central site, but the underlying imageboard or forum are beyond easy to set up and are usable from about ten active users upward.
Why would a movement which started as nerds buying mosquito nets to stop malaria be "a bunch [of] post hoc justifications for bad behaviour"? You say this like it's an established fact or at least a common argument, yet…
They keep buying ten of the houses I want to live in, knocking them down, and building a single tasteless McMansion on the combined block, and then lobbying for building and zoning regulations that won't let me build…
I disagree in some cases. Code is a means of communication. Sometimes it's more efficient to write code and bring it to your team than to discuss it in the abstract. An example of this might be adding load shedding. You…
It sounds like you work at a company where the responsibilities of engineering are split across at least three separate roles, things move slowly and in a structured way, there's a large amount of coordination work, and…
Land is a little different from shares because you can meaningful affect the value of your land by spending your life improving your community if everyone else does too. You can be a good neighbour much more easily than…
From my cursory look at this last night, the US doesn't like that the definition of "harm" is so poorly defined. They either don't care about the broader concept of opting out of an algorithmic feed or aren't willing to…
What picture do you think is being painted here? I'm pretty sure that actual self-identified Marxists would be insulted if you accused them of believing in profit or thinking Adam Smith was correct.
It's not Marxist at all, otherwise it'd be talking about the labour theory of value and wouldn't admit that profit through innovation is possible. It seems to be Georgist.
I was under the impression that if you go back far enough to a millennium ago, peasants weren't trading for iron or having a miller grind their grain, and they were definitely spinning their own yarn. I would welcome…
Speech writers and shadow writers in general are writing on behalf of other people, but they're not writing the same thing. They can't! Usually they're writing something better, with the proper voice and authentic to…
If horoscopes and homeopathy can generate tests, then call me a Pisces and pass me the singular molecule of deadly nightshade toxin.
Seems like you're thinking of "extra care" as some sort of life extension, while the GP thinks it means things like help showering and cooking, and the GGP is ambiguous and could believe anything. The inevitability of…
Not for out of copyright work, right?
If you have 100k people who don't smoke cannabis and 100k who do, 1000 of the non-smokers and 1400 of the smokers will have schizophrenia. How do you detect schizophrenia in the 400 people in the non-smoker category?…
No, but per my earlier reply, it's one behaviour typical of severe autism, among other forms of self-harm. Pretending that broader society only wants to reduce the severity of autism symptoms for their own convenience…
