Madness. This is what the death of liberalism looks like.
Everyone I know who has immigrated to America talks some version of this.
The lines that have these issues will be dwarfed by the hundreds that don't. It's scattershot for sure, but if it gets to the point where the rate of inbreeding is statistically significant to the total success of his…
From an evolutionary fitness perspective, it makes sense as a kind of loophole for easily reproducing and distributing your genetic material in a way likely to lead to many successful family trees. This might actually…
Small-scale, artisan production of goods/services that you personally hand to your local customer and that have strong, local, cultural value. If you're serious about future-proofing your career, do this. If possible,…
He was 100% correct and continues to be so.
If they die within 30 minutes, you would never see the scat of those who crack the seeds.
Intuitively, and based on my studies of economics, I believe that we will create new jobs or jobs will transform in some way as AI rolls out. That is, mathematicians would take on some new role in the math pipeline, as…
Yes, you’re right. I was just quickly lumping any contractor whose job is to run tests from a test case sheet under the QA umbrella. I guess a more likely title is Product Market Analyst, or something like that. But I…
Close, but sadly Markov could not afford a car and Turing was more of a man’s man.
What’s even the story here? QA Engineers Perform Job?
This is really a great laugh! It’s like watching a germaphobe come to the realization that germs are everywhere. It reminds me a little bit of how the new left approaches consumption as an identity forming action. It’s…
So his plan is to just take what he wants from the people who built it? What the fuck. That’s not a plan. Why are these people incapable of making the world better on their own.
I too, long for the days of 5 years ago when people understood how systems were built. What a peachy time that was. People were so knowledgeable, curious, and engaged with the systems that defined their lives. I am glad…
Turing, McCarthy, Shannon, Minsky, Rosenblatt, Hinton, LeCunn, Sustkever, Markov, Shazeer, Vaswani, etc. What do all these AI pioneers have in common?
I know multiple employed, functional people who do not own a cell phone. This is absolutely not a requirement. People have simply atrophied in the machine’s embrace. And not being able to afford having someone cook for…
Unironically, yes. Look at photos of people today, and then photos of people a century ago. You can’t hide the sloth.
Should we perhaps look at the top 51% instead? Why pick one perspective over the other? I’m not familiar with Dalio outside some weird pseudo-academic paper he wrote where he attempts to provide a new grand theory of…
Thank you for this; you are completely correct but this is not the narrative on the streets. He was a tyrant (in the original sense) and dictator who believed in absolute power of the executive, which paved the way for…
For real. Reading old comment threads makes me sad, because the level of discourse was so much higher in the past. Although this place is still deeply appreciated, it’s clear that its culture is going monotonically…
Crypto and AI are deeply connected, and you see similar structures/problems in both. Shannon, the “Father (or whatever) of AI”, worked for the NSA and published many papers there that were later declassified. Here is a…
Thanks for this! I have been reading through early information/automata theory lately, and hadn’t come across this one. If you have any more recommendations, please share.
It’s like The Machine Stops, except that ~10% of the population still understands how the machine works.
Yeah, I did not use Jira or other project management software. There was no need as the project could be implemented very fast with essentially one contributor. However agents (not just LLMs) were definitely involved.…
It’s also worth considering that a lot of this software will never be marketed, compared to in the past. For example, since it is now trivial to build a tool, why sell it? It is now economical to build a lot tools…
