Because we focus on abstract problem statements, coded appeals to authority (as if ex-Reddit CEO is that special; there are a few), rather than concrete engineering? User demand to control what they see is there. It’s why TV was successful;

So all these US businesses do zero planning? The Fed is raising rates for lulz? We’ve unintentionally allowed consolidation of ownership? No one has any clue? You’re nitpicking semantics.

Twitter is text based. Video games have had text based profanity filters for online games for years. Make it easy for users to define a regex list saved locally. On the backend train a model that filters images of gore and genitals. Aim use

The brain is not involved in a whole lot of behaviors though. Cells organize themselves to an extent. Cuts heal without us focusing conscious thought on them. The brain is a hard drive but the body is the whole computer. Science is proving

There’s no way these people chat in a Signal chat group? It’s funny how people on a technology forum discount other normal humans also using technology I mean Musk’s Twitter texts just revealed they do exactly that.

Technically the US has more people in prison than China, and QOL metrics have all been dropping for decades. Crack epidemic. Prescription drug epidemic. RvW being gutted. Let’s sit and fear becoming a nation state that collapsed 30 years ag

I sometimes wonder how much further along these initiatives might be if the economy was focused on them instead of My Pillow sales, cheap crap from Walmart, and simply handing personally wealthy elites stacks of cash to create pointless job

Mostly I was agreeing with the analogy of a run on a bank. Fed pulled out of funding the economy as it was. Less money for them to spend on coffees, Ubers, etc.; less to “trickle down” given the uncertainty of grandpa Powell’s intention to

Yup. Powell has been saying for months he wants people to save and pull cash out of the economy. This is intentional because DC decided tech workers were undermining Washingtons of course most correct and immutable control over agency. Why

Capital is used here as a euphemism for land ownership. Net worth being mathematical inference of how well land owner “capitalizes” on the possession of land. Other asset classes came along because, well, useful land is finite, and to creat

Nah the final version is chips with a massive data model and algorithmic magic embedded in silicon magic to bootstrap an environment that samples the data model to answer user questions. A ways off, but some colleagues in the hardware world

Eh more like they shift managing the state to cloud providers. Someone has to bootstrap a DC of machines before you can run that containerized business logic. All the old barnacles are there it’s just hidden behind the wizards curtain.

Race wars have been used to obfuscate a class war. Historically minorities were prevented from being capital owners and as that changed aristocrats appealed to skin color while also routinely sweeping the legs out from under poor whites as

The context OP setup was “when grey beards retire.” The ideas being demand is low as the senior EEs stay put. Mom and pop shops could use Excel and did successfully for years. Big banks even ran on gigabyte sized Excel sheets before the 201
