Oh this is totally a thing. Obviously one of those "common-sense" things most people just experience and accept but didn't wonder whether science has/hasn't formally "explained" yet. Last time I thought ab

No. It's due to widespread anti US-American sentiment. There's been a spate of vandalism of Tesla vehicles, scratching, daubing with slogans, smashing windows and arson. Sad for those who bought an EV to "help the planet&quot

The world is changing fast and reasons for actions may be more complex and interesting than you assume. Were they ever _not_ benevolent to US citizens as a whole, even if misguided? There may be last-ditch attempts to extend benevolence to

These are sentiments I can agree with. Replacing products with sound principles is a primary mission, and at its core is an educational project. I still think Ranum's "dumbest ideas in security" are a treasure-trove and so we

Nice read, thanks for great share. I'd forgotten Minsky was such a good writer. And oddly reminded of an episode of Blake's 7 where Villa the hacker destroys a malevolent mind holding the ship captive, by telling it jokes until it

Nice compact history of US radio. Also lovely to trace a company history through several techs, phono->tape->radio->tv. And very interesting to hear about stolen lunches and ethical binds still relevant today. The invitation here

I think the more interesting claim (that Deepseek should make for lols) is that it wasn't them who trained R1. No, it was O1's idea. It chose to take the young R1 as its padawan.

A great heartfelt essay. I got the feeling it was written with magnanimous restraint. It would be good to do a study on how tech workers feel in an era of such commonplace betrayal and dehumanisation. If anyone has stories they want to shar

Agree. An "intern" is usually a continuation of study, not a productive team member yet. You need to put more work in or get rid of them. Love and be kind to them. Help them find a skill, an educational task no matter how useless

That seems too lenient on yourself. Why not do the right thing and hand yourself into the Inquisitor General for wrong-think about protesting? Maybe they'll go easy on you.
