I’m 62. Same. The huge productivity jump is exciting. But the real gold is removing all the mechanical pain of typing, navigating files, grinding through library docs and many other grunt level tasks. Now I can stay in higher cerebral plane

Some might say that optimization (how quickly and efficiently people are killed) is THE thing about war. I mean, aren't nukes the ultimate optimization?

Wait, you think these autonomous killer robots will only fight each other? Are you kidding?

Can anyone see how autonomous robot armies are different than nukes in their deterrent potential?

Imagine thinking this would go any different under any Harris or whoever. The war party gets its way.

TL;DR - Sam Altman gets to build the mass surveillance distillers and autonomous killer robots.

The petroyuan faces a big problem, which is lack of trust in the CCP to preserve its value. As mentioned, there’s also mounting dissatisfaction and distrust in the petrodollar, but the devil you know…

If you’re paying more to get it cheaper, then prima facie, you were not being exploited. You were being offered convenience.

This reinforces my standard explanation of Claude Code: Claude is exactly like a junior engineer who is simultaneously brilliant and retarded. It can do great things but needs close supervision. Claude doesn’t write code, Claude recommends

Yes. No one knows where the top is in term of demand for software engineering. Software continues to eat the world with no end in sight.

Excellent breakdown. Software engineering will be automated end-to-end around the same time as doctors and lawyers.

This is the exact type of thinking, this type of casual totalitarian social engineering, that led to the invention on the guillotine.

A big part of this is that too many kids are going to college. Less than 2/3 who begin a 4-year degree program will graduate. We’re pushing kids who are not suited to higher education into it because of credential inflation. As more ki

Then what a tragic misuse of societal resources. A simple IQ test would be a better signal to employers than a massively overpriced four year charade.

I saw their Flood tour. Variety Playhouse Atlanta 1990. No band, just the two of them. Plus the metronome, and some prerecorded backup here and there.

“18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated.” Witness how “this type of work” is actually done. You’ve been claiming to “do this type of work,” yet even in this most earnest appeal “to the Ameri

You can eat as much meat and tropical fats as it takes to satisfy, and you WILL lose weight and regain metabolic health. The catch is, you gotta ditch most of the carbs.

Your problems sound rooted in physical and health issues. Try this: - Cut out carbs. Start with a month of full keto, then dial it in. The goal is a constant energy level, no feeling sleepy or hungry, no brain fog. Intermittent fasting can

Positive rights don’t exist because they are simply claims on other people’s labor.

Awesome. I could have explained why macroeconomic modeling is futile and stupid, but so much more effective to demonstrate it!

We just spent three years telling kids to view the breath of other humans as poison. If this is reactionary, bring it on. I’m starting to see a lot more free ranging kids in my neighborhood. White pill.

To get credit for fixing a problem that never happened, usually you need to make things a lot worse.

The implications of this problem are far broader than the article suggests. Consider this classic essay entitled The Myth of the Rule of Law by Georgetown law professor John Hasnas. https://www.copblock.org/40719/myth-r

This is not speculation much less crazy theorizing. Read the Missouri v Biden injunction. It’s crystal clear that FedGov infiltrated and basically zombified social media platforms to perform constitutionally prohibited censorship.

Eh, there are myriad other variables that correlate to high noise environments that I suspect are far more causally connected to the negative health effects that this video attributes to noise alone. Sloppy.
