A study on this is referenced in the The Great Courses, Everyday Engineering series taught by Dr. Stephen Ressler, a Professor Emeritus from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Any potential engineer watches this as part of th

Electricity transfer is orders of magnitude more cheaply transmitted than any physical quantity of gas as the power is up-converted to around 750kV which only wastes a few hundred watts in the actual transmission (across thousands of miles)

I don't think there is a valid rationale for this. Unfortunately, there are a lot of armchair spectators that don't understand how the economy actually functions; and they've got brigades that go after people that do actually

You seem to have not understood what I said conflating academia with whitepapers and then construct the rest on an improper foundation from there. Whitepapers aren't the sole domain of academia. What we are talking about aren't ho

I agree this isn't knowledge that takes a lot. The problem is these companies don't explain why they do what they do, in fact a lot of security stuff along these lines in the past has been tight-lipped secrecy bound stuff. You can

Eric, I think it appropriate to mention, and I'd like to point out the lack of any real documentation (reaching a professional level) related to PSL on the professional working groups touching on these things (i.e. M3AAWG). There are o

I disagree, as a professional in this field for over a decade. For this to be a legitimately backed statement, professional's would have needed to know about the PSL. This is largely unmet. For it to be met, there would need to be docu

Yes, its generally good advice to keep user content on a separate domain. That said, there are a number of IT professionals that aren't aware of the PSL as these are largely initiatives that didn't exist prior to 2023 and don&#x27

Unfortunately that is just how it is on biased platforms, but its not like that everywhere yet. It is like a page out of Atlas Shrugged though. All the parasites ended up dying in that book when all the intelligent people decided to just st

More than likely that conjectured capability is the yesteryear Predator. Seems tech may have received some upgrades: https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/06/27/238884/the-penta... There was also a hot-a

In fairness, almost all of this is pure conjecture aside from Bin Laden which has had documents and accounts on record released/declassified. We don't actually know how these entities do certain things because they don't have

Uhh, there is no used to (past tense). Its important to have a faith-based belief system you can fall back on when you are subjected to torture. I'm with the greeks on this, which is what they try to communicate in and through their st

The nature of human organization and political structure is based on a weighted asymmetry of power where some autonomy is given up in exchange for a greater survive-ability. This is inherent in the basic understanding of the social contract

Your just looking at pool walking down a concentration gradient. When everyone has access, and such access eliminated more jobs than created, do you think the investment was warranted. Value is only ever based in human action; when the basi

Opportunity costs don't destroy the economy. Money-printing does destroy the economy on a lag, specifically when the production has such catastrophic shortfall that it shows itself to be ponzi without tangible value or benefit. Value b

One must naturally make assumptions when responding to something that is poorly defined or communicated. That's just how it is. That's an issue for the original poster, not the responder. The terminology of AI has a strong link wi

The man certainly isn't a philosopher king, and in some ways; he's quite unhinged and twisted in his viewpoints, and worst of all blind to the consequences of his actions.

There aren't enough jobs because we are stuck in a money-printing loop thanks to the baby boomers. The dynamics and debasement floor prevent new entrants from entering the market while regulation cripples those trying to keep things go

That's a false dichotomy. You also neglect that all business must necessarily account for inflation in their cost model (an impossible task). Enshittification is just the end result of money-printing through banking loans on the busine

School in the last 50 years was never about education. It was about inducing a level of thought control and torturing the intelligent/competent to reduce their number to only those that can be controlled, and as systems of disadvantagi

Until now, people have had the leverage/cost asymmetry in their favor where they could easily differentiate and make rational choices. AI has tipped that nuanced balance in a way that is both destructive, and unsustainable. Just like a

You don't get anything tangible from that noisy data. IT has been taking the brunt, and you only see labor market changes after they happen by a significant lag. Its premature to do this type of study and try to discount what people on

In fairness, many employers exploit their workers. Wages have been supressed for multiple decades. Rights stripped through arbitrary pay-for-play work agreements, etc. Eventually you lose all goodwill and get a saturation of ill-will relate

The simple fact of the matter is, everyone breaks with sufficient exposure to unending abuse. In the literature, this is rightfully called by its real name, torture. Everyone breaks with sufficient exposure, they may break by dissassociatio

The problem with your take is that you neglect the nuanced difference between demand and need. Demand is where people are willing to pay you at the right price, and you aren't struggling to find work. Need is where they aren't, an

I hate to say this but it is not just the curriculums. A lot of teachers are just plain out bad at teaching. For quite a lot its not their fault, they were taught flawed pedagogy and just blindly follow what they know like trained monkeys d
