Just your description makes me want to watch it again twice, and one of those times is with my eyes closed.

I would be happy if 'politicians beyond retirement age' were not able to stand for office.

Not to mention the obviously unrelated-to-publishing, dodgy sounding email addresses. Red flag #1 where only a single red flag is needed to discard it. Having said that, less technically minded people, as authors may be, may not even notice

I think most all -isms can work, in the absence of massive corruption. But this may just be another way of saying that most all -isms cannot work. Strengthening of anti-corruption rules and powers under any system of government should work

Voting has always been about the lesser of two evils.

Boomers? Sigh. Please articulate better. You can't refer to an entire generation as 'at fault'. It's dumb, greedy, selfish politicians, and they come from all generations, including yours and mine, and in the future they

We will grow to $50T before you know it, and this headline will look silly.

The answer to all the questions, though, is more AI/LLM usage. Nobody got a freaking clue what the LLMs have done and why services are down? Diagnose it with LLM, and get the lights back on ASAP! I have a similar concern, though. To do

Engaging article to read. I very much like the "the shape of a thing" bit: There is an additional essence that is necessary to turn something from the shape of a thing into the actual thing, and the difference between having and

It's amusing, in a shameful, 'typical government' rubbing all it's brain cells together to come up with the answer they were lobbied to come up with by the status quo of their era, way. Of all the things they could throw

Echopraxia, or a variation of.

Hah! That's a lot scarier, and seems more plausible in that they lack the chemistry that seems to be the basis of emotions. Also much more fertile ground from which to grow techno-horror stories.

You're a pile of tensors!

Is this not how children learn emotions from their parents? Pattern matching from all the absorbed snippets. I'd be interested to see how well an AI, trained only on the outputs of an individual, would be able to mimic that individual

That's definitely a problem, but if it was the standard experience of GrapheneOS users, then GrapheneOS wouldn't have as many fans* as it seems to. *Fans as in happy users, not fans as in blowing cool air over a red hot device

My 9a running GrapheneOS doesn't get hot and battery life seems no different to other phones I've had the last few years.

What microservices can be run, powered at a perpetual trickle from the battery? All things up for grabs, electronic things that can bring people physically together. Internet-in-a-box, a Bitchat node, someone else continue, my imagination i

You are absolutely right, and the only negative is the utopian-esque description, therefore it'll never quite work as well as it should - but I think aiming for that will still get something better than what we've got. Your commen

New tech is so you can do your job more efficiently to get more X for less time for your employer, to satisfy the customer, to pay the share holder.

by BLKNSLVR 2mo ago
One thing I've thought about for a long time, as someone who's been interested in new technology and sci-fi for a long time: you still need to work; still need a job. With all this new technology that does things for us, there wil

> set timers by yelling at the air rather than getting sticky foccacia dough in the cracks of my egg timer? I know it's mainly in jest, but this always strikes me as an odd example of 'high tech'. It feels like a 'fir

A bottle of cool, hydrating water has been spilt onto dry dirt and soaked in, becoming mud, where the dirt and the water are not able to be separated back into their original forms. The water is the internet and the dirt is the real world.

Sounds like the sort of thing Aphex Twin would do.

I was about to post the exact same thing. I would think that, as you age throughout retirement, healthcare costs are increasingly the primary cost of living. $738k excluding healthcare $10m including healthcare

Didn't know there was prior art of that 30% scale, as I generally avoid as much of that shit as I can, Apple is the one I hear about the most. I amend my prior comments (with actually being able to amend them) to Apple sucks as much
