Who is getting the service here the individual or society. A neoliberal world view might assume there is no society but that is patently absurd. If society wants too have a functioning and prosperous economy it should provide education as a

So you want to maximise economic rent on the education of the masses and you wonder why societies are resistant to that, plainly because the outcome is horrendous.

This sounds very similar to how Henri Bergson describes time in Time and Free Will. Particularly chapter 2 the Multiplicity of Psychic States. And as he says the fault is making extensity out of duration and therefore producing nothing more

Cars are not the problem it's fearful parents. When I grew up there were all cars on the streets, and before cars there were horse and carts which had their own dangers. Over the last 150 years the distance that parents have allowed th

This has been debated for 100s of years and the era of funny money that is created at the stroke of a key i don't see how we can maintain the view that it should be so skewed towards capital.

That is a reality in can point to many examples. From Thames water to Sara Lee in Australia.

What capital risks? Private equity many times purchases a company, loads it up with debt, strips it off assets, pay themselves fat dividends and then walks away when it all falls apart.

How so?, is there not a glot of trailing edge semi manufacturers? We get dazzled by leading edge semi conductors by that's only part of the picture.

The glaring question is how and why it was rolled out everywhere all at once? Many corporations have pretty strict rules on system update scheduling so as to ensure business continuity in case of situations like this but all of those were c

You're assuming it wasn't an attack. Just the same week Kaspersky gets kicked from the us market...

I chose to use prolog to essentially build an expert system across and heterogeneous data ecosystem. Prolog could certainly use some serious improvements to its tooling. But the language is simple enough that it doesn't prove too much

So legacy baggage from the get go. This is what I'm lamenting, it's objectively a syntax soup.

by Guthur 2y ago
This, I don't understand why we have to load these languages up with so much syntax, it's mind boggling to think that some how we feel it's beneficial to have so much. I'm admittedly biased to the symbolic expression but

Sure but the article wasn't focus on defence, it was talking more broadly. If you wanted it to somehow rationalise building weapons for warmongering nations i think it would be a hard job.

The problem is that the abstractions we are forced to create do not drastically change how we can think about the problem domain in question. We're often just hiding some mechanical details when in truth we should be searching for and

I don't think that's how the article read at all. It barely mention defence after the first couple of paragraphs.

So there is no such thing as individuals conspiring to achieve a goal; colonisation wasn't a thing, national socialism was just some random frat parties, communism was just a book club. The problem is assuming that everything is a con

This somewhat related to universals and how they are view from Platonic idealism and Aristotelian realism. With language we capture a symbolic representation of the ideal form, the red apple, or do we just imagine the last particular apple

My theory is that someone came up with the bright idea of allowing more open source in the stack and that that would allow them to get it all done via crowd sourcing and on the cheap. But if true it was a quite naive view of how it might wo

Is it destroyed? does matter some how disappear or is it just it transformed from one form to another? Why did consciousness arise from matter at all, does it disappear or is it transformed. If you only limit yourself to what you can see th

I'd recommend Henri Bergson's Time and Free Will for mind opening view of time. Imo it elaborates on the distinction between space time and our temporal experience.

That link doesn't say anything like that, what are you taking about. It even mentions that sizable number of companies have negative guidance.

I think the point, the author maybe didn't intend it as such, is that Lisp generally encourages the creation of many domain specific languages. You have the tools to fundamental define completely new language abstractions that feel ver

If the AI is at the stage of understanding these topics, debatable as that is, then why would you learn them as you can't compete against the computer, it can work 24/7 with no sleep. If the AI doesn't understand then you are

This is it exactly, it's the cost of capital and living that is the problem. If our countries had control over their own capital and provided utility at cost the economic development would be easy. Instead we're charged monopoly r

From my understanding non of those are Ukrainian design and so it's as i said a testing ground for other countries.

by Guthur 2y ago
Pretty sure they intentionally screw it up. It means that the populous will generally think that the government can't provide effective utility at cost and so private equity can move in and provide equally bad utility at monopoly rent

Which drones are produced by which Ukrainian companies? From my observation it's more like a testing ground for other countries systems.

This wasn't a flippant remark either. Read Henri Bergson Time and Free Will for some thought provoking analysis.

That is not where Apple's growth has been for quite some time, it's services. And because of that I'll be awaiting the economic rental strategy to come at any moment.
