Have you checked webmaster info via whois for the domain? I know, it's generally obscured and all nowadays, but there might be a way to contact the author, if they aren't MIA.

"Tech", as in use here, is the VC-tortured shorthand for "anything to do with computers or the internet" and maybe other fruits of hard science like energy or biotech. The term's similar to content, influencer or cr

You hear this or that in Germany. Demand yes, pay meh. It's probably true if you own the company, but there's also disgruntled folks who apparently got treated like shit during their apprenticeship and who snicker at their former

And it's not just in programming-related jobs either. Parts of industry and the blue collar market are shitting themselves in Germany right now. Two people I know have been let go (pumps and wood sectors resp.). Another (metal construc

And if you look at e.g. Bachelor's enrollment in CS it's somehow still rising in Fall of 2024: https://nscresearchcenter.org/stay-informed/ That's gonna be one rude awakening.

Not everyone is cost-constrained. By the time you could get to your agents, your life may have already been obsoleted. If you let it, actual AGI can discover and execute its own path to maximum proliferation almost by definition... It'

Employment reorganizes around non-automated activity. This means lots of blue collar newbs. Of course robotics isn't slowing down either... Big Capital will decide what happens, when labor has no value anymore.

Any specific program you recommend? Reading stoics is nice and all, but that alone won't make intellectual and emotional space coincide, I feel. In fact having the suitable brain chemistry may make you a stoic, but can you influence th

AFAICT debugging the subroutines responsible for the emotional set point isn't possible yet, so a definitive answer will have to wait 'til another day.
