The human propensity to anthropomorphize computer programs scares me.

At least half of that isn't Chinese land, and claiming otherwise promotes ongoing genocide.

What are the "growing harms" the article mentions them flippantly. "Nearly 2.8M" comes from an estimate of 2.75 million and a qualifier that the exact number is unknown. 1) Most young men with CHS just quit or switch to

I completely reject these policy statements based on the data laid out. Standardized education is failing and doesn't fit the modern world. We need radically individualized education. By 2050 no student in the school system should spea

uhh. What? If you think "everyone knew this" then you thought a falsehood.

Reading and thinking you understand other people's code is trivially easy Reading and actually understanding other peoples' code is an unsolved problem You draw an analogy from the function you wrote to a similar one. Maybe by s

People from the US are totally unaware that their leaders are unpopular abroad! If only traditional media didn't have such a stranglehold on the US population The people would know they would... I fail to see the point of pushing this

I can't help but draw parrallels to the systems programmers who would scoff at people getting excited over css and javascript features. "Just write the code yourself! There is nothing new here! Just think!" The point of progr

Why are Q2 and Q3 missing. My guess is that they show a higher incident rate than Q1. Let me verify that, oh wait I can't. This article is pointless Besides there is so much noise here. You ate fish before going to the doctor to get yo

Interesting that they are still going with a testing strategy despite the wasted time. I think in the long run model checking and proofs are more scale-able. I guess it makes as agents can generate tests, since you are taking this route I&#

Did we read the same book? Wasn't Winston fixing historical records? Sure he just directly rewrote them, but that's not a job. A job makes it look like you aren't fudging the numbers. But the result is the same. The CIA has a

I'm glad we agree that "just use postgres" is horrible advice. Would you except "Just use postgres for client-server" as a reasonable change?

Not really. Surveillance might create an arbitrage opportunity, but insurers hate data they can't trust. The more data the more noise.

Google already won the AI race. It's very silly to try and make AGI by hyperfocusing on outdated programming paradigms. You NEED multimodal to do anything remotely interesting with these systems.

We've sold our future. Weep for America. If you weren't planning an abortion, now's the time to think about it. Nobody cares about these companies. They are just looking to jump the stock so they can bail. Shameful. Oracle in

There is no "solving cost of launch" even if it was 10x cheaper, for 10x lighter data centers that's still hundreds of flights and billions just to get the raw materials to GSO for the performance of a single data center, wit

I'd like to see data centers in the ocean, before space. Water there is near 0c and doesn't boil til 400c-500c.

This is less of a lament that software engineering was replaced by AI, and more that the challenging work has been cooped by large corporations. Mainly through weaponized bloat of platforms

It's inevitable even if it's unnecessary. Capitalism necessitates 6% growth year on year. Since IT services are the growth sector of course 25% of power will go to data centers in 2040 The EU should do a radical social restructuri

Investing and scalping are two different things. When you invest the pie grows larger, scalping you take more than you can eat from the existing pie. Very few companies are investing into AI, most are engaged in scalping, hoping they are bi

Creating classes that bypass productive labor is possible. You then force workers to subsidize them. This maintains "full employment" on paper. The country, however, remains on the brink of collapse.

Every political group hates every other one. Every time "anti-hate" groups come to power there is a purge often followed by genocide. Singling out one specific emotion is irrational. If Palestine had full US backing they would pus

I don't buy your "theory" at all. Learning requires curiosity. If you want to know how something works you will do all those things irregardless if you saw it in a book or an AI spat it out. If you don't you won't.

The goal of any study is to build a mental model in your head. The math curriculum for example is based on analysis so we gain an intuitive feel for physics and engineering. If the utility of building a model for research is low (essentiall
