He's pretty good at spinning his destruction of everything good in this world, doesn't change anything, he's still the same scumbag.

Current AI valuations are delusional, which sort of makes sense since so is the technology and everyone hyping it to hell and back.

Worse is the fact that some will escape, spreading their messed up genes and diseases to wild populations.

That's one perspective. I worked at a Norwegian company that ran 5 huge ships gulping krill 24/7 in the arctic region. Once you see the scale of operation, it becomes pretty obvious it's a problem, and I'm pretty sure th

I'm pretty sure part of the reason is younger people are easier to manipulate and slap around without consequences.

I get the feeling that Python is finally reaching the critical mass needed to significantly improve performance, good times.

Great, another global medical experiment. At least this one is voluntary. You don't increase profits by solving problems, you increase them by causing addiction/worse problems down the line.

Emptying the oceans of krill isn't a very good idea either unfortunately, and that's pretty much what we're doing.

I met plenty of Norwegians while living there who refused to eat local Salmon, they have a pretty good idea where it comes from.

There are other kinds of consciousness than human, plants are aware of their surroundings.

Because memorizing things is far from the most interesting aspect of consciousness.

What if growing bigger, more connected brains is the next evolutionary step? Doesn't seem entirely unreasonable to me.

The fact that we don't have a viable alternative yet doesn't exactly mean that the language is in good shape.

That would be a mistake, probably. But if it keeps randomly happening too often, I'm sure pretty soon someone would get mad, because they're not even trying.

I feel like it's more the reason why they're missing, than the details around the actual miss, that makes people (rightly) dismiss the tech. If I had a coworker who was just winging it all the time, sooner or later the trust/

That however assumes a level of team autonomy that's not happening much from my experience. And the consequences from a disaster are very likely to affect the entire org.

I've been writing C++ since 1996-ish. Less and less, for sure. Nothing the past few years. They killed it.

Exactly, we don't understand, but we want to believe it's reasoning, which would be magic.

Well we do know pretty much exactly what they do, don't we? What surprises us is the behaviors coming out of that process. But surprise isn't magic, magic shouldn't even be on the list of explanations to consider.

That's how I learned to do migrations/major refactoring from my mentors back in the days. First brute force it, observe but don't panic, until you don't get any further. Then start over and do it properly.

Clojure runs on the JVM; this is the opposite, Java in a CL compiler. Besides, there's more to Lisp than Clojure.
