The only thing that can help this is an enormous export tarriff on eWaste unless it is shipped to a foreign processing centre run by a company that complies with the exporter's labour laws.

As Bill Mitchell once told me (in person) "Sure when all work is removed by automation, assuming we share the gains of productivity equally, a Job Guarantee automatically becomes a UBI".

Yeah recently Rail Workers in Sydney struck and one of the things they objected to was driverless trains. It just makes them look like fucking idiots.

It might be a good idea to get some training or coaching. I learned Sandler but there are probably others. There is a book that’s an intro to the system called You Can’t Teach a Kid to Ride a Bike at a Seminar

Perhaps the emphasis should be on being raised by Linux. I think that using FreeBSD and in particular the mailing lists was as important to my engineering as my university education was. The chat rooms I frequented on freenode generally had

I can’t see the pick in the shared link but when I tried with 4o it gave me HIIILO EDIT: maybe it’s influenced by my custom instructions and memories. I write code all day with it and I have custom instructions specifically to get the type

This reminds me of how the alien brain species in Futurama went about gathering all the facts in the Universe. "Beavers mate for life, 11 > 4"

Nice! I haven't had a go at flux yet but I'll keep that in my back pocket for the next time I need to spell a word using vegetables.

Not bad! I just tried with 4o and ChatGPT is still failing hard. Have I just inadvertently invented a new benchmark!?

It’s acceptable from toddlers but by the time kids a tweens/teens (maybe even a little earlier) they almost always know the answer and “why”is actually just a complaint. Why in general can also be an emotionally abusive complaint, for

"Why" is the laziest question a child can ask. I don't answer the question anymore I just ignore it. If they actually think ahead and come up with a more interesting question I'm happy to answer that.

I think it's actually predicated more on hiring the type of people that will be easily parachuted into FAANG companies through acquihires. I had long conceived of YC as basically a glorified recruitment channel for FAANG but when YC sa

I agree. Rule of thumb: imagine that every hour spent making pretty pictures with Figma is a week's worth of development time. Then people won't feel so great about all that time spent on "UI/UX" before the coders e
