I don’t understand why doing this with normal Java is difficult. Just have a list of objectives. Each objective is a class. The autonomous loop picks the next objective from the list and each tick, asks if it has finished, if so get the nex

Money doesn’t grow on rich people, you don’t need to increase taxes on the wealthy in order to ensure full employment with no inflation risk if you use a Job Guarantee

Hey there, this is tangential but you just launched limited MMS support in Australia, but no voice and not 2-way and from what I can gather only on the Optus network. I offer a virtual mobile number that does voice, txt and mms in Australia

If the population is steady (as it will be by 2050) then you don’t need to increase production unless it’s to meet needs not already met. So the growth imperative now is mostly focused on job creation because people keep getting born. Growt

Degrowth is totally stupid as a movement.

Well it's not hard to imagine a "quick compile" option that uses a traditional compiler and an optimised compilation option that you use when shipping a production build or something while AI catches up in terms of speed.

I have bumped up against its limitations from time to time, and sometimes after a while working on the same thing it just totally loses the plot, but by and large I get phenomenal results. That being said it may be good at some technologies
