   It's not their fault for doing it, it's your fault for pointing it out.

   I feel bad for tech workers they were laid off. And civil servants. It's the same people orchestrating both!

   You do realize it's your bosses that hate you and want to replace you and not random civil servants?

   Given time to "pursue their passions and interests", most people chose to turn their brain to soup on social media.

   The Battle of Marathon is much cooler. The Athenians were winners too.

   For me, being able to notice when you mess up your own calculations. It doesn't help that we teach arithmetic operations ass-backwards (smallest to largest instead of largest to smallest).

   They promoted things like "accessibility", which is woke of course.

    However, steelman-ing shouldn't imply a lack of object permanence.

    I think LLM codegen still requires a mental model of the problem domain. I wonder how many upcoming devs will simply never develop one. Calculators are tools for engineers /and/ way too many people can't even do basic receipt

    They'd be right too soon. The ICE has been a very useful technology but car dependency has been a nightmare for society. Forget a bicycle for the mind, maybe LLMs are like an SUV for the mind.

    I don't trust LLMs with the truth. I think they are an amazing tool for !!!generating!!! text; but they're wholly untethered from any sort of ground truth. Unfortunately what will happen, and I hate being right about, is that LLMs

    I do. I don't even fault Trump for lying anymore; he's famous for reneging on his word. I think the media in their quest for "objectiveness" seem to have given up on object permanence. "Surely the leopards with thei

    Trump is happy to golf and sign EOs. Musk... Has probably cooked his brain on a combination of stimulants and ketamine and Neo-Nazi Twitter. He's living on entirely frictionless life because of his money and thinks his scions will be t

    I think you could convince people that their municipal water treatment facility is waste and fraud. They're dumping the chemicals into the water! And for what reason? It already comes out of the tap just fine; why do I need to keep pay

    How does down zoning lower housing costs? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it.

    Thanks! IMO people just don't like change and a lot of motivated reasoning comes from that. We can't just decide our cities are full and stop building.

    You don't get it. Prices are going up because developers are building apartments that no one lives in. They just write it off. Or something. Supply and demand be damned.

    The reading comprehension in response to this comment is atrocious. It's apartment complex /owners/ who aren't paying energy bills because their tenants are.

    Because they're not paying for it, the tenant is.
