A metal lathe is the fundamental machine tool. You learn how to calculate feeds and speeds, plan depth of cut, thread cutting, parting, etc. You learn about surface finish, chatter, cutter shape... Why rob students of this? Should nobody le

The same lack of context is what (I think, if I'm feeling charitable) makes these people think AI is real: If you spend your entire day in meetings, you might reasonably think that you'd be better off if all your meetings were fac

> If that sounds like conspiracy level crazy, it’s because it is. Stating the facts of this situation makes one sound like a conspiracy nut, which is strategic. It's part of the fascist project of reshaping the perception of reality

It's more than that, it's unbelievably dangerous. There's a reason world leaders don't do stuff like that in public, we just signaled loud and clear we're absolutely not to be trusted. If China wants to make a move

Blow something up or get in a big war. Something to rally the nation around the flag and get them to pledge fealty.

IIRC these organizations were originally formed in reaction to how badly contractors screwed up the original healthcare.gov rollout? So if the idea is to replace them with a private sector contract who gets it? Palantir?

> I wonder if Trump is a KGB asset. It's easy to read into his parroting of putin's talking points as deliberate, but I think it might just be "wannabe mobster" talk. If anything it's probably a little more nuanc

I don't get it. Watched the first video, and it seems like the LLMs provided no value at all? Like, you already knew where the bug was, and what the bug was, and they couldn't find it? So 20+min of messing around with prompts and

Speed would enable some kind of search algorithm (maybe like genetic programming). But that would probably only be useful if you have encoded your expectations in a carefully crafted test suite. Otherwise speed just seems like a recipe for

It's not an "argument" any more than any other insane faith cult fantasy. Like the aliens are gonna land and rapture us up in their spaceship to the land of fairies and unicorns.

It won't be indefinite, eventually the nukes will fly. On a long enough timescale, whether it's this war or the next or the one after that we humans are going to pull the nuclear trigger. The question is "for what reason?&quo

We don't have a good sense as a nation of the consequences of our actions. People don't believe things can get very bad here in the US. Zelensky said it himself, we feel safe because we have a big ocean separating us from the war.

The consumer facing applications have been so embarrassing and underwhelming too.. It's really shocking. Gemini, Apple Intelligence, Copilot, whatever they call the annoying thing in Atlassian's products.. They're all complet

Yeah but I could make this shit up in like.. 15-20min/mo vs working for a living like a normal human person. I'm just imagining the sheer number of vertical feet of skiing I'm missing out on and seeing red.
