Compare this to the human controlled puppets Tesla demonstrated. Tesla made a big show of something Disney could do years ago. While Boston Dynamics is quietly building the real thing and showing us footage of it actually working.

What most don't understand is that the economy IS us caring for each other. When you go to a restaurant when you are hungry, or a store to get what you need, or a hospital when you get sick, you are getting care. Virtually most people

Not sure why you are downvoted. His ideas are held so loosely he was a Big Tobacco shill. What are his loose ideas currently shilling?

I use Raku for production. It's great for orchestration, or writing a quick server. Text manipulation and processing is amazing. I'm shocked it hasn't gotten more adoption in the LLM space. You would think someone would make

How do you know he didn't lobby for them?

Exactly! It's like that Skinner Simpsons meme. Are unit tests the problem and I'm wasting my time? No, it's the config files that are wrong.

Exactly. Private companies like space X would not exist if NASA didn't deliberately make the market for Private space companies. That's what governments do, make markets.

You need to watch "All Watched over by Machines of Loving Grace" by Adam Curtis which outlines Silicon Valley's long Libertarian roots. Making money and greed has been deeply embedded from the start.

Not a Rust developer. How is transmute different than casting in C++?

Hippos can't swim. Things are about to get weird where people will start believing strange things. We already have people believing Trump helped people during the hurricane, with images of him wading through water (that are clearly AI

The issue is that his bias creates bad reporting. There is always bias as you mentioned, but his is so bad that it clouds his judgement. There are many users who use Mozilla's products not because they are superior (though I think fire

I was hoping it would talk about the most important tipping points, the climate ones, but unfortunately it does not.

Exactly, Sam Altman wants group think, no opposition, no diversity of thought. That's what petty dictators demand. This spells the end of OpenAI IMO. Huge amount of money will keep it going until it doesn't

It's not enough to look at averages. When growth happens, someone benefits. If you have a very unequal society, which the U.K. is, that benefit goes to only a few people. On paper it looks good, but the lived reality is different.

The money you have to pay taxes comes from public spending. The government has to spend first before collecting taxes, that's how money works. The money to buy government bonds comes from spending too. In fact, if the government didn&#

The reason it's so poor is because for over 10 years it was run by a conservative government bringing austerity to the people, making them poor. They deliberately increased inequality. Inequality is a huge problem and it's disappo

I read the article. It frames "left-of-center" organizations as bad an inappropriate for a tech company. It criticizes Mozilla of supporting social justice causes. It questions why is Mozilla spending money on anything other than

I don't believe those children who died care about definitions. In fact they don't care much about anything anymore since they are dead.

The secret purpose of Scrum is to get rid of managers and empower the engineering team. Most "scrum" is simply taught wrong because it was sold to companies as a way to squeeze workers.

Inequality continues to rise. Everyone around you is getting poorer. More unions would help stop it, or at least slow it down. We need more unions, not less.

You do realize this is a government funded project right? If the government wants to delay it by 2 months for environmental reasons, they can. It's not like Musk is paying for this himself and they are getting in the way.

I bought one. No regrets yet. I use it for both reading and note taking.

For those astute, workers owning the means of production should sound familiar. Mondragon demonstrates that it can scale.

What I'm disappointed by is that in the hundreds of years of capitalism, there has been little or no scientific research that looks at what structures create companies that have the desirable attributes we want. The fact that Paul Grah

We already tax unrealized gains. The US has property tax. When you buy a house, you pay a tax based on it's worth. We just don't have a tax on legal fictions (paper property like stock). The question is, why not? Why can't we

Is there a universal measure of intelligence for AI? Why not? Why should there be one for people?

Replying here to your last post here because HN won't let me reply to it (maybe too nested?). You say nobody is arguing against contracts. > So you'd prefer your contracts to blow up your bugs in your clients' faces, rathe

I updated my original post with examples. I also included this research paper from Microsoft that shows a clear advantage of contracts and code quality. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uplo
