Most of the world looks that way and it's largely a consequence of their culture. We've spent decades saying that the US's culture was immoral for various reasons and did everything we could to import foreigners from places l

One of the first things I did when chatgpt came out was have it teach me pytorch and transformers. It's crazy how LLMs seem to have a better understanding of how they themselves work than we have of ourselves.

I think it indicates stronger internalization of the "theory" (using phrasing from "Programming as Theory Building.") There's a kind of "nesting" thing 10x/100x programmers do with code and it tends t

I think I have this scope or a very similar one. I got it for free from someone else. (currently in storage.) It's a great hobbyist scope although mine doesn't have a DFT function which can be annoying. I've been borrowing a

If you're not dating anyway and don't own your house outright prison with computer access honestly doesn't sound bad at all. No need to worry about rent, no need to worry about healthcare, no need deal with all this social cr

Does it make sense for me and a bunch of friends to go to Thailand and protest the way they run their country? No! We'd be (appropriately) deported for that. Anyone would say that's insane. The same is true here. That obviously ma

Oh no I might have to spool them instead and not be influenced by the cybernetics either. What a tragedy. Maybe they'll figure out how to block yt-dlp and I'll have to watch the few valuable math videos from their creators sites.

Not for foreigners. Allowing foreigners to join political protests in your country is a trivially and obviously insane thing to advocate for.

Heh I didn't notice it didn't have the isolation transformer. That is odd.

Assembly isn't free, either an engineer or the PCB fabricator has to put that together. Also the design isn't free and it's certainly not necessarily going to match the behavior of the device on the other side. But your lapto

It's the same thing a lot of the people on the right were complaining about ten years ago. Most people don't seem to understand these contradictions until it affects them. Watching this happen twice has really killed the idea that

A lot of people (surprisingly often Indian Americans for some reason) don't like to hear it but India and to a lesser degree Mexico is probably going to be the China of the next decade or two. It would be insane for China to not do tha

Ethernet seems far easier to prototype with. There's almost no off the shelf stuff for talking to RGMII whereas Ethernet you can just plug into your laptop for testing. If it's two different teams building things it seems like it

I feel like the null TD algorithm is much better if you want a "hello world."

It's not just Python. You see this a lot in Javascript and Groovy too. Really I think what makes languages with manual memory management and limited built in types like C nice is it forces people to really think about the types and int

As someone who's career has involved managing large numbers of deployed Linux and BSD machines: what's wrong with scripting? It's expressive, debugable, repeatable, easy to communicate about verbally and on wikis. If you want

That's our point. The limit of this is no serious social collaboration. You can't have cities, you can't have industry, everyone lives in small tribal villages until they get run over by other industrious people.

No it runs well on hardware. I ran it as my primary OS for years. It actually has a few neat features that are only useful when booting into it like LBU. That was great for getting the last couple years out of my old macbook pro. The hard d

So your software broke my machine then you tell me it's my problem and wonder why people are angry and frustrated with you? Do you see why most competent people's reaction is to just use something else? systemd might even be techn

Do they? I used FVWM's MWM theme for 13 years starting from when I was 12 and was pretty happy with it. I've been using CWM for the past 6 years with roughly no changes and am happy with that. Having themes and UI changes forced o

I build things, just not things anyone else wants. Other people absolutely do seem to have violent tendencies without coercion. People don't naturally collaborate the way you see them in the developed world no.

Zero years. http://swiley.net/arglassescroped.jpg It's just a matter of packaging and selling it the way the palm pilot was packaged and sold as the smartphone.

Right but the natural state of humanity without real social norms and meta norms is to just form small, violent, relatively unproductive tribes. Civilization doesn't scale without rules.

We already have a pretty steeply progressive income tax. Part of the problem with schemes like this is that the wealthy have the resources to dodge them so it mostly just creates problems for the productive middle class.

Oh yeah I forgot that's why I deal with insane corporate administrative bullshit to write bad software that solves problems only generated because of the scale of the internal social interactions: because it gives my life meaning. You

I love looking at Coreweave's long description for their stock. It says AI 32x. That's huge AI to price ratio!

Ah yes, I'm sure adding more automation and policy between people rather than just letting them talk to each other and do what they feel like will solve the problem of people not talking to eachother.

The absolute lack of vision in post millennium HP leadership is so toxic to innovation. It's a good case study in the pointlessness of obsessing over tech company financials.
