A small island has 20 residents. One farmer works full time to grow enough food to feed everyone. One carpenter works full time to maintain housing for everyone. The other 18 people work full time reciting incantations to the gods to preven

If the core issue is ending exploitation by capitalists and not about breaking machines, if you don't want to return to a world without automation, if the machine is just a strawman, then why do you describe yourself as "anti-AI&q

Because life would be so much better if people still had to spin wool and weave cloth by hand, and grow their own food by digging in the earth with no tools. Use whatever means necessary to stop powerful people from exploiting you and steal

When the Fed purchases bonds, that reduces interest rates, and lower rates make asset prices go up. The Fed purchases the bonds with cash created out of thin air with a journal entry. That newly created cash is used by private actors to pur

If equities are "too big to fail" then governments will do everything in their power to ensure prices continue to go up. If the right price for equities is 30% of their current value, and if achieving that price means the regime w

A system that is closer to physical, tangible reality is more "real" than one built on many layers of concepts, beliefs and ideas. Just as "real assets" like buildings, machinery and metals are more "real" than

The international "rules-based order" is a good idea when most nations play by the rules most of the time, and when the most powerful at least pretend to follow the same rules as everyone else. A world order based on rules makes i

This is straight-up Baudrillard simulacra/simulation. The moment you say "Dao" (or "Agile", or "methodology"), you've already moved from the thing-in-itself to a sign living inside a sign system. That

There's no way to stop sprites from the CLI. Supposedly they auto-stop when inactive. But I've tried multiple times and they don't stop, and it's not just Docker that prevents them from stopping. I created a new sprite a

If you're not willing to pay for your own LLM usage to try a free resource offered by the author, that's up to you. But why complain to the author about it? How does your comment enrich the conversation for the rest of us?

The depreciation schedule isn't as big a factor as you'd think. The marginal cost of an API call is small relative to what users pay, and utilization rates at scale are pretty high. You don't need perfect certainty about GPU

The question is not "how do you make reddit work over mullvad". The question is "if reddit can block mullvad why can't China".

This was in the early days of HANA, I'm sure they've fixed the defects by now, but it was shocking to pay nose-bleed prices for every 64gb shard, and then have basic SQL return provably incorrect results. It was a catastrophe, and
