This seems good, honestly. A degree from a third-tier college doesn't do anyone any good except the administrators at that college.

You could replace every software engineer on the planet with a perfect LLM tomorrow and it would not lead to mass unemployment-triggered riots. If you're talking about software engineering specifically, you're not correct. If you&

I was just reading comments the other day where people who dragging a company because they apparently used AI for some low level copywriting stuff. No art assets, no code (so far as anyone knows), not actually writing copy but more like &qu

This doesn't seem at all related to the above comment - or anything, for that matter. Nobody is suggesting we "replace labor" with LLMs.

Isn't that a perfectly fair argument if you can articulate why?

Where do you source these "millions of reports" from?

This is a really interesting framing to me. You say "forced," would you have preferred to give them a better grade even though they didn't do the work because they were smart?

Ah yes because I am definitely saying that the captain of an airliner is free to commit tax fraud. That's definitely something someone with a functioning brain could believe I meant, and not a complete straw-man bad faith interpretatio

Referring to someone airdropping an image over a protocol you specifically opened up as "psychic violence" is even worse than referring to it as simply "violence." Words mean things. I know it's popular to pretend t

Do you see how what you said is irrelevant whether it's the right way to think about it or not? The captain saw it, or had it brought to his attention, and decided to get rid of it. End of story. It doesn't matter whether or not i

No - someone dropping a picture to your phone when you have the ability enabled is not violence by any definition used by people with functioning frontal cortexes. Maybe it's good to remove the "Everybody" option, maybe it&

Yes. The captain has the authority, by law, to remove anyone (or everyone) for any reason. There is basically nothing the captain is legally barred from doing while the plane is en route.

> That is a very, very, very different statement than "I'm calling the FBI." Yes, but on an aircraft the captain is the dictator. They can do basically whatever they want within the confines of law and company policy - and

The house gives you a place to live, so the PFI plan is either a huge miscalculation (not a great place to start when you're making a numerical argument) or intentionally disingenuous. Interest rates are closer to 6.7% which means your

We've been in our home for about 5 years now, but we bought down the interest rate as far as we could so our break-even point is still a year or so out, not counting appreciation. Our realtor told us over and over again than if there w

This is the answer - there are plenty of move-in ready, turn-key homes that require basically zero maintenance unless you want to remodel or change something, but those cost more (sometimes a lot more) than the ones that need more TLC or tr

Authoritarianism didn't work in the past because it was too hard to control that many people. You simply didn't have the scale unless you were willing to roll tanks down city streets, and even then all it did was buy you an extra

Is there a term for this weird autistic pseudo-nerd-sniping where someone pretends not to understand a very common expression and takes it absurdly literally to try to prove a point?

This just seems like a progressive PAC. Which, okay that's fine, but not exactly giving "weaker government" vibes, just "we want our team in charge for a bit" vibes. Happy to be proven wrong, though.

Surely your ISP can see every URL you visit if they have a reason to? They're routing the traffic.

On the flip side, every company I've ever worked for has installed trusted company certs on their computers and do MITM everything.

Man I really hope this doesn't get autoflagged because people need to see that this is an opinion people actually have, and what the (justified) reaction to it is. HTTPS on a blog does nothing. It doesn't protect you from anything

You think the secretary at one of the Flock offices feels personal disrespect hearing about a camera 2,000 miles away getting spray painted? Someone writing code for the web app? The guy wiring up the solar panel? No, I think for 95% of the
