I also agree but the autonomous part comes from coding. We build autonomous systems with code, so it AI is really good at writing code (it is), we increase automation. Not with the AI itself, but with what it produces. Which is good, for ma

Really only large language models require huge swaths of training data and extremely expensive training/inference. Other “AI”, like basic neural networks or something like path finding, is basically free. It’s just an algorithm, a smal

LLMs are very good at convincing people they are learning, because they give answers quickly and fairly accurately. But that makes them bad teachers, not better teachers. The fact that LLMs are good problem solvers is to their detriment w

Particularly in NYC you can’t just build housing - there’s nowhere to put it! The city is already incredibly dense and most land is already used for housing. Your best bet is demolishing lower rise buildings and replacing them with high ris

I guess we can compromise and say two clicks and some key presses. On KDE: Press meta, type "discover", type "discord", click "install". Or, if you use KRUnner, press alt-space, type "discord", click

I mean, the fact that relationships are falling apart is a big problem and I have A LOT to say about it. I just generally don't say too much about it, because it's a hard topic and you can't address it without bringing up the

The water usage from AI is so comparatively low that it doesn’t matter. This is where the vegan point comes in. Do you eat meat? Congratulations, you consume 1000x more water than a dozen vegan vibecoders pumping out slop 24/7. It’s go

It really depends on how much you use it. If it's hours a day, you are a power user, and you'll learn the shortcuts. Otherwise it's annoying.

Basically everyone in a white collar job who is NOT a developer is using Excel. I'm a developer, even I have to use Excel at work.

XML being overspec'd is good, IMO, because we get things like xpath, XLSX, schemas, etc very easily. It would be fine if people just use libraries for these. I mean, I certainly wouldn't roll a JSON parser by hand either, even if

Where this falls apart is commercial software. The issue is we use off-the-shelf frameworks and tools for commercial software. And then we don't train developers on how to write high-volume software. Commercial software is THE power us

Right but amphetamines are supposed to have the opposite effect. You’ve seen people on meth, do they look calm to you?

It’s not a myth - the vast majority of women on birth control experience no side effects at all, and many actually get improvement in adjacent conditions like endometriosis and PCOS.

We most definitely have all the nutrients the population needs to stay healthy. We have basically every vegetable ever, available all year. Ditto for fruits. Meat is in abundance, same with dairy and eggs. I don’t think it’s an issue.

Nobody, but maybe it's a similar phenomena of how people choose brands. Where, people tend to buy brands they recognize most, even if they don't actually know much about said brand or it's quality. Trump was the name on every

No, AI can greatly help with research. It helped me a lot during my cancer treatment, which was very complicated. Which makes sense, every cancer is different, and mine was quite crafty and unique. But that's it. It helps with research

That depends, Trump certainly wants a fourth term (yes, fourth, he's counting the one that was "stolen"). I think, realistically, the limiting factor won't be the politics, it will be his health. He's 80 years old.

Right but this is actual policy. The Trump Administration does actual policy built off poorly formed fiscal reasoning. That's why we see blanket tariffs. There is no strategy. Maybe some smart people, somewhere, would hypothetically ha

I'm not sure food is a concern at all in the US. We have a shit ton of agriculture, and we have some of the highest obesity rates on the planet due to our immense surplus of food. We also have the biggest military by far, and it&#x27

Virtually all modern music uses pitch correction in some way, often very subtly. The human voice is not perfect, and it's very common for even incredibly skilled vocalists to, say, drift slightly flat on a long held note. Or have one n

Yes, I agree. I think what people are maybe not considering is that while the aspects of the job can technically be automated, them being performed by a human cannot. As a human, you get special privileges. You can get more information ou

Right but then the robots would produce wealth, but they cannot own it. So you need to redistribute the wealth. Which is, decidedly, not capitalism. A little bit of wealth distribution exists within American capitalism, through monkey-patch

It pays peanuts because we manufacture furniture in China for pennies on the dollar. All of the factories have moved out of the US, and artisan goods were dead long before that. Immigrants aren’t stealing those jobs. Those jobs no longer ex

The US was diverse from the beginning, with a large black, indigenous, and white population. Again, at the time we did not consider black Americans to be Americans. But we certainly do now, and have for a long time. Yes racism existed in th

Yes, I meant that Intel and AMD laptops have caught up to battery life, due to the chips. I have both an M1 Pro MacBook Pro and an Asus lunar lake laptop. The M1 battery life is… good. But again not what Apple claims, if you actually use th

On the battery life front, both Intel and AMD have caught up. Apple greatly inflates their battery numbers; to get 18 hours, you need the lowest spec model and you need to basically not use it. Chromium or Firefox open? Bluetooth active? Ye

> What do I need any higher specs for, other than battery life? To run poorly made software. Despite Apple having the best hardware around, they still manage to slow down M1 devices on Sequoia. Somehow. I think it’s a double-edged sword.

We certainly do not have an oversupply of labor. In fact, we're quite short on it. The demand for many jobs is very high. In fields where immigrants often work, that is, blue collar labor, the demand is VERY high. We simply do not prod
