They will come but unless the quality is better than what we have for image and text generation, the same thing applies. 95% is not good enough for most serious applications, so it’s not going to replace most jobs.

Long Island and Westchester fight tooth and nail to prevent development: we spend billions to improve train service on LIRR, but no large apartment buildings can be built near the stations. It’s just single family homes owned by hedge fund

If you commit to eat sleep and breathe art and you are lucky enough to never get tired of it you will succeed. Draw and paint as much as you physically can. Keep an entrepreneur’s mindset and hustle. Be prepared to use technology to stay co

- The world produces far more food than necessary to feed everyone. The fact Americans are rich enough to e.g. let a pack of strawberries rot in the fridge is not a huge moral failing. Hunger is a political problem, not a logistics proble

The United States is not crowded whatsoever. We have no dense cities other than New York. Nobody is forced to live out in such remote areas, not even refugees. If you choose to live out in the middle of nowhere you’re going to have to pay f

I believe that is exactly what they’re doing. What better excuse than a deadly pandemic to assume totalizing control over people’s lives?

Imagine a hose in the bottom of a bucket, but the opening to the hose is lowered below the bucket. The flow would go in the wrong direction. So without the elevation step, this project would drain the lake.

In many policy discussions on Twitter I see the stock reply “Land value tax solves this.” Surprisingly often, it does. Unfortunately doesn’t solve the problem of clickbait headlines!

Conniving scum skimming off the top is a large is part of the reason it costs $108k/y/pp in the first place. A simpler system is less prone to fraud and embezzlement.

Guile-Emacs is no longer alive. The only other project similar since then has been remacs, but that aimed to replace the C core, not elisp. It also lost momentum. I believe adding parallelism to elisp will be more feasible and successful th
