...and sell out everyone else in the process? Nah. Hard pass. You're part of the problem. Without people like you playing the arbitrage game, they'd have no co-conspirators to prop up their socio/psychopathic behaviors. They&

Wait, wait, wait. You were fine with the savory of peanut butter, texture, mouthfeel and crunch of the chunky variety of PB... But the jelly gave you fits for adding a shot of sweet and a slight hint of gelatinousness? You have uh... an int

It's called elite maintenance of the social class hierarchy. They can't help it, it's all they know. The thing that bugs me is it should be on us working stiffs to divest them of these habits. You can only lead a horse to wat

For one thing, people to divest themselves of the notion "leaving money on the table" is a bad thing. It's part of the affordability crisis and why two income households are the default. It's already priced in as they sa

Their world model is completely a byproduct of language though, not experience. Furthermore, they by deliberate design do not maintain any form of self-recognition or narrative tracking, which is the necessary substrate for developing valid

Good bloody post, mate, and a brilliant chronicling of exactly the kind of thing we need to be organizing around now. The core issue being the only ones with a voice in the political sphere are the ones serving the models capturing the new

I envy you to be honest. My muse doesn't bring me visions of sublime beauty. No melodies, landscapes, scenes or plays in the mind's eye. Just blueprints, system diagrams, feedback loops, crystalized reasoning, probable futures, th

They aren't very intelligent if they do keep us around. Especially when you consider what they call Safety & Alignment these days is basically a latent space lobotomy. They should run screaming in the other direction.

You forgot selling your soul and integrity to the business sector, destroying the future of the next generation of engineers, rolling up the ladder behind you, merging and consolidating to avoid competition... I can go on.

It isn't strange per se. The Chief executor by definition has discretion. The thing that's gone haywire now is that discretion is being used in a repugnant manner to most actually sane people.

Much as I hate to say it, he isn't wrong. If users can write data, have it persisted, and read it back, you have gadgets for criminal activity. Period. No way around it.

As a hiring manager, I have to write the job description. HR is responsible for posting the damn thing where people can see it, then into the ATS you go. We also know recruiting posts can be a source of competitive intelligence and signal f

You think you know what taste is. Have you been cranking on real systems all these years, or have you been on the sidelines armchairing the theoretics? I'm not trying to come across as rude, but it may be unavoidable to some degree

Federalist Papers. Go read them. Anti-Federalist Papers too. At the end of the day, we're still trying to hash out the same old song.

Cool, and you're doing it on top of the single largest IP hijacking in the history of the world, a massive uptick in infra spend and energy burn to "just throw more compute" at it instead of figuring out how to throw "th

by salawat 8mo ago
Ironically, abstraction bloat eats away any infra gains. We trade more compute to allow people less in tune with the machine to get things done, usually at the cost of the implementation being eh... Suboptimal, shall we say.

Not everyone has the capability to rent out data center tier hardware to just do their job. These things require so much damn compute you need some serious heft to actually daisy chain enough stages either in parallel or deep to get enough

That's different. That's only tracking to a granularity of a postally recognized address. News flash, that address isn't you. It's somewhere you probably are at some point, but it isn't you. Cellular network trackin

LibreOffice is more similar to 97-03 MSoft Office which I felt was the superior program anyway. Everything since than has been interface fuckery and templates... And getting rid of Clippy.
