I'm so excited to try GUIX. Right now I'm on Apple Silicon so I can't get it to work even in a VM, but the second I've got an x64 ISA computer I'm using GUIX

One argument I often hear in my corner of the internet is that AI is one of the only remaining sectors of unregulated, meritocratic activity. The smart people have been pushed out of the real economy, so we're congregating here. EXIT b

The Roman Empire began with a corrupt Senate murdering Caesar for being a dictator. Based on Rome's history, the surest sign would be for JD Vance to murder Trump, declare democracy saved, and then Trump Jr to become emperor of NATO.

I'm thinking of what the replication crisis means for figures like Jean Piaget and Marie Ainsworth. Go take a psych class and they'll be among the first you learn about. None of their stuff replicates. The curriculum I took at com

I actually really enjoy dinosaur movies when I watch them with my toddler. To him, big dinos chasing people is pretty much peak cinema. Watching it with him is so much more entertaining than doing it alone, and tbh, the last thing I want to

Yep, I sometimes go on 4chan's /f/ board to see what people are creating. They even have a little on-site emulator so you don't need to have Flash installed on your system.

I was so excited to give Nix a chance, but I'd prefer to program in Guile rather than Nix, so now I'm excited to give Guix a chance lol. Going to install it this Wednesday on new laptop, wish me luck

Once, on a previous account, he actually replied to me. It's like a kid going to guitar center and the guy who replaces your strings is Axl Rose. If you're on here, Walter, you're my hero. I also once interacted with Brendan

On the other hand, it's only doing this accidentally, right? It could probably be optimized further if the goal were just transmutation. Who knows, maybe we could get all the way down to only 10 trillion per ounce! /s

Wouldn't it make them dead weight, too? Their status as merely "economic" elites seems like a shaky position if the world becomes post scarcity.

You'd love threading macros in Racket: https://docs.racket-lang.org/threading/index.html It's like Unix pipes for functions: (~> "hello" (string-ref 1) (char->integer))

I just filter my RSS subs through a locally running LLM trained on my journal to judge my interests, it then decides what to curate for me based on a prompt (sometimes something totally left field, this stuff always, etc)

I appreciate this, but feel the opposite way. Getting super good at all the Unix flags for commands used to feel super useful, but now it feels like a ridiculous waste of my human intelligence. I'm very concerned about leveraging my hu

Yes and no. In swaths of the world, we're actually observing a reverse Flynn effect and IQ has been dropping, in some places for decades. Eg: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a43469569/american-...

>learn from our mistakes Oof, I wish I had the optimism to even consider this a realistic option. If we thought social media power was a threat to democracy, wait til we see what AI companies do.

With protests, the goal isn't even to arrest + charge people - often, just an excuse to shutdown the protest or revoke a permit would suffice

I made an AI assistant telegram bot running on my Mac that runs commands for me. I'll tell it "Run ncdu in the root dir and tell me what's taking up all my disk space" or something and it converts that bash and runs it v

Wouldn't reducing the profitability of landholding via taxation discourage the creation of apartment buildings, thus reducing the supply of housing and making it more expensive?

> Washington is, from a lot of angles, a gerontocracy. This goes deeper than one might suspect at first glance. The word "senate" comes from sennex, or old man, the same root word as "senile"

In real life, people are spending years looking for jobs making enough to barely survive. I should tell them about your video you saw, if only they know.

I've used it in Racket, which is not exactly "popular" but common in universities as a teaching language. I actually built a fairly popular Tor hidden search engine in Racket nearly a decade ago, but I quickly shut it down wh

Here in Guatemala they have regional avocados which also are terrible compared to Hass. What's cool though is that they grow all over the place and they're dirt cheap. Once I went to a park and realized the tree at the park was a
