Poe's Law strikes again, but maybe in reverse? "[...] without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken for a sincere expression of those views." http

The author's "utopic" notion of having an AI between your brain and spine ready to intercept neural impulses and hijack your body the instant you step out of line is about as horrifying as the "dystopic" scenario at

Since the author is running dual processors, they will need to account for NUMA domains. That is, half of the RAM is assigned to each CPU, and performance will suffer if a thread on CPU 0 is accessing memory belonging to CPU 1. numactl[0] c

There were so many cool exotic systems that I read about in books and magazines, but never had the resources or knew the right people to actually play with. Parents and school admins barely knew what that newfangled information superhighway

Lucky you, my stakeholders would run screaming for the hills whenever they caught a whiff of written code on PLCs. All ladder, all the time.

...and when WEI reaches mass adoption, your privacy-oriented clients will eventually be locked out of essential services. I sure hope you have a big war chest for litigation.

Certainly. However, everyone is the hero of their own story - even those boogeymen thought they were doing some form of good in their sophistry. The WEI devs apparently do too.

On the other hand, it's uncannily similar to former FCC chairman Ajit Pai discarding public commentary as "fake" in favor of whatever the lobbyists shoved in front of him during the whole net neutrality thing a few years back

It can be argued that it is a market dynamic, and (if you were to somehow control for everything else) the difference between the pay of an game programming job and an average white-collar boring office programming job is the market's

by snerbles 3y ago
There are market dynamics. It's like game devs and pilots - a cool job lots of kids wanted to do growing up, so there's a glut of new talent eager to be used up and burned out for pennies.
