I’m optimistic that because LLMs have brought down the cost of the mere act of typing out code that we will see a shift in focus on certification and verification. Preferably with some legal protection for customers that are sorely lacking

Google used and endorsed it at a critical time back when the mainstream media machine was inflating their image. Even programmers like to ape celebrities and by extension Python was the choice of the sophisticated and well-read hacker in th

Epstein had a subscription to Intelligence Squared. I feel like his whole character has come into focus for me. I would have put the “release” part in scare quotes as anything important has been redacted.

Its output might violate speech codes, and in much of the EU that is penalized much more seriously than violent crime.

“State capitalism” would imply it serves the overarching interest of the state. Pretty sure this is just good old-fashioned graft. If Chevron and Google want to go about their business, then you have to pay the mafia don his vig. Just like

I’m pretty sure if the Iranian missile program had not demonstrated its ability to exhaust and defeat the sum total of all western missile defense production and force a truce, that the discussion would be around which European population w

I feel like I may be insulting your intelligence with how obvious this is, but the Israeli government has had turning Iran into a failed state as an open policy objective since the 1980s. Given that Israeli interests have achieved this end

Thus, by their fruit, you will recognize them. Heckling is a lot easier than creating. Personally, I think we have an over supply of “ideas guys“

It’s a complex issue which deserves a complex explanation. I wouldn’t oversimplify and discount that at least some people with decision making clout in the US want Maduro to be made an example of. Nearly all leaders in the Americas (includi

That the US cannot win a war is silly. The US could erase every population center within a few minutes. The core issue with US military policy is nobody can agree on what the goals are or what the appropriate level of force should be, and t

You might be surprised. Disney is a pretty good example of activist shareholders undermining the value of their brand for purely ideological reasons. This is a little easier to wrap your head around when you recognize Black Rock-type situat

Yeah, I’m pretty sure you need to sharpen your pencil on this one if the conclusion was that the Apollo program was legitimate.

Would the US security leviathan give away other people’s money for highly current floor plans of every residence in the country just on the 1-in-a-million chance they decide to kick in your door and shoot your dog? Probably.

Deprived of all options by the manifest oppression of the Republican Party, American youths of today face the grim choice between shoplifting Louis Vuitton below their AG’s prosecution threshold or working several hours a week in the shadow

Having used Bentley software products I can tell you with complete certainty that professional software developers have extremely bad judgment when it comes to the need to test software and verify its functionality. Developers just think th

I already assume everything, and I mean everything, that I read in any comment section, whether here or sewers like Reddit, X, or one of the many Twitter-but-Communist clones, is either: 1. Paid marketing (tech stacks, political hackery, Ru

Which is the better value: Hundreds of tests that were written basically for free in a few minutes even though a lot of them are kind of dumb? Or hundreds of tests that were written for a five figure sum that took weeks or months, and only

I’m impressed by getting the output of at least a mediocre developer at less than 1% of the cost. Brute force is an underrated strategy. I’ve been having a great experience. That developers in the Hacker News comment bin report experiences

Nobody had a robust, empirical metric of programmer productivity. Nobody. Ticket count, function points, LoC, and others tell you nothing about the fitness of the product. It’s all feels.

Hospitals were paid much more for the Covid patients that died than those who lived. There’s some very strong circumstantial evidence about this driving treatment protocols.

Trades also have self regulation. You can’t sell plumbing services or build houses without any experience or you get in legal trouble. If your workmanship is poor, you can be disciplined by the board even if the tool was at fault. I think f

I’m not suggesting comirnanty is wolbachia. If there is reproductive harm, or reproductive harm passed on to children, then we will not know for a long time. I believe that you’re well read on the CDC’s messaging on this topic. I’d like to

You really aren’t going to know how this MRNA in egg and sperm cells are going to affect offspring until you have offspring to observe. Effects like wolbachia could take multiple generations to observe.

I don’t think it’s possible to know anything conclusive about the safety for a few decades and a generation or two of affected kids can be observed. Given that finding harm would embarrass important aristocrats, I don’t think that evidence

You may not be old enough to remember Edward Snowden or Mark Klein (who went unnoticed), but there never was anonymity. My pet theory is that this requirement is part of a mob war and porn and whatever else the MindGeek people are involved

The evening news was once a trusted source. Wikipedia had its run. Google too. Eventually, the weight of all the the thumbs on the scale will be felt and trust will be lost for good and then we will invent a new oracle.
