Amazing what industry is permitted to do in the name of progress (or profit). You have a highly polluting process with byproducts you don't want to deal with, so you just spread them out into the atmosphere for everyone else to suffe

As long as governments continue to allow housing to be treated primarily as an asset, then housing is going to be subject to asset inflation. The investor class inflates the value of the assets, meanwhile the working class are just struggli

I don't know squat about AI research, but I was excited to hear that Carmack is getting into it in a big way. Even took OPM. This is exciting to me because, for one, he is smart and talented and driven and might be able to make signifi

Yeah, "brittle", or "fragile", or "tightly coupled to the implementation" In any case, it's not good. Also not uncommon.
