AI is very good at writing C and asm. It even writes good Verilog. Unfortunately.

How is paper money any less of a social construct? How is a gold coin that you can't actually use in any other way than trading it to another hairless monkey?

Ah yes, Russian bot can't count. But now that this cliche has been pointed out to you - you won't be able to unsee it. You're welcome ;)

At least they didn't forget to use the exact phrase "full-scale invasion" everywhere, including what was supposed to be a direct quote. It's really quite funny. I think the former chief editor of Pravda now holds a high

The Lean Startup methodology is likely applicable only within a very narrow niche: a newly discovered green field with plenty of low-hanging fruit. Web apps in the late 90s and 2000s. Mobile apps after that. Agent integrations now. Thes

With attitudes like this, Americans might just go from exporting revolutions to domestic consumption within a generation!

I wonder where folks like this came from, and at what point did people who associate themselves with hacker culture decide that censorship is great. The OG hackers thought of censorship as network damage that needed to be routed around. Peo

Those stories aren't very visible because they are BS. Few people are dumb enough to think than a puppet government set up by an occupying force will improve their lives. Those dancers are either paid actors or not very bright. The do

The US has already nuked a civilian population. Twice. It remains the only country to have done so. And somehow not poly is it not a pariah state, but people think of it as a leader of the "free world". In fact, all school age

However, there does seem to be an outsized effort applied to defending this not-real thing. A leader who defies the petrodollar has a good chance of getting killed or kidnapped. In a way, the same principle makes any god real: he doesn&#x

Sure - every country has their own angle. And if you don't seek out a varied media diet - you'll only get one side. If you are curious, open up Wikipedia and check out what year did Lviv get attached to Ukraine, who attached it,

Ukraine is far from a monolith. It's an agglomeration of bits and pieces attached in the aftermath of WW2 to a Ukrainian core. But there are plenty of ethnic Poles, Hungarians and Russians whose lands got attached that don't ide

Sorry, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. The ladders are simply not comparable, even in the Bay Area. Sure, at the entry point where one transfers from the IC ladder to management compensation can even drop. However, that&#x2

This article periodically surfaces in some shape or form. There's this idea that there's a "dual ladder", and the IC ladder offers just as much respect and compensation as the management one. This is a lie, and the soo

Or us introverts just slowly die out simply by being absent from the gene pool. However, judging by the article - we seem to be winning. Somehow.

Does "almost 100% of the time" count as a lot? So far almost all chatty strangers I met have been either crazy or Amway cultists.

Yup, because there are plenty of opportunities to get tokens to feed your family outside of moving those rectangles. Not.

There's also that large scale effort ongoing to make those energy costs higher and take those raw materials away. And even still - there's a lot of manufacturing in Easter Europe. Go to IKEA or an appliance or auto store. You mi

USA is already effectively priced out of manufacturing due to high labor costs. Doing things with the "correct choices" simply makes the impossible even more so.

Nobody (OK, maybe a few very special people) is saying that COVID was a hoax. What is true - and one wasn't allowed to say - was that the measures intended to prevent COVID weren't very effective and did more harm than good. Ah y

The same aversion to leadership positions can be seen in most engineers. The difference is: the horse doesn't expect a promotion to happen by itself.

In the village, the horse works the hardest. But the horse will never be elected as the chief.

This was good. The author found a way to say what we are all thinking - and isn't getting canceled for it. That's true talent.
