Yes, you learn why supply + demand curves do not actually describe many markets

There's loads of other inefficiencies as well. Moving is a huge hurdle. It's difficult to find housing that meets dozens of conditions, and even then you don't respond to supply + demand imagined equilibrium, you pay more or

They also teach you about elasticity in econ 101. It's foolish and anti-intellectual to insist that the housing market has only two factors, while simultaneously condescending about your understanding of economics shows that you really

This is "Open Hardware" which usually means open PCB or chip schematics, so people can modify or extend the board. OpenWRT is "Open Software that runs on closed hardware". After checking a couple, Kind of seems like a lo

Glad to see they are applying some rigor. I've started removing AI-heavy projects from my dependency tree.

What gets enshrined into law is a function of what powerful people in the society want enshrined. And these companies, their executives, and their beneficiaries are infinitely more powerful than individual users. In many ways the legal syst

You're wrong because you are making the wrong comparison. In this analogy, The guy down the street didn't cook his own steak. He told someone else to cook the steak. And then claimed that he himself cooked it. Telling himself, &qu

Because they don't "got it". Asking the bot to program is the same as asking a junior engineer to write some code, and then claiming it as your own. It's not actually them programming. Just a misplaced sense of pride.

We shouldn't move away from tech, because Anthropic is hiring 100+ people to prompt a chatbot to write code? Hahaha, how fast we've fallen. Not to mention Anthropic has a huge conflict of interest in making you think nothing is wr

If software development were democratized, then decisions that software developers make would be made democratically. On or off the job. On the job, the workplace would be run democratically, instead of as it is now, dictatorially. Or off t

Yes it's very obviously written by AI and made me immediately close the tab. Not gonna read a self-promotional piece written by an LLM that someone probably only gave it one sentence prompt: "merge these ideas".

by tkel 8mo ago
Right, people misuse this term "democratized" all the time. Because it sounds nice. But it's incorrect. Democracy is about governance, not access. A "democratized" LLM would be one in which its users collectively ma

This kinda misses the larger point. How are billionaires created? By the structure of the capitalist firm. The capitalist gets all of the wealth created by the organization and unilaterally can decide what to do with it, running the organ

People don't realize that "philanthropy" is a standard way for ultra-rich to peddle influence and store their money to avoid taxes. Many philanthropies invest their donations and actually make money off investments every year

Are they still able to own corporations in California while living out of state? Then it's still a bug.

They threaten to do this every single time there is an election in NYC. And studies have shown that they are lying. To try and manipulate people. The rich are actually far less likely to move. [1] https://fiscalpolicy.org/m

So it's an AI spambot?

And we need platform operators like Github to ban these bot accounts that obviously have harmful "soul" documents

by tkel 8mo ago
This is so absurd, the amount of value produced by this person and this bot is so close to nil and towards actively harmful. They spent 10 minutes writing this SOUL.md . That's it. That's the "value" this kind of "

It's also a question of class, fundamental to the structure of capitalism. This is the same problem ALL technological progress goes through in capitalism. Workers are not the ones in control of the organizations. Capitalists, the owner
