It redirected a potentially apocalyptic cold war into the peaceful development of fundamental science and new technologies - and into a project which unified all peoples in newfound understanding of ourselves as a single species, miraculous

Cory seems to think LLMs are little better than Markov chains. His anger is exhausting in its ineloquence (“enshittification”), ignorance (“spicy autocomplete”), and general disdain.

Water systems and sewage are luxuries, not an ecology. The Earth and its ecology is a life support system - it’s the only one that’s ever existed for longer than a human generation or two. Though human maintenance is not required - we are i

On the contrary, the casual lies inherent to marketing - to capitalism - are absolutely something which should disgust you. That casual dishonesty is endemic, or that it elides complexity which may escape the average intelligence - these ar

“Spliff,” by the way. “Split” would make heaps of sense, but sense isn’t this word’s milieu.

He is a fastidious and interesting writer. I nonetheless found both these novels disappointing. They seem to be porn for engineers. Like all porn, the lead character is a cardboard cutout with monomaniacal motivation. (It seems revealing th

Nah. It’s a midsize forum. Reddit is bigger. Mumsnet tier.

Freedom of association - the right to tell someone to get off your lawn, or your website - is free speech too.

Interesting - but I don’t assume malicious intent when incompetence is a simpler explanation. Wealth does not imply universal competence, though it often gives its beneficiaries such a delusion.

The big deal is the cowardice and ignorance of these parents. A smart child raised by parents who fear and censor media contrary to their ideology or morality is a child whose future has been stolen. It is a theft from society as well. Why

The FAA prohibits pilots from drinking 8 hours before a flight. They further recommend 24 hours of abstention. It’s not okay, Zircom. https://www.faa.gov/pilots/safety/pilotsafetybrochures/media...

It’s filled with grammatical, typographical, and logical mistakes. It’s disorganized. There are many sentence fragments and few whole thoughts. There is no thesis. One paragraph contains only sophomoric leading questions. The name Grusch -

Yes but that never caught on - your premise is flawed. The polluting, antisocial, and climate effects of the car meant is was no more than a fad, popular for a few generations in the early Anthropocene before dying out. Perhaps if teleporta

Correspondent contends that we’ve failed to spend society’s surplus productivity on an increase of leisure. We’ve rather created makework for vast segments of society who are no longer needed in a productive capacity but can hardly be left

It’s not being forced to work - the option to quit remains. Consider a case in which a majority of society excludes a minority from most commerce. Are ghettos, ‘separate but equal,’ and whites-only fountains not worth preventing?

My most unambiguously successful ancestor was the one who invented fire, or the one who got the hang of oxygen breathing. One expects their lives were brutishly unhappy.

The financing side of things is not trivial. The margins on production value are slim for all but the biggest blockbusters.

No, other cultures do not have a name for an extrasolar planet just discovered. Moreover, the extant names from the Roman pantheon are universal within the international scientific community. They are also nearly exhausted. I find it tediou

Sure we can. For example, by generating enough greenhouse gases to insulate the planet and raise average temperatures. Isn’t this a website for engineers? A strange forum for mystical Gaia reasoning.
