That's why I still use an abacus.

The value of AI is not in generating code. That's just a "nice-to-have." The value of AI is in having a scalable, human-like decision maker that you can plug into anything, anywhere. This has unlocked countless use cases for

I have seen absolutely incredible, best in the world type engineers, much smarter than myself, get fired from my FAANG because of the performance games. I persist because I'm fantastic at politics while being good enough to do my job.

AI may slow coding a bit but dramatically reduces cognitive load. The real value of AI isn't in helping coding. It's in having a human-like intelligence to automate processes. I can't get into details but my team is doing thi

Working in big tech it's pretty wild to see how integral AI has become to our work internally, vs the public perception of it. People are NOT prepared.

It will invariably be reduced to "saying mean things on the internet" by the government. I do not understand why people are so willing to give governments an ever-increasing amount of power. People never learn from history.

Security engineer here. Bundling these together actually makes sense. - Message attachments are blocked because Apple has not figured out to serialize and deserialize attachments without buffer overflows. Look at how many zero days are due

Mechanical watches are certainly becoming more popular. Counterculture movement to the Apple Watch phenomenon.

Doing what he needs to avoid tariffs is fine in my book. It's practically his responsibility towards shareholders.

I'm also a shareholder and I'd say I'm pretty happy with Apple not needlessly getting involved in fights. The most important thing is not getting tariffed. Their reputation will be fine, no one but the terminally online are g

Energy burnout isn't real. No one collapses at their desk cause they skipped breakfast and had to give an update in standup. Unless you're super hypoglycemic I guess.

X is irrelevant here. Go to any post on the topic in r/news, r/politics, or default r/all and half the comments are celebratory. That isn't good for society. We know Reddit plays a role in radicalizing violent activists

The "employment gap" stigma is so frustrating. I want to find every recruiter that thinks it is okay to stigmatize this, and smack them. My girlfriend is currently suffering a lot because of this because she had to go on extended

Interesting viewpoint - I don't necessarily agree, but I see where you are coming from. Thanks for engaging!

I don't think "the humanity of something" is a factor that plays any role in whether something is morally okay or not. Suffering is the factor that matters.

I guess our difference is that I don't view the suffering of humans as any more exceptional than the suffering of other sentient beings.

I think you're just deliberately being obstructionist and entirely avoiding the point I'm trying to make. Calling the core point of the argument a "distraction" is very convenient for you. Torture is bad no matter how yo

Everyone knows cows are sentient (not sapient) in a way not dissimilar to a pet, everyone knows factory farming causes immense cruelty and suffering to them, our peers call this out and the text+video evidence is well documented and freely

Slavery was obviously wrong but you cannot judge those that didn't understand this. Consensus matters. The morals of the time matter. It was a societal failing over a personal one. If you think you can judge someone by the morals of to

This is incorrect, offsetting also includes carbon capture through a variety of mechanisms (often trees).

If you think I'm dismissing chattel slavery, you're misinterpreting my argument.

Incorrect. There were some people that understood slavery to be a unique evil. The vast majority of humanity understood it to be "just how things were." Really, not much different from how we view factory farming today.

It's time to get off your high horse. If you eat meat, future humans will regard you the same way as we regard the slave owners of yesteryear. Perhaps even worse. Judge people by the ways in which they push their society's morals

What are you even talking about? He was a shining example of what healthy debate looked like. I cannot think of a single other influencer that debated as openly as he did, on either side.

This kind of dooming extremist rhetoric is why we are where we are today. No, it is not the "last generation of a functioning world" and we will solve climate change like we solve every other problem.

They were not intentionally killed, the security forces were untrained in the use of rubber bullets and shot them directly at protestors rather than having them ricochet off the ground.

Platforms like Reddit and BlueSky need to be held accountable for promoting violent rhetoric, as well as the users that openly call for violence. A child could write an LLM backed script that filters out calls for violence.
