Solo-dadding, hopped up on cold meds, both of which are impacting social media attention which I’m only giving attention anyway because of the cold. Think a bit literally; reading …

The government regulates their existence, their ability to grow, hire, develop services. Section 230 regulates what is allowed. DMCA, etc etc You say I should not be silly but I ca…

You think he’s wrong about how great government control would be, but the government is in control.

As inequality has grown, so has the deficit. But for decades, government programs ran surpluses. It’s not hard to explain it away in memorized economics terms. The thing is those t…

I don’t mean the glyphs, “math as a language.” I mean intuition for state change in our meat bags. I mean measuring and building things that fit what we’d call in language now a us…

People say the same after a long, solo walk in nature. A more apt headline would be “doing a variety of things instigated valuable state change in our biology.” Qualified answers a…

I’ve been in meetings where rich elders openly admit to ageism; who cares about the problems this will create, they said, they’ll be dead by then! This was back in the 00s before t…

Humanoids have been around for millions of years. In universal timescales language has existed as long a TV. I’m arguing figurative identity built through linguistic structures is …

Human languages are ~5,000 years old while human intuition for quantity (enough heat, food, water), spatial geometry has evolved along with us from the start. GabeN has discussed h…

Such an idea has been discussed for centuries. Adam Smith warned division of labor would lead people to become “…as stupid and ignorant as it is for a human creature to become.” by…

So its about technical guidance, not approval to include code. Got it.

Jason open sourced the project. Why would they need his approval?

The article was observed, not the events. I know PR people who plant such articles for profit, all the details are vague enough to seem possible. Even the supposed pictures of eng …

Anxiety and a lot of gossip can make people do dumb things, like make non-technical middle managers issue stupid edicts because they don’t know about git logs. I’ve worked for orgs…

Perhaps Twitter is staffed by middle managers who sell well in interviews but have zero fucking clue. I’d like to see Twitter fire the cottage industry of professional non-contribu…

He’s certainly made people believe he’s rich! But making a lot of money in a market that’s organically interested in tech the last few decades still does not make Musk literally th…

Space man has direct impact on my agency; I need to believe in money and wealth for him to be rich. I really don’t get the general public deflating the value of their self agency f…

There is no right to zero consequences for speaking freely. I say give users the moderation power and let aggregate voting dictate content that remains visible. No one wants public…

That’s true about McDonalds; one can say the brand has value but it’s just an attempt to influence belief. You’re not actually making any kind of new point. Just expressing your de…

Yeah it’s all indirection to generate hype for a new way to manage electron state in a machine. You see, it is beneath Jack and Co. to participate in the real work of keeping thems…

Outsized success story is high minded gibberish. He’s riding on the coattails of his family’s mining business with a suspect ethical history. I love these “don’t punch down the peo…

I did not mean just tech workers. Society follows the demands of a minority of wealth holders. Science minded engineers who prattle on about doing for science not “story mode”. The…

I love living in a society where oligarchs can have their way with us and that’s “freedom”.
