Sure, and why not? And there's an even higher level of government above that one. And if we really start misbehaving, there's an international level above that one... I think compu…

You don't need to print anything, just visit your neighborhood hardware store

You can make all of those things. First you pick up two sticks and rub them together real good (maybe use the inner bark of a hickory tree or similar to make some cordage s.t. you …

Manufacture a bunch of guns with a lathe instead lmao. Or if they try to take that away, forge weld smoothbore musket barrels the old way with bar stock spiraled around a mandrel. …

The next town over from where I live has basically no rules. No zoning, if you want to turn your property into a junkyard go right ahead! Even still, people are successfully fighti…

In a lot of systems the kind of rigid guardrails we have in computers are counterproductive. It descends into a epicyclical, fractal mess of special-cased exceptions, none of which…

OK but I already gave it 2yrs. How many 2yr grace periods do they get before it becomes clear they're simply lying? It really doesn't help to have stuff like this in print: > a tec…

It's a Scott McNealy quote[0]. [0] https://www.information-age.com/mcnealy-and-ellison-usher-in...

> a writhing mass of copulating tapeworms What a metaphor! I will file that one away for some glorious future opportunity.

Why not include 6 then? I remember when I got the Marathon Trilogy Box Set from the Apple store (before they were called that) in Keene, NH whenever the fuck it was before 2000--ma…

Thanks for the link, that is an interesting writeup!

> Nobody got "left behind" from the Internet, even cranky 80 year olds... This is actually false. There are plenty of 80+ year olds in care facilities and living alone that are dis…

As far as I'm aware they never explicitly kicked the generational hornets' nest, but I'm not a scholar of AI goober drivel

> You guys have the opportunity to be generation AI—where you come into the workforce saying, ‘I know this a lot better than all of you' Yeah, it was expressly my intent to shut th…

I'm old too, it isn't about that. He's desperately trying to guilt young people into glomming onto his profoundly uncool thing by playing on some ancient "digital native" trope. It…

Such an out of touch attempt to get the youths onboard the hype train.. ok boomer.

They're all clowns. None of them are credible. TBH this extends much further down than the C-suite. Generally it seems like something happens to people's brains when they hit rough…

Yeah unfortunately there will be some high quality reports that get erroneously discarded, but so long as the signal/noise ratio improves sufficiently that's an acceptable price.

The problem always existed, but nobody amassed a sufficiently large army of trolls to exploit it until now. So it wasn't a priority to solve it before, but now it is. We're going t…

Yes, it's a pyramid scheme. There has been no real tech growth products since Web 2.0/mobile. VR/Metaverse? No. Web3? No. AI is another attempt at a manufacturing a synthetic, vira…

Yes, however the companies that are responsible for doing it have already shown their asses a little bit with all the jailbreaking stuff, and we know they produce really awful code…

Yeah giving up is totally a viable choice, but it isn't the only option.
