What are some examples of uncontroversial figures who would be willing to offer funding, in your opinion?

Well if it's moral for gatekeepers of talent to hoard immense intellectual rights to be protected by the violence of the state, then I'm immoral in that sense. Information wants to…

> The least these companies can do is to publish everything they own Well, being able to talk to superintelligent all-knowing savant 24/7 on your phone for $20 a month is also some…

The author blames capitalism and religion while greatly indulging in his pride, I think. It is so much beneath him to ask for help from others, he’d rather change the world so that…

I think you described not monolith vs microservices, but single person working on a project and making decisions vs multiple. “Everyone’s responsibility is no-one’s responsibility”…

There's a nice Java library called Clojure with a lightweight syntax if you need to work with data structures and concurrency in Java a lot: (println (json/generate-string {:provid…

I have a very simple and easy solution: allow any person with any medical education from any country around the world to practice medicine in their field of study, and relieve them…

Design (output of designers) and copy (output of copywriters) are subject to the same copyright law as code (output of programmers). Programmers are not the only people whose intel…

That’s kinda my point. We don’t have usage caps not because they are technically hard or impossible to implement (they’re not). It’s because the leadership thinks (likely correctly…

I am very sure what you’re saying is not true. It’s a viable-looking technical excuse, but you can easily understand that it’s false. Let’s make a thought experiment. CEO of Cloudf…

About three weeks ago I was seduced by people singing praise to OpenClaw, and also by the fact that OpenClaw team burns millions of dollars of tokens per month on developing it — s…

They don't force anybody though. People who think that the renting is too expensive and is not worth paying, are free to either 1) move to a place that has cheaper rent, or 2) buil…

I'd really love to understand why you see it that way. In what way do investors force anybody to do anything?

> people like AOC who are working in the interest of society People like AOC just pander to uneducated populace who'd prefer to use force to take free stuff of other people who wor…

> A more equitable distribution of company profits does not imply the company loses money. It does not imply useless make-work jobs. I fully agree, and remind you it's completely l…

> Because labor gets exploited to make the owners richer Only a person who never tried to organize labor into a company could ever have such a couch-sitter opinion

I think "non-sequitur" is an incorrect phrasing here, it means "does not follow logically from the conversation that preceded it".

Square brackets’ use is very consistent and rather logical in how they are used in Clojure’s syntax. When round brackets are used, the first element in the list defines how the res…

As I understand, earlier forms of life used RNAs as building blocks (instead of proteins encoded in DNA->RNA), so protein-based life _was_ a completely different form of life. Some…

Did you think it rejects bots by using some kind of magic?

I feel like people who program in JavaScript or whose projects pull megabytes of dependencies, don’t get a moral right to complain about this. You guys just sit and calm down this …

Yeah US is 64th lol. Totally unbiased
