huh. I remember a time not that long ago when companies had to have a plan to actually, you know, make money in order to attract investors.

Ask Gemini why google maps doesn't have a weather layer. Its justifications are defensive rubbish, even for Gemini.

Humans are all different. Like dogs. Chasing a ball, professionally, for millions of dollars a year, gives some very rich and famous humans a sense of purpose. Laying on a beach an…

Idk. If I were a billionaire I'd be terrified, and not about simply finding a way to save my own skin. It would seem glaringly obvious that things can't go on in a way where 99.99%…

What else had capital been doing for the last 200 years?! It works when the financing loop is not zero-sum. It only leads to catastrophe when you get too successful and start to bl…

Right, so... like yes, leaving net wealth aside, what Elon spends in a year on necessary purchases may be 0.1% of his net income, and I spend maybe 20% of my income, and a person m…

I mean, but, if everyone gets $12k, then doesn't $12k mean nothing? If I'm buying a car or a house, and the guy I'm bidding against is getting a $12k check, and so did I, then he u…

I mean, it's obviously that they think they're going way beyond LLMs to get to something that is profitable, like some ultimate goldmine of intelligence. But if they miss that targ…

The IAEA will be up your ass right now just for running a small nuclear reactor in your basement. WTF. Can't make your own power, it's illegal to grow your own tobacco, what's next…

So LLM profiteers have bought up all the consumer RAM for the next several years in order to deliver more of a service we're already oversaturated with that doesn't turn a profit..…

Or: Supply and demand oscillate in a delayed way based on each other. A quick increase or decrease in one side takes time to ripple, and by the time it does, the organization may h…

Must be nice to be in the 10% of the population who are citizens. Apartheid labor so so sweet.

Right, but that's the double edged sword isn't it? If you pay them to do nothing, they have nothing to do. If my income is going to subsidize that, then they'd better literally do …

Because if there's one thing billionaires should be scared of, it's billions of people suddenly becoming estranged from the economy. Having governments pump money into the consumer…

I agree with you. People need purpose. Ever owned a Border Collie and spent a couple days without giving it something to do? It's bad for the dog and dangerous to your home. So yea…

My mom did that too. She got an oil check and wiper fluid filled up, and gave a nice tip to the attendant. And that was in Los Angeles where there was definitely no weather-related…

I live in Oregon. Up until last year , you weren't allowed to pump your own gas in most parts of the state. The law required gas station attendants to do it, as a scheme to keep th…

The problem with all existing GUI coding system is that they make it really hard to make anything other than the types of things they were designed to make. You could do it, but yo…

I think that's true. One caveat: If you're a solo coder like me, you almost never get to talk about implementation details with anyone who (a) understands or (b) gives a flying fuc…

I hadn't seen it before either. I solved the branches in my head in a couple minutes, and my initial impulse was instinctively 4-4-4, but until you said trinary I didn't think of i…

Yea but then instead of being an architect and an engineer, you're basically just a customer.

Or a pile of bricks.

Yeah, I'm this way. The best is when I have a job that gives me an opportunity to learn something new, or create a reason to learn something difficult along the way... but I'll try…

You're missing the whole point of IRAs. You said: >> well I would have paid tax anyway if I just saved it The point is that as long as your money is in the IRA you can earn interes…

Oh but it is something society needs to worry about. https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/movies/hannah-arendt-making-hu...
