If I told you there are certain eye conditions/deformities that impact the refraction of light based on the wavelength? Lasik side effects can (and do) include increased distortion…

Hate that I'm biting on this, but this isn't constructive, whereas AI generated or not, the comment above is. It is the top one, it is succinct, and it articulates the point clearl…

Who is selling these with enterprise trappings? What you're describing evaporated 2+ months ago. Everything is metered for enterprise users now. If there happens to be a stray vend…

I agree century timescales are tough, I'm not convinced 4 of 5 of your listed things have been solved. Rubber has been replaced with oil. Fertilizer has been replaced with Natural …

The Goal was written 40 years ago and talks about, among other things, the paradox/illusion of local optima. This isn't new, AI coding assistants are at some level just another NCX…

Off topic but of all the Mooney images ever made, why a scary clown? That aside, working with complex systems and constraints there often isn't an aha moment, there's just a decisi…

Indeed, the job of an SE is deviating further and further from code, much like how very few people write assembly anymore. An earlier iteration of your reply said "Is that really w…

Given it's 2025 and companies saddled with tech debt continue to prioritize speed of delivery over quality, I doubt the craftperson will win. If anything we'll see disposable syste…

I'd wager in bad economic times if someone can afford a new car, they would buy something more subdued as to not stand out. In good economic times they wouldn't feel that same soci…

This is novel to me. The last line is critical though, this only works if you are out-investing a maxed out 401k. Meaning, after investing over $20k, if you are investing an additi…

ChatGPT is that curation, isn't it? Consumes a bunch of info that no human ever could. Develop a map of said info. Generate content. Rinse and repeat.

Timelines matter here. Nation states separated by centuries are different than a child on the tube. At a certain threshold things become human history and we should be able to rise…

I would have agreed with you back when I only watched concerts that cost $20 bucks and the seats were General admission. But lately most acts I see are $100+ and you're assigned a …

If you read the post the timer from the race flagged her and the event owner said she could stay in. So the system did flag her and those in charge ignored the recommendation of ra…

Fair point. Rectors enjoy a great deal of privilege, but heavy is the head that wears the crown. I don't have the Russian credentials you do so I'm only able to guess at reasons so…

Under duress you'd be surprised what you'd publicly support. It's not as if every Russian has the luxury to say what they want and not fear extreme retaliation. Instead of "Russian…

Isn't that a Nissan leaf?

Does OP directly say that? Comments like this show exactly the kind of racism white males are coming up against. They're assumed to have privilege and access to ivy league networks…

It matters in principle, but probably not in practice. If it comes down to choosing who next to make rich off search, why reward those who've already benefited creating the modern …

Lots of questionable people behind that. Head of monetization at YouTube? Head of ads at Google? Keep scrolling and their investors aren't much better. Why won't they pivot to sell…

Approximately 12.1% in default. I wonder what percentage of the $1.73 Trillion in debt that 12% makes up? Forgiving loans will continue to increase demand (and prices) for housing …

All this is does is hurt the local shipyard. Do you think the next buyer of a super yacht is going to build there? Or even smaller yachts now that there's a political limit on the …

Did some high level research. Looks like the data sharing is of the Blockchain itself which when decentralized saves storage for nodes, but is a limited use case. Torrents do decen…

That's basically replacing regular currency buying a service. The earlier comparison was to commodities and crypto's difficult to value nature. I won't argue you can't buy goods an…

Oil has utility. I can make plastics, fuel, or lubricants, and sell the refined product at a markup. You can value oil by the value things that can be made with it against the cost…
