    And when you need water for drinking or showering do you go to the well to get it?

    You miss the point entirely little bro. Modern water-moving infrastructure is qualitatively different than two thousand years ago. Why would modern education be exempt from a simil…

    That's a strong observation. And I'm wondering if humans will adapt; or if the intensity of "heat and light" required to "weld" connections together is non-negotiable.

    And how many aqueducts lead to your dwelling today?

    This assumes every degree is valuable in the marketplace, which is simply not the case. The product is luxury attendance, the degree is secondary to that.

    Definitely the case that LLMs still face a "not actually rational nor conscious" problem. Einstein once said physics is like looking at the outer movement of a watch and attempting…

    The definition of mastery in your comment sounds like nonreliance on technology to accomplish [something]. Technologyless Mastery was a natural result from: reliance and overrelian…

    Couldn't agree more, and yet, attendance itself is a commerical product.

    I still think naming things is more important than ever. You can let the LLM decide how to name things, and spend days or weeks refactoring things. Or you can get your sketchpad ou…

    Pretty crazy idea. I know I sometimes just "wave through the motions" when I'm taking notes. For example, when I am reading a book, I often take notes of my favorite quotes/sentenc…

    Already did. Github owns and controls NPM, npm is no longer a community-controlled project. Therefore, Github should [happily] take on the duties, responsibilities, and obligations…

    Not only does the molecular composition of something matter, but also the geography, climate, terrain, terroir, season, temperature, and more, amounting to "where" it was sourced f…

    I don't appreciate a pedantic interpretation of the analogy; consider any marketplace where the sellers are not the platform: Amazon, FB Marketplace, Etsy, eBay, and so forth. When…

    And absolutely nothing in your company charter says the military won't be allowed to buy it. Y'all think we've never seen a Terminator movie before, huh.

    You say "free software" but npm is no longer a small open-source project with a federated rulership, it is owned and operated by a for-profit technological giant. There was a radic…

    Take for example the Sony Walkman, even if you want one really badly the actual factories that make the specialized parts have gone, been repurposed. Or a specific color yellow tha…

    In my opinion, things like scanners should not need to exist if npm's parent company, GitHub, were to take responsibility for what was published to npm. If Walmart sells you an ite…

    Your logic breaks down at the critical point of sourcing: not only must we have the means of production and the schematics, we also need the original materials required to create t…
