I once wrote down a food recept in code style because it seemed like the most structured way to do so.

There is a lot of things I blame neo hitler for but “ the US on an unsustainable fiscal path” is something that has been true for decades, and is more a global consequence of capitalism itself.

It feels like a few people just bought the loudest megaphones and are shouting at the world

“If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.”

• Gene Roddenberry

The code to handle errors would be so bloated to deal with every conceivable and inconceivable situation you will get errors on your errors.

The computer is as helpful as it can be with what little context it knows of what was going on. Mostly it just knows that codeline 123 went fine and 124 went not.

This isn’t even fucking with them, it directs them to provide an actual proper answer.

Splitting crucial information on 2 pages is something i expect to be a well used trick in intelligence work.

Also the story about the killed newborn, this is the testimony of Epsteins niece is it?

They hope to learn it to be a better fascist because for some reason trying to make ai smarter has the “sideeffect” of it agreeing with altruistic and woke ideas.

Use it upside down for a while? May need some time though.

He was the perfect actor for the job i can’t believe how the producers shot themselves in the foot like that.

Well if i was a judge i would be more lenient to psychological torture like that… But it does imply the women recruited this girl knowing full well she was going to get raped.

Also this women was 22 when she met Epstein and recruited the young girl 4 years later, that feels different then if you where groomed into this from a younger age.

If this is real its this is an incredibly important witness.

Though i wonder if they are complying for leniency on their own case, the wording of being employed by having to recruit “attractive adolescent women” and this girl being one of them is striking.

Just the story itself. As part of your job you’re asking children if they want to come to elitist parties? For what reason did they believe she was recruiting them for?

That is the world we live in, sure capitalism is dominant but you can’t simply dismiss open technology movement as non existent just because you aren’t aware of them.

“Volvo has a history with the modern three-point safety belt, which was perfected by in-house engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 before the patent was shared with the world.”

This story is a famous example of seemingly putting human safety before personal profit.

In a direct comparison this innovation on it is worse because it lacks the defining feature that makes it truly applaudable.

The original 3 point seatbelt patent would also expire after 20 years but they (presumably) saw the amount of people they could save and chose not to wait.

Though you might have reasonable argument on corporate motivation that is commonly accepted i personally am in very strong disagreement with the notion that profit incentives are anything but harmful.

In my own reasoning and experience i found that a desire for profit or personal success sabotage the effective value of any potential invention.

The objective value of a product that i attempt to perceive is directly correlated to how many living beings can successfully use it without losing value in return.

For example the most advanced designer cars that exist that can only the super rich can buy… those are complete worthless junk and leaching valuable assets and energy from our planet trown in the proverbial bin.

A text file that explains in detail how to fix and maintain a generic bike written by some passionate nerd and freely available online has in comparison uncountable value.

Chances are a for profit product is also build needlessly complex just to stifle future competition (Apple likes that one also) or intentionally flawed so a new later patent can save the day and sustain the practical monopoly on it. If you look around you see this everywhere.

I see the same trends in digital development. Closed source only exist to exploit people who have not learned how to property own and maintain a computer and to block off ways open source devs could use to innovate for the benefit of everyone.

This is why i prefer the proprietary systems not exist at all. So someone else can invent it instead. In theory all knowledge is out there and so are all inventions, to be discovered and shared for enrichment of the species as a whole.

If you ask me, if the benefit of everyone including yourself is not enough motivation to build something better then what already is. I don’t want you on my team.

If your motivation requires a self serving result, i would prefer if society paid you to STAY AWAY from any important work decisions because the losses are too great to give that power to what subjectivity understand as a mental illness.

If everyone benefits, i benefit. If no one suffers, i don’t suffer. You can keep the ego happy and still arrive to the same conclusion, i am award this is considered an extreme stance but i will die on this hill unless someone can point me to a higher one,

Someone remind me to adjust my opinion of volvo when they also release this tech pattern to the world for free.

I do not care how safe your system is in theory, if you are gatekeeping it so others can’t replicate it its more dangerous to the world then if it didn’t exist at all, which at least allows the chance of someone with ethics to still invent and share it.

Woke has gone too far, in my day they would have gotten a bullet between the eyes.

Its uncanny for most people to look at themselves in photos or video because we are so used to seeing our mirror reflections instead.

Same can be reasoned with acoustics. The sounds we speak are made inside your throat and mouth, practically already resonating within the skull. It’s bound to sound different than what a microphone some feet away will pick up.

Feels like an imposter compared to how you know yourself.

Not to disagree on the topic but “if you can’t finnish it, don’t start it” is absolutely horrible advice when its about a creative art like writing.

If i am not wrong there is a whole writing style about just starting without knowing yourself where its going to end.

I highly dislike capitalism but i can see that once you have enough material to sell some of it, even if incomplete as a series. Many people would take the opportunity. I don’t know the authors economic background but for a starving artist with high potential that first book sales could be the push required to finish a series.

I blame capitalism, both for putting artists in this position and for the disrespect of big media towards their own content quality. Its always the money must flow, at every cost!
