If they build it, they have to be ready to use it. And they’d have to use it pretty close to home. Against an adversary with equal capabilities.

Either it would have no effect at all on the conflict, or it would result in annihilation. Doesn’t really seem worth it.

Though maybe to play devils advocate, creating a DMZ wasteland with tactical nukes might not be the worst outcome. Pretty terrible thought though.

Honestly, this is it. You have to want it, and you just have to do it. You’ll feel “sick” for a while but you just have to muscle that out.

I know it’s easier said than done, but it really is that simple. Just stop.

Do they think Russia doesn’t have their own imaging satellites?

I don’t think people in the 80s and 90s meant anything else. It’s not like AI was really on the horizon. Educational interactive CD-ROMs were where everyone’s head was at in the 90s.

I learned almost everything I know of value from a computer.

If you want access to it at system-level, you can use pip install --user .... If you run scripts as your user it’ll be as if it was installed as a system package.

Only use that if it’s something you use to manage your system. If you’re using this as a development environment, use venvs.

I like some of the art. Especially things that would be difficult or almost impossible for a human to do.

One of the more interesting ones is horror. AI is super good at making uncanny or gross stuff that most people wouldn’t even think to make.

New social fear unlocked.

Same. Short and sweet.

I’m curious who’s actually getting 4 or less hours per day?

Let’s be real. “Surfing” was corny in the 90s.

In gambling, the house always wins, by extracting value from the players. In stock trading, the players (capitalists) collectively always win, by extracting value from labor, technological growth, and natural resources. These are not the same picture.

Not all gambling requires a casino/house.

Agree with everything else but maybe not this:

You can choose to quit and be gone if you absolutely need to and you’re not going to be homeless. Now you work the toxic job not for them, but for yourself. You use that job, as toxic as it is, to get what you need out of it to raise yourself to the next level of what you need to go elsewhere.

The stress of losing the job is gone from having the money, but the stress of having that job has not gone away. If it is ruining all your free time it’s often good to just GTFO as soon as is reasonable.

Bad advice for a toxic workplace. That’s just going to ruin your mental health.

No I’m asking, what is underwear for gay people?

Underwear for gay people?

I’m a little ashamed of this one. I really wanted it, and I was a little desperate.

1. HR Interview
2. CTO interview
3. 16-hour take home test
4. 4-hour panel interview where the engineers grilled me on random things
5. CEO Interview

Didn’t get it.

And it can cost you up to 30 years for breaking it. I’d listen to my lawyers too.

Art and science were largely the domain of the rich and bored for a long time. This wasn’t really conducive of attracting those with talent, just those with the means.
