i would ask them how they think we should combat the immense amount of disinformation about what AI is, what it feasibly can do, and how much it disrupts our lives.

There are way too many techbros out there pushing this dooms day idea, stealing jobs, etc. Its all hype to sell their snake oil and i think its all our jobs to combat that.

ah, fake friends. yeah he only has fake friends.

Digital media just kills me. Back in the CD and DVD days I sent back a bunch of discs that were too scrarched to use and i would get coupons to replace them. Often times the publishers included an extra one just because they didn’t want you to pirate stuff. Buying physical media meant you licensed it even when you physically couldn’t so they were compelled to solve the problem.

You think he really had friends?!?

He is the quintessential elitist who has never had real struggles, nor had any really meaningful life experiences.

I think it was easier to interact with people who made poor decision due to being illiterate on the topic because they just did the shit to themselves and that was that. Don’t get the vaccine, that’s fine. But now we are dealing with a world where every single person feels the need to not only speak their mind but scream it as loud as fucking possible.

What’s ridiculous is that we now have concepts like “canceling” someone for something they said. That the natural result of saying something stupid or bigoted. In the past people ignored you if you were an idiot or asshole. But now that people think that others should be compelled to listen we keep having platforms for obvious nonsense to be disseminated.

See you’re trying to steer the conversation

Not that a date in a file really is valid evidence, but the point is to define when the copyright occurs. If i come back and say “well i did that same thing before you did” them it would make your copyright invalid.

If you update then you add an additional date.

I’ve always been amazed when i get a new “seasoned” project manager and they try to really work on making all the tracking as efficient as possible so they have tons of metrics.

…and then nothing happens. We don’t look at projects and tasks and figure out which work would be best for which team members based on past experience. We don’t do any sort of optimization. We just track “velocity” and our estimates on release end up more dependent on how new the tech or the concept is (not knowing what we don’t know) than anything else.

I think its less about not understanding and more that these concepts only work in unrealistic scenarios that aren’t real. It’s the same with Agile. They never address the actual issue and try to work around them which never works.

I, as one of the ten people on the planet who writes awk scripts, noticed the most powerful text processing tool is missing.

What I’m amazed about is that ads even work at all. Especially when they are white noise. I’ve never once clicked on an ad to go see more about the content because I’m here to watch a video.

I feel like HURD is the generational starship of operating systems. Will never be completed in my lifetime but eventually my great great grand children may some day use it.

Think less about time sharing and more about using all the computers you own together.

You would have a netbook with no compute power as your UI sitting on your couch. You could connect to your beefy desktop to do all the computations for your video editor or playing a game and never have to be sitting at your desk.

You could also have a big file store device with lots of drives to store stuff.

We can do some of this now, I ssh into my desktop from my couch and have a NFS in the basement. But they all operate as separate devices that i have to really work at getting to operate together. Plan9 was designed where you’d just pick devices off of the network and the tasks operated normally. Pick your video card, local or over the network to the beefier GPU.

Oh we need a Jarrarium community too. As well as one to talk about isopods and springtails.
