I think their point was that in a way, patents are supposed to be more equitable because it allows the inventor to meet their basic needs by being the one to invent the patent.

There’s also the argument that while innovation skyrockets after a parent opens up, there would be less incentive to invent new things if Walmart could just copy it for cheaper the day after you show how you make it.

Or people would be super secretive with instructions for how to make their products that innovations could die with their creators since they have no incentive to release it.

I want my fishing top hat

What’s sad is that this is a consequence not just of this admins shittiness but of a long enshittification of our government.

Not only do government jobs pay a mediocre salary until you get really really far in the org, a fact that only gets worse as the idea of a middle class lifestyle gets gutted, but for decades now, working a government job has become less and less prestigious. It used to be that there were always plenty of loonies who found pride in being a “public servant” and thought the best place to use their genius was in government.

Now, as we see, there’s no one in these positions with even cursory knowledge of how these programs work.

And there’s definitely no millennials or zoomers fresh out of tech school that would debase themselves to working in government who would be able see these flaws in two seconds.

What they don’t mention here is that these guys get up at 6:00 AM, have lunch at 7 and leave at 8

Credit card with no rewards and more predatory payment scheme

Does it stay up? Yes.

Can you sleep in it? Technically

Does it have running electricity and water? (Optional anyway)

Another big win for vibe coders. Pack it up, we’re taking the W home.

That’s the key, you don’t tell the company you’re working for that you only plan to stay for a year or two. After you’ve done it twice maybe your resume will start to show a pattern, but at that point you’ve been doing this for 4-6 years, and I can think of plenty of lies to tell corporate that will make for a good excuse.

As for making more, your progress will definitely be stymied by taking breaks, but you’re not taking breaks in order to advance your career. It’s just a difference in life goals, clearly you value climbing a corporate ladder to increase your salary. Besides, it’s well documented that changing employers is one of the best ways to increase your salary so if your goal is making more money you would want to change jobs every couple of years no matter what.

Yes, fear is a major factor for why people don’t do risky things for potential rewards.

As for having a spouse and children or a pre-existing medical condition, you’re correct that only a certain portion of the population is able to do this. We already cut it down to people with something like a STEM degree that are able to do this.

I mean almost anyone with a stem education is able to do this.

Before you say: “buh have you seen the job market?”

The point of the plan isn’t to get stinking rich off of each 1-2 year stint, it’s to make just enough money that you can travel around and reset to nearly 0 after not working for a few months to a year

Further right of the bell curve than you just to win the silly semantics game you’re playing: if you’re calling it “The Illiad” and not “Ἰλιάς” you are defacto referring to the book titled “The Illiad” which is the English translation which indeed had a much more recent publication date than the original work.

oh no the ancient sacred forest has been corrupted. By capitalism

Solution? Store 8 booleans in 1 byte.

That also misses the point. If we want to pull the world out of poverty and into prosperity we’re going to need an astonishing amount of power. The only key is to make power that is sustainable so that things requiring a lot of power aren’t given a second thought. The thing you’re mad at are massive corporations putting the cart waaaaaay before the horse. And yes, please be mad at them for that.

Modern is defined as the current year of whatever writer coined the term. So after writing about the “modern” day for a century…

This is just absurdism using the fact that there’s a new pope as the basis of the meme.

It could just as easily be him saying God says it’s ok to throw car batteries into the ocean.

That philosopher is widely debunked and is criticized for having good ideals but being a complete idiot for their prescriptions for how to implement them.

This is a really interesting paragraph to me because I definitely think these results shouldn’t be published or we’ll only get more of these “whoopsie” experiments.

At the same time though, I think it is desperately important to research the ability of LLMs to persuade people sooner rather than later when they become even more persuasive and natural-sounding. The article mentions that in studies humans already have trouble telling the difference between AI written sentences and human ones.

Filament died of cringe 😔

According to his latest album hes also on nitrous.

World might be a better place if everyone treated their birthdays like the Sabbath and celebrated and relaxed once a week
