Actually Genuine Ignorance

Why did you mention git twice?

It wasn’t supposed to be the revolution, it was sold like it was.

As a revolution, it relies on infinite applicability of Moore’s law to storage medium. In other words, it relies on infinite growth. It never left the square one.

If the average user

Proceeds to describe a task average users never perform.

And no, you having been a smart child doesn’t excuse you being an obtuse adult.

It truly is a stochastic parrot, and you can spot the style it has been trained on.

It’s all about being comfortable with not knowing when you need to act. Believing that you can learn everything upfront is pure hubris, and once you hurt yourself enough times, you just drop the pretense.

In other words, life is Bayesian, not frequentist.

It’s not about business optimization, it’s about not having to defer to someone’s knowledge from the position of power.

AI bubble makes so much sense when you start looking at it this way.

I can often implement 80% of a new feature without ever running the code.

I really love how they then go and invent their own TDD acronym to justify this. Types are proofs, and they replace a whole category of borderline superficial tests with useful assertions, but claiming that you implement a % of a feature when you haven’t once verified it is… a reason I regularly cuss at code and remain employable. Keep it up.

Good point.

Gl.iNet is a great value router, but if you want to do anything really interesting, it won’t do.

I have Slate AX chugging along, and have been eyeing teklager boxes to do actual routing, with slate as an access point.

Could?

As an aside, idealistic free market is impossible to achieve without regulation. At the very least, contracts need to be enforced. Free market also demands price forming to happen through bids on the market, needing protection from extra-market negotiations. As an elastic system, it can also be broken by a concerted application of force and needs protection from such actions.

Whatever is being sold as free market sounds like a myth at best.

PS: Coop corporations should really become the norm. Trickle up systems create concentrations of power by design, and concentration of power is how you stretch elastic system beyond its deformation limits.
