@HippieReligious Where can I learn about meditative prayer?

@GusFarrow @hhrat75381938 @grilldbeef @uncledoomer Bro just happens to speak Japanese ?

@hhrat75381938 @senorsidechain @grilldbeef @uncledoomer ゲームはあまりしないけど、昔は素晴らしいサウンドトラックがたくさんあったね。

the european mind cannot comprehend this

@GusFarrow @grilldbeef @uncledoomer Well played good sir! We have been failing to innovate rock n roll lately that’s for sure 👍

@senorsidechain @grilldbeef @uncledoomer You went stale. We had to remind you what’s up, several times over

@aPerfect_System @svpino Programming wasn’t hard before, and it’s been getting easier since the invention of compilers. But programming ISNT THE POINT. You have to know what to “program.” THATS the hard part

@svpino Cope. Programming is no longer hard and it’s ok to accept that. AI can help you create anything you want, so long as you aren’t retarded. Data structures and “good software” were never difficult to understand, either - creating lines of “good code” was. It’s now simple.

Have you noticed that every single person telling you that “AI is all you need to write code” is not a developer and has no clue about what good software looks like? It’s like calling yourself an F1 driver after playing a car racing game on your ipad.

@GusFarrow @uncledoomer Dude you had some bands in the 60s and 70s that were great at playing the most American genre of music!

@uncledoomer It’s true. We have zero rock and roll heritage in the UK.

@6Mrbankaccount9 @realDonaldTrump He has a better chance of getting Michiganders angry about Dearborn than getting the people in Dearborn.

Who are "the elites" we hear so much about? One could say that the elites are people with power or influence. They come in several flavors. 1. They can have intellectual influence because lots of people like their intellectual production. They so,etimes rose through the ranks of academia, arts, or science thanks to their intellectual production as judged by their peers and mentors, or the appreciation of the consumers of their work. That usually requires a good education (not necessarily in elite institutions) and a thirst for knowledge. Those who are (pure) academics are rarely rich. Many infkuential scientists, artists, writers, and academics fall in that category. I put myself in that category. 2. They can have power because they run large organizations in business or government. They often get to that point because they are judged to be good at what they do by their peers and mentors. Sometimes, they get to such positions through democratic elections. Those who work in government are rarely rich. Kamala Harris falls in that category. 3. They can have power and influence because of their money. If they made their money by creating new and unique things that people like to pay for, fine. Most tech entrepreneurs fall in that category, including Elon, Mark Z, Jensen Huang, etc. 4. They can have power and influence because of money they inherited or obtained through sheer luck. Having by-passed the vetting of their peers, their influence through money may exceed their intellectual legitimacy. In that category are heirs or rich dynasties (Koch, Walton, etc), or accidental co-founders of tech companies who fell victim to Sudden Wealth Syndrome and "retired" too early to learn about life. 5. They can have power and influence because of money obtained through unethical activity or outright fraud, perhaps seeded through an inheritance. They often overplay their influence (e.g. though political patronage) because they need to defend their position against the justice system and other enemies. Trump falls in that category. Categories 1 and 2 are the good elites. They got there because of their skills and personal qualities. They were vetted by mentors, peers, consumers, or voters. Category 3 can be good or bad elites. They are good if they use their wealth for philanthropy (e.g. in health, science, education, human rights,...). Examples include Bill Gates and Mark Z. They become bad if they use their wealth for excessive self-serving political influence, e.g. by buying and using a propaganda machine. Elon is a perfect example. Categories 4 and 5 have not been vetted. They may have no skills, no morals, and atrocious personal qualities such as narcissism, grandiosity, dishonesty... Their power and influence are undeserved and can be destructive and dangerous. They often have nothing better to do than overplay their influence. That's Trump.

@MattWalshBlog How is nobody talking about French cheese? Pasteurization ruins the finest cheese, that’s why the best Camembert is never pasteurized. Even someone who isn’t a cheese aficionado could tell the difference

Raw milk is disgusting. We live in a first world civilized society and people are actively choosing to consume milk riddled with E. coli and listeria. Pasteurization is not some evil sorcery. It just kills the dangerous bacteria you morons.

@ylecun @elonmusk dude you’re not even from here and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Voter suppression hasn’t happened since my dad was a child

Those who oppose voter ID are doing so to *prevent* voter suppression. Southern states have a long history of using various voting requirements to suppress votes from ethnic minorities and low income populations. ID requirements would do just that: 16% of White Americans lack a valid license compared to 27% of Latinos and 37% for African Americans. If you really think IDs would reduce voter fraud (which is currently extremely low and doesn't need reduction), then you should push for the establishment of a free and easy to get *national* ID card (history shows that many states can't be trusted with that). There have been various proposals along those lines in Congress, but they all encountered opposition from Republicans. Democrats weren't too enthusiastic either because it would give yet another reason for wingnuts to scream "tyranny!" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_sup… This report details why 11% of eligible voters don't have a valid ID: it's difficult or expensive to obtain if you can't drive: brennancenter.org/our-work/resea… Red States have no motivation to fix the problem because it touches populations that primarily vote Democrat.

Why not America? Those who oppose voter ID are doing so to commit fraud.

@HippieReligious Haha good one hippie!

@HippieReligious I like you plenty hippie but I don’t love the outfit. Looks like you’re playing dress up in your dads clothes, and your dad was born in 1910

@franklinisbored @DavidSacks Bro how do you spin this. She’s saying she’s what, a Republican now?

This is more than a flip-flop. This is like saying Trump was right about everything.

@mo_schuessler @AdamRackis I mean how it WORKS. Processes, pids, fork, IPC, syscalls, etc. It’s a critical piece of computer knowledge that you can’t just skip and then make fully informed decisions

@senorsidechain @AdamRackis Learning Linux for an hour won’t give you enough knowledge to be a System admin… that was the point of the post. He didn’t said that basic Unix-Terminal commands are useless and nobody should learn it

That Levels interview made people crazy If you're 18 and trying to be a software dev by all means sign up for Vercel's free plan and deploy your stuff there I'm not saying *don't* learn to be a Linux sysadmin, but it's unlikely those skills will land you your first dev job ime

@AdamRackis How much money do you have exactly? Your bio says Jr Dev for life. Are you like the worlds luckiest junior dev or something? Lmao 🤣

I know jack shit about Linux sysadmin. Because it's never come up in my career. People don't ask me to do that. Oh and if you're a weirdo neckbeard incel gatekeeper, save your shit talking about my lack of Linux skills. I promise, I don't care. Your opinions mean nothing to me

@TruthIsCynical @bindureddy @sama @AnthropicAI All you’re telling us is you have no idea what mid senior level is

AI engineers are like interns - they need a lot of guidance - they make a lot of mistakes - they learn quickly - they do well on constrained problems - they do a good amount of tedious heavy lifting Coming soon - AI engineers who are as good as junior programmers

@KI7BDA @mattmfm Oh no, whatever will you do without your precious echo chamber?

@mattmfm All the people I don't follow but appear in my "Following" tab have Musk's values. None of them have mine.

Really don’t think we talk enough about the fact that the largest social media platform used by the American press is owned and operated by a guy who has endorsed Donald Trump and is quite obviously rigging the algorithms to benefit his campaign.

@IsabellaMWeber Lemme guess, your work shows that actually the government should control everything and steal our money, and for some reason that’s better … right ?

Lawn party in a college town: Professor in creative writing mansplains me for 10 minutes straight on why price gouging laws lead to collapse of the market economy (of course entirely ignorant of my work). The joys of being young and female in academia meets the free market myth.

@bindureddy What is the starting salary for each currently?
