Apple is too risk adverse and it’s because of the ceo not being able to properly communicate to shareholders the importance of things like agentic ai. Steve job was a guy who took calculated risk

That and also how many actors online in the threads are humans? That too is conditioning.

i think it's a great start, i wonder if one day people will use a combo of grocery receipts and pharmacy prescriptions receipts and then compare and offer suggestions on what products to cut out

seems a little authoritarian. imagine you have to escape from a natural disaster, you were drinking prior and your car won’t let you get tf out of a tsunami, active shooter, whatever surprise moment you can think of where one minute you are listening to marvin gaye/otis redding sipping on some wine before bed.
the next moment a mob of violent criminals break out of jail, or one of your teenage daughters slips cracks her skull and the nearest ambulance is 30 minutes away, no uber but you are a little buzzed because you didn’t expect this was gonna happen?
are we gonna be banning alcohol again?
someone didn’t think through this regulation. contact me, i am good at this type of stuff.
Heroine, not cocaine. It was about 500 doses.
having met some people wrapped up in drugs, i can tell you that sometimes people who sell drugs are doing it to support a habit, i’ve met people who started out on prescription pain pills that they got prescribed from their doctor due to a surgery.
the pills were then eventually stopped and they got desperate because for many it was the first time in their life that they felt happy, many were in extreme poverty or had mental illness before getting hooked to prescription drugs, they got locked up for something dumb or less offensive, the system put them on probation, where it made them toxic to employeers, so they turned to selling because they were already doomed as it was, the drug war just reinforces a separate class of people.
i don’t agree with people using drugs like heroin but, ive met many people who actually said that oxytocin and oxycoden is way better than heroin, and that they prefer it.
and i am almost certain that more people die from prescription opiates a year than heroin yet, whenever someone mentions it, the whole conversation disappears with hush money. the drug war really seems like a tax on the most vulnerable in which was fueled by big pharma and paid by the average worker (us).
johnson and johnson got called out on it and got a tiny slap on the hand, and later on was trusted enough to make a vaccine. which i am pretty sure johnson and johnson also had a baby powder lawsuit over their baby powder giving newborns cancer, but the problem is, the accountability is only on the people who cannot afford to pay the bill, the real criminals work for these companies, own these companies, lobby for these companies and or pass laws for profit at the expense of a healthy society.
it’s just weird, we lock up the poor but don’t punish the source. it’s legal patchwork, but i know some people on here probably work for someone like johnson and johnson and nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds them.
the system here in the states needs to be fixed. it doesn’t have to be law based but it definitely has to have a better framework than what we have going on right now.

This is pretty much how I taught my High School Computer Science classes.
The biggest step for me was to never touch the student keyboards. And then I basically only answered their questions with more questions.
Sometimes I would hear students grumble "He never answers my questions...", But in the long run, they would start asking themselves the same questions they knew I would ask (what did you expect it to do?, what did it do?, Why did it do that?)... Then they would usually solve their problem without me!
Or, when they called me over they would start with "I tried a, b, and c" and got results x, y, and z" which is a way better start to a learning experience for everyone than the old "it doesn't work, fix it, please"
this is so true! my brother started learning to code later on in life, i knew he looked up to me but also, he knew he could ask me for help whenever and i helped him as best as i could, but i get busy working on projects and cannot always answer a text message or phone call. i would see his message later on in the day and listen/read his messages and it would start out asking for help and about the 2nd or 3rd and sometimes 4th message he would have it figured out and i was happy about that because he did what i think is the most important thing when it comes to long term mastery of any skill
he figured it out on his own or was at least was able to recall the knowledge from within. if i would have took over his keyboard he wouldn’t have imprinted that as fast, i heard this saying once and it’s encouraging for others to hear/read as well so i’ll say it
“when you are confused, don’t be upset at yourself, it is a good sign. confusion means you thinking about something new or from a different perspective, and that means you are learning”
it’s a humbling experience, i get it, but not a sign you will never understand something, in fact, confusion is the first sign that you are getting it. be encouraged

I'm a software developer and i pass literraly 80% of my time working to make my family survive to this world, and honestly the only thing that i have in mind it's to flippin go in the forest for a walk, i don't understand the thing of wanting so much to be isolated and wear a fucking VR mask, this world is fucked up !
it’s strange, i think it’s because the fact the we work with computers all day, to others it’s play time because it doesn’t remind them of fixing bugs or working with spreadsheets all day

another good argument for people from low income families who may may have trouble staying in college due to subpar living conditions which affect their grades.
i’ve read people’s comments on some other forums (not here) blaming poor people for not studying or trying hard enough and that is the reason they are poor. which is obviously crazy to think that about everyone who comes from the lower class is lazy or not trying hard enough.
i am thinking about a lot commuters, who live at home because they can’t afford a dorm or an off campus apartment. i’ve met many people who would just stop going to college or lose multiple days only to find out the only car in the family broke and that persons grades were hurting so they later on ended up dropping out.
always good to understand where people may be coming from
