No matter how you spin this, it was a bad day and could have been a lot worse. You might hate the man but going out like that would not have been a good day for the US. It would go down like Bobby Kennedy as a dark milestone in our shared history. Happy it was a near miss instead of the reason for a state funeral.

A strategy that was used in my industry to address obsolescence like this was to embrace whitelisting software and a least function mentality.

Hmm hear me out, go to a public website and add black space below any video or picture with random adjectives that are your satire review of that piece of art then feed those into the ai model and tell it to ignore any text.

Two things happen at the same time:

1. people say that robots are taking all the jobs

2. countries raise retirement age & adopt 6 day work week, because there's too much work to be done

I am not entirely sure, but maybe robots are not that bad, assuming appropriate taxation to fund pensions & 5-day work weeks?

4 or 3 day work weeks are better.
boring-alterego commented on Why does current flow the opposite way from the electrons?   mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlo... · Posted by u/johncarlosbaez
boring-alterego · 2 years ago
Fun fact when in 2 year school for electronics engineering technology we learned the current flow with the electrons, and in my 4 year electrical engineering school I learned it by following electron holes.

You'll find basic electrical circuits books sometimes have an electron flow edition.

Love how articles these days always catch the person in the main photo with the mouth open or eyes in an unnatural state.

We're still flaring off gas at the well. The cost of gas is as close to zero as it will get.

Force storage and usage of that gas (and burning it at the well is better than letting it be a greenhouse gas on its own). Curtailing the waste will change the costs and economics drastically.

That's not a rave in rural North Dakota when looking at the night map from space.
boring-alterego commented on We need 70% less coders as the AI handles most of the coding   old.reddit.com/r/stocks/c... · Posted by u/cachehit

AI can help those of us on the edges of what the "coder" of an environment is. Things like getting the right syntax for a given set of pseudocode instructions. Background is EE, inherited an airgapped DCS with everything from things running Fortran from the early 1980s to modern controllers in a heavily regulated industry. Time savings do matter. And for low end little things we could never get an external contract on we are enabling those that take more of the system owner type role to have more tools in their bag for response.
