Probably a mix of bots and people so social media brained they may as well be.

This is a shit-post.

The headline has been changed from the article’s and literally nowhere in the article does it mention $4B or a pension fund.

Irresponsible reporting.

This is obviously what’s happening, you don’t need to fucking publish it and draw their attention and torpedo this.

If you’re a user who grows up using one, and then starts following instructions on how to build one, when are you going to come across the word program?

It will be app, maybe application, saas software, functions a service, compute as a service etc etc. Hell what most people think of as an “app” is really a collection of applications all working together.

It’s probably predominantly because of the switch to mobile computing / smartphones / web being dominant, and everyone referring to programs there as “apps” / applications.

i.e. If you write a mobile app with a function-as-a-service backend, you will never compile what someone would refer to as a “program”, so calling yourself a “programmer” (as-in, someone who makes programs) feels inaccurate and a not helpful description for people. “Coder” (as-in, someone who writes code) is a vaguer in terms of the type of code you write and more accurate in terms of what you spend your time producing.

It’s honestly worth keeping the principle behind crumple zones in mind with everything:

If energy can go somewhere else, then less of it will be transferred to what matters.

For cars, the energy going into bending and breaking the materials of the crumple zone then doesn’t get transferred to the interior compartment.

For Xbox controllers, they’re designed so that when they drop, the batteries shoot out and go flying, which means less energy goes into the controller shell and internals.

And with a lot of laptops these days, you’re seeing the actual toughest, most survivable ones not be built out of heavy rigid metal and glass like Apple does, but out of light flexible aluminum composites. A) they weigh less so there’s less potential energy involved in a fall, and B) some of the energy gets transferred into bending the shell which will then snap back to form.

I won’t.

He was a predictable product of the American culture / political system. His death doesn’t fix anything that caused him to rise.

Build it in Quebec on hydro power and I have zero issue.

Do it like this and I will do everything in my power to stop it.

I mean, to be fair, electrical engineering is one of the most notoriously difficult to grasp disciplines.

People don’t generally have a great intuitive sense for how pulsed electromagnet waves propagate through 3d space and time.

I’ve used the advanced systems analysis math I learned in university as an actual calculation in my job precisely zero times.

I roughly think about how those models apply to situations and how that will effect the various likely outcomes and behaviours etc on a literal daily basis.

University isnt just about training you to do a job.

Maybe you should have spent some of those years studying law.

This is a post from an LLM.

If you’re talking about the chicken and egg problem in the abstract, i.e. how do you determine “what caused what” in a system that feeds back into itself… the answer is that in feedback systems, determining blame or ascribing one or the other as the cause is simply meaningless, and you need to examine how the system behaves as a whole, and how the different parts contribute to the output of the system in various configurations.

Overly simplistic. Lots of things are the abuse of anxiety.

Objectively false my friend.

How would animals have morals if that was the case? Why would they have a sense of fairness baked into them if it came from a religion they couldn’t possibly comprehend?

The reality is that morality as we perceive it, is mostly just the natural rules that let us work together. This little known scientific concept called ‘apes strong together’, meant that the people who possessed a basic sense of morality could work with others and accomplish more, then those without it, and those without it, died off.

That’s all morality is. It has nothing do with any magical creature.

LA is also just a car culture city. When you’re poor in LA, you drive a shitty car, when you get rich in LA, you drive a fancy car.

When you’re poor in New York, you get driven around by public transit. When you’re rich in New York, you get driven around by a car service.

It’s obviously not so black and white, but the percentage of rich people driving sports cars in LA vs rich people getting driven in luxury cars in NY, is probably similar to the percentage of poor people driving in LA vs poor people taking transit in New York.

Wtf are you even talking about?

1. the companies you listed are not the only companies in their markets,

2. at least one of the companies you listed is Canadian

3. how is this different from literally any other country around the world?

4. how are you listing Costco when they’re literally the only store with a maximum markup %

The exact same thing that has been going on for the past ~60 years of American corporate expansionism.

They don’t regulate their companies, allowing them to basically abuse their destitute class to let their corporate class amass a vast amount of capital, and then they use that capital to expand globally, buy overseas companies, create capitalists there and use them to spread their shitty exploitative and harmful practices.

The key it this process is that their companies look economically successful, because they make more money then their competitors, but in reality they’re not more efficient or produce better goods (quite the opposite in fact), it’s just that they’re better at externalizing costs and exploiting others.

That doesn’t actually sound like they intend on producing usable helium though. That sounds like they intend on doing a really difficult and expensive fusion reaction to produce helium 3, which they will then use in a cheaper and easier to do fusion reaction, and the end result of all of that should be electricity and no net new helium since it’s expensive and rare AF and they need it all to make the whole process remotely plausibly profitable.

Can I remind everyone that it is impossible to produce helium in a practical way?

It is literally only produced through a fusion reaction, and that happens in stars and in incredibly tiny quantities in fusion reactors.

Whenever it’s released, it basically just floats away into space and is lost forever.
