Your comments are an incoherent mess. One could actually do better with chatGPT

This is kind of bullshit. It doesn’t allow a corporate goon with an MBA to hire a virtual developer but it does amplify the work one can do. If you think it can’t do anything you are pretty far off from reality.

Writing tests faster. Writing docs faster. Writing exploratory code faster even if you don’t ultimately use the code. Splitting out general utility functions that are nice to have but which you wouldn’t think. Refactoring.

Maybe if you are top 1% working on hard problems and mentoring it just slows you down meanwhile the bottom 50% has lots of work to do which it really does help with

We need to stop imagining that being an expert in on practice or discipline means you have even the slightest utility outside your area of interest. We are constantly inviting “experts” to babble outside their area of expertise only to be shocked when they say something stupid.

How? Give details.

I love how my post gets downvotes for describing reality. They talk about the international community somehow dissolving a nuclear armed nation and relocating its population of 10M people. This has never happened in history and is impossible now and they are describing it as inevitable. It is as sane as thinking the earth is flat.

To expand on that commuting via public transit often requires you to walk between house and transit, between stops, and to your destination. I log 1 mile each way each day or around 10 miles a week.

They cannot dissolve it as a state without murdering them all. They cannot murder them without also dying because Israel has nukes. Your fantasy needs work

Face id is putting a very good camera very close to your face and asking it if the face inches from the screen and stationary with respect to the camera matches exactly one face.

Facial recognition is asking a worse camera if a moving partially obscured face is one of 338M legal residents and citizens or potentially millions of illegal folks. Since this is inherently an incredibly harder task it doesn’t take much to make it impossible.

You use AI glasses which claim to identify aliens because you can use its constant false positives to pretend to be following the law.

Notably the risks aren’t simply that this will identify the undocumented its that it will provide a pretext to disappear almost anyone who isn’t white.

The question is does any given non-white person look enough like one of over 10M people to get falsely flagged given agents a pretext to remove almost anyone they stop. Facial recognition of one person against a large enough database will almost always provide at least on possible match this is especially true if it matches against possible aliens and not against possibly aliens and citizens. EG a query of both will likely turn up Betty Sue Smith is herself and maybe a possible match with Known Deportable but a search against only aliens may return only Known Deportable with agents dismissing any claim by Betty that her ID must be fake.

What do you think what you posted even means? covering most of what it is using to identify is already going to make it drastically more difficult to match

Only insofar as its too vague to mean anything

You are talking about surface tension. The importance parameter is speed not height and “like concrete” is a drastic simplification as both behave very differently on impact.

Notably whereas high divers have reached speeds of 60 mph the Artemis II splashed down at around 1/4 that speed a speed you too can obtain by jumping from about 10 feet up.

how the fuck do you launch a store without a “shopping cart” feature did 20 business fucks pay themselves to suck each other off whilst one intern wrote the store?

What lawmakers listening to Shaffer didn’t know was that the Caspian Studies Program she headed at Harvard was set up in 1999 through a $1 million grant from the US Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce and a consortium of oil and gas companies led by Exxon, Mobil, and Chevron, all of which had commercial interests in the region. The chamber of commerce is a pro-Azerbaijan pressure group whose Board of Directors includes a vice president of SOCAR, the Azerbaijan state-owned energy company, and top lobbyists for BP and Chevron.

Supported by an overseas regime and an assorted network of overt and undercover lobbyists, she used oil money to build her academic credentials, then in turn used those credentials to promote Azerbaijan’s agendas through Congressional testimony, dozens of newspaper op-eds and media appearances, countless think tank events, and even scholarly publications.

She’s still doing it. Brenda Shaffer

Shaffer first walked into Congress in 2001 to testify before the House of Representatives’ Committee on International Relations.

She was introduced as “the director of the Caspian Studies Program and a post-doctoral fellow in the international security program at the Belfort [Belfer] Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government”.

Addressing lawmakers, she asked them to repeal a section of the Freedom Support Act that barred direct US aid to the Azerbaijani government. “They have extended their hand to the US. They have huge expectations that the policy of this country is based on some sort of morality and high ideals,” she told them, and reinforced this in written testimony she also submitted.

Challenged about Azerbaijan’s democratic record, she replied: “There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of democratization. However, every six months, every year, things are getting better and better.”

Fossil fuel is incredibly well financed profitable well explored. The tiny modicum of public and private money that went into renewables didn’t stop any otherwise profitable exploration or expansion of fossil fuels.

Iran had leverage since its resources began to be exploited. We could have spent a lot more on renewables decades ago that would in fact have blunted that stick. Instead we worked to make fossil fuels more valuable and thus hand them more leverage then we swung a stick at their head.

6. It doesn’t scale. Where the problematic economic demographic is 50%+ percent of the pop and 70% live in cities no substantial portion effected could go live in all the Guthries in the nation. People are concentrated for reasons as old as civilization.
7. It often wouldn’t help. Outside of shelter and taxes most goods don’t vary much or all by market and wages do.

One could find yourself spending an overlarge portion of your money on rent in an urban market move for cheaper rent and find the difference in wages makes up the difference in rent and now you need to afford everything else on less total wages.

8. Cheaper markets have worse services and safety nets. Those who already rely on good medial benefits in urban centers in blue states would find little savings in moving into the boondocks in their own states and would lose more in health care alone than they gain in rent moving to bumfuck

How can the same folks who can’t afford to live afford to emigrate again?

AI summaries often make up details, omit what is important, and get stuff wrong. Every error may follow you forever complicating diagnosis and treatment and ultimately can harm or kill you.

Man I love that face
