I beg to differ here. There are multiple things that have been either unprecedented or done in larger scale by this administration. We can start the blame from founding fathers for creating an exploitable system (as Godel had correctly pointed out), but to look elsewhere for the blatant abuse of power and disregarding privacy of citizens by this administration is, in my opinion, a biased take on it.

Exactly, people saying Trump will be out of office and everything will be back to normal are incredibly naive. If current trends stay, Trump is going to be one of the better ones for what is coming next. The politicians in US are saying worst xenophobic, racist, sexist things and are still getting praised or even promoted to higher positions. At least for a decade, unless something big or drastic happens, nothing is going to change for better in US, politics wise.

Which part is sarcastic here? As far as Europe as market goes, Software industries have already started to feel the pinch. Right now data protection and privacy rights of common people in the US is at lowest point, as we have seen in the news, anything goes for this administration. One must be living in an alternate reality to not see these things happening.

Maybe it is a well researched topic but I had similar thoughts the other day. I felt like AI had its learning inverted as compared to natural intelligence. Life learned to preserve first and then added up the intelligence. For LLMs powered systems, they will learn about death from books. Will it start to dread death just like other living things. Less likely, as there are not nearly as many books on death as there should be that is proportionate to our fear of death.

Journalism is being attacked by the right, by the left and now this seems like a new passive aggressive way to discredit them. News by definition is something not commonplace, IMO not at all surprising that the more uncommon the death is, more newsworthy it becomes.

I personally believe that we do have unprecedented number of tools in our disposal to be successful, compared to any other time in our history. The problem is somewhere else.

Tesla’s software is dangerous. I own one and I have to be a lot more alert than when I am actually driving. Just yesterday when I was driving rural town, it was stopping every time it sees a truck in the incoming lane. I suspect if something like that happened in this case as well.

I think Google might have tweaked their search to not always go to stack overflow. That might be start of their downfall. Recent times it is rarely stack overflow as top result and it happened suddenly, not gradually.

maypeacepreva1l — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 11:42:32 +0000

Github is evolving pretty rapidly than I thought it would. I like their new changes. Deep underneath it being with Microsoft just reminds me of oracle/google debacle. Definitely discourages big projects to be hosted there.

"Adjust worldview" sounds deeply pessimistic to me. Anyone can do make life better, specially at time when degrees mean less, they just need to persevere. Stay level headed. If I have to suggest I wouldn't say "Adjust Worldview" at all.

I think every business is doing that. Apple with annoying storage full messages which I had to cave in just last month and pay.

You are suggesting Trump is doing this based on recommendation of his team or in depth analysis of the topic. Your proof being members of his team. Even though trade is complex issue, people will understand careful diplomacy. What Trump is doing is like carrying a sledge hammer and out in full swing against trading nations. There is no pattern or logic to it, other than scare tactics. If you can point out to why you think he is doing this in more convincing manner then I think you might not have been downvoted.

I am curious how you justify your position by looking at few members of the team. Trade is a complex issue and Trump single handedly is jeopardizing this sensitive topic by openly declaring trade wars with multiple nations in open platform like Twitter. Where were those members when that was and is still happening?

Sometimes people can be acting passive aggressive in the name of humility. It's hard to understand yourself to find out if you truly are willing to find out or just trying to prove another person wrong. I think I have lived in both spectrum in different phase of my life so I can vaguely relate.

maypeacepreva1l — Mon, 13 May 2019 09:31:08 +0000

This is scary because of our current political situation. Even when nature is on our side we have mindless headstrong morons heading nuclear states and we seem to be in verge of war. People do not trust science and still believe in afterlife and heaven or hell rather than believing in our planet and its current problems. Amount of CO2 is definitely going to trigger extreme climate change and that is going to destabilize our geopolitics, and we simply are not ready for that change. We should start making life style changes for the sake of millions of species that are getting extinct and also to start a culture of responsible citizen of earth.

Everyone these days want to 'delegate' work to someone else if permissible by law, and sometimes even if they are not, I guess. I have a feeling the report would come out with, 'due to lack of funding and experts, some of the work had to be 'delegated' to Boeing' etc...

maypeacepreva1l — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 19:24:19 +0000

This move makes sense IMO. There are a lot of Hello world public repos out there which is actually crowding search results and inflating number of "open source projects" in Github.
