The entire colonization of the planet by humans from 250,000BC to today would argue otherwise

We’re physically built to be mobile - the extent you can take your community with you has always been relevant

I’m sitting in Virginia USA with 50% of my neighbors being migrant families of 5+ people usually across three generations

I’m not sure what data you’re working with. In fact there a whole lot of ignorant politicians that want to stop migration precisely because of how valuable of a tool it is.

I agree that this reads like they are clinging to the past for its own sake, rather than to have more predictable systems.

I understand the instinct here, I just disagree with the idea that we should limit mechanical automation to the rate of human understanding. That’s a very low ceiling

> just give up your existing community and move" is a viable option.

That’s been how humanity has always worked, human migration is probably the largest single driver of social change in human history

Millions of people migrate every year today, I’m not sure what you think the alternative is

I would read that book

Vermont continues to be a leader in anarchism and distribution of power (pun intended).

Distributed power storage/generation has been a thing for a century and it’s finally economical enough to be mainstream.

This was the whole pitch of the solarcity/tesla solar tiles + power wall a decade or more ago.

Yeah the whole Pelican riding the bike is the best obvious one

We’re getting pretty close to that being the normal process at this point

I know people who have been at this as stage since around 4o with their own custom systems

Only takes 5-10 minutes to test your favorite one shot comparison prompt.

I’m in VA too and have been thinking of putting them in

I have peach trees going into second winter and they will likely fruit next year and are way more work to train than I want in the future.

How much labor are they for the yield and any major downsides?

NVIDIA literally hired all of the 3DFX team and patents after they already proved the graphics accelleration hardware market was massive with the Voodoo card line

In fact NVIDIA wasn't even a close competitor to 3DFX in the graphics card game at that point

The whole reason people complain about AI is because they want “hop to done”

One step at a time is what is happening and the improvement and rate of improvement is crazy as we see,

A whole class of nontechnical people don’t accept anything but “fully solved including every possible edge case” before they call it done, then complain that they didn’t prepare socially for what happens when that is true.

From the article:

"Perhaps the LLMs are a reminder that we should make an extra effort to cultivate relationships with each other and form communities online – communities that belong to us, not some billionaire. Communities where we regularly stop to help each other, because that's how we learn too."

This is the organizing principle of every "community" group since forever. I fail to name one organization that does the above.

Every organization that comes close has some kind of transactionalism built in. The fact of a transaction happening, corrupts the entire premise.

A 75 year old organization isn’t long enough to say anything about

I’ve got 20 year old communities still running that I revitalized or started: 97.7 kafa and the ultramarathon subreddit are two trivial ones off the top of my head

I’m talking about multi generational organizations 350, 500, 1000 year old organizations.

100% this

I really don’t know where all these rose tinted glasses are coming from about early web communities.

As a teen trying to learn to code with no help at home and no money, going onto a technical forum you had to steel yourself to being ostracized for not already being an expert.

I mean people on hacker news in 2026 don’t appreciate how terribly toxic and not friendly at all this site itself was in 2012 when I joined.

I mean hacker news itself has had the reputation of being full of the most toxic technical people in the responses, and you know the dropbox response is exactly the precise reason this place has the reputation it does

Community activists have been saying his for millennia but it’s not possible. Like literally every “prophet” as said almost exactly this since pahotep (https://kemendo.com/WOPFirstPrint.pdf)

I’ve personally started a half dozen different communities over the last 20 years. some last longer than others but almost none last beyond the moment leaders stop putting effort into them, which is the fate of every community.

As a serial community organizer I can tell you definitively that there are no long lasting communities drums eventually turn into an obvious scam on someone or finding increasingly unhinged people willing to stick to a mythology.

I would love for not this to be true but I’ve yet to find an example otherwise

Pick a group: shriners, elks, masons, religious groups, cults, wellness groups, drug user communities, veterans, long distance runners, gardeners etc…

It literally doesn’t matter, none of them last unless there’s some kind of expectation that either you’re going to get some financial or opportunity to improve your social standing or access to resources unavailable to “those people out there.”

It’s a shame really, but that’s the limits of human society it seems.

All valid.

Overall though the point is any particular hole that you have will be exploited

so what used to be a game of “patch the hole” is going to need to change entirely

It’s over security people

You need to find a new way to do business with the assumption that you’re 100% eventually going to get pwned

So just assume that going forward and you’ll start to rethink your architecture

I had a remplessage in February and I’m probably at 80% mobility now.

Previously if I coughed my arm would fall entirely out of socket and I would need a propfol shot to allow the doc to relax it to get it back in.

In my case I was basically immobilized and in excruciating pain and fear 100% of my day.

Now thats only like 50% of the day

Ha, at least we’re self aware

I’ve been debating on the internet under my real name for…30 years? It got boring 20 years ago now the fun part is figuring out what bait makes people make the argument, so I don’t have to.

The most effective way to get a correct answer on the Internet is to get people to disagree with you because they want to prove how smart they are

It’s also the one way left seemingly that people learn.

They’ll see something they disagree with run off to Google or Wikipedia or now one of the chat applications, do a bunch of research (in which case they learn a bunch of stuff) and then they come back and they “prove me wrong.”

If I actually get ppl to go out and learn something that’s a win. There’s probably somebody who read this thread who never heard of Jeremy Bentham and went and looked them up, that is an unambiguous success.

:)

Correct, the idea of “natural rights” left any serious philosophical defense in the 1970s. I mean bentham’s rotten head amd straw body is the the only body still in philosophy taking “natural rights”

Might as well be discussing luminiferous ether

At least someone’s done some research on the topic

My guess is that the crowd here needs to go and actually do a little bit more philosophical reading maybe start with deleuze

That’s not a right either

No you don’t, thousands of people are murdered everyday

There is nothing and nobody guaranteeing your life

It’s because these people do not believe they are trying to do something good, but instead run a cynical plot to get more powerful under the guise

Where can I learn more about the rugpull?

I can’t think of a faster way to destroy the planet

So I was at target and I just stopped one of the employees and asked them hey does this reflect how your day-to-day job is and they said yes directly.

They have this gun that’s made by I think zebra, and it basically tells them what to do all day every day for every minute and interacting with a human supervisor is by exception

I think Amazon is actually a better example here because warehouse workers have been living this way for I guess decades now with their per item countdown timers that they have to physically you know achieve or they get downgraded or whatever

This is an academic resource that says similar: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjir.70051?utm_s...

Indeed exactly this. No system persists or could persist

>when he became acutely aware that his grandparents and parents were not going to live forever…Cao turned to science. Finding a way to slow aging became his lifelong goal

Nothing is supposed to persist forever it doesn’t even make sense to try
