This isn't an "enormous software investment", this is table stakes which lose out heads up against Nvidia. See AMD.

It's like the 3rd sentence in the blog post.......
The two things have nothing to do with each other.
Yes surely I'm the one concocting things (rolls eyes)

As Sartre said - it's pointless debating people like you because you're just amusing yourself and it's only my responsibility to use words responsibly.
Name the Eastern nations plural that built these walls please. As far as I am aware, the G in GDPR stands for Germany, a country/nation/state which is (and always has been) firmly Western. People on here have such an infantile recollection of actual history.
Anyway, leaving aside debates of where the prime meridian of West vs East falls, it should've been manifestly obvious that in 2025 I was talking about China...
Edit: DPRK counts I guess although I'm not sure how many people would call what they have over there "communism": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Juche_Idea

these two words aren't interchangeable

> generic cog-in-the-machine critique that is explored by many other people
literally only one of the names you mentioned were writing post industrial revolution - the rest had literally no notion of "cog in the machine"
you're trying so hard to disprove basically an established fact: Marx's critique of exploitation of labor post industrial revolution is certainly original and significant in his own work and those that followed.
Lol alienation of labor is not a single "sentiment" - it's a core principle. So like it or not you share a core principle with Marx.
Lol are you really gonna go with "I'm a software developer, fuck all the restaurant workers, teachers, plumbers, janitors!"
This is why Marx's ideas failed in the West - toxic individualism - and flourished in the East.
Lololol
Edit: I'm already down one - for people that don't read wikipedia here are the 4 dimensions of alienation of a worker as listed in the wiki:
1. From a worker's product
2. From a worker's productive activity
3. From a worker's Gattungswesen (species-being)
4. From other workers
Edit2: People [in America] will moan about their jobs, their bosses, their dwindling purchasing power, their loss of autonomy, etc etc etc but then come back as champions of capital. You see it all the time - "my job sucks but entrepreneurialism is what makes America great!!!!!!!". I've never seen a more rake->face take than this (and on such an enormous scale). It's absurd. It's delusional.
This is the most pedantic way of saying "binary 2-tuples" I've ever seen. Also for quadtrees this is inferior to base 4 because you can assume clockwise (or counter) ordering.
This shit is so infantile. It's like people have never heard of grinding. Do you think big law attorneys "love" their jobs? How about public accountants? How about dentists (famously known for having high suicide rates).
> Maybe you hate programming, but you want the money enough.
Yes welcome to the grand epiphany that drives 99% of people. There's nothing special about programmers.
I can't fathom being this exaltant about some dead guy I've never met who supposedly manufactured some stuff (like you realize he wasn't a scientist and was primarily a businessman).
Where does this kind of sycophancy/worship come from? Like do you have to be bread to think this way or did your parents inculcate it in you? Or did you come to it on your own? Are you religious too? Is that where it comes from (tendency to worship)?
The geometric series sums to 2 - your glued together rectangles will have perimeter 2*(1+2) and area 2*1.

cooking is an art. software is engineering. no one would say "building skyscrapers as an art is dying".
Absolutely no one when they're navel gazing on this topic is discussing the aesthetics of notation.
