Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me [write]."

Yes, I added the editorial insertion because I'm sure that's what he meant.

Number 58 is an American MB Big Trak programmable toy tank.

I would find it fascinating if an author did a deep dive into the toy knock-offs in the USSR and how they came to be.

"I am not without hope."

I am not without hope that these writings offer a small respite to the AI weary.

Money provides freedom, not happiness.

". . . but our social scripts telling people to produce social fabric . . ."

The author of the article may benefit from reading "Bowling Alone" by Robert Putnam. Although it's now in a class of books on American history, it explores this topic in depth.

afaik, a society needs to face a potential collective crisis to "produce its own fabric." Of course, the Internet (or technology), by its nature, is actually collating society while keeping many comfortable through its economics, and thus the script is to keep isolated.

I also believe Jim Morrison, the lead of The Doors, made the prediction of technological music collation some 60 years ago.

No. 0004. Pretermit new problems

"Go get one."

Yes, and its price law all the way down to the metal, hasn't it always been?

I think this article is stating the obvious. In software, it has always been a requirement to learn the domain, and then capitalize on that in any way the software can be written (by hand, as a tech lead, or managing others, or lately, using ai).

Thanks for the laugh.

Now back to prompting, telling my all-knowing to create new slop, good sir.

"Is this what the pinnacle of human is? Lazy and greedy?"

Selfishness, too. But if I follow the logic, and citations are added, how would one enforce a copyright claim if the creator is amorphous and all-knowing?

And if you do a good enough job, contact the blog's author. Maybe they would see the intrinsic value, but mainly question how weird it is to receive such an offer.

Probably cheaper to set up and print a proof from KDP per blog. Would have to do the math on this, mainly the basic formatting is the labor (or automating it with AI now, not too bad). Proofs do not require a review per-say, but likely falls outside the user agreement since you dont own the content.

Access to kdp and time to do this varies.

"The growth of AI feels . . . like losing a limb"

Indeed. Figuratively, generatively, and of course, generationally.

And so, it is written:

I grepped for "covid" and "COVID-19" on all presented text. 1 result found.

". . . did you ever attend school from home or somewhere else outside of school because of the COVID-19 outbreak?"

Can someone else confirm?

Not enough investigation there. Of course, the trend was already going down, but the new slope is obvious.

Prediction in next three years will be same or greater - technology, ai, screentime.

Today, I was presented with Claude's decision to include numerous goto statements in a new implementation. I thought deeply about their manual removal; years of software laws went against what I saw. But then, I realized it wouldn't matter anymore.

Then I committed the code and let the second AI review it. It too had no problem with goto's.

Claude's Law: The code that is written by the agent is the most correct way to write it.

There was an article posted here a few weeks ago titled "Nobody Gets Promoted for Simplicity."

I've been thinking about it a lot, and now, in turn, the memory of Mr. Hoare.

"Exercise" not found in the shared text.

I'm sure people who supplement or have good D levels also take care of themselves, generally - because they know D is one of the supplements that make a difference both somatic and psychological.

And thus do better with flu/cold.

". . . whose specifications are static and solid." Well, thats the problem with software. There isn't agreement of such specifications. We aren't working with wood, nails nor forming a sill footing on bedrock.

If I could upvote this article twice, I would.

Surprised this hasn't been taken down by the admins.

". . . 'art' is about appropriation. Among its tenets, postmodernism suggests that no work of art or text is anything other than a reassembly of citations; thus, if all art is citations, all art is fair game to be cited."

- An author on a popular product who is questioning copyright.

There is always an origin to writing something (or aptly, a citation.)

"I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me."

Why no one plays laser tag anymore?

Same answer as all the rest, Gen Z, of course!

I always think of Tom Hall's quote from early id days.

"No one wants to strap shit to their face."

Yeah.

BandStand, Sideman, SoundMate... or eHarmony.

RIP, McQueen :pray:

IMHO, the best [individual] essay contains single paragraph/sentenced trasmissions that connect [or overhelm] the reader with impact at [the right] times.

At the same time, to strengthen the practice, make a statement and then follow with a question. Make the impact, leave the reader with a question back to it. It's two sentences, paragraph break.

Those are the best essays.

He practiced this technique many times in this article. But is this the format of best essays [of the Internet]?

They are correct twice daily. Frozen at 10:08!

"Time is passing, are you?"

You almost always see a Simplex Clock in each American classroom. How about we remove them - what would be the effect?

You almost always see an abandoned mall in an American suburb.
