I would recommend combining AI with the power of blockchain.

I was hoping it would be a combination of Angular and English.

Yes in a perfect world that would be nice. But in reality, it doesn't work that way, and it will never work that way.

I don't actually care what Scott Adams thinks, I enjoyed his Dilbert comic back in the day, I didn't know that it was still around with new material.

The point is, Why is the media giving him attention as such? Because it serves their agenda of PROMOTING racism. The people in power LOVE RACISM because it keeps people divided and fighting amongst themselves. The problem is the media.

He's being practical. If someone doesn't like you, it's better to be safe than sorry.

But I suppose you think it's ok to hate all Russians.

And anti-vaxxers.

And Trump supporters.

This racism nonsense has been created mostly by the media.

group != race

You inferred race

I don't understand the premise, because I have always hated Single Page Apps.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

One thing to keep in mind is that in the 24th century, there still is no cure for baldness.

I would say that technically the US invaded Ukraine by installing a subservient government after the ousting of Yanukovich. This is why Hunter Biden's laptop was buried as much as possible, it would reveal the connections and the financial interests. If Putin truly wanted to conquer Ukraine, he would have taken out the electricity and water supply, things of that nature.

This is not Ukraine vs Russia, this is the US/NATO vs Russia

> The question is how to bridge the gap from where we are now to there.

Someone needs to be chosen to act as a liaison between AI and humanity. Perhaps a short, stocky, bald person such as Jean-Luc Picard. If he is not available, George Costanza will suffice.

It does sound like a horrible class.

I think the issue with AI is that the average person doesn't understand how it works, and the problem is when somebody in a position of power becomes infatuated with it. I don't fear AI, but I fear bad-AI, or misused-AI.

Those who understand how it works know that its mostly Garbage In-Garbage Out

> which episodes of Star Trek should I watch?

Perhaps 'The Neutral Zone' season 1 episode 26. There is a cryogenically frozen person brought back to life, and he is obsessed with finding out about the value of his stock portfolio, and he and Picard have a conversation about how money no longer exists.

But I don't recall any episode that really explores the idea of a post-scarcity world (which is essentially communism I suppose)

> Have you heard about the people killed by the ukranian nazis

During WW2, even the German nazis were surprised by how ruthless the Ukrainian nazis were, even they thought the Ukrainian nazis went too far. The Ukrainian nazis are worse than the German nazis.

That is what you believe. It is an irrational belief with no logical basis.

I believe that Putin has no desire to conquer Ukraine. The days of empire building are a relic from the past. Everybody in Donbas/Crimea speaks Russian anyway.

Merkel has stated that the West had no intention of honoring the Minsk agreement. The purpose was to buy time for Ukraine to build up its army. The West negotiated in bad faith.

Human emotions have never changed throughout history, the reaction will always be the same.

Technology simply changes the medium, but the end result remains the same. Transformative AI falls into the category of technology.

I don't think he has an understanding of history, or how the economy and monetary systems work in general.

The value of things are cyclical, especially during times of war and times of prosperity. Everything goes up and down in value.

It seems that Sam is assuming that the current political structure and monetary system will remain intact in perpetuity.

- Learning to make software in order to improves the lives of humans

This is not a discipline that I am aware of

- Learning to make software in order to make the lives of humans miserable

This is a discipline, but not quite Computer Science

- Learning to make software so that great engineers become average engineers, and incompetent engineers become managers

This is software engineering

> WFH requires wearing clothes.

This has not been my experience.

It appears that the best approach for a Go AI is simply GOFAI (Good Old Fashioned AI)

The person I was responding to wrote "Modern front end development with TypeScript, Vite, Preact, and even the much maligned npm are so much better than anything that preceded them for building complex front end applications." which implies that modern front end is an improvement over what previously existed.

That person then wrote "But for anything real, hell yes, give me a good build mechanism." which implies that he creates real, high quality applications.

But my experience is that all front end web applications are all sub-par, so it doesn't really matter if a SPA uses a bundler or not, it doesn't affect quality when it is all shit anyway. So more power to the guy who decides to not use the bundler.

In the end, I agree with Alan Kay, the web was created by a bunch of amateurs

I have never ever in my lifetime seen a front end application that was enjoyable to use.

The Pulitzer Prize is named after the guy who invented Yellow Journalism

I'm probably older than you, but I agree with you and disagree with the other guy. I grew up with a C64 and Amiga, and that's where I learned how to program, I feel like it gave me a deep understanding of how to program and how a computer worked, plus they were also basically real-time machines.

But peak iPhone for me was a jailbroken device running iOS 5 or 6. Back then, everything was still Objective-C, which meant that every object could be introspected in the live system and swizzled which allowed for making tweaks to the actual system. You also had Unix underneath and could login to a bash shell and install a compiler.

But someone who learns to program Swift on an iPhone or iPad simply won't have a deep understanding of how anything works. Even if you pay the $99, it's still a rather unpleasant experience to program on iOS given all the restrictions.

Can you name a time in history where government has not defaulted?

Gold and private assets in general are a hedge against government collapse

> When you can get a 5% risk-free return from treasuries, even 7% rate of return is unattractive when compared to the safest asset on earth returning 5%.

I got news for you. The riskiest place to park your money right now is government bonds. Long-dated US treasuries are risky. You will end up losing everything.

But if you insist on US treasuries, be my guest. I need someone to trade against.

> “War! What is it good for?” by Ian Morrison is a good read.

Few people know this, but that was actually the original title for "War and Peace". It was his mistress who insisted that he call it "War and Peace".

The US plan is to first defeat Russia, and then to defeat China. They expect China to wait their turn. However the US will not win this war. If Russia's existence is at stake, they will use their nuclear weapons. There is very little chance that this war will remain conventional.
