Then why not say "they are just computer programs"?

I think the reason people don't say that is because they want to say "I already understand what they are, and I'm not impressed and it's nothing new". But what the comment you are replying to is saying is that the inner workings are the important innovative stuff.

Even saving can be seen as greed. Someone can focus too much on accumulating for themselves. Both investing and saving can be seen as preparation.

To avoid things becoming evil, you just need to make sure that your interactions with other are cooperative and not zero sum, and not all investments are zero sum.

You should start with a business or product that people want to use, or that is technical impressive. Only after that it makes sense to get government or investors involved.

That's interesting. I think the last Venezuelan election showed there are limits to what you can accomplish with peace.

Managers with development skills are almost always better, because they can dive into the details if there's ever a problem.

Maybe because it's "US-based surveillance"

>Is there famine? In some selected areas, yes, but for the ones with money, this reality never came.

Seems like what Israel is doing disproportionately affects poor people.

This doesn't tell us much. I don't know why you would expect ChatGPT to do original PhD research. It's a general product that will trust already published research. That doesn't meat that GPT-5 can't do PhD research, when given the right sources.

This is completely wrong, at least for the crime organizations in Mexico. They are not a real threat to the state, and they are not similar to terrorists, they don't chant "death to America". What made the gangs in Mexico violent was the combination of bad law enforcement departments and extrajudicial killings.

The best that can come out of this is that Maduro is removed. Otherwise you are just creating more and more hate towards the USA.

Cool, but not related to whether they should be built by the government or private companies. Also, if all wars ended tomorrow, would Palantir's profits increase or decrease?

Ideally yes, if they are designed to be used to kill people. You don't want a whole industry that has the incentive to want more dead people just so it can stay alive.

When software is written with the purpose to kill people, that is very important software. That makes the organizations that write it very important. The more important an organization is, the more people from outside the organization should know what they do, and the more they should have say on it. Private organizations don't meet those requirements, government approximates those requirements better.

Also, I don't know how you can't see the relationship between bugs and accountability.

I'm not sure how you don't follow. Is the board used for war? Can bugs in the board cause casualties?

War should be done by government, including dashboards for killing people. And then the focus should be on improving representation and accountability in the government. Doing this with private companies avoid accountability, the same way payment networks can regulate merchants, or the FBI outsources spying Americans to private contractors.

In Mexico, many people argued that raising the minimum wage would lead to massive inflation, but that did not happen when the increases were implemented.

This just delays coming up to a solution for what to do when population is declining everywhere. It only works as long as those other countries are poor.

Well then you should explain how it doesn't make sense. Focusing on how he didn't mention the case where both countries have nuclear weapons is not convincing.

Buñuel would disagree with you: "The peak of film-making will be reached when you are able to take a pill, switch off the lights, sit facing a blank wall and project on it, directly from your eyes, the film that passes through your head."

Death / km driven is only a good metric if you think driving more is inherently good.

> As a staff engineer, it upsets me if my Review to Code ratio goes above 1.

How does this work? Do you allow merging without reviews? Or are other engineers reviewing code way more than you?

What sites are full of AI music? Spotify? Bandcamp?

Sounds like the useful thing to do now is to come up with a way to automate laundry and dishes. Are you doing that?

Yeah, structural changes don't happen slowly and by the rules. What people don't like is what they think the new system is going to look like. But we don't know what that is going to be because Trump seems to be better at destroying than at building. It will depend on his successor(s) being good at building institutions. Or it may fail and the old system regenerates.

That situation will happen no matter how they do the release. There just has to be an easy way to tell if you have the change or not.
