miltonlost··on Moby Dick Workout (2022)
If they want a short and lean "man fights fish/sea animal", they should stick to "The Old Man and the Sea". I'll stick with the investigation into finding purpose in a purposeless ocean.
miltonlost··on Mark Zuckerberg directed Meta to create a prediction markets app
So many photos taken these days that are never going to be seen.
miltonlost··on Wages in America Are Too Low for the 30% Rule to Work for Renters Anymore
Go tell that to Oklahomans and others still making a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour
miltonlost··on Banned book library in a wi-fi smart light bulb
Never say a "red apple" then because lord knows it had been green at some point! It's a meaningless designation.
miltonlost··on Banned book library in a wi-fi smart light bulb
So the books are being banned from being in that library? "removing books" and "banning a book in a library" is equivalent.
miltonlost··on Banned book library in a wi-fi smart light bulb
Cool, dude, keep defending books with gay characters being banned in some libraries... I mean, not "curated". A "Ban" doesn't have to be universal for it to still be banned in one spot. A book banned in a Christian high school but available at a public library is still a "Banned book" because it has been banned somewhere.

If you're that bad with semantics, I'd recommend the next book you check out is the dictionary.

miltonlost··on What happened to nerds?
Artistophanes lampooned the Sophists and lawyers in his Greek comedies. When using words as your literal way to power and change, you will have demagogues.
miltonlost··on H.R. 6028 would fundamentally change the U.S. Copyright Office
I love not informing the electorate!
miltonlost··on Waymo Premier
Some people do, and those people are homophobic Uber drivers
miltonlost··on Core PPI up 9.6% annualized (0.8% MoM) in May
Vote out the Republican fascists actually abdicating responsibility. Dems can't do anything when they don't control legislature. Don't end up bothsidesing the last sentene when the rest of your comment is about the iffectualness of Trump and Republicans
miltonlost··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
Not so much THIS report, but you can't trust any data that the Trump administration puts out after all the blantant corruption. Remember the Sharpie on the hurricane chart?
miltonlost··on A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Data Center
Public parks should not be developed on for the sake of the community. We need wild areas.
miltonlost··on How LLMs work
He's a massive massive thief that people who have stolen far less from a convenience store have gone to prison for. The man is a villain.
miltonlost··on The company I work for is losing all of its humanity, I don't know where to go
Raccoons at least have some sort of intelligence. Leeches are a better animal comparison IMO
miltonlost··on AI, Ashby Engineering, and the future
A “blip” that we have to take their word on, though the relative jump from the 1 prior year wasn’t as high as this one. Bad stats juking
miltonlost··on AI, Ashby Engineering, and the future
> Our thesis is that the cost of producing code is heading towards zero. AI isn’t coming for our jobs, it’s coming for the mechanical parts of them: syntax, glue code, and the tip-taps of keystrokes. The parts that are less interesting, less challenging

The cost is heading to 0???? Do they not pay for Claude, Anthropic, OpenAI? Have they not seen the sudden price increases? Hosted locally LLMs still have electrical and server costs.

miltonlost··on Meta's ships facial recognition on smart glasses
Hope they get sued out of existence for this by Illinois. The biodata stored and used only serves authoritarians.
miltonlost··on AI sticker shock hits corporate America
We're planning for Q1 and don't have requirements yet for features, but are expected to have detailed estimates ready... This has happened before AI, this is happening after AI. The problem has rarely been "it takes too long to build ". The problem was "what do you want me to build? wait, no, not like that. now we must iterate"
miltonlost··on DuckDuckGo search saw 28% more visits after Google said people love AI mode
Hope the answer in the AI response is right!
miltonlost··on Private equity bought America's essential services
Everything is vague to you. All you're doing is concern trolling for monopolists
miltonlost··on Private equity bought America's essential services
How is going back to a policy that used to work "vague and unactionable"? It literally had been actionable.
miltonlost··on When (if ever) it's appropriate to make jokes before the US Supreme Court
Nah, it's really just Republicans doing all the corruption these days at the SUpreme Court. Unless you can provide some decent examples of Democrats. You seem to be bothsidesing the issue when McConnell stole multiple seats.
miltonlost··on You can no longer Google the word 'disregard'
The AI overview is still there? What mediocre search service
miltonlost··on US employers spend more than $1.5B a year to fight labor unions, report finds
No, they provide capital. It's the workers who provide value to the company.
miltonlost··on US employers spend more than $1.5B a year to fight labor unions, report finds
You're not pro-union if you still spout anti-union propaganda. You spent more words arguing against unions than you did for them. I'd say your first part of the sentence is probably more of a rhetorical trick than anything close to true
miltonlost··on US employers spend more than $1.5B a year to fight labor unions, report finds
Any amount of power a labor union could have pales in comparison to what employers have over you as an individual.
miltonlost··on Shunning AI is the human choice
AI proponents are saying it will take away all knowledge jobs. How is being permanently unemployed something that doesn't matter?
miltonlost··on US employers spend more than $1.5B a year to fight labor unions, report finds
They're just spending all they money they saved from the wage theft.
miltonlost··on Google changes its search box
Please please please learn the basics of monopolies.
miltonlost··on We let AIs run radio stations
Apple Music actually has radio stations with real humans picking songs. So not all streaming is algorithm if you look.
