“Everything is hacked”

As another commenter mentioned read “against the grain” by James c Scott. Also “eat on the wild side” is another. Today we may eat 20 different kinds of plants. Hunter gatherers ate somewhere like 80-…

What does an election year have to do with it?

> And if I'm really productive in the morning and afternoon and feel like I can go home at 4pm with a clean conscience, I do that too, so I don't burn out. This is the part that is diffic…

I disagree, humans can create amazingly beautiful and simple things. All software reflects the environment in which it exists, including the time pressures involved in its creation and the complex, …

Nice that there are still everyday phenomena that we’re still discovering the reasons for. Our universe is an infinite wonderland of emergent behaviors

It’s much better in the US than in Australia, where there are only a few IP exit points for the whole country. It largely has to do with ISP. My IP resolves to a few feet in front of my house.

What you’re describing is the commandment to “follow incentives”. We will adopt it to the hilt no matter who we are because the incentives dictate we must. What governments or people will do when many…

Doesn’t that mean it’s just a bad book? If the intention of art is to communicate a message it fails miserably. I have no patience for the college-kid “grand mystery of it all” thing. Like how so many…

That’s the thing. Things rarely seem to get easier for me. I have just as much repulsion to many tasks as I did 5 years ago. In fact in many ways it’s worse because it all feels futile no matter how m…

That sounds hard…try for making yourself a more complete woman first

Remember, existence is pain to a Meeseeks. So treat your AI with care!

Keep in mind: all LEDs leak blue light even the warm ones (color is achieved by average so you can have high red and high blue and it looks balanced visually). These bright blue leaking LEDs are great…

I agree open-source doesn’t mean necessarily safety. But this isn’t about mega-corp vs startup who is better at changing the world. There is a potential major civilization-ending downside to the amoun…

The difference is SF has amazing weather, some of the best in the world. Detroit is a windy frozen wasteland 6 months of the year. I think they need to do a whole order of magnitude more self-destruct…

This is cute and all for creating one-off, in distinct, stylized images. But what if I want to illustrate say a children’s book with generated images? dall-e for example never gets faces right and goo…
