The "true king" Richard the Lionheart bankrupted the country for his Crusades in the Middle East. Prince John tried to keep the country financially stable while his older brother was away playing soldier.
Humans spent thousands of years without rulers.
orly? which thousands?
The hole in the ozone layer is now repairing due to international regulation of CFCs
Acid rain is no longer a problem because of regulation of sulfur dioxide emissions
Leaded gasoline has now been banned in every country
Asbestos exposure is rare now due to regulatory controls. It's bad that it took so long to get done.
Government regulation is effective in protecting people from health risks.
Collective action (e.g. through voting) is effective in establishing such regulation.
If you spread the lie that voting in favor of such policies (and politicians who support them) is a useless waste of time, you are spreading industry propaganda.
Effective, large-scale change is IN FACT at the polls.
It is nowhere else.
Yes, actually.
Do you remember the hole in the ozone layer? It's self-repairing now because the chemicals that were damaging it were internationally banned - by government regulation.
Do you remember the acid rain scare? It's not a problem now because of regulatory control of sulfur dioxide emissions.
Do you know why gasoline is unleaded?
Do you know why asbestos is banned in building materials?
Government regulation actively improves human health and wellbeing, and has prevented several outright disasters from progressing.
Real change does, in fact, come from voting for politicians that support effective environmental policies. It is industry propaganda that wants you to believe that regulation is ineffective.
It just means no rulers, but that's not how it works
...anywhere in reality.
effectively work with AI and know how to QA.
These are antithetical.
Using generative algorithms to perform a complex skill leads to deterioration of the skill. The more you rely on the algorithm to perform a given task, the less effective you will be at performing QA of that task, as your grasp of the specifics of the task fades.
Any developer who has not spent time learning to "reliably hand-code" will be completely useless for performing any code QA. If the industry does not provide time, space, and incentives for junior developers to learn those skills on their own, the future will be void of any effective QA.
I know where it frequently fails, I’m very pleased with the output. And, I’ve shipped 4 fully QA’d apps in the past month.
Yes, well, you don't know what you don't know.
I would still be on the first one without AI.
The quality of a product is proportional to the amount of time and (human) attention spent on the product.
Keep a stiff upper lip, old chap.
Er, and you think ARM is somehow not involved?
Yes. The Overton window has shifted dramatically to the right.
In order for the left to appear again, the window must shift back toward the center, and the far right must be de-normalized (by appearing extreme in comparison to the center).
for an LLM the SaturnV technical manuals and a conspiracy message board are the same.
This is well put, and I'm probably going to plagiarize it heavily.
you want to keep people in the job.
This may not be a goal of the company leadership. Most business AI "productivity" tools are being sold explicitly on the idea that they can replace 10-15% of the buyer's workforce.
European far-right has received Russian financing for decades. Probably US too.
The NRA was a funding conduit between the Kremlin and the GOP:
ohh... could it have been, y'know, start-less?
