Sho nuff. Control the pace, conserve energy, and focus on the current rep, erm challenge.

That’s some profound sh*t, Homeslice.

That does track with bizarre takes I’ve read from a few self-proclaimed libertarians.

Some pitch a what starts as a libertarian position that then transitions into something with a community/socialist bent.

That f*cks me up when i read those.

You’ve given me something to think on.

"If you review, test, and understand the code, it’s not vibe coding but rather using an LLM as a typing assistant." -Simon Willison

Sounds like developers will need to review, test, and understand AI-generated code before committing it OR a trusted/robust AI-kit to do the same.

Else, it's all downhill from here.

Better still, think exponentially.

Many assimilating quite naturally. Few grounding themselves with a healthy dose of emotional regulation, curiosity, and skepticism.

...and how about the extortion fees you pay (tax prep/filing) to help the gov establish exactly how much theft was appropriate for the previous year?

It's quite appalling these parasites consider the tax victims to be their "customers". They actually have a "customer service" number to call, if you can feature that.

Gotcha. That makes sense. I've installed lots of distros derived from Debian but never the thing itself. I may finally give it a try next time I upgrade a machine.

Pop!_OS, as I understand it, is based on Ubuntu, which itself is derived from Debian.

How running Debian be different? I run Pop!_OS on two machines so I'm willing to test a new setup if there is something inherently better about it.

The Bitcoin hashrate is more indicative of the health and security of the network. I check that at least once a day.

In doing that, i also see price, which is neither here nor there for me.

Sho nuff.

° Economists are like priests.

° Central banks act as modern temples.

° Modern economic systems demand trust in abstract forces.

° Devotees, with religious zeal, ignore earthly suffering for divine reward.

° Skeptics risk excommunication.

° New economic theories, like behavioral economics, emerge like reformations, to adapt to human flaws..

° Modern economics offers salvation in its own currency, wealth.

Typewriters are analog, decentralized, and leave no digital trace. I get it.

They're also clunky, slow, and lack encryption. So there's that.

Correct.

That's why they are called corrections. Recessions or busts stem from the lower interest rates and credit expansion in the artificial boom that preceded the bust.

Corrections slough off weak zombie businesses that have misallocated their capital and reset the market.

That is, if the State doesn't swoop in with tax victim bailouts, encouraging moral hazard as a result.
