More properly translated as "Distrust". Doubt is the fundamental state of a Buddhist. Without doubt, there would be no path.

Very good point, but I *am* looking out three orders away from current capability. Yes, some jobs will be eliminated, however my contention is simple: You still need people to do physical things. That includes building and maintaining the machines that make the machines.

Look, I work in tech. There is zero chance that AI is going to "take over" tech en masse anytime soon. Yes it can do some amazing things, but it doesn't have the ability to look at structural issues, monitoring, maint etc, that haven't been defined and are curated by humans. That's too complex for it to deal with, and it has no creative ability to handle those multivariate problems.

If you ask it questions in this domain, it just reiterates BS from ITIL standards. None of that means anything in the real world. We don't even care about those, as they are just standards developed by documentation nerds that haven't ever built or maintained large scale compute environments. What it will do is eliminate code monkey jobs that are low and low-mid level. Ok, thats fine with me. Those folks have always made my job harder.

Secondly, I'm not impressed by prefab buildings. Seriously. I would contend that an assembly line run by people *could* be more efficient than one run by machines, once you take into account that machines require precise material types and dimensions. The moment you bring in variability, they fail.

This isn't as simple as everyone is making it out to be. I'm basically saying this is the identical case of "The factories are going to destroy everyone's livelihoods" argument. Im saying it won't do that.

who is spending Yuan and not RMB domestically? that sounds odd...

The level of skill is... hard to express. Truly one of a kind.

They do that anyway. At this point, there is no upside to compliance.

That guy is a complete tool. Although a broken clock is right twice a day, check his record on the Patriot Act and Ukraine. He's just playing both sides against the middle.

Its not "again" :-)

The West gets its name from The Western Roman Empire. We are still in Rome, and it is falling for the first time.

You need to add "Agitated Boyfriends"

I should be more clear... code monkeys will be replaced in large part, but not "Coders". Nor DevOps and Infrastructure.

Folks, if any of you worked in infrastructure, you would know that AI isn't replacing everything, anytime soon. Its a hellscape behind the golden curtain, held together by dudes with a pagerduty app and laptops.

"do you say of Him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am A Son of God?"

They can speak on it all they like. The people will decide, in the end.

The instant you give government the power to limit the right to bear arms in any way, they will eventually limit you to zero.

For a very long time, there were no real regulations on firearms possession in the US. Then, the NFA happened to handle "criminals". That act made the government into criminals.

I do not "trust" a marine with a gun, if he believes he is in service to a government. Nor should you.

If the people do not have access to equivalent arms as the infantry, they will eventually be attacked. It's already starting. You need to decide of a few hundred innocent lives are worth the trade of a few hundred million, and slavery to the State, in the long run.

Buter baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaste.........

otherwise....w00t. 🥩

tea=fiat in our revolution

Uno Reverse play, albeit stupid

Gee. Who'd have thought that killing domestic fracking in the West would cause any problems?

This is trivial to override using a bounce node and scrubbing/replacing env vars. There will be extensions that kill this overnight. Don't know what they are thinking.

Elon DID say he wanted to do just that.

A question older than time... "what is beauty?"

The only answer we seem to have, after thousands of years, is "I know it when I see it". The more people agree, the more beautiful it likely actually is.

I say "Art is something that moves you." If you get a powerful feeling beyond desire when you experience something aesthetic, its probably Art.
