You tried to make it sound like a far more noble and risky thing than it is.
Not terribly concerned about HN rules. Just bored and will abandon this account now. Cheers

But go ahead and commit to the dogma money must continue to exist even though the financial system is merely a socialized ethno object not immutable physics.
I forget my lived experience is atypical among engineers. Before getting an EE degree (which I have not leveraged in over a decade tbf) I worked to live in ruralandia fixing old tractors electrical issues for poor farmers (which turned me on to EE), building barns, homes, rebuilding cars, growing crops, slaughtering livestock for food. I also play 3 musical instruments fluently.
I have a shit ton of experience and muscle memory for doing without money. Get good scrub?
Do not put all your eggs in a single skills basket.
End of day you aren't in a soup kitchen feeding the hungry and exploiting child labor to avoid sewing a shirt. I guess you get what you give, right?
:shrug:
Guess you all should not have ignored politics this entire time. Live and learn.
Thoughts and prayers, fellow Americans.
ICE has an $80 billion budget.
Demand Congress pay off mortgages rather than hand Leon Skum tens of billions.
There you go. Stability.

What is this? The NBA? You want people to stick to social norms, call it both ways.
Think ST:TNG; automation makes enough stuff. Why worry about money?
So focus on political action then; log off this VC funded freebie intended to ameliorate your feelings about the rich owners and operators of this site, and do like they do; tell government to make things right by you or we replace government.
You think PG is sitting on the sidelines letting Congress figure out themselves? He's putting his thumb on the scale through his actions through social networking with politicians.
Gotta leave the basement and do the work
Americans are heavily propagandized and naive af. So exhausted by educated morons.
I am meeting with my state legislators this week to, among other things, discuss how big tech should be on the same hook as the food industry who have to label their products in the open.
How all the auto standards are openly legislated, AI standards should be as well. It's just electrical physics not magic.
How like the government has to release laws, big tech should have to release all code, guiding theoretical principles, training and development environments and attest that is what they loaded on those servers.
Use their tools against them; they have the government in their cornering giving them handouts. Go get yours.
You all came up in a society that afforded zero assurances this whole time. Rather than idle about jerking off the American ego perhaps you should have listened to everyone saying this was coming a decade ago. Two decades ago. 4 decades ago.
I have zero respect for my fellow Americans. Willfully ignorant and willingly exploited serfs. Forget I said anything; you all didn't do the political action work to put me on the hook for your healthcare so thoughts and prayers, HNers.
Programmers (and other workers but this a tech centric forum) need to start to accept that programming was a necessary evil of the before times. We didn't have the theories. We didn't have the manufacturing techniques.
Before hardware was powerful enough to run models on a laptop we needed all that hand crafted custom state management to avoid immediate resource exhaustion. Or to hide the deficiencies of the chips of the day.
For all the appeals of tech workers to a lean into a high tech life, programming as humans did in the before times seems pretty outdated. Bring back rotary phones too, I guess.
If we don't have jobs we are free to:
Take up arms against an exploitative political and owner class minority.
Make sure grandma and the kids are ok. Everyone has enough to eat?
Free the sweatshop kids we exploit without giving them a choice of "the mines" or college, from obligations to our own meat suits
???? What else?
Whole lot of job culture too was just busy work to satisfy the beliefs of they who are generationally churning out of life. Bye grandpa; thanks for zero assurances but tons of obligations; you won't be missed!
Elon and such are not an immutable constant of the universe. Few more years and he'll be Mitch McConnelling out on TV. Especially with all the drug abuse.
Everyone under 50 needs to prepare for the future not LARP the past.
That whole lot of free loading migrants.
Like JD "CF" Vance said; use their tools against them.
No assurances for everyone, no assurances for them. Free market capitalism, bb
Distro boots to a custom Vulkan based, GPU accelerated browser; like a game engine or blender where the controls/parameters are hidden and updates are driven by AI given a prompt
Am using BPF and sched_ext to manage a bunch of the usual behind the scenes telemetry and observability and inform the AI which responds by tweaking run state
So / and /root and /usr, the other POSIX paths exist but instead of /home it's an encoded binary model.
No unique users relative to the OS, but while I run everything as root the AI protects the model unless given the appropriate secret.
Not perfect security by any means but this is an experiment above all not a production system
Stop re-electing people.
Stop sitting at home projecting apathy and ennui in between WOW raids and rounds of LoL.
Mountains of evidence from history shows public has to stand up for itself, not lick boot.
Refuse to give the politicians and owner class assurances they too refuse to provide.
Most of them are old af and have no survival skills. They're reliant on the latest social memes, stock valuations not religious allegory, that are not immutable constants of physics.
Boomers looted the pension system of the prior generation to fund Wall Street. Take their money. It's American tradition.
Remind them physics is ageist and neither physics and American society afford no assurances anyone has food and healthcare.
It's technically correct you all have no assurances your assets continue to hold value and you won't end up homeless. Lol
Censorship of truth!
He put that out days ago to get ahead of this news to project to investors they're already cost cutting so please don't dump them when quarterly reports come out
A nation is what its people tolerate.
An economics euphemism; what the market will bear.
Americans bear their government and neighbors providing zero assurances of food, shelter, healthcare.
Millions support the Prez and the rest, even though they have power in numbers, well, not doing anything is a choice.
Good luck out there. My fellow Americans and I don't have to care if you end up homeless in your car. Murica!
