Any idea is worth entertaining, to avoid the realization the purity spiraling ideology is just as reviled by 90 % of the people as is racism.

Grading homework is still less degrading then the other shenanigans that professors use students for- as in ghost writting books, having them program apps as unpaid labour or doing similar stuff - including renting them out to other companies on campus as free labour. Academia is just very casty at times..

Every citizen with potential to change the world- leaves europa for the us. The only "positive" exception- has been not the fat old west-west of europe, but the east. Jetbrains, CD Project Red, the svvedes- there is something subsversive and alive, software wise in the ashes of the USSR - and unlike germany and france, the old entrenched conglomerates can not sabotage that newcomers that easy there.

In a world- with https://github.com/storytold/gridcraft - who still needs excell? In such a world- where its obvious that MS Office is easy replaceable with whatever some singularity demon created - longterm government migration plans like this make no sense?
Its any job where you feel you have the customer by the balls, held hostage, that thus disolves into a one sided free for all.
A middle man that can bail out of consequences for free, while the public can never bail out of obligations and needs. There was something in game theory about such sequential games where one side can only loose if it plays.
Re:The painter behind Manhattan’s Gilded Age interiors on Thursday October 22, 2026 @12:00PM (#50197204)
But . Butt.. But we have 3d printing now. And painting robots. We could have the "noble and despicable deeds of those who dwell here" plastered as a monthly updated plaster relief on every house front without much cost?
Do they really help though? Help implies improving and changing to adapt to new circumstances, to suffer less. But we had 3 generation of help and the "help" did nothing in africa or the middle east. Others helped themselves and have now better oportunities. China would still be stuck where it dependend on western help and into romantic revolution whorship instead of hard work. Your ideas are disjunct with reality, the world is filled with counter examples, now get going, get new ideas or be reduced to a greek theater choir.

If you would have helped.. the middle east would be like california and nobody would goto ghaza except for holidays. But you are not helping, because you can only emote, not analyse and help

Spoilers: They murdered christians and used the host country to wage guerrilla warfare on issrael, murdering southern villages in the process

The system acknowledges even the slightest bit that the current course attacks the systems currency which is reward for loyalty aka shareholdertrust of the gentry. At the same time its pushing forth is a admittance that it has no control over the process happening, but finds expected outcome without so catastrophic that rolling that russian roulett dice is preferable.

Re:It's still OK to enjoy programming on Monday October 19, 2026 @05:04PM (#50158044)
There is some truth to that, thus i wonder, if they will not solve that by creating architectural harnesses. Like look at repo x. Condense its coding style and architecture into a prompt. Remember that prompt everytime you create a new module.

But i get where you sre coming from

Well, so if its all the same- why not just say yes to cooperate-socialism? You just accept that the party (company) owns all the things and redistribute them as they see fit (for the benefit of all) - so wether the bossmann is called stalin or bezos- what difference does it make. Congrats, you got socialism speedrun- you are already at the disilusioned stage where you see the endresult. And thats still a efficient version, because the varous corporate-socialist empires have still to compete against one another. Now get in line critizen.

Socialism CAN not work due to human nature. The sociopaths hijack the centralized assets while exterminating via reallocation all opposition.

And the micromanaging from a distance produces catastrophic results.

    Scorpio!
    He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
    Beware of Scorpio!

    His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world
    And his employees' health.
    He'll welcome you into his lair
    Like the nobleman welcomes his guest
    With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!

    But beware of his generous pensions
    Plus three weeks paid vacation each year
    And on Fridays, the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer!
    He loves German beer!

Its more about finding artifically created disabilities. My guess is public key cryptography is solved and the government at least knows. Which is why we had the "export" forbidden noises. Apply a old solution (export controll)to new problem knowledge intrferable.

Gambling has been through the roof in really bad hopeless times. It has various names - but the Hail Mary effecgt stuck with me: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11390859/

But i do not see, what the meta-narrative wrapped around the problem adds to the conversation. What do all these moralin negators add to the conversation? Just step back, be a example and remain virtuous while the rest of the world follows "First comes the feast, then the morals?"

This is such a discourse decay, we used to have analysis, a whole pyramid of needs- and a culture with a dedication to keeping the machine that gives us the luxus of morals at any costs. Now instead of guarding civilizations and the machine that keeps it going, we get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellant, for whom their virtuous self-important abstinence from the decay, makes them blue blooded, nobles even.

Thanks to recent events though.. nuclear got its subsidies back. Every border empire ever- at least 3 nuclear power plants per country in the next decade.
Cultural inability to advance?
