News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Meanwhile in the west we're lead by the weakest who merely got good grades but never built a thing of their own. People who caved time and again for money and sold our infrastructure off undermining our own learning and growth as individuals and a collective

The winners in our system are just the ones who get everyone else to kowtow and do the work, leaving leadership ignorant and inexperienced but lauded for some reason

It's a weird reverential system where figments of imagination still earn great amounts of deference; figment of out imagination being the American civil religion and hierarchy of figureheads who don't even know you exist; why would they care?

How reliant this culture is on bowing to figureheads painted on walls while talking like it isn't is a bizarre cognitive dissonance that should be studied for centuries

There is zero obligation for anyone else to sit around and wait for ontological analysis; what fundamental forces of physics demand this?

You're not engaged in scientific inquiry.

You're circumlocuting scripture. Memorization and parroting. You come off like Luke Skywalker screaming about Jedi Sacred Texts! being forgotten.

Will lean on my applied physics degree studying in labs entropy in various materials. Hands on material experience adding, subtracting power sources and levels to systems of various physical materials measuring for change; everything is implicitly mathematical ratios.

The language is just what we use to communicate in meat space. It doesn't actually define anything but our social relationships to ground truth. I don't need to hear from someone in academia especially obsessed with the rhetoric to make sense of my lived experience.

No way mom's not been out for their own kids all these centuries; not that there's anything wrong with that but they exist and it's just emotional propaganda social moat stuff to compare/contrast rhetoric with effort, not ignore the eyes for rhetoric

Like it seems feminism so far hasn't really resulted in anything new from the woman's context; they all just got into lawyer, judge, accountant, plumber, engineer, mechanic jobs too.

Celebrating the whole cultural history of how women just signed right up for the violence is not a flex

> What we don't see is a debate over government overreach, balanced budgets, or even whether we should even be in a war with Iran.

How have you not seen any of those items discussed? It's all I see.

What I don't see is why my fucking neighbors themselves are more than a vote. Having worked with you all for decades now, I don't find any of you any smarter or fucking competent to be a org leader; what have we done but bitch about what web framework and cloud backend to use and stupid valuations should we run up?

It's all ultimately a huge waste since we can't be sure the meteor doesn't hit Earth after we die; we're all just fucking winging it

My age peers 45-50 are just the next Boomers; overly verbose nitwits jerking off whatever literacy they acquired through education. It's cheesy as fuck stupid primates grasping at straws and throwing emotional poop, arbitrary social fiefdom erecting as a means to engage in gentle math based eugenics of who earned a job on an office gig roster.

Fingers crossed everyone loses. Cause if this is all advanced society is capable of launch the nukes.

In the US 85%ish live <100 miles from their childhood home

Fewer people than you want to believe from staring into a filter bubble of HN approved tech startup/disrupt! psychosis generator care about impressing a billionaire investor

People out there have fucked animals for sexual release

Don't anthropomorphize the humans; they don't have a reliable track record of being worth the respect. They’re animals and care more about enslavement of each others minds and agency to the benefit of a toxic minority of codependent losers who are too lazy to learn how to rotate a tire or flip a burger on their own

Computers science is just applied math, has nothing to do with the machine.

The term computer was coined to describe humans engaged in applied math jobs before the machines existed.

The models are matrices of values engaged in reducing options to the most desired outcome given inputs. That's software dev.

"Fundamentally" or "fine tune" is meaningless; no model spontaneously emerged through a membrane from another reality. They’re all fine tuned from nothing into a model or from a general model to a specialized one.

You're circumlocuting semantics to say something for social media, but the physical provenance is clear. They're not of mythical origin and it's still math relative to set of memory values.
