We aren't innovating like we use to and it isn't even close. We are just such a histrionically ignorant society that has lowered the bar on innovation so we can pretend that we are a society innovating at lighting speed.

The smartphone was 15 years ago but we act like it was yesterday.

1900-1910ish we got air conditioning, plastics, airplanes, motion pictures, the Theory of Relativity..

We are just so clueless now. Even the smart people are clueless.

The example is a previously arrested sex offender and child molester writing crazy revenge stories.

From there, potentially guys who can't get laid are suspect of thought crimes? What?

Good to see we still have Pulitzer prize level journalist doing hard hitting investigative reporting instead of writing nonsense with clickbait titles.

The whole idea is just so dumb.

This comment I am making is not worth $.000000001 USD, it is worth exactly zero in whatever currency you want to denominate it in. $0 BTCH, $0 ETH, even $0 Zimbabwean Dollars. Take your pick.

It might even be worth a negative amount of currency since it is a mostly pointless comment and anyone who reads this has kind of had their time wasted. That is practically most of what is online IMO and why micro payments are an idea that have not and never will take off.

Exactly, this makes no sense to me.

Sorry, we have no burgers, come back later.

This just looks like some corporate process improvement project that is doomed to fail but looks good on someone's resume.

Google says fast food labor cost is about 25% of cost. I just don't know if that is really enough savings overall with the added expense and risk of a machine.

KDE Neon with KDE Plasma is way better than Windows.

I don't know what else to tell you. I am a moron, lazy and get easily frustrated.

I don't work in IT.

Installation is 15 minutes and everything just works perfect. There is no way people can have all these problems with Linux here if I can figure this out. If it was any type of frustration I would just stick with Windows.

I think many people here must just make things up about all these linux problems because it makes no sense to me at all.

I don't even know what a single directory outside of my /home directory is for.

Our media has to appeal to emotions with zero substance because no one will read anything of substance.

IMO the way for Putin to get what he wants is exactly what this stupid article is advocating for. He is either in for a long drawn out insurgency that can't really be won or an escalation to the doorstep of WW3 that he will enter negotiations with all the leverage.

We are basically anti-Machiavellians. Instead of the end justifying the means we believe that as long as we have good intentions we don't care about the outcome.

Same here. I was done after Windows 7 for linux.

I would say I can't believe they are doing this but I can completely believe they are doing this.

I remember how much I liked Windows 2000 and then they had to "fix" it.

I remember walking early morning last summer, listening to the birds and thinking how absurd it is to believe this isn't a type of language.

I guess it would depend on what is considered the minimum constraints to be considered a language.

An event of this magnitude is going to change alliances.

If you look at a map of the Belt and Road initiative it makes no sense why India would be allied with the West long term. That is the next world order and now Russia is absolutely a part of it.

IMO the history books will view this event as an utter disaster for the West and a gain for Belt and Road that would have been tough get otherwise.

I watched a brilliant interview with Vladimir Klitschko with him basically saying that Ukraine is part of Europe. Why are you standing by and not defending this European country? It was the way he said it, so brilliant and convincing.

Ukraine has won the information war in a total wipe out.

IMO all porn will be illegal in less than 50 years.

We just happen to live in this small blip in time that an almost libertine view of sex is normalized but this will not last forever.

Things have changed so much in the past 25 years. The music industry use to drive a vibrant social scene revolving around art, music, dance, theater. All of that is just a shell of what it was two decades ago.

Every city use to have a Village Voice free paper knock off that would list all kinds of social events going on. In my city, they don't bother with the paper anymore. Now it is all online with no social events and just political ranting opinion pieces.

Anything left was killed by Covid. If I was young, I would find a new country.

People are basically content at this point at the average to leave their home as little as possible.

I think you have to figure out what kind of problems you want to solve. scikit-learn will run perfectly fine on your CPU and you might not need all this complexity beyond that.

I think you are getting side tracked by a bunch of people at a car show with their hood popped checking out the custom chrome engines each other have. It is a bit pointless to worry about if you don't even know how to drive yet.

Once you hit 18 it is all down hill.

For sure. Not to mention someone like me who is child free and never going to learn these lessons.

Russia, a giant country with a ton of natural resources. China, a giant population that needs a ton of natural resources.

This is not a tough one to figure out.

We talk about these things like they are separate closed systems when they are not.

It is an innovation and banking problem. There are all kinds of feedback loops involved.

The ridiculous amount of liquidity in the global system changes and distorts risk preferences.

It also creates these giant sinks of brain power that are just moving money around. We have had amazing innovation the past twenty years in electronic markets, hedge funds, venture capital firms, cryptocurrency. Think of how much brain power is being wasted just modeling capital structures instead of something actually innovating because there is so much capital moving around that needs to be modeled.

How much brain power is being wasted at hedge funds? I have read hedge fund manager Jim Simons say he thinks he has the best research department in the world inside his hedge fund. It is not that much different than dedicating the best research department in the world to playing better poker. It is an utter waste of resources and we see it all around us with the complete lack of innovation.
