  When the private water needs help, tell it to ask its investors. Or have it become public. Private utilities don’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Sheer luck’: how German backpacker Carolina Wilga was found after 11 nights lost in dense Australian outback⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank goodness she was found. It sounded like another German lost in a desert that would become a tragic tale. This really is the best possible outcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most businesses lose authenticity as they grow.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Convergent business organization makes a lot of people mad. But some things just don’t scale or grow with the business. And one thing business leaders will never do is make less money so that’s why they will always look for ways to grow.

  You must not trust anyone you know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not fair. A robot can watch videos and perform surgery but when I do it I’m called a “monster” and “quack”.

  But seriously, this robot surgeon still needs a surgeon to chaperone so what’s being gained or saved? It’s just surgery with extra steps. This has the same execution as RoboTaxis (which also have a human onboard for emergencies) and those things are rightly being called a nightmare. What separates this from that?

  What else?

  Does no one write words on the tape labels?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Is Why Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Needed Human Babysitters⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because people are, by and large, both forgiving to charismatic people and hopeful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it does, the install base dwarfs PlayStation. Go where the money is to find money. Business is not that hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like the idea of “belief” is just being accepted as a religious or spiritual idea. Beliefs are the cornerstone because it’s a tool we use every single day.

  At the center of how we think is the fundamental idea of The Way Things Work and that comes down to how we believe the physical things around us will act and react. Just about everyone will start making a choice by comparing what we know to be real or true for ourselves and the things around us.

  That cornerstone of belief is what we use to define “real and true”. Ghosts or spirits are absolutely real and true for some people while others don’t see the same evidence.

  Beliefs get the special treatment because we are a collection of our experiences and each one of us has a different way of understanding how things work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Take long enough and you can just shit on the boss’s desk, slap down the paper, and be mad at their ungrateful attitude for bringing back lunch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Heads will roll’: BBC reckons with bias accusations over Israel and Palestine coverage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Judging from the statistical variation, there is a big gap between how each side is mentioned, the emotional weight of the words used for each side, and the way that the conflict is described from each perspective. The BBC strongly favors the Israeli side of the conflict.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that 158 families made up 50% of all US Presidential Campaign Spending⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just 158 examples

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MindsEye Developer Build a Rocket Boy Begins Layoff Process Amid Disastrous Launch, Studio Sources Say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Outsourcing is such a pre-AI mentality. Why have foreign loose ends that don’t speak the language well and give off amateurish vibes when a few computers and some AI credits will do it faster, better, and cheaper?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rematch review⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “What a save!”

  I can think of a few things RL has that can’t be found in Rematch. Yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved writing essays and see the value for a student in knowing how to state a case and back it up with evidence, what counts as evidence, and the importance of clearly communicating the ideas.

  That said, I also use AI to write copy daily and the most important thing for anyone’s cognition is critical thinking and reading comprehension, both of which AI is going to teach us whether we want it or not. Critical analysis is the only way we can navigate the future.

  Maybe this is another Great Filter for technologically advancing critters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MindsEye Developer Build a Rocket Boy Begins Layoff Process Amid Disastrous Launch, Studio Sources Say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Co-CEO Mark Gerhard had hit the headlines ahead of MindsEye’s launch for claiming there was a “concerted effort” by some to “trash the game and the studio,” suggesting people were being paid or using spam bots to post negative comments.

  The people who made the decisions which led them to this troubled state do not understand or accept that they are the reason hundreds are going to lose their jobs. “Paid actors” seems to be the big push back against criticism but no one knows how much these jobs pay or where to find one. I want to make some money for not buying crap!

  12kg rice and then 5 lbs black pepper. 110 gallons of water? Are the bedouins travelling with an eclectic mix of metric and avoirdupois measuring vessels?!
