Yeah, of course it is…

I posted about this exact thing over and over late last year. Always to tepid response from all but a few others that understand that in the US, privacy is a relic of the old world.
Glad at least Mother Jones got the memo.

I don’t golf, but I don’t think I could chip a shot that badly if I tried. FFS, even as a minigolf round, I’ve done better over that distance.

There’s a ton of papers on Google Scholar that still include phases like “Let’s delve into…” That show otnwas used not to translate, but for the research itself.
And someone did replicate this, and ChatGPT 4o, o1, Claude and Grok all came up with the same formula for an “easy” way to calculate tariffs.

Not hide. They want to return the developed world to literal medieval-style surfdom economics. It’s total egotistical delusion.

Very common at places up in Lapland as well, though not super useful anymore since everyone just has an app that does the same thing.

OK, well let’s see how it plays out in 20 years and see where things go.
- Comment on Hina releases sodium-ion battery solution for commercial cars, able to be fully charged in 25 minutes 1 week ago:
100% agree. These along with induction charging roads are what puts EVs over the line in terms of average distance per charge.
Sodium is also far easier to get, no mines involved. This might be closer to the era of 89¢ gas.

Not at all. This person is only describing life/work in some of the post-WII developed world. Historically, this is the anomaly, not the norm.
For a large part of recorded history, the formula was that land/resource holders offered anyone the cheapest, lousiest, and worst acceptable conditions in exchange for work. The conditions of the resource holders also actually sucked, and when leveraging economies of scale, offers of relative physical and economic security (sure, you’ll be kinda poor, but you don’t have to travel to another town to sell grain to survive because the Lord will always buy it from you at a “fair” rate.) were typically the value add that made it worth it to consider share-cropping under nobility as opposed to simply going it alone.
I’m not sure why Reddit and Lemmy seem so hell-bent on this fantasy version of history where farming is a joy denied us by the wealthy, but its hilariously misguided. Considering where things are headed, it sounds like for many it will end up being a dangerously wrong fantasy that others can take advantage of easily, and people that post things like this will learn the lesson first hand.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
I lime to use GPT to create practice tests for certification tests. Even if I give it very specific guidance to double check what it thinks is a correct answer, it will gladly tell me I got questions wrong and I will have to ask it to triple check the right answer, which is what I actually answered.

Zebra is delicious and is absolutely the counterfactual to show that horses would be a well.
But Zebras as dicks, so eat them first.
- Comment on Happy Birthday Emma! 2 weeks ago:
Zebra is the solution.
Zebra are assholes. They can’t be trained or domesticated. Their meat is delicious, and I delight in eating it. I get why lions love them.
But I would sooner spend $20K at the vet on a horse than eat one.
- Comment on Happy Birthday Emma! 2 weeks ago:
People in place where there’s a lot of crocs around generally don’t like to eat them because there’s a non-zero chance that you’re eating a croc that ate someone you know. Farmed Crocs are the workaround, but especially across rural southern Africa, there’s as much stigma with croc meat as Americans with horse.
- Comment on Your voice assistant is profiling you, just not in the way you expect, new research finds. 3 weeks ago:
So even the most sophisticated profiling is wrong a significant part of the time.
Great. Glad its been so worth it too scoup up all my data and leak it everywhere just to not know how to use it for your stated intended purpose.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 weeks ago:
Short of doing a demo with rolls of change or MnMs or something, asking people to conceptualize math that is not just simple addition is often asking too much. Especially when people’s financial literacy is learned at home from people who retired in 1996.
- Comment on DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous 4 weeks ago:
I will be the first to lean into the fact that over the next 5 years, workflow in every company will change dramatically. It’s going to be like the shift from no one having email, to everyone doing business by email.
But you know what’s a bad idea? Rawdogging that change in real time, on spec, with your human workflow staff out in the street, and your staff are politically-appointed children, all while things like critical infrastructure, healthcare, nukes, air traffick, and the military are your “in production” assets that might go down. All to try and be the guy that shoves his AI in the gap.
All governments moved to email slowly because, among other reasons, email is inherently insecure. Email use by governments, records laws, and encryption standards progressed together. None of those types of knock-ons are considered here.
- Comment on Poor guy 4 weeks ago:
This is 100% correct in high detail.
What’s amazing is that many other African countries have the same or a similar rule. And Starlink operates on those counties, meaning that he is willing to engage with the rules-as-official-bribes system. It’s that he wants to try and name the SA government look like they’re prioritizing bribes over “improving” things for the average person. He has demonstrated it’s entirely personal.
Meanwhile, Amazon and EuTelSat are going to have a non-politicized alternative to market before he ever gets his head out of his ass, and lap him in that largest market on the continent.
