- Comment on Pirates are just hyperindividualized, privatized navies engaged in a competitive market with one another so how can they be worse than navies according to the logic of capitalism? 1 week ago:
It should just be that the government doesn’t patrol the high seas, of course! Every ship should enter into personal 1-on-1 contracts with each pirate for a market appropriate rate to ensure they don’t get attacked. The Libertrian way won’t cause any issues of scale, rampant loss of merchant ships, and an eventual ending of all oceangoing shipping outside of the handful of ships that can afford their own navies to escort them… /s
- Comment on Staggering Finds Show Early Humans Lived Alongside the Very Apes They Evolved from 2 weeks ago:
You’re getting it just fine. This is exactly what’s expected in many cases as speciation occurs. Usually the two branches diverge, but still overlap in the timeline. Over time they either both survive and continue to diverge, or one (or both) dies out.
- Comment on Staggering Finds Show Early Humans Lived Alongside the Very Apes They Evolved from 2 weeks ago:
For anyone who actually works with evolutionary systems and models: yup, that’s how it would work. I’m glad they found evidence that the models aren’t overturned, though likely tuned by the new info.
These are phenomenal finds. Great work, slow diggers!

Since 1998, baby! Found my RedHat 3.0.3 install CD recently. It’s been such a long road, but it keeps getting better.

It’s not a conservative’s problem until it effects them personally. By then it’s usually too late, but at least they feel bad about that one issue for a while.
- Comment on The people who first invented tools had to invent inventing tools without tools. 4 months ago:
I like to talk about this in my CS classes. We get compiles to compile code by compiling a compiler with a compiler. It’s an infinite regression problem that terminates with someone writing a compiler in assembly… Which requires an assembler to assemble… So you write an assembler in machine code directly on the processor.
If we lost all of the currently compiled programs one day, even with the compiler source code in hand, it would be some serious work to rebuild our current tool chains.
- Comment on Copilot is on every updated PC. Forever. 5 months ago:
Not on my machines. Open Source oses and tools are the only way to have a chance at dodging this kind of thing.
- Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr? 10 months ago:
If you’re a professor with a doctorate in Germany, the official way to refer to you is Professor Doctor [last name]. If you hold two doctorates it’s Professor Doctor Doctor.
Professor is also a serious and registered title in Germany. You can’t just start a school and start handing out professorships without oversight and approval.
