But then again, what’s the purpose of being alive?
Apparently dragging people from peaceful nonexistence into existence without their consent so that during their lifetime they will endure a lot of suffering, admittedly experiencing some transient joys along the way but doomed to one day have to undergo the agony of getting sick and dying, after which everything that happened during their life will have been meaningless, given that one day (in the near or far future) there will be no humans left and so even how their life affected other people will have been for naught?
I mean, that does not seem like a great life purpose to me, but you do you I guess?
My interpretation of this comic was that it is making fun of the parts of having a kid that they don't tell you about, not that it was being judgemental towards anyone.
Sure, it is being hyperbolic, but hyperbole is common feature of humor.
The companies that win won’t be those with the most or even the best features. AI will democratize those. The winners will be built on a data model that captures something true about their market, which in turn creates compounding advantages competitors can’t replicate.
If AI is really so good that it will democratize writing code to implement features, then why won't it also democratize the ability to come up with the correct data model? What makes that one task so special?
Were I to conjecture as to the answer, I would say that business types seem to have a blind spot where they think that every role will be commodified except their own, which is somehow special.
Oh, cool, to be honest I was actually in the process of transitioning to another instance due to the instability, but it sounds like I may not need to!
Sure, but maybe that middle ground is pretty far from supporting people who believe things like the problem with Britain is that it is no longer sufficiently white and active steps should be taken to fix this?
I mean, they only have the power to do these things because we actively give it to them, so if we just stopped doing that then we would not need to also chop off their heads.
They would have had a working compiler by now if only they had taken my advice and gotten an ALGOL 60 compiler to work first, rather than skipping a generation!
Hi @cm0002! Out of curiosity, it has been stated by @lengau that you posted this here because Ubuntu's switch to uutils has motivated you to pay more attention to other projects that the FSF is working on. Is this true, or was this just a projection?
(Just to be clear, I don't mind if this is your motivation, since you supply so much of the content here so I am not going to complain, and it is fun to hear about projects I was unaware of anyway! I just don't like seeing people project their own biases onto others.)
