You often need to explain the same idea from different perspectives because you don't know your audience.

That quote is meaningful.

In a similar context, Bruce Lee said about martial arts that "martial" is to discover the dangerous animal within us, and the "art" is to be able to tame that animal.


> the "art" is to be able to mate that animal.

I'm assuming (hoping?) that this was supposed to be "tame"? If not, I've got some questions about Bruce Lee.


Let's watch your mood when AI answers your call.

Without junior positions there is no future senior positions.

Which works great for current seniors trying to continue getting paid, eh?

I think this is a feature rather than a bug for AI advocates who ultimately dream of a day when they can do away with pesky things like labor forces and be a CEO of their own rentier-capitalist empire without hassle. Employees are just a vestigial obstacle holding down the brilliant visionaries at the top.

Sorry, you are right.

Each time I submit a link from my phone, it's the programming languages link which gets submitted. I don't know why. Luckily this is the second time only I did that from my phone. It's also the last time.


Impressive. It sounds to be a thorough summary of Wirth's work.

>The SREs were accountable to the higher ups for the service being up. But other than that they are not expected to follow any prescribed process while dealing with the outages.

That's because hard work and being serious about your tasks do not get you promoted.


True knowledge is to know yourself.

The problem with quantum physics is that it's also a matter of interpretation.

It's like interpreting the body language: what you think could true only from your cultural perspective about people who share your culture.


I do not particularly agree with this. I don't think this analogy works.

Otherwise, what explains that there are those who say dark matter exists and build other opinions above it, and others dismiss its existence completely.

It means each is focussing on one subset of all the available observations. If three blind men discover an elephant and one gropes his trunk, another gropes a leg and a third gropes something else, they will come to very different conclusions about what an elephant is.

Well... that's just your cultural perspective, man.
