Oh and did I mention that COBOL is the _high_level_ programming language in play?
Some of it is written in Assembler.
Old mainframe assembler. It’s barely even software.
It’s like nothing these children have ever seen, heard of or imagined.

I understand that he is using his Grok AI to figure out the legacy systems and rewrite the COBOL code that runs them, so I'm sure it will be fine.
</sarcasm>
Even if AI was reliable - and it's not - there isn't enough publicly available COBOL code on the planet to train an AI on.

I regularly get people trying to “educate” me about renewable energy and energy efficiency - topics about which I am a nationally-recognized expert and have nearly 30 years experience on top of an engineering degree from Caltech.
I don’t feel obligated to give those people the time of day either.

This, by the way, is a reason to prefer regenerative farming methods (not “organic”).
It takes years and a variety of techniques but you can build soil to the point where it, as a living organism, provides what the plants need. All good regenerative farmers are soil farmers.

No they can’t. Nitrogen burn comes from excess water soluble nitrogen (synthetic fertilizer, or a few organic products like blood meal). The nitrogen fixes by root nodules isn’t nearly so bioavailable. It’s more like a time release.

You do realize this had next to nothing to do with economics, right?
It’s the fascism, the elite impunity, the utter fecklessness of the institutions that are supposed to protect us.
On that front, this reaction is merely a symptom of being able see past the end of one’s own nose.

TLDR: Catabolic Collapse is what happens to a complex civilization that declines to do sufficient maintenance on its infrastructure, particularly its productive capital infrastructure.
Google around for the term “catabolic collapse”. That’s what we are struggling against.
Unlike the guy who originated the term I do NOT believe it is inevitable but it is a common repeating pattern/error for human civilizations. We need to stop making it.

So we have to use rhetoric that invokes legions of engineers off to fight glonzo and cast him down into the pits of irrelevance.
Fine. If that’s what it takes, let’s just formally declare a technomancy and be done with it.

Respectfully, this is not her main point. Conspiracists always dress up their red-string nonsense in "reasonable concerns" about genuine issues.
The purpose of this column is to endorse the lab leak theory, not to propose better biosafety practices.

It’s really unfortunate because the lab leak hypothesis isn’t her main point, and even SHE loses track of this.
Her main point is that gain-of-function research is dangerous, and we’re not being as careful with it as we should be, and we’re not talking openly about the risks.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Sorry this is sort of my own shorthand. Metabolic refers to the flows of resources and energy, through both biological (“natural”) and technical (manufacturing) cycles.

It’s no accident that the Bundy’s were ranchers, or that the tiff was over his use of public lands for grazing.
Most ranchers are parasites, profiting off the destruction of soil and waterways. And paying NOTHING for it.

A good friend of mine works for Google on exactly this problem. He says that Google is the only major lab that is doing this sort of accounting - it’s a massive technical challenge. The others really don’t know what exactly they are feeding into the training corpus.

Dude thinks that right-wingers care about or even notice hypocrisy, so he’s about a decade and a half behind the times.
Or he’s one of the “liberals” (ie. quislings) who has made a career out of doing the “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” routine.
Terminally naive or traitor?

Depriving the billionaire class of their money (and thus power) is both more important than and an absolute prerequisite to any remotely socialist future.

To be clear, I think this is hilarious but also relevant and well worth keeping up as a form of protest/sabotage.
Putting the Nazis on the defensive in the media has been an ongoing challenge.
But there is NOTHING more defensive than having to assert that your party’s avatar is in fact not dead.

the haters and losers will say it's foolish to indulge in wild speculation but you can't deny it's extremely funny that they have to write headlines like this

I'm fine with that; said as much at several points in the thread
But the replies strongly suggest people disagree with you on the "raising revenue" part 😉

The reason we tax rich people isn’t to raise revenue.
It is to destroy their political power.
