They phrase it briefly like that for maximum coverage

Pose your question to them and they can say "sure if you need to finish our statement with...high standards to follow law... you do you"

Subject = our high standards

Predicate = whatever context you want to store here

Yes you get me though my argument is the inverse; possible to assert any claim with abstract philosophy like "ultimate control"

And our agreement doesn't stop there. No views I encounter anymore at my near ripe old age of 50 are new anymore

Social conservatism whittles viable value statements down to a finite subset of cause-effect. And I don't mean just flag waving holy book social conservatism. This community is clinging hard to social tropes the other 8 billion are moving on from

Run a trend analysis on the comments of HN going back decades whole lot of repetitive gab about state management in a machine; chef or bash or llms... same old ground truth; don't speak too far outside the experience of readers or the inherent short term prediction engine in their brain will segfault from a biological memory overflow

Religious people are not the only ones who live in rhetorical fantasy

End of day the provenance of any socialized idea is some rando I have no obligation to march in lockstep with; physically or philosophically

They should outlaw financial engineering of human agency and build decision models developed and deployed within full public view that bubble up for vote national, regional, or local initiatives

But since government is a euphemism for the more verbose "humans whose biology drives them to select self" they will continue to mishandle the "affordability crisis" by propping up its roots, doing nothing to stave off future gilded ages

Curious if the author can provide examples of things we ever had ultimate control over?

None of us had a say in our existence itself. Skin color. If we cannot have a say over our provenance itself "ultimate control" is just an empty phrase.

Their concerns about big corp might hold some meager merit but "beware the avarice of rich people who view you as a sheep in their flock whether you want it or not" isn't really new.

Yep; tons of references to programming, Ruby, SQL, other technologies

None of which have much to do with how the hardware handles requests.

Am an EE with a background in applied physics and well aware we could jam a kernel in the BIOS/UEFI storage and generate the runtime state around it at boot from a prompt cause I am working on just that

Which is exactly where we are headed with Jev/decision models; they can generate new config to min/maxing per process resource use; look into bpf and sched_ext and meditate on their application. It should eventually jump out at you

We have known in the abstract how to handle computing efficiently on our machines since we started building transistor based machines

It doesn't require handing a bunch of meat suits verbose languages/bloated state machines to manually tweak the parameters of and make mess of electrical state management

Writing code is not high tech. It's 1970s and 1980s tech. As this forum should be well aware tech evolves with the times.

The coder bros refusal to move on is them clinging to a sunk cost fallacy; but they already put time and $$ into their education in ugly languages and DSLs that merely initialize values in memory and ask the hardware to run it within some spacetime constraints

The syntactic gibberish is just a barnacle of a bygone era

Social web addicted Millennials need to grow up and move on

I was responding to the "immense effort"

Performance issues in code just need an LLM now

This is about computer code. Debunking is either "it runs or doesn't". Not hard.

Presentation layer code doesn't control how the machine and kernel prioritize anything; so "proof" Ruby code is doing the right thing is proving the machine does the right thing from the factory.

As for abstract theory and math, well shit since any English and any math are...mathematically possible...well shit I guess we gonna have to live in the real world and not inside a rhetorical bubble; religious or atheist philosophy... cause they are not evenly distributed frameworks as religion clearly shows; so why live by the syntax and semantics of some mathematical rando who taught a stats class years ago?

Same shit as living by religious allegory

Goodhart's Law has come for 1900s means of scientific inquiry; every technology follows an S-curve and the same for every social society. In the US we aren't all defaulting to calling ourselves British or speaking Latin.

Physics will always be there. The stupid glyphs and bird song we came up with to communicate about it isn't physics. It's just a human language system.

You have no authority over my emotions, entitled rando nobody; back off

Quit reading there.

I am off the hook for your food, shelter, healthcare in our culture.

Social media has people in their living room demanding others respect that; but we're at home or other personal context ... everyone is hosting so no one dictates house rules

Social web is dying cause everyone caught on its just a bunch of entitled Americans expecting the same treatment they would get in their cul de sac

Disagree; dancing like a chimp for some coin jangling in grandpas pocket is where this sense of obligation to earn money started for us as kids

Sensory memory reinforces our agency more than philosophy; we're replaying visual memory just like we were shown

All these startups need to jump yeh high raises hand to arbitrary height to get funding because of gramps old rules

Better keep line go up for old rich will financially engineer this economy right off a fiscal cliff! (Google simpsons fiscal cliff for context)

And more specifically to the "no one is worried..." you should get out more cause I encounter "we owe it to our elders to carry on their ways for all they did for us" type conclusions a whole lot

We could collectively action around less stupid jobs like knowledge work. We're well outside the post WW2 rebuild that fostered "endless growth" mentality in elders

84% in the US live <100 miles from their childhood home collectively acting just fine

I think a majority are capably collectively acting where they are; not sure where you see a deficiency there

> I say this as a person who hates tipping but mechanically leaves 20%

Thereby perpetuating cheap skate owners can continue to get away with labor exploitation and wage theft

You know the olds that put this social way in our heads are dead or too old to force our hand anymore

No need to continue to kowtow like an abused spouse; grandpas hand can barely lift a glass of water

Their strict adherence to decorum is intentional self selection and preference for preserving their own gains in life

They're people solving for the same biological imperatives we all are

Like gamergate "Dems this and GOP that" is just propaganda. Intentional obfuscating of the plain old biological motive that underlies their being

Conjure all the gibberish philosophy we want there's no waving off that imperative is still there

Tell us you aren't paying attention without telling us you are not paying attention.

Wtf are you even on about?

But we don't have balance.

The typical age in Senate is "older than dirt" and it's not much better in the House.

That imbalance is fostering de-stabilization; maybe not for you cause you filled your bag or have generational wealth? Cause everyone I know has seen their wages go down 30-40% and grocery bill go up 50-60%

Wins on paper. The illegal acts continue.

Nah.

We have an Executive, Legisla...handful of outdated pants shitters, and SCOTUS

Oh and 10s of millions of <50 year old adults that outnumber the >50 cohort. Yet they're too afraid of an frail olds doddering off into their own inner world live on TV.

Thing is rest of the world been saying this about the US for decades but censored TV full of imagery like one might see painted over buildings in countries run by Dear Leaders; Americans are effectively socially the same low effort smooth brains as those in terror nations they bemoan.
