MLK did not succeed in his mission, that’s just a blatant lie. He won a few battles, and once he got close to real progress he was killed. No one “knew when to quit” they were decapitated and beaten into submission.

Honestly I think you have only a cursory understanding of MLKs life and mission, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying such ignorant things and trying to make him some example of why you shouldn’t be too “uppity” if you want “equality”.

You’re acting like he got tea with Hoover after they signed the civil rights act together, like it wasn’t a brutal conflict marred by violence, a full on non violent revolution, that was snuffed out.

I use it almost exclusively to help me approach novel problems, or at least problem spaces that I am severely lacking expertise in. It’s pretty incredible for helping me leverage my extant programming knowledge to accomplish things that I couldn’t before due to being blocked by research.

I’ve also used it quite a lot for advice as I was learning project management and moving away from individual contributions.

So I think as a consultant it has value, though I think “world class” might be a bit hyperbolic, since I still need to validate its output.

So you’re bearish on OpenAI because you don’t think they can deliver AGI? I don’t think they need to deliver AGI to be profitable.

I was scraping a Wordpress site a few months ago using Go and I had to spoof my user agent to get results. So it definitely happens

You’re right I should have said “vengeance” but it was early I guess, that’s my excuse anyway

Right, my point is, they killed MLK. So either he didn’t “know when to back down” or it doesn’t matter

This really doesn’t change anything about the statement. Peter Thiel had nothing to do with the incident, and utilized it to get them shutdown via the courts. Whether or not it was legal at the time is not relevant to Thiels actions, which were not born from a sense of justice but from a desire for vindication.

They murdered MLK for his beliefs, he didn’t “settle” for anything.

Each of those links is a published correction and retraction of previous statements as new information came to light so they seem like principled journalists, with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks.

I think it’s just a path a lot of developers have traveled, starting with JavaScript and moving to TypeScript. If you’ve gone through that pipeline than you probably feel very strongly about the benefits that TypeScript provides and it’s the fulcrum for your opinion on static vs dynamic typing

Too many web developers, basically, I don’t think the conflation is intentional

Curious what you think of folks like John Oliver, Stephen Colbert?

I did specify hooks + context, not just context. Hooks + context together can be cobbled together into an adequate state management solution for most apps, this article even agrees with me. So not sure what your point is lol

There’s a pretty massive difference between fraudulently staging a crime and telling jokes
