Comment In that it is equally bullshit? Or even moreso? (Score 4, Interesting) 35

Learn to Code wasn't really about learning to code. If you talk about the efforts related to young students, it was too much about pushing coding careers that weren't reasonable matches for everyone; if you're referring to the general advice to future workers going to school, it created a lot of low-skill coders who also weren't actually suited for the occupation.

Learn to AI is bullshit for a whole ton of reasons, but primary among them are 1) you're training what they want to replace you with and 2) if you don't actually know the subject, you can't figure out when AI is bullshitting you. Both of them make leaning on the computer inferior to learning on the computer. If you don't learn to code, you can't learn to AI code.

False. I mean demonstrably time and time again false given the number of cases of fraud that have come about in mergers which have gone their way through the court.

You are talking past yourself. Nowhere did I say that not doing due diligence excuses fraud.

you're still being a victim blaming arsehole.

Maybe you should read what the judge wrote instead of promoting enablement, because I'm saying the same thing they did. I know reading is hard, especially while you're stroking your own ego, but try.

This has always been the prediction of Luddites, that technology would displace workers and that new jobs would never emerge.

Well, that's just false. Not the first part of course, but the second part. They didn't claim new jobs would never emerge. They claimed that the profits would flow upwards and make The People poorer while the rich got richer. They have been right for the last two centuries... so far.

Waymo and Tesla have functioning full self-driving systems

Waymo's hits and drags pedestrians and Tesla's misinterprets the sides of trailers as the sky, turns itself off at the last second to preserve its statistics, and drives under them. Is that functioning as designed?

They're parked in a position

Yes, sometimes they are parked. At other times, they move. That you haven't seen them moving doesn't prove that they do not move. Things happen even when you are not looking.

In CA we have trucks with (specifically) the Scorpion® TMA Truck Mounted Attenuator. Sometimes they are parked, but most of the time when I see them they are slowly following another vehicle.

What's RTO?

If you cannot figure this out by reading the summary, which makes it obvious, you should try learning to read.

If you cannot be bothered to read the whole summary, you have a lot of company here, but your attention span is still post-millennial and you should go back to TikTok.

Either way, efficiency as high a value to me as liberty is; and Medicare is built on the perhaps efficient theft of my money.

Everything you do, and every dollar you make, is predicated upon the existence of our nation and its government. You want to pay nothing to maintain the system upon which you depend for every penny of profit. This is a wholly immature, unrealistic, and unsustainable attitude.

"I would imagine that sales of the cutting edge parts are a tiny niche catering to enthusiasts and tech companies"

You seem to have a basic lack of understanding about processor technology. Don't feel too bad, I have seen several other comments in this thread where they make the same mistake.

Nobody wants to sell chips made on an old process for multiple reasons. Not only performance and power efficiency, which matters a whole lot since laptops have proliferated, but also because you get more chips per wafer. Unless of course you are Intel, because both their last process and their current process have poor yields.

Nobody wants to make any CPUs on inferior processes.

Yes Social Security IS a ponzi/pyramid scheme

It is this only because they won't eliminate the contribution cap. That would keep it funded for decades and give us plenty of time to come up with something better.

Me and my wife take care of my parents because my siblings don't want to

You're supposed to raise your kids to want to take care of you. Sounds like you either got different treatment, or tolerate more abuse.

I tell parents of those kinds of kids, don't leave them ANYTHING, let them figure it out on their own when you die.

I've had to figure it out on my own for the most part anyway because my parents were so terrible at parenting. My father did teach me one valuable lesson, pay attention, but as he frequently did it with his hand I didn't grow up with a lot of affection for him.
