Who needs a language at all?

Cowboy Neal codes in machine instructions, AI should too.

Even C gets translated to assembly before the assembler makes the binary that gets modified by the linker.

Point is: all human-accessible programming languages are _at least_ two degrees of separation from machine language executed by the instruction decoder in the CPU. The only thing that matters is the final binary executable in RAM.

Comment That's the plan right? (Score 1) 144

Make it very appealing to amass lots of debt now, for a short time; then jack up the rates after you have them by the short hairs.

It's very close to the drug dealer business model: the first hit is free, after that you pay full price.

Both methods fuck the customer, and consolidate wealth in the hands of a a few.

At least, that's what appears to be going on with my perspective looking in from outside the USA.

Comment Who did Stack Overflow kill back in 2014 (Score 5, Insightful) 125

I used to give free IT Support in yahoo chat groups in the 1998-2003 era. People stopped asking for help in those html-based real-time chat forums sometime around when Stack Overflow was getting started.

I think this news is just evolution that has no "right or wrong", only "kill or be killed, eat or be eaten".

I'm replying here about a much earlier statement: "everybody" benefits from roads; unless a person homesteads and manually grows/picks/slaughters all their food & water; then I agree the general tax fund seems a good place to get money to pay for roads. Also tax the personal automobile, so that people who use roads more, pay via more channels.
