Person, the reason the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- has the NULL HYPOTHESIS as "no correlation", is because OF THAT. Your senses LIE!!!!

Fucking take your left and right hand, and 3 buckets if water of different temperatures. Let's say ONE is HOT, ONE is COLD, and the final is LUKEWARM/GOLDILOCKS.

Put your left hand and right hand into C and H, respectively. Wait. Minute.

Put both in the lukewarm.

Do your hands agree on temperature?

No. Fucking pay attention to your mental biases. That's why science is a DISCIPLINE OF MIND.

FFS.

"This ALPR mass surveillance â" the indiscriminate, continuous collection and retention of location data on every driver, regardless of suspicion â" should not exist. But because it does..."

Because of all those who predate upon those with lack of critical thinking skills.

"Wake up to reality" is the double-think that they say is dumb when they pejoratively call people "woke."

"Woke" is just a word for "slave that doesn't know its place."

I have three boys in uni.
Read to them from babies and they were reading by preschool.
Regular library trips.
All three are regular novel readers now.
So parenting is a big part. Diggers are good at Dig Dig Digging man I got so sick of some books haha
Dr Zeus was a fav!

Thats why we compartmentalize projects now into a specific self contained domains.
Postgres inside, C# or Python backend, React Front End, API at the edge, gitea CI/CD
For example
Asset Manager
Property Manager
HRMS
QA
Sensor Data Viewer

All self contained.
The Asset manager identifies the risk level of the asset, the HRMS has training and comptency matric for the staff.
Seems to be working well ATM

I’m an EE and have coded mostly embedded for over 40 years.
In the 2 months, using Claude code, I’ve
Created property management application, including APIs to read 12 solar accounts, AI read pdf electricity bills, tenant portal, SharePoint integration, graph and entra integration, document storage, tenant doc sharing, lease management, critical date and compliance management, task management, dashboard, key register, DB backup within and external to app, etc etc. Full CI/CD pipeline with Gita secrets injection to docker. C# backend, React front end. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do front end dev. It took under 2 weeks, where most of time was devops with IT.
I’ve also developed a complex magnetometer data processing app (sync demod, FFT, water wall)
An asset management application to keep track of hundreds of pieces of test equipment.
An app to port 100k+ test records from unstructured ATE test logs to a structured searchable database.
Ported a payroll checking app I wrote in C# to a web app.
Debugged a commercial RFID microcontroller project with an obscure bug.
Developed a software architecture plan for complex mining sensor software.

The AI is WAY smarter than me most of the time and has allowed 20x productivity and done things I’d never had the patience to learn, like front end dev.
The cost of code has gone to almost zero.

Nobody will use their new app, because the old one sucks and we all use Spotify.
Spotify works so why change.
Want to do something innovative add Bluetooth.

a doozie to debug

Yeah.

They completely ignore panserpmia.

They just quote Isaac Asimov's writing from almost half a century ago (Europa). Ignores Enceladus, Titan, Venus, Mars; all of which have *BIOSIGNATURES* of a probability curve not too dissimilar to Europa.

They are likely a dilettante. Those folks do not do "prior art" research because they believe in the Auteur Myth.

  "An auteur is a filmmaker whose personal style and thematic focus are so distinctive that they are considered the 'author' of their films, a concept known as the auteur myth."

Real science isn't that. Real science is a rational discipline. The null hypothesis -- know what that means. Prior art -- know what that means. Mental biases -- know those, too; you'll see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. Science is the discipline of mind that ensures you're not just spewing random nonsense. You verify what you think; that's the discipline.

As Isaac Newton said ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), "nani gigantum humeris insidentes."

Ignore them.

Everything seems obvious once it is explained.

Why do 12-14 steps of algebra, when calculus works in 2?

Obvious. People should know calculus.

Yet they don't.

Define Green's Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- is obvious.

Everything is obvious *IN HINDSIGHT*.

They'll ban you for expressing forbidden opinions. Opinions that are extremely fucking common outside of Reddit.

I was auto suspended because I quoted a 30 year old statement supporting the rights of gays and lesbians that made reference to "LGB communities". I was accused of Trans erasure or some other stupid bullshit.

I hope the stock price falls low enough for Elon Musk to buy it for a song.

IKEA force you to use an AI chat bot. It was so bad for the multiple times I had to use it, I ended up asking it to patch me to a human on the it’s line.
But not quite as bad as when MS outsourced L1 support to India and instructed the support person to empathise with your plight.
I’m sorry sir you mouse disconnects 5 times a day. That must make you feel mad,

What the hell is that? Is that a salesman in PC-speak?

And don’t forget they still use Imperial. And tipping culture. And voting on tuesdays

His podcast Better Offline is squarely targeted at people who are very much online. Indeed his entire gig is the epitome of online living.

If Ed Zitron really felt better offline, he wouldn't be making a living off of a podcast and constant AI bashing.

Not that I necessarily disagree with him though... It's just that the messenger doesn't really befit the message.
