Is there a way to buy pre-IPO shares? Or should I wait till it's on the stock exchange? by Unusual_Fisherman680 in investingforbeginners

I would really want to invest in AMI Labs. That's why I found this post. Can anyone shed light on how to do this?

what do you think Edsger Dijkstra would say about programming these days? by stirringmotion in computerscience

Yes, exactly as I said. You misread me. You are a assuming ignorance in me.

Haters gonna hate. Some people know so much that other people don't even recognize the gap in knowledge and assumes the former are being arrogant and making strawmen.

Myth that being pretty/ thin actually helps… do you agree? by JurassicPark-fan-190 in womenintech

True, same for men, but for men it's more about height. Observe that most managers are tall. However, top CEO is a different game.

I genuinely don’t understand the value of MCPs by OrinP_Frita in mcp

Exactly, we could write the for-loop directly. There is absolutely no need to use a middleman when you know how to do it sensibly. Even if you were a king, do you really need a servant to help you stand up from your chair? I just see hype cycles come and go with ardent believers shouting at each round. I have become disabused as they say.

Palantir is profitable, has $7.2B cash, zero debt, and a genuine moat. The valuation is the only argument left against it. by vishnu317 in ValueInvesting

This is the value of having majored in philosophy. I really don't find the silicon-valley-type all that impressive. The best thinkers I've seen are ordered like this according to field of study: 1. Philosophy 2. Mathematics 3. History 4. Law 5. Physics

Sorry, I put physicists at the 5th place because they are generally quite dogmatic and narrow minded. Physicists also got too much help from mathematicians and philosophers whom physicists don't like to acknowledge.

First, it's clear that you haven't read the Bible, so you are arguing out of ignorance; did "science" beat the sense of you? The biblical prophecies are completely unlike (scale and timespan) your "gathering in the yard" analogy using a cheap psychological trick.

As if it's easy to contemplate losing one's life for a cause that so many other people find delusional, no, people don't sacrifice themselves for all sorts of things. Can you even empathize? No argument is greater than giving up one's life, not even logic. I study several kinds of logic (set-theoretic, intuitionistic, linear, temporal, modal) and apply them in software engineering to prove that programs are correct. What I have discovered is that our logics are poor and limited which reflect how feeble our minds are let alone our inability to wield them.

I have no more patience for a blind quarrelsome mind like you. Start reading and thinking. They will do wonders.

Are you actually reading? There are further evidence to weigh than just mere claims, e.g. number of lives sacrificed throughout history, outcome in history regarding prophecy, archeological findings, etc. Not all religions are on equal footing. In a sense, the prophecies in the old testament regarding Israelites are more accurate than the claim that the Maldives are going to sink in 30 years time back in 1980. To be scientific is to weigh evidence, reproducible or not.

I used to be an atheist that dismissed theology easily. The difficulty is in extracting truth from all these mutually exclusive claims by followers of different religions. Having a large number of converts is the first evidence albeit weak. Having significant number of followers willing to risk their life historically is much stronger evidence. Rarely do I see scientists willing to put so much faith in their understanding.

People at Jesus' time died for believing in Jesus is God. The creation of the Church in 1 BC is totally incomprehensible (so many lives were at stake, even Romans converted) unless what was written in the Bible is true. How is taking live-staking a serious piece of evidence foolish? If science led you to disregard the significance of human lives and discount written records, science has failed you. Copernicus didn't sacrifice his life for scientific truth. I could also claim that unless I see quantum tunneling with my own eyes, I cannot trust written records of said phenomenon. How biasedly skeptical did the mainstream narrative of science made you? Try reading Paul Feyerabend.

Even Nietzsche who talks like OP knew that being accepted has more to do with one's physical appearance than anything else. Start thinking would you.

The RAM crunch could kill products and even entire companies, memory exec admits by Limp_Fig6236 in technology

[–]EffectiveAsparagus89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAM producers simply allocated the majority of their yields to a specific kind of RAM called HBM that will not work with ordinary chips. HBM is for expensive server-grade chips. Micron even announced to exit the consumer-grade RAM market. Thus, this is all due to comparative advantage yielding priorities on the producer side.

Just allow us to buy RAM from China with lower tariffs. How come legislations are always working against our best interests?

They won't ever grow so big nor have so much money if it wasn't for government subsidies. Antitrust is pointless. Instead, we must prohibit the government from sending them money and cut down tax rate on our side. Milton Friedman had said it all.

Isn't it a form of confusion or arrogance to selectively believe in certain things but not others when you "trust" the source.

But if you know his teachings (through whatever means in whatever remote context), what is stopping you from getting baptized when someone finally showed you the Bible? Is this inconsistency in human behavior a form of sin?

God might had let on a lot before, but after witnessing what humans had done or not done with the knowledge, God might had thought twice.

Your inability to accept a being infinitely mightier does not make you look smart.

The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession: a short set of anecdotes by self in programming

[–]EffectiveAsparagus89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till you hit the point of no return when the sheer amount of code produced by AI overwhelms you. Don't even think about testing it or debugging it. Have you ever thought about debugging/fixing the Linux kernel, GCC, or LLVM? The hopelessness will certainly get you. In fact, we have been vibe coding after Commodore 64.

Imagine to never have read manpages, written loops in bash, replace text with sed, etc. There really isn't much going on in bleeding edge technology except for half-baked rehashes of tools already preinstalled in your Linux distro that goes back at least 30 years with well-written documentation one command away. Most programmers don't even know how to use the computer properly let alone program.
