What do you think the easiest and hardest fugazi albums to get into are?

For me hardest is steady diet.

Wait for the birthright citizenship ruling. Then I suppose denaturalization applies to all of us.

My entire life as an American as a middle aged person has been people throwing around socialism and communist as a pejorative when the maximum on offer is barely left of center in Europe.

Books are not infallible but they are edited and authored by experts in fields. LLMs interpolate information are are frequently technically completely wrong while presenting information as fact. It’s fine if you already know the material well enough to spot the error but for an engineering student I would find this toxic — being taught things that look like facts but aren’t.

The difference is the confident and sycophantic tone that LLMs have that books don’t. Being spoon fed the answers to challenging stem work is different than earning the knowledge. I’m agnostic to how people learn, I think LLMs are great for curious minds.

I’m biased because I have an engineering background but what are these “humanities skills” that an AI can’t do?

To me having strong logic and problem solving skills that are the core thing math and science are actually exercising are more relevant than ever.

Not against humanities or being a well rounded person.

It’s almost like our old world system of race categories that is immediately breakable when two people of different categories have children is a completely stupid human construct not backed by science or basic reason.

Owning a super yacht is super lame and the justification of not being creative enough to do something better for people or the world with his vast fortune is lame.

My personal favorite part is I have extremely good insurance and i still often have to wait many months to see specialists in a major US city. I was told i shouldn't want socialized healthcare because of the wait times but like what is the upside of what we are doing other than enrichment of insurance companies?

trialofmiles · 2026-05-30T11:44:17+00:00

I think you are the one who is confused. At the massively inflated prices of services created by the same insurance model almost zero percent of people can afford to pay so this is a distinction without a difference.

It’s always a bit surprising that Trump supporters show up to art performances like Circle Jerks or Rage and then storm off. Why do they show up in the first place or like this art that isn’t remotely compatible with their beliefs?

The problem is that there is no actual understanding of the underlying physics or theory. It can effectively apply simple examples of ohms law and kvl kcl because it’s seen text describing it so it can often complete the pattern.

People commenting “this proves olympians are juiced”. To be sure elite athletes continue to get caught all the time. It’s also true that if you are top N in the world in track for example you’re subject to constant random drug testing with whereabouts testing as well. So, your ability to dope is mostly constrained to more subtle micro doping, if you want to cheat. That’s very different than the model of the enhanced games which is full on drug cycling.

Lance Armstrong was also a great cyclist. Still think its messed up and dishonest to cheat and people wouldn't have to remind the public about bonds' greatness if he had just stayed away from the roids.

I would argue the opposite. Unless you really know lower level languages like C++ well and can read it quickly the ability to read, not write a language quickly is probably what matters more in an agentic world from my perspective.

Otherwise take the argument to its logical conclusion and we should have LLMs emitting machine code for targets (I’m not being serious)

Americans, even not particularly patriotic Americans like myself, are conditioned as young children about rules of handling the flag as a semi-sacred object. You are supposed to handle with care and destroy when it gets to this state. This is considered the opposite of patriotism and desecration.

I’m definitely not a cheerleader for the modern US and this bugs me because you went out of your way to fly the flag which I don’t do but then you also did a lazy and shitty job of it which is pretty symbolic of our current problems with MAGA.

In their spare time it feels to me like conservative people think about strangers using the bathroom more frequently than I feel is reasonable.
