Zero Edge Modern programmers = Make super complex applications with millions of lines of code. Still use a trash IDE that forces them to use "print" to debug...

Zero Edge Dont be clever in your coding. The only benchmark that matters is does it work and how long does it take for a person to understand it.

🏒 Lucian Marin My benchmark is to understand the code if I come back to change it later.

Zero Edge You want crypto to be a thing? Go after businesses like Buttcoin did in the early days before rebranding to a "store if value". Businesses would love to accept a currency that doesn't take 3% of every transaction and isn't susceptible to friendly fraud. Now all you have to do is make deals with pos cc terminal, make a cc, and gain real world adoption. Might be too hard for the moon boys and vaporware salesmen to do considering it involves real work.

Zero Edge Wage gains mean nothing if the landlords extract all gains anytime the lower class gets raises. I also love how they completely price fix the market with those websites that tell you what to charge essentially ensuring that supply and demand doesn't dictate price. Even if you drastically increased supply. Large entities would buy the majority of the new inventory and further fix the prices. So much nobility in these "jobs" that's why we call them "lords".

Zero Edge Modern company evolution = 1. geeks making things for geeks. 2. product becomes popular. 3. geeks making things for the masses. 4. mba's making things for the masses. 5. mbas sucking the company dry while pretending to be geeks.

Zero Edge For a while now whenever I do a project around the house I try to think of if I could envision a humanoid robot performing this task. A lot of times the answer is no. The human body has trillions of "sensors" such as nerves etc, that help us perform tasks. Robots of today have very few in comparison. You would think a robot that is at "95%" is good but the reality is that last 5% is going to be much much harder to achieve than the 95% before it. I think we are a long long away from a truly functional humanoid robot the way we see in movies. I think for most use cases a specialized robot is better than a humanoid robot.

🏒 Lucian Marin Do we really need them? Even if we get humanoid robots, who will repair them? Will they repair themselves? What will be the cost? Will they be more cost effective than a human to eats and sleeps? Will they be able to communicate and create together like humans do?

Zero Edge If you stared straight at a total eclipse with no protection you might burn the retina of your eyes. The burn would not be the same kind of burn you would receive from staring straight at the sun (which would be a filled circle) but instead would be a thin outline of a circle. I wonder if a person with this type of burn would have differing psychological traits than others. I wonder if they would be able to visually focus on things better than others considering they have a boundary circle permanently within their vision. I wonder if it changed the culture of peoples of ancient times if they happened stare at a total eclipse...

🏒 Lucian Marin I stared multiple times at the sun. I don't think the burn is permanent.

Zero Edge The elites want you to be stupid. To not understand how anything works so they can easily point a finger and say "they are the source of your problems". Economics hardly being taught is not an accident. The price of everything is dictated by supply and demand. That includes how much you are paid, the price of gas, the price of goods, how much you pay in rent, etc.. Import thousands of people into an area and guess what happens? Your rent goes up and your wages go down. More demand for housing and less demand for workers. Tired of the brain dead idiots who are absent in logic but overflowing with empathy. Grow up.

Zero Edge I've never liked the whole "monkeys on a typewriter" thing because technically it isn't true. An infinite amount of monkeys given an infinite amount of time would never write Shakespeare because no matter what, a monkey cannot type in perfect randomness, meaning no matter how many or how long it would never type Shakespeare. If you made a device and trained a monkey to type perfectly random.. yeah, sure.

Zero Edge I have never met a manipulator that wasn't friendly or nice. Ever. They are always so nice, have the most heartfelt and emotional stories, and so personable. I trust jerks way more. They aren't trying to get you to like them. They aren't trying to butter you up or tell you what you want to hear. They are real. Fake people are the worst. Your existence is to serve them and their will. They don't care about you, they are about taking as much from you as they can. Manipulators and liars are cut from the same cloth. Distance yourself from their mind games. Reminds me of Proverbs 26:28.
