this could be one of those bell curve memes where the low end and high end are the moron/jedi guys saying “just print more money” and the middle of curve has a freshman Econ student trying to explain macroeconomics.
The “innovation” in the article is passive tech for fiber to the room (FTTR), specifically made to be low cost and easier to implement. It’s also how your computer might get that 50Gbit - it’ll have to be wired in with a fiber connection. It’s not happening over WiFi (or even Ethernet)
Neat. AI slop about AI slop.
I think “good” and “bad” are hard terms to apply to people objectively, but I do believe that most people value social coherence and are willing to do (the minimum amount of) something to maintain it. If you can’t believe at least that it means that all of those thin blue line people are right, and I’m just not willing to believe that’s true.
That our benevolent alien overlords are gonna show up aaaaaany minute now…
Kinda funny how when mega corps can benefit from the millions upon millions of developer hours that they’re not paying for they’re all for open source. But when the mega corps have to ante up (with massive hardware purchases out of reach of any of said developers) they’re suddenly less excited about sharing their work.
No need to limit it to only people on social media…
Could even be his twin - that joke is from 2007, if little Bobby was in kindergarten then he’d be around 22 by now and could be trying to land his first job out of college!
😂
How else would you cosplay as neopolitan ice cream?
Why does Ross, who is the largest friend, simply not eat the other friends?
Wordpress has an ActivityPub plugin to federate your content with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, and others, and will push their comments back to you.
I was asking rhetorically since the graph makes it pretty obvious, but actually re-reading this article it’s a bit more complex than I recalled. There was basically some legislation in the mid 1970s that made them possible, the model grew through the 80s, but by the late 80s low-rent HMOs had taken over, and a crippling combo of regulation (to create new barriers to entry) and deregulation (for the existing guys) basically cemented the for-profit HMO/PPO providers that we all know and love (haha) by the 1990s. Had we held out for another decade we probably would have seen socialized medicine by the Clinton-era, but instead we got this graph, where we pay more and get less than everyone else, and half the country thinks it’s a great idea.
Can you guess when HMOs became a thing (and Blue Cross converted from not-for-profit to for-profit)?
Yeah in that context I guess it makes sense.
I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What’s the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it’s like what the Internet was invented for.
Yeah, the company that made the article is plugging their own AI-detection service, which I’m sure needs a couple of paragraphs to be at all accurate. For something in the range of just a sentence or two it’s usually not going to be possible to detect an LLM.
I think he’s pragmatic in the “whatever tool gets the job done” sense, but not in the “this is the job we should be doing” sense — if that makes any sense :)
The world is run by middle-of-the-curve people.
