If "AI" is the poor man's (unhygienic) macro system, then a lot of such token software builders are going to viscerally know what it is to plumb the darketst depths of the "Lisp Curse".

Insightful!

(Because HN does not have only-positive affirmation-emojis.)

English: "I am"

LinkedIn Speak: "I’m thrilled to share that I am"

English: "I am."

Oh Kagi I want to kiss your face.

> ... in experiments in which all outer sensation is withdrawn, the subject begins a furious fill-in or completion of senses that is sheer hallucination. So the hotting-up of one sense tends to effect hypnosis, and the cooling of all senses tends to result in hallucination.

Must quote the last paragraph of Chapter 2: "Hot and Cold media", from Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media, which I've double-underlined.

For it simultaneously explains to me; TikTok (quick consume-scroll-like-react-"create" dopamine hit cycles) and LLMs (outsourcing the essential mechanical friction of thinking (which requires all senses, for me at least))...

The essential friction of deliberate, first-party speech-making---misspellings and all---is why voice and conversation contains life.

Well... companies who are laying off people on account of AI are telling markets that their chief value is NOT "innovation", it has been drudgery automation.

A company that prizes actually making customer lives better (i.e. "innovation") will salivate at the prospect of having ten of ten people, each using the Drudgery Automator, being creative using all that drugery-free time to actually touch grass with their customers and ship overnight value (i.e. actually, progressively, make things better for customers) and then improve it at a pace that blows minds (i.e. actually happy customers).

An company who's business is in fact about drudgery automation will kneecap itself by letting go nine of the ten.

Long/Short stocks accordingly.

Speaking as another inverse genius, at your own peril.

In my second go around I scored 11/18. Genius learn fast.

I got 3/18 first try

Man I love the series.

Looks like this multispecies universe has centrally-agreed-upon path addressing system.

You should check out Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon The Deep for more fun examples of how intra-galactic communication would be labeled, with routes & such.

In fact, it is right here in my stack of to-reads! Picking it up now due to your recommendation. Cheers!

From this book in particular, I love the scene with everyone sitting around talking about how horrifying the concept of cheese is. The rest of the quartet is wonderful, with the second book (A Closed and Common Orbit) being the MVP IMO.

Before replying, I waited for a moment to re-read those couple of pages once more. Cracked up again... Oh the utter incomprehension. And I can relate to the bit about eating the enzyme so that one can eat the cheese without getting sick. Cheese is horrifyingly great.

Same! I was about to go duck-searching for meaning, but thanks to jezzamon for pointing it out.

brb, printing a t-shirt that says "continvoucly morged"

You could add one of those Microslop memes that are going around.

Oldest trick in the book... Shoot the vendor.
