- nahuel0xAs someone who read The Persistence of Vision at almost the same age, I concur, it was transformative.
- Perl was a bad language, line noise. It was better than using bash and awk for complex scripting, and better than using C for CGI pages. But Python and PHP were better and more readable for those use cases, and killed Perl.
- There’s something profound behind that funny observation. God is a creation of the human mind, yet humanity forgets that it created God. The idea then appears as something external, becoming an independent power that shapes and controls human consciousness. Humans become alienated from what they themselves produced.
This was Feuerbach’s insight, and Marx extended it: just as humanity creates God and then treats him as an autonomous force, it also creates Capital. But Capital comes to operate as if it were an external, self-moving—almost “demonic”—power. People end up acting not according to human needs, but according to the logic of Capital itself.
From this perspective, the Marxist project is not merely a struggle against the bourgeoisie; it is an effort to overcome humanity’s alienation from its own creations—to reclaim power from the human-made “demon” that has come to dominate social life.

- Why the need to fork it instead of creating a new extension? (besides marketing)
- Deterministic doesn't necessarily mean that can be understood by an human mind. You can think about a process entirely deterministic but so complex and with so many moving parts (and probably chaotic) that a humble human cannot comprehend.
- You can wire a house in an smart way without relying on Wifi or Internet, using protocols like KNX-LP... maybe also with CAN-bus?
- The problem is capitalism, not automation.
- Because containers were lighter than VM's, made reproducible and modularizable how to build the VM contents, and "solved" Unix/POSIX process isolation / library management design flaws.
- What about using AR glasses like the Viture PRO XR / Luma?
- It's very easy to distinguish a children from a terrorist, children are no terrorists, also, children didn't vote anybody. However, the IDF is killing thousands of children in the most horrible ways.
- Tell that to the Palestinians families whose homes they owned for generations were stolen by Israel and their children are now murdered in the most horrible ways.
- Yes, everyone that criticizes Israel for killing and mutilating thousands of children in the most horrible ways is Hamas, we already know that...
- You forgot to read the "commission of genocide" part.
- Languages/VMs should support capability-based permissions for libraries, no library should be able to open a file or do network requests without explicit granular permissions.
- Also to consider, how the massive datasets powering LLMs were generated? For the case of text, it was generations of humans and humans lives, experiences and interactions with the real world that coagulated into masses of text and the language itself.. not to mention the evolutionary process that made that possible. There is an history of biological computation and interaction behind what it seems to be static data.
- Also the Odroid-H4+ supports IBECC, that means, ECC parity check done by the CPU using normal non-ECC RAM modules. Very suitable for ZFS/TrueNAS.
- This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need for anything to drink.
"Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince.
"Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant. "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week."
"And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?"
"Anything you like..."
"As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
