Young travelers have always found ways to subsidize their trips by selling some of their personal possessions while there. I heard Levi’s were so popular during the Cold War that customs started counting your clothes going in and out of Russia, which still wouldn’t stop someone swapping a worn out pair for new ones.
And American cigarettes were popular in Canada in the 90’s and 00’s. IIRC the Turkish tobacco blended in was banned by the Canadian state dept so theirs were garbage. Meanwhile Americans were flying into Canada in order to fly to Cuba.
I don't think you are also including having AI lie of "hallucinating" to us which is an important point even if the article is only about having AI write code for an organization.
People with large swathes of equity in a company want people with near zero equity to act like they will be getting C-level rich off of their wage/salary if the company's business plan hits.
Founders are not desperate for talent. They are desperate for labor will shoulder vastly unequal labor for vastly underpaid compensation.
Capital always pushes for slaves. Labor can only push for using their smart phone during their bathroom break and not giving a shit about the final product as its success does not offer labor truly valued compensation.
Minimum wage is a thing but maximum wage is not in a civilization run by capital.
I completely agree, this is one of the greatest books on the subject. I highly recommend checking out its Goodreads page [1] for reviews and more context.
It's strange how the standard American History classes pretty much ignore the late 19th century. It was a time of real intellectual flourishing in America. With the notable exception of Benjamin Franklin, it's when American scientists really became globally relevant rather than smart folks who more or less just stayed kept up with European advances. Peano cited Peirce as his inspiration for the logical notation we now use today. And Gibbs[1] was one of the fathers of modern thermodynamics.
While writing this comment I learned that Gibbs shared Peirce's interest in graphical notations. They're interesting to me, because in a lot of ways they feel clunkier than traditional mathematical formulae, but when they work, boy do they ever work well. Feynman diagrams are maybe the most well known example.
I'm pretty sure there are millions waiting to be made with a good AI powered diagrammatic IDE.
