What's the from?

You say your not good at finding the right words, but these seem pretty good to me ❤️

I'm glad he's back to making regular videos, I find them very relaxing and a bit educational (just make sure to turn on captions, he puts all the explanations there).

I personally think we are going to need to move to a hybrid capitalist situation before we can hope to move past it. It will be very hard for countries to make a switch away, as it will prevent them from really existing in the global market, or force the governments to hold all the cash so they can still partake.

I think the direction some places are taking with basic or universal income is one of the most promising steps away I've heard about recently. It allows for a sort of sudo communism within the bounds of a capitalist society by ensuring all have the same basic access to resources. Obviously there are plenty of caveats with the implementations so far, such as who gets it, how much is it, can it cover basic living, etc. But I think it represents what I'm getting at.

If we can continue to implement meaningful social programs such as free and accessible healthcare, basic incomes, shortened work weeks, minimum wages, etc, etc it is continued progress towards a world where money becomes increasingly meaningless as everyone has what they need and only need to work for the extras.

Just my two cents from someone with absolutely no background in the relevant fields :)

I totally feel you on the self deprication survival instinct. I also struggled with my weight all through school, and being the first one to call myself fat helped deter others since I already made the joke.

Turns out calling yourself fat all the time isn't much better than others doing it though, as I now have quite the complex about eating, exercise, body image, etc.

I've had the same brother laser printer since uni (shit thats like 10 years ago now) and it's never let me down. The only issue is it stops responding over the network sometimes when I Havnt used it in months.

But I bet it sounded right enough to fool most people other than doctors. I feel like people keep forgetting that all these large language models do is really advanced autocomplete. They just string together a bunch of statistically likely tokens (read words, letters, phases) that sound the most right, not actually being the most right.

Don't ban them, that'll just start up a black market for them which way less safe and also makes sure the government doesn't get any portion of the sales to fund healthcare.

I say slowly ramp up the tax on them, incentiving smokers to quit. The higher price would also help prevent future smokers from picking up the habit since they'll be so expensive, for pretty much no gain.

I'm a simple man, I see ITYSL and I upvote

I started listening to Look Mum No Computer after watching some of his tech videos on YT, he does a lot of synth stuff and it opened up a whole new world of music that I've been loving. If anyone has some similar stuff let me know!

I can relate with this so much. My friends joke that my hobby are collecting hobbies for that reason. I get excited about learning something new, practice enough to get passable good at it, realize how much more there is to learn to hit fully proficient, try to work towards it, and end up burning out.

I thinking coding has stuck for me because you don't really just learn programming when you program. You are typically making a tool for another skill or profession which means you end up learning alot about that different skill while building out a project. That I, for me, helps stop the burn out, because each new project comings with learning outside of coding directly.

I like to think about programmers as the modern jack of all trades, but of course I'm biased.

And it's really good, has some fun stories from the early days at Microsoft
