LWN had a couple of articles about it

This isn’t a problem with capitalism, it’s a problem with governments. If we eliminate government entirely (e.g. anarcho-capitcapitalism), there are no regulations, thus no regulatory capture

No, in that case you would just have large existing corporations hiring hit squads to kill potential competitors instead which is obviously much better /s The desire to do what regulatory capture does originates in capitalism, not in government, government just turns it from a violent action into one of bureaucracy.

Even asking for an example on how to use a specific API has failed about 50% of the time, it tends to hallucinate entire parts of the API that don’t exist or even entire libraries that don’t exist.

If they outsource their thinking and coding to an LLM, they might start getting ahead quickly

As a programmer I have yet to see evidence that LLMs can even achieve that. So far everything they product is a mess that needs significant effort to fix before it even does what was originally asked of the LLM unless we are talking about programs that have literally been written already thousands of times (like Hello World or Fibonacci generators,…).

The problems you see in government are the problems caused by capitalism through regulatory capture.

Not to mention that there are plenty of inherent problems with capitalism since it just doesn’t work for products bought e.g. only once or twice in your life or where the quality can otherwise not be judged by the buyer before buying.

Yeah, and that would only get worse if the only controls over currency were applied by those with a lot of currency (proof of stake) or able to afford a lot of computational power (proof of work).

You do make a good point but most of the levers to apply power in that space seem to be essentially controlled by how much computational power/how many nodes you can afford to run to apply control and most of the proponents are not really among the rich. They might, however, be among the ones who think they would be, sort of like the often cited temporarily embarrassed billionaires.

I don’t really see the appeal of currency anarchy in general. Do the proponents of that really think that the power in that space wouldn’t be held by what essentially amounts to digital currency warlords (anyone with a lever to apply power and the matching lack of morals to do so)? Not to mention that some regulation of finances are a good thing, it is not as if every currency intervention by central banks is done for bad reasons.

To be fair it is probably not on purpose. He is just too stupid to make realistic estimates of what will be possible.

Or just cutting down the time they are allowed to spend on researching the issues properly.

Most of the technical problems with learning/teaching are actually caused by sticking to outdated 19th century concepts in schools such as having the (by definition average) local teacher explain things instead of someone who actually knows how to explain the subject matter well and pretending that kids need to memorize everything in a modern world instead of incorporating the ability to look up things into the learning process.

Most of the actual major problems with education are caused by funding structures and deliberate sabotage by parts of society who benefit from an uneducated population without critical thinking and research skills.

While I can see your point I would like to point out that that might excuse problems parents have raising their children but not parents making that everyone else’s problem by insisting the rest of the world is made child-safe somehow.

It would take too long.

Making the bet that is, it would be leaked before you are done setting up the betting system.

The headline said it was right-wing, not a MAGA cultist.

Solar Roadways 2.0?

Plenty of things are more difficult in decentralized systems.

You have to store all kinds of data either in multiple copies/caches or get long delays on certain operations such as search or even just displaying aggregated data (such as a post and its comments from different instances on Lemmy).

You have the problem of different jurisdictions and moderation policies for different instances.

You will have a hard time exporting or deleting all data related to a specific user when required by law (e.g. GDPR).

Seems like it would be the word of the first quarter of the 21st century.

LWN is good for Linux kernel related content.

Turns out there was a job writing content so stupid that even AI could do a better job at it after all.

You still need hardware significantly more complex than would be otherwise needed for a device for which USB 2.0 speeds were already much more than required.
