Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong.
Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names".
For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy.
In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system".
But they're not. They can't be the justice system.
The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve.
Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you?
No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system.
The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe.
If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse.
In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite.
Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat.
We all understand this.
We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act.
Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to.
We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again.
And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again.
The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you.
Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute.
It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.
every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).
that’s neuroplasticity in real time.
You do not have unlimited time.
Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue on without you.
One trend that will likely return in tech, thanks to AI:
Increasingly only possible to be hired as a new grad with a CS or similar degree.
AI agents render writing code less relevant: but eveything else about building software (aka software engineering fundamentals) more!
We're living in this era of software development where developers don't write code anymore but you still need to know how to code to check what the AI is doing
So beginners can't practice enough to know what's the quality of the AI code
The entry point is broken?
@MB_Hogan I noticed you used $7B ARR x 7x for the $49B EV, but the Q3 earnings guidance of $7B-$9B seems to be an annualized run rate (projected revenue for the last month of 2026 x 12), not ARR. Would this make any difference to your calculations? Thanks! 🙏
@adamkhootrader Unfortunately, Burry's short on Nvidia and Palantir was followed by SoftBank's sale of NVDA shares, lending credibility to his thesis that GPU depreciation and AI capex are in question.
@therealdanvega Spring AI makes it easy to implement AI features like RAG, but how does this compare to the more mature Python ecosystem? Are Java devs currently still more limited in what we can do?
@GergelyOrosz Would it be the case that such bootcamps are still relevant, but the bar is higher now? Instead of just teaching full stack software development, it should also cover AI engineering skills. The AI engineer (who is also a software engineer) would be more in demand.
