Honestly, you don’t have to create a kill switch. Most stuff will fall apart due to dependency on manual intervention. Usually because there isn’t enough staff to automate it. Tech debt comes for everyone.

Hope the info sec guy got some hazard bonus. Doubt he/she would ask for it though.

I can think of a couple. P diddy is coming to mind today… allegedly.

I just don’t like soap operas, whatever the form. My kid does though.

Yeah, I don’t consider any moral stance to be “litterally right”. They seem like opposites to me. And clearly philosophy is by definition is a personal view point. Thanks for the history and such. Your comment adds a lot of value to the discussion, which is great to see.

I will agree with you on B and C. Not so much on A. Not saying A isn’t true, just that it isn’t as simple as most people think. And probably is impossible to prove due to all the unknown side effects. An example of a side effect not related to veganism is the effect monocrop farming has on bees. Noone saw that coming until it happened. So changes to what is planted and such to support veganism could turn out to be less sustainable for reasons we can’t fathom. Similar on the “better for the planet”. We can’t really know that. So I wouldn’t put that under “litterally” right. Just probably right. In general I think diversity is better than one thing or the other. In the US the balance is way over toward the animal side. Shifting toward less of that would for sure be good. But going all the way to no animal products will probably have it’s own issues on things.

I just want to ask for more details on the “they’re litterally right” part. Mostly cause I didn’t think the had an official organized statement to be right about. But I don’t really follow them, so maybe I’m missing something.

Yeah, it isn’t a new thing. It’s just that the pundits think there are people in dark caves writing code all day with zero human contact. Hasn’t been like that for a long time. Coding is the easy part of the job now for the vast majority if competent coders. Figuring out how to balance what the users want, and what the prod7ct manager tells you to do is the really hard part.

It’s dead, not eradicated. It’s just not what people spend all day doing like they used tp.

They aren’t wrong, just late. Coding is already dead. Most coders I know spend very little time writing new code. Meeting/discussions about requirements, debugging, fighting with pipelines or tests. I once read that a good programmer writes 10 to 100 lines of fully functional, tested, working, and meeting the actual need code a day. I believe it.

Financially sure. But strategically I would think the gov would pay for it like they are with chip making fans.

Or we could go further and just simulate the battles so even the land is safe from war.

It does seem odd that we aren’t making more drones. Given how big a roll they are playing, it seems like we wouldn’t want China to have access to so many more than we do.

Yeah, that why I mean government scale. Send a million of them. If Ukraine can send them in the hundreds, the defenses will be overwhelmed. But they do need to be able to autonomously avoid humans in my opinion. Targeting is probably the hardest part right now.

I mean like on a government scale. Make them like ammunition, so they can be used to overwhelm the defenses

Why aren’t we just sending them millions of small drones instead of all the bigger stuff?

I actually have one and tried. But it is too hard to type while walking.

Been going for years. I have exercises I do… but they say it could take more than a year for the soft tissue to correct itself this way.

Yeah, I have the mat. And walking is fine. I can walk pretty far with no issues. Standing still is painful though. And I know it is weak core muscles. But the exercises to strengthen them cause the si joints to hurt 24/7. My pt struggled to find stuff to help. And I do those, but they just don’t seem to be enough. As for working up to longer and longer standing times, I have adhd, and such things are near impossible, I’ve tried. So I need more like physical reminders that can’t be ignored. Like belt… could put spikey stuff on it so when I slide forward I will feel it and be inclined to slide back. That is where I was going with this.

Yes, this. The assumption of certain death outside during threadfall, and the supposed inate fear humans have of Thread just doesn’t work. If only a few Thread get through for the ground crews, you could just run away. It falls slow enough. For books, you can get away with that. But film would need to rework Thread significantly.
