  • Dude, people are still asking wtf functors, monoidd, monads, and other such things are and there are papers written about those things all the time. Why is it so hard to accept that not everybody can stay awake while reading a scientific article? Are you just unwilling to accept that videos are easier to consume?

    Some people cannot understand what such scientific articles are saying because of how they were written and for which audience. Are you unaware that visual aids and animations exist? Do you think describing something is always better than showing it? There is a reason the expression “a picture can say more than a thousand words”.

    Yes, there are some videos that are just somebody reading an article to you with no added content, but I feel like this argument is brought jp regardless of video. Providing a DOI:// link just makes me shake my head.













  • How well AI can trade crypto and, if possible other things. Right now it’s just in the exploration phase to understand what’s necessary, which language to use, what hardware is necessary, previous art, and so on.

    I’d like to put a part of my salary into green, European investments and haven’t found any ETFs that do so. There must be something out there but it’s being made hard to find and I’m not going to spend the little time I have investigating every single green european company to find out how to invest in them.

  • The US and the West at large just thought China would stay that nice exploitable country for cheap labor forever. Their plans never adjusted to either find an alternative or move back production.

    Capitalists praise “the power of the market” for being agile and whatnot, but companies (and many Western countries are being run by companies) target costs optimisation at all costs. They are like AIs with a bias for it and hyper-specialise for it. The only moves companies have are “buy the competitor” and for countries it’s just protectionism until war.

    This isn’t praise for China throwing the majority of their citizens into the machine as cheap labor for Western companies, more a critique of the West’s tunnel vision. We will reap what we sowed.
