#programming #ai #philosophy Programming is the art of turning fuzzy requirements into hard computer instructions. Translating a poorly defined “want” into code. As higher-level interfaces emerge, increasingly mediated by AI, the job of programmer is still the same, but increasingly philosophical. What is it that you (your manager, your customer) really want? What should happen when things go wrong? What does value mean in this context? These are programming questions in the age of AI. It’s less about syntax, and more about satisfying contextual human desires.

But first… coffee ☕️

Every technological improvement kills jobs. That’s the nature of progress—eliminating tedium. Focusing on job creation mistakes the package for its contents. We don’t want more jobs. We demand more value.

Focusing on “job creation” is asinine. I could create billions of jobs at the stroke of a pen. Just ban washing machines. Now there’s a major shortage of professional clothes washers. Jobs galore! Has it improved quality of life? Who cares?! JOBS!!

I’ve never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Should I watch it? #asknostr

75% of pie charts look like Pac-Man.

#Bitcoin price prediction: crab sideways until next Spring. Rationale: 1. Bitcoin competes for attention in memespace. People’s surplus attention will be wrapped up in politics. 2. Inflation is hurting people’s pocket books. They don’t have surplus money to spend. 3. The Fed pump won’t get going immediately. It’ll take time for lowered rates to prompt reallocations. 4. Recent buyers and traders will be dumping before New Years to lock in their capital losses for 2024. What am I missing?

GM to everyone who sold this last dump… And a special GM to everyone else.

In #programming, the difference between an expert and a novice isn’t that the expert knows what they’re doing. It’s that the expert doesn’t know what they’re doing at a higher level.

Banks can print infinite fiat. Companies can issue more stock. Builders can develop more land. Miners can dig up more metal. But there is one thing nobody can make more of. One globally accessible, fixed supply money that settles in 10 minutes. Just one. It’s only a matter of time before everyone figures this out. #Bitcoin
