Why is the answer to completely upend the education system rather than the original issue of your ex-gf working for a shitty company that couldn’t accommodate her?
The ADA became a thing in the US for a reason after all.
Regular schools are already a forced experience. You're basically imprisoned for 12 years. A range of tutoring services seems like a massive upgrade in freedom.
No, public schooling is something that lifts people out of poverty. 100 years ago public schooling only want to 6th or 8th grade in most states.
Equating government welfare programs to better society with for profit systems is frankly disgusting. One has provided real empowerment and nearly erased illiteracy rates, the only is simply a system used to extract wealth for a few individuals and not society.
I do not trust any system that has shown to be a degrading experience to raising literacy or teaching others to critically think for themselves.
The book "Why We Fear AI" by Hagen Blix and Ingeborg Glimmer talks about this dynamic. Whether it will lead to a class awakening because previously if you were aligned with the company you were rewarded as well, but now if you align with the company you're advocating to destroy your livelihood.
What rational worker would want to take part in this?
In contributing to open source software at scale I'm teaching apprentices. I expect them to adapt what I've done to their own purposes, and have seen a good amount of that out in the wild, often people who ended up doing something entirely different like building hardware that also contains software.
I don't think LLMs will be able to pick up on what's done by an evolving and growing codebase with previous projects also included. More likely it will draw from older stuff and combine it with other people's more normal stuff and end up with an incoherent mess that won't compile. Not all work is 'come up with the correct answer to the problem, and then everybody uses it forever'.
It can lead to class awakening but I think AI is not sufficient. It would need very large scale climate / ecological disasters where suddenly lot of current middle classes conveniences become available only to top classes.
This is happening parts of the world where hyper scale data centers are being built. Rolling brown outs and diverting potable water from towns, you find these stories both in Ireland and across South America.
We already see it happening in the US too, with the Nashville data centers causing immense medical issues.
We don't need AGI to cause a massive amount of disruption. If leadership of companies want to force use these LLMs, which is what we've been experiencing the last two years, workers will be forced to use them.
It's not like there is an organic bottom up movement on driving this usage. It's always top down mandated by executives with little regard on how it impacts worker's lives.
We've also seen how these tools have made certain jobs worse, not better, like translating:
BABLR -- a parser framework, and agAST, the DOM structure at the heart of our state layer. Come to our Discord if you want to learn more. We're trying to launch in the next day or two here.
On the neovim subreddit one of the core maintainers said that relying on users to lazy load plugins is an extremely poor practice and something that should be done by the author's of said plugins. It is just a matter of how you initialize your plugin/name-of-plugin.lua file.
Don't know if it helps but I recently migrated to vim.pack. With another neovimmer he helped me create a defer function and pack update. The only plugin I initially load is a dashboard while deferring everything else. Brought my startup time to sub 100ms.
I don't understand that argument (and I've heard it several times), see comment below about plugins dependencies. I.e. that argument is OK for isolated cases, not for more complex dependency graph.
It doesn't answer your question about plugin dependencies (although vim.pack lets you handle this), but it might give you more insight on where vim.pack will go in the future.
I followed the work of another neovimmer where he was able to replicate deferring with vim.pack. Brought my startup time down to sub 100ms.
Definitely worth it to me as it's one less "core" plugin to maintain. Having things like telescope or trouble are one thing, it's quite another to rely on a plugin that changes the way neovim interacts with loading.
It was worth it to me because I never relied on many features of lazy.nvim. The benefit of the approach linked in the PR is that it also defer's loading packages as well. The only one I initially load is alpha.nvim (a dashboard), everything else gets deferred. This brought down my startup time from around 300ms to sub 100ms.
I have had zero issues thus far, also don't use too many plugins (like 50ish). It was way easier than expected, also had help from another person making the plugins load similarly to "lazy" as well. This setup is way way way faster than using lazy.nvim IME, especially my work computer where it would take 300 ms to load. Now it's around 80ms.
My bad, updated the links now. Reason for the passion is that I originally found out about neovim on hackernews where someone shared their dotfiles setup that used vim-plug with neovim. It looked simple to transition and I did.
Unless the remedy is that Google's online ads has to be spun out into a separate company away from their control, I don't see how any remedy can be effective.
What can honestly be done to punish them? I mean punish too, certain entities of Google should not exist.
I think one problem people have is payment processing. There really needs to be a federal program to allow people to easily transfer money as payment. There are too many extractive middlemen with rentier economies and ethics.
There's no reason why Congress can make something like what Brazil has with Pix.
Having a public option for payment processing can do a tremendous amount of good.
I believe that this is where someone like Supertab [1] could really pop off. I don’t honestly don’t think having this as a country-specific service would be useful/beneficial. Not affiliated with ST, just have a friend who works there. I’m yet to encounter a website that offers them, though.
