It’s a problem of motivation. Now, if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime. So where's the motivation? And here's another thing, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now!

You can take it up with your manager that you saved 10 minutes of time per day for 2000 workers, equivalent to 8333 work hours per year, equivalent to $2M USD per year, and argue that this value you bring should be reflected in your salary. You can also add it to your CV, to make you more attractive to other employers. Ultimately, you will have to make an effort to convince others of your value if you want a higher salary.

Defense spending is social spending just unequally distributed.

Reagan campaigned against Carter’s profligate spending.

It really is like our body politic is still mentally stuck in 1980. It's crazy. Republicans still campaign on "balancing the budget" while demonstrably being responsible for all the major explosions of debt we have experienced in our lifetime.

The whole thing is absurd.

And then blew up the deficit and started our massive accumulation of debt. A pattern gleefully followed by every single Republican administration since. Every single Democratic administration since has reduced the deficit the "spend and give tax breaks" Republicans have run up. But it's a losing battle clearly.

Carter reduced the deficit as well until the recession hit in 1979 and tax revenues decreased.

And then proceeded to blow up the deficit even more himself. What they campaign on and what they actually do are different things.

c is a really big number. c2 is a really really big number. E is small.

m is really really small.

+0 vs +1 boils down to dropping kids off vs shopping.

If you listen to the taped Feynman lectures, yes Feynman did write them. The published versions were edited from transcripts.

Be forewarned. There's a new YouTube channel with an AI Feynman delivering slop.

This was really frustrating me. YT started recommending this channel and I could recognize the voice as an AI impersonation but had no way to know if it was at least reading something really written by Feynman. Eventually I concluded it wasn't, but there wasn't clear criteria under which I could report the channel. I'm not sure it's even against YT's TOS.

I saw this and what makes this particularly pernicious that you assume it was a fan applying ai voice to his authentic words, but you don't know.

There is also an ai slop channel featuring Leonard Susskind.
