Since about the 1500s we use double booking in bookkeeping, meaning the accounts look like that so that the balance sheet can balance and show 0 missing money. In most audits you don’t “summarise” error accounts, you check the balance accounts, statements and you check for why there’s stuff lying in the transaction accounts.

You should probably have stayed on a couple more days of your accounting class.

It doesn’t reason, and it doesn’t actually know any information.

What it excels at is giving plausible sounding averages of texts, and if you think about how little the average person knows you should be abhorred.

Also, where people typically can reason enough to make the answer internally consistent or even relevant within a domain, LLMs offer a polished version of the disjointed amalgamation of all the platitudes or otherwise commonly repeated phrases in the training data.

Basically, you can’t trust the information to be right, insightful or even unpoisoned, while sabotaging your strategies and systems to sift information from noise.

EtA: All for the low low cost of personal computing, power scarcity and drought.

That’s one way to escape Epstein’s island.

Lol, you know this is an example of abuser language?

It’s entirely reasonable to expect someone to hold themselves accountable to sort their own shit (and/or ask for help) while respecting the people around them.

Toddlers get away with having tantrums because they aren’t matured yet. We expect better from about the age of 7…

Delayed due to ICE and/or protests, or maybe they’re out trying to drum up a bribe inb4 being sued by the satsuma in charge.

It’s 212 % of the hot, how else can there be more hot than all the hot? It’s gotta be all the hot from at least the next couple of rooms, might be everywhere, depends on how much hot is hogged by the oven I’d wager.

ITT: Water requires over double of all the hot just to boil.

It’s not so much that they can’t meme, it’s that they have only one joke: “Look how I can make this person fear me”.

General strike, demonstrations where they can’t be ignored, organised resistance, organised campaigning, even striking in solidarity with others.

Oh. You’re all struggling too much to be able to do that?

That’s you being oppressed, and you could organise against that: you could organise war chests for striking, unionise to regain rights, vote or campaign for actual peoples representation rather than corporate such, build resilient communities, picket biased media, organise or join collective action, prosecute and pressure corrupt politicians, counter lobbies, educating yourself and others, etc.

Gather neighbours, save funds, support eachother, resist where you can and coordinate with others to have a greater impact.

But most aren’t going to, cus there’s always someone else to blame, someone else that should save the day. And while you’re passing blame, the fascists consolidate, divide and terrorise, both your domestic neighbours and international friends. Leaving you more vulnerable, more isolated, and with less and less support to resist or survive.

Thank you!

Having read it, there is no study. It’s a prediction of undisclosed methodology, and it’s unknown and obfuscated where their number of 6,1 % comes from.

I’d assume the whole report is an educated (futurism) guess, and I don’t have the track record of how good Forrester is at those.

The full report is a $1500 product, so I’m afraid I won’t be reading it.

That said, Forrester’s research does predict that AI and other automation tech, like physical robots, will see a hefty six percent of jobs replaced by 2030, amounting to some 10.4 million roles.

It’s unclear from context who Forrester is or what they studied. But I’d be interested to learn if this supports that AI output replaces the 6 %, or if the economy will contract 6 %.

My cynical guess would be that the study is more based on current employment trends, rather than actual economic viability. Meaning the 6% will be the 2030 size of the bubble of tech bros still trying to find a product-market fit at the expense of VC money.

If anyone manages to figure out what that study is, I’d welcome a link or doi.

Although the 12 hours aren’t divided in day/night are they?

And depending on where/when you’re at, it can easily be light out at seven and seven, even in the same day.

What the 12 hour clock does well is to track when the sun goes up or down relative to the only convenient time marker: midday. It also does so in a pleasingly symmetrical way: it gets light and dark at about 8, rather than 4 hours before and 8 hours after midday.

I’d argue if you want to track time, rather than record the ends of daylight, a linear scale for the whole day makes more sense. If it should be reset daily or not, be divisible by 24, 86400, 100, 1000000, a second or whatever is mostly a choice of convention. If you have constant access to a clock, Internet time seems convenient, for humans without clocks we use daylight and units like hours and 5-minute increments.

For that the 24 hour clock seems simple and convenient, although it would be nice to be able to calibrate without a watch (is it two or three hours before midday? How many more hours until wake-up time?). 24 hour time isn’t perfect, but it’s much better adapted to modern life than the 12 hour clock.
