Hah most computer folks didn't even have giga anything on their radar that year. I think I had a 300MB hard drive and the question was "what will you do with that much space?!?"
I've been reading Beowulf to my son, and I know he tolerates it rather than really liking it -- I don't like it either but I think it's important. My wife goes "he doesn't like that!" Expecting me to stop and I just go "I know" and keep reading anyway lol
Just like what you said, parents need to be parents and that means doing what's right instead of what's easy.

I think part of the problem is that the kids are being told they have no future, that everything is doomed, that they won't live to have kids and if they do their kids won't live to have kids...
It's all bullshit. Life is harder than it was for the boomers, but history is written by those who show up, and those who show up do have a chance at succeeding.
On the other hand, the first enlightenment happened in part because people stopped meeting in the beer halls and started meeting in the coffee houses. The sober mind is critical to coming up with the next generation of greatness.
We're chemically more sober than ever before, less alcohol than any other generation for example, but we're intellectually intoxicated thanks to a finely tuned machine intended to be spiritual soma.

The thing that's the most surprising about them is how unsurprising they are.
Not because nothing was happening, but because every single goddamned thing we thought they were doing, they were doing. It's the banality of evil, violations of basic human rights on a massive level and it's just the day to day grind.

If people don't learn to recognize and utilize the talents that mean they'll always surpass an AI in certain ways, they'll eventually find themselves obsolete. Ultimately the person they'd be cheating is themselves.
I don't want Orwellian "trust and safety" on my fediverse.

Having used SAP, they might want to use this letter on some of their current employees.
I wonder how many times execs admit in private comms that they're working for ponzi scheme companies that can't possibly deliver any of elons promises?
Imagine all the things produced. How many are just replacements for things we already have? How many of the things we build could be built better and basically last a lifetime?
One of the big dumb fights I always see is "why even have swap if I have enough memory?" Which is responded with "but what if you run out of memory?" Which is responded to with "but what if I have more than enough?" Which is responded to with "but you might run out of memory"

I don't know if I've read that article before, I but I like it and tend to agree with it.
One thing I've thought about a lot is that the rise of the enlightenment also came about because of an increase in sobriety. Discourse was moving out of the bars and into the coffee houses and that represented a step change in the character of thought.
I think the numbers show we're in an age of unprecedented chemical sobriety. People are struggling to make ends meet so getting drunk or high every day just isn't an option for many people. However; if you look at television and our current social media as intellectual intoxicants, we're still hammered all day every day. Establishment media is designed specifically to fog your vision and your thoughts and makes you surly because it makes them money and gives them power.
The independent media isn't always perfect, there's lots of noise to the signal, but the signal is there and it isn't there if you're only talking to the establishment.

Cirrus Logic would have been a halfway decent budgetish 2d chip for the era. I had a bunch of cards with that brand of chip.
I think it maxxed out around 2MB of vram.

His last album hardly sold any copies, I figure he's doing everything in his power to try to get some relevance back.
Selling you the idea of environmentalism instead of actually doing something good for the environment. And we fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
And before you ask, yes it does come with the attractive woman. That's why nobody ever got fired for going with IBM.
The stagflationary depression was already coming. This just gives them an excuse other than "We shut down the planet for 2 years and thought pieces of paper could stop the consequences"
