[LIVE]: Mix Remix with hairylarry
In memory of Pharoah Sanders (1940-2022)
In which I step outside my usual track and talk about Computers and “AI” for a bit. This is, if anything, a propos of the misguided efforts to tame inflation by depressing wages, when labour productivity has grown much more rapidly than wages since the 1970s, with the result that direct labour costs are a less proportion of the cost of providing goods and services than they ever have been. Also something about a video game and what it implies for our efforts towards space settlement. Maybe next week we’ll have a Double Asteroid Redirect Test or SLS launch to talk about.

I couldn’t find the “Hess Is More – Yes Boss (Tensnake Remix)” online, so no link there. I’m not sure how I acquired that song. If you have an official online source for it, please provide the link and I’ll update this page.
More poetry! “If it can’t be grown, it has to be mined” ― but we live in the era of bioengineering, so maybe it can be grown. (In which context, I refer to a cartoon.) Buying a ticket to Mars with frequent–flyer miles proves impossible, and I express doubts about the ability of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to do anything even slightly outside their established competency. Also a letter to the editor of the Coffey County (Kansas) Republican.
