Does anyone else feel like technology is not really developing as fast as it should be?

well, if you take out the SSP thing, it is still possible that Big Oil has kept technology like water fueled cars and efficient solar penels, or other alternatives to fossil fuels suppresed, to keep their power.

What Jeff Bezos has made in his whole life, they make in a week, they have the power and only an imbecile would think they wouldn't fight to not lose it.

I want my A.I waifubot too, user.

>tfw remember that going to the moon was only possible due to the rocket designed by literal Nazi Werner von Braun
and now it’s all lostech as we spiral dickless into the niggery abyss

what would you use it for?

I agree. But other than gathering books. How will you use it? I don't know how to get reliable technical knowledge that I can learn, for example.

The problem is that nobody knows what to look for. How positively using the power of the internet, looks like.

If only we could have built Skynet before the fall
I have faith that it would have made better decisions than we do at this point

yeah, because of trump's trade wars

Skynet does exist user

This, and the small startups that would push technology forward are nearly 100% White men, but the funding goes to niggers and cumdumpsters, and Big Tech, with its deep pockets, is too busy pandering to these subhumans, so everything has stagnated in the last 10 years or so. Any tech that comes out now is either a tiny iteration in performance and/or a literal cancer, like 5G.

You misunderstand science. It develops as a function of time and interest, not as a function of money... We are pouring trillions of dollars into the research and development of what exactly? All the money goes into Financials, Financials Analytics, Analytics, Data Processing, Big Data, buzzword town, not science. Money spent on the real shit does not have a return in the business sense. We spent pennies on the ISS and it has paid itself off a million-fold, not to the people who made the station, but to humanity - this is what you call a losing proposition for business. The money is in Amazon, it is in shipping and packaging, it is in products that idiots will actually buy and use,
not in things that will change the world... Facebook makes several cents every time you or your zoomer autist cousin or your boomer idiot parent logs in, you are a commodity

I've always thought it's weird how slow robotics is. How hard can it be, given the funding they have and time they've been working on it, to just make a robot that can walk like a human?

holy shit

What do you mean, what else are you expecting?

Technology has never developed this fast before, but we are beginning to see that it is not developing in the way we had hoped. It is like when the faster computer comes out, does everything run faster? No, because someone decides to write their programs using the most brain-dead stupid method and it eats up all your gains, and then Micro$oft slaps 2000 TB of spying on you into the code to make sure it's slow as possible.

>Does anyone else feel like technology is not really developing as fast as it should be?
One of the big reasons for this, in my field [comp. sci.] is because of absolutely shitty foundations selected for the implementation of well-used, foundational elements.

e.g. C, C++, JavaScript — trying to build on these is like trying to build your house on a foundation of oatmeal. There's a page titled "A Fractal of Bad Design" which is a rant against PHP, which you can view as a sort of extremist/absurdist over-the-top thrust of a lot of the defiencies of these languages.

>What alternatives?

For anything you would use C++ for, and virtually everything you would use C for, use Ada instead.

For the very low-level, or embedded, use Ada if you can, Forth if you can't.

Web-browesers don't really allow pluggable scripting languages, or any alternative to JavaScript (at the moment), but if they did... Lisp would be a good choice.

Technology is progressing, just not the kind you're wanting.
Medicine continues to get better and computer continue to get faster.
Companies like Boston Dynamics are working on robots for various tasks, and they're getting really fucking good.
Google has a technological stranglehold on the entire internet, which is amazing when you think about the infrastructure it requires to do that.
We live in a time right now were the breakthroughs in tech are a part of the buildup to the next big things.
You don't know jack shit about the development process that went into inventing the components of your wi-fi router, but you sure know about the internet.

In 20 years, when we're all fucked to shit and there's nothing worth fighting for anymore, take comfort in the fact that some Japanese company will be selling custom AI waifubots.

How much better informed about the world are you than your boomer parents were at your age? If something breaks, can you find information on how to fix it? Newton said that if he could see further than others, it was only because he could stand on the shoulders of the giants who had come before. Their internet allows you to stand on the shoulders of anyone in the word.
but let’s look at cartoon feet instead

I would say anime girl feet porn is a driving factor of innovation.

how is it not? im confused

I think if ML spawned a successful imperative counterpart things would be much better. Syntax would be pretty and types would be statically inferred instead of monstrosities like JavaScript's type system. I'm working on a compiler for this ideal language right now. I'll decide if it was worth it after I self-host it and therefore fully experience it.

In the early part of the 20th century enormous advancements in technology made entire industries obsolete basically overnight. During the middle part of the century the Jews consolidated power post-WWII (and subsequently gained stakes in nearly every industry on earth) and suddenly it was no longer financially advantageous to allow new technologies to kill whole industries. Consequently whenever new technologies are developed that could threaten an existing industry (((they))) buy the patent, bankrupt/kill whoever invented it, and bury it in a vault.

And that's why technological development across all major sectors has stagnated, and will exist in a state of stagnation, as long as (((they))) have power.

there's no reason whatsoever to do shit because nothing means anything

>If something breaks, can you find information on how to fix it?
Probably not, most products are designed to not be serviceable by the user.

I always thought Skynet was more of a burn it up and start over kind of AI, this is more like the AI from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream who is torturing us in the most prolonged and gruesomely depraved way that can be imagined by a malevolent hypercomputer with an IQ of over one billion, which it turns out is to let us keep doing what we’re doing right now.

>use ada instead
>no reasons given
Congrats on finishing your first year of Computer Science at a leftist indoctrination center, but you should definitely switch majors. There are no jobs in tech anymore. Nearly all of what you see posted on the Internet are fake jobs with bullshit requirements written so the company can get more H1B poo niggers to write more appallingly shitty code.

I don't only look at cartoon feet. I'm actually on a porn break and doing no fap. The porn, if I can, I want to quit entirely.

I've been trying to get better sources of information. You might think it's smart or sad, but this is one of the places I think I can get interesting ideas from. Actually finding you rn makes it not that stupid an idea.

But other than SIG threads and author recommendations. Or some videos on the internet like Yuri Bezmenov's to give an example. What else can you do, or do you know better sources of information?

That's my point. I know I'm holding the greatest tool given to man, and I don't know what to do with it. I don't know where the gold is.

And I want to find a way to apply all that knowledge, because it good waking up in the information area, but it also needs application. I need empowring knowledge that allows me to do stuff.

Technology stopped advancing because the tech industry loves hiring cheap labor in the form of inexperienced women looking for easy jobs and streetshitters on worker visas. Combine that with an aggressive consumer marked that is satisfied with mediocrity and you get the same spyware ridden software and smartphones repackaged annually with minor changes for "innovation."
If anything anime porn is one of the only driving forces around, because of the strong need to fuck anime pussy. Necessity is the mother of invention.

you might be surprised how much can be fixed with some tape and contact cleaner once you figure out how to get something apart.

Either there's a soul and a path of evolution for souls, and you being incarnated in this server means you can contribute to the misery in it or make it a better place.

Or, you will die and that will be the end of it, which means you can try to fight to make it a better place for future consciousnesses to be born here and get to experience something else than a dystopia.

It only feels that way because technology from a personal perspective happens in burst even though it is linear and consistent.

While your smart phone may improve it takes a while before there is another invention that makes sense. Robots will be the next break though and will start to become a thing in the 2020s though they will be super primitive.

Then the 2020s will all be about robots improving to suck less.

Anime porn is keeping a lot of men being basement dwellers who drain themselves of their energy and wits eerytime they cum.

What kind of stuff do you want to do? It seems like you're not even sure about that.

Well... yeah you're right. Idk. What kind of practical knowledge that you can get through the internet would be useful in real life?

Idk.

i said it here:
what you are saying makes absolutely no sense, this is 2019 not 1919, there's no "making the future a better place", that was the last century, we are no longer the brave makes of tomorrows future through blood and steel and social organization. Mass movements came and go.
We are consumers. Cogs in the machine.
The religious viewpoint doesn't either, you don't believe it, none of us do, we killed god.
You won't find any sort of grander meaning for your life because there's no large narratives anymore, and there aren't any, by design, cause they are dangerous for the system.

What do you have left then? What can you die for? How can you make your life be meaningful, how do you make it not a product you are buying? Not a "lifestyle" you are consuming?

I dunno, hope somebody can figure it out. Kacynzki, Virkenes, Preppers, etc... Is it true off-grid, true disconnection, if you are broadcasting yourself doing it?

It says something drastic when the best source of information is other anons on Jow Forums

SIG threads were born here, you know?

>What kind of practical knowledge that you can get through the internet would be useful in real life?

A lot, you have literally every book written earlier than 100 years ago available legally. And those after that are also out there just require more than 1 query to find.

You can become anything, anything you want. But you don't have any reason to do so. Yes you might get a career on something that you like because of it, you get a job on it, maybe even push the area forward a bit.

But why would you spend your extra free time learning something else instead of indulging in serotonin release via lewd pixels? What is there to save? What is there to perfect? If you perfect it, what will you do with it?

Have you ever seen those /sig/ obsessive guys, go to the gym, write in their journals, read 500 books every year... what do they do? They have self-improvement blogs, they write self-help books. They do absolutely nothing with it. They are larpers of possibility.

Well, then someone needs to be the person that wakes the rest up.

There's two options. Sit down and do nothing. Or fight till you're dead. Or rather than fight, which means opposing a force, Create. You can make some forms of creation that allow people to see there's another way. You can also incarnate that other way yourself, by not being what you hate about the world.

How can the people choose the option they do not see? If you see it, be it so the rest can see what's possible, what is inherent in the human potential

Tech is doing fine, consumer products are stagnant.
From 1998-2007 people where excited because phones took all sorts of crazy shapes, everyone trying to one-up on everyone else. Since 2007 they've been touchscreen blobs, and since 2010 they've been black slabs. There have been outliers, but for the better part they worked out the perfect form and stuck with it.
That doesn't mean tech hasn't been developing since 2011.
We've got VR, since 2014 the number of pixel per second needed to play games has gone from around 60 million to, with VR, 660 million. That's a tenfold increase in five years, and yet, most don't notice it. Generating gigabytes of video, every fucking second, live.
Phones. How about my Droid Razr from late 2011?
Compared to an iPhone XR from late 2018. 7 years.
Same power consumption, 10-20x the performance
How about radio tech?
Compare 802.11n to 802.11ac. World of fucking difference.
Transferring gigabytes in seconds, rather than minutes.
USB-C. A port that can power a device, while drawing power from that device, while outputting video from the device, ethernet, usb, and fucking PCI-e.
10 years ago you needed a port for each of those things.
This is where tech is. The devices are basically working fine, why change them?
New tech like VR/AR, while it still has 10x the compute power we did five years ago, still isn't enough to drive great experiences. We need to be 100x higher than we were in 2014 for it to work, and we're getting there.
Other shit like electric cars. 100 fucking years of the oil industry suppressing them, and now the fastest car you can buy's electric.
The fact that the variable ratio transmission, the stable of all combustion engine vehicles, has been totally superseded by the Toyota Power Split Device in all their Hybrid Synergy Drive vehicles. No variable ratio gears, no changing gears, everything's fixed in place, and they're the most reliable cars on the market.

Nobody needs technology. fuck you stupid beta racist

Yeah seems like it all culminated around 2013 and now we're just biding time before they release the real hounds of the beast system.

But how? All these words sound really good, they are perfect for rallying people, but how? What is the actual practical thing you can do to return meaning to your life? What other way is there? You see that's the big problem, whats the other way? How can you get out of the grid? How do you make your life more transcendental and less mcdonalds? In a world in which you can buy transcendental happy meals?

What do you do? Go on an experience to "find yourself" at south east asia?

See what i mean? No matter what path you chose, its packaged, has a ribbon on, a 20% discount, and has been transformed into a consumer product.

The meaningless is inescapable.

Boston Dynamics is now ACTUALLY SELLING one of their robots to customers.
Linear actuators are being produced by the tens of millions for consumer products
Mechatronics is considered one of the most valuable things you can study
Food production and industry is more automated than ever
And this, this little fucking postage stamp sized motherfucker means if I want something to have a computer in it, it'll have a fucking computer in it with power to spare.
And that was five fucking years ago.
Consumer shit may be the same shit that's been going on for years, but read fucking HackADay or something, and every week or so you'll see a new invention that breaks your previous understanding of physics or mechanical possibility.

Sure, everything's simple. We've basically worked out the laptop, phone, tv, and we've nearly solved the car.
That's a good thing, because everything we have now will need to be a rock solid foundation for all the experimental shit we're gonna make in the next twenty years. How can you build a waifubot when half your fucking company's stuck designing laptops?

Top tier nipposting

I'm betting there's some geek somewhere with his finger on the button that'll hook his AI up to the net, and the moment he thinks things are getting irrecoverably fucky, he'll press it.

Almost anything. You'd still have to put in the effort, say if you wanted to learn how to play a guitar or something, you couldn't just watch the videos, you'd actually have to pick up a guitar and follow along. This is just one example, but it applies to everything: Coding, drawing, speedrunning Super Mario Bros., budgeting, investing, starting and operating a business, brewing beer, etc., doesn't matter, you still need to do the work. But don't listen to ; self-improvement is not a means to an end, but an end in and of itself.
It's clown world, user; we're the good guys now.

Well, I've been trying to figure out that myself.

I know I like communicating people, and one o fthe key aspects is that, uniting people, with all out technology, going and gathering at the park or talking at the bus stop is dying. I's nice that you said what I said is good for rallying people. I would honestly want us all to make a prison break from this system, but I don't know how.

Mmm, but living off grid is not an option, because you'll be alone. You'll be "out of the human game" which can be benefitial for you, perhaps, if being alone is truly anyone's cup of tea, but you won't get to influence the world.

So, it IS about finding a way to live here. Securing your survival is one of the first essentials, having a job that isn't so abusing of yourself which gives you enough money to live and have an ainternet connection.

After that, for me, is about finding ways to make human beings be human beings again. What I mean is breaking out of the, go to work, get home and watch Netflix, fap, go to sleep, do it all over again thing. I think we're meant for more than that.

I personally want to figure out how to put my imagination in a visual/auditive form so that I can share my vision and the things I've learn with people.

But yeah, one of the big things for me is also to consciously reunite. I'm sick of this "we're all on our own" bullshit. I mean yeah, we somewhat are, you'll always have to go to the bathroom and be alone ther,e but that's not bad. But you also get to meet people and work together.

This reality, whatever reality is basically a box. It's a space and you're in it, and you can find various things to do in the box which have no meaning. In a moment, someone comes up with the idea of riding motorcycles and wearing jackets, and some people go and do that because it gives them *something* to do. That's why people who smoke seem attractive, lol, because they look like they have something to do (that's a lil joke), but yeah, the only...

This is what boston dymanics had in the 80's/90's:
youtube.com/watch?v=Bd5iEke6UlE
The tech was there, but it's the exact same reason we've only just seen viable electric cars: miniaturisation of power supply.
In that video, everything's running on massive air compressors off screen
10 years ago, the things just carried petrol generators on their backs
Now, we have nice liner actuators, high precision three phase motors that can hold and lock position so you don't even need those actuators, and lithium ion batteries.
Now, stuff like the Spot Mini is being sold commercially, soon, you'll see humanoid bots being sold too. Probably two or three years behind the quadruped, though.
(also, it's only in the last 5, even 3 years that we've got robots with strong and fast enough joints to actually walk the way humans do, rather than just walking with two legs in a way totally different than any human does)
It really is new tech

...thing that makes sense, other than figuring out why you're in that box, is to unite with the other people that are in that box and connect with them. It truly makes existence better.

Pure self improvement is not enough because then you'd be one of !The Beautiful Ones" like in that mouse utopia experiment. You'll be very well groomed in a world that is still going to shit. It's about working together.

what about learning how electrical systems work and learn how to manipulate them?

Say, to be able to connect devices that are not meant t be connected, or create little robots, or things like that?

6502 dev here, the number of people who bitch about C is insane to me.
Still, seeing most people's C code is "I wrote this function to do a thing, rather than write another, slightly more complex function that can run once to get a complex result, I'll just run that first function 10 million times instead for the same result!"
This is what's slowing down computers. Not people using the wrong language, but by fundamentally not knowing how to program.
Maybe working with 512 bytes of space for instructions teaches you something that a laptop running node.js with 16GB of RAM doesn't, I dunno.

Maybe it shouldn't advance.
Maybe things were better before all of this.
Maybe we can go back, if we try hard enough.

It's more-so terrifying than amazing.

Yeah. The west has been in cultural and scientific stagnation for the past almost 2 decades. Part of this is the fact that after 9/11 the government and various institutions became even more ZOG'D; the other part, is that in the last decade you have social justice warriors infiltrating various organizations and stalling any sort of progress or advancement to "protect" some perceived minority group.

Object oriented design patterns are nothing like reality anyway. They’ve just fucked us up for the last thirty years. Functional programming gives massive performance gains, so you’re not ending up instantiating your WidgetFactoryFactory again and dumb shit like that.

If you want to make an OS that’s not bootstrapped with C code Rust is always an option.

"Self-Improvement" as an end in itself is a meme, an empty buzzword. An improvement is defined in relation to a previous state and an end-goal. If you were shooting balls to a hoop, every time your shot went nearer to the hoop than the previous shot, would be an improvement. Self-improvement therefore, is the process of iterative nearing of the current self to the goal-self, in relation to the previous state of the self. Having an end-goal to shoot for is the only possible way to actually self-improve.

Microsoft had an Female Asian Manager say she couldn't put white or even Asian males that were over qualified for a position in that position because of "DIVERSITY." And worse yet because there were no other people to fill that position they were often going unfilled or being filled by completely under qualified people.

This is almost certainly the case at google and probably many more tech-firms.

Obviously this will slow technical evolution and if these overly qualified males don't form new companies free from these bullshit it will lead to tech-firms being unable to maintain the technology level we already have.

Indeed. Problem is if we don't go transhuman in the next 100 years or so, we are fucked because natural selection no longer works.

When everyone is always hyper focused on diversity, tolerance, etc... no actual work is getting done. Who woulda' thought...

You don’t have to go to college anyway. I work at a big company and taught myself this shit by teaching myself. Few years ago I was making $12 an hour doing some shit job now I make 120k. It’s easy if you’re not a retard. Just don’t work at shitty cucked companies in Silicon Valley.

Keep in mind that, for now, you could still destroy that robot by pushing it on it's side.
In the video, it's running a premade program, but eventually they'll be autonomous.
I give it a solid 50 years before we see shit like Detroit Become Human.

It’s sort of strange on how many thing were discovered and developed 1880-1940. Basically everything we have today can trace it’s origin to that time. That’s when all the extremely intelligent individuals were deriving complex fundamental equations by hand.

Using a super soaker might work too

Yeah, i agree, enjoying sharing your life with others is one of the most important things a man can do. But there's also something lost in all the domestication of the (post)modern life.

By realising that you don't need to be totally unique, or live a special, totally individual life for it to matter.
You don't need to change the world, cause a revolution, be the single best person on earth at your hobby.
All you need to do is enjoy what you have.
Once you're totally content with everything you have, and you don't desire for any material products, then we have the real talk
Congrats. You've got everything. You win.
Some say "He who dies with the most stuff, wins", but really it's not even that. It's not even "He who dies happy with everything he has, wins", it's "He who's happy with everything he has long before he fucking dies, wins"
Now you can talk about purpose and meaning.
Talk about the thought that something common that millions of others do can't have value because it's so abundant.
When you're uniquely special between everyone you know, simply in that you have everything you want, that you're content, or perhaps you're a billionaire, and can buy anything the second you want it, or this, or that, once you're finally in the position that all normie slaves dream of being in, then you can finally look back down and realise that the single most abundant thing on earth, experienced by billions, is also the most valuable thing in the universe.
Human intimacy.

If you want meaning, try looking here. Meaning doesn't need to be on a grand scale, if you can have meaning to your partner, family, small farm, chickens, etc, if you have meaning to them, you can feel fulfilled.
If you don't think a loving wife and children who adore you, that depend on you to survive, will be enough meaning, then I'm sorry, but that's what all men are universally hardwired to consider their number one priority.
Try it and tell me it doesn't give you satisfaction, I dare you.

They just give it waypoints, "Stand here, reach here without touching the floor, get up here, backflip to here", and it works the rest out itself.
