Though I’m not in electronics, I am in software development, and I have tried using various language models for basic circuit development for very small side hobbies, and I have found it to be mixed at best.
It works better when it’s integrated into a search engine so that it has real humans explaining things so that they can just do the summary and not build something from scratch.
Didn’t I put this in freechat? It was a rant. You can stop gatekeeping now.
A note about those queues.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the difference between policy and material conditions. The USSR wouldn’t have had queues (or very long queues) if they were a rich country like the United States. Any socialist country that is rich would have plenty of materials that nobody would ever have to wait in line (at least not a long line, no longer than in current day USA)
Of course, under socialism, certain excesses would be limited, but at the same time, if your country literally already had what it needed because of the overcapacity built by capitalism, then under socialism, basically all needs would be met very easily.
I need to do some more reading by other people on this topic because I’m no expert, but it makes sense to me.
Okay, first my honest review is it’s one of my favorite shows I’ve ever watched. It portrays hacking relatively well. It portrays Anxiety and mental issues fairly well for a show. And it’s a fantastic execution of the unreliable narrator. If you haven’t heard of the unreliable narrator, then go look up the trope so you get the gist of what’s going on.
Now for my full disclosure I fell in love with the show before becoming a Marxist. So this has absolutely nothing to do with my Marxist identity now.
Yeah, it’s pretty anti-capitalist, and they use the term “revolution” a lot. But it’s kind of a bougie revolution, like an anti-technocrat thing.
I wouldn’t watch it for any marxist vibes, but in the end I still heavily recommend the show. Even as Marxists can enjoy some regular old TV shows and this was one of the highest claimed and most well-rewarded shows on TV when it came out.
All of that being said, the first season is the best season. I do think it gets a little bit hard to track over time, but the creator of the show built the entire series to be one fluid storyline from the beginning. So I think it’s worth finishing. You will literally learn things in the very last season that will affect the first episodes that you’re watching right now. I’m not trying to spoil it, but I am trying to get you excited to watch the whole thing. I had to watch the entire series twice to truly come to my understanding of the show and what it really means.
Sent! Good luck!
