I understand you're not trying to be political, but instead discussing the underlying psychology, and I'll endeavor to do the same.

I think focusing on these sorts of domestic social issues misses a huge part of the point. To borrow a phrase from another presidential campaign, "it's the economy, stupid". If there's a downturn and people are getting laid off from their jobs, or if there's inflation, people are going to feel like the country isn't doing well. Especially when you can tell a compelling narrative about how it's the fault of other countries. A huge part of the MAGA narrative was about China and Mexico ripping us off in unfair trade deals because the US government is terrible at negotiating, so we should elect a strong, tough negotiator.

And you can sort of extend this into foreign policy as well. Trump's foreign policy was scatterbrained from a policy perspective, but from a psychological perspective, there was a very consistent theme. Project strength. Don't look weak. Be a tough negotiator. Pull out of deals where we're getting screwed. Play hardball. The core of the MAGA message was about winning. It was a mantra, everything from "America doesn't win anymore" to "you're going to get tired of winning". Nostalgia is part of it, but so is power.

I also think people are nostalgic for the post-war era when the US produced the most steel, the most cars, the most oil, and everyone could get a middle class job and buy a house and a car or two, even on a single income. That nostalgia is almost universal and bipartisan. Some people emphasize stronger unions and lower income inequality, some people emphasize the role of foreign trade, some people emphasize both. It depends on what narrative you're telling and who you want to blame. But at this point, the nostalgia itself is old enough that it isn't directly personal for the majority of voters anymore.
You can stay 90 days on a visitor visa and just leave for a weekend every 90 days and start the clock over. When I was on my last stint as a "digital nomad" I did this a couple times over in a couple different countries. There really isn't any way to get "caught". Your host country doesn't care because you're importing money and spending it there. The country where you have your job doesn't care because you're still paying income tax there. Only catch is you have to keep a residency in your country of origin. Also, of course, your employer needs to be cool with it, but truthfully if you're remote anyways they can't really tell where you live as long as you're online during the expected hours. Although for me I thought it better to be honest/transparent.

All of the above assumes US country of origin, but I'm sure it'd work the same with many countries.
What are the biggest apps on the simplest architectures and what are the architectures?
No, the "bureaucratic obstacles" are often what people living with these countries deal with on a normal basis. The only thing you're adding to that is being on a visa instead of a citizenship.

Don't forget many third world countries are former colonies of western countries and don't necessarily want large amounts of westerns residing there again.

> it would financially benefit third world countries to allow Americans with money to move in easily and without restrictions without Visa time limits and so fort

It financially benefits third world countries when Americans with money _try_ to move in. Via bribery etc. Also many of these countries have high end hotels where they can get the same money from somebody who stays a week or two and leaves and never makes a fuss about local issues!

You should see what "bureaucratic obstacles" exist for people in third world countries that want to visit USA. The US tourist visa has no publically-known requirements beyond "shows intent to return home after trip". This is quite arbitrary and the visa officers at embassies abroad are given the final say in visa issuance. (To be fair, if there were bank balance requirements, people would both photoshop their statements and ask for friends/family to borrow the amount to pad their account before their visa interview). If you are rejected, they only tell you to "try again later" without ever telling you the reason of rejection. People who can afford to visit relatives and intend on returning at the end of their trip will have their visa applications denied on a regular basis. There's just so many applicants to be more through.
This guy's content is seriously top notch. His recent article on Sound from a few months ago was astounding and probably the best article I've seen posted here.
Aren't like 80% of all people religious? Kinda shitty to casually dismiss them all as not right thinking imo. Many (most?) of the greatest scientific discoveries have been made by people who put their faith in something other than or in addition to science itself.
China is preparing a military invasion of a US Ally (Taiwan) within the next 5 years. They absolutely care about influenceing the US public to oppose military support for Taiwan.

I would go a step further and say that reclaiming Taiwan and triumphing over the US are among the top goals of the CCP.

Yes, agree that the weights aren't commercially licensed (yet)! The other ways to run LLaMA are using GPL license which makes it difficult for commercial use even if someone trains and upload the weights publicly.

This could be a step in for the change :)
Language models exist not in the physical world but digital. A more apt comparison would be if LLMs can compile new (or slightly modified) LLMs, and I believe the answer will soon be (if not already), a resounding yes.
It also makes it kinda frustrating though. Whether you win or lose isn't really decided by your own actions.

> along with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) are really not very friendly or welcoming in terms of "path to citizenship".

About 30% of New Zealand and Australia’s populations are immigrants. I don’t think we could let many more in! As a comparison, the US is about 15% population of immigrants - and look at the stink over there about there being too many! The places with more immigrants than NZ/Oz by percentage are mostly either small island populations, or Arab states (where you are not actually an immigrant, since you don’t have citizenship rights, and slave labour conditions are rife).

One resulting issue is that some major parts of the NZ/Oz housing markets are already some of the most unaffordable in the world (think San Franscisco, but earning less so even less affordable)! The five most expensive cities in the world by unaffordability are Hong Kong, Vancouver, Sydney, Auckland, Toronto : e.g. Sydney: average monthly income of $6,100 with median house price of $1.4 million. Auckland median house price is $1.1 million, whereas the average individual monthly income is $4,269. We have the land, we just need to build a lot of houses to keep up.
Stack Overflow is probably one of the more public examples. That is mostly a C# monolith with a relational database behind it.
Yeah, but you quickly counteract with direct steering after you initiate the turn, so the overriding sensation is one of direct steering at low speeds, even through the physics is the same. This is what I think most people are referring to when they talk about high speed / low speed steering.
I've used Joker.com for years and never had this issue, or really any issue with them. I'm in the US, but at the time they were the cheapest for .com and they've been great.
Anxiously been waiting for something like this - very cool.

One use case I've had is that I hate spending time on my linkedin, twitter, etc newsfeeds. But there are a handful of people I care about and want to keep tabs on.

Is there a way I could use TaxyAI to setup a role to monitor my LinkedIn newsfeed and keep tabs on certain people + topics and then email me a digest of that?
"Article I wrote but copied from somewhere else and left out most of the important information, images, video, etc.. and didn't link to the canonical source and then jumped to some conclusions or put a spin on it" is like a bread and butter staple of web journalism. Always frustrating, and so many publications have actively switched to making almost all their stories fit into that model.

>There's no illusion - love is a complex, durable emotion and is as real as (typically) shorter duration emotions such as anger, fear, joy, etc. Your emotions and thoughts aren't illusions, they're real.

I'm talking about romantic love. Clearly the specifications around romantic love are aligned with evolution and natural selection rather then magic or depth.

A straight human cannot feel romantic love for a horse or a person of the opposite sex. If romantic love was truly a deeper emotion then such an arbitrary sexual delineation wouldn't exist. Think about it. Why should romantic love restrict itself to a certain sex? It's sexist. Biology is sexist when it comes to love. Why?

From this we can no that love is an illusion. It's more of a biological mechanism then it is a spiritual feeling.
You are using a basic understanding of economics then.

You need to understand economics as the metabolism of a larger organism.

This isn't just a hypothetical argument, it is reality. Let's take the digital device you're reading this with as an example. It's not created by any single craftsman. It is the result of millions of people's work. It is a "metabolite" of a larger organism.

You are a node or cell in a larger thing. Everything you know and can do is largely tailored to this system you're currently in.

Consider you are time-teleported back 10,000 years and come across a tribe of humans. Who would be more valuable to whom? Is your understanding of any of the technologies you presently enjoy sufficient enough to reproduce from scratch? Maybe a couple things, but they would most likely have a lot more to teach you than you'd be able to teach them.

I realize the above is very abstract from monetary policy, but the correct premise needs to be set before digging down.

Once you model economics as the metabolism of a larger entity, money reveals its true nature: to control what activities are performed by / within the organism.

There's no such thing as "intrinsic value" -- there is only a medium of exchange or signaling. This signal should not be tied to any physical thing, as that is inefficient to the state of an economy. There are better ways. Imaginary units are a more powerful tool, as they are not constrained by any physical limits.

You may be upset at how these IU's are currently handled, and rightfully so. The current methodology we have is very primitive. Our experts themselves (head of the Fed, treasury) readily admit this. When they take actions they "think" or "expect" it will have this or that effect. And the levers they pull are also very blunt.

When CBDCs come online, then we will start to realize a better economy. They will allow more granular control of things.
>India being characterized as a member of an Anti Western bloc

Binary thinkers forget there are 3 states, with us, against us, and independent.

BRICS countries aren't anti anyone, they are just asserting their independence in a world where Western countries have historically been hostile to that position.

Every couple of weeks Windows shows a FULL SCREEN advertisement during boot/login which requires several clicks to get rid of.
They advertise everything starting from Microsoft Accounts, OneDrive, MS Edge ( https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/11/15/windows-10-is-now-n... ) , Windows 11 ( https://mspoweruser.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/167013949... ) , and a long etc.

This is not a small advert in a small corner of the start menu. These are full-screen adverts that interrupt your use of the computer until you click.

What on Earth could they possibly do now to top that ?

China set conditions for those apps to operate within their nation. The companies which own the apps declined to jump through the hoops for the apps which aren't in available China. China didn't specifically ban any of these US apps. TikTok in China operates quite a bit differently than in the US because the US doesn't have laws protecting children from social media abuse the way China does.

> new apps you might want to try on an older device

In that case, you borrow a newer device, sign in with your Apple ID, and download the app onto that device. Now that app will be in your purchase history and you can download the last compatible version for your older device.
Author does not say his life is difficult because of kids.

Author says working in office has too high alternative cost because of kids. But it could have been any reason: that time spent flexibly could have gone towards any goal.

Using kids tuition is just a flex. Once you can afford to insist on working remote (assuming you want to), you can earn more money because you get 5-15 hours back every week from not commuting and lunch breaking every day.

This was part of our routine in Junior High and High School in Pennsylvania 1979-85. We would make book covers for our hardcover textbooks out of paper grocery bags.
I traveled from US to Iceland to France without knowing this and honestly thought I somehow bypassed customs when I got to France. So, this is correct you can go from Iceland to other Schengen zone countries without any checks (I didn't show my passport or do customs at all)
Except that TikTok is known to have used private information to go after people.
> That's not the fault of of the financial system.

Hilarious. On one hand, you're saying that cyrpto is this big mess full of bad actors and on the other hand, placing no blame on a financial system that can just blow up in a week because of poor design and oversight.

Just like it isn't the fault of cryptocurrencies that there are bad actors. It is just intrinsic that there will be issues in any functioning system.

You said none, but I can provide you with at least 3 different decentralized insurance protocols with proven track records. Here is one: https://nexusmutual.io/

> Combine this with "lies spread faster than truth,"....

Even more complicated:

- this applies to all piecs of information, including mainstream "truths" that are not actually true

- there is an important distinction between lies, speaking untruthfully, speaking misinformatively, etc

- most people are not just bad at epistemology (and related fields), they think they are good (because it seems that way, and "seems true equals true" in our culture) - epistemology is highly counter-intuitive
Part of my purpose with my OP was pointing out that the limiting factor for performance is not GC. When developers are coming from JavaScript and Python, the dominating performance factors are interpreting and dynamic typing. For native-compiled GC languages like Nim, Go, and D, GC only becomes an issue when it interferes with deterministic runtime constraints (RC, bounded GC, and arena allocation fix this), or when the GC is subject to lots of allocations and enormous pressure (which Nim minimizes).

Which is why I find it weird that webdevs are hyped about Rust: They're using it in an enormous number of publicly distributed applications where a native-compiled GC language would be a clearly better long-term choice.
I think it's really just a matter of opinion.

You’d need a different visa presumably.
You edited your original post to be more acceptable, didn't acknowledge it, then doubled down on implying I don't want to engage. Shame on you.

I'm eager to exchange ideas, but it's important to engage with those who are genuinely interested in constructive dialogue and are open to considering different perspectives.

I am willing and able to debate the nature of all governments and to acknowledge history. I don't enjoy sarcasm, snide remarks, and unacknowledged bad faith edits.
or they put it into crontab via @reboot ... . Or they run it in screen/tmux, or they will run it from crontab via @reboot which will start screen/tmux session with sudo for specific user..that's what I've seen myself so far on Linux servers. I believe having simple structured unit files saved us from part of such setups at least. Another big part is [hidden] under Docker now.

Seen nothing of that chaos on FreeBSD servers, but not cuz it's init system is superior, but cuz literally 0 presence on server market.

Lots of so called challenger banks offer virtual cards which can be used with merchants you do not trust, thus mitigating the risk of them having your ACTUAL card number which they can abuse/leak.
Cheaters always seem to think they are in the right with what they are doing. I don't see why booters (kicking people off of p2p multiplayer games) would even realize that they are doing a crime, much less doing something wrong. It's just another variety of cheating.
Yes, this is true. But, I worry about how long it will take for the utility of "GPT-4" on my phone to be close enough to whatever is only possible through models running on large cloud platforms to make that choice relatively drawback free.

Is the curve of what this class of algorithms can provide sigmoid? If so, then yeah, eventually researchers should be able to democratize it sufficiently that the choice to use versions that can run on private hardware rational. But if the utility increases linearly or better over time/scale, the future will belong to whoever owns the biggest datacenters.
Which era is that, though? There was a decently-long stretch of time between shrink-wrap software being common (I think my last boxed software purchase was probably in the late 90s), and the advent of the App Store (2008). During that time, downloading things from a website was the primary method of installing software.

Also, it's not like people were installing this app from a random sketchy website; it appears to have been available on third-party Android app stores, which are the only option in China, since the Google Play Store isn't allowed there.

It is meaningless as a science, and meaningless as a utility. It’s only remaining function is entertainment. Or as OP puts it:

> The Myers-Briggs is useful for one thing: entertainment. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking the test as a fun, interesting activity, like a BuzzFeed quiz.

However the industry brands it self as a utility based on science, when it is in fact neither. And I take issue with that. At best this is really really expensive entertainment exploited by big business, selling a product based on a lie.

With a persistent OS-level network tunnel (ex. wireguard) that exists when the app starts, you wouldn't need HTTP, WebSockets, TLS, etc. The app could open a single TCP connection to a sql connection pool and send its request, and it would be tunneled securely from point to point, with no additional round trips or protocols.

The idealist in me would rather this kind of thing become a standardized extension of address + transport protocols. But every person I talk to would rather stack 12 protocols on top of each other than work on improving the existing status quo. It feels like a truism of human societies; everyone wants improvement, but nobody wants fundamental reform.
