And capitalism revolves around comparative advantage.

Because American professionals expect higher salaries than their peers in most other countries, they can only be competitive with sufficient institutional or educational advantages. If American universities and research institutes no longer have those advantages, they start losing their competitiveness. Either their productivity suffers, because they have to pay more for the same research output, or they can't attract domestic talent, because the opportunity cost of going to the academia is higher in the US than elsewhere. Relying permanently on foreign talent may work, if the rest of the society accepts it.

Research is an activity dominated by labor costs. Capitalism favors doing such activities in the cheapest places where they can be done well enough.
Might be fighting the tide on this one, I’m afraid.

The basic moral intuition of the progressive world view is that there is good in everyone, we should empower that goodness, and those with the most good in them should be most empowered to make the biggest changes, as that will improve the world the most.*

As long as nonprofits appear to have “more of the good in them” than governments do**, the progressive world view will tend to favour empowering nonprofits over empowering governments.

*: Conversely, the basic moral intuition of the conservative world view is that there is evil in everyone, we should put up guard rails to restrict that evil, and those with the most evil in them should be most restricted, as that will preserve the world the most.

**: You can get a pretty good taxonomy of different progressive views just by looking at how much “good” is thought to be in various powerful entities. For example, the capital-P Progressive might think “nonprofit > government >>> corporation”, the liberal might think “government > nonprofit > corporation”, and the neoliberal might think “government > corporation > nonprofit”. Has Noahpinion been accused of being a neoliberal? Just on the basis of this blog post I would bet he has, since he appears to rate nonprofits lower than government.

HFT may be the most obvious advantage of technology disrupting traditional oligarchical structures the world has ever seen.

A market that was previously dominated by good old boy networks of football players was made massively more efficient and the cost of entry driven to the floor purely based on nerds with math.

To the benefit of effectively every market participant besides said football players.

This is also Elon Musk's justification for self-driving cars: "They make fewer mistakes than humans and are therefore safer."

It's true that self-driving cars avoid many of the mistakes of human drivers, but they also invent whole new categories of fatal mistakes that humans rarely make. And that's why Musk's argument is garbage.

It’s not just homelessness, though. Stores here in Taipei aren’t shutting down due to huge losses from shoplifting, but that’s happened to multiple places I used to go to regularly in SF. Nobody I know here has been robbed in public, either. In contrast, my friend’s mom had her purse stolen from her in broad daylight on the street in SF and several other friends had their cars broken into.

> Property rights exist because when you steal someone’s car, you’re depriving them of the usage of that car.

No, property rights exist because of a social value judgement that their existence is a net benefit. The particular structure of some aspects enforcing property rights in one class of property (tangible personal property) reflect that. (Mostly, in the Anglo-American system, this is addressed by the theft and conversion crimes and torts.) But the other main class of tangible property (real property) doesn’t really have the same nature, nor do most other elements of the broad class of intangible personal property, and the primary means of enforcing them against encroachment tend to be oriented around trespass (in common law terms, though there are special terms for it for some specific subtypes of property, such as as “infringement” for most IP rights) rather than theft/conversion, which also applies to tangible personal property (trespass to chattels).

During the Cold War and the ensuing Cuban Missle Crisis[0][1], those relatively few of us remaining who were in Florida (a much less populous state) at the time, preparing more seriously than most other states to "survive" nuclear attack, might remember why they called him Boris Badenov[2][3].

Yes he was bad enough, but never entirely competent.

[only after 40 years had passed] Unknown to the US, it [Soviet submarine] was armed with a 15-kiloton nuclear torpedo. Running out of air, the Soviet submarine was surrounded by American warships and desperately needed to surface. An argument broke out among three officers aboard [the sub] . . . including submarine captain Valentin Savitsky, political officer Ivan Semyonovich Maslennikov, and Deputy brigade commander Captain 2nd rank (US Navy Commander rank equivalent) Vasily Arkhipov. An exhausted Savitsky became furious and ordered that the nuclear torpedo on board be made combat ready. . .

I think I’m in your target market-I own a small b2b saas that will be adding user generated automations to our product soon.

I love the UI and would use a UI only version of this. I pay for highcharts and pintura.

The backend stuff is not super helpful in my case because my app already has all those capabilities (email, SMS, etc) and it’s wrapped up in messaging within the app. I wouldn’t want to use an outside provider for that stuff. I also generally want custom automations - otherwise I would just be using Zapier - so while the example basic stuff is reasonable, I would be looking for a fully custom option for each building block.

Best of luck - seems like it has potential.

Well, you're certainly right: no relationship options are easy.

When I listed those options I was specifically referring to the parent poster, who equated middle age with automatically being in a stifling marriage.... as if marriage is just some inevitable thing that happens to you, rather than something you choose.

Which was certainly not to imply that the alternatives to marriage are easy. I mean yeah, relationships can be hard. And the lack of one can be hard too.

Cycorp actively develops Cyc in a dialect of Lisp, which was originally written on Symbolics machines. Back when they had a physical office — in the before-times — they had a coffee table in the office lobby that was made out of a Symbolics, which when it was new cost over $20K.
Well said. So far, this has been my take away about Russia.

On the nuke side of things, the fear is that Putin will have nothing left to win the war and will resort to nukes; even if it’s the only one they think might have a chance of working.

Separately, I think the article makes a good point about the costs of maintaining a nuclear arsenal. I doubt they’ve been doing a good job at this.

I am trying to tease out what the term "capitalism" objectively means, because otherwise it's all too easily to do motte-and-bailey - where supporters of an -ism claim things that seem good while disowning things that seem not good. Perhaps it's ridiculous to think this is even possible in a world where a term can mean something different to each person. But if discourse is ever going to get past one camp asserting that "capitalism" is a great achievement of humankind and its detractors are fools that want to bring us closer to killing fields (plus the appropriate vice-versa for the other camp), then it is necessary to tease out the nuance of what "capitalism" actually means, rather than letting it take convenient credit for associated but distinct concepts.

> but there’s also many arguments that limitations on IP are also capitalist.

I've read plenty of them, and internalized them. After my infatuation with embracing the term "capitalism" faded, those arguments didn't really seem to be based on capital. Rather they bundled other often-associated concepts based on an assertion that they must obviously go hand in hand, while still carrying the "capitalism" banner most prominently. Your bit seems of the exact same vein - I agree musicians aren't generally IP maximalists, but most musicians aren't generally capitalists either, so that doesn't say much. Meanwhile the parts of the music industry that we would describe as the most capitalist are indeed IP maximalists, seeking to modify the law to maximize the scope of their capital.

Also I don't agree with your general assertion that any laws can be a foundation of a capitalist society as they're enforced consistently. A trivial refutation is a society that abolishes private property - no matter how consistent it is or what else it does, it could never be considered capitalist.
Same here. I was a customer for a long time and loved the service, but having to watch my “search spend” and constantly going over limits is really annoying. I ended up cancelling but I really wish I didn’t.

Personally I’d like to see an ad-supported, or partially ad-supported version that isn’t evil.

The way Google started out with relevant ads in the sidebar or a single relevant ad at the top is acceptable in my opinion if it means bring the cost way down for the end user and ensuring sustainability for the company.

I don’t think asking users to shell out $10, $20, $30 per month for search is a viable long term model that’ll ever appeal to the masses.
This is misleading: the trusted publisher is GitHub's OIDC IdP, which happens to be the single most common publishing source for PyPI (as well as the first IdP to give us all the features we needed). It has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft; I don't think Microsoft (as a discrete corporate entity) was even aware of the work.

The feature was intentionally built to be extensible and to support additional publishers. I know this because I'm the one who made it extensible, and who's working on supporting them[1][2].

> What was he found to be lying about?

Pretty much everything he’s ever said about any vaccine, but in another branch of this thread I’ve done a short list of some of his recent lies about COVID-19 vaccines, MMR vaccines, tetanus vaccines, and flu vaccines. (Perhaps the star of that list being the lie about MMR vaccines used to discourage black people from taking COVID-19 vaccines.)

Which all also underlines that the claim that he is against “a specific vaccine” is…not accurate.

I Don’t Want Your Bank’s UI. I Want a ChatGPT-Like UI
There’s a tedious, time consuming task, we all dread doing, but yet are compelled to do several times a month: interact with our bank’s UI.

Regardless of the convenience of mobile over web, it is still a multiple step process that requires several presses/clicks, screen loading icons, scrolling up and down the page, getting bombarded with calls to action, promotions, etc.

As we gaze into the future of digital banking, it’s clear that the next logical step is to incorporate functionalities such as trading stocks, dabbling in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and even applying for loans, all within the same natural language interface.
I suppose Amazon’s argument is that they are paying “above market wages for above market job performance”.

I think some interesting questions are: Why can Amazon still stretch workers in this way even with an ongoing labor shortage?

At what point does it make sense to go all in on automating many of the picking jobs? The equivalent of $30/hr? $40?
My first question about any criticism of an AI response is "ChatGPT or GPT-4?"

If it's ChatGPT I'll offer to run the prompt through GPT-4 for them. It's better 100% of the time, and it negates their complaint probably 90% of the time.

I know it's not perfect, but GPT-4 is categorically different from ChatGPT.
Interesting. There are a lot of stories from the 1960s about us giving/trading food to India.

The US had a massive surplus, and was trying very hard not to destroy excess food.

They sent food to India, because the alternative was to let it go bad. And they would thank India for taking it.

But when diplomats realized this was happening, they tried to use it to extract concessions from India.

So India was being told “please take this food,” then “now that you’ve taken the food you owe us.”

India wasn’t exactly pure in this either.

India has been thankfully free of widespread famine since the British left. But internal controls created shortages, which were unnecessary.

India could have fed itself, but that was politically untenable, just as it was politically untenable for the US government to destroy food or stop paying farmers to overproduce.
Not OP, but I too wrote something nearly identical with whisper so I could creep on old EthosLab videos. Here's the gist:

channel_yt = Channel(channel_url)

video_yt = channel_yt.videos[0]

video_yt_stream = video_yt.streams.filter(mime_type="video/mp4").filter(res="720p").first()

video_yt_video_file_path = video_yt_stream.download()

audio = whisper.load_audio(video_yt_video_file_path)

model = whisper.load_model("tiny")

transcript = model.transcribe(audio)

> But the Indian government already has near total control in the financial sense. From an Indian perspective this is just pure convenience, since the control aspect is present regardless

That doesn't mean it cannot happen elsewhere (as I have already shown) which is my entire point.

Celebrating mass surveillance and total control of new digital currencies in the form of a CBDC and throwing free money into people bank accounts to pursue wider adoption, should scare us all and not celebrated, especially in the US, UK and other countries.

There will a point where governments will do worse things to discourage protests or donating to protest groups by using CBDCs against their own people even when they do something very unpopular.

Why on earth in the US should protestors be financially suffocated for simply protesting against their government if they did the same thing that happened in Canada with the truckers or in Nigeria with banning ATMs?
To your point, there is a ton of gray area. One site I can responsibly link here is https://www.peptidesciences.com/ -- they're very careful about working to stay on the right side of the law, and they sell semaglutide and tirzepatide for ostensibly "not-for-human-consumption" (and at very, very high prices). So the raw ingredient, in non-medical settings, is not inherently impossible to import and sell legally. But I'm not fully convinced they're immune to lawsuits or legal action.
