"In Brazil, there is a frequent rhetoric about “we don’t want to become like Argentina” or “this politician will turn us into Argentina”. So I was left wondering: how bad is it over there really?"

In the 80s Brazil, there was a TV ad from Orloff vodka[1] where the guy talked to future-himself. The catchphrase was "Who are you?" "I'm you, but tomorrow".

That was it. Every news outlet started using the term "Orloff effect" to scare viewers and readers about brazilian government policies that would, in their opinion, inevitably make Brazil become an Argentina.

Maybe my understanding is incorrect, but expansion on the distinction.

Assumptions -- We're talking about two separate systems (source and destination) with non-neglible transfer time (although perhaps "quick")

ETL -- Performing the transform before/during the load, such that fields in the destination are not guaranteed to have existed in the source (i.e. 2 db model)

ELT -- Performing a 1:1 copy of source into an intermediary table/db (albeit perhaps with filtering), then performing a transform on the intermediary table/db to generate the destination table/db (either realized or materialized at query time), with the intermediary table/database history retained (i.e. 3 table/db model)

In short distinction, if regeneration or altering the destination is required, ETL relies on history being available in the upstream source.

ELT pulls control of that to the destination-owner, as they're retaining the raw data on their side.

Weird hostility aside, monarchy is highly unlikely in the US at this time, because the American tradition has been steeped in myths hostile to the very idea (curious, perhaps, given that the US has what is in effect an imperial presidency). We would need to witness a deep shift in American sensibilities before monarchy could be embraced.

Perhaps as a compromise or a transition we could reform the presidency such that it becomes a position held for life (with preferential voting to make it more nimble to make up for the lack of term churn). The prospect of such a long reign would rule out short-sighted careerists who would tire of the burden of office (despite being the highest office in the State, at some point, the prestige-to-burden ratio becomes unappetizing for such people). And given the length of such a term in office, the choice of candidate is likely to become more bland, as no party wants to live under a diehard member of the other party. This has its drawbacks, but it could add stability that would provide an environment in which normality could be fostered.
Which remarks are you referring to?
Taiwan is well ahead of Japan and SK in terms of GDP PPP, which takes into account the cost of living in the country. In fact, Taiwan is closing in on the US as well.[0]

If we base it on GDP PPP, then Japan and SK are actually 10-20 years behind Taiwan.

The work moved from Japan to Taiwan simply because TSMC beat the competition out.

That whole debate wouldn't have made sense to the founding fathers. Yes they were liberals, but "capitalism" wasn't coined until the 19th century.

Milei is quite extreme when he claims that markets can't fail. He's trying to move Argentina in the right direction. I would have voted for him. But that's an extreme claim and is rejected by most economists.
Not surprising, just like when MS went to shit, and then they start to embrace 'open source'. Seems like PR stunt. And when it comes to LLM there is millions of dollar barrier to entry to train the model, so it is ok to open up their embedding etc.

While technically yes in the strict biological definition, it's a measurably less useful definition in humans since we generally don't consider a man who can't produce sperm as "not male" and a woman who doesn't have eggs as "not female".

Point being that while sex is certaintly more fundamental than gender, I don't know if the formal biology definition of sex is sufficiently nuanced for the way we perceive sex in humans. Especially since of the primary sex characteristics, having eggs or sperm is arguably the characteristic that humans care the least about when determining sex.

AnyGPT: Unified Multimodal LLM with Discrete Sequence Modeling
My first couple of weeks at Bridgewater I was diagnosed with a fear of failure - deep reluctance to set off on a journey unless I could see the entire path through to the other side.

I thought that was a good way to be actually (keeps you safe from doomed endeavors) but obviously keeps you from progressing on things where the only way to figure out the path is to walk it.

In retrospect it’s a form of anxiety. If you assume the world is against you and dangerous then setting into an ambiguous space is probabilistically negative. If you have faith that things work out for the best, it lets you set out on such a path easier.

I think this isn’t just me. We tend to procrastinate in the absence of “perfection “ because we perceive some sort of danger / downside for ourselves from that imperfection. Whereas the better way to think is with the end in mind: what outcome do I really care about? Does this messy step X make that outcome a bit more likely? If yes then you do it with excitement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_debt_restructuring cites a lot of sources, though many in Spanish.

"The Ministry of Economy reported in June 2005 that the total official Argentine public debt was down by $63.5 billion from the first semester to $126.5 billion as a result of the restructuring process; of this, 46% was denominated in dollars, 36% in pesos, and 11% in euros and other currencies."

I would like it if more people knew that large economies have most of their debt in sovereign, floating currency, so that "fiscal responsibility" would not be the thing that stops nice things from happening. (AKA modern monetary theory)

> CCP could just do the same thing to themselves via a trade ban on imported goods.

They could, but a domestic trade sanction, just like foreign sanctions, would guarantee at least near-term damage to Chinese companies.

Domestically, Beijing would be seen as the responsible party for the resulting economic damage, causing resentment towards the government, with no actual guarantee of self sufficiency. Companies, in general, do not care about having a domestic supply chain; they want to increase profits.

Internationally, other countries would also see China as the initiator of the conflict, and those that are negatively affected may want to respond with sanctions of their own, escalating it beyond what Beijing intended.

The risk analysis is different between foreign sanctions and domestic sanctions. In the end, the Chinese government was not prepared to take that risk, but the American government was.

Not everyone shares the views on freedom of speech that the US has. For example holocaust denial in Germany, or corporate donations, attack adverts, libel laws, Nor do many countries share the view on the same limits that the US does.

Theres a somewhat arrogant view amongst Americans that their view on what does and dies not count as freedom of speech is the only view.

Picketing funerals with hate speech is not wanted in many counties for example. Waving the flags of terrorist groups and calling for the extermination of a people isn’t wanted in many countries.
Yeah actually. The key is the phrase "why do you still drive cars like this?" It's not because you have to, but because you are signaling that a car as a status signal is irrelevant to you. That's actually the next level status signal :)

Bayraktar TB-2 versus Reaper:

- 55kg payload versus 1746kg payload

- 24k feet versus 50k feet altitude

- 150km versus 1850km range

It's not a fair comparison. They're very different classes of devices.

I do think the US could produce a Bayraktar-quality drone for under $5M. The major upside of the Bayraktar is that non-NATO countries can buy it.

Heck, I think many readers of HN could do the same (which obviously wouldn't help with sanctions). Stick a control system on a basic Cessna 152, and you've pretty much got the same capability. That's well south of $1M even.

You don't hear much about Bayraktar TB-2 (specifically) anymore since it's also not very useful anymore. It worked well before Russia was prepared. Now, we're generations ahead. Sky is full of drones, anti-drone warfare, and largely ones the ones used are a fraction of the cost of the Bayraktar TB-2 so it doesn't matter if they're shot down. The other end of the scale is ones less easy to shoot down.

edit: Corrected to write about the specific famed drone useful at the beginning of hostilities in Ukraine, versus Turkish drones in general.

I am curious if an LLM trained using a tokenizer that renders words into IPA alphabet would make a better bot for creative writing, especially things like rhyming, assonance, puns, and other sound-based word games. It might also do better on "fringe" languages, where there is low corpus in the language but the words might have cognates in more widely known languages.
Yes, but. If you find yourself in a more eco-friendly community or social circle, then status is measured in the opposite way. That person who doesn't own a car, bikes to work, buys used clothing and books, gardens, lives in a small house, etc. achieves a higher status.

I think this is the case for those with severe ADHD. They can't really function at all in modern society, it's a severe impediment.

Vast majority of ADHD (esp. adult adhd cases, where childhood symptoms were not obvious) are nothing like that. I think this is where the idea of it being a phenotype comes in, for the mild/moderate ADHD cases.

PPP and anything Per Capita isn't a convincing metric.

They are productivity metrics (aka how much shit a country can produce)

GDP is just a measurement of how much shit a country produces a year.

GDP per Capita is a measurement of how much shit is produced per entire population - from a 5 month old toddler to a 92 year old geriatric.

GDP PPP is a lossy transformation of GDP into supposed "international dollars" that have varying calculations and are based on the (imo flawed) assumption that goods can be substituted.

GDP PPP Per Capita is dividing that flawed transformation across the entire population.

> because TSMC beat the competition out

Because American and Japanese companies in the 2000s viewed the foundry model as commodified and a race to the bottom, like battery tech (eg. BYD), and as such decided to divest and let much poorer/less well compensated Koreans and Taiwanese work on it in the 2000s.

This is why GlobalFoundries exists. AMD was falling drastically behind Intel in the 2000s because their foundries were a massive operational expense preventing them from investing in R&D.

As such, AMD divested their fabs into a PE funded company called GlobalFoundaries in 2009

Japanese companies did the same thing, creating joint ventures or gaining controlling stakes in Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean conglomerates while transferring commodified IP.

This is how CATL was formed by Japanese TDK, BYD by Samsung's cellphone battery division (yes they're Korean but same story), and others
