Australia went through this very same propaganda when a once in 100 year lightning storm caused a big grid interconnect failure, and a large part of an entire state was without power for weeks [1]

The Politicians at the time spun it as being caused by evil renewables, and the damage was done. A huge percentage of the population still believes that renewables cause power outages, cause prices to go up, and are the work of the devil.

Talk about putting a spin on something to ensure the legacy providers keeps making a profit.

Do they really need 100 cameras?

Just 5 cameras driving about the city all day ought to catch enough violators that anyone habitually parked in a bus lane will be caught and will stop doing it.

I could understand 1 camera per route maybe if the busses physically always stay on the same route.
The speaker is Milei trashing the WEF. It’s an epic speech.

It is certainly true that USSR’s investment in basic science was probably one of its best achievements. I agree we can’t deny that.

Libertarianism is likely rising as we see a multipolar global economy develop and state power eroding along with collapsing fiat currencies worldwide. I highly doubt you’ll have a successful commune anywhere but anyway I’m confident we won’t be needing it.
I understand that's the context, but I'm not sure that it's unfair nitpicking. It's common to talk about training data and how poor LLMs are compared to humans despite the apparently larger dataset than any human could absorb in a lifetime. The argument is just wrong because it doesn't properly quantify the dataset size, and when you do, you actually conclude the opposite: it's astounding how good LLMs are despite their profound disadvantage.
EVs don't weigh that much more than ICE cars, e.g. Tesla Model 3 weighs around the same as a Ford Taurus. Moreover, EV or not is the irrelevant part of the equation. Model Y is ~4300 lbs, Ford Explorer is ~4500, Ford Excursion is ~7000, so which one do you want your neighbors driving?

"Everyone should ride a 100 lb motorcycle" is the sort of hypothetical alternative that the people currently driving a big SUV are just going to scoff at and vote out anyone who attempts to force it. You'd be much more likely to succeed by e.g. trying to find a different tire composition that reduces particulates.
I’m not obese but I’m a big guy at 6’3” ~290lbs. I daily drive a Land Cruiser and I don’t think I’ll ever drive anything much different. I also have a full size 2500 pick up and even that is a little small for me. Driving my wife’s cars has become a burden. Even the Land Cruiser is a bit tricky to get in and out of without hitting my head on the door.

Edit: I’m not fat guys. I power lift 3 to 5 times per week and wear a size 36 in blue jeans. I’m no Tom Haviland (I can only dream) but I’m not some porky bastard either. Abs are still slightly visible although I don’t lift for aesthetics. I’m simply trying to hit 1750lbs combined on the big 3 before I turn 45.
Doesn’t work for everyone. I have relatives on it. Still big. The best improvement they made was giving up alcohol.
I think dart was meant to be used as a JavaScript alternative. Google was working on chrome with dart VM even... But as far as I remember it got abandoned due to pushback from the 'community' due to 'not wanting fragmentation'. Obviously by people who didn't want things changed.

Web is the only place where we don't have an alternative and dart would be a great contender.

I'm grew up in India and went to grad school in the US and worked there. Eventually, I transferred to the UK cause I didn't get through the US work visa lottery.

I'm much happier here because of the reasons you mentioned. I feel like my friends in America have are basically amassing wealth to insulate their liberal bubble in a conservative land. However, they might not be able to outweath the recent success of right wing policies that the American supreme Court has managed to impose.

For me personally, even the "low" tech salaries in Europe (think something like 150k an year total) is more than enough for the lifestyle I desire. If amassing wealth isn't your primary motivator, it absolutely makes sense to move to a society which better aligns with your values. That would probably be the EU for someone like you and me, but UK is EU lite.

I love that everybody here has the same access to healthcare and the fact that my high taxes help that. I like that the population responds to the actions of the elected officials - like how the current UK govt is doing absolutely terribly in current polls. In the US, it seems like it's always a tight race regardless of what the government does. I love being able to use public Transit to get to most places. I'd rather my potential kids grow up in a kinder society, where their wellbeing wouldn't be at risk if something were to happen to me or my job.

It also fails to take into consideration that once everyone else gets a larger vehicle, you're less safe because two large vehicles colliding does far more damage than two small vehicles colliding at the same speed.

> Why would the price come down before they can supply current demand?

Because in exchange they could unlock a bulk order from e.g. the U.S. government. That in turn could unlock economies of scale that let them price competitors out of the market.
Really interesting video that one.
I agree with you that this does not address the underlying issue. But root cause you speak of may not really be that simple to fix. Is the root cause people spend much more time in their offices working and hence are more inactive? Is it the crappy American diet?

For example, many people around me gained weight after they became parents. Especially women after birth. It is just insanely difficult to work hard in an office job, take care of young kids and exercise etc all at the same time.
As you age things get very difficult as well. I eat significantly less than what I used to just few years ago but still have 5-10lbs extra.
It is absurd to you because you don't constantly crave food. It is easy for someone to say 'just don't eat so much' when they don't want to, but it is hard to not do something when you want it constantly and have access to it. Next time you are really thirsty, just don't drink anything -- then imagine something like that all the time.

> when probably 99% of cases could be reversed naturally.

What does that even mean? We aren't 'naturally' exposed to such calorie dense foods all the time and aren't 'naturally' supposed to be able to get any food with so little effort. What is natural about processed foods?
2 trillion dollars worth of value, though? Doubtful.
Almost certainly not below cost.

And the US isn't paying for the R&D (that sounds like a regurgitated line from somewhere?) so much as paying for the pharma company's profits, due to the US's totally screwed-up healthcare system and situation.
> Google expects $250 profit per human being in average to be accurately valued

I don't think your calculation makes sense. You ignored the earnings multiple. Companies are valued at a multiple of yearly earnings. A reasonable multiple is 20, so divide 2 trillion by 20 first, then by 8 billion, and that's $12.50 per person per year. Their current revenues are already over $9 per person per year!

Now consider that in addition to search Google owns the single most widely used consumer operating system and web browser, the largest video site, a growing cloud business, the only alternative to Nvidia silicon for AI that's been deployed at scale, and other stuff like Waymo that has the potential to be enormous (it seems like a winner take all market to me, where the winner essentially owns all ground transportation, and Waymo is in the lead by far), plus still the largest AI research program in the world (even if it has had trouble turning that into products so far).
That would be a great argument if it were a response to a comment other than the one I made.
People like Scott Galloway have been saying this for a while, and he's completely right. The research isn't all there quite yet for stopping addiction, but the research definitely points to GLP1's effectiveness at reducing food cravings, appetite (and anecdotally "food noise") for people taking it.

If you're looking for a quick primer on what the term "GLP1 Agonist" even means:
https://glp1.guide/content/what-are-glp1-agonists/

This will absolutely have a huge effect on companies that sell ingestable... "luxuries"/addictive substances -- the only thing holding back the deluge of change is the accessibility/pricing of the drugs.

It also seems like the next phase of this is gene therapy:

Reversing type 2 diabetes naturally is not scientifically unfounded at all. Look online in the right places and there is tons of people that have been able to stop taking all their insulin and metformin etc by fasting, compressing feeding windows, cutting out all carbs.

Even the ADA had to finally acknowledge this is possible in a statement back in 2021:
https://diabetes.org/newsroom/international-experts-outline-...

It's not such a crazy idea really - You consume so many carbohydrates that you overproduce insulin and become insensitive to it in a vicious cycle. The more you fast, stay in a ketogenic metabolic status, reduce carbs and/or go zero carb, compress your feeding windows the more insulin sensitive you become.

There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Your body can maintain your glucose needs by converting proteins into glucose. Fat and proteins are essential. Glucose is not it can be produce by liver.
Can you articulate those dangers? Compounding is a well developed means of sourcing drugs and GLP has been around for decades. What specifically should people be mindful of?

Without discounting the cases that are genetic or as a result of some other illness, for whom such a pill is a godsend, most obesity is due to lifestyle and especially all the processed foods (not to mention soda!) that Americans eat and drink.

I'd rather my taxes go to preventing obesity in the first place then paying for a pill that helps relieve its symptoms (but does not fix the underlying cause), is expensive, and has side effects. Make it harder to life an unhealthy lifestyle, just as we've made it a lot harder to smoke over the past 40 years. Start by taxing sodas and processed foods for one and use the money to subsidize healthier foods and prevention of "food deserts" in lower income areas (given that obesity is highly correlated with low income which is highly correlated with unhealthy diet -- it's hard to stay healthy when all you have nearby are corner stores stuffed with Frito Lay and Coke.

To me it's another example of how we really have our priorities backwards.

My recommendation to fix the problem is a federal highway tax based on the fourth power of axle weight. This also solves the problem of heavy EVs not paying gas tax.

Maybe couple that with a requirement for a higher license tier with more liability to drive "light trucks," based on the licensing and taxation systems other countries use.
If diet and exercise as an intervention were subjected to approval as a medical treatment they would never be approved. As a medical intervention they are rarely effective and when they are the effects are almost always temporary and relapse is worse than the original state. It’s about as effective as teaching abstinence to treat alcoholism or opioid addiction - but abstinence isn’t an option for food addiction.

Larger cars are predominantly taller and longer, not wider.

Except in extreme cases, obesity is not playing a major factor here.

It's more a question of being tall. I'd love to be able to drive sporty cars, but I generally just don't physically fit. I fit fine in an SUV. A regular sedan I can fit, but because of the length of my legs, I have to slide the seat back if I'm in the front, or ask the person in front to slide their seat forwards if I'm in the back. Obviously it doesn't work if someone else as tall as me is in the seat behind/ahead.

Also sedans are terrible for my posture because I have to slouch so that my head isn't hitting the roof. My lower back and neck hurt so bad after a long drive because of the forced slouching.

Fortunately I use public transportation for 99% of my needs and none of this is an issue usually.

Also as some other people have noted, those costs seem high now, but they're certain to go down over time (due to competition and other companies entering the market along with other countries), and almost certainly worth the cost -- type 2 diabetes can be very expensive, along with all the other effects from complications of obesity.

For example, Wegovy has actually been FDA approved for reducing heart disease risk:

Money to be made. Competitors will enter the market. Oral options will be come eventually. Prices will drop. Don’t distort the natural market with price controls. You’ll get less product options and higher costs. With all the obesity, this is going to be a gravy train.

It’s absolutely possible. It’s unfounded that it even medically works for 99% of people, and that is while ignoring the obvious compliance problem.

Want to point out the naturalistic fallacy in assuming putting your body into an extreme condition for the long term is less harmful than a drug. (I say this as someone who intermittently fasts.)

They were clearly talking about the average American, not "people who are struggling". Ignoring whether or not it is wise, the majority of American households can technically afford to spend this much on a car and a large percentage do.
Conveniently forgetting that the SUV trend started due to a shitty workaround to fuel economy requirements. There are so many unnecessarily large cars around nowadays.

Yes, but the gap between that and ICBMs is much narrower than between no rockets at all and ICBMs. Japan can’t have ICBMs at all, their armed forces are entirely defense oriented by treaty. So they build what they can, because no treaty lasts forever.
That's not how emergency room care works. It doesn't matter whether it's covered or not, you're going to get treated; quite likely the hospital ends up eating the bill if insurance doesn't pay.

Would it? Drug manufacturers don't really do as much 'R&D' as we assume, they buy biotech companies that have already discovered drugs. Also, why would a company stop wanting to make money? 'We are only going to make $5billion instead of $15 billion, let's not bother with that one.'

It doesn't remove the joy, just the need. The first thing I noticed after starting is I wasn't hungry all the time. That constant sense of hunger made me eat when I didn't need to. Now I can eat a nice meal, but much of the time I don't feel a need to eat, so I don't.

Edit just to add that in 10 months I've lost 40lbs and halved my insulin usage. That insulin is the pricy synthetic stuff (Tresiba and Novolog), so the cost of the mounjaro is probably close to paid for by that decrease.

how much it will cost you to run on whichever cloud you use: Hetzner being the chepeast at the moment ~$4/mo. Ofcourse your own hardware $0/mo

will this software get updates to support new API versions or other changes these clouds might make?: So far I haven't seen a cloud provide deprecate their APIs (please do provide real example if so) but this would be handled as software update

Will it automatically support new regions?: Via software updates

Will it automatically support new instance types?: Yes already supported, more info on website and product walk-through video
