A lot of macro economic statistics should be taken with a grain of salt, or more literally: approximations with a measurement error.

PPP GDP is useful to compare, particularly politically because if the cost of goods in a country is lower people are more likely to be healthy / comfortable with less income. I think it is a little dubious when you use PPP to compare th3e size of two economies because 1) you are taking two approximate measurements and multiplying them 2) countries with lower GDP / person typically have higher relative purchasing power.

In "rich country" (high GDP /person) you can charge a lot for a cup of coffee. In "poorer country" you are likely to charge less. Therefore you can say that person in the poorer country is not as badly off as the absolute numbers suggest. However, if "poorer country" got to the same GDP / person purchasing parity might end up being almost the same. Or, countries with lots of poor regions will have a better PPP, but the cost of living in the places where people have high income may have similar costs.

And in general the most valuable purchasing power differences don't happen for the most valuable and traded goods. An equivalent airplane is going to cost as much in India as the USA, on average. At some point the absolute number is also important.
New York State and City (separate firearms laws) already has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, requiring permits for purchasing pistols within NYC, concealed carry licenses throughout the state, magazine size limits, etc.

Next.js combined code which runs on client and server into one thing, by default, then uses a naming convention to avoid disaster to avoid disaster.

That's a massive foot-gun.

Angular, out of the box, is focused on code which runs on the client. Yes you can do some tricks where some code is executed on the server, however the logical model stays the same: it's frontend code. So you wouldn't put tokens which you know belong in a BFF anywhere near it.
>This! However if you'll allow me—I think it's worth saying we shouldn’t treat others as impersonal machines to be manipulated _at all_ because we're never really okay with that same behavior being given back to us because of millenia of social, communal evolution.

That’s an argument I think I agree with but am not ready to defend tonight.

It’s much easier to defend the point that if you treat me solely as a resource to be exploited then you shouldn’t be surprised if others or myself treat you solely as a resource to be exploited
You often are better off in poorer countries anyway even if some goods cost more. My coworkers in India have servants that clean their house every day - I make more $$ than them by a bit but I could not afford that and so I personally have to spend a few hours in cleaning every week and my house isn't as clean (because I'm spending less time cleaning)
Textiles seem to have heavily moved toward Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc, but I don't see a lot of cheap plastic toys and so on produced outside the PRC.
Wrong. People move from China to India despite the higher prices in America precisely because the increase in wages is more than enough to offset the higher prices.
The EU could be a powerful neutral third block, focused on providing the best for its citizens, but for that they would have to keep up economically. The EU is currently a massive laggard, worse than China in a lot of metrics, yet having dalliances with some levels of Chinese authoritarianism. Not to mention the current unsustainable state of its welfare state.
I'm not sure that's a correct characterization of Americans' social lives. Many, many Americans, especially young ones, go bar hopping.

This makes me think of how neuralink and Elon keep saying how their tech will revolutionize communication where people without it will seem so slow and utterly disadvantaged.

Literacy and comprehension allows vast amounts of data to be transferred between humans. Anything that increases that even more will be a game changer and really bad for those who won't have it.
Cities in the midwest and east bus their homeless to the west coast. California tried to do the same but turns out people really like the weather.

As far as they lack the ability to do anything, you're right. Cities are NIMBY trapped and unless they fix that they won't be able to make any real progress on the problem.

Europe is willingly self sabotaging their industry and energy production, in the name of some completely irrational environmentalist ideology that states that saving the planet is achieved by making Europe poorer while allowing China, India and a few others to pollute without any restrictions.

So yeah, we are getting poorer by the day and on the brink of a major economic crisis. Just look at what is happening in Germany.
Lost me, weren't we talking about Zig and Odin, versus OCaml?

Also, OCaml is mature enough for Jane Street, Cisco, Docker, among others.

Which most likely will never pick neither Zig, nor Odin.

I'm pretty sure that in my case that would be a fast way to lose a lot of money, but YYMV, I guess.
As the child of non-white immigrants to this country... I simply disagree. We faced more discrimination in the country my parents left than we did here. My father was unable to be employed due to his skin color and social status in his native country, and became successful mid-level exec here in America, was given a mortgage, etc.

Capital is available for people here without reference to social standing.

Is it perfect? Of course not. I literally said that.

However, if you want capital and aren't whatever platonic ideal your country has decided you ought to be to access that, America is literally your best bet.

> That translates to how the last half of that paragraph doesn't apply to a significant amount of American's who struggle to access the resources they need to survive let alone innovate and thrive..

I'm not going to claim every american is able to thrive, because obviously that's not the case. But even the poor American is able to access credit, which is what my entire post was about. You are changing the goal posts a lot.
Evidence, please. I've provided mine, and my father was "behind the scene". What's yours?

P.S. my father went from:

1. bombing Germany in WW2

2. being part of the military occupation in the early 1950s.

3. being part of NATO planning headquarters in Wiesbaden in 68-71. This was not an occupying force

I love that almost all the responses to your question are, "No! Bad idea!"

It's a great idea. We want more than an open-world. We want an open-story.

Open-story games are going to be the next genre that will dominate the gaming industry, once someone figures it out.
It reminds me of the assassination of Shinzo Abe. Original assumptions were that it was a political rival... Turned out to be a very simultaneously personal and abstracted "My mother gave away our entire inheritance to the religious group Abe supports and legitimized" grievance.

Innovation means stock market growth? So no innovation happens at any university for instance? Or private companies? And the stock of e.g. United Healthcare Group going up doesn't mean that any innovation happened whatsoever.

Why do so many people, especially on HN, confuse market cap or GDP growth for innovation? Surely, especially here, people can realise that innovation can come in different forms, and some do not move the needle of a stock market or won't show up in GDP graphs. Is CERN not innovative because it's not a public company whose stock is growing?
Probably more accurate to multiply that by 4. Each SM is split into 4 partitions that can each execute different instructions but with shared L1 cache.

In Seattle it is over 400/100k, by some estimates higher than 500/100k.

45/100k would be an incredible improvement.

Though looking up Paris, it is ~200/100k, which is still half of Seattle's rate!
At the current trajectory of the EU though, don't count on it. She will regret you guys not having built up an inheritance for her, considering that EU tier 1 and tier 2 towns and cities are being rapidly bought up by American private equity.
Of course! I’m already working on it.

Also in 'House of Suns' by Alistair Reynolds.

The most revelatory idea for me in it was the idea of how a human being could plausibly become a near god-like entity.

This isn't even the real premise of the book but a brief detour over a few pages where the author expounds this idea.

The man, Valmik, starts off as a human much like any other.
As the first stage in his metamorphosis he replaces his brain neuron by neuron, with mechanical parts.

Once this is done he no longer needs his body.

This now frees him from his mortal shell which he discards. He now lives purely as an electro-mechanical device for centuries. He shuns all his human contacts since they are unable to keep up with him.

At this point he starts adding more artificial neurons till his count surpasses several orders of magnitude of his starter human brain.

But he realises that he is still subject to the vicissitudes of the planet that the machine that's him is located in.

This he couldn't abide by.

At this next stage, the already superhuman intelligence formerly known as Valmik sets off on a space faring vehicle.

The endlessness of space is no bother to this entity, because he has no bounds on his longevity.

And so he travels the cosmos for millennia in this state, free from the erstwhile shackles binding him to Earth.

But he realises that even this is not enough. Just one well aimed shot would destroy him.

Not good enough for an immortal.

So he transforms each of his neurons into an independent self-sustaining machine. Each of these machines communicates with each other via light/EM beams.

The formerly comet sized machine that housed his consciousness was now split across these self sustaining machines.

These machines can now drift apart. As far apart as he wanted.

His brain was now a cloud consciousness that could span the size of solar systems.

But this expansion came at a cost.

The cost was this: transmission between his independent neuron nodes, now each far apart from one another, took time, limited by the speed of light.

Thoughts that would formerly take him micro seconds would now consume days. But that was no matter to this entity that had left all his companions behind and only needed to talk to himself.

And thus, Valmik, once man, now a cloud consciousness came to disperse himself all across the Oort cloud.

An immortal who can outlive the sun.
It most likely won't be a separate device. It'll get integrated into something like Apple TV or a HomePod that has an actual function and will be plugged in and networked all the time anyway. The LLM stuff would be just a bonus.

Both are currently used as the hub for HomeKit devices. Making the ATV into a "magic AI Box" won't need anything else except "just" upgrading the CPU from A-series to M-series. Actually the A18 Pro would be enough, it's already used for local inference on the iPhone 16 Pro.
What you read online can definitely sway your opinion, especially if you’ve never traveled to or lived in that country for an extended period of time. It can give you a misleading perspective.

I’ve lived in both EU and US, and EU definitely has the better quality of life for the average person. I 100% agree.

However if you are at all an ambitious youngster with huge dreams, the EU is where dreams go to die lol. EU living is what i’d call “coasting in life”. It’s a safe, sheltered life, the government is very functional and “takes care” of you which i’m sure is comforting for many. It’s not for everyone though.

In other words, I would recommend the typical person moves to the EU if they have the opportunity. Their quality of life would improve and they would be happier. For anyone that’s very ambitious or very talented at something, your efforts will pay off 10x in the US, and you’ll have a better quality of life than your EU counterparts.
Or you'll see a flood of shit that's impossible to filter.

I was thinking of replying to the email with what you think is the answer and letting an LLM decide if you remember correctly. Is that something that sounds effective to you?

The nice thing about your tool is the simplicity and low-friction due to using email. For retrieval, replies might work, but I wonder whether the people who are willing to do that work are the same people who would just install Anki instead.

> It starts with begging God to take Its Spirit back into Itself while we live, so that our soul may be cleansed and purified of its vices. That is the meaning of the 1st Beatitude, "Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs shall be the Kingdom of God."

That sounds like you took the Bible and some flavor of New Age stuff, threw them in a blender, and drank whatever came out. That's something weird, but it's not Biblical theology.

> Then we have to slog through and overcome our selfishnesses, to the end, as described by the 5th (IIRC) Beatitude, by learning how to choose selfless service to others over selfishness.

If you're trying to slog through that, on your effort and self-discipline, you're never going to get there. Neither am I. I am more broken than that; sin runs deeper in me than that. And in you.

I wish you truth, but in love I have to say that I don't think you really have it.

What a weird take on risk management, I hope you aren’t responsible for managing anyone’s risk besides your own.

You’re advocating against the reason that rabies deaths are so few in your locality and dismissing the monumental amount of effort that went into making it so rare.

There are ~60,000 rabies deaths annually, most from places without access to prophylactic vaccination, and there is little to no public initiatives to control carrier populations or educate the public about the risks.

1. I explicitly wrote that people care more about tech stack than salary. Then gave an example where an industry has that problem. The response was about if you have other attributes you can find someone. Fundamentally ignoring the point.

2. Rude? The person who replied did what was said. The first sentence implied that my point was indeed correct. Then the second sentence just ignored what the first sentence implied and ignored the point. They seemed to think the problem is a long-standing problem that banks have. Instead of a problem that has been growing for years because the supply of people who know the tech stack is decreasing. It's fair to point out to people you don't think they understand the problem.

3. Misunderstood? I believe they implied in their first sentence I was correct and that they understood the point. They just didn't like the point.
I don’t have enough data to give you an answer one way or another but this was New England and we have a lot of things that are common for us but weird for the rest of the country by dint of being where colonization efforts were good enough to be started and built up, but not so bad that they are worth replacing.

Examples include individual shops that used to be called markets which are not farmers markets or supermarkets, basements in all/most homes, and town halls being an expectation of normal governance rather than a newsworthy event

Sounds like they count from approximately the origin of the first “alphabet” (including vowels), while writing itself is much much older.

Btw, I recommend anyone who hasn’t looked at it before to read up a bit on the history of writing. It shocked me a bit that writing has only been independently invented 4 times in known human history (Egypt, Middle East, China, Mesoamerica), with all other writing systems being either inspired or derived from nearby systems.

The English/Latin alphabet, for example, is a distant descendant of the Phoenician abjad, which itself was ultimately derived from Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Some traces are left today, like the letter “A” looking a bit like an up-side down bulls head with horns… because it actually descends from the hieroglyph for bull.

Interestingly, Arab, Hebrew, and Indic scripts are all derived from the same Phoenician ancestor, despite how different they all look today…

Should we extend that "zero tolerance" principle for, say, traffic deaths? Even 1 death is too much right? Yet over a hundred people die on European roads every day. Surely we should tackle this many times more seriously than we tackle the comparatively minor issue of Islamic terrorism?

What about pollution? Kills thousands upon thousands of people too! Why are we wasting our time and attention with 24/7 news reports about terrorism every time some nutter stabs someone in the street, when we could be directing our efforts towards eradicating coal, diesel engines, etc?

See where I'm going with this?

An interesting individual I know is fond of reminding people that the Magna Carta has been a useful document for over 800 years, but the actual enforcement of the Magna Carta is that every time a monarch started acting like they were above it, a critical mass of people with the power of violence showed up to remind him that he was, in fact, just as mortal as everyone else.
