Would successful integration be like in Texas where most Anglos have little knowledge of Tejano culture?

Or perhaps you mean the Anglo immigrants who moved to Mexican Texas and promised to follow Mexican law and become Catholic but after they gained power they declared independence as a pro-slavery country, then after economic failure decided to join a neighboring country?

The Amish are successfully integrated into Pennsylvania, right? Even though they exist almost as a separate society?

How to Manage Authentication in Playwright
I’m skeptical that this is a high end watch. It’s collectable, sure, but they make no mention of the movement, and at that price I’m going to assume it’s nothing special, and that majority of the price has gone into the case and face.

Personally, I think it’s ugly, and reminiscent of 80’s black marble bathrooms.

> drop an anchor kid to force naturalization

This doesn’t work the way many assume. Yes, it’s true, the kid ends up a citizen by birth. But the kid can’t sponsor the parent for permanent residence until the kid is 21 years old, there are financial requirements the kid has to meet as a sponsor, processing the application still takes at least at least a year or two after that, citizenship takes additional years (usually 5 or more), and there are many reasons why either permanent residence or citizenship can be denied.

Everything in the previous sentence assumes the laws on this topic aren’t tightened further in the next couple of decades, which they very well might be.

Maybe the parent simply has a goal to ensure that their kid has the opportunities that come with US citizenship. That part does work. And sure, I say fair enough, especially in the context we’re discussing where the parent is coming and working and paying taxes. But having a kid in the US is in no way a quick, easy, or guaranteed path to naturalization for the parent.
> IMO they're glorified intellisense

To me, LLMs are actually two-step shortcut to previously

1) query google

2) select most voted/accepted answer on StackOverflow

3) copy+paste example code in IDE

4) update some chars to match your need

5) run some tests to see if it suits your need

Saves plenty of time, but scary when someone running that shortcut may be careless or have lack of understanding.

Well yes, on other hand there is also hardware acceleration case which make lot of sense when you are manufacturing devices at scale.

And with codec. What code it is in? For what architecture or operating system? What is system constraints it has to operate in? Do you have some specification? Do you need to due something beyond it for new codec.

And from security viewpoint running some arbitrary code from disk sounds like questionable idea. Specially for say pc or console...
As I was disappointed does not mean you did make the wrong choice.

.net core is a silent workhorse in midlevel to larger companies. Java is strong in the large enterprise (banking, gov, multinationals) scene.

Your choice might be rational though:

1. Both TS and PY have a relative large following of beginners. I have a hunch that those people are less likely to explore other ecosystems, and for them a tool like you have might be really appealing because it allows them to stay there.

2. The bar to be competitive in .net and Java is on a higher level.

OTOH: Popularity on StackOverflow might be misleading.

1. Python is a popular choice for "glueing" tasks, think data mangling and llm. Those people would be less inclined to build applications, that is not their job.

2. TS is a heroic effort to fix JS, and that being the only choice for frontend means that this demographic is big. Some might want to bring this frontend fix to the server side to build server applications, but I don´t know how big that demographic is. It might grow due to the push for SSR.

3. Both are beginner languages, resulting in more StackOverflow engagement
Depending on the jurisdiction, the minimum required storage time for medical data varies - but it needs to be kept around usually. Patients can, within that time frame, request that data to be provided, but may be required to pay some fee to cover the material costs. In my jurisdiction, this time frame is 10 years, and radiology data is usually provided as a paper slip with a link and password, valid for 1-2 years, or DVDs on request.

Keeping that data around and managing requests for it is a part of why older physicians are so keen to sell their practices to younger doctors here - they can pass on the duty of keeping up with storing the data that way.

Maybe the parents should actually parent. I'm sick of absent parents blaming all of their problems on tech after they put literally zero effort into using any of the parental controls - which would not have even let the kids download the app.

The Nobel committee picks candidates for all the prizes, and the final decisions are split up over four different institutions.

> There are multiple historical examples of public opinion being shaped by propaganda.

Correct. But (until relatively recently) the proposed solution to deception and propaganda was dismantling them with facts and reason. "Free and open discussion in the public square is critical to a well-functioning society." is one of the foundational principles of our country.

This notion that adults should be protected by deception and propaganda by censorship, rather than frank and open conversation is a distressing resurgence of authoritarianism.

As always, when looking at the machines of control that politicians are assembling, ask what can be done with it by someone who is dedicated not to the protection of their citizens, but rather the suppression or destruction of a section of the citizenry they disfavor. If someone who hates can legally do more harm with the machinery than someone who cares can do good, either ensure that it is built differently, or that it is not built at all.

Hardly. A handful of very high ranking Nazis were tried and hanged. Many of them escaped via ratlines. Nearly all the mid-level officers and civil authorities escaped any sort of punishment or justice, and continued happily serving in the West German state.
Type "how does google image search work" into Google search or your favorite LLM. You probably can't implement anything close to it by yourself with a desktop or laptop PC. A significant amount of training data and machine learning code -- and hardware -- sits behind Google image search and similar tools. So you start by learning about machine learning.
> Society did precisely what you say it didn’t do. As polluting industries arose, society decided what to do about it. For a long time it was nothing. Then some restrictions, generally increasing over time. The fact that restrictions were enacted and changed means there was a deliberate choice here. We looked at industrialists profiting from mass poisoning, and our response was, could you tone it down a bit? And not, killing innocent people for money is wrong, so you’re going to prison.

So maybe society got it wrong. Maybe you're getting it wrong. Maybe they didn't fully understand things back then, maybe you don't fully understand the actual options society faced.

I'm not arguing that society always gets things right. I'm arguing that single-handedly deciding it got things right and therefore doing whatever you think is best is something society can't condone.

The greatest thing humanity understood over the last 500 years, however imperfectly, is the idea of being able to live side by side and not kill each other, even when you strongly disagree about things. Before that people were killing each other over differences in religious interpretations, differences in ideas, etc. People always disagree about things - but we learned to live together, and in democracies, learned how to work together to steer society to (hopefully) better places. You really want to unwind that?

This isn't hypothetical. I'm asking a direct question - what would you do with a father who, say, kills a doctor who performed an abortion on his daughter? From the father's point of view and ethics, the doctor literally murdered is grandchild. Do you cheer him on? Excuse him? I'm genuinely curious how you answer.

> Society is unhealthy. We agree on that. Why do you think it’s so? Is it just something that happens randomly, or is there an underlying reason?

I think the underlying reason is what I said about - that people are forgetting the fundamental idea of being a unified society, living together and even loving each other, without necessarily agreeing on everything. Even when the disagreements are profound, hurtful and run very deep. I think Western society has misplaced its sense of purpose and sense of being virtuous - so of course it's easy to slide into "well everything sucks, of course we should just ignore the law and do whatever we want".

> So go back to the 1950s and the point stands.

Yes. "Quantum computers will revolutionize computing by year 2100" is a claim I can take seriously. "Quantum computers will revolutionize computing real soon now" is a claim I am not taking seriously.

Solar, nuclear, fusion, NNs, batteries and so on does not mitigate climate change. This all is great tech but all it does is slows down climate change which will happen with the same severity, but a few decades, or centuries later (the same levels of change, with and without green tech). The only ways to mitigate climate change are either to lower temperatures or to remove greenhouse gas which works for increasing temperatures. nothing else. And humans are not doing anything which matters in this area.

I see that people somehow got in their heads that climate change is a fixed duration process, say a hundred years, and then it stops (or they don't think about it). So if we go all solar we will delay the increase, get lower temperatures by year 2100 and then we win, yay! Almost nobody it speaking out loud that climate change will simply continue even if we go all solar, remove all plastics, invent working fusion generation, switch to all EVs etc. And it will continue to the same end level as if we did nothing at all.
How do you use Cursor? I was scratching my head at its pricing model, how's that 2000 completions a month? Is it enough? What are the "slow premium requests"? Do I need a course only to understand what I get for my money? I'm confused.
I would think that getting to a positive cashflow shouldn't be that hard, most of the cost are fixed. Recouping the billions of R&D will take many years, but those cost are sunk. The fact that they're adding cities probably means they already have positive cashflow, or are near it.
> If this starts to break down then the law is failing. The fix isn’t to convince people that following the law is inportant, the fix is to show people that the law offers a viable notion of justice, whatever that might entail.

I agree. I just don't think the system is as broken as you seem to think it is. Compared to almost any other place and time, the system is the best.

> Those answers are all wrong. The purpose of the law is this: to convince people not to take matters into their own hands.

Btw, while I do agree with this in a democracy, note that many, many people throughout history (and today!) live and have lived in places where some people really are above the law. That doesn't seem to preclude society functioning.
Or course it would fail a driving test designed for humans.

Humans would fail a driving test designed for autonomous driving too. We don't have the reaction time comparable to computers to ..say.. avoid oncoming traffic or an object/animal on the road within a few milliseconds. Or identify dark objects easier to see in infrared. Or maintain an exact speed, to a few significant digits. Or manually do a good job with traction control.

EVs have a way higher initial CO2 footprint. The crossover depends on car and where you get the energy from. I think it's often around the 100 000 km mark where an EV gets the smaller footprint. But like I said, many variables factor in.

> Yes, editing Wikipedia is harder than it needs to be and you better have your Kevlar underwear on before venturing into hot potato topics, but

... but? Really? After that first part of your sentence, you think there’s a “but”?

> contributions to more obscure/factual articles are generally more than welcome.

They are absolutely not. I stopped editing in the 2010s when it became clear that more and more of my contributions are just going to get reverted or deleted. Everyone I know personally feels the same way: contributing to Wikipedia is pointless because it all just gets deleted anyway. I don’t know anybody who thinks Wikipedia is a welcoming place, and the supposed goal to collect “the sum of all human knowledge” is a farce.

From your comment, it’s clear that you’re not experiencing this. Clearly you have adapted well to the rules, perhaps to the point where they have become second nature to you. That means it will become harder and harder for you to take a step back and think really deeply about the ways in which they hinder the project to collect “the sum of all human knowledge”.

>None of the leaders of Germany in WWI were still in power by the time WWII started.

This isn't really true. Hindenburg was instrumental in Hitler's rise to power. Ludendorff was the de facto dictator during WWI and proceeded to create the stab-in-the-back myth and to fight for the Nazis. There is absolutely lots of continuity between the WWI regime and the Nazis.

Not to mention streaming/digital media is going to kill off actually good movies and content.

Plants release most of CO2 when they die. Locking CO2 in plants only works with actual living green mass. And we need a colossal and ever increasing amount of plants to offset our emissions. And plants needed just don't live in the tundra now.

As for easier food - tundra is poor environment, so it will be hard to grow anything there, even simply due to solar day/night issues. On the other hand, climate change on a scale when tundra becomes a place to grow food, would mean that some of the existing places to grow food could possibly stop being it. Imaging rice dies out in the hottest regions of the planet, where billions live. World war would be a child play compared to that.
