I actually wrote an article that you might be interested in. It connects competition policy, market power, and social unrest. If you’re interested, feel free to take a look -- I’d be happy to hear your thoughts. https://thecommongoodchronicles.substack.com/p/an-assassinat...

Higher taxes for the absurdly rich/corporations could be a good start if the money was put to good use, but taxes ultimately don't solve the underlying issue.

I agree that the core issue is antitrust policy -- and it doesn't have to be this way and wasn't always like this. After the Great Depression, antitrust enforcement ushered in an economic golden age during the 1950s and 60s, boosting prosperity across all socioeconomic groups and lifting lower-income groups the fastest by enhancing competition and preventing concentrations of market power.

Later, regulators embraced 'trickle-down economics' and 'corporate efficiencies,' enabling the rise of giant firms that overpower governments and laws. This shift has led to historically low profits, stagnant growth, declining productivity, and soaring income inequality.

Now the rules-based systems have been co-opted by these giant firms that exploit their market power to subvert democracy and shape laws to serve their interests (and further entrench their undue influence) at the expense of society.
This is a pretty clever use-case for the expanded datum. Any idea of the performance of this?

I think you've misunderstood. It's clear from the article that the "Black squad" was so named because it specialised in investigating suspects who were Black, not because the officers in it were themselves Black.

You last point is the most pertinent. Labour didn't win a majority because they offered compelling platform ideas, they won because the Cons failed to deliver on their platform and Reform UK exploited that failure to split the conservative vote.

Opinion polls already have Labour and Cons at an even tie with Reform UK doubling their overall popularity in just 6 months.

All this to say I wouldn't want to suggest that the trend towards nationalist politics ended with a Labour majority but rather that the Conservative Party wasn't sufficiently nationalist enough to entice public sentiments away from Reform UK

I started going to the oil change places when I owned a car that I couldn't get at the oil filter. If I crawled under it, I could just barely touch it with my finger, but at the price of pulling a shoulder muscle. I still can't figure out how you're supposed to change the thing, but after one attempt, I was content to let someone else do it.

Yeah, I know, not very "hacker spirit" of me. But I've got a finite amount of that, and there are other places I want to spend it.
To me, it’s not a change of mentality, but a change of POV on how to think about concurrency. If everything is an actor, and you recognize it early on, you can use tech (elephant in the room is Erlang/Elixir) that might fare better overall. There’s no silver bullet ofc.
>[1] I did some crude arithmetic on the figures at https://www.sentencingproject.org/app/uploads/2022/08/Americ... and got an estimate that 108% of black men in the US have a criminal record. That seems unlikely to be correct :-)

How are you calculating the proportion of black men with criminal records? The pdf mentions that black men are 6x more likely to be incarcerated, but that's not the same as having a criminal record.

> Do you believe that AI will offer the same productivity increases as general purpose computing, electricity or iron working?

Yes, I believe it will unlock productivity at a scale done by the technologies you listed.

That said, I also believe it is incompatible with the way America is set up today.

Remember that in the era of general purpose computing, electricity and iron working, humans did not have to stick to employers for 30+ years. They could choose to not be employed and still get adequate healthcare and services.

Unfortunately, in today's America, a person is left hapless if they don't have a job. In part, due to systemic problems such as health insurance tied to employment. In part, due to prices being so high that new humans cannot reasonably survive without decent paying jobs.

With the efficiency created by AI, a large number of rich people will need to fail and lose their wealth. The prices will need to drop - this allowing new humans to take risks at lower prices. Without this, there is no productivity boost like electricity or iron works.
Well, if they evolved differently then maybe not. But they'll have the same fundamental building blocks in terms of atoms, and there's a limited amount of energetically favorable ways to slice that particular bread.

I would be surprised if we ran into any extraterrestrial life that wasn't carbon based. They may choose a different chirality but there's very little chemically as versatile as carbon carbon bonds. And based on just prevalence levels in the universe carbon-hydrogen-oxygen-nitrogen is a pretty solid bet evolutionarily.
Isn’t that just OOO? Or was there actual concurrency involved?
Never understood this critique. What is the "correct" percentage of Apple ads that should have "non-majority/mixed race people"? You seem to know, so what's the number?

What if socializing IRL is something you can practice with pro-social bots?

Or, what if depressed people find the pressure of consequences too stressful to “just go outside and make friends”, and so the realistic options are chatbot or not enough socialization?

There are obvious nuanced issues and risks here but to distill it down to a one liner like “try to socialize IRL” is myopic.
In a previous post you said that - in case of matching builds - the dev's version is used. Why is the "dev's" version relevant? And assuming I'm correct that it isn't. What is the added benefit vs. just building from source (from a known good state, e.g. by a blessed git hash)?
I like it. I believe that this path of compromise is elegant way to implement these technologies which can take a lot of space to use.

But more importantly, it can demonstrate to those who argue that solar farms are taking up fertile soil that there are alternative ways to implement solar energy without using valuable farmland.
Just read any skeptics blog to get a daily feed of such scientists. Here some examples but there's an endless stream:

Storms not getting worse: "there is no clear trend in most basins, but a significant decrease in power dissipation index has been detected in the South Indian Ocean basin since 1994, which is almost entirely due to a decrease in both tropical cyclone frequency and duration in this basin", https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01683-2

Or for more direct refutations:

Roy Spencer, climatologist, who has written entire books refuting climate change narratives: https://www.amazon.com/Global-Warming-Skepticism-Busy-People...

Judith Curry, (retired) climatologist, https://judithcurry.com/2024/05/26/fact-checking-the-fact-ch... "All things considered, planet earth is doing fine. We are obviously not facing an existential crisis. Anyone who tells you that we are, is not paying attention to the historical data. Instead, they are concerned about what “might” happen in the future, based on predictions from inadequate climate models, driven by unrealistic assumptions."

Nicola Scafetta, climatologist, https://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/09/scaffeta-on-his-lates... "The attempts of some of current climate modelers to explain and solve the failure of their GCMs in properly forecasting the approximate steady climate of the last 10 years are very unsatisfactory for any practical and theoretical purpose."

The usual response to all this is usually a No True Scotsman argument similar to the one posted by rsynnott, or a claim that "consensus" doesn't mean everyone agrees but only requires some arbitrary threshold in a carefully selected subgroup. Even there, it fails. The famous claim that 99% of climatologists agree with human-driven global warming doesn't replicate:

> It’s because many of those “Americans” do not try to integrate, want to bring their culture with them...

That's okay, more varied culture enriches, and I enjoy the added richness.

>...and have a “what’s in it for me” view of [insert anything here].

That unfortunately describes a huge share of human beings on this planet.

> The label “X-American” (replace X with a foreign country) should not exist

I disagree: I think it's totally okay for people to recognize a part of their identity (key words: a part of, since a person's identity comes from many sources), rather than being forced to hide it.

> If you identify as this you are marking yourself as different from Americans.

Each individual (Americans included) is different from all the other billions of individuals on this planet (other Americans included), and that's okay. It would be weird to try to be forced to deny that totally-okay fact. Thus, a self-described Hoosier or Floridian or Cheesehead or Californian or Plumber or Texan might differentiate themselves similarly without renouncing any "American-ness". Adding one of many possible identity labels (whether race or origin or sports team or profession etc) doesn't negate all others.

> They will push for pro Indian initiatives (see H1B abuse, etc) at the expense of Americans. Ironically, this is also the cause of the discrimination they’ll face.

Ironically, this claim is itself racist: Asserting that people of a certain race are coming to get you because of their race, and thus discrimination against that race is justified, is racist (and a tired racist trope at that).

Unfortunately though, most racists I have seen are racist simply because they feel the other race is different from them, and feel that their victims are bad and/or deserve less than themselves. I've seen racists remark with nothing less than anger and disgust at baby pictures of children of other races. Babies, dude.

For another example, I'll open up and share an unfortunate case I had with a family member when we were visiting a science museum: Upon seeing how many non-white people were there, said family member made several off-color remarks to me. But these people (many of them children) weren't abusing anything, they weren't doing anything "at the expense of Americans". They were just normal people, many of them likely citizens, learning and having a good time. Them being interested in science isn't a problem, and they weren't stopping anyone else from coming to the museum. It's just that they were disproportionately represented among the sample of Americans interested in science. Good for them, science is good.

I understand this is the general policy in a few places, like Germany. The general idea seems to be that it is more beneficial to a society if criminals are given a viable avenue to lead non-criminal lives again, with the alternative being people going "ah fuck it, I guess I'm a criminal now".

I'm surprised at this concept spreading in the US, since the system would generally benefit from having perpetual perpetrators percolating through the prison slavery system.
As all hypothetical questions about the past, it's hard to say. From the PoV of a common citizen, people were as poor before the revolution as after it. Also, the rise of Stalin and WWII add enormous noise to the equation.

In any case, the best we can do is to have a look at the countries that adopted Communism (the Eastern bloc) and compare them with their neighbors that didn't (have to). From that perspective, the answer is clear.

OTOH, if instead of Stalin Russia had a wise ruler, if instead of a police state it allowed people to explore various ideas and develop them, I bet we could see some very interesting results.
The details matter when talking about legalities. A group of cops investigating a gang that happens to have a lot of italian members is different than having a group of cops that investigates italians.
> Also: the fact that the report is about the US and you're in Ireland is very relevant; the US has a lot more arrests than Ireland.

While some of the effect may be more frequent and longer incarceration per arrest, the US (until recently being passed last year by El Salvador) has had the highest incarceration rate in the world, so its a good bet that it has a higher than typical arrest rate for the developed world, as well.
> my debate partner was expecting him to get away scot-free, impeached at worst, arguing that no laws were broken in the President's attempt

I never said this. What I may have argued is folks in the military following orders (note: not top brass) were not clearly breaking any laws so long as parliament hadn't overturned the martial law order.

> a person in power defacto declaring themselves dictator was sufficient to enact such, regardless of their popularity, particularly when reasonably enabled by law

Out of order, but I would have never said this either. No man rules alone is like rule one of politics. Rule two is the law flows from power; being legally correct and politically wrong is a historical footnote to losing power.

You can try looking things up on stack overflow where it routine for the accepted answer to have 30 comments screaming "THIS SHOULDN'T BE THE ACCEPTED ANSWER" and the accepted answer is frequently wrong. You can spend a lot of time filtering the chaff from the wheat and still get something wrong.

With the AI you are still taking its chance but unlike S.O. it is responsive to feedback and if you circle back two or three times your odds get better.

We aren't a big org and I know we spend several hundred if not thousands of USD a month on meta ads and WhatsApp business.

For larger orgs I can imagine that number is larger and we definitely get a ton of positive interaction from that. That might be swayed by demographics but I can tell you age isn't one of them because our interaction (on WhatsApp Business which is mostly where I interact with Meta products) is decently in the 20-40 range.
