I didn't post a fake quote. I pasted a quote that two sites -- one of which is nearly a direct copy of the other -- claim is fake.

Do you disagree that fascism leans heavily into corporatism? Surely you realize that's the point here, right? If your entire argument is "I don't believe that Mussolini actually wrote that" then we have nothing to discuss.

If no one works no one pays income taxes; this is one reason why I mentioned sales taxes in another comment. Income taxes are complicated to administer and a bad incentive structure anyway.

Traditionally, sales taxes have been considered regressive because they are linear; you can't bracket them like income taxes, so they heavily burden the most poor. But a UBI is progressive enough that a flat sales tax to fund it should still leave society more equal.
You don’t have to break the deal, just serve notice.

A bit of googling on this agreement shows that there is a 5 year notice clause, so they can just serve notice now if they want. No need to pay anyone off.

I think that’s misunderstanding the point they’re making. It’s not talking about knives, it’s talking about knife recipes. As in, “I use the pairing knife to cut the salmon” which is definitely similar to “I use HTML to write my blog”.

Maybe if it was a unique, special pairing knife, sure. That could be a real conversation. But it’s just a normal pairing knife. You’re just announcing you make the thing, with the other thing that makes the first thing.
I guess you can use a third party like archive.org, if the blog is crawled by it, the owner doesn't get them to delete it, and there is no politically motivated revisionism going on based on the archive.org maintainers.

I would be suspicious of a reasonably popular blog claiming to have predicted stuff and not being able to back that up with an archive.org capture (or raw scraper data), though I guess it is somewhere where storing a hash on a blockchain may offer some benefits for edge cases.
Unlikely to have any effect on the scale they describe. The first part of the power balance of our planet is the solar radiation that is intercepted by the surface of Earth. The theoretical maximum additional power added to it by these sats is going to be equivalent to the solar radiation intercepted by their mirrors. Guess how much bigger the surface of Earth is compared to those mirrors.

One important thing to note is that the climate change is not caused by the heat we released into the atmosphere. It's due to the change in the power equilibrium of the Earth caused by the greenhouse gases we released.
> Never ever do a return with Chinese sellers, they will use it against you and you will lose your chance to dispute the transaction.

Well - that’s not my experience!

Case 1
Packages lost, no track’n’trace one vendor sent order once more for no charge, another om gave a 50% discount

Case 2
Product defect, returned it and later received the refund (matching their t&c)

Case 3 (different, but shows customer service is working as expected)
Wrong item received
Full refund received

In all cases I initiated a dialog, not just posted a bed review (‘keeping the leverage’)

So maybe SOME Chinese shops misbehave, but for sure US and EU shops are similar…

It doesn't really help a short staffed organization when people don't show up or show up randomly. You'll have 15 people one day and 0 another day. If it's ski patrol that'll highly correlate to 15 people on the blue bird powder day when you need 8, and almost no one will get hurt so you only need people to open and close the hill. And 0 on the skiied out icy day when you have 5x the injurys as you have staff on the hard conditions and you don't have time for lunch or bathroom brakes.

Also do you want someone binding up your kids broken arm or dislocated shoulder who doesn't know what they're doing, then taking them down a mogul covered black that they couldn't handle themselves with their weight and the toboggans weight with no practice? edit: removed worse injuries I've seen, I think I made my point.

I’ve had really good luck building micro-SaaS up to a certain point of complexity, and beyond what a coding assistant will do.

A lot of the problems you describe are due to the need to provide adequate context, project details, and rules in your prompt.

Claude will generate files it doesn’t think already exist, and in a SaaS project, you have many files.

Claude will struggle with syntax and proper usage of library/module/package versions beyond its training data. You have to provide your project with knowledge to work around this.

Lastly you will hit usage limits while working on projects because it’s a fixed cost offering. You can track and generate a project status to pass on to the next agent. This works “ok” and when I hit my sonnet limit I use haiku to bug and type fixes.

Bottom line, an out of the box chatbot is a great playground to flush out your techniques, but most software projects have complexities which must be managed in a separate system designed to manage all the details and break down the project into hundreds or thousands of individual tasks.

I want this magic wand too, but you have to build that yourself (or buy it when it becomes available). It’s been a fascinating learning process.

They could just exit using the clauses in the agreement though, like the one they have seems to have a 5 year notice clause.

There is but it has a 5 year notice period that can be enacted.

I think you mix two types of employees. There is nothing wrong with being a 9-5 guy. Doesn’t mean they don’t inform themselves on HN etc.

Your example sounds more like the type who just does what they’re told and nothing more. I don't know if this type would benefit from a conference or if a learning course wouldn't be more suitable.
I think this could be life-changing for cities at high latitudes. You wouldn't even need that much: simple twilight-levels of illumination would a long way towards helping people's psychology and quality-of-life in winter.

A key thing that would make this easier than it'd naively seem, is that human perception of ambient light levels (like many kinds of human sense) is sort-of logarithmic. Twilight is just 10^{-5} – 10^{-4} the illumination level of sunlight,

(That is, to my naive first take: a 100 x 100-meter collector in orbit intercepts enough sunlight to bring a 10km x 10km city to bright twilit level).

>I certainly voted for him and by extension Musk/DOGE, as did the majority of American voters

Given the approval ratings even in the beginning, I don't think as many Trump voters knew he was a package deal. Or thought he'd be more of a spokesperson at best. Even during election night his approval rating was only 46%, the supposed peak of honeymoon.

>If that were the case Trump and his policies would not have been voted in.

Well "take down the treasury" was defiitely not part of his campaign. I believe he focused on the Dept. of Education at best (but I think that also came about more post-election night). He mostly focused on lowering grocery prices and ending inflation based on my conversations with everyman republicans (not the elites; their goals are fairly obvious).

>Also worth noting, the core of "institutions every citizen relies on" which is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are exempt (for now) from the cutting and slashing as promised during the campaign.

Given the level of tax cuts he wants to give to corporate tax (the one Trump was most specific about), I don't think they truly are. Those tax cuts alone are projected to cost us 100-200 billion. SS/Medicare/Medicaid make up some 40% or so of 2024's 6.75 trillion dollar federal budget (that doesn't even include Healthcare budgets).

It doesn't pass the sniff test. Either they are cutting defense spending (unthinkable), gonna cut off SS/Medicare/aid, or we're gonna balloon our deficit. All these stunts of slashing smaller departments like the DoE and mass laying off federal workers aren't going to cut it. All educational budgeting (not just the DoE) totals to 52b dollars, for reference.

He could always lie and end up raising taxes to make up for giving billionaires more money, too.

I don’t understand much about transmission lines as an industry, but I really have never understood why California allows what seems like essentially a duopoly to manage its electrical grid, especially around its major population centers like LA and SF. The rates aren’t low, they’re routinely linked to natural disasters, and they’re slow to respond to customer complaints.

It seems as absurd to me as if one single company were to own all of a city’s water pipe infrastructure. Maybe that’s actually common too, I just don’t understand why. If it’s simply because municipalities sold them off long ago for short-term windfalls, my next question is why we as a state allow that, in the same sense that we don’t allow selling state parks without major hullabaloo.

Granted, I’m covered by LADWP, the nation’s largest municipal water and power utility that even predates this form of the city’s government itself, and I’ve really only had outstanding service with them (I noticed a small leak with a water main forming a minor puddle on a side street and within an hour someone was out there fixing it), so I guess I am wondering what the case for privatized utilities even is.

Could someone who knows better than I please explain why the state or local municipalities don’t/can’t manage their grid?
> Yes, the people in power are taking legal actions to challenge inefficiency or waste, and if you disagree with the policies or the conduct of those in office, the established rules and courts are the means to bring about change.

> the proper channels of accountability

Who is exactly is accountable to what is happening right now? Musk? Hahaha. There is zero accountability, transparency, or oversight in what is happening.

> people are in a cult

It's not an assumption. When people follow someone or a group to a religious extreme that is a cult. Everything Trump or now Musk does is somehow explained away in a very 'we were always at war with Eurasia' way. This list is really never-ending, but Trump was going to lower prices (the eggs!) and now he says they are going to go up. MAGA's are about backing the blue, unless Trump is pardoning people who beat police officers. What about Hilary's emails on a private server, but it's ok that Musk loading confidential government data to who knows where. Can you believe Hunter is on the board of a company and may be profiting off his families name? Forget about Trump coin, Kushner getting billions from the Saudis, the list goes on. And it highlights that MAGA doesn't really have any views other than 'our team good, their team bad'.

It's wild to me that people are that into someone like Trump or Musk. I'm not into anyone like that except maybe my family. When Trump said he could shoot someone in the street and people would still follow him, he was right. That also means it's a cult. What would they have to do for you to say throw them in jail?

• It uses a WebGPU-based reranker model and BM25 without requiring an API key or user registration.
• Since no external servers are used, there’s no risk of personal data exposure.
• It’s a fully open-source project, allowing you to review the source code and contribute.
Nicely said, but I think then we are in agreement that Newtownian mechanics has a bit of redundancy that can be removed by switching to a Lagrangian framework, no? I think that's a situation where Occam's razor can be applied very cleanly: if we can make the exact same predictions with a sparser model.

Now the other poster has argued that science consists of finding minumum complexity explanations of natural phenomena, and I just argued that the 'minimal complexity' part should be left out. Science is all about making good predictions (and explanations), Occam's razor is more like a guiding principle to help find them (a bit akin to shrinkage in ML) rather than a strict criterion that should be part of the definition. And my example to illustrate this was Newtonian mechanics, which in a complexity/Occam's sense should be superseded by Lagrangian, yet that's not how anyone views this in practice. People view Lagrangian mechanics as a useful calculation tool to make equivalent predictions, but nobody thinks of it as nullifying Newtownian mechanics, even though it should be preferred from Occam's perspective. Or, as you said, the physics content is the same, but the complexity of the description is not, so complexity does not factor into whether it's physics.

Having used Starlink a couple of times recently while travelling (think rural accommodations and the like such as rural areas of New Zealand and the Samoa islands) I've not been impressed with it. In every single case my 4G phone had better service from the local cellco (even where it was 1, bar of service) than Starlink. Don't get me wrong, Starlink is great when it is the only option. But I keep seeing it deployed in places there are other better options in including fibre, xDSL, 4G/5G, etc. It seems the hype for Starlink is very real, and lay people are sucked into thinking it's the best thing since sliced bread when it's not the only option (and actually not the best option). A great example is my current holiday accommodation is literally within 5G coverage and probably can easily get xDSL (if not fiber optic) but no, they go with Starlink... So damn shifty I gave up after a few days and now use a local LTE 4G provider instead at my own cost.

It is a terrible point. Emacs and vim have been around for 'how' long and they are still niche and difficult to use.

VSCode made it better, especially with LSPs. Make all the terrible arguments you want. Still does not change that before more people used the Windows only VS Studio and now they can use the (mostly free) VSCode on Linux. Whatever attempt Microsoft is making to embrace Linux to prevent a possible dev shift they are still cannibalizing their VS Studio sales to do so and Vim/Emacs still does not offer a good response to Code.
