> It's a shame here to see you assuming bad faith. This reeks of tribalism, not objective argument.

Because your comments are bad faith.

And I’ve addressed all your other nonsense already.

What you’re not grasping is the cultural differences between our two police forces.

In America, the police go relatively unchecked. They buy ex-military hardware, lie in interrogations, literally kill their own innocent citizens because of their skin colour, and at no point face any repercussions. So laws in the US need to be water tight to prevent abuse — and even then, they still get flouted by those who should be upholding them.

Whereas Europe have a hell of a lot more checks and balances for our police forces. Bad cops get struck off. Good cops cannot place charges without approval from a whole other department, and thus not emotionally connected to the case. If police lie or exaggerate in those reports then they’re up for a plethora of serious charges themselves. So UK law often feels more ripe for abuse but that’s because we have stronger processes in place to protect against abuse.

Coming back to your original point, you don’t know the seriousness of the comments shared. We’ve already given examples about how online comments can have real and damaging physical consequences. Such as organising riots. People in the US have been charged for doing just the same thing. In the UK the law is called “hate speech” but that’s doesn’t mean that people are being investigated just for saying “I hate x”. Just like how there are multiple different names for different types of reasons and severity of killing someone, “hate speech” is just a term that covers a wide plethora of circumstances. And if — and when — those “hate speech” laws are abused, the police are raked over the coals for overreach.

So when you claim “whataboutism” what’s actually happening is I’m demonstrating the cultural differences that you seem oblivious too.

When you claim “thought crimes” you’re completely missing the nuance in these cases.

And when you’re claiming the police are abusing their powers you’re being, at best, deeply ironic. At worst, deeply ignorant.

In fact this whole argument and your single mindedness can be entirely summed up as “deeply ignorant”.

So why do UK citizens defend this claim against “thought police”? Because it literally isn’t happening. It’s just some bullshit concocted by right wing media (the same people who talk about rigged elections, “out of control immigration” and other made up bullshit) and Americans who want to feel better about their own shitty police force.
You appear to be aggressively agreeing with the person you replied to with your source.

They said the US could spend 8 Trillion a year and it would still make financial sense.

Your Mackinsey report says the whole world should spend 9.2 Trillion a year to make the transition and that it makes financial sense to do so, both due to avoided costs of climate change and that many of the things needed to transition have a positive return in investmemt anyway.

Your own contribution on top of the report just seems muddled and confused given what you've cited.

Are you saying Mackinsey are wrong and it would be cheaper to do nothing? They're very clear even in the executive summary that is not the case:

> The rewards of the net-zero transition would far exceed the
mere avoidance of the substantial, and possibly catastrophic, dislocations that would result from unabated climate change,
or the considerable benefits they entail in natural capital conservation. Besides the immediate economic opportunities they
create, they open up clear possibilities to solve global challenges in both physical and governance-related terms. These
include the potential for a long-term decline in energy costs that would help solve many other resource issues and lead to a
palpably more prosperous global economy.
That's because of joint range of motion limitations. It's different to DoF limitations which is what was being discussed.
That's incredible. Looks like they leased a building to the hostelers and it was shut down because it violated sanctions, but amazing that the $42,000 a month lease is worth it to dabble in for NK. Then again they were subletting parking spots and rooms previously, perhaps if the order is to milk any property or opportunity overseas it adds up.
The underlying principles and methods in here reminds me of Crucial Conversations and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I’m also glad to see a mention for how this can apply to personal relationships
>That presupposes leaps of improvements in battery technology and battery recycling.

No, it's just basic extrapolation of the learning curve of EVs compared to ICEs. Even if the battery stays the same price, the fact is that the battery is only ~$5000 in price out of a $30k vehicle. The other 5/6ths of the cost have room to drop. Not to mention, the battery cells might not be new but the battery pack (i.e. the big box that you put all the battery cylinders/rectangles into) is new.

>they need to drop by 90% to be cost-competitive with ICE cars.

lolwut

>the maintenance cost of a BEV is roughly $1,000 per year on battery replacement costs alone

It only works because you allow yourself to sorely disrespect human beings, their livelihood and their feeling of safety.

A strategy that seems to be hot in the US, but is an utter ethical abomination and shameful.
I think you don't have a very clear idea of what I am talking about. You cannot present electron micrographs as text. You can present individual electron micrographs as still images, but not animation. Similarly, video of elephant toothpaste can only be presented as video, even if still images can be arresting. There is no sense in which a textual description of machining techniques or a Ukrainian battlefield is a substitute for video footage of them. In 5 seconds they can convey information that no amount of linguistic description can. Sometimes that information is even true.

What I hate is when I'm trying to find such irreplaceable information and instead my search results are full of vapid stock footage and hubristic talking heads overconfidently reading a script out loud as they gaze at a video camera. It's like AI slop without the creativity.

If you mean "eat or get eaten", then there's a few early red flags that the pursuit of growth and decarbonisation concurrently may well lead us back to that idea. There's a strong correlation in politics worldwide of extreme xenophobia with climate change denial, and growth-focus with "others pollute more than us".

If you think "carbon budget" then it's compelling to grow yours at the expense of others.

What a giant scam the whole program is. Corporations need a good finding out phase again
It’s not that simple, even in a company that was as notoriously mismanaged as Twitter. When he came in with his trusted lieutenants from SpaceX and Tesla, they had some sort of game plan to data mine HR databases, corporate email and so on. If I were to guess, Palantir must be involved somehow. Probably the same playbook they are applying at DOGE right now.

In comparison, the “RTO to make people quit so we don’t have to pay severance” model of JPM, Amazon and others is a blunt instrument that is as likely to cause top performers to flee.

Rail works just fine in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia. It's not great, but it's still cheaper than cars.

Besides, if you care about costs then suburbs/exurbs are fundamentally uneconomical in general - most of the cost of housing comes from the land, of which suburbs are fundamentally wasteful. Literally everything there is (relatively) uneconomical, and is only widespread because the alternative is literally illegal.
When you query some APIs/scrape sites for personal use, it is unlikely you get throttled. Openai doing it at large scale for many users might have to go slower (they have tons of proxies for sure, but don't want to burn those IPs for user controlled traffic).

Similarly, their inference GPUs have some capacity. Spreading out the traffic helps keep high utilization.

But lastly, I think there is just a marketing and psychological aspect. Even if they can have the results in one minute, delaying it to two-five minutes won't impact user retention much, but will make people think they are getting a great value.
Just yesterday I did my first Deep Research with OpenAI on a topic I know well.

I have to say I am really underwhelmed. It sounds all authoritative and the structure is good. It all sounds and feels substantial on the surface but the content is really poor.

In terms of distribution or fitting in, this is not unique to you or this moment in time. Art has always been this way, even worse back in the day of having to get a painting in the Salons in Paris where it was judged by a few people. It's actually more common for this to be the case, as a truly unique idea doesn't fit in the the critics opinion of "art" ex. painters who only get famous years after death.

There are not many things in life that you can just "be good at" and the world unlocks. Even as an athlete, something very meritocratic, you have to convince someone to hire you onto a team and if you don't do it the correct way (college -> NBA/NFL) no one will care because you're not in the right "circles"

Unless it's the same price or cheaper as regular concrete, it will be used by literally nobody. No nation has the balls to mandate something like that when there's a billion real estate lobbyists telling them otherwise either.

Shipping uses the lowest quality, cheapest possible fuels that are borderline impossible to compete with, ships are large investments that last 30 years and nobody wants to spend money retrofitting them with a new powertrain. Note how solar in general was basically a rounding error in terms of usage until it became cheap enough to actually displace existing alternatives.

All of these technologies have 50 years of dev time to practical scale and cost competitive effectiveness in them at best, so they can almost be considered a fantasy along with net energy gain fusion for any kind of notable impact beyond pilot projects.
Yeah, baseless accusations of fraud just to hide own incompetence ...

It's all because the country lacks foreign reserves.

Every time OpenAI comes up with a new product, and a new interaction mechanism / UX and low and behold, others copy the same, sometimes leveraging the same name as well.

Happened with ChatGPT - a chat oriented way to use Gen AI models (phenomenal success and a right level of abstraction), then code interpreter, the talking thing (that hasnt scaled somehow), the reasoning models in chat (which i feel is a confusing UX when you have report generators, and a better ux would be just keep editing source prompt), and now deep research. [1] Yes, google did it first, and now Open AI followed, but what about so many startups who were working on similar problems in these verticals?

I love how openai is introducing new UX paradigms, but somehow all the rest have one idea which is to follow what they are doing? Only thing outside this I see is cursor, which i think is confusing UX too, but that's a discussion for another day.

[1]: I am keeping Operator/MCP/browser use out of this because 1/ it requires finetuning on a base model for more accurate results 2/ Admittedly all labs are working on it separately so you were bound to see the similar ideas.

> The US's GDP isn't based on the amount of bloat in its government. Sure spending finds its way into the economy, but tax dollars saved also will.

"Bloat" presumes. "Tax dollars saved" would only be relevant — still incorrect, but relevant — if you were matching tax cuts with spending cuts, rather than trying to balance budgets.

If the USA balances its budget in a way that *somehow* has no side-effects, the GDP shrinks 7% just from that cut alone — but these cuts do have side effects so it is worse than that.

And doing using layoffs as a discovery mechanism is going to have Chesterton-fence type mistakes, where you only find what's wrong when the stuff you stop paying for is maintenance whose absence takes a while to become visible to non-domain experts. Dams will fail and flood valleys, bridges will fall into rivers, that kind of thing has gotten into the news in other countries when maintenance was forgotten.

The infrastructure that your government is responsible for is the backbone upon which the wealth of the rest of your country is built. You can eliminate the entire Federal Highway Administration and Joe Average won't notice anything for nearly a year… but if and when you do hire them back, you may have to hire back a lot more than you fired just to catch up with the damage done.

And so it goes for many other aspects of your country. CDC's also in the news now. OK, until you get your next pandemic… oh, wait, you're already having one. Nukes? You won't notice the problem until other governments no longer fear your nuclear deterrent. Armed forces in general? British didn't see any problem with shrinking their forces until the Russian invasion of Ukraine and realising how close they were to not being able to defend themselves if invaded. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration? Getting rid of that means a lot of companies can get away with skipping safety processes, so it might even seem like the economy goes up… until you get some equivalent of the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal.

> As for Twitter/X - the goal isn't revenue but profit, and Twitter was not in a good shape before Elon.

They made a profit in two of the years before he took over; an 84% revenue decline means that the company cannot even service the debt he saddled the company with during the purchase, even if he fired all remaining staff and reduced server, utility, real estate, and insurance, and all other costs to zero.

> Musk recently noted they are barely breaking even now, and the recent sale of X debt was just above original pricing.

Do you trust him?

According to this link, they sold more of their debt than they were expecting to, for more than expected to, but it was still less than they paid for it.

Going from $1b to $5.5b and from 90¢/$ to 97¢/$ is less bad rather than good.

Apparently you need to use the friction brakes now and then so they don’t degrade early, which could be a safety issue. I think as long as you’re using the car frequently it’s incredibly unlikely to be a problem though.
