Yes and no. Needs to be big to be effective, I agree.

But, I saw on a documentary of FIFA corruption that one guy making millions in (I think NY) didn’t file taxes for over ten years, maybe twenty. I didn’t know it was possible until then.

Interesting. Has Ladybird solved memory bugs somehow, or is the situation going to be the usual constant security vulnerabilities and frequent security updates?

I have mixed feelings about Rust, but it's one way to improve the current culture of tolerating numerous memory defects in C and C++ desktop application programs and userland libraries. So that would be a point in Servo's favor, unless they've Rusted themselves into a borrowing/lifetimes/async development complexity corner that makes moving forward too slow.
I concur and can easily see this occurring in several areas, for example with Linux troubleshooting. I recently found myself going down a rabbit hole of ever-increasing complicated troubleshooting steps with command that didn't exist, and after several hours of trial and error, gave up after considering the next steps brick-worthy of the system..

Dgg'ing google is still a better resort despite the drop in quality results.
The main need for this comes from the rise of China. Specifically, its rise in economic power and military capabilities make is so that 1) the US is no longer able to deter both Russia and China combined, but needs to prioritize China (its main geopolitical rival) and 2) Russia can openly engage in armed conflict without the fear of Western sanctions, as China will keep Russia's economy afloat (mainly via purchase of energy).

With Trump back in the White House there is an additional motivation for EU countries to up their military spending; at best the US is now viewed as a less reliable ally (that may or may not help in the face of conflict), at worst the US will align itself with autocratic regimes to divide up the world in their respective spheres of influence and actively undermine the EU.

So if you accept the premise that democracy (and the liberal, rule-based world order) is worthwhile defending, increased military spending of EU countries is in fact a "good thing" (as in, better than the alternative of submitting to imperialistic authoritarian neighbors).
My only point in this is that, to the extent it exists, the housing affordability problem in Chicagoland is not primarily driven by availability of land. If it was we’d just do what we did in the past and make more.

It’s driven far more by history and public policy and the ugly confluence of those 2 things.
In top down orgs, no product manager care would blink a the at wasting time on security.

Your arguments is maybe the deal was corrupt so why does it matter if the new deal is 100% corrupt because there was an unrelated deal made that was competitive in the past.

It does not matter at all if they do a good job or a bad job, it's naked corruption that enriches someone for purely corrupt reasons. Then he has more money to corrupt government.
What is the alternative you're proposing here? Russia has nukes. Your hubris will lead you to despair and either endless war or at least one nuclear bomb taking out a city. I'm not trying to be "american", I'm trying to be rational.

> Homeowners know this statement is not true.

> If your neighbor's house goes up in price, yours is likely to go up too, all else being equal.

Sure, if you're zoomed into a neighborhood scale. That wasn't my argument though, scale matters.

If your neighborhood sees an increase in value one across town could pretty easily see theirs go down. If your city goes up because it became more desirable for any number of reasons, other cities must be less desirable and seeing values go down.

We don't have unlimited demand for real estate. Buying real estate mostly in debt buffers the zero sum game somewhat, we have a finite pool of buyers but they aren't directly limited by a finite pool of money.

> I wonder if Trump is a KGB asset.

It's easy to read into his parroting of putin's talking points as deliberate, but I think it might just be "wannabe mobster" talk. If anything it's probably a little more nuanced than uncle vlad pulling the puppet strings, but they sure do seem awful friendly..

I think it's risky to ascribe any real agency or planning to trump. He's a very simple creature, and he wears his cravings and impulses on his sleeve. I'm much more worried about the thinking people operating in his chaotic wake.

Piketty’s argument was not just that income inequality would increase, but that it would increase because the return on capital is greater than the growth rate of the economy, so, in his words, "It is almost inevitable that inherited wealth will dominate wealth amassed from a lifetime's labor by a wide margin".

But inherited wealth does not dominate wealth amassed from a lifetime's labor. The largest fortunes today are dominated by people who built businesses, not by people who inherited their wealth. So if "there are fewer than 1,000 billionaires and the vast majority of them are self-made", that is a direct refutation of Pikkety's thesis.

It is hard to overstate just how bad Pikkety's arguments are. His argument assumes single inheritance of fortunes, it assumes that wealthy people don't donate significant sums to charity, it assumes that inheritors of wealth will invest that wealth as wisely as the person who created it, along with many, many other false assumptions. The most egregious one in my opinion is that it assumes the wealthy don't spend their money.

If a billionaire makes a 5% return on his billion dollars and spends $50 million dollars a year, does wealth inequality increase? No, it does not.

It's a ridiculous theory, it is directly contradicted by the facts, and I have no idea why it is taken seriously by people here other than just as an opportunity to participate in a 2 minutes hate against rich people.

It was frustrating to apply for jobs, with no rejection emails and no updates, not knowing whether to keep waiting or move on. The plan is to answer questions like:

2. How long does it usually take to hear back?

If you can’t tolerate emotional and tactical appeals from a foreign leader for support in a public meeting without falling apart and castigating them, you’re probably not fit to lead our country. This sort of behavior doesn’t befit a parent or even a middle manager, let alone the leader of the free world.
Yes - Iraq was under false pretenses. The US should never have gone to any of those places. Afghanistan was in response to 9/11. The rest is just adventurism that needs curbing.
That would already be the rational choice, if it was. There are countries with lower taxes, yet the economic activity isn't flocking to them.
Well that’s certainly the opinion, but the point is that no evidence has been presented to support it.
Smart watches other than Apple's work with Apple's phones (I gave the example of Garmin). How is that restricting competition?

And even if Apple is restricting competition (by somehow not allowing Garmin and others to work with their phones even though they do...), they're restricting themselves to about 30% of global market share for smart watches since their watches do not work with Android devices. So if they're restricting competition, then they're doing it in a way which limits their ability to capture the larger market with their watches since if anyone makes a decent competitor they can sell it to the billions of people who aren't using Apple's phones.

The fact that no one has made a compelling alternative to capture that larger global market that Apple is ignoring seems like an issue with the competitors, not with Apple.

With Claude the context window is quite small. But with adding too much context it often seems to get worse. If the context is not carefully narrowly picked and too unrelated, the LLMs often start to do unrelated things to what you've asked.

Evangelical American Zionism hates Jewish people with a thin facade of support. A disturbingly large amount of Americans believe that it's prophecy and God's will that the Middle East be "cleansed in fire" and that Israel's role as the Jewish state is an essential part of the plan. It is the same support a farmer offers to pigs when they fill their trough with slop. They want Israel so they can see its destruction through nuclear war.

It is a disgusting viewpoint and essential to understanding American Zionist support of Israel. My (lifelong far-right conservative jack-Mormon) father shared this with me 25 years ago.

Agreed. Dogs & 4 year olds & LLM's all have general intelligence. Defining "AGI" to mean "superhuman intelligence" seems ridiculous to me. The Turing test was the standard benchmark for so long, but now that an LLM can pass the Turing test we've moved the goal posts.

This feels like another designed distraction -- designed to impact real human lives, as humans are only cannon fodder to Trump and co -- that'll either be clawed back or wallow in legal limbo throughout Trump's presidency. I'd like to think there's an enormous backlash coming in the form of mid terms and maybe other things but it's hard to set realistic expectations these days when it comes to American politics

The author's adoption of Elon Musks's irritating "deleted" lingo is quite a vibe though.
Not.
Access to impulse reduction via medication is problematic and will be isolated in the US to those who, frankly speaking, probably do not spend at a meaningful rate compared to their asset (wealth) standing. It’s a brilliant observation though that if “something got in the water supply” and en masse consumer behavior changed, then absolutely the ripple would be astounding to watch. I still recall standing in a field outside Alliance airport watching Amazon cargo jets landing at basically 30 minute intervals and thinking “all that stuff and this system doesn’t make economic sense” and I for one eagerly await a…let’s just call it…recalibration.
I'd jokingly say "Can you automate authentic human connection?" but I wager we're about 2 years away from a million people granting power of attorney to their apple body pillows so I'm going to take it for granted that your claim is completely true to all extremes.
Fair to say for an adult.
I think you may have misunderstood my statement.

Yes, you can cushion people from the effect of trauma as it's happening, by providing resources at or soon after the point of trauma.

But your epigenome is a record (almost exclusively) of stuff that was observed during your development — it's a log, not a state database.

A particular epigenome-affecting gene process would look like: "when I was -6 months old, a process kicked off that began expressing a gene. This gene caused the expression of a protein that acted to detect whether there was enough magnesium in my blood or not. It detected that there was enough — and so the protein recorded [by not methylating anything] that I shouldn't silence any of the copies of the magnesium-transporter in my intestinal-lining tissue cells. Then, the buildup of the protein caused the expression of another gene, which methylated [silenced] the first gene, permanently deactivating this magnesium detection step from happening again."

Which means that trauma during early development — if it is not cushioned at the time, such that its impact is felt fully* — will lead to some epigenome-affecting process that looks for "impact of trauma" observing said trauma as happening at the time it activates, and so recording it. That record, within the cell-line descending from the cell that made that observation, is now permanent; that tissue will now do whatever it does with that knowledge, from then on, for the rest of the organism's life.

Treating the trauma later, will help the organism psychologically, but will not change those markers (and whatever biological effects they have), because they are markers of "what was at a certain point", not "what is."

No, the conclusion is they’re never “smart”. All they do is regurgitate text which resembles a continuation of what came before, and sometimes—but with zero guarantees—that text aligns with reality.

In my entire office, there's one overweight person that I know. Out of thousands of employees. There could be more, and other cities might be different, but you get the idea.

The author intentionally or mistakenly applies some numbers to whole populations.

Keep chaining impacts while eliminating small coefficients, your end result will be off by more than a few orders of magnitude.

EDIT: I need to be more clear about my point: My BigTech office does not represent my country stats: Canada has a 26% obesity and 36% overweight adult population. Just taking those numbers, applying them to all populations is wrong.

The analysis is wrong in other subtle but important ways as well. A 25% increase in performance of an allegedly low performing group of a company would not increase the overall company's efficency as much.
I guess I'm not sure what your point is. If you understand "thinking" to be a highly advanced capability that millions or billions of people can't do, sure, perhaps it's true that GPT-4 is not "thinking" in that sense. Most people understand the term to be more broad than that. If a four year old tries really hard to compute 4 + 16, I'd definitely say they're "thinking" about it, even if they don't get the right answer or make some silly mistake I can easily point out.

New York Times wrote [1] a pretty extensive expose on how the government takeover has happened. Basically Musk started infiltrating the government with his agents a couple of years ago so by the time inauguration happened he had access to all the passwords.

Regardless of the history of the condition or how the original diagnostic criteria were developed it's widely accepted that ADHD is a neurological (neurodevelopmental) disorder -- i.e. not a psychological one.
For the record, to fill in the gaps, ADD and ADHD were treated as separate but related conditions for some time, but eventually were merged under ADHD (in DSM IV?) a bit like that other spectrum disorder.

> This is the reason why ADHD isn't the same as other mental health issues, because it was empirically determined instead of finding an actual issue

No, it's not. ADHD isn't the same as other "mental health issues" because it's a different one to the other ones.

> none of them were told by the doctors what the plan was to remove them off of it. None. Without any guidance on how my child gets off ADHD medication or a reevaluation whether they need it, how can I trust the initial diagnosis?

I don't see the logic here. Trust in the diagnosis stems from trust in the diagnostician.
You try it and see if it helps (if you think it could)? If it helps keep using it. If it doesn't work, try something else (medication or not). If there are unwanted side effects, balance the pros and cons.

Stimulants for ADHD aren't like 80s cartoon drug pusher pills. They also aren't like SSRIs et al. or lithium or anti-psychotics or something where there is pressure from the medical people to stay on it (or get put away).
That's why I first read the comments to decide if it's worth my time.
