>If we don’t do something about it we could lose democracy.

I love how people are still pretending like this didn't happen already. If you think there are going to be elections in 2028, you are gravely mistaken.

But as an aside, the issue isn't necessarily the wealth inequality, its the fact that the average person in US enjoys a relatively good life. This is why most of US didn't show up to vote in 2024. This creates a catch 22 situation, because people enjoy this level of life, and are going to elect leaders that will let them continue to live this way, not realizing that this is not sustainable. Which automatically makes them reject any leaders that are attempting to fix the problems that are slowly created, because those solutions means either less freedoms or less money in the short term (even if it means more money or more freedoms in the long term).

I dunno what the solution to this is really, and nobody does. You can argue that strong authoritarian control by the right coalition could fix this, but then the question becomes "how do make enough people believe that they don't deserve the freedoms that they had in order to put trust in that coalition"

Canada has its own agricultural subsidies, in fact they're almost double that of the U.S. [0]

> The OECD estimated the subsidy equivalent in 2012 (producer support estimate) in all Canadian agriculture represented 18% of the value of the industry with most of this amount going to supply managed sectors which represent only a percentage of Canadian agriculture. Critics say that this results in a "much higher effective subsidy" for supply-managed industries.

> According to Hall Findlay's 2012 study, in the European Union, the effective subsidies were 27%, with the United States at 10%, Australia (6%), New Zealand (1%), Brazil (6%), and China at 9%.

Of course a country isn't obliged to let you in. But throwing you into a for-profit prison is much worse than just refusing entry and turning you around.

Why are more people being imprisoned? Is this to meet a quota, to pump up statistics, to impress Trump's base?

Potentially it increases a probability of aliens a bit like us existing much earlier. We can be living in some ancestral simulation.

If our world becomes less unfree (that’s the main reason I think there is less than 50% probability we’re in a simulation, the world is too unfree for billions of high intelligent species to choose to live in it, even if it’s their ancestral one) and we start building simulations, it increases that probability, too.

I think the most utopian simulation is all of them in one - direction democratic multiversal simulation. Gives the most freedoms, including freedoms to temporarily forget you have some. To simulate our world for example if you’ll find enough people to join the party that is average or slightly less than average

"If the 100 richest Americans decided who was president, it would be someone like Bill Gates or Michael Bloomberg -- not Donald Trump."

That's an interesting question. I haven't seen a poll of the richest US citizens. Which is odd, considering our general obsession with wealth. I suspect that, between Harris and Trump, the 100 richest would go for Trump.

Is annexing Canada something the United States could even realistically achieve in the next four years?

Even if such an effort were attempted, any progress would likely be reversed by the next administration, assuming Democrats return to power.

Beyond that, the situation has been highly disruptive to Canada. I've witness movements like "Free Alberta" and "Alberta 51" have gained traction, while some people display pro-Trump stickers and wave U.S. flags. At the same time, others are booing the U.S. national anthem and removing American flags.

Overall, this growing division is unhealthy for Canada and has only deepened existing tensions.

Where does Perplexity Deep Research fit into this list?
It's not identical. Film and TV has one city where the vast majority of shows are produced: LA. Much easier to organize when everyone is located in the same place. Game studios are spread all over the US[0]

Nintendo isn't an American company, and Japanese have different cultural values (with tradeoffs)

> If anything, it's short-term profit-seeking that destroys industries

Im not so confident about that. For most games, you launch it once, and you get the vast majority of the revenue within one year of release. Then the next game has to be better (and cost more) than the last. I think it has less to do with short term profits (games take years to develop).

> AAA publishers like to complain that games still cost $60 after years. That's true but also the distribution is significantly higher than it was 20 years ago. You're selling way more games;

> The marginal cost of producing a game via download is essentially zero;

You lose 30% of that to the storefront, 30% on marketing, 10% on server, 5% on engine. (fun fact: the profit margin of games were higher in the 90s) [1]

> Games eventaully get much cheaper on Steam. That's a good thing. Early experiments with this showed that selling a game cheap on Steam could generate significantly more revenue than the original release. And because the marginal cost is zero, it's all profit.

No it isn't. Not when people's expectations continue to rise.

I think there's a big part of the picture being missed here. Frontend is bad because of how the industry treats frontend engineering, and web engineering overall. Companies will make engineers do way more than just focus on the code and build things properly and correctly. This is why they all gravitate towards the new, shiny library and over time the ecosystem is a huge mess of dozens upon dozens of libraries just to build something simple. They want engineers to be more like a technical entrepreneur, thinking about how to add value to the business, and this comes at the expense of building things properly and correctly.

> On a more personal note, this is frustrating to me because I think it’s a big part of why we’re seeing the web stagnate so much. I still run into lots of devs who are creative and enthusiastic about building cool things. They just can’t.

Yes, because they're not allowed to just code. It's no longer enough for the role, and the expectations include everything from talking to stakeholders, to crafting the requirements, to testing, releasing, and doing the telemetry and analyticis. Obviously nobody will have the focus or time to build anything properly this way, and they will always choose to use external libraries instead of making something from scratch that will fit the domain space and will allow full control to build something with no bugs.

It's amazing how the industry has accepted that bugs are normal, and part of building frontends, when good engineering should mean that you are able to build and ship something with almost zero bugs. The industry has changed the role and steered it away from what engineering is supposed to be, which is building things properly, and now people are scratching their heads as to why we have such bad software and everything is so complicated on the frontend.
Eh, this said google is suffering from its own popularity.

Google in the past was written by a human because that was really the only option. Once other humans figured out to how automate producing trace Google has gone downhill simply because of the bullshit asymmetry effect. Even if google was totally customer based, it would still be much worse than the past because of the total amount of crap that exists.

This is also why no other competitor just completely blows them away either.

>, the idea of learning anything related to coding through a video is extremely frustrating. It's a text medium. I want to look at things, take time, think it over, compare code, follow references, look up functions.
That people like video formats isn't really surprising to me since it's everywhere, but I still don't fully understand the appeal.

I like (some) programming videos and I'll give my perspective as someone who learned 100% from books and 3-ring binders for old languages like C/C++/C#/Javascript/Python/bash/etc. (The 1980s Microsoft C Compiler manuals were 3-ring binders.)

The newer languages I learned with a hybrid of videos + traditional books would be HTML CSS, Apple Swift, and PyTorch with the latest AI toolkits and libraries.

The extra dimension that videos offer besides plain text is the live usage of IDE, tools, troubleshooting, etc. For me, watching a dynamic screen with a moving mouse cursor and voiceover seems to activate extra neurons moreso than just reading static text in a book.

There's also a lot of "activities in-between the coding" that's helpful such as seeing the programmer looking up something in various pages of documentation, scrolling around, navigating etc.

Another useful aspect that's underappreciated is seeing the mistakes the programmer makes during the video recording. E.g. the code doesn't compile because of invalid syntax. Or a config setting is wrong and he troubleshoots what's preventing it from working. In contrast, virtually all text books or blogs of coding are "perfect happy path" outcomes. But real-world programming is messy with broken intermediate states. A lot of videos show the messy steps to get to a working state.

The videos that are not that helpful would be the videos of C++ CppCon conference sessions where there are a bunch of static slides with bullet points and the speaker just reads them aloud word-for-word.

Although I learned C++ from textbooks, I found videos of Matt Godbolt showing tips & tricks of how to use his Compiler Explorer (http://godbolt.org) very helpful.

In summary, the artifacts of coding may be the text, but the activity of coding involves a lot more than just the text and that's why some videos can enhance learning.

Search the web is apparently using SERP.

It’s just breaks my head. We’ve build LLMs that can process millions of pages at a time. But what we give them is a search engine that is optimized for humans.

Disclaimer: I might be biased as we’re kind of building the fact search engine for LLMs.
> This is being naive about the kinds of gatekeeping and social proof occurring today

You are taking one thing I said (service providers will require some form of payment or social proof to give credentials to people who want to access the service), assumed the worst possible interpretation (people will only implement the worst possible forms of social proofing), and to top it off you added something else (gatekeeping) entirely on your own.

I can not dictate how you interpret my comment, but maybe could you be a bit more charitable and assume positive intent when talking with people you never met?

This is key. Nvidia has a terrible reputation with long term support (as market leaders, they can easily afford that). Apple just now (last November) dropped OS updates for their 2014 boxes. While a Mac Studio 2025 will not be a ridiculous amount of compute power in 10 years, I fully expect Nvidia to completely abandon support and software updates for this in five years tops.

Hopefully, considering the interest it generated, I'd hope the Linux crowd will be able to carry it further, maybe with decent open-source drivers, way past the expiration date Nvidia sets.
Been listening to All-In podcast and they've been talking like this - its really amusing to see them (and this author) get excited by what are essentially taxes with a different narrative (i.e. US sovereign wealth fund, give cash to US citizens to invest in S&P, NASDAQ, crypto to give them skin in the game).

The infrastructure for this is already there, it just needs to be rebranded and given a new narrative to make it acceptable for both the billionaire class. Instead of calling it taxes and social security, redistributive policies should be rebranded as patriotic profit sharing with the US government.

The US government's job would still be to pool resources to provide educated employees for companies to hire, well functioning transportation systems for companies to use, rule of law for companies to benefit from and pensions systems/basic healthcare for company employees/retirees.

In exchange for access to this US infrastructure, US and foreign corporations operating in the US would contribute to the US Freedom Dividend which will be shared across Americans to provide a baseline standard of living and allow them to invest to have skin in the game.

To get companies and wealthy individuals to willing participate in redistributive policies it seems we just need to avoid messaging it as punitive and/or as retribution for being successful (i.e. the Elizabeth Warren/AOC approach). We need to reframe it in language they speak - patriotism and profit sharing - and reframe them as the heroes for funding all the infrastructure and not the enemies.

I think there would be mind shift among the populace if they actually had more of a clear map as well from S&P500 companies winning and their own pocketbooks benefitting.

Maybe! Eclipse Theia was a pretty great web capable editor when I gave it a spin in ~2018.

The main thing I've wanted has been collaboration. Looks like there's been some real progress on that front, as of this past fall. Definitely like the idea of multiparty IDEs, and if AI can come play in that mix that will would be interesting! Feels like AI has been a pretty solo you & the machine experience.

> We do not want to become that kind of scary country to travel to

It is too late for this. The common policy for researchers going to the US for conferences is to use a burner laptop with nothing but a PowerPoint file. That is the official requirements for public research institutions (which this person should have followed). Just like we do for China and we used to do for Russia. It does not make headlines every time, but a lot of us know a couple of people whose laptops were taken away for searching it. Personally I have also been using a burner phone for a few years (I should say that I had been, because all my scheduled trips to the US this year were cancelled).

Before, providing social media handles was a nuisance (and I was never questioned about them). Now it’s scary.

For me LLMs have basically removed any need to visit search engines. I was already not using Google due to how bad its interface had become, but I feel like LLMs at least are more efficient as an interface even if they’re still looking at the same blogspam or unresolved forum posts. My anecdotal experience though, is that I get better answers from LLMs, perhaps because I am able to give them really detailed prompts that seem to improve the answers based how specific I get. Generic search engines don’t seem to do that, in my experience.

Rice benefits from flooding for weed control (because it is unusually flood resistant), but doesn't consume a lot of water (the water from flooding is available for downstream use.)

If you want to complain about water-intenaive crops in CA, the issue is almonds, not rice.

Also, while there are parts of CA that are desert or “almost desert” (desert or semi-arid climate), the area around Sacramento is hot-summer Mediterranean.
