This is a very strange view of it. Anarchism is extremely far from liberalism. "Anarcho-capitalists" are more or less just extreme libertarians, they share no history or ideology with any other anarchist movements, no other anarchist movements recognize them as anarchists.

The far left and the far right are not the same either where do you even get that! A far left party in the american context is something like democratic socialism, or sure why not actual marxist-leninism. While the far right is proud boys, groypers, literal neonazis, christian integrationists. You may have equal distaste for both but that doesn't mean they share anything else.
I am not a specialist; but isn't that the most "green" policy ever ? I mean:

- Tariffs will increase the price of virtually everything -> By law of supply and demand; global trade and production will decrease, leading to less CO2 production

- This effect will be stronger for stuff coming from far away (little for Canda / Mexico; more for EU; huge for China). So companies will have a tendency to rely on local producer (even at a higher price). This again will lower transoceanic shipping. Other countries will probably retaliate so this effect will go both for inbound and outbound shipping. Again; less CO2 production

- More money for the government. There more stuff you buy, the more tariffs you pay, so rich pay more than poors. Which again is what green parties are looking for.

I might be very wrong about this; I am not a Trump supporter in any way - and to be honest I ma not a fan of green parties either - but my initial reaction is that if we look at the conclusion of the policies; the results are looking to align quite well. Of course the surrounding storytelling is extremely different; which puzzles me a bit.
This comment is good, yet it also reflects a lot of what I dislike about political discourse online.

You've identified a potential severe negative consequence of a change or new policy, but you write as if this is a guaranteed logical corollary and there is no scenario where this consequence does not materialize. This creates an alarmist rather than genuine and analytical tone.

Describing tariffs as a "decapitation strike" feels hyperbolic and even perhaps conspiratorial. Saying this guarantees Chinese hegemony is exaggerated and ignores all the other equally (if not more) significant factors influencing both American and Chinese trajectories. Applying Dalio's broad thesis to tariffs specifically is a stretch -- tariffs may exacerbate tensions Dalio describes, but they aren't necessarily the coup de grace to hegemony.

Basically, you're highlighting real risks and issues, but packaging them in language that overstates their likelihood and doesn't take into account any other factors at play simultaneously. If your goal is to paint a doomsday picture of the future, this works well. If your goal is to understand the impact of tariffs on the world, there's too much emotion and speculation and not enough hard analytical work here.
Cool, thanks. Will keep an eye on it.

I've not been able to read your blog with my personal news reader so I was hoping to implement that.
Can someone ELI5 how reinforcement learning works with transformer based architecture?
Not at all. Im more of an all rounder. I just like to see people matched to tasks which suit their temperament and talent.

I hate seeing people who would rather be doing customer interaction half heartedly refuctoring while people who live and breathe code sit on customer calls bored out of their minds.

I also feel a little disgusted at seeing talent wantonly squandered unnecessarily.
I was just thinking about this and I'll bet you anything that Trump is 100% hung up on the word "deficit" and that's about it. If we said "net importer" or "goods taker" or something like that we would not be in this situation.

TL:DR; I used Claude to create a trading strategy. I then optimized the trading strategy using a genetic algorithm. The result is a strategy that outperforms the market by 3x. It has a better return, better risk-adjusted return, AND a lower drawdown.
Under the hood would reveal that we think in terms of concepts, attributes, space-time experience etc, and that language is just a means of serializing that conceptual understanding. We do not think in language.
half the things I am asking........ what? what?
I think there sadly exists an overlay in a lot of politics, basically tribalism, but I think the better phrasing is "teams" as in "team sports".

You don't like a team for an ideological reason, usually physical closeness or some other arbitrary connection.

For many, the team is the extent at which they analyze politics. You see this when conservatives will reference historical events in terms of the name of the political party. For example, it's relatively common to see someone say "Oh the Democrats are bad because during the Civil war they were on the side of slavery". Their analysis doesn't include the actual policy or ideology at hand, it's simply the team "Democrats". It doesn't matter to them if the flavor of policies that the early 20th century dems supported are similar or even the same as the policies modern Republicans support. Only the team.

I think there exists multiple layers of "tribalism" or "team sports" in politics that effects people differently. The bottom layer is sadly "<Name of party> good, <name of other party> bad". I think at some point we must acknowledge that some people are simply stupid. If they think making an argument based on the politics of a party 100 years ago is convincing, they might just not have the facilities for critical thinking.

A lot of those people are now @-ing grok on twitter to explain even the simplest of jokes.
The entirety of this scheme, in its soft and hard power forms, was financed by the parasitic impoverishment of the US populace. Everything the commenters on this site complain about: Runaway inflation, unaffordable housing, extreme financialization, excessive military budget, enrichment of the top, unaffordable healthcare, unjustifiable wars, all of it has partial or total roots in the money printing, artificially low interest rates, colossal trade deficits, and military adventurism that underpin the global US dollar reserve scheme.

I think it apt to boil it down to a binary choice: Either we give up our global empire and allow the multipolar paradigm to emerge for the chance at domestic prosperity, or we grip the iron to the bitter end and force the entire country to become the dystopic open-air homeless cities of the west coast.
In addition, there are TLS downgrade attacks that can trick a client into using SSL or a less secure cipher suite. Clients (and servers) can also prevent this, but it’s the classic long tail of vulns where it may mean blocking older clients, which might include third parties or abandoned automation.
That's hyperbole at best, especially given that places like itch.io and GoG exist.

CDPR also puts all of their games DRM free from release on GoG - including The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Some of that so-called activism seems to be closer to suppressing any thoughts someone dislikes. Removing that from university life is not cool, that „activism“ itself went off the rails too.
While there is a lot of good thoughts about what the democrat party did wrong to lose the last election. I feel your comment places all the blame on them. They did not force republicans to go down this road. This is not the inevitable outcome of a broken democrat party. The republicans went down this road, and so did their voters. They chose this, many times. There were many opportunities for the republican party to rid itself of this ideology but they chose power.

So yes, the democrat party has had many failings over the past decade if not more, but that doesn't make this a binary choice between Trumpian policies and democrat failings.

In economic terms, its a transfer from consumers of cheap goods to producers.
People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, generally. It's actually baffling how other AAA game studios release games at full price in a buggy state, then are heavily discounted months later with enough patches for them to finally be playable. I don't like how Nintendo games rarely get decent discounts but I understand why they're preserving the image that their games are worth the price.

This is neither here nor there, but you can emulate a good amount of Switch games on the Steam deck which I find pretty comical. Better hardware was sorely needed.
This will unleash a golden era of local manufacturing and industry!

Good one. Trump doesn't want anyone to be able to point to any deficit in anything Trump is in charge of :)
Why is that the best option instead of raising wages until those jobs are attractive to domestic workers? There's this weird back and forth where people bemoan stagnating wages for the working class but at the same time cheer on importing labor that is willing to work for those stagnant wages.

In any other market, the balance of supply and demand is reflected in the price. But for the labor market the perpetual solution put forward seems to be juicing the supply side so that the price does not move up to a new equilibrium.
I agree with the thrust of your point, that a tiny handful of games have their own gravity field which lets them ignore the titan that is Steam.

But nit: that's not what "exception that proves the rule" means. An example of that saying is a sign that says "no parking 2-4pm", which proves that there is a rule that you can park any other time. WoW, Fortnite, CoD, Minecraft, those are just "exceptions".
Have I missed the reports of all of these people being charged with fraud?
Why would it have to be that way? Are you imagining a monopoly on all locally produced goods? Why wouldn't there be competition with a healthyish margin? Seems entirely and 100% cynical.
There may have been a hint of strategy at one time. But the sheer level of gross incompetence coming from every side of this administration does not really lead one to believe that "global 4d chess trade war" is within the actual abilities of this administration to grasp.
I've had some bags of liberica recently and it is very interesting. A lot of vanilla, overshadowing all other flavors. I prefer arabica, but I am also 100% for ending the arabica/robusta monocrop in favor of more coffee species. It certainly enriches coffee culture!

No. It’s an implicit rule. You don’t get to language lawyer.

> One example is Factorio, that is cheaper on factorio.com

Just checked, $35 on both.

Valve would only allow a dev to sell a game on their website for a lower price so long as the game sales numbers were not a threat to Steam. If Factorio sold very less on its website and suddenly 90% of sales were direct Valve would not be pleased and there would be consequences.
It's true in a sense - using an iPhone or an Android phone Apple/Google could be streaming your screen contents constantly, so even e2ee wouldn't help.

I just don't know if that is actually true, or if meta doing e2ee and then pinging your messages around from the app after they're delivered is true. I've no reason to believe either is.

It does look very internal, but the root domain name is more comprehensible than it might appear.

Cequint is a company that provides caller ID services. "Vz" is short for Verizon. "Cid" is short for caller ID. That only leaves "we", which probably refers to either
"wireless" or "web" in some way, e.g. wireless/web "edge" or "endpoint".

The domain is therefore the Cequint Verizon Wireless (Web?) Edge Caller ID endpoint.

I don't know what clr or aqx are, though. (I assume CLR is not Microsoft's Common Language Runtime, but I suppose it could be. I know at least one company that likes to name services after the technology used to implement them.)

Anarcho-capitalists are not anarchists. They share no history or ideology with any of the other variants of anarchism.

They're extreme libertarians/neo-feudalists.
It’s not “anarchism” it’s simply rolling back the bad parts of Reagan’s legacy: free trade, immigration/amnesty, and foreign empire.

When Democrats embraced free trade and globalism with Clinton, most of the liberal Reagan republicans and neocons became Democrats. What MAGA is today is what the bulk of the GOP has always been: a coalition of social conservatives and business owners.

VAT complicates the business environment for US companies operating in the EU, and it takes a major chunk of their margins. US doesn't have VAT and has a significantly easier business environment for EU businesses to operate in - leading to an unbalanced playing field.

VAT is just one component though. Remember that US largely subsidizes and sponsors the defense of EU, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, etc - but those countries have been giving less and less back, over the past years.

I suspect a strong precondition for this is to switch world oil trade away from the dollar, and that is currently enforced by a combination of military power and "winner takes all" network effect mechanics of the trade.

Of course, everything that was deemed 100% bonkers in that past will slowly be deemed as "duh, it was obvious that it was going to happen!"

I mean, don't you remember that not so long ago, economists were telling us "Business As Usual is going to cost us about 5-10% of GDP"? Now it's threatening civilization. Duh!

Muahahah, my bet on shorting civilization will finally pay off! Oh wait...

The crux of the argument is that voting is a right, and voter ID laws create a unnecessary burden to exercising that right given the extremely low levels of individual voter fraud. Do I need my driver's license to practice free speech? Do I need my passport to be allowed to be an atheist?

It would be different if we were solving a problem with voter ID laws because then you're balancing rights with real pragmatism. You can as hypothetical about it as you want, you can go down the slippery slope fallacy if you want, but the evidence shows us we do not have an issue here.

It would also be different if IDs were easier to come by, because then the burden is not disproportionate to the problem. But neither of these things are true.

Instead we're just enacting barriers to the use of our constitutional rights, barriers to participation in society, not to solve a problem but to enact a political end.
Oh god, please delete this comment! Don't give them ideas! XD
In my circle of family and friends, no one strays too far from the center, so I don't find it particularly difficult to navigate disagreement. We've gotten more carried away arguing about completely banal happenings. However, I sense not everyone else feels the same way.

What tends to happen at dinners or whatever is that some outspoken person (socially conservative on a pet issue) monopolizes conversation, and a couple of others keep mum because they don't like confrontation/arguing. The others don't care.

I am guilty of this in one particular case. I have a friend who describes himself as a classical Liberal, and when the subject comes up about pit bulls or the like, will say that "the problem is with the owners not the breed". What am I going to do, take out my crap phone and try to use data like a blunt instrument? I don't care enough to start an argument over it.

I hate to break it to you, but this also happens in the US - especially at huge companies.

The next step of my career progression at my current company is deciding whether I want to go into the continuing tech route as an architect or staff software engineer or if I want to go into the managerial / people leader route.

The later is quite more lucrative, but I would have to stop programming.

What kills Deck for me are the game launchers.

In my opinion you are giving the US government far too much credit. Trump has through his usage of social media created a weapon that he can strike at anyone that stands in his way. With all branches under Republican control there's simply no one left who can stand up to him without having his political career destroyed. We've seen this story unfold so many times in countries around the world - Turkey would be one recent example where the misguided policies of Erdogan have left the country with record inflation rates for years.
This begs the question, how many of the newer generation of developers/engineers "know what a well architected piece of code is supposed to look like"?
