The deal he is going to offer to countries like Vietnam is to be part of a "club" of countries with special relationship with the US, and that will include accepting to tie up their currencies to the dollar and buying exclusively US weapons for their defense.

Stallman's argument at the time was:

"a language for extensions should... be a real programming
language, designed for writing and maintaining substantial programs...

The first Emacs used a string-processing language, TECO, which was
inadequate. We made it serve, but it kept getting in our way. It
made maintenance harder, and it made extensions harder to write...

Tcl was not designed to be a serious programming language. It was
designed to be a "scripting language", on the assumption that a
"scripting language" need not try to be a real programming language.
So Tcl doesn't have the capabilities of one. It lacks arrays; it
lacks structures from which you can make linked lists. It fakes
having numbers, which works, but has to be slow. Tcl is ok for
writing small programs, but when you push it beyond that, it becomes
insufficient.

Tcl has a peculiar syntax that appeals to hackers because of its
simplicity. But Tcl syntax seems strange to most users."

I've been using Coolify for about a year now and have been very happy with it. It's really low maintenance, it has built in backups for your apps and databases, decent security by default, and is super easy to use. I log into the underlying VMs once per month to do an apt update/upgrade, and that's about it.
The issue isn't the universities teaching "woke facts" or something. I think most people accept that university lecturers should be able to use their judgement to decide what to teach. The issue is their conduct in engaging in racial discrimination. That is unpopular and unlawful.

The reason that it happens is that these institutions have been captured by a new ideology. Facts, evidence, reason: these don't matter any more. All that matters is conformity with the ideology that has no better name than "woke" (If I knew a better name I'd use it, because the term does upset people.) But the fundamental issue isn't the woke teaching, it is WHY it happens: the median humanities lecturer in the West is either far-left or completely incapable or unwilling to challenge far-left ideology.

A coordinate result is that they also use their judgement and teach a lot of woke rubbish. There is little internal pressure within the university not to teach courses with descriptions like this:

> This course examines the representations, contexts, and politics of gender, sexuality and the media. By interrogating the discourses of gender and sexuality as they are 'mediated' in a variety of forms (including television, film, popular music, social media, advertising), we will examine the construction and disruption of categories of gender and sexual identity, and their intersection with other identity frameworks.

If you talked this way in real life, you would be ridiculed and rightly so. Interrogating the discourses? Really? Construction and disruption of categories of sexual and gender identity?

Yet there are no classes taught by people with equivalently ridiculous fringe views on the other end of the spectrum. In fact, not even centrist perspectives are tolerated. Can you imagine a course at a public American university that looked at the development of gender ideology neutrally, covering founding figures like John Money and the cruel experiments he did on young boys?

The Overton window of the university barely overlaps with the Overton window of the real world.

Also I take issue with your 50% claim. I think it is likely that the vast majority of the public is opposed to using public money to teach far-left politics (Marxism, gender ideology, etc.) to young impressionable minds.

Because then the creative individual, in order to sustain themselves, will basically need an ultra rich patron who pays a lot of money for just the one copy or one performance. You know, basically how things worked before printing presses and recorded music.

Most copyrighted works don't make any money. Those that do go through a period where they sell a bunch of copies and after that it's just a trickle, if anything.

Why should you be able to charge every separate individual who comes to your concert? Same per seat price whether the place is filled to the back row or to the second row!

If you rent something, you're getting charged multiple times for exactly the same thing. You just paid for one month of staying in an apartment, now they want you to pay for a month again! The mere passage of time is churning out month after month. They are all the same, but you get charged! Same with power tools, cars and everything else rentable. Fifty people before you rented this hammer drill from Home Depot, but you still have to pay the same as they did.

Anyway, suppose that one should not be able to charge multiple times for the same thing. Then, fine, let the purveyor of an AI service also not be allowed to charge for their algorithmic rehashing of someone else's works.

I'm for getting rid of all forms of rent. But it has to be all: no cherry picking. Don't take away renting from one, while allowing another one to sell unlimited copies of a work. Or vice versa.
A side project is creative while work is reductive (not necessarily a bad thing!)

Side project is graffiti art on your shed wall, day job is 3 coats gloss white on the ceilings. That needs to be finished by Friday.

I have some side project ideas but need the time! Mainly these would be contributing to OSS databases to get (any!) knowledge of systems proprogramming. Node.js or Go preferred due to familiarity.

I can't steelman the case for high tariffs, but small tariffs make sense to me.

There's a trade off between economic diversity and comparative advantage, and a balance is better than being at either extreme.

A 5% cost advantage might be sufficient for a company to offshore production of medical supplies, but is that minor cost saving worthwhile versus the risk of a shortage in war or pandemic?

Automation is reducing labor cost advantages, and converging unit manufacturing costs globally, so more and more industries are falling into this "slight comparative advantage to offshoring" case.
People want both of those things, possibly different people.

Sure get rid of coins but cash is not going away. People have already witnessed what happens when the control of money is centralized. So convenience, hygiene, and theoretically anti-fraud sounds great but people do not want to be locked out of their money. The theory of less risk of theft is upside down. Centralizing money will attract insider threats and more likely massive numbers of people lose money just like what is occurring in web3 exchanges. Cash can only be stolen by locals and some of us have moved to safer places. Should centralized money come to pass many of us will just move to local food production, bartering and ignore the tax system all together.

If there is any doubt that people would start getting locked out just look at politics and de-platforming today. Once everyone's money is in a central location and people are on the "wrong side of the fence" they would be put on financial lock-down and it might not even be from their own government or for a legit reason. Without access to their money hiring lawyers would be a challenge.

One of the problems with trying to apply the Objectivist view to a situation like this is that often experts need to tell their patrons true things they don't want to hear. I'll leave any sociological or economic examples aside and say, to pick a couple that Ayn Rand herself didn't believe, that smoking causes cancer and air pollution is bad for the human body. If the patron doesn't want to believe this new fact they have been told, they might feel taken advantage of. They might feel that if a science department got public funding only to come to those conclusions, that the scientists should be fired.

> what Britain did was import massive amounts from India and made high value goods at home and provided high value services that couldn't be provided elsewhere

Does this story really describe a trade deficit? Trade is measured in units of currency, not in kilograms.

If I import a quantity of sugar from the West Indies for $1, turn it into rum, and export that rum for $10, then I have, net, produced $9 of exports.
* People ate plenty of meat when they had to slaughter the animals themselves.

* Hunting is quite popular.

* Every adult that eats meat is quite aware of what goes on to bring it to his table.

So I would disagree. We slaughter animals because that is what they are for, it is why they are farmed, and we want the resulting products. I like my leather shoes and jacket and belt. I like a steak. I like a chicken curry. It doesn't concern me at all that cows and chicken and lambs die to make that happen. They are knocked out first, so it is quite humane.
It seems like it would make it more palatable to the existing franchises if their precious existing copyrights were not shortened.

downvotes and no replies but I know I'm correct. buffer overflows and reproducibility in builds is only the smell of a secure bootloader, real secure bootloading is not going to happen in Grub2 without a total rewrite and a boot system that's built to be correct FIRST instead of recoverable for bad states with internal logging and exception handling.

> SeedLM reduces memory access and leverages idle compute cycles during inference, effectively speeding up memory-bound tasks by trading compute for fewer memory accesses.

I am very interested in some adjacent applications of this idea - Using a deterministic/fast RNG to generate the full genome for the candidates in evolutionary algorithms.

Memory bandwidth tends to be the king of constraints when dealing with these gigantic information theory problems. Managing very large population (which dramatically increases your chances of success) means you would otherwise need to push members out to DRAM, which means we are now 2-3 orders of magnitude slower. A modern CPU with all dependent data already loaded into L1/L2/L3 might as well have already completed whatever calculations. Getting that data to the caches is the real struggle. What if we didn't have to move it there? You have upward of a hundred megabytes of cache available to each core in the higher end systems. If we can achieve something like a 1:10 ratio of RNG seed to projected model parameter, you could have effectively gigabytes of parameters per cpu running in a latency domain bounded by L3.

A lot of white collar work is just larping as the 1%. It's due to the over-manufacturing of elites. Roles that exist to keep people busy while confering illusory social status aren't very useful to society. Freedom and usefulness comes from humility and devotion to others. For example, you don't need to be in the 1% to have financial independence. You just have to not spend money on things that cargo cult the 1% like a fancy home, fancy car, and fancy dress, since that's a weakness in yourself that the 1% exploits to keep folks dependent on paychecks. Refusing to covet what the 1% has is how you act like a true 99%er. Not through politics, but by changing what's in your heart.
Thanks. This is brilliant and makes so much sense, but it's not something I would have searched for.

> Is it because, as the leader of a language, he shouldn't be making "attacks" against other languages?

Actually, yes. Not only from the angle of common decency or adhering to a code of conduct, but as a matter of professionalism and setting the example for followers.

> as far as V being a fraud...

That is a provably false claim from competitors, who should not be engaging in such activity.

Paying supporters[1][2][3] (ylluminate, gompertz, etc...) of the V language have even gone on record at HN, to clearly state such competitor or evangelist claims are false, and that they are happy with the language.

Not only can such competitor generated claims be seen as false, through direct V supporter refutation, but by the visible progress of the project as a whole. Over the years, the V language repo continually amasses thousands of stars and hundreds of contributors, that can be plainly seen on GitHub. It is a significantly large and successful project. To pretend or argue otherwise, is very disingenuous. People are there, because they like using Vlang[4].

Yes, that's how proportion works; if thighs like food take a smaller portion of spending, some other things will take a bigger share.

GP comment is cited food as the first item; and decades (not 5 year) as the reference timeframe, so I focused on that. I am sure that by cherry picking both items and timeframe (look at food but only over 5 year; education but only since the 60's; telecommunication but only since the price hike of last week) you can paint a different story, but that's not the point here.
> I decided to go for Python

Great choice and keep going! At my last job, we actually created and sold Anki decks and I can tell you that Python was the main language we used for this. In fact, it's also one of the main languages used to build Anki (it's built with PyQt + Rust & Svelte).
That sounds really interesting! What got us into this project is the problem in with the LLM a large llms-full.txt file as a context, for example. We wanted to provide the agents an easy way to get the documentation for every repo (be it llms.txt, readme, etc) - but also search chunks of it using semantic search.
