What's your threshold where an "individual" becomes a "collective"? Certainly billionaire libertarians, religious conservatives, Putin and his supporters and the Trump administration (along with the judges he's appointed, the people in congress and state governments who ran on his platform and the 10s of millions of Americans who voted for them) are not individuals...

They also very obviously want different things compared to others.
I agree with most of what you've said. The MO of the entire advertising industry is _based_ on influencing people's thoughts and behavior.

Two nitpicks:

> Long term behaviour change is difficult. Short term behaviour change; not so much.

As you've clearly pointed out, both short _and_ long-term behavior change is possible. The only difference is that long-term change, by definition, requires more time and resources. That's the only thing making it more "difficult".

> I don't get how someone with a PhD in psychology doesn't just defend this industry, but actively works for it. You must know some of the damage being done, after all those years in school.

Advertising is deeply rooted in psychology, and psych PhDs are highly valued in the industry. The person you're arguing with is perfectly aware of how the industry works, so any counterarguments are defense mechanisms. If they have any morals left, this is what helps them sleep at night.
"Local multiplayer on Steam" has no referent, because Steam does not do local multiplayer at all. It's all up to the game. I've played plenty of games that way, Steam and the Steam Deck add no particular problem with it.

While I wouldn't pin this on Steam qua Steam as a program, it is a fair complaint about the ecosystem. I have some games that are as flexible as the Switch about being docked. I have some games that can be docked but can't handle any resolution changes. I have some games you just plain can't switch. I have some games that you can switch from using the physical Steam Deck controls to an Xbox controller seamlessly, complete with the in-game hint graphics changing to match the controller in use. I have some games that have to be restarted to pick up a new controller. At least a few months ago I had one particular combination of games that if I played them in sequence would somehow permanently render XBox controllers non-functional until I rebooted the Steam Deck, though that is certainly an exception.

The Switch does handle the Switch-ing in the Switch name better than the Steam Deck, and it is a structural advantage that Valve will have a hard time addressing in a practical way. That said, my family does use the Steam Deck as a de facto Switch 1.5, as a thing that is used fairly evenly between "docked" and "in hand", and it is functional enough to work, even if it is undeniably not as slick.

You don't need a huge navy to battle Russia. It's navy is pretty small (they don't even have a functioning aircraft carrier) and there is anyway a land connection between Europe and Russia.

For fighters I don't think 5th gen is the magic number, you can do well against Russia with more 4th gen, and the generation counter is pretty imprecise anyway, rafale and Gripen are continuously modernized with new software and electronic warfare

Europe has Aster which is a replacement for patriot with similar characteristics. Since the technology exists it should be a small thing to scale up production.

And ammunition has been scaled up since 2022 and every shell used in Ukraina is a shell that does not need to be used in the rest of the countries.

What idealism? The person you responded to said they didn't expect things to change unless there were real consequences. Not expecting things to change is the opposite of idealism.

But even if they were idealistic, arguing with people for wishing the world was better is a genuinely odd thing. If you followed your beliefs, wouldn't you understand that telling people not to wish for things is pointless? If you actually dealt with the world as it is, you would not argue with people on the Internet because changing somebody's mind, particularly in the way you are attempting to do it, is just as much wishful thinking as hoping that CEOs will fire themselves.

That, and the carpets, yes :). But it still is a solid proof that dark scenes are just a choice - not a limitation of the medium or shooting technique.
I am especially fond of the `get_disjoint_mut` APIs. They're such a neat demonstration that Rust's fundamental borrowing rules are not that bad; it's just that compilers aren't smart enough to realise when things are OK. Sometimes language/compiler improvements make things better (cf. the Polonius project in Rust), but sometimes just neat API design can save the day. (Still, this API wouldn't be possible in the early 1.x days of Rust; the language improvements elsewhere (i.e. const generics) made it possible.)

Edit: almost forgot to mention why this API is dear to me: 8 years back I was one of the first to suggest something like this: https://github.com/golddranks/multi_mut At the moment, it was not feasible for upstreaming to stdlib, though (in my mind, mainly because checking an arbitrary amount of disjoint borrows would've required heap allocations back then). Later language developments made it shine.
> People receiving UBI will have any additional income they generate deducted from UBI. This is human nature.

Then it isn't UBI. By definition, you get exactly the same amount as everybody else, regardless of their income from whatever source. This means that you're always better off if you take a job.
Adding padding below the main page content seems ideal since it also fixes the issue where the tail end of the content is stuck at the bottom of the viewport instead of where you'd prefer it.

Maybe a 90vh margin for mobile and 50vh for everything larger.

Hmm, then again you'd still need TFA's solution for the latter case. The margin only solves it on mobile since a 90vh margin on desktop would look ridiculous.
What about Marxism?
Or even unapologetically.

Interesting that people are downvoting heavily those information. If reality does not match our view of the World, well, let's ignore reality. The truth is that EU kept higher tariffs on US goods than the other way, Trump is changing that and there is an outcry, because it was Trump who did that. If that was Kamala, nobody would even notice.
Personally I think beyond T450 generation, i.e. over 10 years old systems, you are starting to make pretty severe compromises. T440 generation had really bad Trackpoint setup, and older hardware starts to lose features. Random stuff that T450 has that T400 doesn't

* USB3

* Up to 32 GB of RAM (vs max 8 GB for T400)

* M.2 slot (for SSD), 6 Gb/s SATA (vs 1.5 Gb/s on T400)

* x86-64-v3 (AVX2 etc) and OpenGL 4.6

* Dual-band AC wifi and BT4.0 (optional 4G LTE WWAN)

* DisplayPort with 4k@60Hz output

* Slightly larger screen estate (1600x900 vs 1440x900), with FHD 1080p display option

* Dramatically better battery life

* Backlit keyboard

Many of these are not merely nice to have but also ensure longevity by being compatible with lot of other modern stuff. On the other hand I do believe that T450 generation device might remain viable daily driver for a long while still. From the specs the biggest obvious shortcoming to me is the lack of USB-C, especially USB-C charging. But besides that, it seems pretty usable system.

For reference, I have old X240 that I still occasionally use.
How about “women can’t get certain medical procedures”? Or “women can’t vote”? Multiple prominent Republicans have floated reducing or eliminating women’s right to vote.
That’s a speculative article that was wrong. I was also somewhat misremembering JPow saying he wouldn’t cut rates after the inauguration as him saying he was going to raise them. Rates changed a small amount in September, then they did two big cuts after the election. Not really evidence of political bias in any case.

Forth, PostScript and Assembly are the "natural" programming languages from the perspective of how what you express maps to the environment in which the code executes.

The question is "natural" to whom, the humans or the computers?

AI does not make human language natural to computers. Left to their own devices, AIs would invent languages that are natural with respect to their deep learning architectures, which is their environment.

There is always going to be an impedance mismatch across species (humans and AIs) and we can't hide it by forcing the AIs to default to human language.
If you frequent an American form as a non-American, you'll have noticed by now that for most Americans it's as if the rest of the world doesn't really exist. You can talk all you want about how the thing they're proposing has been done in other countries with terrible results. Or the thing they're saying it's inviable exists in many other countries and it just works. You'll be ignored either way
i agree smart contracts are the way forward, but you don’t need crypto or blockchain to implement them. You do need a trusted third party, to adjudicate when things go wrong.
You are right about olive oil. So why did he do it? The trade imbalance with Tunisia. Why is there are trade imbalance with Tunisia? US consumers have money to buy products from Tunisia, Tunisian consumers don't have the ability to afford products from the US. Why can't Tunisian's afford US products? This is the central question for every country in the trade war and it has myriad factors, but two of the biggest are: A higher cost US dollar, suppression of wages in countries like Tunisia (and Germany, and China, etc).
You’re describing a similar real life version of Kendall Roy but, remarkably, with even less adversity.

One point that resonated with me is the Fallout 76 main story was actually pretty good on it's own, but unfortunately it was not what fans were expecting. Bethesda's changes to make it more like previous games actually undermine the original story, resulting in a disjointed experience.
Thank you. So, another de minimis amount ($1.8 million): it's not exactly zero, but it's just about as much as their NIH support. Columbia, as a comparator, gets $100 million in NSF funding.
The whole documentation is so slick.
This is the opposite of a dog whistle it's entirely explicit. There are people being thrown into vans for speech right now. There are law firms that are negotiating to lift bills of attainder for their prior political litigation. They are _literally_ throwing people in El Salvadorean prisons without due process, including people that were in this country legally.
While I usually detest giant footers, this is one use-case they lend benefit to, without causing a large empty space (which some people would then want to fill with an image). I agree from a UX perspective that I prefer when sites act the way I expect them to, and not try to do novel calculations of stuff (minus usability stuff like the ‘dead zone’ dropdown menu polygon calculation). On most pages, I expect a reading section to start when I scroll past a heading, and I prefer anchors to deliver the heading at the top of my viewport.

Fascism is an easy sell when it's immediately preceded by the Weimar Republic.
You're arguing from a steady state. In point of fact the pain of the at-this-point-seemingly-inevitable recession is absolutely going to be concentrated on the working class. Those of us with savings and work flexibility will do just fine.

Even someone making a first principles argument for a revision of US trade policy should agree that this is insane.
Yup. I think it’s terrible the author brought up adolf loos, an architect from the early 1900s, showed a building I don’t think he made, and then blamed him for dull modern apartment buildings. If you look up his buildings, they’re actually pretty cool and weird; he was an artist responding to his time. Modern apartment buildings are developed by people with inordinate wealth who don’t care about the asthetic beauty surrounding those peons who pay them rent. The priority is beauty that impresses on the first viewing to trick renters. Every other incentive is to save money, and art is one of the first things to go when people start trying to be perfectly efficient. That’s the same sort of issue with music, desperation that precludes a focus on pure art.
I don't think so. China shows us an example of exceptionally developed bureaucracy, having long historical roots, even entrenched in culture - and no democracy. I really don't think governing system in the US had the same at its birth, and look how it went. I'd rather suggest some features of judicial system is the key
git-annex is not exactly blockchain but because of the way it operates -- storing files by their hashes, the whole Git commit structure -- it gives you several useful things: It becomes easy to clone repositories while guaranteeing that clones are identical. It also becomes easy to ensure that files are not tampered with.
Several issues:

- imports will become prohibitively expensive

- doing everything locally is less efficient

- the dollar will lose its world currency status

- then debt will become unsustainable
For high-availability deployments, we leverage Fly.io's global Anycast network and DNS-based health checks. When a machine in region A goes offline, Fly's Anycast routing automatically directs traffic to healthy machines in other regions without manual intervention.

For intra-region redundancy, we deploy 2 nodes per region in HA mode. If one node fails, traffic is seamlessly routed to the other node in the same region through Fly.io's internal load balancing. This provides N+1 redundancy within each region, ensuring service continuity even during single-node failures.

>They won't absorb the new costs.

If you mean that importers will not absorb costs then I agree. They will pass on most of the costs, if not immediately (to avoid sticker shock) then over a period of time.

But the question is what happens to demand for imported goods and demand for everything else. At constant money supply, prices of some goods going up could put pressure on the price of other goods and services, although this seems less likely as the tariffs are so extremely broad.

A lot depends on how people respond. Will they reduce saving to pay higher prices? Will they take out loans to maintain living standards (creating new money in the process)? Or will they cut back on spending causing a recession?

And what will companies do? Will projects be put on hold because the return on investment is too unpredictable? What happens to the dollar? Will Trump cut other taxes to offset his tax hikes on imports? What about the massive budget deficit?

I think this is all highly uncertain.
I love Caddy. Correct me if I am wrong but this looks like a hosted Caddy primarily for Load Balancing ? What about things like SSL termination or general reverse proxy capabilities ?

I would be interested in a hosted caddy cluster that lets me configure everything that Caddy provides without needing to fiddle with Caddyfiles or its API directly.
Yes! "Trade Wars are Class Wars" by Klein & Pettis is the book to read if you want to hear actual economists with actual data talk about this.
This is excellent, but I'm not following how the multi-region deployments work. Is Anycast involved in this somehow?
Sorry, I probably phrased that poorly - when you’re coding with AI, you should get in the habit of spending more time checking for security mistakes. Not sanitizing, not scoping properly. Same mistakes a junior or mid would make, but unlike them, the AI will not doubt itself and highlight particular code it wrote asking “is this right?”. So you need to develop the habit of being careful.
In the end, the problem is that China manufacturing output is $4.6 trillion according to those numbers while the US is $2.5 trillion, while it was around the same back in 2010. This, along with its decline in percentage of GDP is causing the perception, and it also is causing decline in employment in manufacturing. The perception matters ideologically and the employment issues matters materially, and so we have these tariffs as an effort to bring manufacturing back to the US.
>I wonder why none of the large tech blogs seemed to have picked that up?

This goes above their audiences heads which is why they are large tech blogs in the first place.
politics, especially international geopolitics is a zero-sum game. The game of competition for limited resources and markets. Because resources are limited, the pie is fixed, and this makes it zero sum game.

Although there is a way to frame political alliances as a win-win when two parties increase their share at a cost of some other third party losing theirs.

Because of that, the arguments will always be straw-man, because people want to win resources, not to argue in good faith.

Any political issue can be framed in terms of zero sum game, if you look at the whole picture
Thanks again. Mine was an uncharitable interpretation, apologies for that. I appreciate your engagement with critical comments without coming off as defensive or snarky.

This looks like a lot of work and good will were poured into it, and I can see how it can be useful to a fitness focused audience.

You control the messaging on the site and in your apps, and you make it clear that this is not authoritative data. Everything built on top of this needs to have the same messaging, but it has probably been ingested into multiple LLMs already.

I think some sort of licensing requirement that the LLM source of this data be prominently disclosed will not keep this from becoming a source of truth for other datasets, products, and services; but, it is still worth the effort. All you can do is all you can do, right?
One concern is that coding/logical puzzles are verticals where LLMs have lots of training data, they require small context window, and that's why they are doing well, but they don't necessary scale/generalize on other topics. For example I yet to see agents which would grab say Postgres codebase from github, and add untrivial features, send patch which is accepted.
Rubio can say what he wants but there's no record of her doing anything else and he's a proven liar. If it was something else let them allege it. There isn't.

> “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Walton family, owners of Walmart, run the company by exploiting the labor force and social safety nets like welfare. Walmart is the largest company with the most employees on some sort of welfare. Tax payers are propping up their stock. This allows them to retain more of the profits versus sharing them and removing their employees from the welfare system. None of their listed actions have to do anything with globalization to retain their wealth.

Taxing the wealth and redistributing helps. Saw this in the 1950-1960s with building of new infrastructure to replace the aging or expand the supply to offset the demand. Using the money to pay for new training so lost jobs can be replaced where jobs are needed helps too. Even the simple act of ending starvation in children increases their intellect for the next generation and helps support the future. This method will never be perfect. These are band-aid solutions that have actual results.

Reality is that the inequality is a social problem masquerading as an economic problem. Society has moved to from respecting empathy and humanity to respecting greed and power. People mind set is anchored to, “That person is quite wealthy so they should be smart and some god must love them for it.” Reality is that person exploited a labor force to maximize their wealth. They are not more intelligent nor does some god like them better. Look at how many rich people fell for Elizabeth Holmes’s blood testing scam while a person that actually studies blood understands parts per millions in looking for test markers. A vial of blood or more is needed versus a drop.

Want to fix the system? Start looking at the wealthy with disgust and damnation. Demonize them for being the driving force in economic inequality. Move back to honoring and respecting empathy and humanity. Real intelligent people have empty. It lets them be placed in the shoes of others when they will never can experience it themselves.

I would also caption the wealth gab in the USA as modern day segregation. The world happiness index shows that equalizing the rich and poor creates a better sociality. Respecting the wealth and demonizing the poor is the complete inverse of a better society and maximizes soar.

PS. Why do people think bulling trade partners will be beneficial? Say you are store owner or product producer and you keep trying to bully me to by your products. I will not and go the competition, even with higher costs or deem the product or service not worth it. I already started boycotting USA bourbon manufacturers with their arrogant and bully statements during the Tariff Wars.

Do good, demonize extreme wealth. Irony is so many GOOD Christians even ignore Jesus’s statement on this matter with pretending Matthew 19:24 doesn’t exist.
