> I think you're wholely unaware of the concept of dog-whistles and their role in our modern politics...

I'd think the opposite actually. If you bring up border security, then the conversation can go in one of two ways: a discussion of the actual policies of border security, or a conversation that hears the dog whistle and proceeds under the context that you fall into the tribe that uses that dog whistle. The latter is an ambush. The policies themselves still exist even outside of their historical context as dog whistles. The question is if can you have a conversation with someone that talks about the policies themselves or not

Uncertainty means everyone pulling back on spending. We've had uncertainty ("I'm tariffing! Wait maybe not. I'm tariffing! Wait maybe not", repeat several times) for a few months now, we were going to see harm from that in the near future regardless.

Costs actually increasing and trade volume dropping is going to be... even worse.

Cut a "rationalist centrist moderate" and a fascist who doesn't want to get cancelled because he still needs VC funding and Linkedin connections bleeds.

US politics has been increasingly polarized into positions congruent with facts and policy and our traditional ideals, and positions associated with a general stance of grievance, with an insistent selfishness, with anti-empathy, anti-intellectualism, with "palingenetic ultranationalism". This has been a test of your ideals, of your humanity. It wasn't very hard.

Yes, there is often a lot of nuanced truth in the middle of any argument. But less now, in politics, than in a long, long time. Only a very particular sort of person walks into a liberated Auschwitz and starts shouting "Both sides are too extreme and I'm better than them!" from the rooftops.

Speaking as somebody who spent a lot of time there: A lot of the tropes in the "rationalist" community are inherently conservative-pointing, and it's a general prerequisite for participating there that you have a coherent base of progressive terminal ideals and an attitude suited towards introspection and iteration of your beliefs. Because otherwise you go from zero to Nietzschean ubermensch to Nazi ubermensch to Musk/Thiel brownshirt in no time, having weaponized everything present there to support your priors and idly expand your confidence.
I thought that was crazy too
posixutils is far, far more utils than coreutils. posixutils includes awk, m4, a C compiler, etc.

I am not complaining by the way, it was more of a feature request, for example when you hover over an ingredient (e.g. "Choline", "Tryptophan", etc.), it may display a somewhat concise description of that ingredient (e.g. "Tryptophan is ..."). It is fine as it is either way, all things considered.
Many critical flaws. Your getting lost confusing the forest for the trees.

For starters you are focusing on the % on the interest payments which is a line item. However when all of your allies stop buying your goods and services you run into bigger problems.

Bonus problem: If one of your internal metrics is that you want to have a trade deficit but nobody to sell to because you have created a hostile environment for trade.

I am not on mobile. It all boils down to the way decade old convetions/expectations are broken.

The things that look like buttons (and are spans in the html code, not even anchors!) trigger non-local transitions (the left panel thing) when hovered... and they close the opened panel when clicked, so if I move my mouse to click on it the end result is a panel that flashes.

I need to keep ignoring the usual button affordance of being clicked and force myself to think they are tiggered on hover.

If this isn't bad UX I don't kown what it is.
I've been tracking my daily calorie intake on a spreadsheet for the past three months and have had some success losing weight through it. If you do it right it will shine a light on the seemingly inconsequential food items which are setting you back. For me it was the Japanese milk teas which I was able to quickly eliminate.

The big thing I've realized through this exercise is just how much of a creature of habit I am. Inputting what I've eaten over the previous day is mostly copying and pasting rows from previous days sheets, and I suspect I could simplify input even further. Most people would be in a similar position and should be able to build their own lists by reading the nutritional information already available. When that's not available It doesn't necessarily I found r/caloriecount to be a useful resource. It need not be perfect either, just as long as you're doing it consistently.
You can tax whoever you want as much as you want but the problem is the industries from the past are no longer in this country.

There was no immediate market for low-orbit launch capacity in the manner of Starlink: SpaceX essentially created that market by being its own customer (and having access to cheap excess launch capacity.) Now there are multiple networks being launched, some at higher orbits.

The first question is whether even more low-cost launch access will continue to create more new applications like this one. The second question is whether the business projections for Starship already assume that's the case.
Nice! Thanks for responding.

>> Outputs undergo rigorous validation steps, including cross-checking with advanced auditing models such as OpenAI’s o1-pro, which has proven especially proficient at performing high-quality random audits.

>> there was a lot of manual effort involved in coming to that conclusion with my own effort to review the LLM's reasoning

So, the randomly audited entries seemed reasonable to you – not even the data itself, just the reasoning about the generated data. Did the manual reviews stop once things started looking good enough? Are the audits ongoing, to fill out the rest of the dataset? Would those be manually double-checked as well?

>> I became interested in exploring how recent advances in generative AI could enable entirely new kinds of consumer products—ones whose core innovations leveraged AI but didn’t explicitly market themselves as “AI products.”

Once again: Why not market this as an AI product? This is LLMs all the way down.

People are already interested in using this dataset. I was. Now, LLM generated “usually close enough to not be actively harmful” data is being distributed as a source for any and all to use. I think your disclaimer is excellent. Does your license require an equivalent disclaimer be provided by those using this data?
The quiet majority who avoids such things are easily lost among all the pump and dump nonsense. A ~single digit percentage of the general population has basically zero morality, but they can have a huge impact.

I realized it was likely a profitable long term investment back when bitcoin was ~10-15$, but I objected to it on moral grounds and didn’t get involved. It’s not even something I regret, just another life choice.
Framework laptops aren't really repairable in the same way that old Thinkpads are. Maybe that's good, maybe not, but replacing an entire motherboard every 3 years isn't all that different from replacing an entire computer really.

Part of the wonder with this work is thinking of how to overcome such a problem

It’s actually a very optimistic work for Cage. The idea that we could have a continuous performance for hundreds of years, without ever being interrupted by wars or disasters.

I think it is amazing that someone has risen to the challenge to try and perform this, and if they are successful what that means for us as a society that it was allowed to happen

I have a pessimistic outlook. All it will take is one bad actor to interrupt this performance that could potentially involve thousands to maintain. It feels inevitable that this will fail. Nevertheless, this in itself is a statement on us as a species and what a wonderful work this is to have provoked such a thing.
The flaw is that the USD is massively dropping because of the tarifs.
This will push up interest rates on US bonds, because bond holders want compensation for the value loss of their bond.
The reality is that no one wants to carry around a five pound laptop just for the sake of sturdiness or repairability.
I don't see any way the actions we've already seen haven't moved up drastic action on the US debt by at least a decade. And it's only been a very-few months.

We were probably screwed when we cut taxes going into two crushingly-expensive wars, and certainly were when we cut taxes again, but now we're rushing toward crisis instead of trying to at least delay it.
I don't think its that simple and is overly simplistic. If it was all about getting a better deal why wouldn't they have all left for Switzerland by now? Objectively, its a better deal than what the US offers - even on tax rates.

Too many people think "lock them up" is the solution to crime, without considering that crime relies on certain types of infrastructure to remain in business. And that people who are "tough on crime" often have good reasons to keep operational the things that facilitate said crimes.

I thought the same. And on this site I cannot even see the proposed anchor link because it's a badly implemented web component custom-element that is all JS defined instead of wrapping actual HTML elements/text. It's such an overengineered anchor link that unless you succssfully execute all the javascript it doesn't appear at all. Very fragile.

> But if you ever had to implement them, you might have encountered the .

Wikipedia is also bad about JS-dependent false anchor links. I can't count the number of times someone "linked" me an "anchor" to an image on a wikipedia article that simply did nothing without javascript. All wikipedia would have to do is put a real html a anchor next to the JS defined one to fix it but despite submitting bugs about this it's never been fixed.
Instead of congratulating yourself on your sheer brilliance all the time and how you like to declare yourself to be superior, maybe look at why your arguments aren't convincing to others?

I'd recommend you take a point-by-point look at what you're saying vs what I said and see if what you said had any relevance to any of my literal sentences.
In the academic community the term still has a useful meaning and is often used appropriately in those circles.

But you could substitute neoreactionary in GP and it would still be referring to real bloggers that are treated as if they're making legitimate and justifiable arguments.

I basically did that, bought AoE several times, back then on CD and again on Steam. First I used virtual drives with ISO images and later a cracked version.

Today I am only using the Steam version though because I can easily join multiplayer games with friends all over the world.
Also, I really like all the additional features in the remakes of AoE that you can get on Steam.
Rare to see The Economist this judgemental :)

An olive tree reaches the peak of its productivity after 15 years and can live for several centuries.

An adult tree can be so expensive that there are cases of theft. It takes a heavy truck and a tree puller to steal an olive tree.
I haven't checked AoE myself. If you're concerned about DRM, games using Steam DRM are usually the easiest to crack on your own by just by replacing the Steam DLL that ships with the game with one that emulates its functionality.
The animations on the left are exactly what my primitive mind needs to understand better and stay engaged while reading an article. I _love_ it.
Rationalism, and the people who believe in it and promote it, has the problem that the human mind unavoidably decides to act as the arbiter of what is rational or not. This limits your vision to only that which the mind internally 'agrees with' or not, entrenching hidden biases.

Fundamentally, it's the mind only engaging with the cognitive, and ignoring the limbic. Engaging with the limbic, with the deep, primal parts of the brain, challenges cognitively-held truths and demands you to support these truths from a broader context.

This is why rationalists are more prone to engage with fascist viewpoints, they seek more power for their held beliefs and fascism offers that in spades. You're not thinking about the history of fascist movements and how horrible they all turned out. You're thinking: How can we do it better this time?

Just like in math, the rational is a subset of the real, and you need both the rational and the irrational to make reality. Focusing exclusively on rationality is intentionally blinding yourself to messy reality.
Paywall is in the way. If you are listed as a co-founder, it should apply to you. You have meaningful participation.

The US owes US dollars and can also issue US dollars. There are complications but it's not like you run up a credit card and can't pay.
> Generally both sides, or all sides really, want the same things and disagree on how to get there.

No, that is just not true. For example, do you think Putin and his supporters wanted a functioning democracy in Russia and independent Ukraine? No, they wanted someone functioning as a dictator to restore Russia's cold war territory and influence, and they wanted to undermine western democracies that stood in their way.

History does not support your claim that everyone wants the same things. Some people want power and strong man to take over the government. We see that with the Trump administration. The religious conservatives want to use that to make America a Christian nation. The billionaire libertarians want to use it to deregulate their industries and run the government like a corporation. And Trump wants to act unilaterally to bring about his vision of being seen as some great figure. They have illiberal aims.
Right. The only sort of person who could write something like this is a person who is not affected (or percieves themselves to not be affected) by "politics."
Reminds me on 'the town' in the book Damon Copperhead.
Its worse than that. Its like saying you must have used chat gpt because you answered that 2+2= 4 and gasp so do the LLMs! Nevermind that its just the obvious answer to the question.

Lets see the prompt. The prompt further down in the thread that reproduces it was asking how to use tariffs to balance trade deficits with a 10% minimum. Is there any other answer then set the rate such that the deficit goes away or 10%, whichever is greater? No. That's just the answer to the question and is why ALL LLMs give the same answer.
> (Another tip: Don’t bring votes into discussions, it’s both against site guidelines and laughable.)

Honestly: thank you, I didn't know that and won't do it again.
You are downvoted but this never mentioned indeed. I have a hard time finding how much us Europeans pay in tariffs on stuff from China and the US.
Thank you for pointing that out. I am afraid that AoE is probably not one of them though?

Maybe the old AoE versions will be open-sourced one day, that would be awesome.

lmao actually, I don't think they have used this site before.
Sure, but my argument was not "the federal government has never done this", but that "colleges have usually felt secure that this would not be done to them if they defended student protests", or at least, if we're being cynical, "that they would have an opportunity to walk it back if their calculations were incorrect".
America's commitment is absolutely arbitrary. There is no reason America has to defend the First Island Chain, the bases in Guam, Pakistan and Poland. We don't have to base troops near Israel or Iran, we don't need to install tripwire brigades near places of international importance. China is happy to take over for America - they've certainly got a fast-growing Navy and the commitment to deploying carrier groups abroad.

Look - I don't really see China or America as the "good guy", you won't scare me (or most liberals) by suggesting a draw-down of American forces abroad. But, any casual wargamer will tell you that this has consequences. If America gives up our hard-power military installations and forfeits our attempts at soft-power economic expansion, absolutely nothing stops China from taking America's seat at the table. If you want that, fine, but I would argue that it is an obvious problem for America's own stability and accountability abroad. We cannot make our money exporting software in a world where we can't import the best hardware.

> Israel/Palestine is a unique situation, I’ll give you that.

No, it is outright proof that your "warmonger" characterization is invariably false. The warmongers aren't the globalists, by some measures the people trying to stop infinite war are the globalists. We've tried ceasefires, treaties, negotiations and more, every time it gets interrupted by Israel. We refuse to punish them, and the motivation for censuring discontent is entirely nationalist.
Ukraine is party to those same delicate peace negotiations. Why weren't they excluded, if this is the reason why?
It's pretty incredible that a sizable percentage of North Korea's GDP derives from crypto theft. Actually about the same percentage as Spain was pulling from the Americas at the end of the colonial period.
> How is it any different from bait-and-switch or rug pulls corporate is being shamed for?

Hard agree. If you want to turn a profit from your project, make it commercial from the beginning. I have no problems with commercial tools or products, but I do have a problem with starting something as open source, gaining adoption, then changing the license later on.

It's the same BS behavior from SaaS we love to call out, when companies make a generous free tier, get users locked in, then pull the rug.

Should the community help out and contribute back to FOSS projects they use? Absolutely, but at the same time, they are not obligated to either and if a dev has a problem with that, then don't release it as FOSS.

I've published a few small tools for sysadmins, and I never expected any kind of contribution back whether monetary or otherwise, and that's OK. I wrote them for myself, and will maintain them for myself as long as they are useful to me. Others are free to use them and I don't expect anything in return.
> I would also point out that back when we ran briefly ran a surplus in the late 1990s, economists were not exclaiming about how terrible this was, or how paying off the debt represented a missed opportunity or a catastophe in the making. Everyone agreed at that time that surpluses were good, and that paying down the debt was good. The current "this is fine" thinking smacks of economists who have a predisposition to accept and justify the status quo, whether it is objectively good or not.

Oh? I remember all the teeth mashing about all those funds who have to buy treasuries and now what are they gonna doooo! And how this is unprecedented and how are the markets going to reacccct! Numerous articles about that sort of thing in The Economist and various other outlets.
