I think you have a monolithic view of the US Right. 2016 Trump Admin is heavily populist, and his administration contains a lot of genuine political outsiders. People are very dis-satisfied, and genuinely excited about these "deplorabl

I was a fan of his at one point. I did enjoy him talking about the English Civil war and Glorious Revolution, the US War of Independence, etc etc. He introduced me to the "Whig View of History". And his substack post about the lud

Author dislikes yarvin because he's a white supremacist. I dislike him because he denies Israel exerts control over US foreign policy, while repeatedly saying the Gaza Strip should be ethnicaly cleansed. He tries to pretend he's t

We desperately need some cultural norms and taboos to develop around AI usage.

The US literally had a communist agent at Yalta who co-founded the UN. To dismiss this whole period as just a "Red Scare" is kind of ridiculous considering how much actual communist infiltration there was. We won't even talk

Yes it's odd how this supposed "non-communist" first planned to flee to the Maoist Mainland when his security clearance was revoked, not the ROC in Taiwan, considering he had far more connections with the nationalists.

There were a large number of actual, convicted communist spies at high levels in the 1940s and 50s. Soviet penetration was massive. The Manhattan Project, State Department, Intelligence Agencies... this was around the time the US had an arm

I don't claim to be an expert on this case. But I can tell when things are being omitted or glossed over.

Trying to buy Qwen credits and get an API key is a challenge all in itself. So many site redirects.

I feel like this article is leaving some important bits out for the sake of a narrative. From Wikipedia By the early 1940s, U.S. Army Intelligence was already aware of allegations that Qian was a communist This predates the red scare - at

"flash" or "fast" AI models are worse than useless at coding for me. they make my codebase much worse. It's a maintenance burden. Gemini Pro on the other hand can be quite a pleasant experience.

I am really looking for more reasoned approaches to AI. I am very close to using it as a pair programmer, but with me actually coding. I am just so tired of fixing its mistakes.

Yes I understand what they were trying to do and this is the ugly hack they came up with. I just don't like it. I am not ignorant of their intentions, it just does not work well. Unsafe code is normal . Trying to hide it is unsound. A

It's worth pointing out that "unsafe" in rust is not a very sound concept - it's not like a monad or "function colour" whereby the compiler can say "this code ultimately calls unsafe". It's more

Can someone who is a more AI heavy user explain what is going on? I would expect an "AI Note Taker" to faithfully transcribe the entire conversation. With the same quality I see in a lot of automated video subtitles.. ie they use

This idea of forcing every programmer to use the same IDE is incredibly depressing. I only associate that with really low tier outfits here in NZ, to think that leading companies want to do this too is disheartening (because of course every

Are any of them profitable? I suppose you said "AI Company", and not "AI Provider", but AFAIK there are none of the latter that are turning a profit.

This is a genuinely dumb take and you should feel foolish for even thinking it. Incase you dont, consider the concept of telling an Austrian that German is a foreign language for them. If this concept confuses you, I can get wikipedia links

You've completely missed my point. Immigration is not a long term solution to an aged society. The societies of target countries are aging as well and not far behind. What you advocate is to bolster the work force of a country with a f

A lot of people would rather live in their own aged society than a slightly younger foreign one. Emphasis on slightly younger. Fertility is declining basically everywhere. Much of the developing world is now below replacement including Indi
