The part where you are forbidden from using a web browser that isn't Safari (Chrome + FF use Safari under the hood) without jailbreaking the phone? On my Android phone, I installed Firefox. It synced my extensions and installed uBlock

The part of China's system that's delivering those gains is the capitalist part, though. It's not the SOEs and government that are creating good jobs.

The US did not have to occupy Japan and deal with rebels - the emperor surrendered unconditionally and the US fed the existing pro-democracy movement while rebuilding the country. If you look at the US' history of interventions, the co

Is it? AI isn't going to be a winner take all market. Competition between American AI labs and even Chinese ones have seen to that. The winners for AI will be the product companies, because soon enough the top-tier models are all going

There are thousands of cops if not a million outright. I don't think this will be a problem.

I find this take to be very distasteful. These folks (in CA at least) have a marginal tax rate in excess of 40%. In the US they are the main payer of federal income tax - income tax that is then mostly used to fund social programs. Double

The only situation in which 2A will stop mattering is if the government decides it is willing to level American cities to achieve its future goals. You cannot kick down doors with AI. You cannot infiltrate meetings with AI (well, at least

This is a terrible plan to get those devs onboard, and unless your theory is "these companies are idiots who don't know how much to pay for devs" they're still gonna try and find ways to hire them. Really, it sounds like

I am an employee. My power is getting things done so that people pay me money so that I can do other things that are not work. It is difficult for me to imagine a world where a tool makes me more productive while also reducing my value, s

The point of the Edison motors approach is that you can just drop in a diesel engine - their initial goal is to electrify trucks used for industrial work in Canada by making them series hybrids. It will work great for them because these tru

Even in the US, I4 engines are by far the most popular. Most consumer cars are built for fuel economy with the one notable exception being the suburban tacticool pickup truck, which are often modded to burn MORE fuel. It does not hurt that

You say this like it's a bad idea. These VLA models are going to be even more disruptive than the coding models because otherwise it's prohibitively expensive to set up an industrial robot for most uses. My main doubts about Tesla

I personally like using AI at my job and would resent being forced to join a union which opposed it. The way that I guarantee my job treats me well is by being willing to quit whenever it stops working for me. Despite everyone panicking ab

If without an LLM maintaining three apps is 3x the work and an LLM is a multiplier, then it's still 3x the work. These are not magic. If you have to maintain consistency and security across three different apps written in three differe

The libertarians get a lot of things wrong, but generally they would agree that it's not a real market if people are getting coerced. I'm not convinced that the system they want to build would actually protect people, though.

I think FSD is very impressive, even if it is still pretty unsafe. Tesla clearly has at least some AI chops, and if Musk can bullshit for long enough, they might have enough time to make these robots more than just props.

by SR2Z 8mo ago
Having 3x the apps generally means having 3x the support burden, and this is true with or without LLMs.

But this is my point. People say "unregulated market" and assume that means reverting to feudalism, but what it actually means is just... less regulation.

There is some value in producing a lot of solid hardware, but nowhere even close to Tesla's absurd valuation. I think they are perfectly capable of writing software to drive the robot - if Musk doesn't stick his head in like he di

The elephant in the room when talking about EV repair costs is Tesla's gigapress that they use for the Model 3/Y. It's excellent and cheap (at least it is now after thousands of customers have been used as guinea pigs and sol

This is just painfully and obviously not the reason why childcare is so expensive now. Labor costs are higher these days (Baumol's cost disease), regulations have become more strict because we are more protective of our children, and

I'm very disappointed reading the replies to your comment. It's pretty clear that most people just saw a long set of words that wasn't full-tilt negative and assumed you are pro-camera. I read it and I admire what you accomp

Almost nobody on either side of the aisle likes the government putting up cameras in their neighborhood. It's a reflexive reaction that Americans have to the government stepping on them. They get away with digital surveillance because

An unrelated market is an oxymoron. You could come to my house and put a gun to my head, but that's not a consensual trade. That's just thuggery; the point of a market is that both sides benefit from trade. For markets to exist,

Right, the biggest driver of global economic growth is not based on engineering at all, and these people (who've made massive amounts of money) clearly don't know how to describe the work they do.

Yeah, I'm kind of disheartened by the number of people who still insist that LLMs are an expensive flop with no potential to meaningfully change software engineering. In a few years, they'll be even better than they are now. They&

A large part of why the government has slowly accumulated these powers is because Congress has been abdicating its power to the President under both Republican and Democratic administrations since the early 1900s. The first change I would m
