To add to your second point, those algorithms are extremely easy to game by states with the resources and desire to craft narratives. Specifically Russia and China. There has actually been a pretty monumental shift in Russian election meddl

I sincerely hope people like you get sent to a Salvadoran torture gulag the next time you drive over the speed limit. Because we absolutely understand no circumstances can afford a breakdown in the rule of law.

They deported a US Citizen. A child. Kept from contact from her US Citizen father. If that’s the sort of way that you believe we should treat legal immigrants, you have no basis to claim any support for them.

I would have thought so, but somehow no. I have a cursor subscription with access to all of those models, and I still consistently get better results from claude code.

That’s all fine and dandy, but if you google anything related to llm agents, you get 1000 answers to 100 questions, companies hawking their new “visual programming” agent composers, and a ton of videos of douchebags trying to be the Steve J

I kinda went down a rabbit hole a while back with certain treatments that can kill adipocytes, as there's actually some significant research backing both heat-generating and cold-generating treatments. They do kill fat cells, and the

Writing is a new phenomenon. It's certainly a novel ability, but genetically we were around for a few million years before we even developed civilization, tens of thousands more before behavioral modernity, and only in the last 10k yea

Racism is probably true, but the vast majority of the world is strongly ethnically homogeneous within country borders, so their racism isn’t as politically charged as ours is, because it’s simply not a matter of domestic policy for them. LG

Oh that’s interesting, and I’m actually kinda peeved by any database-connected system that caches responses by default. Caching should be reserved as a performance optimization with serious correctness tradeoffs. Regardless, I don’t think c

It seems like the XNU kernel is architecturally super close to the Mach kernel, and XNU drivers architecturally work like Mach drivers, but just that they are compiled into the kernel instead of running in userspace as a separate process. A

I have noticed certain groups where trans people are relatively over represented and group involvement more correlated with biological gender, but that’s not actually that interesting or meaningful in reality. Trans women having similar int

We have an electoral college that essentially disenfranchises any voter that is not voting with the majority unless your state is so close that it could be called a swing state. This affects red state democratic leaning voters just as much

The trick that makes Martin so fast is not doing any geospatial processing, and just being focused on making quick, non-blocking requests to Postgres. All geospatial processing is done by PostGIS, which is essentially just using the C++ g

The benchmarking repository has config files used for the test, and they did not use the tile cache feature.

I have that irresistible urge too, but I have to keep reminding myself that I could spend $2000 in credits over the course of a year, and get the performance and utility of a $40k server, with scalable capacity, and without any risk that th

Nothing you've said invalidates comparative advantage. It is just accepting a cost (reduced economic output) in favor of some strategic advantage. It doesn't matter if its a good idea, or a moral idea, or a strategic idea, the cos

This. There is no reason why any country should trust us anymore if entire trade relations can be destroyed by a presidential whim. Even if Trump fell out of a window today and we got a pro-trade president tomorrow, we’re not fixing this da

Good. Silicon Valley collectively sold their souls to Saudi Arabia, and put their full weight behind Trump because that’s what Saudi Arabia wanted, and now they are gonna get what they deserve. I hope their wealth is destroyed to the point

There are people (notably, Ha-Joon Chang) that have claimed that those protectionist policies have made South Korea more competitive, but I think you'd find a lot of economists disagree with that, and that South Korea become competitiv

The best (if not only) valid argument for tariffs is that they can be used to negotiate lower tariffs. Because tariffs only serve to reduce trade, which mathematically is suboptimal for economic output, and has been recognized as such by ne

I'm completely convinced that F# (along with Scala, Haskell, and OCaml) adoption has stalled due to having ridiculously bad build systems. More significantly, they are being passed up in favor of Rust, which is a great language but non

Conditions for admissibility are one thing, and you can be denied entry for any thought crime that the government wants to impose. Once you are in , you have the same rights to free speech as any citizen, and the same rights to due process
