Interesting. Hadn't heard of American Giant. I buy AG Jeans and Robert Barakett shirts, and this is my usual outfit. However, AG Jeans ( https://www.agjeans.com/ ) is distinct from American Giant jeans ( https:/&#x2

They certainly don't have skin in the game now, either!

This article has a strong slant. If we can look past that, we should consider the claim: everyone having skin in the game is more democratic and leads to a better aligned government. Perhaps this would lead to more peace.

I do, but again, it was a rhetorical question; a paradoxical thought experiment.

the question was rhetorical. but, since you responded – do you think that there are limits to who can or should use ai? if the plumber's use of ChatGPT improved outcomes, isn't that preferable? some knowledge is likely "cache

i worry about Dioxus. not because "they're going to be destroyed by their VC funding" directly, but indirectly. is this a sustainable endeavor? does the market really want them or care about them? it's hard to consider a

while i'm sympathetic to your position, the truth is that /that/ is where this site is now.

the method for databases to talk to each other is via? if we're not talking about replicas, we're talking about coordination at the app level, right?

i think this is aligned with the author's choice. a separate schema is effectively a separate database (from a product eng perspective) with shared infra.

at one point, HN was anti-censorship. this discussion shows how ideologically aligned this concept has become. there are volleys back and forth of "what censorship" followed by links to wikipedia enumerating it. RT and Joe Rogan a

You should! Think critically about everything, friend!

You misunderstand me. I'm not saying that the Kiel Institute shouldn't be trusted, but there will appropriately be greater scrutiny applied due to its location. Which sources would I trust? I feel it's important to read broad

It wasn't a whole lot of words with no meaning, it was a response to the parent comment. > Isn't this literally economics 101? How did we ever even end up imagining that tariffs are somehow paid by the exporter?? My response wa

by dfee 9mo ago
Yeah – I think that's what the paper suggests.
81.
by dfee 9mo ago
even if we take the number presented as fact (i'm not sure we should), the articles claim is that: > "Foreign exporters absorb only about 4% of the tariff burden-the remaining 96% is passed through to US buyers." so yeah,

by dfee 9mo ago
Americans will rightly be suspicious when a think tank in Germany writes about tariff relief that benefits them. Of course, we should all be critical always – that's the first word in the term "critical thinking".

isn't this better served with something like Bazel (behind Nix of course?)

by dfee 9mo ago
same here. though, i think bazel is better for DAGs. i wish i could use it for my personal project (in conjunction with, and bootstrapped with nix), but that's a pretty serious tooling investment that I just feel is just going to be a

Well, certainly not. We shouldn’t draw conclusions about modern AI systems from multi-generation old systems: one way or the other.

Maybe true! I eat a bunch (like the formal term of 1 unit) of kale in my daily salad. That seems to be enough, alongside some Greek yogurt and blueberries to maintain me for a few hours. Can’t help eating junk carbs when I see them, though.

I too try for 200g of protein/day, with meat and supplements by shakes. It’s difficult to eat more meat than that, because of how it fills you up, its prep requirements and its cost. I don’t believe that the average American eats nearl
