I'm not saying Britain didn't do something _against the will of the goverment_. I'm just questioning OP's nonsense that individuals were forced to consume Opium vs not forced to consume TikTok - in both cases, clearly no

Any country has mechanisms to ban products the government deems as bad. I think the point is those are much more liberally used in China vs in the US, not that the US would be unable to do it

how did Britain force the Chinese population to consume Opium?

I doubt this wasn’t also true for young millenials or genx or boomers. 20 year-olds don’t generally want to be middle managers.

Loom is pretty great. It does one thing and does it well. It’s obvious and easy to use. It’s fairly priced. It’s a great tool for remote work!

What’s not “free” about the PC display market? Who’s preventing competition on it?

It’s also for the web index they’re all building, I imagine. Lately I’ve been defaulting to web search via chatgpt instead of google, simply because google can’t find anything anymore, while chatgpt can even find discussions on GitHub issue

This is malpractice the same way that a coder using Copilot is malpractice

I think the big mistake is _blindly relying on the results_ - although that problem has been improving dramatically (gpt3.5 hallucinated constantly, I rarely see a hallucination w/ the latest gpt/claude models)

multiple lawyer friends I know are using chatgpt (and custom gptees) for contract reviews. They upload some guidelines as knowledge, then upload any new contract for validation. Allegedly replaces hours of reading. This is a large portion o

it's _extremely_ useful for lawyers, arguably even more so than for coders, given how much faster they can do stuff. They're also extremely useful for anyone who writes text and wants a reviewer. Also capable to execute most daily

hedge funds are not the same thing as picking individual stocks. Not even close. Index funds are an averaging mechanism to reduce risk, not to maximize return (you can easily beat the average by allocating on the p75 instead for instance)
