Well Germany with it's much more conservative population and petty kings and nobles were able to outgrew liberal Britain and republican France between 1870-1918, and so did Archconservative Russia post-1900 or so. Of course both fell i

And tbh the European demographics expansion between 1500-1800, before industrialization properly spread out from Britain [0], was the Columbian Exchange. Potatoes unlocked lots of land in the northern part. And the other unsung botany, too.

Isn't the original word for castes Varnas? As a post-Hindu culture, we used to have the four castes (I think the Balinese still use them for marriages and stuffs), but never as strict as in India. Still, the generation that destroyed i

I think the 80's and 90's answer to this issue is to make their own expies (e.g. Homelanders, DC/Marvel mutually inspired characters, etc.) Might be well and good to make open source characters? Licensed as public domains and

GPT-J is the open source equivalent of GPT-3, and Pygmalion is the open source equivalent for Chatbot. As a non-liberal living in the third world, I vastly prefer it to unjailbroken ChatGPT. Hopefully the people at open-assistant.io finish

Main issue with electric motorcycles is that it still doesn't solve the safety issue of motorcycles, especially at freeway speeds. At least e-bikes are locked at 25kph/mph. And can be folded into public transportation.

To be fair even ancient Romans used to meddle around with reducing gold and silver content in their physical coinage, resulting in the crisis of the 3rd century. And Spanish silver bullion was too bad... But yes. Much better than limitless

Yeah it sounds a lot like early Muslim stories when they've captured Ctesiphon, Damascus, and Alexandria. Hope the Taliban higher-ups are rotating these guys for down time. Maybe 3/4 of the year as bureaucrats and 3 months spent a

Carmack seems to be simulating a vtuber AI watching TV and playing video games. If anyone here is doing that too, I would recommend taking a quick look at Neuro-sama on Twitch. They're using RL to play OSU, Minecraft, and Pokemon, and

Curious, why not React Native? I never heard anything bad about it in Android and iOS (except maybe the resource usage) and at least Microsoft is putting RN as first-tier framework in Windows nowadays.

Yes but not India or Africa. Nigeria is still projected to hit 500mil by mid-century, don't they? Actually, compared to South Korea, Taiwan, and China, Japanese birthrate is the highest in the region. It's just Japan went earlier

Seems the original Tojo recipe in the article use real crab meat. Funnily, I am part of the (few?) people that actually prefer imitation crab meat to real crab meat. If only because cracking open crab shells is too troublesome.
