I don't mean it as a cost benefit thing, but people thinking that family is important, that they want and need family there for them in their old age, and so on. The need for all of that is considerably different in modernity and more

How aggressive are those incentives really, compared to cost of childcare? Do they fully cover the cost of daycare and education for the kids for 18 years, alongside paying for a larger home? > But financial and other inducements are fai

Why did people want to have them in the past, and what shifts do you think could undo industrialization enough to return to that? The economic value of kids and the relative surety that kids will provide for you in your old age are I think

Proxy that makes Twitter links embed on discord, for whatever reason. Something about api access without accounts I assume

The author talks about the Roman and Renaissance eras specifically during this, so I don't think he would disagree that they have previously done the empire and colonizing stuff. He even says maybe that's why Italy attracts so man

I think the last part was touching on how Italians are also doing this and coming to tacky restaurants or etc? It feels like the author is guilty about being complicit in it to me

I'm hoping I never run into this, but it's a little reassuring that it would be so stark at least.

Okay, good on you, but do you think every other person does this as well? I wasn't even aware warming up the engine would change my brakes until this thread. Honestly I thought the brake pedal was electronically connected to the actual

So far haven't we seen the opposite? Consumer focused ram production shutting down to make more volume for server dimms or etc?

Do you want to click through and spend money on the ads? If not you aren't really working towards them paying a lot for ads, right?

Food prices rising has been a political hot topic for the last few years. Voters would have your head for any obvious action that made beef get more expensive, especially NIMBY groups and current ranchers.

Make the companies constructing a DC pay a bond or whatever for the new power plant, and don't give them tax subsidies. Easy enough?
373.
by nemomarx 5mo ago
You might remember the current president cutting renewable subsidies and adding regulation to slow down building them?
374.

I think at least it would be hard to get a nimby protest movement going with those conditions. Maybe add in building it somewhere people can't see it?

If you want people to support anything, show them how it benefits them. Do it as directly as possible - new jobs in their town, lower energy bills from a new plant, etc. People will generally follow the money. What won't work is someth

If I could pick from any possible retirement plan, I'd want in on the UK pension system that's guaranteed to beat inflation and earnings growth. Until the money runs out, at least!

Copy the same way people can star projects to the new platform too, but maybe allow people to buy them directly from you to cut out the middleman. It could be very efficient.

I'm thinking like "you had 200 GitHub stars before coming to us so we start you with 200 stars" as a migration process. maybe they wouldn't be as reputable but everyone knows it's gamed anyway, so why not?
379.
by nemomarx 5mo ago
What stops a new platform from just mirroring GitHub stars on import or something, actually?

vti slightly out performs s&p I think? or it has for the last few decades for sure.

At least all the index funds are obligated to, right?

Is there any real reason to have generated announcements anyway? You could get more polished text with some copy editors and I can't imagine cost is really a big concern for it.

Sure, but in this case we know the user told their llm to go find open source projects to do this and then to write the blog posts. If it did all that unprompted we could talk about model liability I think, but this isn't a case where

Yeah if it's only 25 percent that's not as bad as I expected. I would have thought closer to half?

If there end up being useful workflows where you keep stuff running in the background or overnight that's one advantage, compared to a data center that might cut off your access during peak hours or etc. Think of it like having a graph

I don't think it's their fault for not making code without exploits. I do think they should try and close them in a timely fashion when the exploit is pointed out though - the longer they wait the more chance bad actors find it in

Isn't this solveable by Anubis or similar? if you just want to add some costs to bots you can do that directly and it'll be pretty invisible to humans

That's a pretty low threshold, but isn't the goal of the tax to make you sell the bungalow so someone can live in it? This seems like a policy working as intended if it's really worth 350k

"going after the rich", yeah? millionaire is still generally understood as an economic class by voters.
