Not sure about "easily" but I believe the idea at this point is to not escalate, drag out the war and win on economic grounds. Of course dragging things out also comes at a huge price for Ukraine but the EU/US seem to have ac

I personally would like to see East Asia more unified and less reliant on an increasingly unstable country like the US. They will collectively have to rely on foreigners more in the future anyway due to low birth rates as Japan already does

A lot of those "enemies" can't protect Ukraine which they are much more geographically positioned to defend. Plus a lot of morals go out of the window when there is a real threat and a lot on the line. Even between the new te

What part of wanting destabilisation for the most powerful country in the world is hard to understand for those that aren't from there?

We have widely used benchmarks for reasoning. And no no it does not, you need get off HN.

At the end of the day most people would agree that if something is able to solve a problem without a lookup table / memorisation that it used reasoning to reach the answer. You are really just splitting hairs here.

Is reasoning undefined? That's what usually meant by "thinking".

It is worse than you think. The country is on its knees. I go outside and no one looks happy and no one is shopping or eating out unless it is McDonalds or Lidl. No one is working, children are calling sick for school and everyone is wonder

A lot of exploitation is not even about money. Some of these platforms don't even make profit. It is about politics.

It feels like there is more bot activity then ever before. Reddit is now filled with fresh accounts, suspended accounts and bunch of content that suddenly gets deleted. It doesn't even feel like you are interacting with people anymore.

..."It is exploitation but at least it is not slavery" is a (let me put it frankly for you seen as you need it) shit argument that justifies and proves nothing.

I'm just waiting for the next massive knee jerk reaction in the stock market to start seriously investing again. AI is not going anywhere even if there is a bubble but people are going to make stupid narratives on it being over for Nvi

Did we really just bring up and contrast current exploitation to slavery as an attempt defend social media?

Went to Japan recently and the young women take social media (particularly Instagram) to a whole nother level over there. They very clearly invest a lot of time and energy into getting the best photos. A lot of the young men just look defea

Anyone studying CS now unless it is at Stanford, Harvard etc. is an idiot.

It needs to end one way or the other. A lot of men seem defeated these days when I go out in public and a lot of women are more interested in their followers than the men around them. I have seen even women below the median act severely spo

Can't see anything lost here. I'm in the awkward camp of neither being in the privileged group but I also don't check off any DEI boxes so I never benefited from it. I'm sure a lot of other people can relate. It could ha

I am talking about bias in hiring in general. I am responding that the bias in hiring towards this one country goes beyond that it is 'cheap'. It is easy to make the 'cheap' argument when you talk about outsourcing but i

Here you go, h1b hires still get paid American salaries so that throws the whole 'they get hired because they are cheap' argument out of the window: https://fortune.com/2025/09/22/india-government-re

I would say it is more sinister than just a cost-benefit analysis and plain racism in hiring. Cheap talent exists in far more places than India but somehow it almost always is India. Not only that but I have seen the strangest LinkedIn prof

I do weightlifting so taking 1.5-2 grams * bodyweight of protein makes sense. I am not American but a lot of it just looks like sodium, carbs, sugar and fat rather than lean meat.

I can program and play chess to a proficient level but I also know I can't design a good game whatsoever because the mindset required to design a truly good game seems to me to be something beyond logic and reasoning. Same thing with a
