It will continue to degenerate if you use LLMs to do the cleanup work.

Georgism style property taxes are only due on the sale of the property so also have the money available then.

Then you need combinatorial parties to support every possible political combination. Rather just have people vote on the policies themselves.

Citizen initiatives are the only thing that can cut across partisan lines and stop politics from turning into tribal warfare.

Maybe a fair allocation of sattelites would be proportional to the number of citizens with voting rights in the country. Maybe with some modifier about how impactful that voting can actually be (eg. citizen initiatives vs. just electing rep

Yes, they are just technology. And just like we shouldn't try to roll down the road like the wheel of a car, we shouldn't try to talk like LLMs.

Your comment is as empty as the prose from am LLM. I worry about the level of discourse LLMs train us to accept as normal. Assuming, of course, that this is even human-written.

Alibaba paid for that data though, right? They didn't hack Anthropic, they bought accounts and ran them normally. Also, you can't copyright AI outputs. So worst case they violated the ToS.

Now that China is also making them I wouldn't be surprised if they drop this. But FLIR has been doing milspec thermal cameras for over 20 years and I think the regulation certainly slowed down proliferation of this equipment in the ear

The US government obviously has no control over what China sends to Australia, so it this case the cat is out of the bag. However I can assure you the limit is still real for US companies: https://oem.flir.com/support/s

Another one is thermal vision cameras. Anything above 9fps (I guess an arbitrary cutoff to do with night-vision goggles) is export controlled. This is despite the technology being very valuable for many industrial and hobby applications.

At least you crash feet-first.

Exactly. Hair and scalp. Evolution already made a MIPS system. The thing lacking it was the test dummies that Virginia Tech uses, so now they recommend we put it in helmets too.

"correctly invalidating your cache" rears it's ugly head once again.

You reposted a link to the very comment I responded to. Yes I read it. Yes that was my response. Would it have been better to do this 20 years ago? Sure, as with most things in hindsight. Is it a lost cause? No. While the US builds its capi

PV can't be switched off once sold, coal can stop being delivered. Coal is the one that brings centralisation and dependency on external parties, unless you happen to live somewhere with large coal deposits, and even in that case you g

Their negative value isn't to productivity, but to your personal safety and quality of life, and frankly their safety and quality of life too. Accepting that people who cannot look after themselves need to be looked after by the commun

Do you also think we should get rid of sealed sewers and keeping the roads intact in order to bring down property prices? Maybe this is a sign of deeper structural issues and we shouldn't regress as a civilization but rather fix what t

The poor are impacted by lawlessness far more than the rich. No private security or fancy neighbourhoods. Cutting down on actually harmful bad behaviour (and by this I mean dealers and muggers, not broken taillights) is the best thing you c

Newer versions aren't open source, or at least have murky licencing.

Europe might have a hiccup until warming becomes more widespread and it goes back to 'normal'. The question is how long until Texas and Florida become uninhabitable because the heat isn't being shunted out to Europe, on top o

Agreed. You aren't going to convince people in India that their children should stay poor when there is an option to uplift them. That's an extra billion people of energy and material needs, all by itself.

You spend too much time online. The EU isn't bogged down with issues, it has uplifted an enormous part of itself out of abject post-communist poverty and yes growth isn't as fast, but it also isn't foisting as much debt on it

I work a lot with the geometry side of computer vision (camera calibration, 3d reconstruction etc.) and LLMs have been really bad in this space. They throw stuff at the problem until a minor improvement is made by over fitting on a testset,

You can also make squirrel-cage rotors that are auto-inductive in the sense that they resist slip from the rotating field of the stator. This is also extremely simple to manufacture and doesn't require driving separate fields or anythi

You can trigger their systems even by manually just following and unfollowing to drive account engagement. No automation required.

It's like the Martingale strategy for roulette, but if you figure out you have slightly better than 50% returns you have positive expected outcomes.

Strong statement to make when I have at least 2 datapoints contradicting it, in SaaS and embedded/robotics.
