The real question is what percentage of GDP is directly created (or continues to exist) because of the increased debt. When this metric was created the GDP was more authentic and not debt driven.

It is an open question just how much of "social media" has been similar to moltbook for many years. Or maybe Zuckerberg being an android himself just finally found his home.

I've been hoping someone can make a text based modern version of Lord or TradeWars. Having LLMs generate a lot of the gameplay and text dynamically would be one idea.

Closing the strait of Hormuz is worse for Iran and China than anyone else. Natural gas to Europe but not as big of an issue compared to Russian energy supplies. The Saudis and others have pipelines to bypass the strait. Many countries who s

Let's assume a nuclear exchange happens at some point during a war. There is a very high chance that this will cause an escalation leading to a nuclear apocalypse. Since this result is presumably inevitable at increasing frequency, it&

There has been some reporting that Mandarin and languages similar to it provide several advantages over using English. First, the theory is that a language like Mandarin can encode more complex ideas using much less memory than it would tak

It all brings back nightmares from migrating the older style EDI for healthcare data for what was HL7 XML at the time. XML is widely used still for all kinds of stuff. On some level if JSON was allowed to evolve the same way, eventually yo

If he is convicted of a crime, he should face the punishment for that. The article keeps making the point that it is the bars responsibility to "provide accountability" when the criminal justice system fails. This guy sounds awful

You're still better off with a jury trial over letting one judge make a decision. Your chances of finding impartiality among 6 or 12 jurors is much greater than taking chances with one judge. Unless you're a company or politician

It's a weird grey zone of laws where the beaches are not officially nude beaches, but they are advertised this way. Many are run by the federal park police. Most anti nudity laws are state laws and as a result, there is kind of a looph

The mechanics of the cancellation by the guilt of association should be reconsidered. The focus needs to be on the ones who are accused of crimes or accused of obstructing justice at the justice system level which enabled this to continue f

I'm kind of surprised how the political and legal network around Feeding Our Future, for example, has gone so unnoticed and underreported.

This can happen just being under investigation. Or worse, no arrest, conviction or investigation. Just word of mouth kind of stuff can do it. Employers also have a convenient privilege to maintain these narratives about a former employee. T

It's a scale between sanctions and other forms of blocking trade. Cutting off Kaliningrad will be a key part of punishing Russia as it moves more into Ukraine. There have been many instances of deliveries turned back through lithuania,

Much of this around Greenland has to do with the ongoing land and sea blockade of Kaliningrad. It hasn't been widely reported in the Western media, but it could be the next major flashpoint between Russia and the E.U. Similar to Crimea

I've been considering how feasible it would be to build a modern form of the denial of service low orbit ion cannon by having various LLMs hammer sites until they break. I'm sure anything important already has Cloudflare style DDO

Yeah cases like this have already been settled years ago. Reporters and news agencies have the right to this information and to publish it if it is in the public interest.

It seems China has won the race for EV dominance in battery technology and manufacturing. Probably not much the U.S. can do to catch up. From the insane oil needs of the U.S. Military to the gasoline needed for a functioning economy and tra

The entire reason the markets give the response wanted after a rate cut is because of the decision being made independently of politics. A politically enforced rate cut may still boost the economy in the short term, over the longer term the
