Disallowing foreign talent and relying on domestic potential the USA will inevitably fall to the scientific level of the rest of the competing nations. The latter are not attracting talent due to various reasons like language barrier or low

Imagine the boost to Linux if Microsoft completely locks down Windows, not allowing app installations. At first it will be a pain but after some time it will become a blessing for open source. This will happen in mobile devices.

End of sideloading means end of 95% of site visits for me, just because of the ads flood. Only HN and the like will survive. And I don't want to pay 4 digit sum for a phone that wholesale costs 30.

Two loopholes in HN: allowing throwaway accounts and showing unreasonable tolerance to obvious LLM generated comments. A strict account filtering only for humans and acute ban for any LLM content will minimize the impact. But then you take

After 5000 years of human organised war history we are here: * the weapons can annihilate the world and extinguish civilization in a few hours * a massive asymmetry between the enemies in any metric is evident * the strikes and battles are

Europe replacing US cloud, MasterCard/Visa and Google Play Services? Let's not talk about US based social media, Github/reddit and Nvidia/hardware stuff. Not in a hundred years with the current speed of things and fragme

Taxation of the huge companies is obviously different than that of others. An army of accountants and lawyers work to find law loopholes to inflate the expenses. And then bribery can come to play. Which public servant can resist millions of

The last spike in RAM price was after an earthquake in Taiwan in April 2024. Now, the shortage will continue until about 2027 when new factories will start shipping.

An open source replacement of proprietary SW is very easy in the beginning but becomes hard quickly. You grab a Linux distribution and the App that match the functionality at best and call it a day. But the next day a bunch of problems aris

Banning apps installation outside PlayStore will be a disaster for power-ish users and will start a fight between Google and community. I abandoned rooting my devices because I could achieve all I wanted through apps (mostly ad- and nag-fre

Its a correlation result and not causation. The author makes a mistake, off course. Mental diseases have effects since deep in a young age and push for increased marijuana use, but also nicotine, benzos and, may be, obesity, aggressiveness,

Social media, at least, are reaching the state the smoking had in the 80's when it started to be banned. After an era of praising (00's) scepticism followed (10's) until an underage ban comes (20's). Maybe in the 30&#x27

CEOs are a mix of scary, funny, innovative and naive persons. It's the first time an LLM is compared with a human in terms of energy. I will not comment the foolishness and superficiality of the quote. I would add that a human can meet

Great work. Some points: 1) many substances are drugs, others foods and others natural elements. Nootropic is such a wide term 2) non-blindness is a major source of error. Mental function has a huge error bars with many causal factors and n

There are many dimensions and possible pitfalls here. Uncertain mechanism of action, objectionable comparison arms, the high-bar goal of resistant depression that might lead to failure. This seems like a mix situation of a new type of antid

China doesn't want as a prime goal to become world leader. They just want to expand their infrastructure, science, production, everything for their own prosperity. If there is no other competitor left, then world leadership will be a b

Possibly the GP means percentage change in the last few years. Europe was high and got worse, Russia is always low and has nothing to loose.

Welcome to the Corrupt State situation. This is how developing, poor and struggling nations function. I hope it will not last long because the US citizens don't deserve it (although the same is said for every other nation)

"Healthy mind in a healthy body", the ancient Greek tradition suggested. For me as N=1, training after thinking is easier than the reverse.

Haha, I take it as a compliment for now. Being not a native English speaker and managing to tie an LLM is a little flattering. Besides, Sirens are mentioned in Odyssey.

EU fixes textile waste. What about plastic waste that dwarfs any other polution with the forever chemicals? No economy dares to touch this subject seriously.

There are two points in MRIs that limit or (better) regulate their use: * financial cost vs level of care. A full body MRI costs a huge sum but it is the most detailed non-invasive diagnosis we have for any disease that can lead to earlier

Many stuff are addictive, some legal (smoking, gambling), some legal with prescription (drugs) and some illigal (opioids). Infinite scrolling, either video only (yt shorts) or mixed content lies in the first category. This is a war one figh

From the peak-civilization of Ancient Greeks a steady slow decline started and continued until the calamity of 5th cent AD. Pick your start of middle ages sometime there. For a very long time a dark cloud was hiding the sun of wisdom until

The hunt has started: EU burocracy vs TK. In the past EU has rarely directly attacked a single company with so specific points. But anytime they remained consistent and dedicaded to their target and usually won. It just took a long time (fr

Well, I dare to say my belief. The whole setup of the last 15 years and publication frenzy after the (obvious) murder of JE, is pushed as agenda of the Secret Western World government to keep the leaders as hostages. Their is a legal gun po

The same companies that sell addictive stuff to kids give them an aid to abstinence. They are kidding us all. Better have multiple levels of defense. National firewall, school ban, parent supervision, phone lockdown. Only then the exposure
