great distraction for the masses from the files

sure as if laws apply anymore. who enforces any of this when the DOJ is run by the president's personal lawyer?

most bricke and mortar should have at least 1mg tablets, and you can break those in half. or break a 3mg into 3rds. not perfect but should work.

sure if you're just taking it as a dietary supplement, but clearly OP is using it as a form of sleeping pill. which is also fine but just seems like mental gymnastics.

It's funny you talk about treating the root cause, and take magnesium, instead of addressing the workplace stress factor.

well if you ask claude how to implement something, you may not always get the optimal solution. this feels like something claude would spit back at you given a basic prompt

expat is usually synonymous with fire/retire early. most people move to spain or portugal and see their purchasing power multiply.

project 2025 is also just about the wholesale destruction of the opposition, including academia.

anecdotal but a good number of people have clearly stopped working as much or quiet quit. some even left the company or the industry. CEOs are also telling everyone to 5x their output, AI will replace them.

Whatever productivity gains models are giving us is being eaten away by other factors.

if you've ever bought and sold a house, you will know people who look at deeds and titles aren't very detail oriented. they even have title insurance because it happens so often.

that's not the issue, Elon is just a petulant child that is losing the ai game ever since he left OAI. Elon wanted full control, and that dispute over control is the central issue.

Elon is 100% a for profit person, it's just a 10 year rivalry between Sam and Elon.

most retirement systems assume at least stable population growth. if the system can't sustain itself, debt borrowing can be done but eventually creditors will come calling.

what it means in practical terms is the destruction of the modern social safety net. some declining birth rates are ok but places like Japan, Spain, and South Korea look disastrous.

wow, that's really high. average price for the us is maybe $0.25 kwh adjusted for AUD

very jealous of how cheap AUS solar prices are. < $1 AUD per watt after rebate

awesome, now you can spend your money burning tokens to enable burning your retirement

The US is trending towards a Russian style oligarchy and these latest moves are just one of a wider pattern of trying to suppress academia, freedom of speech, personal freedoms.

right my point is these are 1 time investments, locals will be dealing with the consequences and most of the workers will just leave after the job is done.

What's the value add for states and cities? data centers don't create a lot of long term jobs, the skills required are highly specialized and will probably hire out of state. the construction itself will likely hire locals but that can't go on forever. these centers are loud, increase power costs and water usage.

feels like short term job creation program at best.

Has anyone actually seen true business lift from agents or is this one of those "do stupid things faster" situation?

So China is just claiming that anyone who is ethnically Chinese should be pressured? Manus is in Singapore and has no direct connections to China physically and financially. SG offices, SG product, SG founders with family on the mainland.

models are great but models don't magically fix things. you need to set up systems to handle the output of code, you need to instrument metrics to llm to listen to and flag. experimentation is a huge problem, with the huge output of code, how to you keep your business metrics clean and isolate issues. these are all hard challenges.

in response, most companies are explicitly trading velocity for quality, and finding out that quality is actually important at the end of the day. if you look at the roadmap it's just ship ship ship. eng is being told to 3x their output. quality in the llm coded world is tough and there's not much appetite for it right now.

really struggling to understand where this is coming from, agents haven't really improved much over using the existing models. anything an agent can do, is mostly the model itself. maybe the technology itself isn't mature yet.

I really don't think he thought it was equivalent, he was just larping and thought he could trick people.

they will get poor people to die fighting each other, as it works today.

As if this isn't intentional or an added benefit. AI is the wet dream of the capital class, no need to negotiate with greedy workers asking for rights and benefits. There will be a chasm between the wealthy and everyone else. the future is looking more and more like feudalism.

This is largely true for almost all US public services. Decades of focusing on the needs of the 1% is producing a situation where almost everything is under funded or poorly implemented. Critical infrastructure isn't a priority.

You mean, what's been happening to the USA? this isn't a new trend. Militarization of police, open attacks on democracy, unilateral foreign policy moves.

the country jumped the shark post 9/11 and has been on a slow rot since then.

probably not far outside the realm of what rfk has actually done.

Except for all the other blatantly unconstitutional rulings in his favor. Presidential immunity one will go down in history as a black stain on America and the courts.

and still this current ruling was a 6-3 vote.

while it sucks, paying for it out of pocket is probably cheaper if you can't get it covered. In the long run, $1500 as a bridge until your 40s feels cheaper than stage 4 cancer.
