Weirdly the only people I know who hates AI wholeheartedly is in tech.

Damn a GR Corolla is one of my dream cars. Super cool!

Yeah but what is a persons value economically anymore? What skillsets will enable us to continue to make a decent living till we are old?

New things are made by cobbling together existing things.

Lets see how that reasoning works out in court then. SEBI sent them a caution notice earlier asking them to stop and they didn't. Calling it a "simple arbitrage" is silly.

Standard arbitrage? JS bought stocks worth 572 crores and sold options worth an effective short value of 8,751 crores. 15x more. You dont short 15x your long position to do arbitrage. They were moving the market to suit their positions.

And I'm saying wallstreet has a reputation of breaking the rules. Like a lot. Are you suggesting regulatory bodies in the US are somehow better? The whitehouse literally has a shitcoin.

Beautiful ragebait :)

Bloomberg is not some universally unbiased source respected by everyone in the world. And SEBI is a trusted entity for most Indians. Most Indians trusting SEBI over Bloomberg shouldn't be shocking.

Again. Be better. Even if you disagree with the person you had no excuse for being such a vile person. Look inwards and fix yourself.

I hope you are a bot. Because its just sad if you are a real person with such hatred within them. Why exactly are you mad right now? Because someone called out Bloomberg publishing an incorrect article regarding India recently? And that prompted you to type out such vile sentences?

still shit on the streets

nation of slaves with desperate delusions of grandeur

build some toilets or whatever

HN, 2026.

Have you actually looked into the allegations and the response from Jane Street? By your logic companies can commit any fraud in India because if they get caught you can just say: hey cant trust the country.

No the claim that religion is a major reason for science.

How could there have ever been religious men of science?

Oh I have no problem with this. There will be religious scientists and non religious scientists. Just like there will be scientists who like red vs scientists who like blue. Being a scientist doesn't mean they are immune to broader cultural trends.

Perception is reality! Its great as long as it doesn't hurt others.

This is your second post in this thread insisting things are unconnected which is of course a commendable attempt to validate the atheist religious belief that everything is random and pointless. I don't subscribe to your religion.

I am not an atheist. Nor do I think everything is random and pointless. You have 11 comments on this topic. Discussion is the point of this forum.

religion and lack thereof correlate almost perfectly with birth rate

No arguments there. More religious people absolutely do have more kids. I want to point out that poverty/development and lack thereof also correlate almost perfectly with birth rate. Check out the countries who still have very high TFR.

But I was pointing out that non religious countries still had tons of kids before. Birth control and more choice for women have certainly brought down birth rates. India's birth rate is down to 1.9; And its a very religious country. There has been incredible progress in women's rights and they choose to not have 6 kids.

"There's a reason no atheist society has historically arisen and thrived in the way that you are suggesting. If it was possible why hasn't it happened. The idea of atheism is ancient - why has it not worked?"

Your words. I am saying its not connected to society being great. The population being religious isn't why America or Europe grew to be super powers. If your entire argument is that population is correlated with religion then I agree. I disagree that happiness and the state of a country is tied to that.

I'll give you one data point about birth rate collapse. In the US atheists have fertility rate of 1.2 (half of replacement) somewhat religious people have the rate of 3.3 and "orthodox" closer to 6.

PS. can you post your sources for those TFR numbers? Because they seem wildly exaggerated. Maybe I am looking at the wrong sources? "Data on religious fertility differentials for the 2020-2025 period in Pew Research Center projections shows a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 1.9 for Christian women, 1.6 for religiously unaffiliated women, and 2.0 for women of other religions."

Can you justify that claim?

Can you?

Feynman is a good example of that.

"Do you call yourself an agnostic or an atheist? Feynman: An atheist. Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this."

> If feynman didn't have his father (for whom religion was integral) I doubt he'd turn out who he was.

Right. If we are just gonna reach for stuff like this then I'm gonna say Feynman wouldn't turn out to be who he was if he believed in religion.

As per above I don't see it that way.

Belief without evidence. Hey I get it now!

Every society has had gods at some point in the past. Why didn't every society improve then? And China's growth has been very recent(after the 80s). And birth rates have absolutely collapsed across the world. It's not some unique Chinese/Japanese situation. Before their silly 1 child policy change China had insane population growth. As non religious people. Almost like these aren't really connected at all.

They were scientific in spite of being religious. Not because of it.

that I don't think are matched by atheism at its best

There are plenty of scientists including Feynman and Hawkings. These are unrelated things.

Large sections of China, Japan, etc are atheists. Why do you think it hasn't worked?

Counterpoint: I know plenty of very religious families with multiple kids who are deeply unhappy.

In my experience friends and family are the primary contributor to happiness. Provided they are good people. Else its a train wreck. It doesn't matter if they are religious or not.

Interesting. You save 200 euros(in germany) but lose significant CPU performance. As long as its not a chromebook its usable.

It's surprisingly fine. Not the fastest though.

What is a cheaper but good enough alternative in your opinion?

Its $600 in the states. $500 if you are a student. What is a cheaper but good enough alternative in your opinion?

The Neo changes things. Only $600.

Yeah poor people don't have sex. Neither do middle aged people. Lmao.

It's conditioning. We cannot be happy idle because society deems idleness as bad. Just like people cannot be happy with a balding hairline because society has deemed it to be ugly. If the trend changes in a century and balding is suddenly hot then the same people would be happy.

Ah I believe codex has similar issues. Terrible code quality but goes to show it doesn't really matter in the end.

Huh what moronic failure did Anthropic do? Every Claude Code user I know loves it.

It's entry-level obscenely rich club.
