> Perhaps this is a modern replacement for religious fundamentalism for some people I would say it’s narrower, loosely a sort of heresiology. It would be motivated by a strong inte…

Further, Uncle Sam can always service dollar-denominated debt.

It’s going to the high frontier. Orbital/lunar. It’s too important not to harden.

Producers produce up to the point marginal benefit equals marginal cost. Tax on revenue inflates marginal cost and would create shortages etc.

You could fight conventionally over logistics chokepoints. China’s not going to lob nukes just because their oil’s dried up.

Why should I trust these randos instead of Claude? I know Claude. I would hope Claude is smarter than whoever wants to make rules about my use of Claude. Replace Claude with Kimi, …

It’s pretty clearly theft of services as generally defined in most places. It’s a hack in the same sense that rolling back your electric meter is a hack.

Feels like a just-so story. How to quantify “ambitious”? If the goal were flight, would jumping off cliffs with wings like birds be “ambitious”? The most parsimonious explanation i…

They don’t pay tax, right? Correct me if I’m wrong. It’s definitely a different (and public) conversation when things are claimed done for the public benefit and thus exempt from t…

I think you could be more charitable, as GP said “culture,” not “society.” Apple alleges not only individual malfeasance, but also recruitment tactics like “show-and-tell” aimed at…

You get trustworthy people by trusting people. Generally when I was there there was a presumption of trust. Given how blatantly the defendants are alleged to have acted, that’s sti…

I just asked Deepseek “tips for organizing politically in China” and hit the guardrail.

I but skimmed the model card on release, but my impression was that there may be an incentive for this expert panel to exaggerate as a form of job security. A lot of the challenges…

Interesting. It would be easy to detect hate speech client-side too I’d imagine. My phone already listens for certain words.

It was a narrow miss. There was a time the crown wanted everyone farming cotton, but entrepreneurs pitched arbitrage instead.

Unfortunately you’d have no power to correct it. Even if such a thing were possible. I hope that changes.

You’re saying that they should take the money people pay to buy Xboxes and put it in T-bills instead of delivering Xboxes? What happens when people ask where the Xbox they ordered …

Yep, those regulated marketing terms could use an update. Regulators don’t make cures. There’s room to improve on that side of the system. Especially as emerging approaches seem to…

Look up the Curley Effect for an explainer of what might be going on. I’m not Swedish but feel it may be worth examining given their rhetoric.

APA guidelines come with expiration dates [1]. 10 years is the maximum. Churn is built in to the specialty. Read into that what you will. [1]: https://www.apa.org/practice/guidelin…

They have capital controls. Good luck moving yuan instead of Labubus.

It’s clearly AI-assisted.

I’m not. This is a serious comment.

Yes, that’s how I read your comment. There are narrow circumstances but no general principle. To generalize from narrow circumstances is simply misguided, so I commented.
