What fraction of Google is owned by the engineers at Google? 5%? That's nothing compared to the bargaining power obtained by organized labor, actual socialist organization.
I mean why do you say that large tax evading organizations, operating in an extremely capitalist environment, steered by a small, unfathomably rich, group of people with uncommon and often ultra liberal ideologies, are…
If there's no shadowy cabal then why do our politicians continue to pass domestically unpopular laws? I mean, there doesn't have to be a literal shadowy cabal, the effective "cabal" could be a combination of corruption,…
Don't you think modern image analysis tools such as llms will be easily defeated by measures such as adding colored rings? A couple of years ago you could add some pixels to an image to change it's automatic…
Are you calling Macron a "leftist"? It does help your argument because it's a tautology that "the leftists failed to provide prosperity" if the entire political spectrum counts as such.
Why do you say that?
They said "there are algorithmic changes that remains to be discovered" and you said they bought into the idea that "all we need is more context". Seems like opposites to me.
Looks great! One minor correction - the `summarize` function in duckdb can also be used in CTEs etc. But you have to wrap the `summarize` in a `from` clause like this: with some_table as (from range(10)), x as (from…
This is the HTTP/1.1 standard: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2616 Then there are also HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. That's just HTTP, curl supports 27 other protocols.
Call it progress, call it "economic leverage", a very inflated stock market is no good measure for either. It's true the US economy has grown faster than the European in the last two decades, for sure, I agree with you.…
To be fair the value of the stock market is not a good indicator of progress. The US stock market is incredibly inflated. Besides, it's a bit strange to argue that it's impossible to make a change, and as proof of that…
To add to that: There are also "compounding effects" from investments made by tax money, just as for any other investments, the difference is that the compounding gains are collectively owned and not controlled by an…
That's a misunderstanding of the original argument. It's not about billionairs "doing something bad". The claim is that the only way to become a billionaire is to benefit from an unfair economic system.
Well put!
The word "extracted" does not betray a belief that value cannot be created. You can "extract" value that is created just as you can extract value that was there already. The question is not whether or not value was…
This is the worst thing about current AI agents. They never ask questions. The prompt has to be pixel perfect and unambiguous or they'll happily run away doing something ridiculous.
Hah > 6. You can make money without doing evil implies that they're doing it for fun then I guess?
Finally Firefox will get a 30% usage share!
By your definition 95% of the world population live in 'poor' countries. I guess if that's how you want to use the word that's up to you, but people outside of your bubble will literally not understand what you are…
The context of this discussion is Brazil and the intentions of the socialist Brazilian government. Are you claiming that the socialist party in Brazil intends to dismantle capitalism? In case you are unaware, countries…
There are lots of socialist countries in the world that are doing fine.
I think kids have a right to be exposed to these ideas. Stratifying society even further, only exposing select sections of the population to advanced ideas in philosophy or science, will not help build a solid…
Current AI datacenter/model development investment rate is roughly 1T/year. That's a lot. But the US economy is 33T/year. So the investment pays back (roughly) over ten years if, each year, the AI investments increase…
There's always existed misinformation in text and in images. It's been possible to manipulate photographs for as long as photography has been around. It's becoming easier for sure, but it's not really a qualitative…
8 billion checks per day sounds on the low end. I can imagine it being ten or hundred times more. That still seem pretty fine though. On the other hand, it's hard to see that such a modest energy cost would dissuade any…
