I'm not talking about conservatives. I mean I went from fresh account to unprompted groypers posting hitler hype edits and white nationalists posting happy merchant memes about the great replacement. This is uniquely an X thing. It was

I understand you can still tailor a good experience, but if you create a fresh X account the density of Elon Musk posts is genuinely absurd. There's no way he isn't putting his thumb on the algorithm to boost his reach. Also the d

I've found Raindrop to be a better stand in, but I jumped ship from Pocket a long time ago.

Advanced manufacturing requires cheap global inputs. Before tariffs, unemployments was ~3.5% and real wages were rising, and part of why wages have been rising is because the cost of goods like TVs have been falling.

It's just an immensely dumb policy. Unless we plan on manufacturing our own shoes and clothes, competitive advanced manufacturing is going to require cheap industrial inputs from around the world.

I find MacOS miserable even if the hardware is good. I can vouch for Aerospace, it brings i3 windowing to MacOS well.

I think the signal on X has been deteriorating for years. Many valuable communities that existed purely on Twitter have scattered across the internet after Elon's transformation, often to many disconnected small communities across X, M

Reforming tax incentives to prevent health insurance from being coupled with employment would be a major improvement on this front.

Clojure's performance improves dramatically with an MCP REPL server. Part of that improvement is that the LLM gets parens balancing for free.

I'm skeptical a counterexample is good evidence of creative intuition.

I hadn't heard any of these claims before. Without a source, I decided to ask chatgpt. Its assessment is that essentially every claim in this comment is false. If you think chatgpt is wrong can you explain why? https://chatg

How is it irrelevant? It establishes the base rate under specific regulatory regimes. Most of the nuclear plants that make up that base rate were built when nuclear regulations were much much more lax than they are now, and yet Nuclear ends

Most of the nuclear power that makes up that chart was built when there was significantly less regulation on reactors than there is today. Even if deregulation increased nuclear deaths per watt by two orders of magnitude (which I strongly d

I think you're seriously misunderstanding the statistic I posted. I didn't post aggregate deaths from different power sources, I posted deaths per terawatt-hour of energy produced! This figure includes deaths from every nuclear a

The harms of radiation are massively overhyped. Nobody from the Fukushima accident died from radiation sickness or radiation syndrome, and so far there's been no evidence of long term elevated cancer rates either. Meanwhile the nuclear

The cost of your proposed policies to consumers, to the Americans who can create because of cheap great Chinese printers and wouldn't be able to create under your policy... is much greater than the abstract industrial policy benefit.

If you struggle with Yabai I'll reccomend Aerospace, which I think is more performant & reliable.

I think it's less that politicians think short term, and more that voters think short term. Politicians are just responding to the incentives created by willfully ignorant voters.

It's amazing that California has so many horrible problems with housing shortages, poverty, and basic governance... and yet this is what representatives choose to concoct.

Isn't that a consequence of Zurich housing & zoning policy?
