There's a Chinese saying from more than 2000 years ago: When one steals a weapon, they are executed; when one steals a country, they become a king. How the world has always worked, sadly, ha.

> They did 100,000,000 forced abortions, killed tens of thousands of their own people and covered it up. lmao have you realized how absurd such numbers are (even though I'd assume the 100,000,000 can only be a hyperbole, or are you

Exactly. The strong Western societal taboo and moral panic on this topic have led to a frenzied crusade that easily bypasses reason (e.g. Chat Control), unfortunately. This is just one of the tragic consequences.

The crusade and strong Western societal taboo/moral panic on this topic clearly massively cloud people’s judgments (e.g. Chat Control in the EU), unfortunately.

No matter your perception of PRC, I don't see how competition around open-weight models has much to do with a "global police state".

Curious, what’s exactly not true about these? The Nordic (and Central European) countries are surely not friendly to people accumulating wealth, and it’s a widely known fact that monetary supply got out of control especially since Covid. Da

I looked through some related recent discussions, interestingly somebody[1] pointed out that this has long been the case in some countries where the military service is mandatory, such as Switzerland (even though the threshold of continuous

Yeah, by such definitions any country is justified to wage a war and always find a way to claim it’s for self-defense (which is indeed how most causus belli have worked throughout the history – they always claim to have the moral high groun

Sounds like a weird incentivization for sure. Why not base the pension on the average over all the years worked as in many other countries? When you offer such incentives, people will naturally work in such a way.

> It demands people ask: Do you prefer Hong Kong's past? Or its future? Such a formulation is either sheer ignorance or worse, full-on deliberate cynicism. Hong Kong's "past" was a typical colony where the governor wa

Not sure it’s a “long-running Internet movement”. You make it sound like one of those loony anti-science conspiracist agendas. There have been a lot of serious articles written about it. I don’t think it’s hard to believe that a lot of scie

Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind is another book on these topics which is rather comprehensive and compelling.

Good that I saw this post on its last day of opening. Gonna pay a visit today. Typography is fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

It's mindblowing how the majority of the comments here seem to be rather cynical and distrustful. I'd be really discouraged if I were the author. I (as an engineer) found the article rather well-written and convincing! Well, at le

That's the whole point of the article: It's not about "decoration", but about making the underlying UX flow make coherent sense.

That's a similar thing to clothing though. You may argue how it can be manipulated all you want, but people do think in this way and it's a socially agreed upon contract to show you care enough about the occasion and have enough r

That doesn't seem to be talking about exactly the same point as the article is focusing on though.

I was wondering about grammar checking tools in the era of LLMs, especially for grammar checks beyond English, and Sapling https://sapling.ai seemed decent. Nobody seems to have mentioned it here?

You can always come up with criticism for anything. Do they deliver some interesting ideas (while understandably they might oversimplify some other aspects) and are not complete frauds? If so there is some value in them.

They’ll be fine and will survive regardless, but their current astronomical valuations probably won’t be.

Weird that it shows that to me at first as well, but now when I opened the article again, the video seems to be available? Not sure if it was restored just now.

From the D/M/Y date format at the end of the article, they may not be native English speakers (at least they aren’t American).

If it’s true, one idea to explain it might be oversensitivity to input (which maybe sometimes leads to withdrawal or avoidance to social situations which could be too stimulating and stressful?), which given the connection between autism an

lol that’s such wishful thinking and seeing those congressmen in a way too competent light. If they had any hard evidence they’d have published it. It isn’t hard to understand is it.

This is precisely how English is the lingua franca of developers around the world, and a lot of (not all, of course) companies in e.g. Germany or Japan hire English-speaking programmers.

Funny how when I read Brave New World it greatly got on my nerves, mainly due to how it's supposed to be a "dystopian" novel. To me it indeed depicted a dream world in so many ways.

Interesting perspective, and it's hard to disagree with the idea that there are people who are more outliers than some others on either end, which is just a natural result of any distribution, though I think another angle to this topic

Of course. That doesn't mean they are not familiar with the local traditional system though. They just can use both, as in many other countries such as Japan and China and in the Middle East for example.

This is great! I've been using Amethyst so far, but I immediately liked Aerospace more. The main gripe I have with Amethyst is that it throws windows in a very sluggish and unreliable fashion. With Aerospace, windows get moved to diffe
