This is very similar to George Lakoff's work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lakoff A good place to start for anyone that is interested is his book Metaphor's We Live By.

Sure, but that's not generational wealth.

Yeah, I would also assume that anyone talking about VTI wouldn't try to time the market, but that's what he was talking about so :shrug:

First, don't park it in actual cash or you'll lose value to inflation which is currently running high. At a minimum put it in treasuries. Second, trying to time the market is almost always a suboptimal strategy. The question is wh

This is the most naive comment I've read in a long time.

This isn't true unless you're limiting your reference point to Trump's second term.

If the primary user concern is "all data is public", then the utility of ATProto is extremely narrow and will likely lose to something with a different philosophy.

Is kimi making a profit? How subsidized is it by the Chinese government?

Let's compare concrete and equivalent people or institutions. I'll nominate Elon to represent "right wing philosophy" since this is a conversation about grok. What's an equivalent, in terms of importance/statur

It's more like evolution through natural selection. If you can buy a treasury that returns 3.6%, you will NOT invest money in a business that has more risk, is only returning 3%, and has no believable growth story. Even worse, if you o

That's a 3% margin which is unsustainable. It's less return than you can get from buying treasuries, which means that if they don't improve it they will go out of business.

thanks, that's exactly what I was imagining.

We may need to create a community driven version of SO. Hard for it to be a successful business these days.

Except for the part where he says that he found Go infuriating to use as a developer prior to LLMs.

> This is annoying but only needs to be solved once at the start, either by the LLM or the human guiding it. A single prompt of "Set up a uv project in this directory with Python 3.13" is enough that it's never an issue ag

The far left tends to treat humans as essentially good and plastic — corrupted by unjust systems, but redeemable once those systems are dismantled. Remove capitalism, hierarchy, scarcity, and people will naturally cooperate. The far right t

by jshen 4mo ago
pretty sure humans had hierarchy from the beginning.

by jshen 4mo ago
I think it's people that do that, not capitalism. This happens in every system that has existed in human history.

You didn't really address his main point. Will this lead to higher levels of pollution that will have real health consequences? Oddly you suggest it's not valid to raise concerns around health consequences.

I honestly can't tell what conclusion you want us to draw? The vast majority of cows raise for agriculture are not raised in the ways you describe. Beef is the leading cause of deforestation in the rainforest!

You can absolutely survive and thrive on a vegetarian diet, and there is decent evidence suggesting you're health will be better.

what?!?!

It's the leading cause of deforestation which is a major factor in climate change. It also is a major contributor to climate change for other reasons. Since you mentioned energy, it's also much less energy efficient. Isn't th

If you're trying to link clang, this laptop is not for you. It's for people that would consider a chromebook for their use case.

What model did you use? Curious if something like Opus 4.6 does a better job.

Good call out, India is likely the most viable option.

It's not clear that anything will be kneecapped. You need more than a desire to not use these products, you also need a viable alternative. Using products from China or Russia probably isn't deemed viable if the concern is politic
