It doesn't have to be homogeneous or rural, you just have to address the grievances, make sure everyone is adequately housed, has access to medical attention, and has something to do; and then you get peace.

It isn't done enough to share yet, but I've been having fun experimenting with a knowledge graph backed by sqlite, using the tool call schema from mcp-server-memory. My main gripe so far is that I have to push the agent to maintai

if you can't define a threat model, or know why you need one, you will write vulnerable code.

I've gotten a lot of good work done with deepseek models. Like with any generic harness there's some tuning that has to happen. I used open code for a while, but I've landed on pi.dev as my go to since its easier to tune and

Eh a death squad is a death squad tbh. I mean maybe, but China's industrial strategy isn't well served by war. I just don't see the structural incentive.

Peace for who? Like just look at the last 50-70 years of US intervention in LatAm. Backing a series of coups and extremely violent right wing dictatorships. The issue is one of incentives. The US needs cheap foreign labor because of deindus

> The fact those plans also have subclauses ensuring the party elite are made even more wealthy and powerful is less alluring Our oligarchs do that too and all we get in return is declining infrastructure and paranoia.

Isn't the issue here the lack of accountability? Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don't think its a foregone conclusion that governments are fundamentally corrupt. Ours certainly is and we have a very weak constitution which make

Evolution doesn't work like that. What we have here is a dead end. For whatever reason, this system isn't advantageous from an evolutionary perspective, so we don't reproduce. That's natural selection.

Glazing? I stated an historical fact. What doesn't math for me is why we care so much what kind of economy other people decide to have. Eastern Europe isn't soviet anymore obviously. They can make their own choices.

My impression is that China has a pretty high standard of living. They have been extremely successful in reducing poverty over the last few decades. You should see how shiny even some of the third tier cities are.

It seems obvious to me that a complex society needs a privileged class to function, but I don't think it's self evident that every kind of elite class would behave in the same way.

Not to be too pedantic, but my understanding is that the transition to agriculture was not a singular event like this. Afaik this process of forced technological displacement is a relatively recent development connected to the rise of capit

I would read that meta study. Especially if they verify and compare methods.

We kill people all the time, what's the difference? Isn't it a sovereign nation's prerogative to do whatever they want? That said, it is our prerogative to be nosy and violently mess with other people's affairs too so..

We didn't try communism as far as I know. We hunted it down and murdered it in its cradle if I'm reading the CIA declassified archives correctly.

With LLMs you can make 20 websites and still not really understand the language. For learning you really do have to type the code out yourself. That's how you build familiarity and understanding. Reading code is a good starting point,

Yeah some hardware combinations are just broken. IF ur lucky everything will just work, if not you can likely fix it with enough skill. That's better than nothing, but understandably frustrating if you accidentally pick a bad combinati

Sometimes a project is largely whimsy and I don't think that's a bad thing. People don't "seriously" use 9front either, it kinda exists because there's a group of people who just want to make a unique thing. I

From what I understand about the Texas facility, SpaceX has also not honored their agreements regarding protected wildlife zones in the area. Damage from explosions is understandable, but they apparently not taken sufficient precautions to

Western culture is hierarchical, hierarchy isn't inherently Western. Lots of cultures do it.

Oh I see. I guess that's one way of looking at it. I tend to favor appropriation because it simplifies the accounting. You don't need equal outcomes exactly, you just ensure that everyone has their basic needs met and the ability

Yeah I guess we're talking about different things. Thanks for clarifying.

by r14c 4mo ago
I think we're talking about different things then. Nobody is asking for equal result. Equity means sharing the rewards of productivity, instead of allowing a group of people who do nothing get rich off of other people's hard work.

Ranked choice voting allows for instant run off elections. Should have a similar effect without requiring a full redo of the election.

Could you expand on that? My concept of fairness is pretty congruent with equity.
