> My city in South India could be an outlier but I see green EV number plates everywhere.

I too see Green EV number plates more that I used to before. I live in a Tier 3 city in South India.


> but based on overwhelming evidence, progressives will not criticize Islam, Islamic regimes, or cultural practices.

Same observation from my third world country


> The fired writers should get together start their own publications.

What if the next version of AI model gets trained on their work ?


Just like when google started - get ahead, and stay ahead.

Google returns the best result based on both it's calculations, and click history of what clicks were most successful for a search.

LLM's don't really have that same response partially because it's strength is writing one sentence many different ways. The many different ways to write a sentence doesn't mean it's the best way. If it can write deep sentences, keeping a coherent, connected arc through sentences and stories

LLMs' also generally return the "best" answer as the most "common" one, without weight towards outliers as easily that might be the most true, or the best.

The definition of what is "good" and "correct" can also vary quite a bit, especially with writing.

AI can be configured to look for patterns humans might not see, but we also know humans can see things and scenarios that LLM's aren't trained on and can miss getting to.

As we can tell with AI copy, it all starts to sound the same even if it's new. Real writing ages differently. It can be much more of a finger print. This is an area I'm hoping to learn more about from the talented writers in my life - it seems the better the writer, the more they can see the holes of LLM and also be the best power users of LLMs by their superior ability to use words whether they realize it or not.


> Y Combinator the company has shown to be openly pro-Trump.

Paul Graham is pretty anti-trump if you follow is twitter account.


PG isn't the boss any more. Last I heard, the current YC CEO was applauding Larry Ellison's plan for pervasive monitoring of American citizens, for example.

> The Burj Khalifa only cost one and a half billion dollars when completed in 2010.

You have to consider labour costs are significantly cheaper in Dubai.


> but it has a ton of heart and forward thinking people (which is why industrialists are scared of it).

You can check the name of the party in power to check what industrialists are scared of.


I'm a communist ;) The party in power is CPI-M and the BJP hates them. Good!

Yeah, at the end of the day they need to go to Bangalore or Gulf to work. So, who cares which party is in power in Kerala ;)

I don't know what you are on about. You have pivoted to politics needlessly.

Current administration is investing in renewable energy. You are making them seem climate change deniers.

Keep your politics to reddit.


I don't know what you are on about.

Your current administation stopped large offshore wind projects and uses the slogan "drill baby drill".


We are talking about India here...

Oops. I assumed it was about Trumpism. :)

While it's clear the parent poster was talking about another country, I'll add in the context of your reply: The current US administration is pushing low-carbon pro-nuclear energy which for one plant replaces hundreds of wind turbines.

No rss feed ?

That's a major sticking point, but I am yak-shaving so hard that I ended up in a complete re-build of the static site generator and am currently in the middle of that... RSS hopefully coming in a few months once I find time to finish that process.

I wonder how much impact shadcn had on their business.

> But it will not benefit the poorest - social welfare schemes do that, but anti-homeless measures cancel it out.

Can you explain what you mean by anti-homeless measures ?


The other comments address it well. In the Indian context, I'd say it's all the slum demolition drives that have happened of late, often with questionable reimbursement if any.

"Hostile architecture" is a keyword to search here if you are more interested in the topic -- aka architecural elements meant to discourage certain segments of the population from existing in certain spaces.

Spikes on ledges and floors, splitting up a park bench with armrests, all measures intended on preventing homeless from sleeping there.
