I will never understand free speech absolutists.

Ads should be marked, ingredients and components should be listed.

What possible reason would there be for a viewer/customer to not be allowed to find out such obvious info?


All the big clouds are still in market share acquisition mode. Give it about 5 more years, when they're all in market consolidation and extraction mode.

cloud providers indeed could abuse vendor lock, but LLMs are not that easily vendor lockable.

Bitcoin is one of the few real survivors of the crypto crash and even it has failed in its mission. Read what Satoshi meant and what Bitcoin is now.

It's not a coin, it's gold bars.


> Singapore is an IQ shredder.

Heh, I've just realized about 2 years ago that it's worse.

Cities are people shredders. Based on the information I've found, cities have lower fertility rates than rural areas and this has been the case ever since they were created.

I absolutely love cities, but with ever increasing urbanization and unless we make HUGE changes to facilitate people easily having kids in cities (and I'm talking HUGE, stuff like having stay at home parents for the first 6-7 years of their childhood, free access to communal areas that offer all the services required to take care of kids of any age, free education, etc), humanity will probably not be able to sustain a population of more than say, 1 billion people. Probably much fewer.

Which I guess, could work, but we will be in totally uncharted territory.

And then AI comes in and things become... very interesting.

At some point rich people stop caring about money and only care about power.

It's a fun thought, but you know what we call those people? Poor. The people who light their own money on fire today are ceding power. The two are the same.

At the end the day a medieval lord was poor but he lived a better life than the peasants.

> At the end the day a medieval lord was poor but he lived a better life than the peasants.

As measured in knowledge utilized during basic living: The lives of lords were much less complex than that of modern poor people.


1. Some people can afford to light a lot of their money on fire and still remain rich.

2. The trick is to burn other people’s money. Which is a lot more akin to what is going on here. Then, at least in the US, if you’re too big to fail, the fed will just give you more cash effectively diminishing everyone else’s buying power.


In regards to 2: it's as simple as not letting it be your money being set on fire. Every fiscally responsible individual is making sure they have low exposure to the mag 7.

If a house near you were abandoned, could you do something about it?

Perhaps, but how is it relevant? I responded to a question of what are possible downsides of a mom and pop store next to your house.

Everything has a downside. The American approach is to take the absolute worst possible outcome and plaster it over any average scenario.

>Everything has a downside.

Well, you should probably respond to the person who could not figure any downsides of a mom and pop store in a residential neighborhood because I am well aware of the downsides.


> All of that is simply common sense.

Is that why we have legal codes spanning millions of pages?


> A few decades later, we have audio compression that is much better and higher-quality than MP3

Just curious, which formats and how they compare, storage wise?

Also, are you sure it's not just moving the goalposts to CPU usage? Frequently more powerful compression algorithms can't be used because they use lots of processing power, so frequently the biggest gains over 20 years are just... hardware advancements.


I'm using it on Framework Desktop 128GB RAM... Its scroll is utterly broken outside of VS Code for me, on Gnome Terminal, Tilix and a few others.

And even in VS Code, it wonks out after a while.

My guess is that it mostly works on Apple devices.


Is it better than OpenCode?
