Where are the hackers?

I’m building a high-signal tech + geopolitics + markets link/discussion board.

Want to come join with me?

"Norms" are not equal throughout the world. I live in Zürich(but I'm not from here) where the city is not totally dominated by car traffic. They are actively trying to get rid of cars from the city centre.

I frequent the UK. They literally put up BARRIERS around crossings to make it difficult for pedestrians to "jaywalk". I can hardly believe it!

Except on a much grander scale…

Opportunity cost. Instead of cheap energy for the local Norwegians, it is being used by the global capitalist elite.

We see this pretty much everywhere now, where resources are extracted and given to the wealthy.

The current USA leadership is hostile to the rest of the world and we need to know what the fuck they are going to do next.

Sort of how the police should keep tabs on violent criminals.

There is no "dehumanising".

How do we know these price cuts weren’t simply due to manufacturing of electric cars getting cheaper as the manufacturing process improves?

I love all those things, started coding as a 10 year old(30 years ago).

The stuff I’m building is things I could only dream of before. With LLMs, I can build things in a year that would have taken me a lifetime before.

That was always a dumb argument.

If the pole is willing to work for a third of the price the local(I'm assuming Englishman), of course it is detrimental to UK labour.

Pretty good for the capital owning class, though.

No, but someone who has trained their whole life to run fast, surely will be able to coach someone else to run faster than someone who has been on the couch watching television?

I use LLMs to great advantage, solving problems in my domain. I no longer make for loops.

But isn't part of the problem that you simply don't have access to the hardware larger organisations do? OpenAI certainly run into the same constraints. but if they have access to terabytes of memory, while when you use the same model it's closer to 32GB, that will surely affect how the model behaves?

So the pain points you and I frequently run into, simply don't exist for a well connected individual(Sam Altman).

If Putin uses nukes, everyone will stop trade with them. Russia would be shunned. It would be suicide.

That's not at all a fact.
