because rich fucks can't keep it in their pants? how would that be indicative of anything?

That's generally true for all LLMs, but as with any tool - you can actually use it in a way that produces actual, verifiable results. Obviously it requires a lot of work that 99% of people won't put into what is essentially seen as a 'magic black box', but I do agree with GP that Gemini is quite useful in actually breaking things down in an understandable way, compared to most other models.

My experience with it is mostly using it against an actual, academic source, where I can easily tell if it starts making things up. I wouldn't rely on it for anything that I can't confirm myself.

Poland has massive issues with curtailment due to grid overload at peak hours

Currently Solar PV output is incredibly unbalancing but hopefully batteries will offset that in the coming years

The Polish HoMM III Championship is happening right now, with last semi-finals match scheduled for 30/31 October, ahead of Grand Finals in Gdańsk 13-15 November.

h3.gg for anyone interested

shorting is not really viable anyway because you need the timing as much as the direction

it worked for the big short guys because the knew exactly when it was going to go bust

no one has had to pay back any of the loans yet. the valuations right now mean precisely nothing.

if these hold a year after an IPO then we can talk.

to be fair they did say 'organic capitalism' - which I interpret the same way as 'true communism' in that it probably cannot really exist.

real-life, unregulated capitalism lends itself to exactly what you described

You can see it plainly on the Solar PV market. The likes of Trina, JA, Jinko, etc. all compete aggressively, leading to everyone running at a loss in order to corner the market, and then after a few years the government steps in and orders all of them to raise prices. Happened again at the beginning of this year, raising cost of PV Modules 30-40% for oversees consumers.

Contrast that to US being happy with everyone eating each other alive until all but one company is left standing and can now dictate the prices and enshittify the product to pay back their VC loans.

>International trade is fine, but only when it’s not a commodity easily obtained inside your own nation

It might be a minor nitpick, but that part is just not how the macroeconomic principle works. Abundance of a good/service within a country is irrelevant to the concept of a comparative advantage - this is counter-intuitive but but that was David Ricardo's entire point. It's not about whether production is more efficient domestically, it's whether comparative allocation of resources between multiple countries is more efficient by specialization within the different goods.

Even if you can produce "good 1" cheaper in Country A vs Country B, if Country A can instead produce "good 2" that Country B cannot, it's better for Country A to produce "good 2" domestically and import "good 1".

Now, I still agree with the original notion. It's unnecessarily risky to use services from "democratically-challenged" nations (especially imperialist ones), when safer options are available. But there's no need to twist macro 101 concepts to justify that view. Modern trade policy takes more into account than basic market efficiency.

be honest, you held up spork, didn't you?

>I think if GA was being introduced today, it would be have to jump through incredible hurdles to be used

It's very easy to say that it shouldn't have to be the case with the hindsight of GA being successfully used for centuries.

I would be much more interested in an example of a drug/medical procedure/research that currently is having to jump through such hurdles that people think should be treated as permissively as GA or the theoretical 'cancer cure', despite there not yet being any evidence of its long term effects - as would be the case with a hypothetical AI 'cancer cure' that's not understood by medical professionals.

Personally I can see the arguments for both sides of the coin, but I find GA to be a bad example.

disingenuous comments such like these are, in fact, pointless to engage with
