uh. I think code-writing is just colloquial for "low level implementation details".

What he's pointing at is

1. LLMs have no social pull. Thus all the anti-AI outrage (LLMs cant defend themselves)

2. AI is shit at expert-lvl planning and higher level stuff (vision, architecture).

bro, both are American CEOs.

What is this racialized nonsense, have you seen Jensen Huang speak Mandarin? His mandarin is actually awful for someone who left Taiwan at 8.

It's ridiculous to bring up a war scenario when it's about EVs.

Go reshore the military. Yes, the Americans and Western Europe lost in EVs. Though, I only ever see Americans turn this event into losing a war.

Pearl Harbor? Really?

bro was talking about public transit & Chinese cars, my guy.

Exactly. I had this exact thought experiment of "What if America were no longer Hegemon".

So, I looked at other historic examples. The British, Dutch, and Spanish. (You can add German/Austrian and the French, close contenders).

They're all still very well-off!

yeah honestly files was such a disappointment for me. Modern i5 from 2 years ago desktop system on windows 11 and it would crash every 2-3 days just browsing with at most <15 tabs open.

Was it coded in electron? What's filepilot made in?

> China + Hong Kong/Taiwan

Seems pretty disingenuous to include this, no? No invasion ever occured, compared to the million or so deaths in Afghanistan and god knows how many by the time the Ukraine conflict is over.

> You know what they are, but I will elect to avoid an instaban by posting them here.

You cannot list them, because I already have and I have not been instabanned.

There is not actually much chaos in these supposed "bastions of free speech". Because in practice, threads are often created by highly motivated users and can be brigaded by coordinated groups (IRC/Discord groups). Even without so, culture and groupthink emerges simply because people mimic each other.

This is the problem with all utopian first-principles liberty thinking, in practice, they fall prey to the same easily observable defects in human nature. Thus, forums like hackernews thrive because of competent moderation in their stead.

High average information quality is a top 3 important metric for browsing any content on the internet, and quality does not "emerge" effectively through this supposed "diamond in the rough" system.

> This is why the bump model that 4chan uses is superior.

The elephant in the room is that 4chan's average quality of content is by far the worst of any major forum platform. The "bump" model is also used iirc by most bbs or older-style internet forums. In the modern age, incel forums are probably the most popular of these older-style forums (and surprisingly they probably have only slightly better average quality than 4chan).

So, correct me if I am wrong, but the bump model usually results in shitty average quality of information.

As the bump model needs heavy moderation as the upvote/downvote system is a form of self-moderation/censorship. However, the entire appeal of most sites that use the bump model is to shitpost or be edgy...

Honestly, the bump model does sound intriguing from a utopian, critical-thinking first, free speech first-principles perspective, but I'd like to see an example of a successful popular forum that implements such in reality.

This is just moving the goalposts and sophistry at this point. Your initial statement was Taiwan was measurably better per capita than Singapore, though the GDP and economic statistics show otherwise. You can also look at various happiness indices, where Singapore is #1 in Asia, since happiness is correlated with GDP per capita.

and If you really believe $70,000 is no different from $35,000, I urge you to donate all your income excess of $35,000 to me. I take Venmo, Cashapp.

These are very broad generalizations you're claiming with no evidence.

> Most of countries are more or less on the development level that their culture and geographic location permits.

So, given this assertion, no developing country should ever hope to join the ranks of a developed nation? Unless they change cultural variables or conquer new lands. Yet we see this playing out in Europe and East Asia and now Africa and India.

> Taiwan will give Singapore a run on its money

Singapore's GDP per capita is $70,000 while Taiwan's capital city sits at $35,000.

Uh... No. Singapore's second largest native population are Malays then Indians, which IIRC are 13% and 7% of the population as of 2024.

I do not think this was much different historically. Europeans are not very present in Singaporean society.

>It's important to realize that this is vastly different from what scientists/philosophers throughout history have generally believed - even upto fairly recently, some form of Descartes-like dualism,

This spirit-physical duality is mainstream in the West, however you are reaching when you say that every culture and their thinkers held the same beliefs.

Oh yeah, I played Genshin for a year as well. It is a very well-polished, high-budget game with some good implementations of gameplay mechanics.

Which makes it the quintessential example of the modern AAA skinnerbox game. Polished gameplay, a good initial hook, and an addictive gameplay loop.

Which is what Justin Kan and Co. are trying to create, but have been largely unsuccessful in doing so.

Hah, did you happen to play Lost Ark at any point this year?
