People tolerate inefficiency longer than they tolerate transition.

It needs help. I often pipe my screed though an LLM and post it. I do request that it use a 10th grade reading level, and no emdashes.

For giggles, here's how it would look for this comment. Rather meta, but in this case it removed the "It needs hellp" so here we are.

I often run my screed through an LLM before posting. I ask it to keep the writing at about a 10th grade reading level and to avoid em dashes.

If China keeps releasing decent copies of SOTA models that only take 20% of the resources, then we may get some relief when those models become "good-enough"

When Europe lost a tone of people to disease, wages went up, housing was cheep and people made families.

Sadly, big business wants cheap labor so we can't have nice things.

A bit jealous that Japanese facilitates thin, readable labels for the X axis, as each character can be stacked vertically and still make sense on its own

I like Trump, but this could very well be true. He's getting rich off of something.

Be really careful about cheap Detroit homes as they can come with a backlog of property taxes.

Install the boring shit and use colored vinal wrap for fun. Good resale value and you can enjoy life.

Workaround: I'm rich and would just start up a newspaper that gave my candidates good coverage.

In my opinion, this isn't a easy problem if you value freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom of people to spend their own money.

The key was to present what looked like a lively debate. The dirty trick was to have the "bad side" over state the position horribly. For example, to make Republicans look bad we'd start having their fake personas use subtle racism.

I had a past life of drumming up community comments for engagment: The only thing that's changed is that humans are getting lazy and using AI. Fake comments have always been a thing.

Happens for physical heath too. I jumpstarted progress with GLP-1 and Statins and now I probably don't need them because I enjoy exercising and eating well.

Even if it worked perfectly, I would be worried that an unexercised immune system would turn on me.

Fox News doesn't use public airwaves as I understand it.

US prices are insane if you're paid in CAD. The good news is that Canada is great if you're paid in USD and are used to costal prices. It's like going to a third world country.

Use publicly owned airwaves, expect to have to abide by the campaign finance rules. Can't just donate excellent coverage to just one candidate.
