IMHO that Fable ban is because Grok is now too big to fail and quite far behind so the highly corrupt US govt is banning competition from getting too far ahead of Grok. No seen any idication that it is anything else.
That will likely result in other competition abroad catching up, it usually does.
My reading was that copying the doc's ToC in markdown + links was significantly more effective than giving it a link to the ToC and instructions to read it.
I read somewhere that in Shenzhen you can get metal thinkpad clones with any modern hardware you like, made to order, one at a time for a resonable price.
USofA was probably the only place that actively resisted the global effort.
I think people do want a better world.
Greed is not universal.
Most countries that grow a middle class find most people prefer to stop work. I.e. there are not that many infinitely greedy humans. And they can be taxed.
Despite neocon economic theory, most people aren't selfish. And those that are, are often happily rewarded with a plaque in their honor or a medal.
Just look at the length Trump goes to for an award.
The is one trick that doesn't require political will. If you can make the microeconomics work it can be made to scale it self.
E.G. Make CO2 extraction so cheap it's worth everyone doing it and say, make a market to sell the CO2 to farmers. Then make burying inedible bits of plants so cheap it's done on a large scale.
Then you just wait. Microeconomics takes over.
They did this with plastic clean up. By building a machine that makes plastic into fuel & construction pellets. Then stuck such a machine on a plastic poluted island and waited.
For this trick. All you require from your políticans is that they don't lie or bomb the place.
That was probably a node / npm thing, because they had no stdlib it was quite common to have many small libraries.
I consider it an absolute golden rule for coding to not write unnecessary code & don't write collections.
I still see a lot of C that ought not to have been written.
I'm a grey beard, and don't fear for my job. But not relying on AI if it's faster to write, is as silly as refusing a correct autocomplete and typing it by hand. The bytes don't come out better
Oh and the fact that in USofA, Big Pharma in cahoots with corrupt doctors and a broken police/judicial system let you legal amphetamines if you have adhd is, of course, nothing to do with this.
22 years in the same Corp, targeting Linux systems since day one, and only in the first two years, and this year, have I been permitted a Linux desktop.
+2 years slugging in a vm.
Developing with out bash is just unnecessary work.
My productivity has more than doubled. easily. I manually type passwords half as much and when I do that is to access Microsoft services.
That will likely result in other competition abroad catching up, it usually does.
