Someone like Trump probably couldn't even be a CCP party member. I've heard it's a relatively meritocratic organization, at least compared to pur political system. Though maybe someone from China can correct me.
If they can help figure out how to make turning office space into apartments attractive that will solve the vacancy problem and help keep housing costs at bay.
This is so cool and I wonder how effective it would be using this technique when using LLMs to generate code. Have the llm generate code and a TLA+ model. Use the TLA+ model as the test bed of the code (instead of writing tests in the original language).
I have built a radically different system in general called Abject (https://abject.world). I have been thinking about how agents are the wrong abstraction and what an operating system can look like now that we have LLMs. It's not designed to help you with your website or app, but it does code and make different kinds of apps within it's system. In principle it should also be able to code apps outside it's ecosystem but I haven't tried that in any serious way.
This is great in concept but what prevents me from using it is TDD. I don't want to waste tokens on producing code that doesn't ship to the end user. Design by Contract is a far superior approach. If you've never heard of Design by Contract I don't blame you, our culture really failed to bring it mainstream. But I swear by it and it gives me real superpowers. Maybe I should fork this and gut the TDD part and replace it.
Have you ever run a business? I have and still do. I make the pricing decisions, nobody makes them for me. Have to factor in a lot and repricing is always a hard choice in either direction. It's never automatic or some mystical force.
Post COVID is a great example of this in action. They DID raise prices because they could. What keeps prices low is competition. But again, it's not automatic. Look at Arizona Ice Tea as an example. All price rises are business decisions with a person behind it.
People forget that prices don't rise automatically. Businesses decide to raise prices. There isn't some magical force called inflation cuasing prices to go up. It's human decision-making all the way down.
Gold based money, or eras of coinage, historically have been times of war and slavery. The debt system we are in now is far better in a lot of ways. The outcome of what happens depends on the political will deciding where the credit flows.
