Just like the real Google!

All the cool communists are out in the real world, robbing banks or something.

Within the context of the article, I think it is completely fair to say that creating code is cheap compared to the cost of understanding that code.

Depending on how you frame it, that happens all the time. For example, a speedbump causes speed reduction, but at high speeds it causes (momentary) loss of control. Or narrowing the road, which means less margin for error.

People will drive their cars as fast as feels safe. By introducing hazards, you make people slow down which increases safety, but each feature in isolation could be said to be dangerous in some way, y’know?

What a great parody of the thing that the link doesn’t say at all.

I agree with you. However, I think you’ve misunderstood what inlay hints look like. Here’s an example.

Indeed. There will be lots of times when you’ll be reading code without a while IDE attached. When doing code reviews in the browser, when looking at patch files or git diffs in the command line, when browsing code files on some git host, or when you’ve gone to a confrence and you left your laptop in the hotel room because Steve from accounting assured you it would just be a meet-and-greet with clients, but then some production bug hit and every odd-numbered request is returning a 401 for some reason, so you need to borrow Steve’s laptop to fix this.

You’re just skipping over the obvious choice of chopsticks, I see.

We can argue about about how long you can squat someone’s house before it’s morally acceptable to keep living in it, and how much the crimes of the parents transfer to the children (if at all), and those are conversations that require some nuance.

However, specifically when it comes to Israel, you have to remember that the state was established within living memory. Many of the stolen houses were stolen by people living in them right now, and they’re actively being stolen. You frame it as a completed and long past action done by our forefathers, but this isn’t really accurate. It’s an actively ongoing process, right?

The problem is that there has already been very heavy meddeling, for as long as the Israeli state has existed. In fact, the existence of the state is a direct result of that exact outside meddling.

It’s not exactly ‘fair’ to put someone in another’s house, give them a gun and then say “further meddling is not allowed”.

Besides, no country can practically exist without “outside meddling”. What about international trade? If you trade with groups aligned with one side but not the other, is that meddling? What about diaspora? There’s a lot of displaced Palestinians and a lot of Jews who would both like to move into the same place. This has to be in part facilitated by the host countries, right? And there are many other small and large decision you have to make.

What you’re asking for is:

1. Practically impossible.
2. Enabling an ongoing genocide (since that is, seemingly, how Israel is currently aiming to achieving “peaceful homes” for themselves).

What if you build it on an asteroid or moon or planet. Uranus is ~-225⁰C, right?

The only way to create wealth is via work, e.g., income. It’s not a perfect measure, I concede, since wealth is static and can accumulate over time. However, I think we can still use it as a rough estimation of stolen income over time.

However, this source claims there is a 70% gap between wages and produced value. That roughly matches the number I gave.

The top 10% of households hold 67% of all wealth. If we assume that every worker produces roughly the same value, that implies ⅔ of value produced by the average worker is being taken.

Of course, 33% is not 15%, but I’d say it’s roughly in the ballpark. And in certain cases, there are definitely workers who are exploited to that level.

It wouldn’t be the first time the USA has employed the “Imma strike you, but if you strike back you’re a peace hating savage” tactic. They’ve done it several times already. For any country that acts diplomatically in good faith, it puts you in quite a tough spot. If you strike back (especially if you strike back harder), then you’re risking escalations, but if you do nothing, then your enemy has gotten a free strike in.

Lots of scientific progress was made before the capitalist mode of production, so “laboring to produce capital” is anachronistic.

The core point you’re making is correct though. Only certain classes of people (rich people and monks) were freed up by the surplus of production of what is required to sustain life.

If you assume the flags stand for official government positions, then this meme makes sense. This is further supported by the fact that normal people don’t think in terms of “one China policy” (like the post’s title implies) but rather in terms of “unification”, as you wrote.

The problem with this approach is twofold.

1. The AI doesn’t know what anything is either. It can annotate faster than you, but if it is all wrong, that doesn’t help.
2. The primary reason the code is bad, and something the AI is particularly weak at without a human doing much of the thinking for it is architecture. Working your way through ship-of-theseus-style isn’t going to address the fundamental reason the code is difficult to work with. The architecture.

I think you forgot how many absolutely trash games were being made.

The websites have different (more) safeguards than the APIs do, so bots will operate on different rules.

Wow, I’m surprised you were able to make meat eating even more evil than it already was.
