The person who is prohibited from having guns in any space has less freedom. The freedom of knowing guns aren't allowed isn't a freedom of its own, but a constraint on actions. Constraints provide security to do certain actions, improving their viability (hence why EU people may think it does more harm than good), but they don't increase the pool of legal actions, only reduce it.
Also, EU people would be wrong to assume that their countries are gun free. Focusing only on countries with a general ban, the are still a notable category of people who are allowed to bear arms: some government officials. So the security of "no guns" is already compromised. There also some downstream structural effects on building societies on such constraint. But I'd say this is besides the point.
I'm also not commenting on whether some freedom should be curtailed or not, as that's also besides the point.
In the end, given the laws of USA, its citizens do have more freedom than PRC's, even outside of politics. I've heard, for instance, that PRC's citizens have the "freedom to easy housing", but they don't. They, at best, have an promise of easy housing supply from the CCP. Given that housing supply depends on material conditions, it's not a formal guarantee.
It's mentioned when tinnitus comes up, or when dark mode isn't available. Couple months ago, someone recommended a supplement that it seems could easily(?) be DIY'd in case it's snake oil (even if it's more expensive, then they don't "win"!) :)
That seems like a fun idea, but are you going to vibe code this indefinitely? What if Claude fails because of to the increasing complexity of the code, are you gonna abandon the project?
I thought this was just a thing until I moved from Cal to Arizona and people would get really mad about it until I asked someone at work and learned it's illegal.
> But the question is how much are people willing to pay for AI.
That depends on how much more money they can make with AI or save with AI. It shouldn't be very hard to know that number in a well run business. Even for a one man business.
> people who over rely on LLMs become weaker at the core competency
What if what people become weaker at, is no longer the core competency? Then people who maintain their skills at what used to be the core competency, at the expense of what is actually the core competency, will be left behind.
The rest of your comment, re: nothing taking less than a week because of meetings and software never being the bottleneck, is not something generally true across the industry. I'm sorry that that has been your experience; it does not sound pleasant.
Adding too many tests was a real issue before LLMs. You end up in situations where you when you add a feature there's 200 (out of e.g. 10k) tests that fail and you have to figure out which of them should fail and you need to fix them and which are actual bugs.

> Suppose you become politically radicalized and become a Marxist. You get convinced that the labor theory of value is correct.
> The number of people in the general population who will know enough about the history and philosophy of economics to give you a clear account of why Marxism and the labor theory of value is incorrect,
He's correct most people don't know about labor theory of value. Which is why it's easy for him to categirize those who believe it as "radicalized" and "Marxist" versus the minority of calm, rational, objective people who can discount it.
Marx did follow the labor theory of value - as did virtually every major economist (or as they put it probably better back then, student of political economy) before Marx believed it. Marx credits another revolutionary for discovering it - Benjamin Franklin. There were a few proto-papers on subjective theory of value, but an alternative theory of value did not even really exist before Capital was published.
Labor theory of value was the theory of Benjamin Franklin, John Locke, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and all the major economists before Marx. And Marx accepted what they accepted and all said.
Alternative theories of value were not really fleshed out until after Marx published Capital.
Ps. This was told to you by myself - from one the 1% of people who know this stuff
Pps. If you didn't read the article, you would not know I am referring to myself as part of an elite 1% of knowledge sarcastically
A drink with bourbon and rye makes no sense imho. A rye is just bourbon with a higher percent of rye and less corn. You might as well call it blending your own whiskey.
There needs to be some sort of safeguard to prevent people from abusing this and running queries to do something an owner objects to. I'd feel horrible if I discovered that someone used my AI to figure out how to kill someone. Another problem would be privacy. My highly personal queries would be available to whomever ran that query for me thru logging.
This is not to say it's a bad idea, but it needs some thought toward protecting users or at least acknowledgment and warnings that their information might be available to unintended eyes.
That doesn't take away at all from the complete absurdity of this level of bloat. How is it not 450kB? Fine, a few high res icons and multi language support, let's make it 4MB, because to do it in 1 would take skilled coders.
