Containers and VMs are really annoying to work with for these kinds of applications. Things like agent-safehouse and greywall are better imo

I'm involved with a project building something very similar, which we literally open sourced an alpha version of last week:
https://github.com/GreyhavenHQ/greywall
It's a bit different in that:
- We started with Linux
- It is a binary that wraps the agent runtime
- It runs alongside a proxy which captures all traffic to provide a visibility layer
- Rules can be changed dynamically at runtime
I am so happy this problem is getting the attention it deserves!
We're discussing an article about diapers.
If you have someone taking care of them full-time, toilet training early is usually easy and a net time save.
But if you can't ever invest that time because of the time version of the poverty trap, you are in diapers until the kids are developed enough to make the transition themselves or by seeing other examples (at daycare, etc), or are just old enough that it can be explained to them.

I plotted a bunch of random states and created a line chart showing the progression since 2017. I chose to look at Math scores, since that's most objectively measured. I am not trying to "adjust for demographics" because that just makes it easy to derive whatever result you want.
Some obvious conclusions from playing with the data:
* Everybody is worse off compared with pre-pandemic. The best-performing states seem to be doing worse compared with 2019
* Puerto Rico is a total disaster outlier, and Massachusetts clearly outperforms the rest of the states.
* There doesn't appear to be any other clear "winner"
The only conclusion I think you can draw from the data the article describes is that Alabama and Mississippi are poorer, and so if you adjust your data by $$ they move up more.
Access to capital for everyone else is dropping. And the US economy is being managed by chaos monkeys, causing all kinds of supply chain disruptions. Oligopolies in almost every market are increasingly jacking up prices above market equilibrium rates as they are emboldened by a corrupted FTC.
Despite what Peter Thiel may have led you to believe, Monopolies are not healthy for an economy in aggregate.
Of course the economy is slowing.
It's corporate propaganda
Releasing for real? Is it an open model?
> when time comes to vote on policies, having read everyone, you may consider their point of view a bit more.
Trying to be impartial, trying to understand all the points of view, is a noble effort. It's impossible to do, but the process of trying is how you can achieve the best version of truth. Seems like I agree with you here.
And that's what the best newspapers do.
I need people to be making an honest effort to understand all the perspectives and distilling them down for me.
If nobody is doing that, then it makes my job (the job of understanding everyones' perspectives) a lot harder, because it's an exercise in multi-player adversarial thinking.
You brought up the most notorious part of US history (the gilded age / age of yellow journalism) as if that was defining of journalism in general. You would be hard-pressed to pinpoint a time in which there was less bullshit in media than then. Besides today, of course.
And then you somehow equate this to the 1960s. As if the fact that journalists tended to study at university and therefore share points of view with people who went to university is the same thing as William Randolph Hearst wholly inventing a story about Spain attacking a US ship to convince the public to start a war.
And what we have today, with social media & search monopolies sucking all economic surplus completely out of journalism, plus foreign-run and profit-run influence farms, plus algorithmic custom-tailoring of propaganda, is undoubtedly the worst we have ever seen.
As if we aren't very clearly in a completely different place now compared to even 10 years ago, when it comes to the veracity of information people are exposed to on a moment-to-moment basis. As if we aren't all fed an AI-manipulated, algorithmically tailored personal selection of wholecloth lies by the media mechanisms that replaced some biased ones.
But the negatives are spiraling out of control. Pollution and energy and the amplification of structural social problems like wealth stratification, authoritarianism, media manipulation...
With great power comes great responsibility, and we're living in an era in which our culture has shifted dramatically towards accepting immoral, short-sighted, and reckless behaviour.
* open-source a vulnerable vibe-coded assistant
* launch a viral marketing campaign with the help of some sophisticated crypto investors
* watch as hundreds of thousands of people in the western world voluntarily hand over their information infrastructure to me
What do you find makes it hard to run a small business in Canada?
Yes asymmetry in economic power is a big thing but information as a form of power seems like the most defining theme of today? Seems like that's why Musk bought Twitter?
Ultimately you have to trust the company that offers you E2E encryption. I don't know why anyone would trust this company given the way they interact with people.
Trump's policies seem to be aimed at devaluing USD and harming the US and its allies.
I guess maybe this pressures the other powers that be in the US that don't take the threat seriously to do more to stop him?
Also, didn't Musk publicly quit Trump's advisory councils over exiting the Paris Agreement back in 2017? Why does that rift not qualify for your "separating politics" hypothesis?
When you create systems that are easy to abuse, some of the people in the system will abuse the system.
And what does that have to do with non-zero-sum games?
