I dont mean to impugn, but that sounds like how someone would describe a toddler being given an ipad. I turn off animations and use apps with an OLED theme.

Boomers seem to hate their children. I dont think it's a strong effect on future planning.

Consider a hybrid approach where the winner is randomly selected from the top 10 vote winners.

GDP per capita is far more correlated with prosperity. In western countries GDP per capita is being intentionally driven off a cliff.

Individual rational self interest is for the country to optimize for GDP per capita. It's in the interest of corporations and their lobbyists to optimize only for top line GDP. The former would probably be called populism.

The glass transparency effect is just very computationally expensive.

In big engineering programs engineers are paid bounties for every kg they remove from the design. We need software developer bounties for removing CPU cycles and memory.

You can't VPN on a non existent path. Or bomb them. All it takes is an actual desire to stop scammers.

H1B numbers are public, it's a widespread issue in F100.

Business moves at the speed of trust. Outlier performance can only exist in a high trust environment. Low trust society is highly correlated with low economic activity.

The real answer is to rebuild the high trust society by relentlessly removing the low trust elements, the same way the high trust society was created to begin with.

We used to live in a high trust society but since the breakdown of international barriers western countries are becoming low trust.

That was the answer I remember Andreas give in a update video to answer the "why not rust" question.

Its easy enough for a a well resourced entity to take a pre trained model and deploy it on new hardware to save on the NVDA tax. It's far less likely for research and model training to happen outside the mature NVDA ecosystem.

They chose c++ because the web spec implies object oriented design.

Wherever there has been mass migration huge inflation has followed. If reverse migration was implemented inflation would lessen and quality of life would dramatically improve.
