vuurmot··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
Not often countries want to degrade their culture like that by importing other cultures to have children with their women

Maybe the europeans are an exception

vuurmot··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
well in this case, the woman would have to be sufficient, or they would only degrade the eugenic project
vuurmot··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
This is an insane leap of logic

Japan is doing it well

Crash the economy and reduce people's purchasing power

Make them poor, and the birth rate will rise (Japan birth rate is rising) =)

the arts is crashing harder than programming

many schools have shuttered since ~2022

artist gigs are at an all time low

if the US can't even spell Malaysia, I doubt they have interest fighting for them
vuurmot··on Flock Credibility Lost as It Repeatedly Lies to City Councils, Police, & Public
fyi Finland has the same conscription rates, I don't see them being criticized for conscription? Maybe they are too white, or maybe people who injected too much rugged individualism into their veins have rotted views of society

A system that has brought security and cohesion, and thus wealth, is accused of being dystopic

vuurmot··on Flock Credibility Lost as It Repeatedly Lies to City Councils, Police, & Public
In Singapore, policing does not have the dystopian surveillance thing attached to it, because a large number of police are civilian conscripts. It takes the edge off, when you know that your neighbor's 18 year old kid is working in the police force, rather than some mercenary force

On top of that, the majority of the military consists of civilian conscripts, which arguably holds more power if the system ever goes bad enough to degenerate into martial law

vuurmot··on PRC-linked influence operations are targeting AI debates in the US
AI is able to recursively improve its code now, and Anthropic warns we should slow down development before it gets too advanced (reported 2019, and 2026)

PRC-linked influence operations are targeting AI debates

Anthropic and OpenAI holds all the power and will create world utopia

this is a very interesting comment. care to elaborate on it?
vuurmot··on Declining America
he literally says people are intrinsically the same, but extrinsically different (due to culture)

why are you misrepresenting what he says?

vuurmot··on Something is afoot in the land of Qwen
how about explaining why without giving an analogy?
vuurmot··on How the U.S. became a science superpower
You make it sound like the US is a parasite that takes the young of other countries to endow itself, never mind what happens about other countries. Maybe it is?
vuurmot··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
So? Less capital chasing after housing means housing prices fall. If the capital was not destined to be used in the first place, then it only serves to inflate the economy
vuurmot··on Apple says it will add 20k jobs, spend $500B, produce AI servers in US
It's weird that the comments are deflecting from the parent point. But yes, over time, it hurts the country.
vuurmot··on Malaysia is betting on data centers to boost its economy
There are plenty of other comments citing Nvidia statements, so I don't think I need to address this.

Certainly the tendency for people here to reach for the most conspiratorial theories is bizarre to me.

vuurmot··on Malaysia is betting on data centers to boost its economy
It is a pretty unfounded claim.

Singapore holds the headquarters of a lot of SEA megacorporations, as well as regional HQs of big tech in both USA/China.

These chips are bought from these HQs and redistributed to the rest of the world (Singapore is a major shipping hub). India imports chips through their HQs in Singapore, so does Australia, Saudi Arabia, Europe, America, etc.

Maybe you could make the case that shady companies are exporting to China, but I am fairly skeptical as there are already American officials in Singapore collaborating to investigating this issue

vuurmot··on How Nissan and Honda's $60B merger talks collapsed
I think they are like $15k rather than sub $20k

Though I wonder if EVs are really all that good without the infrastructure.. With state of the potholes and electric infrastructure in most countries, can EVs hold up?

vuurmot··on The U.S. needs a shipbuilding revolution
looking at this from the other side of the world, it feels like americans are so insecure, as if they are constantly frightened
vuurmot··on China to Build Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor in 2025
What are you on... I am not interested in the political slinging that both the west and china deploy large capital in.

I just think it is funny

vuurmot··on China to Build Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor in 2025
It's a meme. Just google "china but at what cost" There are probably hundreds of articles with the title at this point

China is getting smarter - but at what cost? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50658538
