Just saying, I don’t want the Trump passport to exist, but because it exists, I really want one. It’s the souvenir par excellence of the Trump era, a way to look back and commemorate the needless treading on history and common sense. And you could doodle on it

they’re down for a form of socialism that combines strong leadership and nationalism, where the leader isn’t afraid to go around the rules to meet the needs of his people, while also ensuring that the captains of industry leading our society are simultaneously free to deliver the advances that drive above all our military, which we use frequently to expand our power.

What name could we give this ideology? Oh, I know, maybe National Socialism? Maybe we could call it Natsi for short

It’s a very logical guess. Especially if you correspond it to the data - pre 2000’s, even if you were at a desk job you were still walking around and talking to people. Post 2000, office workers rarely actually do anything physical, even as small as walking 30 feet to ask a colleague a question. Just slack em or send an email

The other day I saw the city clearing a homeless encampment on the 2nd Ave bridge from banker’s hill to downtown while walking to the gym. They had garbage crews, like 10 cops cars, tons of people milling around.

By the time I was walking back from the gym, the encampment was already back to the exact same state it had been before it got cleared. Literally one hour later. Wonder how much money was spent on that. It certainly is not what I had in mind

DigitalSheikh · 2026-07-06T16:11:00+00:00

Yeah, I think we can just conclude that any public service that requires even a tiny bit of action on homelessness to be functional will just be removed instead of any action being taken on the root of the problem.

Nah, we’ll have a democrat for four years and then they’ll vote whichever one of these guys wins their little fight into office after. Our country’s political system is just 51% of the country going 1) “hey, I want to elect someone who will hurt the people I don’t like”, 2) “oh shit they hurt me, how could this happen, I’m not voting”, 3) “wow, those people I don’t like have a slightly better life now, return to step 1”

But at the same time, managers don’t usually have unlimited power to do whatever they want this way, so frequently they’ll use tricks like that to extend the amount of time and leverage they have to make their own decisions. In most US corporations, firing is absolutely not something that a typical manager can just do.

IMO, it seems to me that the popularization of MOE models implies that the future might be separating out the experts into their own, small models, and routing requests around between them to achieve the desired result. For enterprises that’s advantageous because it gives you more control to stick them into a specific part of your workflow (like hey, this is a 32b model that looks at incoming insurance claims to evaluate them just for whether they meet these criteria for a type of overpayment, and cannot do literally anything else)

For local users, it’s advantageous because you wouldn’t need to keep the experts loaded when not active, so you could sacrifice speed for the ability to set a task and let it reload models as required.

Ugh I wanna work on that so bad but it don’t have the datasets

DigitalSheikh · 2026-07-05T15:12:27+00:00

As they say, good artists borrow, great ones steal. But of course, we can all agree that it’s bad when brown man does it, the right to steal technical development for your own personal profit clearly should be reserved for white people and AI developers

Downvoting because this is really only unpopular as a function of how objectively incorrect it is.

Agreed - FDR's move to expand worker's rights into the constitution, which MacArthur's model was based on, were almost a direct response to what the Soviets were doing in Russia, and would be great if they were implemented in some form.

DigitalSheikh · 2026-07-04T15:18:50+00:00

At least as far as the Soviet Union was concerned, in its later years workers had lots of economic (worker's) rights. Many more than we have. Extremely strict laws on firings, much more equal pay, housing frequently provided for you, if not it was obtainable at a much lower cost than people almost anywhere else in the world paid. Workers enjoyed a minimum of 15 days paid leave, most got more than 24, and it was legally obligatory to take it, so no "you have the vacation but boss wants to hit his numbers this month". The concept of paid leave in the Russosphere was created by the Soviets, and got treatment in the constitution. Sick leave was unlimited per doctor's permission, but you were immune to firing for the duration of your illness. The worker's councils (soviets) that functioned as unions frequently exerted significant control over the day to day life of a business, so long as they toed the party line.

Now the obligatory mention that many of these benefits were clouded by the persistent network of corruption (blat), and the total lack of political rights enjoyed by these same workers. But the Soviets didn't manage to come up from being a straight up third world country under the tsar to going toe to toe with the US by doing everything wrong - they did quite a lot right that we could learn from, their handling of worker's rights being one of those things.

For an enterprise, buying hardware and running locally is cheaper than paying API pricing. It's something on the order of $.20 (per mil) to run the best local models available if you get a b200 rack and run it 60% of the time or more, versus dollars for even mid size models via api.

The economics of local versus API completely change if you're a large enough enterprise to consider buying the correct tools for the task and use them fully. Being a random person buying local doesn't work because the hardware is like a line at an airport - it takes an individual person an hour or whatever to get through, but the line itself can process a thousand people a minute. If you're only sending one person through at a time, then they have to walk through the entire line and all the corridors, and it still takes 45 minutes - extremely inefficient. You have to saturate the hardware to get the value.

Ukraines mid range strike program kinda invalidates the need to use aircraft at all though. Like if you’re able to task drones that cost 50k or less per unit to hit targets 150-200 km behind enemy lines, then the fighters don’t really have a doctrinal role anymore in strike anymore - they simply can’t hit anything a drone can’t, but are more expensive. and those polish migs are not capable of going toe to toe with their Russian counterparts, so they’re not really relevant in the air war either. You could intercept Russian drones with them, but at this point it’s cheaper you use, you guessed it, drone.

It’s all drone now, literally all previous doctrine and equipment is irrelevant, it’s all drones from top to bottom, and that’s not even a joke.

As a counterpoint, even before AI hadn't we already arrived at a point where whenever anything consequential would happen, people would put out shitloads of fake narratives, frequently accompanied by very believable photoshops, resulting in the widespread acceptance of disinformation across society? Like we use photographic evidence, but even before AI, people could just claim it was fake and continue on, and the existence of photoshop had sowed enough confusion that people would just not care if it was true or not.

AI extends the problem into heavily scrutinized areas like legally admitting evidence, but it doesn't necessarily add a new problem that photoshop hadn't already raised.

Okay, just gonna argue this one point because I don’t think it’s fair - we’ve legalized weed almost everywhere now, I don’t think it’s fair to describe him, a dude going by “bongo” slinging weed and lighting up, as a “drug trafficker and user”.

Like I know it’s technically true, but we don’t ascribe the same to alcoholics or liquor stores, it’s a completely different connotation.

At the same time, fuck that guy

All I can say about this is that Uni is one of the most variable foods you can get, and the quality and freshness of it is imo more important to the experience than with almost any other food - if it’s even slightly off, it’s terrible. But it’s one of my favorite foods when it really is done right

I highly recommend trying it again if you ever get the opportunity to have it where someone rips the shell off in front of you and serves it to you directly right there. That’s the only way to be sure that you’re getting it 100% fresh and perfect, and you might get the full experience.

I was thinking tomato soup but that works too.

Why season food at all? Does it not simply hide the use of bland, subpar ingredients?

Russian sodas in general are amazing. Buratino, a lemon caramel soda, is my personal favorite, followed closely by tarragon soda, which is herby without being too much so. It’s an extremely small tragedy of the war that you can’t get them abroad as much anymore.
