I bet she knows fine what the phrase means. Doesn't mean she's beyond protecting the business interests of people who fund her political goals of course but she's always struck me as a woman who knows her brief.

I'm always reading about how much of a meritocracy these tech places are. And that the US is a bastion of free market enterprise compared to backwaters like the UK.

So if this was really true, how come there aren't AI recruiters who scan the supposedly obscure newspapers for job ads like these and bring them to their clients and make a fat commission when their (clearly superior US based candidate :lol:) demonstrates throughout the interview process that they are capable of doing the job.

What's wrong with people who live in small towns?

Some of us know just as well as folks in San Francisco how to instruct claude to write code.

This reinforces a point I've made elsewhere that there are talented mathematicians driving the AI to make these discoveries.

Just like there are talented software engineers driving the AI to create the software that "it" builds, and talented steel workers, teachers, nurses etc who use computers and other machines to create value all over the economy (without whom, the machines they use at work would be worthless).

Capital owners have always sought to minimise the value of the input that "workers" make in the process of creating value. Maybe now that information workers are on the wrong end of this deal, they might develop some empathy and solidarity with their fellow working class comrades and together, demand that people recapture the value that capital has stolen from them.

I dunno. Didn't it still need to be driven by a team of experienced Mathematicians? I don't believe that two months ago, you or I could've just typed "Solve Navier Stokes. Make no mistakes" into claude and come back some time later and expect to see a solution.

The whole point of corporations is that the assets (and liabilities) created by the people working on behalf of the corporation outlive the term of their employment.

They don't (or at least shouldn't) get to keep the assets without also honouring the liabilities.

All the shady stuff the UK does, it does at the behest of the US.

Why does electricity stop at 1973? It's been going back up again for the last few years.

If it's so difficult, maybe they could take the easy option and, you know, properly fund the government to build the shared infrastructure on which we all rely by paying tax proportional to their wealth.

> Yep, for all the moralizing about sports gambling people on HN do, they sure love to prime their children for it.

Can't get through life without gambling at least a little bit.

Even taking out a life insurance policy is making a bet you're going to die before it expires

Watch Ann Droid on the Beeb for a dark but funny prediction of what it will be like wrt to nursing care for the elderly.

Well, there are other reasons. For instance if they've been influenced by Russian agents trying to sow discord.

C'mon anthropic. Give him a job! :-)

What would an uninsured person do if the tests suggested they needed an medical intervention?

I think you gotta be pretty lucky or disciplined with a high income from an early age to be in a position to start unloading risk at 45.

Most folks don't have disposable income after rent and bills until they're 30.

Citation needed for the proposition that an economy is a closed loop.

Yeah, none to the African, South American, or Asian nations who contribute many of the best players though. And they don't share it around their own countries that well either with all the revenue going to the big 5 and the rest can just go sing.

Hehe, grass is always greener on the other side.

Something like emacs?

I've got one of these and I love it. Much lighter than my previous watches (I've used garmin and polar before).

> the cost of distributing it has been increasing at a far higher rate than the rate of increasing surplus.

Is it? Or is it that an increasing proportion of total income ends up going to the people who find ways of hiding it such that it does not get distributed.

Lately I've been adding a repl service to my docker compose configs so the agent can easily send fragments of code for execution in the project context without incurring the clojure startup costs each time.

So cool to watch the AI get into a tight learning loop when it has access to all the internal data structures.

Does eval in these other languages evaluate ASTs or strings? It makes a difference.

Yes exactly! https://docs.gimp.org/3.2/en/gimp-using-script-fu-tutorial.h...

I love ghostel. Thanks for making it.

self-interested hate is it not?

Maybe I'm more attuned to this type of thing having grown up as a national of a smaller state living in the shadow of a bigger state but you constantly see actors from the bigger state belittling and condescending anything contributed socially or economically from the smaller state.

And I see this sort of dynamic here in this forum where Americans very frequently talk condescendingly like this about Europe generally and European tech especially (they did it to China too but China smartly ignored this self-interested nonsense and carried on anyway which is what Europeans should do).

It really grates on me and presumably many others. But it serves an agenda too of a lot of the founders and financiers that hang out here that have big fat customers in Europe they'd like to keep sweet and competitors they'd like to keep down.

Isn't it up to Europeans to define the purpose of the EU? What's your claim to having the right to define it?

Just the co-founders eh? Fuck off Paul.

"show me the diff in emacs"

and claude opens up a new emacs frame (aka "window" if you're not an emacs doc writer) with a magit diff buffer of whatever we've been working on. This happens instantly because the emacs server is already running since startup and this is just popping up a little client window
