12-13 year olds overseas making cheap crap for import to the US is central to the plan of keep margins high/line go up.

Not exactly something a President gonna call out verbatim in State of the Union.
"Trump/GOP lost their ass in midterms!" and "Dems intend to investigate GOP/Trump!"
Also provides news channel attacks on Dems; Congress should be looking into national security issues over here in CEO land! Not dividing Congress with partisan hackery!
Important to call out the social engineering going on among all the tribal groups.
It's all quite clearly collusion among a few dozen, hundred. No way their education/experience or data analysis engines have not made them aware.
They’re just used to Boomer and Silent Generation politicians blithely enabling them cause line go up for them when they do!
Curious to see how well it works on Millennials and GenZ; the elders were educated before STEM education had matured in a lot of ways. Younger generations have not had debunked fantasy rammed down their throat as scientific fact; Nostradmus types of the mid-late 1900s pointing at some ignorant math assuming it's true because it's written in a scientific notation! Duh!
Science education of the past gave rise to thinkers like the Oceangate CEO. Nihilists who figure there's no such thing as forever and we all die anyway; so YOLO no matter who I take down with me.
Humans enjoy inventing language, metaphor, to fill perceived gaps in irrational physical reality we can never resolve. To pretend we are more than meets the eye.
Entropy keeps creating need to replace, to refill through erosion of physical state.
Good luck engineering around gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear forces across the fabric of space time chipping away at all human endeavors.
Qwen3.8 and Meta Muse Glimmer are great at "fill in the middle" of frontier architectures and plans. Frontier generated plenty of great context already to keep them on rails.
Delegating like a CEO down a pipeline of expensive experts to cheaper local small models could become a common trope, especially if Apple M7 and beyond live up to rumors as LLM tuned, and chip competition exists to keep forward progress, SaaS models are cooked.
The goal for chip corps too is the right mix of generic model enabling logic; not necessarily a full concrete model but enough of the abstract to efficiently boot strap and run a model; move common patterns to silicon not data.
Token vending is little more than behaving as a "wrapper app" over electricity. There is zero technical moat to their business.
Lots of animals engages in non consensual rape; humans need to get on a level?
We should kill on sight like a lot of animals do to each other; it's natural to behave like an animal.
Don't anthropomorphize ducks.
Codependency to survive altogether is different than "2 people stuck together by social pressure even if its not working for them" which happens a lot; marriage often becomes unnatural abuse.
Unlike ferrets we engineered around raw need to hunt rabbits; we have grocery stores to serve the codependency.
It came from the past so it's natural is a terrible argument. Just a "dude trust me; its how grandpa did it"
Handy thing for Trump to keep in his back pocket to distract Democrats attention if they won the midterms.
No one at any company has ever understood every bit of the stack they ship; see all the bugs AI is finding in all the frameworks and libs we been shipping this whole time; oh yeah we sure knew what we were shipping.
git pull git@github.com:allofit/allthethings.git engineering patterns is what created this mess to begin with
Seems just as reasonable but less verbose; we appear to get cancer and mental illness with old age regardless of social conditions around us. Physics and entropy win again regardless of the care we put into our semantics.
Regardless my original point was about "long term".
"Marriage staves of mental health" and "a single, long term marriage improves mental health outcomes" are two different things.
Could just be a tight knit quasi-nuclear family social circle is sufficient too but social desirability biases lead is to lean into marriage tradition.
So either way, like how if ya live long enough some kind of cancer would get ya, so will mental illness
No beating physics
18 year study found unmarried more likely to not have dementia:
https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz...
...TL;DR a GenXer describes the entire generation as nihilists wearing "I don't really care; do you?" jackets
Will Smith, Elon Musk, health insurance CEO that got got, Thiel, Heather Bresch the CEO that without a market need jacked up EpiPen prices...endless list of failed up non-contributors
Every GenXer I worked with has been miserable to work with; Millennials and GenZ on the other hand have been amazing.
Generational divides are not just "class ware fare." Others in this thread making such a banal thought ending statement is can say what they want but my lived experience is generational social divides are real; human biology is memory based and class warfare is what the past believed in
https://www.nytimes.com/1981/05/18/business/reagan-cut-and-p...
Which generation of leadership did that benefit most? Trump and Co
Their only shtick is loot everyone else, save themselves; change the finance ratio so it all flows to them; see it with end of ZIRP, RAM and tech prices...
Americans still believing the oral traditions of The Dream despite decades of headlines about homeless vets being denied and endless "once in a lifetime" bubbles millennials have dealt with every 5-8 years since they became adults... fuckin gen pop dude... it's so clearly just wielding oral traditions on the part of the rich to serve their own biological imperative
With the decline in religious attendance has come a decline in marriage; from 70%+ to 50%ish over the last couple generations
But divorce rate has declined so those that do marry seem to really want it; in the before times though it was how women survived
Coupling fits with biological imperative to have partners but longterm/for life is obviously not necessary since divorce is common too, partners die, etc
That and recent research shows long term married couples are 50% more likely to develop dementia; an imbalance in effort develops where one becomes codependent and forgets how to live and the partner in charge loses grip of themselves and taking care of their partner consumes them.
Define "dark matter" and it's not "dark matter" it's whatever was found.
Am ultimately whittling everything down to Linux kernel + inference + data model so far captured from my current OS use.
Am ready to be done with syntactic programming of the machine. Rather than label the filesystem with context I can label entities in the viewport and those entities can happen to look like word processors not just video game characters.
An basically making a Blender-clone designed to browse and edit models that replaces the usual desktop metaphor.
Then I can noodle the virtual geometry, label it and understand under the hood its just a function factory mutating geometry of memory address truth table and display truth table.
The last gasp/push to rid ourselves of OOP is upon us; code objects of all kinds gonna be dead sooner than later.
Not sure I agree then software engineers will be insulated when everyone can do state management through visual edits. Maybe visual design work will still be a thing; the how to get machine into desired state is most certainly not going to be with visual syntax structure fir much longer
Am talking about low level Linux kernel interfacing stuff, my own Google Opal like UI generator...still rough but it's machine state to bang into shape not a bridge. It works but needs the refinement common to early development
Imo due to recent job trope developments a lot of devs expect a git repo that feels like a 3-ring binder with their senior thesis and such tucked within
Local models inability to one shot such is being used as cope. Imo these models are more capable than we want to believe
This all reminds of 20 years ago when sysadmins refused to acknowledge the cloud would take off due to privacy concerns of businesses
Look how that went
Data center needs are inflated to try and capture all the business but future devices capable of optimized battery/telemetry aware local inference would satisfy most people
The data centers serve 3 groups; SaaS workers, data center landlords/CEO/shareholders, politicians being paid off by data center landlords/shareholders
The other billions on the planet do not directly benefit as much. Merely as a side effect of trickle down
Or it was determined even with IT rules the threat was too great
We're talking about coke head bankers while headlines the CEO of nvidia got socially engineered by hottie spies; read the room, dude
There is inherently competition with entropy and just getting ourselves out of bed to deal with everything
Corporations and brands and tax codes are just culture war distractions on top of the raw physical competition; middle ages like words of power
The competition is with the physics that binds us to Earth; does it? Or are we just to distracted by rhetorical competition between legal constructs to embrace the levers of science
Rhetorical competition wrt to markets type blather is only seeking internal consistency with an arbitrary rhetorical framework. Not pushing the boundaries of engineering based on science.
Yall can have AI agents simulate Bloomberg terminals so actual physical scientists can focus on the necessities ground truth work you take for granted
Corporations demanding payment for everything at whatever margin they want is little different than taxation without representation and local cops shaking people down for money at random; just different legal semantics
I can do that too. What obligation to accept this has any meaningful relationship to my existence?
I agree with Lecun there is no intelligence embedded implicitly to language syntax; but he's wrong about code because it does capture an observable physical state relative to a machine.
Context matters.
The same has yet to be said of human semantics as awareness of them is never uniformly distributed.
That's why small models uniquely tuned to local context and ability will eventually succeed as everyone will just run their own little inference loop on their device telemetry and IO
And then with our local hospitals compute infra perhaps we can synthesize designer personalized drugs rather than continue with over-centralized planning
Maxwell's equations didn't work until he quit trying to account for entirely simulated abstraction levers and pulleys because that's how physical reality works. We don't have to simulate all states of biology just hot fix over time.
For a long time AI was presumed to never be workable until "why do reality/physics/big bangs/black holes exist?" was resolved. Hm.
But language is leaky abstraction and never meant to be fully representative of reality. Just some lightweight cognitive triggers to light up neural happy paths that invoke memory of sensory input; education.
It's what language is for and what it does.
This is just a restatement that life is about chasing utility. I agree. But utilitarian systems designed for a purpose do 100% exist.
Grammatically correct but so are many Superman comics and I have yet to see a real Superman; educated language use is not evidence the writer made a meaningful point
The behavior of many a ghoul in Washington should make it clear a lot of the bureaucratic fuckery is just to insulate certain people from accountability
And we can neatly set aside that in healthcare it's different and much (if not all) is important safety protocol
Big corps never pivot throughout the whole corp for a single issue, only when risk in a certain context keeps compounding. The Dem wins compounded risk of legal action; it's not just that the laws are on the books. They were on the books a month ago.
"Yeah that's what I said it's to hedge legal risk."
It's the way you said it; ignoring potentially relevant political context. A lot the rhetoric demonizing politics is intentional to embed a negative reaction causing us to discount it's value
Writing for me anyway is more like a general anxiety release valve.
Thinking is we just do without external tools as we reassess frame to frame due to the world around us not being static; we develop object permanence of a tree for a while but are burning calories to replace on a much shorter timeline; whole lot of physical state still updating on shorter timelines than a tree; so our brains automatically always wipe and refresh the canvas as a natural consequence of relative entropy
We track these deltas and how to deal with them; writing helps deal with scenarios where there is no roof to fix to stay sheltered. What do I do with these thoughts with nowhere to go; I have food, I have shelter? Writing.
Just keep dealing themselves back in with data center deals they can wave in the face of Congress and be all "economy/your personal wealth vanishes implodes if you don't help us keep the sheep in their cloud pen".
Big compute is def useful for huge projects like in health and engineering
But it's trivial for us these days, that grew up using and configuring these systems to do things like distribute photo backups among family's gadgets without big tech middle
It's 100% the same old serfdom/feudal shit where a few hundred average typically stupid humans the world wouldn't actually miss call the shots because their name is on a piece of paper
Americans are fucking lazy chumps and deserve to get railed for it
