New comment by krona in "Extinction-Level Capitalism"

Nazism is as eschatological as Marxism (class vs racial struggle) and many other secular/religious ideologies with utopian endpoints.

Depending on your point of view there's no difference (because the end justifies any means), but I think the True Believers of these ideologies would beg to differ.

> literal, unashamed Nazi

He's a Christian Zionist which is the belief in the fulfilment of old testament biblical prophecy. This seems diametrically opposed to Nazism to me, ideologically. I don't know how you'd square the two.

I'm actually talking about both. WSJ publishes Anthropic artificial profitability. Days later the reason for the profitability appears in SpaceX S-1; it's compute costs were artificially suppressed. Both are going public. It's a quid pro quo.

They need to financially engineer a good looking quarter beforehand.

Perhaps Larry Ellison can cut them a nice quid pro quo for a few months to make OpenAI look profitable (like the SpaceX/Anthropic deal), although that's probably unlikely given the debt Oracle is taking on to build it's infra.

> One reason is that blaming Israel for the Iran FUBAR situation is very convenient, especially for keeping MAGA on board.

Polling shows support for Israel is far greater among Trump loyalist voters than non-loyalist Republicans, so this is surely false.

Perhaps you're confusing "MAGA" with actual American nationalists, who are statistically irrelevant.

> The actual cost is going to drop 99%

Do you mean the marginal cost by the producer, or the cost on the consumer? I can't see the price of electricity falling much, and the demand curve is apparently exponential if the hype is to be believed.

I like the alliteration but the article is trying to pitch a dichotomy where one need not exist. China is a good example of classical fascism with 21st century characteristics and according to the article it's working great for them.

There's your answer.

> The Metropolitan Police are (justifiably) expecting this protest to turn into a violent riot

Robinson has organised 4 London rallies in recent years and this is the second Unite The Kingdom rally. So what makes you think this will be the one which turns violent?

It's basically families listening to speakers on a stage.

I'm not sure what your argument is since the police enforce the law as it is, not as it should be. "Without fear or favour."

> The ISIS-linked kid that bombed Manchester Arena was known to every intelligence agency and was even physically stopped by venue security before being released due to concerns about racism in enforcement.

The bureaucratic solution to situations like the Arena bombing is to remove human judgment and replace it with 4k video analytics. The technology already exists. I don't like it either but if there is ever a way to remove decision making power from a person by means of technology or process, the bureaucracy will gleefully use it.

Perhaps it will be the first protest where FR is used, but the first pilot (which ended in March) just put 2 FR cameras on a street in Croydon and they arrested "170 wanted criminals" in 6 months.

I can't tell if you're trolling but `unsafe { crash() }` is safe from the compiler's perspective. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to achieve anything in 'safe' rust, even print to stdout.

Two main reasons: Foreign direct investment, averaging ~5% GDP/year, largely to build and fully integrate Polish industrial base in to Germany. Secondly: an education system designed to create an economy on advanced manufacturing.

The same has been happening in Slovakia; GDP growth per annum very comparable to Poland since 1995.

As a typical example my very German car has many components with "made in " on the side.

FWIW The lowest hazard ratio they came up with in both their models was 5+ eggs/wk + 1 portion (14g) nuts/seeds per day.

The study wasn't about veganism so it isn't as useful as other finer-grained dietary patterns or intake variables which they account for.

They give the data for the specific factors. What is the missing variable which explains their result?

Daily hours of sunlight? Average number of sudoku completions per day?

True, but it conveniently hides the fact that voltage control becomes more of a problem in a low inductance environment.
