The other alternative is a 100% inheritance tax above a threshold, and make it impossible to transfer wealth to the next generation

There’s 2.200 soldiers in Tapa which I assume would be deployed immediately.

There’s a total of 27.000 soldiers deployed as part of the Enhanced Forward Presence NATO deference. So they need a little more than just “separatists”

Well, Australia has one of the highest per capita spendings a year. Historic data doesn’t really show the current reality. (14.5 tons)

The US does also emit more than twice the co2 a year per capita compared to Europe. (14.2 v 6.5 tons)

Although we’re seeing pockets reduce emissions, we do still increase emissions globally.

Acting locally, means the people hired to handle private jets… Can handle locally. I suppose if you’re rich enough for a private jet, you can pay everyone enough to retire after 5 years. But I doubt they do, so go ahead mechanics. Do your part to keep planes grounded

I think it’s mostly in fields with exponential outcomes, which experiences the too conservative estimates.

We as a species has a really hard time understanding exponential/accelerant movement, we expect the next decade to change as much as the previous one. Despite every decade has been changing more than the previous one did

I honestly think it would do a lot if all sorting algorithms were made open source.

We would quite quickly have mapped out how their algorithms work and which companies are the most predatory

The big games you mention here are what most would coin AA titles, AA is absolutely still able to hit homeruns at time.

But the AAA (biggest budget games) plays a bit too safe, I have a feeling GTA VI might be a banger. But that’s an anomaly for a AAA game.

We need more innovative games, triple A’s should be able to invent new things. Studios quite often does so, and then has it gutted by publishers/investors because it carries too high of a risk

Didn’t it happen around IPO?

One could theorise it was done to boost forward projections at that specific time of the company’s lifecycle

Given EU have created laws to require physical knobs for key features, I’d imagine this will be stopped as well.

BMW is the brand that tests for profit initiatives to see if they stick, I recall them being reported to attempt seated heating as a subscription a few years back

A human brain model would never get us to a super computer, which is their intended goal.

Our brains have about one exaflop of processing. The NVidia B300 has 15 petaflops of processing. Corresponding to 0.015 exa, you’d need 66 of the strongest GPUs on the market to match the processing power of one human brain.

That’s before considering context, current estimations would put the human brain at 2.5 petabytes of storage. The former B300 has 288 gigabytes of VRAM. Corresponding to 0.000288 of one human brain, the earlier expectation of 66 landing flat at 0.019 the storage of a human brain.

Can arguments be made not all brain capacity is at VRAM at all times? Most likely. But context windows is the primary bottleneck, not compute

Our brains are absolute monsters, we’d gain more from understanding how we can have this powerful of a machine on so little space. The bigger breakthrough would be brainbased processing of software, but I’ve not heard of anyone going that route - Probably because it’s not feasible

Hatsune Miku is one way to do it.

Another is to make hologram concerts, which I believe have been done with deceased artists

Which is probably why its pay is ass, because half of us just listens for free without ads

Hey! Some of us watched that movie when we were four

We’re all following the same pattern, the wealth distribution got completely fucked during covid and it hasn’t slowed down ever since. We’re just 5-10 years after you, but I’m scared of the direction especially the UK have made and no proper parties seems to be willing to dismantle the elites yet.

Capitalism will always make wealth trickle upwards, unless you either tax wealth harder than yields or taxes death to oblivion. Personally I’m in favour of 100% inheritance tax after the first 400 thousand euroes, as that’s the most feasible way to transition into a liberal merit based society rather than a nepotistic society based upon how wealthy your parents are which is dominating everywhere today - Including my beloved Denmark.

The problem is the DNC is stacked against the people and have largely become a controlled opposition.

Both parties represent Silicon Valley billionaires, albeit the Republican ones are murkier. Neither party is clean.

If y’all want to be taken serious, you need a new legitimately social democratic party. Social democratic reforms, such as paid healthcare, schooling and more paid weeks off a year are widely supported among the American voters, yep they’re even favourable among Republican voters.

But no one offers them anything but whatever their favourite billionaire asks of them

Eric or Barron?

Nah, they’ll kill Donald and resurrect him to run again

I believe the games which are openeded and only have whatever goals you set yourself, such as Paradox Map games or Cities Skylines are contenders for rarest achievements as well.

Especially when they have updates and new achievements added as time passes.

For Crusader Kings three as an example, most people can probably found the Dai Viet Empire - But only 0.3% of players has the achievement

Or that we were children with gameboys

Although simulations agree with you, that LLM powered agentic frameworks are more efficient than human CEOs at optimising a company. They’re also incapable of feelings, making the board of directors fire them in the majority of simulations, for being too cynical

Replacing CEOs with agentic LLMs, is not a benefit for the workers. Far from it, unless you prefer an openly psychopathic CEO

I think it would be a pretty good joke if they made the combat of the next souls game turn based. Still monstrously difficult, release the game on an April 1st and have the entire gaming subset of players switch their stances
