@teortaxesTex What about Switzerland? They are the only (somewhat) "true" democracy and the only European country with any kind of real economy and also an industrial power. They frequently vote against populist ballots like the wealth tax proposal.
@teortaxesTex I think you give him too much credit, he isn't racist or caught up in some ideology, he is another Robespierre and has deluded himself into believing that he is the arbiter of truth itself.
He'd be ordering infernal columns and invent his own god if he had any real power.
@wylfcen I knew i read "tepor" somewhere so i looked it up and it actually was an actual English word, people just stopped using it but it is (was?) in the dictionary!
@Meredicchio Napoleon ended the French revolution you dumbass.
While the start date is more debatable every historian agrees the coup of 18 Brumaire was when it definitely ended.
Maybe google some basic facts next time?
@Viperdarkblue@Porkchop_EXP Because in the rest of the world cashiers work an extra 8 hours every week?
What I hate about Germans is that you people literally can't conceive of a reality where you're wrong, at no point do you ever ask yourself whether you are actually correct or not or the reason why (not)
@growing_daniel The first trillionaire won't be Elon but whoever figures out a startup that just buys T-bills and dresses it up enough to convince VC firms it's revenue.
@Authw8 More like a heavy hitter in the mob, technically just a button man but everyone just lets him do whatever because he's the guy you send when you need a problem solved.
@MichaelAArouet [2/2] increase consumption from that point outwards because of entropy, "net zero" is quite literally physically impossible.
So what do you do then, what's the end goal?
It's death and decay, that's the only possible answer, that's the inevitable conclusion of their ideology.
@MichaelAArouet [1/2] Reducing energy consumption for the sake of it, the foundation of the modern European religion, is so inherently anti life itself i truly believe it's believers are ontologically evil.
Even if you somehow reach absolute energy efficiency, due to entropy you have to-
@bryancsk And those are only the ones where we lose today even with modern tools/environments, if you want to actually compare skill you'd not just be wrong but it would be the exact opposite.
I'd just have to point at 1 example: The Lycurgus Cup.
@bryancsk This is complete and utter nonsense:
- Dhaka muslin was so fine even our best attempts don't get close, it's literally impossible to re-create
- Roman cameo glass, the Portland Vase took 3 years to copy
- Historical Damascus steel
- Roman concrete (only recently re-discovered)
@allgarbled I found that GLM 5.1 is the only model that seems to actually think and bring up stuff because it's relevant rather than because it wants to bring up stuff or just agree with you, both just for the sake of doing so
So it's not a factor of being "smart enough" as GLM is quite dumb
@0xAlaric Bot sure how related it is, but I found that when using plan mode, instead of clicking โgo,โ you should ask it: โBecause we focused on..., first review the plan on its own merits.โ
That framing seems to make it answer what it thinks, instead of what it thinks it needs to answer.
@samuelcolvin I'm running Codex +10 hours every day on xhigh and get down to around 10% weekly on the 100$ plan (with the May multiplier so I'll have to upgrade today).
Your guess is as good as mine.
