I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock

my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive

when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost

what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise

I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily

the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing…

China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally

so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine

the gap is ARCHITECTURAL

it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks

it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study…

and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now

BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee

I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one

Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure
Merz at least had the courage to name

it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster

@Hessu357 @feyzullah If they would provide an instruction how to run it on Docker only (Dockge or Portainer as a no brainer setup) I would run one on my Truenas. Look at their instruction video on how to install it, even with some knowledge it is rather puzzling. rem: a normal node already runs on TN

[Lucodex @moneygrid]

@NathanLenae @H_O_L_O_ @unytco IMHO I would argue that you rather should wait until ramping up the amount of edge nodes until it doesn't need the use of the CLI. Furthermore, despite the fact of the amount of cool apps, I don't see many use cases yet without a minimal ACL for Moss.

This cartoon traces the rise of far-right media from Reagan’s repeal of the Fairness Doctrine to Trump-era extremism. It links figures like Limbaugh, Fox News, Alex Jones, and Bannon to a movement spreading conspiracy theories, culminating in MAGA and QAnon slogans.

@angela_walch The current US government is only the tip of the iceberg formed by the will of the masses to avoid an inevitable structural change.

[Lucodex @moneygrid]

@angela_walch We entered the phase of hyper materialism around 25 years ago. And this kind of materialism leads to social collapse, because Entropy becomes not only a law of physics, but a social law too.

@Neighbour_hoods I really like this project, but you don't do your self a favour in choosing such a child play UX design. If you want to get recognised as a serious framework to build social applications, you should at least change the icons.

Quote of the Day, December 9, 2024:

* Ownership as stewardship

""Imagine a world where property is owned because it is being well stewarded rather than ownership being a priori to stewardship. Much of the worst behavior we see in the economy would be impossible, because the second any firm stopped stewarding their properties for the benefit of the larger community, they would no longer own their properties (intellectual or otherwise). In this world ownership is derived from good stewardship, rather than the other way around."

@mbauwens @YouTube Sorry but this "landmark" speech is nothing else than thoughtfully shaped Russian propaganda. Nothing new at all. At the end, even a talented Ghostwriter can't turn lies and propaganda into truth. Of course you can fool some people with it.
