Since late 2025 is one year, not two. It could also be a blip since a lot of weird shit is happening in China, like lowered demand for Chinese goods and factories being burned down by unpaid workers

Show numbers, not speculation.

Ok. Forget per capita. The us is reducing absolute co2 emissions and China is not.
Ok Christ. Drop per capita. The us (and just about every western country) is reducing co2 emissions and China is not. Happy?
China is the one doubling down on fossil fuels. They are commissioning several coal plants. Meanwhile, the us is still reducing CO2 emission (us is currently at pre-WWI levels) and the mix of renewables is increasing.
Was it "intuited" or empirical?

You could have done what was reported.
As someone who has monkeyed around with the zig compiler, having the bootstrap done made monkeying around way, way more straightforward than when it wasn't around. I will admit I don't know the details and it's possible the QOL improvements that affected me only depended on other things that got solved along the way. But I have been building the stage0 and stage1 compilers to get my first artifact when I bump to the latest.
BoBW is honestly more of a riker arc (and the title refers to riker); but Family rounding out the three parter is quite good. Here's a few you missed:
The Ensigns of Command (as a mirror to the b-story data predicament).
The First Duty
Devil's Due
Ensign Ro
At the same time he was making way too many calls in the "Picard" series.
There are Sun Synchronous orbits that will be used eventually

I see what you did there
The thing is you're cherry picking dumb events, so there's observation bias. I'm sure in the last year I would have done something on your list, even if they aren't things I regularly do. And besides that's not what idiocracy is representing.
> I have not been impressed overall with their intellectual capacity for learning important and lifesaving knowledge in preparation for life-changing natural survival conditions which are outside of their daily routine
Sounds like you are vastly overestimating the intelligence of the median.
Net worth. It's a pretty good proxy. Unless you think there's some reason to think among the rich smart people are anti-selected for reproduction.
> This does not appear, at least to my mind, to have direct bearing on observable trends in general population IQ in the short term, nor does it appear to be addressing future outcomes
No but the proposed mechanism in Idiocracy is clear, and that is not happening. We may still head towards an dumb future, but it's not Idiocracy.
that's why I wrote "feel more likely" in quotes. Emphasis on feel
Seems not? Just good old gpu allocations colliding
thanks for the correction. Corrected.
the language around complexity domains is really confusing.
P means "this problem can be solved in polynomial # of steps relative to the problem size"
NP means "we don't know if the problem can be solved in polynomial # of steps relative to problem size, but we know we can check if the result is correct in a polynomial # of steps relative to the problem size"
!ETH: it was widely suspected that the flagship problem in NP, 3SAT, requires an exponential # of steps relative to problem size. We now know that 3SAT requires AT MOST something more than polynomial but strictly less than exponential to solve.
"P = NP" means "if you can check it in polynomial time, there's some way to solve it in polynomial time". "P != NP" means "there are some problems checkable in polynomial time for which there is no polynomial way to obtain the result"
Today's new proof makes "P = NP" "feel more likely", because we know that the flagship problem in NP is not exponential.
but you're telling me.... there's a chance
sure. It's less likely let's say. More opportunity for competition to arise per business cycle when growth is still there but has natural drag due to money not being cheap.
It's okay honestly a low effort post on my part. Thanks for responding
I'm not an economist but it's pretty obvious to me that walmartization is downstream of Financialization which is not inherently free market (its a product of centralized banking and interest rate and bailout policies)
Leaked s1 filing, I would guess
Did you read the anthropic S1 or are you just saying this?
