Is it you, Louis XVI?


Sounds pretty ideal. I am not political scientist, nor do I think political scientist can have solid prediction about success of a macro political system at this level of a abstraction – it is simply too complex of a system.
I feel from the past experiment regarding socialism, there seems to be a conflict between large state and large state serving the will of the people. Power corrupt: for a social democracy to be functional, I believe needs to have (at least the following) two characteristic:


Socialism only states the public ownership of means of production (sometimes called capital), but there is no requirement in the removal of market.
One of the way socialism can develop is when the cost of capital is way below cost of labour, making worker owning their own capital trivial.
However, there is really no requirement on the side of removal of market, universal healthcare, or universal educations etc; these are often consequence of a strong public sector and (at least attempts at) efficient allocation of resource through said public power. In most places people usually equate socialism with big government, that IMO really is Marx-Leninism (which is formulated by neither Marx or Lenin, but Stalin).
Marxism–Leninism holds that a two-stage communist revolution is needed to replace capitalism. A vanguard party, organized through democratic centralism, would seize power on behalf of the proletariat and establish a one-party communist state. The state would control the means of production, suppress opposition, counter-revolution, and the bourgeoisie, and promote Soviet collectivism, to pave the way for an eventual communist society that would be classless and stateless.

Either with market or not, in a socialist society, worker are still compensated for their labor and expertise. In the scenario I described earlier, even more than a capitalist society, since labor is the more valuable resource given the low value of capital.


China never even advertize themselves as a communist country, the official speak is “Socialism with Chinese Characteristic” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristics , but often being moked as another way to say “state-sponsored/authoritarian capitalism”.
In the party’s official narrative, socialism with Chinese characteristics is Marxism adapted to Chinese conditions and a product of scientific socialism. The theory stipulated that China was in the primary stage of socialism due to its relatively low level of material wealth and needed to engage in economic growth before it pursued a more egalitarian form of socialism, which in turn would lead to a communist society described in Marxist orthodoxy.[2]


Okay maybe human shouldn’t make candys look like grease.


comes with built in water cooling
not if I am around.


Question: will AI eventually hurt CPUs? Like memory companies, the TSMC also only have finite production capacity.


IIRC blocking doesn’t stop them from seeing, voting on, and commenting on your post. It is better to pick a server that have de-federated from .ml


I stopped realizing it, but MACA is quite literally the slogan of Xi: 中华民族的伟大复兴 often translated to “Great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” in official English version. However, I feel a more accurate translation might be "the great resuscitation of the Chinese race."1
Basically the xenophobia of MAGA with a sprinkle of racial pride on top.

I have heard way too many “performance in the ballpark of C”, most of the time it means in some cherry-picked example it is slightly slower than C, and most program is 20-50 times slower.
The language design honestly remind me of the old PHP: uses hashtable and array as primitive data structures, and free memory at the end of a function to achieve memory safety.
It seems quite unbelievable to me that it is gonna have C-like performance, since hashtable is usually quite slow compared to even heap access (direct stack allocation, of course, is the fastest); but I would be happy to be proven wrong.


Air frier meat ball or patty. Eat some plain with salt and pepper, some stir fry with onion and/or chilli, some braise with soy sauce or tomato sause.
Optionally, you can also blend a bit of spinach, parsley, and/or cilantro in there for added flavor and fiber; make sure to not mix too much, as they weakens the structural integrity, which might cause them to break in the braise.
If you want to write on it, there really is no device comparable to supernote (it is also a great e-reader, but its writing and annotating features are really unique). They have very full-featured software and excellent pen feel. Specifically, their pen uses ceramic tips, which never wears out, feels like pen writing on a stack of paper, and don’t need battery to operate.
It is repairable (replaceable mobo and battery); supports microSD card; and file transfer through officially-supported self-hosted cloud, most common cloud service, and/or USB.
They have public feature roadmap, and is a very sustainable company that prioritize existing customer over releasing new product.


Not disagreeing with you, but I find it funny that this is the only data structure I have not heard of in this entire thread 🤣


I don’t know if Haskell etc affords you such control
You can have immutable arrary with vectors, but to mutate them you will need to wrap your action in a Monad. It even supports unboxed values.
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector
But I agree boxed default actually causes a lot of performance overhead in many high-level languages.


I heard somewhere people just elected a billionaire sex offender (in 2024), I imagine life must be swell over there.
You can also put tomato and salad in a pan, but there is no tomato and salad, and that is sad.


It is a scam, the address clearly say Wellington, NY
If you want to use a simple setup: single screen, older hardware, and don’t mind minor performance drop in game, the mint is great.
If you want to use a more fancy setup, multiple high DPI screen, or cutting edge hardware, I would try bazzite first.
