The UK were never a partner of the free movement, you’d have to dig out your passport every time you were entering their country and I doubt freedom of movement would be on the top of their list of things they’d want from a partnership with the EU

But he’s the establishment candidate! Just ask Farage!

Veritasium themselves has a video on the topic, they’ve indeed sold parts to investors

10 years post claim entering a getting there phase is good.

For plasma fusion it took like 40 years post promise to the getting there phase, as long as the getting there phase means private investors are willing to fund

Citizens of USA are Americans, but likewise are citizens of Mexico, Honduras and Paraguay

Statistically speaking, then immigrants and refugees, commit more crimes.

It’s not so much the first generation (the immigrants/refugees themselves) but second and third generation growing up in the country of destination, well and often origin for 2nd/3rd.

Even when factoring for socioeconomic factors, they’re over represented statistically speaking. But it’s still missing a lot of factors.

There’s more reported crime in areas with closer population density, most immigrants aim for the big cities; As they’re often more diverse and have better job opportunities, but they’re often ending up in below median pay jobs. Combined with living in the most expensive areas, they often end up living in some of the roughest neighbourhoods of the big cities.

While a lot of the poor people among the natives tend to live in rural locations, which sees less reported crimes and tends to have no/few turf wars.

Looking at immigrant workers going to Europe during the worker shortage of the 70s, lots of Turks and Persian folks migrated for jobs and a lot of new cheap housing were built at the edges of city centers. These areas full of people not speaking the native tongue, under median pay. Was the perfect storm to ensure slower than wanted immigration/assimilation - Ideally you’d want to spread migration across the entire country, so Ibrahim, Jiao, Radoslaw, Brian and whatever else their names are would immediately interact with natives from day 1.

Which is exactly what several countries did for Ukrainian refugees, we have examples of countries paying their citizens to house them in their homes and the results are obvious. It worked really well. Although we still have to wait another decade, before we can spot whether or not their children still end up in crime statistics.

There also tends to be rules that disfavours non citizens, an example from Denmark is the fact you can be forced to live with your parents until you’re 21 if you’re a non EU citizen. Even though you were born here, went through the Danish school system aced high school and the likes. You might be forced to stay at home, rendering university impossible for a subset of bright people for a few years of life.

These systematic rules, is something that will turn people against the system and is also a part of the explanation

But the fun thing about the scenario of open source/light weight models dominating. Is the fact all of the leading LLM companies would go belly up, it’s the biggest bear take on Anthropic, OpenAi and the likes - They need to have people use the biggest, most expensive models they can’t run themselves, that’s their entire claim to trillion

Depends entirely on whether or not Moore’s law has hit a physical limit yet.

If we’re still doubling computational every X years for the same cost, we’d be able to see same models cheaper. If we’re however finally hitting physical limits, then yeah. It won’t be cheaper and we can’t just smash more context in it like there’s no tomorrow.

Then the most likely breakthrough would have to be DNA storage (tri point storage, rather than bi point storage) and then we’d need fast read/write to DNA storage. As that’d theoretically allow for more context for the LLMs, context is the biggest bottleneck

Famous non tech companies such as Palo Alto

Just like EU laws are only enforced for EU citizens, but impacts the entire world as it’s easier to allow everyone the features they built to comply with EU laws

Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can’t see a way around flushing

There is one, embrace the sink. Become a sink pisser, it’s just like a pissoir which you wash your hands and face in!

That’s the same story everywhere, people were worried shitless in Norway. Multiple claims of collected taxes going down, then they figured out more than half of the very rich that moved residence out of the country only did so on paper - I believe quite a few nonces got hit by a double tax

Or we’ll just feed them fake news to their bunker, legally claim them dead and hand their wealth over to the people

The big investors are earning money on it, the suits has done the calculations and they’re earning a few percentages more a year dismantling companies than they would, had they chosen stability

Parts of it is also how safe of a bet it is to dismantle, as big capital likes safe investments. Which is largely also why AAA isn’t innovative anymore, they consider it too big of a risk to invent a new wheel

Thing is, they have been doing this for over a decade. Publicly traded companies can’t compete long-term, if there’s a well funded provate competitor

Of course they can, they can use the same aim. Problem is it’s more profitable to grind a company down, let it bankrupt and do the same to the next company. Hence enshittification arrived, venture capital has a full playbook for dismantling companies from the inside.

There’s still a few old bastions wanting stability, Coca Cola Group is the most obvious example of this

Infinifactory it is

I understand MAGA managed to take over the Republican party, but you need funding. Big oligarchical levels of funding to be able to take over a primary party - It was the highway or no way

Not sure travel is as much as a bogeyman as people wants to make it, but we need more efficient travel (hello trains). Most people travel far once or twice a year, it’s not the bread and butter of consumption and has a legitimate positive on peoples mental

While changing to vegetarian diets has no mental related negatives, vegan diets would need a bit of large scale community wide education first - As most people don’t know you can get more protein from nuts than just about any other nutrient on this planet, but damn do they know you can eat cheeses and eggs for the same.

Honestly the solution for changing peoples diets is however quite easy, let people pay their full costs. Abolish agricultural financial support for non essentials (all animal products) and let’s see if people wants meat or the yearly travel

Water is an industrial problem, but focusing on animal related products and fast fashion would get us far

Would the area AMOC pumps heats from also get hotter? Given their hot water won’t be pulled to a colder location, get cooled and come back down.

I assume it’s a double whammy

It saddens me that no one tried to make a third party with Sanders at the helm with the momentum he got in 2014/15, it should had been possible to snatch like a third of the democratic party members

Once they’d unveil actual social democratic policies, some Republican representatives would swap over. As such policies are widely favoured by the American public and has been for a few decades - Nobody is however offering them

2016 would still had been Trump, but 2020 could had been Sanders (or ideally a younger energetic 40 year old) and social democratic reforms
