Happy to if you have any pointers. My original point is that the US kills millions of people outside of its borders, something China most definitely does not. The number is over 12 million post-WWII: https://www.worldfuturefund.org/Reports/Imperialism/usmurder...
Replace the U.S. with another world power. Would it be better or worse?
Its always easy to criticize the power that is in place and treat them as if they are to blame for all the ills of the world. It is easy to criticize when you are the nation that is asked to help provide international security for commerce on the high seas. But exchange another nation in the U.S.'s place, and I guarantee you most would make similar decisions, and many (e.g. Soviet Union) would be, hands down, worse and more brutal.
Well if you discount the people China has killed and is killing within its borders, the number is definitely smaller. As well as another land empire called Russia.
What sorts of apps are those? I tried testing various models with a test app as a benchmark, a local first app with CRDTs, and many, even frontier models, struggle heavily.
I actually was able to get the CRDT stuff working with the latest models, just had to set thinking to the maximum and also have it continually test itself in a loop via MCP without my intervention so after chugging along for an hour it seemed to have fixed everything itself.
and you're not alone (I run Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B at home too).
But just for the sake of discussion, let me ask: Who is the service provider you're using to run Deepseek V4? Do you have any way of knowing whether that compute is happening in the US or abroad?
I don't know how you can say that. What does "free market capitalism" entail according to you? Wikipedia's definition is just a ruse to be able to claim that free market capitalism is sane, but you can't exclude a governing authority and monopolies at the same time, because the latter always arises. So, in reality, you have to choose, and if you choose absence of authority, corporatocracy is an automatic extension of free market capitalism.
Every unmaintained system degrades. That's next to a tautology. In my opinion, the base problem is modern technology itself that creates the capability for widespread wealth inequality and social fragmentation, without needing real labor or social bonds anymore.
I think the latter problem already existed 1000, even 2000 years ago.
But maintenance requires supervision, which seems to contradict "free" in "free market capitalism." Without restrictions, greed makes corporations (or armies, or the maffia) seek influence at the highest levels of governance.
Only in the minds of people who make capitalism a religion. It has always been like this, early capitalism was even worse with dirty money buying every politician they could get their hands on. Just read anything about the US in the end of the 19th century.
