Honestly kind of shocked de Beauvoir got in

Well first off Bret was speaking specifically of children who grew up in America, so the comparison sort of loses value of his point. More broadly however first-generation immigrants very often do recreate the patterns of oppression and hierarchy of their home societies.

Well fundamental to their worldview is the assumption that a smart enough AI can convince any human to do anything

It's also pretty easy? Like, removing the distinction on grades of shares might fix things on its own levels of easy.

Also like, spending money on Texas is itself a bad thing for the GOP! They'd rather not!

They are shockingly bad at answering that question! Very frequently they are simply incorrect.

A secondary residence is kind of mandatory which is why we should create the Congressional dorm

The technical limitations at this point are hardware, and while you can run *a* model on a commercial machine the bleeding edge frontier shit that self improves requires massive data centers and that's probably not changing just due to how training works. The physical place needs to exist!

Dammit I meant to put this here and pinged someone from a year ago on accident, but hidden in the quoted threads is someone correctly guessing the demolition of the East Wing

Kind of hate that elsewhere in that thread is someone correctly foreseeing the demolition of the East Wing

I did miss it and will need to take a look but honestly I want to see more of this insane Empire.

This is one of those series that I desperately wish there was more of but also I think the exact correct amount was written for, it's very frustrating that we don't have more but at least it didn't become late Artemis Fowl.

You could probably have a slimmed down one use version of these that remove the need for airborne to use chutes, I guess?

I honestly think building some new monuments would be a good idea but everything Trump touches is just the tackiest shit in the most offensive location possible, so they should blow this up and build a better one on the ruins of Mar-a-Lago.

I like how his examples of absurd reuse are things that can be trivially done inside of one year.

Honestly Stannis passing the throne to Renly is probably the best long term solution but only if everyone agrees that will happen - which isn't impossible to guarantee, Stannis just has to pledge to not remarry.

You may be interested in Anbennar, which is principally about this tension even if most of its writing is trapped inside of a mod for Europa Universalis IV.

The American perspective is skewed by a lack of real urban density and significantly lower electricity prices. That said, fundamentally I don't see a *physics* reason why you can't combine heat pumps with passive cooling schemes (like tree cover) in major European cities.

For context that's Sean Sweeney, the Spurs defensive coordinator who almost certainly drew up the play that had no one guarding OG on the inbound

This may be out of scope but a unit on Korean experiences in the Second World War would be very interesting, they usually get ignored.
