The AI American pipe dream will fail if for no other reason that the u.s. doesn’t have, and can’t add, sufficient power generation capacity. With that in mind, stuff like this, to me, illustrates that the people in charge are ideologues–theyre not working toward coherent material outcomes.
You likely mean getting the federal reserve under control. The Treasury is already under executive control and is intended to be so.
Imo it’s probably not a good idea for another single entity to hold a copy of IA’s corpus. IA already operates on a shoestring but it still is expensive and labor intensive to operate, which requires an endowment or constant source of funding, both of which come with political entanglements. I just don’t think one org can be indefinite custodians of something so valuable.
A distributed technical solution may eventually be developed which enabled regular people to participate in storing and maintaining the corpus. I think IPFS was supposed to be this kind of solution but seems like the tech isn’t capable or mature enough (Anna’s archive abandoned IPFS for technical reasons and that’s a far smaller corpus). BTW IA has engagement with the dweb community and are interested in finding distributed solutions for storage of IA’s corpus.
This is good advice. I had an implant post hole screwed into my jaw a few months ago. During the initial consultation I honestly explained I get anxious and asked about what kind of drugs I could get. The dentist was literally like “oh we usually prescribe what I like to call ‘happy pills’” which turned out to be some kind of benzos. I also asked for nitrous. It was a total non-event, I don’t remember it at all, and experienced no pain (that I can remember). Also the initial local anesthetic shot you get in the gums is about 50x worse mentally than physically. It hurts way less than when e.g., you bite down hard on a sideways tortilla chip fragment and it gets jammed up into your gums.
So just be honest, ask for meds, and be proud that you’re taking care of your health and your anxiety.
Plastic recycling is a scam that exists to green wash usage of plastics. Apparently it’s even worse than that, actually, bc the presence of sufficient unrecyclable plastic in bins of commingled recycling causes all of it to get landfilled.
Shit drives me insane. Oh God, those tetra pack containers claim to be recyclable, but actually there’s just one recycling facility for them, and it’s in Mexico, so if by the grace of God your municipality actually opts in to recycling this one specific type of packaging, it all gets hauled across the border.

I’ve been trying helix and the built in LSP integration is excellent. Out of the box it’s capable of a lot when paired up with a good language server. The equivalent LSP integration on neovim takes some fat plugins.
I will say helix seems immature in a few areas. I noticed it’s missing tab layouts present in vim. Also might it not be impossible to resize splits? There’s also no linewise selection mode.
Helix out of the boz is close to my 15 years of accumulated vim config, but it seems like it’s not quite there yet.
In the back of my mind I’m thinking about how my retirement contributions are probably headed into oblivion. The likelihood of The Economy™ not taking its final shit before I’m at retirement age seems to be decreasing rapidly. At some point the people who liquidated their retirement accounts will turn out to be the smart ones.
