  • China for all its faults has a functional government, growing economy and rule of law is strictly enforced. Would we be so lucky to become like China. The US is spiraling towards becoming like post soviet Russia.

  • Game engines seem to be explicitly what Odin was built do. I'm just reading their website for the first time but they make that clear.

    My impression of Odin is that its explicitly made to enable you to write unsafe code. But that's good if you want to get some crazy optimizations going through.

  • Yarn > v1.22 is a very different beast than npm. After that version they introduced a "package-manager" field to package.json and yarn will install the specific version of yarn required by that package onto your root system and use that version.

    There's probably some way to do that without messing with your root system but after I encountered that I went back to npm. Let something like nix handle the version of my build tool. Or at least install to my home directory like rustup or sbt.

  • Wrong, the whole purpose of tracking your usage is to identify what kind of consumer you are so they can sell your views to advertisers. Recommendations are based on what category of consumer you've been identified as. Maintaining your viewership is secondary to the process of selling your views.

  • It only must be extremely simplified and evoke emotional reactions. That's just basic propaganda rules. The brainrot quality of the content is a consequence of the sheer quantity of the content. You can't make that volume of content and without making fully automated ai slop.

    What the experiment overlooks is that there are PR companies being paid to flood YouTube with rightwing content and are actively trying to game its algorithm. There simply isn't a left-wing with the capital to manufacture that much content. No soros-bucks for ai minions in keffiyehs talking about medicare.

  • TBH I think his South African background is overstated when it comes to understanding his personality. His opinion on eugenics is way more influenced by e/acc freaks in Silicon Valley than Apartheid.

  • Rich, probably autistic, definitely on a cocktail of drugs which at least includes some designer meth, surrounded by yes men irl, and way, way too online, more than half way to being a 4channer. This guy is so rich that he thinks he can act unilaterally in US history like a late Roman Senator and to an extent he's correct. So yes he's testing the limits but he's also absolutely lost in his own sauce.

  • There were several "social credit systems" that were set up in various provinces. These were mainly attempts to aggregate public records from different departments into one searchable database. It mostly affected business owners since they have the largest public record footprint. The idea was you could look up who owns what business and how many code violations those businesses had.

    This triculates into the american rumor mill and comes out as the "social credit score" meme which is fantasitcal projection from our own opaque credit system.
