You may not like foreign slave labor, but have you considered the fact that it's illegal, and we do it anyway?

Maxxers, not optimists. They talk as if the world is going to completely flip tomorrow. Many things they said 3 or 4 years ago have come true to a degree but not entirely (all jobs will be gone, AI movies will be made, this will solve all our problems ect, ect), and I've waisted a lot of time seeing if they're right far earlier than I need to. They also don't understand why AI isn't intelligence. I'm not even convinced that jobs have disappeared. I just think that they moved them to less skilled workers because they believe that AI fills in the gap.

mother in law is so certain Jesus is coming back now "because of *waves hands* all the signs" that she doesn't plan anything beyond 2030

All of my major foreign policy predictions over the last 5 years have come true, yet I haven't done anything significant in politics. That makes me a retard. It's kinda like someone saying "isn't it great that I can a lot of gfs" yet never gets married. Yeah it seems impressive, but you've done nothing impressive with it.

I'm pretty sure git has stunted version management for at least 10 years and probably 30. Version management should probably be integrated into the programming language and have a suite of tools for working with teams. This isn't me insulting it, but Git is a naïve approach to version management much in the way that C was a naive way to write languages. It's not like it was bad, it is the language that we use for all of our OS's, but it's obviously missing some features and insights that we are building right now.

Great civilizations are made up of great people who make great things. Most people I know aren’t interested in this level of precision because it seems absurd, they’re interested in making money, the market isn’t informed on their niche, or they don’t have the talent or can’t see how they’d obtain it. All of these actually are things you have to balance, but we should be looking to maximize all of them instead of defaulting to compromises. This is very difficult to grow for a number of reasons, but the biggest one I’ve seen is that we’ve become more interested in the means to get there as opposed to the goal itself. Also my text messages only work 50% of the time now.

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

@glcst I keep jumping back and forth. I feel like I need to up my AI usage to get good at it, but also I feel like I'm always having to fix AI issues.

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty. It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome. As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry. This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles. The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

Half the Muslim countries on earth are below replacement rate. The other half are barely above it. Replacement rate is based on children per woman, so as the forces that caused the rest of the world to have a plummeting birth rate trickle into the Muslim world, their birthrates will collapse even harder because you can’t expect one man to take care of the children of four women better than the children of one woman.
