let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations. the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with. they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything. that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs and now the refund goes to THEM? the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference the american people funded the tariffs. the corporations profited off the tariffs. and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back. not a single person has even suggested it guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either this country does not work for you. it works for them. it’s a joke and they’re not even pretending anymore

You can’t even drink the tap water in Shanghai.

I constantly criticize China Derangement Syndrome, so you can hardly accuse me of being into China-bashing, but the replies to this are insane. It's just people who either pretend that the same thing is true in the West or claim that it's no big deal if you can't drink tap water.

The United States has a habit of watching its rivals shrink. The Soviet Union collapsed. Japan, which was supposed to own America in the 1980s, is now a far smaller economy. China looks set to follow. In 2021 China's GDP reached 76 percent of American GDP, and the consensus was that it would pass the US before 2030. That consensus has collapsed. By 2024 the US economy was 29.2 trillion dollars against China's 18.9 trillion, a gap that has widened for three straight years. China's working-age population is shrinking. Its fertility rate has fallen to roughly 1.0, half of replacement. There is no immigration to compensate. Yet America benefits from believing it faces a formidable rival. The belief is what keeps it competing.

“La carne de burro es rica en hierro y calcio, hay que incorporarla para saciar el hambre, si todos nos comiéramos a los burros tendríamos una población sana.” Vilma Bedia, senadora argentina del partido del psicópata de Milei, pide a la población que se coma a los burros para combatir la grave escasez de carne en el pais. El consumo de carne vacuna en Argentina cayó a su nivel más bajo en 20 años durante el gobierno sionazi de Milei, ¡viva la libertad (de morirte de hambre), carajo!

The phrase “Japan’s culture and traditions are being destroyed by foreigners” is often repeated by right-wing internet users, but in reality, many Japanese people themselves pay little attention to traditional arts such as Noh, Kyogen, Kabuki, Nihonbuyou(Japanese dance), Sadou(tea ceremony), judo, kendo, and kyudo—while events like the WBC and the World Cup dominate public interest. Speaking as a Japanese person, regardless of whether foreigners are in Japan or not, the real issue is simply that there are not enough people who are willing to inherit these traditions or even pay money to watch or learn them. Blaming foreigners for the decline of Japanese culture is a complete misunderstanding. In truth, it is Japanese people themselves who are neglecting their own traditions and culture, thereby accelerating their decline.

There is a conspiracy theory that says after Iran destroyed American radars in Arab countries, the rainfall increased in Iran. I wonder if it is true, but Alhamdulillah for God's mercy on Iran. Here is the overflow of a Dam in Paveh, Iran after 7 years.

If not in the next 2 days, then idk, probably another month or multiple months. Just a pattern though. We know they're working on it, there exist at least 2 models (scale-wise, <V3.2 and >V3.2), and they seemed to intend to release something all the way in February.

are there people out there who just want to refactor every day? just wake up and find the worst code and just chip away at it and clean it up wake up the next day do it again, infinitely improving things with zero external impact?

Dwarkesh: Why would we want to sell China the materials for a serious cyberweapon? It's like selling them nukes with a casing that says 'made by Boeing' and claiming that's good for the US Jensen: Comparing AI to nukes is lunacy. Enriched uranium is a lousy analogy. It's an illogical analogy. What we have to recognize is that AI is a five-layered cake.
