What do you think the chances are that we are currently in a large (AI related or not AI related) bubble that will pop? It seems like the money printing of the past few years has massive upward pressure on the stock market so I don't know how to unpick the two.
Betting against AI will make you broke, betting for AI will make you broke. Staying away is the smartest thing so far. Take Deepseek - they did magic with inference and the model is next to free now. I use it as daily drivers for heavy coding sessions and it is essentially free - I can barely burn trough 1$ daily. Even if they increase the price - I guess I will have the same USD consumption after 31st of may because flash is just a gem. With china compute ramping up and open models being so close behind the closed ones - the margins that Anthropic and OpenAI expect are just not there.
On the other hand - the technology is transformative. I don't think that there is a single programmer left that doesn't use AI heavily - even the holdouts grudgingly started to admit that latest models are better than juniors. I expect tokens to end up like electricity and oil - ubiquitous, affordable, metered by consumption but absolutely commodified with a mix of locally and remotely running models.

There was huge mail order bride industry in the Eastern Bloc after 1990. And huge porn for whatever is worth. With going rates of 100$ for a shoot if you believe producers. And sex tourism too. If normalized in the last years, so I guess we actually caught up to the west.

Even if GDP was the same in the countries listed, the gini coefficient was wildly off. You can check how poor a country is by how many mail order brides it generates if the women there are hot.

That is totally not true. The recovery in Balkans was at best 2006-2007. And then the global financial crisis hit. The standard of living took almost 20 years to recover. And arguably for people that are retired it never did.

The population of USSR and Warsaw pact was roughly 500 million that got their living standards fall 3 times overnight. During the 90s we had even food insecurity and hunger.

No. Because the fall of the Soviet Union threw probably half a billion people into massive poverty. To which almost 40 years later we still haven't totally climbed of.

Pulled pork that sous vided two months ago. Memphis dust salt, 24h at 74C. Today finished for half and hour at 150c oven.

Hitler was subhuman. He was vegetarian after all.

"Likes both Hitler and Netanyahu" is odd enough to be worth contrasting,
Is it? Both need Lebensraum, both view their neighbors as potential targets for conquest, both draw their legitimacy from historic grievances, nationalists, conservative, preside over some of the best engineering minds in the world. Both policies could lead to their countries potential downfall. Somewhat cavalier attitude towards the civilian suffering and deaths inflicted on the populations they subjugate.
If you have a general liking to nationalist strongman, they are not that different aside from their answers on the jewish question.

When people say Indian they think the vocalist of Bloodywood and not the rapper of Bloodywood.

One of the longest living populations in the world subsists on cigarettes, wine, prossecco, prosciutto, salami and aged cheese ...
As long as your kidneys are ok and you drink a lot of water - salt is not really an issue.

So big week in models - in the matter of hours we got GPT-5.5, Deepseek V4 and Opus 4.7. What are your impressions so far - mine - GPT-5.5 is the least underwhelming of the 3. Deepseek is really capable at insane prices, Opus 4.7 at least for me it totally undistinguishable from 4.6
Also the limits are absurdly tight on the 20$ level.

After that, he went and got a second degree from a low-tier university, possibly in furtherance of his desire to make video games.
That is the second stupidest plan this guy had. You don't need degree to make video games.

Both cases are better excuse for riots and arson than Floyd. During the Floyd riots everyone was out with impunity.

Sarin is quite easy to make from what I remember from high school. The hard part was surviving to deploy it.
Homebrewed explosives are not that common either but definitely more practical than chemical weapons.
If this is not a proof that department of education should be disbanded, I don't know what else could be. Organic chemistry is what - 8th grade?

If I was Trump I would give him the pardon for everything but the wounding of the agent.

No they are not. Progressives are as cowardly as everyone else. When LARPing as resistance was free during the first Trump admin all of them were stunning and brave, now in the second admin when he is totally unchecked and unhinged, they are nowhere to be found when his admin gave signals that this time resistance will have consequences.

Where I live in Europe - if your skin is lighter than sicilian and you have foreskin - you are white.
What about burning the oil wells ? Once they start burning they are pretty hard to put down.
