Our time is short @SaraGonzalesTX . Mass deportations will correct this, worst of the worst won’t. If Plano, Texas, of all places, has this problem, then you can see how there are 100 million illegal aliens in our country. Commence mass deportations . @nicksortor original post: At a park in Plano, TX with my 5-year-old. We are surrounded by foreigners, speaking multiple foreign languages, making it more difficult for my son to make friends. This is my hometown. It’s unrecognizable. I want my country back.

trump's former "commander-at-large" of the border patrol greg bovino says mass deportations, not deporting "worst of the worst" will "correct" places like Plano, Texas having a diverse population

there are people with a nearly unlimited willingness to pay for wine, but it could also be the case that 95% of wine sold is like $20 or less

the programmers found out about bourdieu. call the cops. no, not the regular cops

heh I was also thinking of that one

on the other hand some would argue we amplify these perceptual distinctions in order to justify the prior social distinction we want to make

I do enjoy my beer that’s local or that comes from Belgian monks or whatever but it’s hard to imagine paying 10x when the beer is indistinguishable in flavor

I do think he’s right about beer specifically, that Imas is overstating the relational aspect of artisanal beer and people would happily buy $1 six packs of the same beer made by a factorio robot factory

it is kinda worded that way, but I figure he just means beer getting better while also getting cheaper to make. nothing turns on there only being one

Can advanced AI lead to negative economic growth? Considering the role of demand in the economics of AI

here's one from Imas himself that takes a bigger picture view about the space of possible outcomes

Why I’m not worried about AI job loss We're not in a February 2020 moment, and ordinary people will be fine

this is a good one along those lines

Alex Imas @alexolegimas · 6h Oh I didn’t realize this was a thread. I think you’re vastly underestimating the preference for socialization in demand for basic services like healthcare, education, and many other sectors. And no, the output of craft brewers is not the intrinsic quality of the product, the whole artisanal model is based on human element being part of the value. I’ll clarify this in a follow up essay, but this is not about performers—if you were correct we would have seen vastly more automation than what we see in the world. Jason Abaluck @Jabaluck · 5h Artisinal beer is valuable because there isn't unlimited free beer that tastes better to almost everyone because it is optimized better than human cooks ever could. Otherwise, few people will care it is artisinal (maybe if made by their family). Jason Abaluck @Jabaluck · 5h I think in environments where quality is uncertain, or where people have very different tastes and there is little vertical differentiation, then these kinds of preferences can matter a lot. But the domain of possible quality for many products far exceeds what humans have come up with so far. The quality differences will be too large for teachers, fitness instructors, therapists, brewers, etc... for demand for human products to survive at meaningful levels. I agree clothing is a bit trickier, as clothing choices are principally about signaling rather than achieving any specific objective (like getting fitter, tasting better, or improving mental health).

you have a ”complementary“ that is supposed to be ”complementarity”

Horses AI progress is steady. Human equivalence is sudden.

funny — I think this horse post agrees with that one. the counterargument from the Imas post is that people seem to value being with and having things done by other people, and they allocate more of their income to that the richer they are

the author was just on Odd Lots, if you want the fun version (haven’t listened yet)

the latter

I rejected this option

What will be scarce? The economics of structural change and the post-commodity future of work

very interesting post (skip the marx paragraph) arguing that AI won’t cause mass unemployment even if it automates many of the things we do now for money because people will still want things done or made by other people

lol exciting

❯ anything ambiguous where you had to make a choice? A few calls went beyond mechanical merge: UI lib heights (DatePicker/DateRangePicker/Listbox/Table). Audit-log's "Denser inputs" commit changed h-11 → h-10 across shared UI primitives. Main kept h-11 and reformatted the classes for Tailwind 4. I kept main's h-11 because the tweak affects the whole console, not just the audit log page, and nine months of main evolution didn't pick up that design direction. If Benjamin still wants denser inputs it should be its own PR. Worth double-checking against the mocks he posted in August. Nav order. Audit-log originally put "Audit Log" right after "IP Pools" (before Subnet Pools/System Update/Fleet Access existed). I put it last in the sidebar and quick-actions list. Could also argue it belongs grouped with Utilization/Inventory as a system-wide observability thing — easy to move. tailwind.config.ts. Main deleted it; audit-log had two keyframe tweaks (pulse 50%→0.66 custom override, pulse2 0%/100% 0.75→0.66). I dropped both rather than porting them into app/ui/styles/index.css. The pulse override in particular was probably deliberate for the skeleton — Tailwind's default is 0.5, audit-log wanted 0.66. If the skeleton looks too flashy that's why. links.ts inlining. Main removed accessDocs/affinityDocs from the links object and inlined those URLs in docLinks. I followed that pattern for auditLogDocs. Could just as well have re-added it to the links object; it's a style call. scim actor kind. The new AuditLogEntryActor variant wasn't in the branch. I mapped scim → [undefined, actor.siloId] (no user, has silo) to keep .exhaustive() happy. That's a guess at the right display — a SCIM client is authenticated-as-silo but not as a user — and the UI label "Actor ID" will just render empty. Benjamin should decide how to actually display SCIM actors. api_token → access_token. The old AuthMethod had api_token; the new type has session_cookie | access_token | scim_token. I assumed …

I'm hearing the robot cannot "figure things out" (one shotting a main merge on a 9 month old PR — not even hard these days but it proves the point)

way ahead of you

if you tell it to ask repeated questions about context until it's certain, that's cheating too!

I think it's sort of always happening somewhere

i love starting with "lots of strange reactions to this game" and following that up with the strangest reaction yet

sovereign citizen ass poasting

your argument is more clever but maybe too subtle. it's easier to explain with RL
