2 parties, there are only two parties. and they vote on a majority of issues the same way. defense spending, judicial nominations, rote legislation, etc.
at least china isn’t pretending to be anything else
when they keep saying “oooh this new model is too big and crazy and totally can’t be released” or “this new model is a 10x game changer totally unlike our previous iterations” it feels sort like boy crying wolf. yes they’re still pretty clearly improving models, but when you’ve hit diminishing returns / more incremental gains and you’re still saying this is sounds like pure PR hype from a company that previously been the “honest good guys” in the room
i suspect based off some light readings around this that there will be even more of a wealth transfer in the coming 20-30 years as the boomers fall off. medical costs for advanced age, asset prices like housing falling off in certain areas, mismanagement of retirement funds, and even just continuing the mentality of “i can’t take it with so might as well spend”

sorry but good god what an asshole this writer sounds like. a majority of people go to costco because it’s drastically simplifies the grocery shopping experience and saves money. easier to buy for 3 weeks at a time vs once a week, reduces decision paralysis on basic goods from fake variety at the grocery store, and again for a cheaper price than most places around
reducing the experience to “settling into the drudgery of middle age” scream more of a reflection of OP than any costco normal shopper

would love to hear more about your experiences at this time! sounds super interesting compared to how corporate tech has become in even the past 5-10 years alone
ugh the declarative short pseudo-sentence, markdown arrows everywhere, and asinine metaphors. the trillion dollar future is here and it’s just markdown files shouting how they’ve solved machines intelligence by propagating a different flavor of markdown files. maybe it is useful, but seeing the field reduced to this leaves a sour taste in my mouth
is it really unthinkable that another oss/local model will be released by deepseek, alibaba, or even meta that once again give these companies a run for their money
