In a hierarchical society, those on top will use any existing govt structures to their benefit
That’s exactly why there’s separation of power! The idea being that executive, legislative and judiciary are of equal power. One can block the strenghten the behaviour of the other on an independant, case-by-case basis.
people affected by a decision should be the ones to make it, not merely to vote for those who promise to do right by them.
Samesees. My utopia would be liquid democracy.
But even here, there would be law! It’s a necessary good, imo.

Would you say we’d be better off by merging executive and judiciary, doing away with legislative?
- Comment on I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician) 10 hours ago:
I think about it quite similar to you. I’d even go a bit further: shortsighted and bad laws are the biggest source of problems.
Often the kind of law that a populist gains popularity/notoriety through.

Not quite true, I reckon. Plenty of examples where both public and executive and legislative would’ve deemed certain behaviour problematic, yet the perpetrator, of marginal power, walks free.
I’d say the law also gives power to the marginalized, when the judicial behaves independently, as they should.
I agree with you there are perversions to this ideal, such as elected judges, plea bargains.

I think RAG will be surpassed by LLMs with tool calling (aka agents), with search being one of the tools.

Can you help me understand the use case?
Is it intended to be a variant of Flower AI that can be used in an adversarial environment?

dreaming of smaller roads and walkable cities.
Grass is always greener, maybe.
It’s a bit like us going: “i love how people in the US live close to a central park, above a coffee shop, in a big appartment, with a bunch of friends, on a bartenders wage”.
The romanticized vision of EU comes from disneyland-esque tourist destinations (which are lovely!), and romcoms, I think. Day-to-day life, ofcourse, differs. (1)

The manual copy is a bit annoying, but in the end it’s maybe 10 minutes of work. Start the transfer in the evening, it’s finished in the morning.

US is a very big place with different cultures.
I always have this inner conflict of not knowing where I truly belong and what’s better for me/where I will be truly happy and feel more “home”.
I think you’ve spend a lot of time thinking about this, which I do too, sometimes too much :) Perhaps it’s possible to visit the US for a holiday, and find out if your expectations match experience?

- Comment on File collecting program? 2 weeks ago:
I’m wondering if there’s a program where anyone can upload files, but can only be viewed and downloaded from the server by authenticated users.
Email does that. One person sends it to your mailbox, only you can download it.
- Comment on Backup for important files/pictures? 2 weeks ago:
I have 5 copies of all my files on 5 devices, synced using syncthing with staggered file versioning. 2 of those are with friends and family who let me put a small thin client at their place.
To protect against me misconfiguring syncthing, or some bug deleting all copies, every 3 months I manually make a copy and put it on a hard drive into a fire resistant safe.

How did we go from one dumb tweet picked by a “journalist”, to “what’s wrong with all the british people and why are they the most sensitive people on the planet”? 🤔
- Comment on Don't Look Up 3 weeks ago:
For one, there’s journalists picking the dumbest tweets and pretending it’s news. Then screenshots of the “news” article of a dumb tweet getting propagated on other fora.
It’s ragebate, conditioning us into a default distrust of and condescension of others.
