The people who vibe code do not know what a container is
A genuine question: Why are we only vibe coding simple web apps? Why don't we vibe code Kubernetes, operating systems, compilers, databases, and other complex software? Is AI really not good enough to build all of these?

Thank you for all the wonderful stories you helped express. I would not have pursued the path I had in life if not for star trek TNG. Wherever you find yourself now, if at all, know you made the world a better place.

¥95 million for a Zhuque-3. That's barely 20% of the price of a Falcon-9
Official bidding results released by AVIC Chengdu effectively seal the deal for LandSpace's Zhuque-3 to launch the Haolong-1 reusable cargo spaceplane. Ranked as the primary winning candidate with a bid of ¥95 million (~$13.3M), LandSpace edged out CAS Space’s Kinetica-2 (¥100 M) by a razor-thin ¥5 million margin. The contract requires the launch service and on-orbit delivery within a 5-year window. #CNSPACE

El señor Zelenski debería mirar bien estas imágenes… Es el líder de la Revolución cubana, Fidel Castro, recibiendo a miles de niños ucranianos que sufrieron exposición a radiación en el accidente de Chernobyl… fueron recibidos en Cuba y tratados integralmente durante más de 20 años sin ningún costo, como un deber humano con el pueblo soviético. Ayer, Zelenski, en “agradecimiento” por aquel gesto, votó en la ONU a favor de que se mantenga el bloqueo cruel y genocida contra mi país… La miseria humana no tiene límites!

亲爱的德国人,你起码犯了两个常识错误。 一、中国没有40平米的房子。除了单身公寓这种数量极少的投资型物业,中国的房子通常在90平以上,大城市在80平以上。 二、奔驰、宝马、奥迪不再是中国人追逐的品牌。现在的中国人喜欢电动车,而德国品牌的电动车被称为杂牌电动车。 当你的基础认知就已经是错误的,你只能得出荒谬的结论。 中国商品之所以物美价廉,是因为中国有齐全且集中的供应链、高效的物流系统、自动化的生产车间,以及规模优势拉低了边际成本。 中国当然也可以为那些优秀的商品定一个昂贵的价格,以换取丰厚的利润。过去你们就是这么干的,现在以我们的产品竞争力,也有条件这么干。 但我们不这么干。 这是因为,提高利润的代价是销量降低。对于你们那个只有几千万人口的国家来说,你们无需追求销量,无需扩大能量,因为你们无需为社会提供那么多的就业岗位。 但我们是一个14亿人口的国家。对我们来说,与其只创造1000个岗位,让这1000人拿一份丰厚的薪水,不如创造10000个岗位,让10000人拿一份普通的薪水。 薄利多销,能够支撑起更大的产能,提供更多的就业岗位。对企业来说,还能获得规模优势,压缩单件商品成本,扩大市场份额,创造更大营收,然后还有了更多的资金投入研发,如此循环滚动。 另一方面,这也大大有利于消费端市场,让全世界的消费者得以享受到物美价廉的中国商品。 想想你们的盾构机。曾经你们以一台 3.5 亿元人民币的价格买给中国。你们自恃垄断了制造技术,宁愿维持一个极低的销量,宁愿让那些发展中国家用不起,也要追求丰厚利润。 中国实现盾构机国产化之后,我们将每台的价格降至3000 万元人民币以下,不到你们价格的1/10。 诚然,我们没有赚到你们那么多的利润,但我们为发展中国家提供了质优价廉的采购选择,促进了那些国家的建设与发展,同时我们扩大了市场份额,创造了更多的生产就业岗位。 我们在做着多方共赢、造福世界的事业,你们则喜欢用技术垄断剥削全世界。当中国打破你们的技术垄断,你们恨得咬牙切齿。因为你们不仅仅是丧失了利润,而且丧失市场份额,丧失了就业岗位。 你们在工业领域的失守,仍在加剧。以前,德国汽车只想要中国的工人和市场,但现在,他们不得不将研发重心也放到中国。 你们愚蠢地与俄罗斯开战,切断了俄罗斯的能源供应。你们几十年去工业化,导致理工科学生数量大幅下降,工程师人才极度缺失。 这样的营商环境,导致你们的企业纷纷关闭德国工厂,迁往中国和美国。 你们失业,你们抗议。但这一切都是你们自己的选择,你们并不无辜。
Liebe Chinesen, Ihr schuftet euer Leben lang, eure Kinder für ein paar Euro gleich mit – für 40 m² und vielleicht einen BYD. Während ihr von Mercedes, BMW und Audi träumt, kauft der Westen eure Arbeit billig. Bitter, oder? „Made in China“ steht hierzulande für billig Ware.

It's crazy how many Americans can become accomplished Journalists while still having a kindergarten level understanding of politics outside their Democrat-Republican bubble.

The only possible argument in favor of an upgraded SLS (outside of naked politics and socialism) is that you don't believe SpaceX can build large rockets. It's basically a bet that Boeing is better at building rockets (core stage and upper stage) than SpaceX.

西方热衷于宣传毛泽东时期中国死了多少人,实际上都是编造的。况且西方人根本不在乎中国人的死亡,毛泽东掌握权力之前的一百年,西方国家一直在屠杀包括中国人在内的许多民族。为什么毛泽东来了之后,他们突然开始关心起中国人的安危来了?实际上是因为毛泽东阻止了他们继续殖民,掠夺,剥削,屠杀。
Mao Zedong was the first non-Arab leader to support the Algerian revolution politically, financially, and militarily (one of the most honorable and purest anti-colonial revolutions in history) The West which supported French colonizer, won't be teaching us ethics and history now

Because the models are wrong. They are based on faulty assumptions. Many investors (and economists) believe the efficient-market hypothesis. They are blind to how markets are often driven by politics. This is why emerging markets often rally when right-wing politicians win elections. It's not because fundamentals suddenly got better or because corporate earnings increased. It's because wealthy investors overwhelmingly prefer right-wing politicians, who they assume will serve their interests by promoting deregulation and privatization. We saw a ridiculous bubble emerge in Argentina's stock market immediately after the election of right-wing "libertarian" President Javier Milei, who has overseen an economic catastrophe. In Brazil, wealthy investors wanted Bolsonaro to win. In fact, they assumed he would win, and this was priced in. When he lost, they panic sold. It was driven by politics, not economic fundamentals.
BREAKING: Brazil's -19.8% stock market crash on Monday was one of the rarest market events in the last two decades, according to our analysis. Brazil's EWZ ETF plunged -19.8% on October 26th, marking an 8.4 standard deviation move. For context, the ETF's average daily move over the last 20 years has been just +0.04%, with a standard deviation of 2.36%. Under a normal distribution, the probability of a decline this extreme is approximately 1 in 58 quadrillion. In other words, this event should be virtually impossible under conventional statistical models. What just happened in Brazil was *almost* impossible.

你好,你比较有礼貌,所以我也认真的跟你说: 假设一个人 实现了: 民族解放 妇女平等 土地革命 废除不平等条约 基础工业化 全民基础医疗 全民基础教育 其中之一, 他是不是一个优秀的政治家? 如果这些都是他做到的,这是不是一个伟人? 问题在哪里? 在中国的历史书上,我们会详细的讲法国大革命,讲英法百年战争,讲伏尔泰、卢梭、孟德斯鸠,讲拿破仑和他的法典,讲戴高乐和自由法国,讲法国共产党地下斗争。 我们知道法国的英雄和伟人 那么你们的教育呢? 每一个第一次来到X的中国人,都会感觉,这里就是一群文盲在屎坑里裸泳,就是这样。你们的教育缺乏对世界的了解,所以才会做出如此傲慢的答案 这就是问题所在。

"Astronaut" is a word that carries respect due to the immense amount of effort it takes to achieve it. If you truly want an impact on the community, drop 10 million on a charity instead of paying Bazos for a ticket to get a title based on a technicality.
You act like I made up the title for myself. The FAA gave me a badge and several trained NASA astronauts who worked on my launch were responsible for calling me an "Astronaut". Yes I co-opted it, but that's far from the point. This was never about me wanting to feel special and be honored like the legacy astronauts who went through hell to get us to where we are now: where a random furry can fly to the edge of space. And I know people disagree with the dictionary definition of astronaut and many remember the outdated articles claiming that the "definition was changed", but I think that discussion is irrelevant and only used to put me down. And for what reason?
