It’s better to think of working, middle, and upper class in terms of how much of their income derives from labour vs capital.

Working class = majority of income from working.

Upper class = majority of income from owning capital, i.e. can afford not to work at all.

Middle = somewhat evenly split.

Traditionally working class was associated with “lower” jobs such as labourers, and those working cushy office jobs usually earnt a high enough income to accumulate enough capital to become middle or upper class.

This is more aligned with the British definition, where their “middle class” is more equivalent to the US “upper middle class.” Make no mistake though, with many jobs not paying enough to accumulate capital, professionals such as teachers, accountants, and nurses would firmly be considered working class, because they you know, need to work.

Skip the proprietary ninite and just use a proper package manager, like chocolatey, scoop, or winget.

Ninite relies on a private company to add popularly requested programs, and has an extremely small, often outdated repository of packages.

If you must have a GUI, chocolatey has that as well.

And in true macOS fashion it only works if you stay within the Apple ecosystem.

Applications and sleep are intimately tied to native macOS workspaces, which are themselves cursed af.

If you use an alternative manager, like Aerospace (which reimplemented workspace/tiling), then applications cannot sleep properly, leading to severe battery drain.

Unfortunately I find even prompts like this insufficient for accuracy, because even when directly you directly ask them for information directly supported by sources, they are still prone to hallucination. The use of super blunt language as a result of the prompt may even further lull you into a false sense of security.

Instead, I always ask the LLM to provide a confidence score appended to all responses. Something like

For all responses, append a confidence score in percentages to denote the accuracy of the information, e.g. (CS: 80%). It is OK to be uncertain, but only if this is due to lack of and/or conflicting sources. It is UNACCEPTABLE to provide responses that are incorrect, or do not convey the uncertainty of the response.

Even then, due to how LLM training works, the LLM is still prone to just hallucinating the CS score. Still, it is a bit better than nothing.

Renaissance Technologies is arguably the world’s best hedge fund, and supposedly only uses AI based strategies.

High Flyer are the founders of DeepSeek, and are also all in on AI, though their performance is more volatile.

No, because Zelda has unironically one of the worst examples of button layouts due to them being different to other games for seemingly no reason.

Why is sprint the bottom face button instead of right trigger? Why is the top face button jump?

Even basic things like running and jumping are so difficult and unintuitive. So many actions are all tied to the badly placed jump button with no prompts given, like shield surfing and triggering flurry rushes.

Not an unfounded concern if you remember the PS3. The original model was sold at a loss, and also able to run Linux.

People were buying them like crazy for non gaming uses, including building super computer clusters. An entire aftermarket of various small vendors essentially flipping PS3s with various Linux distros flourished, including offering the usual suite of tech support services that Sony didn’t. There was even a black market for the gutted bluray drives, which were expensive, but useless in clusters.

Also not as disparate as memes would have you believe, depending on how you look at it.

The Tokyo Metro Area is very dense at 38 million / 13,000km2, compared to the London Metro Area’s 15 million / 9000km2. But the density of Tokyo rapidly decreases as you go further out, even with the Metro Area.

Even agglomerating up to the entire Kanto Region only gets around 42 million / 32,000km2. London + East + South East Regions gets you 31 million / 50,000km2.

I don’t think comparing comparing Regions is very useful, but this only yields that Kanto is approximately twice as dense as London + surroundings. National level figures have Japan at 330/km2, Vs UK’s 285/km2.

A much more suitable comparison would be the central areas of Tokyo and London, which are the 9 special wards in/around the Yamanote Loop and Inner London (roughly zone 2). This is around 2.2mil / 140km2 or around 15,000/km2 for Tokyo Vs 3.4mil / 320km2 or around 11,000/km2 for London. Again, not nearly the massive discrepancy suggested by memes.

Apologies if my tone is pointed - having lived and commuted in both cities the way the internet thinks of Japan really bothers me. I do think Tokyo is worse for crowdedness, but honestly not by much, especially when London tube lines can be so long they go outside the station.

If you repeat the exercise and focus only on central areas, you will find that most major cities actually have very similar densities.

That’s entire fucking Kanto Region (32,000km2), which is even larger than the Kanto basin (17,000km2), not the Greater Tokyo Area (13,500km2).

Most of the Greater Tokyo Area is farmland already. The Kanto Region is a further agglomeration of seven prefectures.

A better comparison with the UK would be Greater Tokyo Area (13,5000km2) Vs London Metropolitan Area (9000km2, mostly limited by its greenbelt).

If you insist on comparing Regions, then the Kanto Region should be compared with London + East of England + South East, for a total of around 50,000km2 (UK keeps London as it’s own region).
