But that new corpus of people is significantly less effective than the current US Army. The ”interesting” question is: is there a timeframe where the institution is both sufficiently corrupt and competent at the same time

Ich hätte überhaupt kein Problem, wenn das ohne selbst Hausarbeiten eingetippt zu haben ginge. Es ist doch sowieso so, dass die Arbeiten nur zu Bruchteilen gelesen werden

Ohne Ihnen zu nahe treten zu wollen.. Sind Sie sich sicher, dass es Teil Ihrer Aufgabe sein sollte, dass Studierende schreiben? Ich würde lieber in einer Welt leben, wo Ihre Aufgabe ist Denkweisen und die Erarbeitung von Konzeptverständnissen zu lehren.

Und b) die Wünsche ind Zwänge ihrer Studierenden ernst nehmen und auch mal zu fragen: “Bist du richtig hier?” und zu akzeptieren, dass es legitime Gründe gibt zu sagen “Nö bin ich nicht”

Es wäre viel geholfen, wenn die Fakultäten das (berechtigte) Selbstvertrauen hätten, dass sie a) Ihren Studierenden etwas beibringen können, was mehr ist als das was Chatty und Co gerade abliefern.

Wenn Ihr Problem ist, dass Studierende nicht lernen wollen, dann haben Sie ein viel größeres Problem. Wenn Sie Studierenden nicht klar machen können, was die davon haben diese Übung selbst zu machen. Dann haben Sie ein viel größeres Problem.

Ich gebe Ihnen sogar das Ziel: Studierende sollte schreiben können. Aber doch bitte in der realen Welt. In der existiert KI. In der existieren LLMs. In der existieren “improve this text”-Buttons. Wie zum Teufel soll da ein sanitarisierter PC-Pool Test helfen?

Out if curiosity (as a past for-free copy-editor): have you tried running it through an LLM? And if so, what does it do to your writing style?

The nice thing about air con is: It requires energy always then when there is a lot of solar around. Air con doesn't require a lot of storage and it also doesn't require a lot of square footage. It's one of the reasons why solar uptake is so rapid in equatorial regions

The big car batteries are currently at around 100-150 kWh. With most having 75 or so. Current prices are 110$/kWh. Even the largest batteries will only come to 15k$. Today. Not in 10 years. And those batteries were 50k$ 5ish years ago. So you can bet on 15k$ being the floor. I wouldn't though

How long until the effectiveness of the system dissipates? There has to be an amount of momentum in the system. But I have no idea whether that would last 5 years or 5 generations (or any other timeframe)

Out if curiosity: How would you comment on applying that framing to NATO? Isn’t “NATO is an expression of the US sphere of influence” also correct?

Doesn't solve the hard problems of: Heat removal (you cannot let it build up, since ~100C starts melting the chips), latency/bandwidth (getting better and not critical for every datacenter) and building costs (the chips and power supply are expensive, not the building).
So.. yeah, wouldn't bet on it

And getting space datacenters kind of requires them to be cheaper to produce than domestic ones (we are power limited, not space limited), I think you'd be okay with just diminishing compute capacity. The admin is completely remote anyways.

That is - ironically - one of the smaller problems. Failures follow a bathtub and as long as you are doing the burin in on the ground, the failure rate is going to be slow. The constant replacement is only necessary because the capacity is so valuable

But the whole West was fundamentally not serious enough to grapple with that decision. And that lack of seriousness made it extremely hard to find commited locals that didn’t grapple with “but what happens after?”

And I think that should have been a discussion. We never had a realistic endgame in the GWOT. It could have been a (reasonably justified) punishment expedition or it could have been an attempt to “integrate by force”.

The problem with that came in two components. The first one was that we started out with “we’ll be out soon”. Which makes the choice for “our” locals that much harder. And the second one is that we didn’t have the stomach to face the question “isn’t this cultural erasure?”

If we take a step back then the argument of “build schools” boils down to “reeducate the next generation“ with the implication of “protect them until they are solidly in power and then slowly withdraw”. This is essentially what the western allies did to (West) Germany. And there it worked

Which is still much, much cheaper than the operation to "kill" the boat. Even if you get the ammunition for less (which I doubt), the flight hours of the observation platform and the launch platform are similar expensive

That's not enough though. Just ceding power, i.e. promising not to use it anymore, isn't enough. The vacuum will get filled. So it really needs to be congress that takes the powers back. And that will require an institutional way of thinking that currently does not seem to exist

The really interesting part was the way they take the support from their allies as a constant. Zero thoughts expended at that a shift in American posture will cause shifts in everyone else’s strategic outlook
