The docs[1] do say that the last of a particular type wins, though as I say in [2] it's not clear to me whether that's actually desirable, or if it's essentially an implementation detail (process the arguments in order and mutate the object) that got blessed because it's easier that way. I'd love to hear arguments for last-write-wins over immutable assignment.

It seems you can't implement custom interfaces on the core data types[3], so a do-nothing interface isn't an option to emulate sum types and enforce type-safety (E switches on string to set the error message). At least the code[4] gives you a run-time error instead of silently ignoring unsupported types.

The lesson from history is that not many people learn from history. History repeats.

Other points:

- All countries including USA are significantly socialist. They just vary to the degree to which it is socialist.

- Socialism statistically appeals to a low IQ/juvenile/female/low intellect/low earning individuals. Trying to reason with them is futile. A truly capitalist system can potentially have within it, _voluntary_ sub-socialist systems. Every staunch socialist fails to recognize this because of his low IQ .

- The primary way out for people of capitalism leaning for there betterment is to band together with other capitalists to help one another. Activities like spreading awareness, education etc. have marginal effect on people of socialist leanings.

#TabsToolbar { /* tab bar */ -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important; }

I also prefer the old style menus so I re-enabled them with View->Toolbars->Menu Bar.

Another quick tip: those big ugly spaces between the buttons and the address bar can be removed with a simple right click->remove on the empty space.

This sentiment is similar to things I hear all of the time working in health care / biotech. The fact is you have no domain knowledge and not a clue as to how things work in the real world. If your company just ignores the way things are done and the requirements of the domain you're simply going to go out of business.

When the stakes are high (e.g. death/harm, massive financial losses, etc.) the business process changes accordingly.
That's an excellent idea. My bank(s) have a so-called Savings Account (separate from the main Checking Account) that yields a microscopic amount of interest, which I never use since I 'save' money elsewhere. That might be a great use case for what you describe.

Improve performance by lazyloading images with lazysizes
Please forgive my use of anecdata, but I agree with your position.

A few years ago I lost some skin on an elbow just by resting it (i.e., rubbing it repeatedly)on a table too much while I worked at my computer. My skin was dry and I wasn't wearing long sleeves, which probably exacerbated the problem. I don't think my dermis was ever punctured, but I lost a bit of epidermis.

I ended up with an infection working its way up my arm, and it required level-two antibiotics to stop it.

This all happened just with normal indoor living. It's not like I waded through untreated sewage.

I'm a lot more careful now. 99% of the time applying a topical antibiotic and a bandaid is overkill. But the 1% make it a worthwhile policy.
As far as I can tell, the traditional American litanies about capitalism and communism pretty much require accepting that every bad thing that happens under socialism and communism is because of lack of capitalism, while every bad thing that happens under capitalism is in spite of capitalism. In other words, it's the classic "X can't fail, it can only be failed" pattern of thought. I think that's a hard sell if you didn't grow up with a lot of propaganda about how being American means being capitalist and being socialist or communist means being anti-American. It's an even a harder sell looking at post-Soviet Russia and seeing political repression and corruption that appears to be no better at a fundamental level, rather than being less severe due to being less systematic.

So it falls to more general arguments evaluated in light of our current context, which is inherently messy because we don't have the answer sheet yet.

> Have you ever heard of induced demand?

That is not what happens. The effect they're measuring is that a road gets congested, the congestion suppresses the natural demand, and if you expand the road to reduce the congestion then more of the natural demand comes back and there is still more congestion than you expected.

But the same applies to any of the alternatives. If you build more housing in the metro area then there are less cars, which reduces congestion some, but not very much because as soon as there is less congestion for any reason, more people drive.

The only way to eliminate the congestion is to satisfy the entire demand. You can do that by expanding the roads, you can do that by making it less expensive to actually live in the city, but it's often more effective to do both.

A much worse choice is to suppress the natural demand with tolls, which will certainly reduce congestion, but will also screw up your city even worse because people are severely punished for living in the suburbs even though there still isn't enough urban housing. So urban housing prices go up, commuting costs go up, and everyone in the city becomes poorer (except the landlords and toll companies).

Is it? The US monetary base has more than tripled since 2008 but inflation since then is only 14.6%.

That's not a symptom of a problem - the time delta of settlement with you has no relation with the time delta of them balancing their position. It's just as big bank forex deals work; if a customer of a big bank sells $100m euros for dollars in their bank, the bank (most banks who don't want to play market maker) will often get a matching deal within minutes, but the deal can often be actually settled on the next business day or the day after that.

I still haven't found an solution anywhere for the following problem: Living (not just housing, but everything) expenses are a lot less for dual, or even triple, income households than for single people. So there's going to be a lot less pressure on dual income households to work beyond their basic income. Logically, this would put double (or even triple) the additional pressure on single income households. Under UBI, they'd have to provide enough in taxes to provide the UBI for themselves AND dual income households.

How do UBI proponents solve that problem?
This is true, yes. But really both have issues. It takes much longer in the sun for a dark skinned person to get enough exposure to produce a healthy amount of D. But the fair skinned person burns readily, so they can't stay in the sun long without protection which would inhibit getting enough sun.

> Now that Go and Chess are efficiently solved for AI...what's next?

I'd like to see an AI that can learn things related to what it already knows with very little training, like humans can do.

Take chess. There's a chess variant that is popular between rounds at tournaments, called "bughouse". It's played by two teams of two, using two chess sets and two clocks. One member of the team plays white on one of the boards, and the other plays black on the other board.

For the most part, the game on each board follows the normal rules of chess. Whichever individual game ends first determines the outcome of the combined game. The teammates may talk to each other and collaborate during the game.

The big difference between the game on each board and a regular game of chess is that on your turn you can, instead of making a move on the board, pick up any piece that your partner has captured, and drop it anywhere on your board (with some restrictions, such as pawn cannot be dropped on the first or eight rank).

If you take a human who has learned to play chess to a certain level, and who has never played (or even heard of) bughouse, and explain the rules to them and then have them start playing it only takes them a little while to get about as good as they are at normal chess.

The human quickly figures out what chess knowledge transfers directly to bughouse, which needs tweaking, and which needs to be thrown out. As far as I know, current AI cannot do that--to it bughouse is a completely new game.

It's interesting to consider what it means when the AI can succeed without using brute force.

Suppose at every turn there are n possible future states of the game based on the rules. To avoid "brute force" the AI must be able to ignore many of those states as irrelevant. In effect, the AI is learning what to pay attention to, not just considering what might happen, thereby conserving computational resources.

Chess and Go are interesting for two nearly opposite reasons: 1) because they are too large for humans to consider the reasoning obvious, and 2) because the input to the reasoning is simply a small (and easily perceived by humans) grid of rule-constrained pieces.

But when you think of AI in an information theoretic way, so that given representative training data the system (if large enough) will always "learn" perfectly, it's not really all that remarkable. It's just a different computational way of doing the same transformation from input states to moves. Given a problem (chess, go, etc.) the researchers must simply learn what network structure and training regimen will do the job with the least computational cost.

To see why this is relevant, consider a deep learning model that could continually generate successive digits of pi (or primes) without having the concept baked in already. Would the result be computationally cheaper than highly optimized brute force algorithm? No, because what it would "learn" would be something already known by humans. Perfect chess is simply a function from input states to moves that humans do not already know the definition of. Most humans do know the definition of this function for the game of tic tac toe by the time they reach middle school.

I'd argue that while this is useful it's ultimately not hard. Comparing it with Stockfish mainly demonstrates how chess is hard for humans to reason about and hence hard for humans to write non-brute-force algorithms to solve.

Thus, I think this is an example of "weak AI" even though humans associate chess with high degrees of exceptional human cognition. Chess data contains no noise, so the algorithm is dealing only with signals of varying degrees of utility.

I'm looking forward to AI that can be useful in the midst of lots of noise, such as AI that analyzes peoples' body language to predict interesting things about them, analyzes speech in real time for deception, roulette wheels for biases, and office environments for emotional toxicity.

Chess is interesting because we can't introspect to understand what makes humans good at chess (other than practice). So many human insights and intuitions are similarly opaque yet the data is noisy enough that it will take significantly better AI to be able to do anything that truly seems super-human.
