I have four passive incomes, I guess ^^

I'm from Slovenia, Europe, so I don't know if there work outside of Europe, which is also why I'm proud of them, because it's actually quite hard to find investment platforms outside of USA!

Firstly, stocks, combination of growth and dividend with reinvesting dividend yields. Found a blue chip company that grows weed which was very funny to me, so I decided to buy some of the stock, by now it has grown my ~250%, which is pretty nice and even more funny because the stock is _high_

Secondly, crypto mining, I do this because I have access to _free_ electricity and internet, thus all profits are mine.

Thirdly, crypto earned from mining I transfer into BlockFi, which isn't insured in anyway, but it does work like a saving account where BTC has a yearly interest of ~6%, other crypto currencies have more and some have less, you can also set that the interest is paid in any other crypto currency.

Fourthly, one that I'm probably most proud of, Quanloop, they are a lending company but us _investors_ work kinda like a buffer for them so it's not directly us that are loaning the money. On Quanloop I have a yearly growth of ~15.6% with monthly payouts, they also pay you what you have lost due to inflation and what you had to pay for income tax. It's really amazing.

Here's my referral link:
bit.ly/InvestLove
If you deposit 0.01€ or more you'll get 5€ reward, but if you want to avoid that, you can just Google Quanloop and do it that way.

I don't work for Quanloop, I just really find them interesting.

Fifthly, while currently not active I do plan on putting money onto it and that's Iban Wallet, it's a saving account that pays out interest every day, which seems very interesting to me!
You need a columnar database for good performance. Try DuckDB to ease them into it, it's a columnar SQLite.
I think you get into practical problems at some point. WikiChip lists a 28nm Cortex-A7 core at 0.48mm², with every node shrink (20nm, 14nm, 10nm, 7nm, ...) you can halve that, but adding 64-bit support to a core might only add about 10%.

You can't make chips arbitrarily small, because you end up wasting more of your wafer for the area between the dies and for the wire bond pads. If the chip size stays the same but the CPU gets smaller, most of the chip is for off-core components and the CPU has less impact on the total cost and power consumption.

You could use more complex CPU cores, or simply more cores, for better performance, but then you also need a faster memory interface (wider buses, LD-DDR4+ instead of DDR3, ...) to make actually use of the performance. These lead to higher memory capacity as well, but then you can't actually use the available memory as you run into 32-bit addressing limits.

I wouldn't rule out shrinks of existing 32-bit SoC families to 22nm or below to lower cost once those processes get cheap enough and there is still demand for compatibility, but there is a good chance that 28nm SoCs is where 32-bit ends. (note that I'm not talking about the dozen or so additional ARC/Xtensa/RV32/Cortex-M/... microcontroller cores on high-end SoCs, as those are not the ones running Linux).
In the case anyone is curious about the origin of the (|>) pipeline symbol:

Although F# is its most well known early popularizer, it originated in Isabelle/ML, 1994, proposed by Tobias Nipkow.

Here is a blog post by Don Syme which embeds the email thread of its invention: https://web.archive.org/web/20190217164203/https://blogs.msd...

It's a fascinating look through time.

Of course, I should note this is the history for the pipe-forward operator for chaining (reverse) function application used in a programming language. The general concept is even earlier, as attested by the shell syntax for chaining anonymous pipes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)#History.

Metanote: I was surprised I was unable to find an answer to who invented the (|>) pipe syntax through google. I could only find this Elm thread https://elixirforum.com/t/which-language-first-introduced-th... which got close but did not have the answer. I am therefore writing this here to hopefully surface it for future searches and "question answering AIs".
Absolutely they do. And now I'm realizing that they build a Trello-like functionality too, Nextcloud Deck.

> The DNS-over-HTTPS model favors those who run the servers (because they get exclusive access to monetizable end user name resolution data)

Hold up. You are claiming that the fact that DoH prevents DNS requests from being visible in cleartext network traffic is a bad thing?

...what? In a world where the choice is between one party (the DNS provider) having access to my DNS requests and everyone on the network including my DNS provider having access to my DNS requests, I'll choose "DNS provider having exclusive access" every single time.
> If you suddenly changed int to be 64 instead of 32bits you'd have a similar problem for instance. I don't think anybody would expect such a change not to require a full recompile. So what's the difference here?

intmax_t is supposed to store any sized integer type. If you introduce a int128_t, it doesn't have any impact on 'int.' But it does mean that your intmax_t must be int128_t, and if it was 64-bit before, now your ABI changes (for intmax_t-using ABIs). Ordinarily introducing a new type or function wouldn't cause ABI incompatibility, but introducing a wider integer type that intmax_t cannot represent is not a valid choice.

I'd suggest considering ABIs with intmax_t in them unstable, and probably just avoiding use of intmax_t in ABIs entirely. Integer size-generic routines are best served with wrapper macros and use of the C11 _Generic() construction, or some of the typeof() magic used by, e.g., Linux.

You don't need to measure the carbon cost of everything. You tax carbon at the source, like power generation and oil drilling. The costs will naturally balance upwards.

The downtown parking lot, for example, probably doesn't have recurring carbon costs. The gasoline people use to drive there will be more expensive from the carbon tax on oil and gasoline production, and the cement or asphalt that takes electricity to produce will be covered by the source-charge on power plants.
> Do you have a viable alternative to property taxes for raising municipal revenues?

Income and/or sales tax.
I love this. I run (a little), but have never enjoyed it. I've never once experienced a "runner's high"--even when I ran 5-6x per week for years. I still do it a couple times a week because it's a quick way to get my heart beating, and I do feel better afterwards.

Walking is different. It's almost always pleasant, and the feeling I get after a good walk is similar to the one I get after a run (though I usually have to walk about twice as far as I would have run.) During the walk, I experience a calm, meditative peace that I really enjoy. I don't even need to have headphones on to enjoy walking!

If you find yourself in the position where you feel like you have to run to stay healthy, it might be worth mixing it up with walking. And if running is overwhelming, don't underestimate the benefits of a good walk. It's still the most underrated way to exercise.
> The algorithmic timeline is what has really ruined online discourse and promoted an explosion of insanity.

This is a really good point. I think it's important to point to this as the root of the problem, and realize that what's good for Facebook and Twitter isn't what's good for society.
I use Debian stable my primary desktop OS and for servers. I just stick to flathub, backports, install from vendor or build from source if needed/easily done. Works well enough for me, although I can see it may not be for everyone.
The argument against it is that a vacant property imposes very little cost upon society. It doesn't require fire protection, it doesnt add children to the education system, it doesn't use any municipal resources. If it's an eyesore or presents a hazard in some way, sure, but simply being vacant or "underutilized" doesn't do that. Why should it pay to simply exist?
I really don’t understand all the hate, also occasionally here.

Also I don’t understand why everyone is building with and hiring for react.

Its main selling point is that it is "just a library, not a framework" which I also find to be its biggest disadvantage. When I build an application and I choose SPA, I want a framework, not a loose collection of libs.

It’s a little like Django vs Flask. Sure Flask has less overhead but if I know what I am doing I can do 4 times as much with a framework like django in the same time, given that I know what it can do for me. Because I don’t spend time (more or less consciously) reinventing the wheel
You're focused on reading as a way of ingesting ideas and culture. The author focused most of his article on the process of reading, and its long term neurological and physiological effects on the reader. In other words, he's not so much saying that people don't know enough, it's that they've lost the ability to focus for long periods of time. It's an attention deficit argument, not an illiteracy argument.

(I think the article is poorly argued and doesn't support itself well; I also think it's probably observing something that is worth continued study)
Problems also arise from the fact that Hindus were a group of people not religion. Hindus now are people who identity religious with Hinduism

The word Hindu is derived (through Persian) from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, the historic local appellation for the Indus River in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent, which is first mentioned in the Rig Veda. - google

Excellent point. And was Hindu or Islamic mathematics not modern? Did it only "emerge" as modern mathematics when it arrived in europe?

I wish the article defined what their definition of "modern mathematics" is. It's primary focus is on the transfer of the Hindu-Arabic to Europe. What is it about the transfer of the numeral system to europe that made it "modern".

Also, wasn't "modern mathematics" officially formalized fairly recently? The early 20th century?
The article also suggests that COVID was maybe an inside job, and that it's unpatriotic to follow health restrictions. (Not in exactly those words, but it warns about "acquiescing" to government restrictions.)
Yeah, this, it really irks me how some people here keep parroting Apple's marketing without checking any facts/tests.

Their monitor is great for a consumer or prosumer monitor but just because it has PRO in the name doesn't mean it can dance in the ring with the actual PRO displays that are used to master million dollar motion pictures.
Yes, that is exactly what I tried to explain. You don't have to run in order to feel healthy. You can improve your wellbeing and focus by taking a quick walk.

The benefits of it are too immense to ignore.
It's not necessarily a book, but I can recommend "The Philosopher's Toolkit: How to Be the Most Rational Person in Any Room", by the Great Courses on Audible.

I decided to get it with a remaining Audible credit I had, and found it to be informative and easy to understand for someone without any previous experience in philosophy. It also comes with a 200-page PDF guidebook that includes the bulk of the content and follows along with the lectures. I think it's easier to digest then just reading through a traditional book as well.

The anonymous function change is probably a (small) mistake.

function(x) {x + 1}

is already logically equivalent to and from some perspectives an arguable syntax improvement on

\(x) x + 1

Giving everyone two ways of doing one thing just means the tutorials will be fragmented and beginners even more confused.

Tierney mentioned that tidyverse found function(x) too verbose and uses fomula syntax. Given how tidyverse often uses the "y ~ x" formula notation, this might actually be picking up deficiencies in R's macro system rather than in the function notation and the problem got misdagnosed.

I can't remember at the moment, either Harvard or John Hopkins was phasing out the ScD because it didn't have the "brand" recognition of the PhD and for years both degrees had exactly the same programs.
I mean, sure. But there seems to be this weird underlying idea that the world owes Islam a debt of gratitude for conquering the region where these texts existed and had been successfully transcribed and preserved under Christian rule for hundreds of years already, as if they swooped in at just the right moment to save them from being swallowed by the desert.
Sorry, they should sell. Truely cash-poor land-rich people are an insignificant class that's been held up as the boogieman for 100+ years.

You're not a "temporarily embarrassed billionaire", and if owning land one can no longer afford seems commonplace, it is entirely because the current real estate speculation scheme we prop up (CA especially).

Any realistic LVT would be phases in slowly, and give the prop 13 petit gentry plenty of time to sell and live a fine remainder of their life in a very fashionable condo.
Yes, as a philosophy major, I also agree that anything that is not 20th century philosophy is not really that helpful. It can be interesting academically, to trace the evolution of philosophy, but it won't really scratch that itch of engaging in the big questions.

The biggest value I got out of being a philosophy major was building reading concentration skills - being able to read dense passages takes a lot of commitment and practice, and that can build thinking skills. The internet teaches us to skim and do fast/shallow reading, which doesn't lead to deep thinking. Reading older philosophy is a great way of building those deep reading skills, even if the actual content of those texts is not applicable to modern life.

To the OP, if you see this, I would suggest looking into Experimental Philosophy. It's a branch of philosophy that focuses on using neuroscience to understand how we think about the world. Books like Thinking Fast and Slow may be much more interesting to you.
As far as I can tell, they're only good for one thing: reading comics, or articles. (although the form factor should be good for books, they generally fail for non-tablet related reasons: most ebooks contain DRM, and so you don't own them. This is less of a problem for articles or comics)

They're bad for everything else:

---

- Typing anything whatsoever

- Clicking links. (my thumb is not large, but is still much bigger than the target text I need to click much of the time)

- Being easy to hold: most of them are very smooth and slick, which means you can't prop them against anything, and have to constantly be holding them. Typing, while holding them is very uncomfortable, and all around worse than typing on a keyboard.

- Having physical buttons.

- Having a good and consistent UI. (I dislike having new gestures to learn and use every few versions)

- Staying upright while you try to watch video

- Not invading your privacy every moment of every day

- Receiving security updates after one year of ownership (or, if you own an Apple device, this can be swapped out for "being inexpensive or open")

- Loading the desktop version of sites

Generally speaking, they're worse at everything compared to a laptop, and are only slightly more portable.
Which jurisdiction to tax large companies in, even without doing the double Irish trick, is complicated. The question was talking about state income, and taxing all of Amazon's profits in Washington doesn't really make sense. Amazon also doesn't make that much money; its profit margin is 5%; Apple's is more like 21%.

It's also not like the money is never taxed. If Jeff Bezos wants to turn his AMZN shares into dollars, he'll federal capital gains on the appreciation. He pays nothing in Washington state because it has no income or capital gains tax, and that's Washington's choice. Corporate taxes are also a form of double taxation for this reason; the profits are taxed when the company makes the money, and taxed when investors realize gains.

Amazon also indirectly pays taxes in ways you're not thinking about. There's sales tax on sales, taxes on all the supplies it buys, property tax on all the land it owns, payroll tax for employees, and its employees also pay income tax (except in Washington), property tax, etc.

Taxes are actually getting collected pretty much everywhere along that chain. The usual criticism is with tax inversions, and even those mostly defer taxes, and because dividends and capital gains are taxed, I'm not convinced it makes sense to tax corporation.

So as I recall, you're right that she didn't encourage people explicitly, but she kept retweeting other supporters attacking LeCun, whereas LeCun kept telling his supporters to not attack her, and talked very positively of her. I agree my phrasing is muddying the waters, I should have been more precise.

On another note, it's interesting to me that I keep seeing the LeCun debate come up here again and again as an example of her being a bad-faith debater, given that it technically doesn't have anything to do with this Google debate.

Whether we agree with her on the substance, I feel like it strengthens my point that she badly damaged her perception amongst the ML/AI crowd, and their willingness to give her the benefit of the doubt in the way she chose to debate LeCun.

That’s not my point. And you didn’t answer my question. You spoke of commons as collective inheritance.

A serial breeder..say..someone who has a couple of children with different women more selfish than someone who has 1-2 children.

The commons will be saturated by the needs of genes of prolific breeders who use women’s bodies as vessels. Is that selfish? Since we are talking about selfishness and commons as a collective inheritance, define commons.

This only happens because our terrible land use is inflating the real estate market + terrible policy like prop 13.

In an LVT world, the value of land (overall-inflation-adjusted) should basically track the population, and virtually no one will own land they could no longer afford to buy.

That's...less clearly true in any meaningful sense. The public statements from all the other Google AI people about how the official narrative is inconsistent with general practice on publication review suggests very strongly that the management actions related to the paper were a pretextual component of a constructive termination campaign, and that even when it succeeded in generating something management could at least seize on as a “resignation” the result was insufficiently immediate requiring finding another pretext for immediate termination.
He also promised to deliver the operating system within an insane deadline. He did so by by purchasing 86-DOS [0] (also known as QDOS) for $50k ($148,931.42 today) and porting it over to IBM PCs.

He got business connections with IBM, he is a skilled negotiator, he got an expensive education paid by his parents, founded his own business with his parent's money (do you have a $150k allowance?) and knew intelligent but "poor" people who were even more skilled than him who he then could hire to actually do the important work.

In short, he was born a billionaire.

Thinking about it now, I'm not even sure you can have such a thing as an 'objective' overview of philosophy. Clearly nobody will be equally knowledgeable about let's say, the pre-socratics, the Cambridge Platonists and contemporary moral philosophers. On top of that, everybody has their own opinions, their likes and dislikes.

With this in mind, it's probably good to treat anything you read as something that has to be filtered through your own mind; always questioned and re-questioned, compared with the original sources and with competing interpretations and views.

At the end of the day we have to make our own mind, nothing should be taken as holy writ. This is the case for people with some philosophical experience, as well as for beginners.
