I would agree if this were some kind of public release announcement.

Would you say the same about an experimental programming language based on a bunch of recent PLT/CS research?

That's pretty much what this is, but for machine learning. It's not meant to be "for the public", it's effectively research.
You always have to prove things out on a small scale for it to work on a large scale. When I was in my early teen we had a summer program to plant vegetables. I do understand that it's not the same as large scale farming having grown up around farming but fundamentals are still similar.

Yeah having stationary structures doesn't make sense in large scale farming but AUV with the tech that is in Farmbots makes a whole lot of sense.

But I might be missing something. Also the farming I have experience is just in Iceland where things don't get that big. I've been around a lot of different tangential things to do with farming since my father side went from farming to construction. But I feel like a lot of the things are similar.

But what I know most about is software and I am mostly judging things based on that and I'm really impressed with Farmbot and the choices they made.
The article spends a long time building up the problem, but doesn't give the closed-form solution, which I find frustrating.

After trying to get a bit more involved with local politics, I've come to the conclusion that we have the politicians we deserve, unfortunately.

The only solution I can think of is very time consuming: start talking to lots of people, start thorough education of people about the consequences of our current course and the alternatives build coalitions, and build organic change.

When it comes to national level change, Californians are typically very progressive. But when it's local change, they are the most conservative and reactionary crew I have ever encountered. Which only locks in our current course of increasing wealth inequality, increasingly unaffordable housing, and increasing homelessness right next to excessive wealth.
Exactly, see my example elsethread. Also in C and derivatives distinct objects are guaranteed to have distinct addresses. Implicit sharing would break this.
You sound like you're describing a Walmart or Target. I thought we were talking about local small businesses. All the niche small businesses around me, the store owner is often the one who takes the call and they know their inventory inside and out
I'd imagine in this case it's more a matter of liquidity.

It's one thing to say you have a million dollars to your name. The difference is that one person has to sell everything they own to command that value while someone else just calls their broker to have it liquidated from their rainy day fund.
> Unless you are making more than $400,000, the new tax proposals would not affect you.

Someone making over $400k might want to invest some of that money. The businesses in which that person would have invested would hire people. And pay wages. And taxes. If you take more of the “rich” money. They won’t invest as much. And thus won’t create value. Giving that money to the government doesn’t create value — or if it does, there is still the issue of deadweight loss. The private sector always spends more efficiently than government.

Every rich person I know doesn’t put their money under the mattress; they invest it in something.

As far as tax changes that affect me: well the very high rates of California taxation led me to moving my residence and business to Texas. When I lived overseas, the Biden-supported, Obama-signed FACTA legislation (which was ultimately a tax law) had a very significant impact. I couldn’t open business bank accounts in the UK which led me to not being able to expand my (then) consulting business because our potential client required a UK company and that company needed a UK bank account in order to get anything done. Since I wasn’t a UK resident, it made it even harder. I am not super rich so Barclays and friends weren’t going to go through all the FATCA hoops just for my £100k per year in turnover.

And in terms of tax changes that helped? The Trump tax cuts resulted in a significant amount of savings that led to buying an airplane and significant production equipment, for example, being able to deduct a significant amount on an aircraft purchase — an aircraft that we wouldn’t have been able to afford without the change in the tax laws. That aircraft enabled my business to expand into smaller markets, which benefited those smaller markets in which we entered (they could get our product cheaper and resell it at a greater profit.) We could also target smaller towns that would have otherwise required flying commercial and then driving all day — then there was the issue of moving cargo quickly. Also the tax savings on equipment purchases allowed us to not have to pay copackers and instead set up our own bottling facility. Which lowered our cost per unit, allowing us to lower our wholesale prices, which led to our customers being able to make a larger profit. (Our business is making specialized fitness cleaning products and our customers are small boutiques and fitness studios.)

It’s very short sighted to see taxes that are paid only by “someone else.” If you run any sort of business at all, the effects of tax policy can be immediately evident. The typical wage worker doesn’t see it because they limit themselves to their immediate viewpoint: they fail to see the chain of transactions that lead to them having a job in the first place. An employed person has more economic impact than an unemployed person. That’s just a fact.

So yes, tax policy is felt by everyone, even those that don’t pay taxes.

Yeah, I've had Levi's in front of me where nominally "smaller" sizes of the exact same jeans were visibly bigger. For the life of me I don't understand why measuring jeans to better than an inch is so hard in the 21st century. How is there no incentive for them to fix this? Do they profit from giving people the wrong size?
Sorry for my ignorance, but surely some UB being used for optimization by the compiler is compile time only. This is the part that should default on. Runtime detection is a different thing entirely, but compile time is a no brainer.

If he was, he would be against exclusives, but he pays handsomely for those.
Copyright was done primarily to make money for distributors with the secondary effect being that they can then afford to pay the creators. The copyright compromise was that we would give up our right to copy in order to enable copies, that cost money to make and move, to be available. Take away the cost of copying and distributing and the primary reason for copyright disappears.

That leaves the secondary function of encouraging creation. But turns out creation is not 'original' as people thought and having others works freely available encourages new works much more than promises of monetary gains.

I think it's hard because usually it's done in the spot. No time to breakdown the problem, think about each step required, etc.
Well, no. The callee would just have to make a copy in cases where the memory might change.

The compiler would have to produce a copy in the case of this function:

void foo1(struct large l) {
bar();
baz(l.x + l.y);
}

Because the call to `bar()` might change the caller's copy, so the callee `foo1` has to make a local copy before calling `bar()`.

But it would not have to produce a copy in this example:

void foo2(struct large l) {
baz(l.x + l.y);
}

Because nothing can change the caller's copy before the callee `foo2` is done using it.

I did this recently too. You might want to review the language changes from C++11 and C++17.

You could try writing a raytracer, or physics sim, or small tools that would have been difficult/annoying previously (like dealing with JSON). You could revisit writing win32 apps. The WebView2 lib (which is Edge) is self contained-ish and interesting to learn with (lots of async).
Yes and I'm straight up not buying that argument because it being improbable that the bullet cluster might arise doesn't explain why it did: remove particle dark matter and now you're left with gravitational effects floating around in space totally divorced from the shape and location of regular matter which should be producing them.
I find it good to remember that genes are like re-used variables that do 100s of things in a giant 1mil lines of code file.

Just cuz they identified one gene doesn't mean that it doesn't require other activations as well. Or that expressing that one gene will have that much of an effect.

So sure, you could have an idea of the upper limit but definitely not the whole story.

Circulating levels of GH/Insulin/IGF and other hormone like chemicals also play a huge factor in longevity as well.

Are there any little devices that you'd like to make or tinker with? C/C++ is still big in the embedded space and that's the first use case that comes to mind for me.

I definitely empathize with your post since I haven't done any C++ in 10 years and I'd like to get back into it. The last job I had using it wasn't on C++11 yet and it seems like there's been a whirlwind of progress since then.
The compiler knows that there is a mutable pointer to x floating around as soon as you did `P=&x`. Therefore it knows it needs to make a new copy of x and then pass an immutable pointer to that value when calling `bar`.

This is something the compiler already keeps track of anyway in order to be able to know if it needs to re-load variables from memory when they are used again after a function call.

Basically the optimsiation degrades to exactly what happened before in the case where you do this.

"Unless you are making more than $400,000, the new tax proposals would not affect you."

That's not true. If your combined income with your spose is more than 400k the tax increase will affect you. so it will affect individuals making as little as 200k if you assume income is divided equally between two spouses.

Inflation is mostly a monetary phenomenon. They'd limit creation of new money so it very rarely happens, and then we get deflation.

Of course they'd end up printing money via some L2/L3 and we get the same deal. If we actually followed through, we'd get permanent deflation which is an obvious disaster even without accepting the Keynesian arguments against it (I find that part of Keynesian thinking to be mostly false).
This is a bizarre take. The average American is more likely to live in the equivalent of Flyover, Kansas than Sunnyvale, California. I've lived in both, more the former than the latter. I'm sure the person living in Sunnyvale would love to pay $55k for a nice brick two-story house (current price for one I grew up in) but that doesn't seem to be an option in Sunnyvale.

Tell that hypothetical average American to buy a mediocre house in Sunnyvale and see what reaction you get.

Nobody cares what lifestyle $400k can buy in Mississippi because very few people are making that much in a locale that cheap.

Otherwise known as "the people who employ and invest".

In the same way corporate taxes trickle down to the consumer (otherwise known as "everybody else"), the same is true of taxes on wealthy incomes.

And even our discussion over who pays taxes and how much they pay is moot since the problem is actually spending. The best thing that could happen is that everyone has a real tax burden and everyone pays it directly (not via payroll deduction). Because then more people might be interested in how their taxes are being spent.

Well, no, that's just one of the situations where the compiler would have to make a copy in the callee; a write to a pointer which might alias the argument.
Wealth taxes are the real answer here, and for that reason they are unlikely to happen in the anglosphere unless there is some major political shift. In fact the United States does the opposite of a wealth tax, by taxing capital gains at a lower rate than regular income. Because the ruling class gets essentially all of their income from capital gains, they don't actually care about the tax rate on regular income. They can support progressive income taxes as a form of left-wing posturing, or as a way to pit high- and low-income workers against each other, knowing that the taxes won't hurt them. Raising the capital gains tax rate (even just to match the regular income tax rate) is never seriously discussed, and any suggestion of a wealth tax is completely out of the question.
So the caller might have to copy if the the pointer escapes and the callee might have to copy if it needs to mutate the value. In practice in many cases you might end up with more copies than the "bad" ABI.

it's a bell curve, taxes too low and govt doesn't make enough, taxes too high and people are disincentivized to pay taxes, invest, start businesses, etc.

> won't really make that much of a difference

is that you hunch or you have data? I remember seeing the bell curve in an undergrad business class.

I'd imagine a 20% vs 45% tax will absolutely have different outcomes.

If someone is already dodging taxes then they will probably continue but the next generation of millionaires should never start.

Besides his age, the main reason for this story is probably the fact that he is a homeless teenager and that it is very rare that kids with such a background excel. He cannot be the only one who is obviously highly gifted, it is a tragedy that these children are deprived by the system to be sufficiently empowered and thus sustainably break the cycle of poverty.

This, and the fact that california is planning to eliminate or drastically reduce the gifted education program in calculus in the name of equity!, which essentially will deprive especially gifted poor kids of even the slightest chance to get noticed, makes me sad and incredibly angry at the same time.
Copy elision is very different as it to only ever avoid copying objects that are just about to be destroyed.
it's only the US (AFAIK) that pays developers so highly, and even then it's primarily in cities and companies amenable to venture capital. It's not about how valued the career is, it's about how profitable it is - and when you can take 10s or 100s of millions in investment to build a software platform using a couple dozen devs, it becomes pretty clear why they're paid so high in those areas.

I value the service of my local council's binmen more than most developers' output (including my own). Doesn't mean they get paid the big bucks.
I can see the argument here that if there are other app stores, some apps that these users would want would then be exclusive to these app stores, much like Epic does on PC, so they may be forced into using them anyway.
I see multiple people in this thread talking about high taxes without knowing how tax brackets actually work in reality. I wish people understood them. It's very easy to senationalize high taxes.

I'll make up some numbers to make it simple. Let's say there's 2 brackets. Everyone who makes under $399,999.99 pays 0% tax. And everyone who makes over $400k pays 90% tax. You make $400k. How much do you owe the taxman? Did you know it's only 90 pennies out of $400k? The first $399,999.99 you make is in the 0% bracket. It will always be taxed at that rate. Only the amount over that ($1) will be taxed in the next bracket.

Now in reality, we have 7 tax brackets. This is how much you really pay, assuming filing single for 2020.

$9875 of $400k @ 10%

$30,250 of $400k @ 12%

$45,399 of $400k @ 22%

$77,775 of $400k @ 24%

$44,049 of $400k @ 32%

$192,649 of $400k @ 35%

You wouldn't even make enough to pay anything into the 7th bracket @ 37%.

Personally, I believe yes, we need to raise taxes on the uber rich just to slow their growth. NO, it will not affect you who make $400k (which is already wealthy compared to most of America!) And add more brackets while we're at it. There was a time in America where the uber rich had a 94% tax bracket. I'm not saying we need to go that high. But 37% and too many deductions is a joke.
So far, I suspect such genetic analysis has too much uncertainty to use as individual guidance.

It's an Americanism referring to their "top brass" which for whatever reason means their military leadership. Read as "Apple leadership".
That's because "tax the rich" usually begins and ends with income taxes. More creativity, such as a financial transaction tax, increased capital gains taxes, or a wealth tax paired with capital controls, would let us capture more from the big boys and less from the high earning engineer/small business owner.
Another Texan here.. yes, we're #1 for wind and I think #2 for solar so obviously we blow up their assertions here.

My only theory is that we have a strong backstop of natural gas that serves as the foundation which we can (usually) fall back on. If California is working to go wholly renewables without having a fossil fuel-based Plan B, then they're starting with different design constraints and would likely have a different result.

If that is the case, it would make for a much more convincing article and "not only renewables" is a more interesting discussion.

As someone with direct experience in this whole class of hardware (hobbyist grade UAS stuff), you're going to want to have a soldering setup and low cost consumables (heat shrink tubing, etc, extra connectors that cost a few dollars each) to have your own capability to do things like change out DC power connectors. It's totally normal to get a battery with a connector that you might not want.

If you stay in the hobby for the long run it will cost you a lot less money to have the capability to buy discrete parts and repair things yourself (example: buying a new $40 4-in-1 ESC) than buying bind and fly stuff.
