I would argue that bad behavior (“bad” = existing more to get ad revenue than to deliver valuable information to users) made this a viable business model for Google. I don’t love snippets, and sometimes they’re hilariously wrong, but I’d rather get wrong info from a snippet vs having a site waste my time and beg me to sign up, blocking the info from view, forcing me to “open in app”, only to find that it was bad info anyway…

Do companies exist to make things that are valuable for users, or do users exist to make money for companies?

The supplement industry has some problems. But it also has a few things going for it. It's far cheaper, and the only people that have been harmed from it made a choice to take that risk.

I don't know anyone personally who's life has been screwed up by supplements. But I do know two people personally whose lives were wrecked for years because of FDA regulations.

Not to mention the absurdity that was restricting the j&j and AZ vaccines.
Phalanx usually has about 1500 rounds ready, so 20 drones at 75 rounds each will run it out. Phalanx is large, heavy, and costly, and can't be readily be used in built up areas at low angles.

A few dozen m/s is probably a good estimate for quadcopter style drones, but low hundreds m/s should be easy for fixed wing drones, so at 200 meter engagement range (that paper makes it pretty clear that maneuvering targets are hard beyond that) there is only time to hit a few drones before they arrive.

So maybe drone swarms will work even against current CIWS.

And I got this bit of Wisdom:

As-Salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu The world is a single mirror. The whole universe becomes all a single mirror if you observe it with your whole heart, as it really is and nobody else's imagination and interpretation of it. Your spiritual sight will at one time reveal the depth of reality, other times it will reveal a false picture which is reflected by all kind of greed, vanity, falsehood, lust etc. The only way to cross this mirror is by an open heart, and it needs to be constantly cleansed of all these sins. It also needs to be cleansed of all the deceitfulness of this world, which is nothing but a spiritual mirror reflecting your own false vision of your imagination. This all depends on one's intention of which Allah is aware and He always warns the soul in its creation. Those who love Allah and His messengers, and who are guided by the Qur'an are aware of this and they never praise anyone or blame anyone for anything, no matter how great or small. They are always aware and watchful and vigilant in their intents. Those who are only biased by their biased knowledge will never do it and they are very few, as everybody has biased knowledge about
Ah, TikTok's algorithm brought me this one the other day as I was falling asleep swiping between kitten, having warm and fuzzy feelings. I recall having my sleepiness instantly evaporating.

There's something fascinating about how the brain can instantly switch on to full attention when intrigued. The way that the videos are composed completely dismantles the reality as nothing acts as the way you expect it should act, you can even feel in your body as your brain tries to adjust in this new reality. It's like seen a slo-mo for the first time, again.

The video that I was presented is the one at 0:53 on this one. The continuous motion of his hand with the clock captures your sense of progress over time as it is the only thing that works as expected. That itself is cool but as he moves his hand beyond the point of re-assembly of the broken bottle, the bottle breaks in a different way and this conflicts with your intuition on the way the world works even if you are slo-mo junkie that is used to see things decomposing in million pieces and re-composing to full shape...

As his hand passes the point zero, it feels like the bottle breaks again because he moved the time too much and this leads to feel the time as a rigid physical object due to the way the bottle breaks.
You can buy mile long sheets of E Ink material today. I think it is only a couple of dollars per meter. But then you'll need to laminate a backplane of some form so your printer can print to it. Various barrier layers so that it will last longer than a few minutes in air. It gets tricky real fast.

I get the feeling that now that it's so easy to generate text that sounds legit and is syntactically correct but makes no sense semantically, web search will be unusable soon.

Searching for answers to an obscure problem with a software library now already leads to 5 Stack Overflow ripoff sites that at least contain the same text like the original. If these scammers can now generate their own texts (randomly including all possible keywords I might use to narrow my search), we will drown in useless information.

And this isn't restricted to programming, this was just an example of a field that is full of scam already. When it gets cheap enough, somebody will do this with any topic that people are interested in...

I wonder how Google and other search engines will tackle this problem.
If you post a link, it'd be interesting to have a look
That's an accurate summary of the arc of progress in this area. Also explains why so many folks are now turning to operators (versioned procedural code that runs in k8s and does arbitrary things, rather than arbitrary versioned yaml artifacts applied to k8s) to do advanced stuff rather than layering on more templating duct tape.

It was maddening because it's ~12 year old code that had some library updates. A little bit more help like the error code or really *anything* would've been helpful.

I continue to miss what all the fuss is about on the ProPublica piece, both in the sense that (as this article points out) it’s not, in broad strokes, surprising, and in the sense that it’s very far from journalistic malfeasance.

This author argues that ProPublica “misunderstand” the difference between taxing unrealized gains and taxing income. I’ve seen this same argument on HN comments, as though knowing what a 1040-B is somehow makes one a tax policy expert.

Of course, there are countries that tax wealth directly, so “taxes paid as a percentage of wealth” is certainly a valid metric! And if the public are concerned about tax policy disparities between the ultra rich and the rest, it’s the only metric to look at[1]; as everyone knows, the ultra rich tend to earn their wealth primarily as capital gains, so a metric like “effective tax rate on earned income” would simply not be very informative across social classes.

I’m really surprised that this argument has taken off; it feel almost like some sort of astroturfing campaign. There’s no reason we shouldn’t talk about effective tax rates on wealth, even though this isn’t how the US tax code works; indeed, that’s really the point of the article.

1. As someone else noted, looking at returns on capital vs labor after taxes and transfers over time is a better approach to understanding trend, but as a snapshot view, I think this is quite reasonable and easier for readers to grasp.
yeah in a way its kinda the anti-tool
> If you don’t believe, go look at the cover of drudge right now, where he’s using it to go after his favorite target, Elon musk. (making a claim that even the pro Publico article doesn’t make).

These results are terrible. Almost all of the generated text posted here is non-sensical, and playing with it online is just confusing.

There really needs to be a better method of evaluation, an MNIST for transformer text generation. like a list of pre-defined prompts that every GPT-X has to use to generate text, which can be scored against a list of "correct" answers in a variety of ways.

I have no way of knowing if the output of this flavor of transformer is good or not, whatever that would mean. Very difficult to see how it compares to similar models. Setting up a model with this number of parameters and their reported training times is impressive. But I have no idea if this particular number of parameters makes a difference, or what that difference is supposed to look like

> Kubernetes manifests are the verbose "assembly language" layer, so you still need something for humans that is DRYer.

It's a little more than that. Out-of-the-box manifests for primitives are certainly assembly-like, you're right--but CRDs allow you to operate at a higher level of abstraction while staying in the same syntax, which is powerful and unique to k8s (everything else, from Helm to Terraform to Ansible, distinguishes between pseudo-assembly "language that directly expresses changes to be made" and "language that humans can write abstractions in").

> Showing the error itself only opens the provider to information disclosure

No offence but as an end user I really despise this attitude. Sure there might be automatic monitoring at a place like fastly, but even they can use help in tracking down the problem. Also, if the error is distinct people can put it into Google and call on the vast power on the Internet to help figure out how to fix it or work around it, especially on smaller services where a fix may or may not be forthcoming anytime soon. A good error message leads to a Stackexchange page leads to a solution. A vague error leads to a support call with a bewildered frontline tech and a lot of work for some sorry engineer who has to dig through log files.
> Stock has no inherent value until it's sold at whatever price the market is willing to pay.

You’re aware that the market price is what someone is willing to pay, right? It’s not theoretical, it’s backed up by someone willing to buy shares (a lot of them for Amazon) at the quoted price.
I believe he means there's a big commitment to get somebody going into a project. To create value, engineers need to be involved in many aspects of the product, which takes time for both parties, which is paid by the employer.

Read my other replies, venture investing model assumes that 80% of your portfolio will go to 0 and that you hit a few unicorns that will account for most of your returns. I'm saying that Bezos can have a diversified portfolio and when he hits an Uber or Google he 1000xes his investment, which increases his net worth but isn't taxed because he gets to hold it for as long as he wants. Each year a % of his investments go to 0 and he gets to use that to cash out some of his gains without paying any taxes on them since his net gain is 0.

I'm not saying that he can save money by investing in a bunch of juiceros, just that each year when a few of his investments are duds he has a pool of unrealized gains that he can pull out tax free to match the losses.

They are only disallowing code execution within content script sandbox. You can still create a <script> tag with custom code. The script will be run in page sandbox. The main difference is that it won't be able to access chrome.* APIs but it could be affected by CSP.

I doubt that tampermonkey executes custom scripts within content script sandbox since a script could take over the extension itself. They should be fine.

Please note that as an extension developer I receive at least once a month a cash offer to inject scripts that track users.

If you trust the OS, it could hypothetically be built into the OS such that the app only gives what needs to be encrypted to the OS and gets back an encrypted payload to send, then the app wouldn't need to access your keys?

Of course at that point the OS has to either provide good key management itself, or a good API so that the apps can still make things seamless while still not accessing the keys directly.. and probably other problems I haven't thought of.

You are misinterpreting that part; you can claim the exemption in a house you've lived in for two years. "Two years out of the last five" means you can live in the house for two years, then move out of it (presumably because you bought another house) and rent it for up to three years, and then sell it and still claim the exemption. Even after that, you can sell it and still not pay taxes on it if you use the proceeds to purchase a different investment property (this is the "1031 exchange" that's been mentioned several times).
Good science isn't found in headlines, peer review or gtfo.
But capital gains is taxed as income. What you’re talking about is unrealized income.

Would it make sense for tech workers to pay taxes on the options they hold as a part of their employment? That’s just deferred income as well.
Oh my god. I fed that text to the model and asked what we can do about this. Here are its answers:

It is not so much the search engines that are at risk, but the people themselves.
In a world where anyone with a $0.05 budget can just make something up, nobody will be able to trust anything anymore.
It is not the search engines that will change the way we search, it will be the people, who will stop trusting anything they read.
And that is a problem.

The problem is not with search engines. It's with people.
Most people who get scammed will not be able to understand the text they see. They may think it's legit because it looks pretty, but they don't understand what the text means.
The only way to find out the truth is by doing a little research and contacting the company to ask for a refund or to talk to their support.
But, with enough of these scams, people will stop trusting anything they read.
I think that most of us would say that you are not imagining it. However, predicting the future is hard. The whole system is a fiction and can be patched for a long time with new fictions. The suffering of many get disipated by some sofisticated smoke screens that got perfected hundreds of years. Whithout major environment disruptions, no significant correction will happen because most people are quite clueless and very short term oriented. Even rich people. The complexity is too big for our minds. Do you believe that 25%/year (made up number) inflation is a huge correction?

My 2 Cents on “On the Diverse and Fantastical Shapes of Testing”
But property taxes aren't a tax on capital gains. In a jurisdiction where property values are regularly reassessed for property tax purposes, they could also go down rather than up, and so the owner's property tax liability could also fall over time. (For example, if there are new negative externalities or just decreased demand for property in that area. Maybe some San Francisco landlords will, for example, pay lower property taxes post-COVID compared to pre-COVID, or paid lower property taxes post-dot-com-crash than pre-dot-com-crash.)

They also aren't a tax on capital gains because there is no form of "basis" for real estate taxes: it doesn't matter for the determination of the tax who the owner is or when the owner bought the property, or, in principle, at what price.

Meanwhile, real estate sales are also subject to capital gains taxes, and I don't think you can detect property tax payments against the capital gain!

I think you made the overall point correctly: in the U.S., ownership of an asset is generally not taxable at all, and therefore unrealized capital gains not only are not taxable but don't affect one's tax liability at all, except for assets whose ownership is itself taxable, which is the rare case rather than the common case today.
