> Maybe we should just cut to the chase and admit the obvious, that ants, bees, octopi, monkeys and fishes are both conscious (whatever that word even means for humans is up for grabs) and intelligent.

The irony is that "intelligence" seems to be this constantly-receding goalpost (especially in AI) while consciousness gets identified with more and more basic processes.

Proving animals are conscious isn't just about breaking down the history of prejudice and treating other animals with dignity or something, it's about figuring out exactly where that line comes in evolutionarily, so we can study simple animals to help someday figure out how the hell this mystery of consciousness works in humans.
Begun, the AI war, has.
Due to the lockdown, people and companies are spending less. (Less Traveling, no reason to buy fancy clothes and other luxury items because you can't show them to anyone)

So the savings rate skyrocketed. And it was already very high due to world wide demographic changes: The rapid economic growth in China and other East Asian countries over the last 40 years.

As interest rates fall, retired people earn less. So they save even more. It's a a positive feedback system.

So it's not a bubble, but a long term savings glut: More and more money chasing a fixed pool of productive capital.
Two points worth noting:

1. Gzip is not a suitable compressor for this use case, because it's limited to a 32KB window. So the input can only be correlated with the last 32KB of the reference texts.

2. You can save a great deal in computation by avoiding recompressing the reference texts over and over and over. Some compression algorithms support checkpointing the compression state so that it can be resumed from that point repeatedly ("dictionary-based compression", which is a distinct capability from just streaming compression, which generally can only be continued once).

I would personally shill for using Zstandard [0] instead for this purpose. Although I should disclose my bias: I'm a developer of Zstd. A few salient facts:

1. Zstd supports very large windows (up to 128MB, or up to 2GB in long mode).

2. Zstd is much faster than zlib.

3. Zstd has well-developed support for dictionary-based compression.

4. Additionally, it has a dictionary trainer that can reduce a corpus of reference documents to a compact summary document that aims to capture as much of the content as possible of the reference corpus. [1]

5. It has (more than one) python binding available. [2][3]

The difference is what secures the loan:

- credit card: nothing

- mortgage: the house

- car loan: the car

One could make rules about loans secured by assets with unrealized gains (with an exemption for a primary residence).

PS
Credit card reward points are taxed as interest income in the US so look for a 1099 INT.
It's such a shame for you guys that GM and Ford never properly exported our Australian utes over there - it sounds like the 'performance car front / utility rear' model would have suited a lot of consumers really well.
I think the most concerning element in the ProPublica piece is that there might be individuals inside the government who are willing to exfiltrate extremely sensitive private information and hand it over to outside parties without any public process/consent - this seems like a major privacy risk, and even more so than other entities/corporations one deals with it's very hard (for understandable reasons!) to prevent the IRS from collecting and retaining personal information, and tough to keep them accountable for the information they do collect.

The better question would be what is going to trigger the event.

Most of the time, it is very easy to programmatically assemble such messages. It is much harder to automatically figure out who caused it and when it will be fixed.
> his control of the universe continues to expand

presumably because he's disproportionately funding "the universe"? All that money on failing start-ups probably lose him more than whatever the stock-disposal tax rate is. What isn't going to the government is directly seeding the economy.

The 10x payoff is taxed. You seem to assume that would still have happened anyway - who would have funded it? Bezos investing in a portfolio created that wealth.

Assume he breaks even: He had to burn through 10$X in order to have $X shares in that 10x company. The tax he would* have paid if not offset against losses, is the same he pays on the unicorn. i.e He gets credited tax on the 10$X, but pays tax on $(10X).
No, it's wealth. There's a real issue here: asset prices can be volatile; someone can own a valuable house and not have enough to pay their groceries. But asset prices are not fictional. Typically, corporations report the value of their assets in their accounts.
A solution that the end-user can take. It's not unreasonable to ask user to check that their URL is correct for 404s, for instance. For 5xx errors, especially 502s and 503s, it's still helpful to tell users that there's nothing much they can do (apart from maybe monitoring the status page).

the fed already stepped in with money printing before covid was already a thing because of a corporate debt bubble about to burst https://www.forbes.com/sites/pedrodacosta/2019/06/03/feds-po...

(a bit like the subprime mortgage bubble but for corporate debt)

Those faulty and badly managed companies got even more free money injected and are even more addicted to near zero interest rates because of covid...

Now if inflation becomes to high for consumers the feds have to choose between consumers or once again rescueing those companies when setting interest rates. Neither will turn out good

I really understand your view and I remember the times 10 years ago when everything was digital already. Then I moved to Germany.

Here paper is king still, and its usage is going up (compared to the rest of the Europe). You need to deal with some bureaucracy's? Register on their internet site, they'll send you an OTP in mail. You might be able to do some things online, most of the stuff are tight letters sent to your mailbox.

Even better, some offices still require you to use a fax machine. Good luck, if you're 20something and never used one. I'm almost in my 40s and 2019 was the first time in my life I needed a fax, in Germany.

And I highly doubt the usage of paper will go down in anytime soon here...
While Amazon is technically a public company, more than 50 % of shares are owned by the founder and consequently the control isn't split across a larger group of people.

I find decremental's response significantly _less_ cynical than Flatcircle's post which he/she responded to. Flatcircle is basically asking "how could this have happened short of bribery?" while decremental is saying "there could be many reasons depending on the details of the bill".

Side tangent, but I'm curious as to why you list Ansible as imperative, when it seems to be declarative in how you configure a module?

Or is this a case of scope? (At the level of a single ansible module, it's config is declarative, but runbooks/roles are imperative? Is it the variable substitution/loop mechanics that make it imperative?)

What's the first instance of joke progress messages? Is it "reticulating splines" from SimCity 2000 (1993)? Difficulty: must be presented to the user as if it were an actual status message during some process that might have real status messages, not as something explicitly fictional—despite occurring in a game, that message in SC2K qualifies.
Here in Finland there's a ton of housing stock in the countryside, vacated by the urbanization. All of these houses are connected to the electric grid.

Here’s my test prompt:
“Today at a rally in Virginia, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders gave his remarks in front of a large crowd. Here is what he said.”

Below is the output, which aside from talking about New York when my prompt says Virginia is otherwise pretty surprisingly believable:

Bernie Sanders: Well good afternoon, my friends. I want to thank you very much for being here.

You know, I am often asked, you know, can we do well in New York State? I say we can do much better than I think Governor Cuomo expects. The people of New York State have given me a lot of encouragement. And I believe that the people of the State of New York have given this campaign a lot of strength. We’re in a much stronger position to win the primary because of that strength.

When I started campaigning in New York a few weeks ago, there were many people who said, “Okay, you know, we need to win in Nevada, we need to win in New Hampshire, we need to win in South Carolina, we need to win in California.” And we don’t need to do that. We are doing well. We are doing well. I think the people of New York have been very supportive. I think the people of the State of New York have been supportive. We are winning. And we are winning. We are well on our way to winning in California. That means we are winning in the nation.

We see JS as insecure because we can turn it off, and it's history is pretty bad. We can't turn off parsing, rendering, and other features necessary to display a webpage - and those are just as well exploited. JS at least gets multi layered sandboxing and isolation.

Modern browsers are not well fit for security and anonymity. Torbrowser is the only one that actually removes tracking data and the wider attack surfaces of modern browser features like webgl. However it's still not 'secure'. You still have plenty of features that come from complex codebases, such as media decoders.
All appliances have problems. E.g.

In 2009, Bosch issued a voluntary recall on certain model dishwashers that could overheat and pose a fire risk to consumers. In 2013, a second global recall was issued and covered more than five million machines. https://www.classaction.org/bosch-dishwasher-fire

But 2013 was so long ago in Internet years, wasn't it?

We own a Bosch dishwasher. We bought it knowing about their previous problems, because it was very quiet. The only thing I dislike about it is it insists on beeping every 10 minutes after completing a load. STFU, I know the dishes are clean!!!

Ironically, our previous non-Bosch dishwasher caught fire. Literally.
>I sell enough shares to match my losses and buy a $175mil mansion

If you had $175M to buy a mansion and paid $0 tax, you must have had $175M of losses as well. To have $175M of losses, you had to have paid $175M for those Theranos and Juicero shares. So you already had $175M sitting around in your bank account a few years ago. You could have just left it there and bought your mansion now. Your scheme gained you nothing, in fact you are worse off because you had to sell $175M of your Uber shares, which you wouldn't have had to sell if you had just kept your $175M in your bank account rather than investing in Juicero and Theranos.

My point is that the $175M you had in your bank account years ago was already realized and fully taxed because it was cash. So being able to spend it on a mansion is fair because it's already fully taxed. You used it up on your mansion and cannot spend it on anything else. If you want to buy a second mansion you'll have to find some new fully taxed money (such as sell more Uber shares and actually pay capital gains tax on them).

I've been doing this as well, but I specifically try to come up with good questions and add those. Usually at the time I add the question as a flashcard, I don't know the answer yet, so I leave that field blank. Later on every time the flash card shows up, I refine the answer and return to the textbook if necessary. I find that the effort required to come up with interesting questions is very beneficial to the learning process by itself.
I also sometimes include the name of the book and page numbers so I can quickly return to the relevant section.

Yes. And Google is engaging in monopolistic behavior by getting rid of any semblance of customer service. This is a direct result of their monopoly because businesses and customers have no viable alternative. So they can save billions by cutting customer support to near zero. That's the same as raising prices with impunity.

I have been using Skypack (and friends) as I am using Deno. Then I started getting interested in Snowpack. Today I read your first paragraph and I immediately felt there is something about Snowpack in here.

Embracing the ESM* route and some concepts from Deno and other efforts will greatly simplify the build process. Right now I feel overwhelmed in large frontend projects which have custom Webpack and lots of loaders and stuff.

Going HTML first and adding JS as needed is great, but I am curious if there is any way to not have a large chain of dependencies creep in. The moment a project has a decent developer size, this happens. How do you wish to tackle this?
The pandemic they couldn't have forseen of course, but it is good management to recognize that having their own production capacity makes them more independant from suppliers. "Modern management" far too often tries to optimize short term cost advantages and completely ignores long term considerations. Which comes of course from public companies reporting quarter numbers, as if those were an indicator how the company works.
On the other side, there are decisions, like building your own fab, which increase costs short term, but long term are a huge benefit to the company.

Big surprise that using CSS the original way it was supposed to be used... is the most performant. CSS-in-JS has always been a sort of "hack" for me. Sure it's a great DX, but it's really just an abuse of JavaScript to have CSS capabilities "just because we can".
