Probably easier to just observe that, if GPT-3 isn't reliably correct, then it's not consistent enough to simulate a Turing-machine and therefore isn't Turing-complete.

As for loops: a Turing-machine could do infinitely many loops, so Turing-completeness implies that a system can do the same. If GPT-3 can't do infinitely many loops, it's not strictly Turing-complete; and if it can't do many loops, then it wouldn't seem like a meaningful approximation of a Turing-complete system.

Worked as a temp for the IRS equivalent in my country. The degree of understanding and professionalism was unexpected. We were just overworked, mostly because the systems were really not up to date and had a few directives that were a bit inhumane (first time asking for a delay=> ok in all cases, no explanation needed. 4th time=> NOK in all cases, expect interests.). For people who couldn't afford the taxes, we had really knowledgeable people taking a lot of time finding ways of rebating taxes, people who could make 10x working as taxes lawyers and making a better job at it than actual lawyer (in my skewed perspective, don't quote me on that).

What's going to happen in Taiwan as China gets ever closing to some kind of direct attack. No, we won't land on Chinese land to help them. There's always the point that it is hard to make an amphibious attack on Taiwan. Eventually China will attack them, then what will the US do to help? Then there are the potential for island battles in the ocean.
It’s not that people don’t want to hold them accountable, but rather there is no reliable means to do so without taking unreasonable personal risks.
This is the curse of doing software for a living. When I worked as a dev, I also started to dislike computers. I would come home and not want to even touch my personal machine. Now I'm out of the software industry, and tinkering with my computers is one of my favorite things again. When I was working in software, getting a call from a family member for computer help was a nightmare. Now, I look forward to helping my parents set up a new machine or install some smart home device.
In many places outside Silicon Valley, you'll find that local investors are reluctant to deviate from 1x revenue or 10x EBITDA for "venture investing" valuations -- which are really more akin to mature company / PE-style worldviews. For companies working in those environments, you could easily justify YCombinator as a conduit to Silicon Valley investor networks with loftier valuations & hypergrowth mindsets.

Since we're having the semi-annual "how do taxes work in other countries" thread, here is my experience as an American living in Switzerland. Though I have been here a while, I still find it interesting and a little weird.

At the beginning of the year, you get a bill for that year based on what they think you will owe. This bill is due on October 31, i.e. you need to pay your estimated income tax before you have earned all that income. This is especially strange because most people will get a 13th month salary at the end of October (your annual salary is split into 13 months, the extra comes in time for Christms presents?). You are expected to save adequately to be able by the end of October.

Banking secrecy is not dead in Switzerland. There are no longer anonymous accounts, and banks share information with foreign governments. However, there is banking secrecy between the banks and the government. On the other hand, we pay a wealth tax each year (it's small), so you need to declare each account and how much you had in it on December 31.

To create an equal playing field between house owners and renters, house owners pay an imputed rent cost for how much they would have paid in rent for their house. This is added to their income before taxes are calculated. In my case, this means my assessed income is around 25k higher than it otherwise would be.

There is no automatic form filling in my state, but there is free tax software (Java app which runs everywhere), and it is pretty easy to use. If you have questions, the local tax office will nicely respond via "secure email" in 1-2 days.

Taxes are very progressive and family friendly. With 4 kids and one income we pay 6.5% combined local/state/federal on income of around 120k (plus imputed rent).

There are no property taxes. For the wealth tax, most people who own houses never pay off their mortgages. They will typically have a mortgage for 50% of the house value (which can be quite high, a typical house where I live is between 800k and 1000k, and more in bigger cities). The interest can be deducted, and the mortgage amount from the wealth tax.
Yeah, that I agree with.

I don't have a special insight into OP, perhaps he too is an asshole with a bad attitude like the people you happen to know. But suppose not? There are always exceptions.

It would be one thing to put up specific criticism of his efforts, it is quite another to just assume the worst because he happens to be from "the west" and automatically dismiss him as part of the very real issue that you mention.

To me, in my opinion, it is absolutely incredible to just throw up your hands in exasperation and argue with a straight face that it is somehow better to not even tackle the problem and that nobody else should either.

Rome wasn't built in a day.
No, this is just the cynic HN perspective and an excuse to do nothing about it.
From a strictly utilitarian point of view (the favorite view of this website), since there's more tenants than landlords out there, shouldn't we err on the side of protecting tenants from abuse rather than the other way around? You can't have it both ways, so you have to do something.
Are you sure about that? Seems a very narrow-minded definition of "education".
Rote repetition is also "education", for example.
If you have to work to live, you’re a worker, sorry. 500k a year is a lot but in many places it’s not enough that you can stop working. So yeah, if people who make 500k a year know what’s good for them, they should totally align themselves with “regular” workers. 500k is a lot closer to 50k than it is to 5 million.
> The obvious solution is the one I've long advocated in this forum and elsewhere: a housing market where landlords can pick and choose tenants should not be permitted to exist.

Do you leave your domicile unlocked for anyone to visit, while you are elsewhere? No? A landlord doesn't want to do that, either.
This seems like an internet meme and a "just so" story that once you dig turns out not to be true (the "let's make it more complex" part).

Sources would be nice.
The spin is also a bit weird... suggesting that their experimental results were ten times better than their theory predicted doesn't exactly lend a ton of confidence to me in their theory.

It's interesting, at that scale. But just imagine if someone designing a power plant said that their reactor generated 10x the power calculated.

Neat, at that scale. But very strong spin.
I rent an off-season house every winter in a summer beach town. My rent is so low it's almost free. The landlord just likes having someone around who will keep an eye on the place. It's better for the house to keep it heated all winter (I pay the utilities), the landlord doesn't have to worry as much about break-ins (uncommon around here anyway), and doesn't have to find someone to check for storm damage while she's down in Florida for the winter. Sucks moving twice a year and having to find summer housing, but in return I get a three-bedroom house for less than the local studio apartment rate, and the landlord covers the property tax bill and gets peace of mind.
>>Ukraine was not cut off from the global financial system and had no issue receiving donations in fiat currency—I myself sent them some fiat.

It is far easier to donate from your browser, using your MetaMask wallet, than by visiting your bank branch to effect an international wire transfer. It can potentially also be safer, in letting you not have your identity recorded anywhere in association with a donation to a party to a conflict.
What's fair is a constant rate across everyone regardless of income level (once a minimum threshold is reached) as Islam does in Zakat. Without getting into too many details, it requires 2.5% of the amount of money sitting in the bank (or equivalent) for a year to be donated to certain classes of charity. It works so well that it has been reported that there were no poor people left to accept Zakat in Iraq during the Ummayad period.
I think Ringo is never given enough credit for his role in the band. While not the flashiest player, he laid down the groundwork of what a pop drumbeat is.

The question in any given area you outsource to experts isn't how much you spend, but what percentage you waste as a result of lacking domain specific knowledge. For instance, I'm not a good auto mechanic, let alone an expert. But I've read my car's factory service manual end to end, and looked up a lot of what I didn't understand. I don't usually have to ask a mechanic what's wrong, but if a mechanic tells me something I understand what they're talking about and what it should cost, and thus, I might pay $1000 for a job where someone else would pay $3000. Having as much domain specific knowledge as you can is always a good thing. That's the point. Building wealth is not about refraining from spending money. It's about getting what your money is worth without getting scammed.
I urge you to look into Zakat to find that formula. It works and is actually fair.
Alibaba could already avoid that need for individual transactions by just holding balances in the different currencies, like e.g. Wise and many other retail forex providers do. They only need to deal with correspondent banks for balancing out those accounts in case more money flows in one direction than the other, and those transactions are large so the costs are not as much of a concern.

In any case, your argument presumes some desire to get rid of the correspondent banks. Most people don't have that desire, they just want the money to go from A-B reasonably cheaply, and there are existing great solutions for that except at the fringes — like criminals, avoiding sanctions, avoiding capital controls, etc — which is why crypto stays on those fringes.
Thank you! Exactly, I honestly hope this forms a reality check for him.
Beware: if you owe the government money due to your mistakes, you will have to pay penalties and interest.
I wouldn’t.

And “sin taxes”, i.e. tobbaco taxes and carbon taxes are a logical fallacy.

Tobacco tax won’t offset the additional healthcare costs for smokers on average, so it ends up just being a penalty for having a bad habit, and carbon tax will simply put a price tag on high carbon emissions.
> There's a difference between content moderation and censorship.

Not at all. Whenever some individuals posts ONE piece of content that's not acceptable for some obscure non-written reason, the censorship hammer falls on the whole profile/account of said person, thereby removing all historical acceptable communication as well.

If it was really different, you would ONLY censor the problematic piece of content, not everything back to the roots of history.

The scheme described there has the disadvantage of requiring a writable filesystem, whereas Linux is designed to run on embedded hardware with no writable storage. If you're running "normal" hardware, Linux can do the same "save some entropy in a file" trick.

> For portability reasons, never use /dev/random. On OpenBSD, it is an alias for /dev/urandom, but on many other systems misbehaves by blocking

This seems like bad advice to me (at least as a blanket statement). On recent versions of Linux, /dev/random only blocks if the kernel cannot guarantee cryptographically secure randomness. If you use /dev/urandom in this situation, you get potentially insecure randomness, which can lead to security vulnerabilities. My understanding of the current best practice is: unless you're running on weird embedded hardware, writing an application which absolutely needs randomness during earlyboot, AND you don't care about the quality of the randomness, you shouldn't use urandom.

Perhaps the manpage was referencing an older version of Linux where the entropy pool could be "drained" and had to be re-seeded periodically, but that was not a great design and was replaced in 2020: https://lwn.net/Articles/808575/

This part of the thread is about alleged discrimination in elite school admissions against folks in 4H, FFA, and ROTC. These researchers say that they normalize for all other variables other than participation in these activities, and I suggest that their normalization methods are inadequate.

They all could play and sing before The Monkeys. It was just that the instruments that some of them played were not necessarily the instruments that their characters in the show were supposed to play.

Davy Jones was a singer before The Monkeys. He had a single make the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965, and a couple singles that made the top 10 that year in Australia. He could also play drums. But he was also short and it wouldn't work out well visually to have him on drums.

Micky Dolenz had a band of his own in the early '60s where he played guitar and was lead singer, and also wrote songs. But his character in the show played the drums, which he had never played.

Mike Nesmith played guitar and bass and sang in several folk and country bands before The Monkeys, and wrote songs. His song "Different Drum", written a year or two before The Monkeys, became a hit for Linda Ronstadt in 1967. He had offered that song to the producers of The Monkeys but they didn't want it.

Peter Tork played piano, base, guitar, and banjo long before The Monkeys and had spent a lot of time doing folk music in New York.

They were allowed to have some songs the wrote on their albums. The first two albums each included one Nesmith song and one song Nesmith cowrote.

Their 3rd included 3 Nesmith songs, 2 songs that they all wrote, a Dolenz song, a song Tork cowrote, and one that all 4 cowrote with one other person.

Their 4th included a Nesmith song, a Tork song, one cowritten by Nesmith, and one cowritten by Jones.

Their 5th included 3 by Nesmith, and one he cowrote, and 2 that Jones cowrote.

The rest are fairly similar.

> Tax should also control for externalities. Especially 'common good' pollution/destruction/captation.

The problem with this approach is all it does is it legitimises pollution/destruction/captation if you just pay a tax on it.

Did you report the sale? When I sold my primary residence in 2018, it ended up on Schedule D and Form 8949, and there were no questions asked. The IRS does have a tendency to assume zero basis when there's a capital sale reported to them that doesn't appear in the tax return; which makes for scary bills, but can usually be resolved by reporting the sale and your basis on the appropriate form. (although I see from further replies that you are now having to deal with this in Tax Court, so that sounds like a terrible time, and I'm sorry for your tedium)
I'm assuming the contracts were all written up by a competent lawyer, once, and then just had the titles and salaries slightly changed from person-to-person.

Interviews were handled by the team that the new hire would be joining, and most personnel issues were handled locally too. Very rarely they'd be kicked up the chain to the department head, but honestly these issues were very rare.

Seriously, without an "HR police" to complain to, most people would just deal with interpersonal issues like adults and move on.
People reach for the Taylor series because it’s what they remember from calculus, but there’s the Remez algorithm for finding the polynomial which minimizes the maximum error.

If you’re measuring “how good is my cosine function” by calculating the maximum error, then it makes sense to use an optimization algorithm that minimizes that error.

The Remez algorithm is rather elegant. The basic idea is that you come up with a polynomial, figure out where the local error maximums are, and then calculate a new polynomial with better local error maximums in the same locations. Repeat. With the right conditions it converges quickly and to a global minimum.

For example, let’s say that you try to come up with a quarter-wave cosine approximation. You end up with a polynomial that has local error maximums at x=[0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.7, 1.4, 1.57], and various values of ∆y. You create a new polynomial and design it to have exact errors of ±∆y at the same x locations… the errors will alternate in sign as the polynomial goes above and below the target function. However, when you design the function, you’re just doing a polynomial fit through these (x,y) coordinates, so the new polynomial will have local error maximums at different x coordinates. Note that the boundaries are also error maximums. You end up with exactly the right number of degrees of freedom to solve the equation.

Each time through the loop you get a new set of x coordinates. Under the right conditions, these converge. Eventually the ∆y errors are all nearly equal to ± some global error maximum, with alternating signs.

I used this to approximate sine and exp functions for an audio synthesis tool I’m working on—the nice thing about polynomials over lookup functions is that they are easier to convert to SIMD.

Here is the NumPy code I used to find the coefficients. Note that this is not taken from any kind of numerical recipes cookbook and I can’t really vouch for the algorithm I used from a numerical standpoint—I only checked that it works empirically.

That's completely and utterly bonkers. First of all, Russia has nuclear weapons. No one is ever going to invade Moscow as long as that is the case. Full stop.

Second, even if there were no nuclear weapons in play, NATO ain't the USA and UK alone. Most NATO states had more or less castrated their military to the point that even successful conventional defense depends cooperation with all other members. That's over since 2014 and even more so since 2022. Putin woke the sleeping giant. Germany alone will more than match Russia's conventional military in the future. Putin created his own opponent. Before that, NATO was structurally incapable of attacking Russia conventionally without a year long buildup of forces.

And finally, if it comes to the thread of a color revolution: Putin has had all the chances to both develop close and lasting ties to the EU and make his own people happy. He had the money and the tools. All he would have needed to do was to stop running the country like a mafia clan. He could have gone down in history as the great Russian reformer but now he will go down as its grave digger.
