>amt limits are rather low, they didn't adjust for inflation for a long time so its surprisingly easy to hit

That is old information. Yes, for a number of years Congress had to temporarily extend the higher AMT exemption amounts, but they became permanently inflation-indexed beginning 2013.

Also, we are in the middle of an eight-year temporary change (TCJA) that further increased AMT exemption amounts, so in fact no, it is no longer easy to hit.

"The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), included provisions that significantly reduced the impact of the AMT. The TCJA enacted a higher AMT exemption and a large increase in the income at which the exemption begins to phase out. It also repealed or scaled back some of the largest AMT preference items—personal exemptions, the state and local tax deduction, and miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2 percent of adjusted gross income floor—further limiting the AMT’s scope. As a result, TPC estimates that the number of AMT taxpayers fell to just 200,000 in 2018 and will remain roughly constant through 2025."[0]

I'm not qualified to evaluate how plausible this is, but if it does actually work out it could be a huge boost in multiple ways. Air conditioning accounts for somewhere around 10% of US energy usage [1] and probably more in southern areas. Cutting that by a third is a lot. Not to mention the potential range extension for BEVs - in some of my BEV testing earlier this year, HVAC cut range by around 20% (note this wouldn't necessarily help much for heating, which is usually a bigger range impact).

A straight razor is simple and that's why it's the easiest to cut yourself with. An electric razor is much safer precisely because much engineering went into its creation.
What do "self directed" and "awareness" mean here? This seems circular.
Exactly. In what world is this correction necessary?
We explored Arquero a year or so ago. It’s pretty cool, can run against data in Apache Arrow format and even transform it to run against WebGPU I think. This makes things run super fast.

It didn’t work for our use case so we didn’t end up using it for long.

I also didn’t like that it parsed and transformed your JavaScript behind the scenes for various reasons. [1]

Honestly, this just leads to a lot of confusion and additional complexity for folks to reason about. I’d have preferred just a non-JavaScript DSL for the stuff they optimize and for things to work exactly the way you expect when you do use JavaScript.

This reminds me of a project I was remotely involved with: Airbus having to handle an aircraft order number above 5 digits as they were delivering their 10’000th aircraft to a customer.

This was a multi year project where we had to deliver software used
to map risk and impact across the whole company.

Imagine the costs.

I can't speak for the WHO, but that would be my assumption.

And when I say "nasty Orthopoxviruses," I mean ~25% case fatality rate in the affected species, with an increased fatality rate in infants. So... pretty horrible stuff. :(

These numbers seem squishy (keep an eye on the situational caveats they note for a specific row), but lists relative CFRs for different diseases.

This is Spain not Silicon Valley.

For a country of 48 million people, there is a calculated total of homelessness of 40,000. And they have social services to support them.

By contrast, 40,000 is the amount of homeless just in the San Francisco Area...

We don't put everyone into lockdown to treat heart disease.
Your suspicion is correct, under conditions that generally apply.

Trains on level ground have extremely low rolling resistance. This means that if you have enough train sets for peak service, running the train sets all day often makes sense, because the additional cost (in terms of CO₂) of operating a train set for an additional hour is so low. It also means that adding passengers to a half-full train is practically free (again, in CO₂).
The results of Germany's 9€ ticket were profound - where it was more meant socially due to rising fuel prices, it had tremendous impact even on traffic jams, and people that were not expected to switched over.
As public transport is usually publicly founded and/or subsidized, it also just makes sense to make it free for the public.
Sure, the riches didn't like their Sylt getting invaded by Punks ... but except that I think your fear is unfounded, people don't travel just for fun, except for vacation/recreation, and it is much unfairer if the poor family cannot even do that, while better of people can do anything in their megavan (or to the extreme, in their private jet).

Bostonian sounds like Boston ;), is it really so ingrained in the US that everything free or social must be bad?

Some kind of mobility is imo kind of basic right, and it wouldn't hurt us richer nations to more support it. (just to make it clear, saying as someone who likely more pays for it than having any use).
These are questions for your public health officials, not me. I’m merely invested in correcting your previously incorrect statements; any questions of epidemiology are best left to them. Presuming that you’re interested in their answers, of course.
I recently played with Songs of Conquest editor and Warcraft 3 editor, and they are easy to use but for single purpose.

That's an editor for single game.

The more generic you make it, the worse they are to use.

It's the same thing with IDE. The more plugin friendly you make your IDE, the less optimization chances you have.
Preprocessing produces a series of tokens, so you would implement it as a new type of token. If you're using something like `-E` you would just pretty-print it as a comma-delimited list of integers. If you're moving on to translation phase 7, you'd have some sort of rules in your parser about where those kinds of tokens can appear . Just like you can't have a return token in an initializer, you wouldn't be allowed to have an embed token outside of one (or whatever the rules are). And you can directly instantiate some kind of node that contains the binary data.
> The government acted legally. That was (and in a lot of cases still is) the problem.

Sure - I understood "dog bites and hoses" here to be a synedoche for the general government and civilian response to the civil rights protests, some of which was legal and some of which was not. Obviously I don't know the specifics of your teachers' particular stories.

It's easy to write off those atrocities with "that happened, but it was dealt with, and it's in the past now" - which, as you pointed out in the other comment, is a convenient lie.
My main point was that these were not isolated incidents (as GP implied), and that - whether legal or not - those involved faced few consequences (if any) for their actions.
I've had dogs who, if they did not get a dollop of fish oil with their food, would have all kinds of health issues. Didn't matter what the food was (avoided cheap food, of course)

I've seen people crying over Word for not being able to work with proper styles or dealing correctly with cross references, bibliography included, all of which is relatively easy for Latex. Bibliographies in Word is almost impossible without a third party plugin like Zotero, and less able people doesn't even know they exist.

I use Publii for a blog and enjoy it. I wanted actively developed static site generation with some reasonable template/theme options, and I didn't care about multi-user or team collaboration. I achieved multi-device sync via storing Publii in a cloud location.

Experiments justify 'predictions' of certain mathematical models, not 'interpretations'. As for a belief in interpretations, it's more of a philsophy, and Feynman said just 'shut up and calculate'.

If they're not spamming their links, how do they get such high search engine optimization?

Somebody upthread suggested it was just the use of Google ads, which I suppose is possible, but somehow it seems unlikely. Google sure does love money but they also need to be considered a good search engine, and I'd expect them to be at least a little wary about things like that.

Is there something else I'm missing?

I see crypto fintech startups failing everywhere. It's not the companies, it's the market.

most the engines out there weren't made for security but performance. It's disturbing and relaxing at the same time to see how easy it is to bypass them.

My layman's understanding is that it's pretty unlikely unless you are getting frisky with someone. It's spread by "intimate contact" which is a lower bar than sexual contact - extended contact with an infected persons clothes or bedsheets will do. This is also why condoms don't stop the spread of monkeypox.

Not the worst idea to wipe down machines before/after use as a general rule, monkeypox or not.

Part of the evaluation procedures for the models like these is checking whether the output they produce is present in the training set. The fraction of samples being verbatim reurgitations is low unless you prompt-engineer your way to that, copilot being able to recite the fast inverse square root function being a common example. But the ability to recite some samples is not proof of inability to create novel outputs.
Different strains of monkeypox and smallpox have wildly different fatality rates.

Variola minor is a strain of smallpox with fatality rates under 1%, while some strains of monkey pox are believed to kill 10% of the infected.

Not really, temporary farm workers in US are called immigrants. People on temporary visas are called immigrants in US, Canada and UK. Unless of course they’re European expats on the same visas. The textbook definition may suggest what you’re saying but the cultural usage is absolutely not that.
The government tried high bounties on other issues. It creates perverse incentives.

For example, kidnapping people who may or may not have information and torturing them.

If the bounty got high enough, it would pose a serious risk to low-level Huawei employees.

And do you think a bounty would help against a Stuxnet type attack? Stuxnet did almost nothing until it would up in a very specific type of device.

>In fact, humans have been genetically modifying food for centuries, we’ve just gotten much faster at it.

No we didn't, we have been conducting artificial selection for centuries, farmers just pick among the best varieties available to them. By your logic the act of buying GMO seeds is what modifies their genes rather than their production process.
But at least copied it such that any keypress will go to the input field, not get swallowed.

The difference between pennies and free is substantial. For tourists, navigating each system’s ticketing system is a pain. Even as a New Yorker, the antiquated paper mechanisms of the AirTrain are often enough to nudge me into a car.
You are aware you're spouting bullshit there, right?

First of all, copyright isn't the applicable IP; patents are.

Second, no farmer has ever been sued for accidental contamination with patented GMOs. There have been cases where farmers deliberately tried to concentrate trace contamination, but the courts properly recognized the deliberate nature of that.

These urban legend arguments are one of the reasons I view the entire anti-GMO movement with a very jaundiced eye.

How is that different from use of hybrid seeds, which have been available since forever and don't breed true?

The solution to dependence is to have multiple suppliers. One can always use an older variety of seed. If the complaint is that the benefits are going to the company that made the seeds rather than the farmer, then how is that different from any other patented technology? The farmer is never going to be worse off, since he can always just use older varieties if the cost > his benefit.

Perhaps your actual argument is that this will reduce food prices, driving out producers who don't keep up with the latest advances. But again, how is that different from any other improvement in agricultural technology? Is this just more European objection to the steamroller of US industrial agriculture?
No, people think things are free if they are offered at no cost, because that’s what the word means.
My suggestion… put 2 teachers in each room, a SME who covers the core material, and a disciplinarian who is good with kids. You’d get experienced professionals lining up in droves to teach deep dives into their favorite material if they trusted they wouldn’t be on the hook for managing the classroom, too.
> is it really so ingrained in the US that everything free or social must be bad?

It’s not “the US” as a whole, it’s one particular ideology within the US, but yes, it’s somewhat more common of a view than in Germany.
> Say what you want about rms but he indeed has a talent of ruining a successful (and free) software project with his religious views (Gnome vs KDE, Guile vs Tcl, the list goes on)...

To blame rms of all people for what you've described demonstrates a lack of understanding his scope of influence and participation in gnome especially in this era.

I can get behind blaming rms for gcc's missed opportunities, ultimately ceding its dominant position to clang/llvm. He clearly overplayed his hand there.

But when it comes to gnome I recall little more than mailing list bickering over gnome being a GNU project or not and what the G in GNOME stands for. Perhaps my memory is failing here, but it feels crediting rms with anything more than wasting a bit of gnome devs time and frustration would be overstating it. Not that any FOSS devs need more of that with how entitled and obnoxious users already can be, but they tend to have developed thick enough skin to ignore rms's aspy silliness.

Can you provide any examples to the contrary?
Do you have any data on air conditioning and EV range? I find nothing helps as much as going 110kmph (~70mph) rather than speeding at 130kmph (~80mph).
The standard doesn't do that often, but it does sometimes. E.g. realloc to null which was previously defined, and is now UB :(

the very nature of an "emergency" does cause panic, though. from what you are describing I don't see how that word can be justified. sounds more like "public health threat" or sth like that.

Maybe. But I've personally watched my grandmother reverse-engineer in realtime a recipe merely from taking a bite of someone else's pie. And that was a common feat used by a critical mass of grandmas to come up with their pies in the pre-digital era.

The fact that I can't install Debian on the most recent Iphone leads me to believe that there are a lot of Hackers who could learn something by having deeper conversations with their grandmothers.

As food, rice is mainly an excellent and easy to transport and store source of energy, with up to 80% of its weight being starch, more than in most other cereals.

All the other nutrients are present in a quantity so small that their contribution is negligible. Rice can cover all of the energy needs of a human, but it must be accompanied by other food for enough proteins, vitamins and minerals.
They are fundamentally different ways of thinking about editing, so this doesn't read like an apples to apples comparison.

Vim is all about chaining small commands together to perform complex operations, like building a pipeline in UNIX. You start off learning a few basic commands, then as your vocabulary increases you can construct increasingly complex tools just by hitting a few keys. A Windows veteran hearing about head, grep and cat for the first time might think "I can do all of that in notepad, this UNIX thing is a waste of time"... then they watch a UNIX greybeard build a pipeline in seconds that automates a hour-long workflow of clicking and form filling.

There are criticisms you could make that would read as fair, "many common editing operations are more accessible in foo", "features in foo are more discoverable", "the learning curve in foo is shallower", "I don't think it's worth the time investment to become proficient in vim/emacs" (but you would be wrong!).
I just got my first job as a full-time Elm (and Haskell) developer a few months ago... and it's been an incredible experience.
