It was the comment section of Graeber’s Guardian article written in response to this paper which first lead me to MMT.

If they said they don't see any obvious side effects so far then it is a factual statement. Your interpretation is that there are no side effects. In this case luckily you know side effects always exist so you blame authors for your error, but in another case you may fall to subtle misinformation this way.
You say it "distort the truth to make a point", and then in your next paragraph lie about the contents of the paper..

If you are lucky you have internal users who use the product in production. Then if you are lucky you have a group of external power users who appreciate getting features first and understand that there is a risk of bugs.

Most software probably falls in this category of “we could test more but at some point our users would rather get the product with bugs than wait”.

Whether it’s staged rollouts, feature flags, it’s the same thing. It’s mitigating risk when testing in prod. It’s the best bet.

Some software obviously falls into the category that can’t have serious bugs for any users. Then you just have to keep the software so simple that you can be confident it works.
Both should be statistical means, right? I'm not sure how they arrived at 200 kWh/month instead of 305.

Exactly! Their money-creating behavior is practically restricted by fundamental Reserve Requirements set by the Fed. Thus the Fed _is_ fundamental for money creation. If you want to create new money you either need reserves (set by the Fed), or a Fed account to buy reserves temporarily.

The alternative is loaning out deposits, which is zero-sum, and thus is not 'money creation.' [Edit: I am not suggesting this actually happens - I am suggesting it is the only alternative to lending within Fed limits, which is also the only way to lend without creating money]

I second Lombard Street!

However, I'm not sure about your fixed-supply money. Credit and debit have been around for ages, probably longer than money.

So in eg for a long time most of the economy didn't use money. It was around the time when the Fuggers came to power that money came to dominate the economy. But around that time (or not much later), bank notes and fractional reserve banking also already became really popular. And those are decidedly not in fixed supply.

I seriously doubt Microsoft / GitHub would care if Copilot or a similar model were trained on their proprietary source code. An advanced code completion tool does pose any significant risk of someone building a competitive product to GitHub or any other Microsoft products.

This is an intelligence augmentation tool. It’s effectively like I’m really good at reading billions of lines of code and incorporating the learnings into my own code. If you don’t want people learning from your code, don’t publish it.
Did they read and write all the data a filesystem handles?

Off the top of my head, the typical filesystem stores:

- content

- modification time
- last access time
- read/write/execute permissions
- owner
- group
- position in the dir hirarchy

$a == $b => 0,
default => null;

Also a family is way more valued in the east than the west, where it seems to be popular to leave your family for any inconvenience(Oh your father insulated you once when he was angry? Go no contact immediately, how dare he!).

An example of this is how many Europeans and most of north americans have bad relationships with their parents, compared to someone like an Egyptian or an Iraqi, even though Westerns had arguably better upbringing.

The Sinclair study is pretty contrived work frankly, as the commentary points out. We use cancer treatments in humans which can induce the same sort of DNA damage, and those people don’t seem to exhibit dramatically accelerated ageing.

This article is much more interesting and well developed IMHO: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)01530-6

It finds that activation of endogenous retroviruses induces cell senescence and is associated with ageing phenotypes. It also affords a more tractable therapeutic approach eg antivirals or vaccines.
Yes. The amazing thing about this topic is how confidently otherwise intelligent people routinely spout utter bullshit about it. It's particularly ironic (but completely unsurprising) to see people flaunting their misconceptioms in response to an extremely clear explanation of how it actually works from one of the most authoritative sources possible.

Please, if you think you know something on this topic and haven't read this pdf, just try and forget what you think you know and read it.

(Of course, now somebody will explain to me why the Bank of England doesn't actually know how money creation works, or is deliberately lying about it for some reason, and on it goes.)

Really? On what grounds? A modern combine can harvest 30 acres of wheat in an hour, and can be trivially reconfigured to handle a variety of bulk grains. Your task is now to match or better that without resorting to a monstrous pool of starvation-wage labor and without raising the price of grain to the level of a luxury good.

Yes, a shrinking society is bad.
No idea actually, I just find all sorts of odd benchmarks crop up for things where the Unified Memory Architecture on the M1/M2 give things surprising good performance due to the DMA transfer performance hit on other CPU/GPU combinations… it’s far from universal, but it’s just been surprising to see and this looked like the sort of thing that might be one of them between the camera decoding the ML & GPU processing and then “rendering” back out… where it might have had some benefits, hence my “wondering out loud”.
In the UK, I think both parties to the call would need licences - and they’d need to be using callsigns - that’s assuming they’re using an amateur band.

> Who are you to say what is productive, and what is not? When someone buys a building to lease out flats, is that not productive?

In theory there is a powerful argument here, but in practice I am suspicious because when people attempt to start settling trades in, say, gold the police will soon get involved.

If we're appealing to principles of freedom of opinion, there has to be a really good justification for why we all have to agree with the bank's opinions on who is creditworthy? I think somewhere in the mess I'm being robbed, and everyone being forced to participate in the system is not allaying my suspicions.

It is the old argument against socialism - while there is often not a good argument against the individual parts; it is the communists building the wall to keep people in. Looks kinda suspicious and the people controlling the monetary system see little reason to compromise or allow people to choose the best personal options.

You are assuming a single-story building growing only one level of crops per floor. It should be feasible to have 2-3 crops for each floor, which cuts down the required space. For example, the Tesla gigafactory has 229 acres of floor space, and it is high enough for two floors with 2 levels of crops per floor, so 629 would have to be built. The factories could be built in desert areas. Also, the world would be very interesting if 17.4 million acres of land were returned to nature.
> money-creating behavior is practically restricted by fundamental Reserve Requirements set by the Fed

Fundamentally, for money, the Fed and central banks, generally, are irrelevant. Even practically, for modern U.S. dollars, the reserve requirement is close to irrelevant. It's an archaic tool; most countries simply set it to zero.

> loaning out deposits

Did you read the link you're commenting on? Deposits aren't loaned out. Loans create deposits. This is the difference between middle-school monetarism and real banking.

The English word horde is etymologically directly derived from the Mongolian/kipchak term Orda which is a divisional unit of the Mongol army.

I suppose Bob could become an illegal shadow bank. The two things that define a bank are 1) regulation and supervision by the Government and 2) access to exchange settlement accounts at the central bank, but you can ignore #1 if you want (it makes it a lot more likely for customers to lose their money either by collapse or fraud) and what banks do through #2 can be done to various extents through other channels.

But they’re still not quite at the same level as money creating banks as you probably can’t, say, pay taxes or receive money from the Government directly with such an entity, and probably have to launder or at least convert assets to be able to credit a normal bank account.
Ahhhh, this is the real answer!

Capitalists claim to believe in free markets but private ownership of land is completely antithetical to the basic idea of a free market. In a market you cannot buy an infinite amount of something for a finite amount of money. But that's what land ownership is: control of a finite resource in perpetuity that you bought for a finite sum. You can buy some land for $10,000 then you and your heirs can collect an infinite amount of rent from it since you own it in perpetuity. Property and inheritance taxes are society's weak attempts to correct for this, but weak they are. This absurdity doesn't even include the absurdity of how the first "owner" of the land from which your ownership derives just took it, as you and the article I linked point out.

And what happens if when designer is done, Bob gives him half of his "Alice owe's you $50"? He would protest, because he wants money, not another IOU. Unless the designers bank accepts IOUs from the bank of Alice, real money is required.

It's the same result: "give me payment in a method my bank trusts. I don't trust Alice, or Bob." This trustworthy bank will need deposits, reserves, or a way to purchase reserves from the Fed when noone else will.
I assumed from the few articles that I read, maybe incorrectly, that per capita was taking entire country energy usage and dividing. Which would count stuff like the giant air conditioned shopping malls all over that people hang out in to cool off.

The Metrobank article was from 2022, and I feel they are using average household bill. But even that kind of mean is misleading. A single household with central AC would exceed typical US usage, meaning it's negating like what 8 houses?

My wife's family lives in the Visayas and pays like 8 to 12 USD a month in electricity. That's a house averaging 5 or 6 people. Even still, they are used to dealing with load shedding and blackouts.

And they are one of the few families with a small TV, even. In bigger cities like Manila and Cebu, usage is probably a ton more.
You assume I’ve not actually thought of that? Rent control and life circumstances don't allow me to move. And yes, dogs are a luxury and definitely a life choice. I have no dog because I cannot afford to one. I love dogs as much as anyone. If I owned a home I would have one. But not in my bedroom.
There is a leap in this logic- going from the fact that SAT is solvable by a LLM to the conclusion that the SAT is useless. Questions about addition can be solved using calculators, does that mean that teaching addition is useless? Also there is an underlying assumption that memorization is a useless skill, which I'd argue against, as in today's world most innovation is done by identifying patterns between disciplines, and memorization is an important part of recognising patterns
It is like someone breaking into your house, taking all of your furniture, works, and assets without your permission and then selling it back to you or to the highest bidder.

It seems almost everyone here in this thread is fine with such a grift on digital artists but when it is Copilot or ChatGPT; two years ago it was: 'Hardly going to compete against developers', with ChatGPT it became 'But juniors are only affected, not us seniors' and with GPT-4 + Copilot it will be: 'Please stop using AI code and sue GitHub now!'

Obviously this wasn't the case with Dance Diffusion (music version of Stable Diffusion) and that was trained on public domain music or the permission of musicians. It is almost as if that they knew if they did train it on copyrighted music and released it as open source, Stability AI would be out of business before they could counter the lawsuit. [0]

It is indeed a grift and the legal system will catch up on both Copilot and Stable Diffusion on using for copyrighted content in the training set of their AI models.

The bit I don't get is where there can be An accurate (?) measure of the productive capacity of ... anything. So under MMT as Inunderstand it the idea is it's feasible to create money to level of productive capacity - via government purchase of that capacity to build roads and buy policing services etc.

Wartime economies get more "productive" because the government is able to divert resources to its needs (ie stop being a hairdresser and work in the arms factory) - thus increasing the productive capacity.

So, if the government wanted to (peacetime) redirect resources it would have to bid for services at a level that encouraged hairdressers to become munitions workers - and then create money to pay for that.

And they create money through (ok lots of pieces I don't get but I think it's QE ala Richard Werner).

This is typified by a thought exercise: if the government simply replace fiat money with a crypto fiat (ie all money is in bank of englands blockchain ledger ) then suddenly private banks cannot make loans becaus they cannot create money on that blockchain. But the bank of england could ... and this is equivalent of QE except much cleaner and more obvious.

But ... and we eventually get to my point ... if money creation is taken away from banks (regulation, 2008 crash, crypto) and in theory banks are close to the real world and able to judge if loaning money for a factory is a good idea - then how does one judge how much money should be created ?

I am dubious of "we measure inflation" because not just lag but the fairly common view of "prices go up while RPI stays flat"

And since money creation is tied to collateral, and collateral is basically land, land absorbs all money creation in end - which is where we see our land price issues - and essentially means money creation is rich get richer.

If we could break the link between collateral and increasing productive capacity there might be a flowering of equality.

This is turning into a long ramble - apologies

Yeah. Leaving the UX-issues aside. Don't ever use submodules to manage dependencies inside of each polyrepo, it will eventually accumulate duplicate, conflicting and out of date sub-dependencies. Package managers exist for a reason. The only correct way to use submodules is a root-level integration-repository, being the only repo that is allowed to have submodules.
