For the generationally wealthy laws such as stepped up basis and lower taxes on capital gains are also counter factors.

The mortgage interest deduction in particular now helps the top 20% or so afford their homes. And afford to continue paying more for homes in their range. Thus boosting property values and prices. While the lack of mortgage interest deduction for additional homes increases the cost of homes which are let out as rentals, which directly impacts the cost of renters, and indirectly boosts the costs of renters through the rise in property values.

I haven't studied this, and lack the ability to do an economic analysis of the yoyoing of increasing home prices versus new construction. But there's probably a regressive effect on wealth even for some of those who aren't living hand-to-mouth.

It looks like the mortgage interest tax deduction did decrease from interest on up to $1 million in loans to interest on up to $750 thousand with the 2017 tax change. This should help reduce the effect on house prices a little bit on the margin.

> it is mostly the high earners that are paying for everything, offsetting the their wealth accumulation.

To an extent this is true. But this argument is also used to say that renters don't pay property taxes. Maybe not, but property taxes have a direct, proportionate effect on the rent that they pay.

Ask HN: Why can't I reply to comments after a while?
Hi there,

On some other thread, I criticized an article, and my criticism in turn got criticized and I answered some of the complains, but at some point I couldn't reply to any comment on that thread. Is there a limit to how many comments one can post on a thread? Or was I flagged in some way?

Straw man. Literally no-one thinks we're going to do away with all motor infrastructure. What we want are a portion of that infrastructure to be reallocated for smaller, slower bicycle (and bicycle-like) traffic.

On your 'young and healthy' hyperbole... I'm 50 this year and not in great shape (though because of the bike it's improving). I live in a somewhat quiet part of a major metro area (specifically Ballard, in Seattle) I have a cargo-style ebike that I use for almost everything that's within 5miles of my house rain or shine. If I need to go buy something that won't fit on my bike I use a car-share or borrow from a friend who is car-enabled. Given how hilly Seattle is, I've always shied away from biking here, but after having the use of an ebike for a few months during the pandemic (outside the city) I got hooked. I can ride it fine without pedal assist (if I run out of juice), I can use pedal assist when I get tired, and there is a throttle and gearing to help me conquer most of the hills I'm likely to attempt.

I work, kind of, in this space - and it's been wild to me how incredibly easy it is to embed myself into public Discord servers that offer fraud/abuse bots. That might speak to the sophistication of what I find (vs. groups with better OpSec). I agree though, I'm surprised this was operated on the public internet with a great domain name.
There’s nothing in copyright law that pertains to trademark. They’re entirely separate things.

But yes, trademarks can be invalidated if you do not defend them. Because the point of a trademark is to be a unique identifier for a particular good or service, to protect consumers against fraud or misrepresentation. If it isn’t a unique identifier because others are using it, then there is not a consumer protection reason to provide this exclusive use anymore.

I think people often miss sight that the reason for a trademark isn’t the same as copyright. It’s not a protection of a creative work. It’s a protection of fair commerce.

It's a difficult issue because I think the trading is also the core of what makes the game interesting; it's hard to force players to cooperate with their competitors while avoiding the kingmaker issue.
More a philosophical question on whether jail is for punishment or rehabilitation.

Clearly the impact and scale of this crime was large and far reaching, and negatively impacted society more than most murders would have. Thus from a punishment perspective, sentencing should be harsher than lesser crimes.

From a rehabilitation perspective... is the offender likely to commit a similar crime again? What harm does he possess to society going forward? In most of these kind of white collar crime cases, I'd guess the answer is "not much risk". Reputation being tarnished is enough to prevent similar scale fraud a second time. Though of course could operate through proxies/hidden channels. I'd be interested to see the recidivism rate for different types of white collar crime.

Some people believe more in punishment, some in rehabilitation. If you look at it strictly mathematically/economically... the "best" outcome for society is likely to optimize for minimizing future negative externalities... so the people who pose little future threat should get shorter sentences. And this is somewhat how it works in practice in many cases (sentencing differentials for white collar/rich vs blue collar/poor).
One thing Apple can't (or won't) compete on is price for RAM and storage.

I have 32GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, that cost me $200 total. The CPU and barebones mini pc (5600G, ASRock DeskMini) I bought are about $200 each. So $600 total.

Meanwhile I can't even buy a base model M1 or M2 mac mini with 32 GB of RAM, and 24GB of RAM is $400. 1 TB of storage is another $400.

The Mac option turns out to be roughly twice as much, for a pretty comparable system (including single core speed!). Even if I want more storage, I can have it for an extra $100 or so.
Will you do that right away, or wait for LangChain's fall from grace?
People hated the Eiffel Tower for a long time.
Completely agree, if you have an actual concern, specify it. Do you think deepfakes will cause a credibility crisis? Do you think LLMs will ruin anonymous internet discussions? These are tangible and realistic problems, but both technologies have existed for years and people have been talking about these problems for a while as long as they’ve existed, so it’s annoying for people to come out of nowhere and assume that nobody cares or start a panic saying we need to axe them because you just learned about them and got scared.

It’s unproductive and pointless to argue about hypotheticals that don’t map to anything close to current technology.
Absolutely not. The trading is the whole point. You talk to each other, you negotiate, it's interactive. Sure it means the same person always wins, but it's the interaction that keeps it alive.
To be clear, I (and I suspect many others) do appreciate the "this is from chatgpt [and therefore may not be correct]" notes. Because posting it without that and without verification is what some are doing, and that's just plain malicious karma farming. Yours isn't that.

Source? Every path is hard, so saying that's the worst is one of the most extreme claims one can possibly make.

Ex: I can argue that VC funding is much worse than having paying customers in your space and the luxury to pivot & explore until things work. Having to double down your growth bet every 18mo or die trying is a real killer. People get confused by thinking the VC path is awesome because VCs only fund good companies, but that doesn't mean it helps them, just that the company was good. Back to my main point, I wouldn't say VC funding is the kiss of death, but it a bad fit for many and arguably most companies ;-)

As I've gotten older I've had to pick and choose from time intensive hobbies I've collected over the years, and board games that rank on board game geek and - in the same way folks serious about their movies use 'film' - often get referred to not as board games but 'tabletop' are something I don't spend time with as much anymore (with real humans, digital editions have been nice). But I can still play Catan and get people to play with me.

Catan is game that scratches my game geek itch, but is fun and learnable by most people interested in a board game at a holiday. I am thankful for Catan. Thank you Klaus Teuber for bringing us Catan.
Understandably but my thinking is that when dealing with real estate you are paying for expertise navigating a--typically--large transaction for most people that wouldn't want to rely on an LMM that was trained on a dataset that might not have included the latest laws.

The thing most people on the West doesn't seem to get is, there are issues that predate Erdogan. Such as this one, whoever replaces him will make similar requests in a less childish more diplomatic way. There is legitimate concern across the voter base that the West is supporting Kurdish terrorist groups. No matter which party wins if they want to be re-elected they will need to address the same concerns.

Your answer doesn't make any sense regarding langchain to be honest.
I frequently find myself wanting to think more critically and guess about things like this. If I had thought a bit further before reading (one needle, but what is the groove like?) I would gotten to assuming that it was one dimensional, but then stepped from there to it actually affording two dimensions.

Does anyone have recommendations for reading or exercises to improve this kind of thinking?
Yeah, the 'Standard model of particle physics' actually states that particles don't exist and there are only fields around.
> thats the thing about trademarks you have to defend them afaik otherwise they are worthless.

Well, that's what lawyers often say about trademark law. But, then again, their advice to to pay lawyers more money to deal with the situation.

The reality is not nearly so cut and dried. You do have to police a trademark to some extent, and you can lose it for not policing it. So, it's not like the lawyers are lying. But any lawyer recommending action like this to "protect your trademark" is greatly exaggerating the risk in order to increase their billable hours.

Oh please. If you can produce a summary of content, you’ve captured the meaning.

I asked 3.5 to do it for you.

> The paragraph that explains that models cannot be used for fact checking is:

It’s not hard to imagine a very simple tool to try and find citations for claims. Or perhaps, derive claims from a source with citations.
No; personhood is not a legal fiction (aside from corporate personhood), but a fact independent of our always-slow-to-catch-up legal system.

Take the question and push it a little farther to demonstrate the absurdity: If ELIZA were to be legally granted personhood, would that make you believe ELIZA was capable of sentience?

It's fairly self-evident to all of us that ELIZA is just a computer program with some fairly simple code to crudely simulate human conversation.

LLMs are much more sophisticated, to be sure—but they are still unquestionably just simulating human conversation, not actually "thinking" about what we say and responding of their own agency.
The thing is that USB-C was designed to be the universal connector, for both high and low power devices, for charging and data. Should there be a qualification: 'use the specification and standards violating magnetic adapters IF your device is X and not Y or else your macbook might get toasted and btw your warranty is now void for using it.'

Or, just 'don't use shady spec violating components that don't exist in spec for good reasons'?

> Also, do devices like that actually respect that 900mA thing, assuming they're capable of pulling that much power?

USB-C will not 'give it' power unless it conforms to certain parameters like having a resistor on the CC line. This is the reason that crappy devices which merely changed the physical ports from micro-USB to USB-C and come with a USB-C (device end) to USB-A (charge end) will not charge with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The device never got updated to request the power and the USB-C port on the charger just ignores it.

No, the stories also made it into Newsweek and Time, which were pretty much the dominant credible news weeklies at the time, circulated to many millions of households. It's easy to look back now and say that was just sloppy work with little impact which has since been overblown, but I remember some academic authority figures in my young life taking the idea seriously a decade later as a result.

It was delivered with an imprimatur of authority from multiple sources and left an imprint for a long time.

It seems pretty rare that communities get "stuck with" a framework. Frameworks are pretty fluid. Eg, Python didn't get "stuck on Django," and they didn't get "stuck on flask," and they're not "stuck on FastAPI" now - the ecosystem continued to evolve, and none of these projects even had to die for a different vision of how a framework should be organized to capture the zeitgeist. They've each got dedicated communities which are continuing to improve them.

Similarly, I expect creative hackers to pursue new approaches in the space of LLM frameworks and for some of those to catch on, and that they don't need to uproot langchain to do so.
... or just people in finland who ride bikes all year round.

Sure it can suck to ride your bike on a cold wet day like we get in Seattle, but the right gear can help a lot... and I'm not sure anyone is saying, "If you buy a bike you MUST sell your car and do everything on the bike". I'm taking the bike as a challenge to myself, trying to do all I can on it. But if one day I'm just not up for it or it's just pouring, or the load is to big or too far. That's what car share is for. If everyone did similar we'd have a lot more pleasant cities.

You reap what you sow. Those techniques and legal doctrines people are so eager for when they're used against tax dodging crypto bros, drug runners and petty scofflaws (or illegal immigrants and abortion clinics if those are groups you don't like) don't end there.

So long as people feel justified remaining quiet when these affronts to privacy, freedom and rule of law are perpetrated against people they don't like there will never be critical mass of opposition to challenge them even when they are perpetrated against people they do like (because whoever you feel justified speaking up to defend others will inevitably not).

The "how they were powered" was quite important in the magnitude of many of those changes though.

"Although some were driven by animal power, most early mills were built in rural areas at fast-flowing rivers and streams using water wheels for power.[3] The development of viable steam engines by Boulton and Watt from 1781 led to the growth of larger, steam-powered mills allowing them to be concentrated in urban mill towns, like Manchester, which with neighbouring Salford had more than 50 mills by 1802.[4]"
