The problem with your (and many others) "short-term thinking" argument is that the assumed long-term consequences -- you wrote "crash everything" -- doesn't happen. We went from 2008 to now, 15 years, with corporate profits and stock prices zooming straight up. Even shutting down the globe was just a temporary blip. Highly aggressive corporate activity, massive expansion of economic inequality, yet the longest non-recessionary period in this country's history.
It got worse because it was also plagiarized.
That's more because supply shortage from the bens of moore's law and design costs are still exponentially growing so there's incentive to slow walk your development/release to maximize lifetime value.
is there any data that shows the movement of the new monetary value? my guess is that, for any economy, significantly cutting down the role of the dollars requires cutting down participation in parts of the US economy that are proxies for the dollar. so, for example, china could decide to acquire lands or farms in the US. that's not necessarily long dollar. they could be buying resources in different parts of the world as well.

The British monarchy has a complicated and symbiotic relationship with the City of London as enshrined in the Statute of William and Mary [1]

[1] https://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/new-history-lond...

Public sentiments regarding the monarchy have been massaged over the centuries via the British media which is also utterly entangled in the City. It's all one giant mutual interest collective which practises tax evasion on a galactic scale.

I'd recommend picking up a copy of "Treasure Islands" by Nicholas Shaxson. Chapter 12 ("Griffin") focuses on the City and I'd also recommend viewing the reactions to any anti-monarchy campaign through this lens.

On the face of it that sounds like a burn on Microsoft, wisely found by studying the finances, but... by the nature of Apple being the best performing stock in the world for multiple years isn't the same true for most companies, that they could've made more money investing in Apple than in themselves?

Heck, maybe investing hundreds of millions in Apple today would, in X years, be worth more money than spending marketing money / development budgets for new features for their own products; or worth more than investing in OpenAI and related products - but it's not exactly something anyone would suggest Microsoft should do (in terms of just becoming a shareholder, of course there could be collaborations without changing this point).
I’m always trying to gather extra ammunition for when I’m arguing for points based estimation methodology… do you (or anyone else) have any favourite scientific studies on this ?
Fair enough, I got a bit hyperbolic. Although I also consider monarchy and aristocracy evil by definition.

I feel like one obvious way to address the incontrovertible problems with the monarchy is to recognize that the system no longer serves any purpose besides acting as a symbol of imperialism and class hierarchy that has no place in the modern world, and dismantling it.

Keep the castles and whatnot for the tourist money but why still have a King?
Isn't this just the same as what Apple does? Why is there outrage about one but not the other? (genuine question)
I would argue that age is less important than, but inclusive to, source of learning. Sources of learning include university, boot camp, self taught, job/team, and so forth.

Also, learning to code is too vague. I learned to code at a very young age but did not formally begin programming until much later in life.
Ordinals are often also called ordinal numbers. Both ordinal and cardinal numbers are very much generalisation of natural numbers to a more general concept of number, depending on if you see counting sizes of sets or denoting position (e.g. first, second, etc.) as the fundamental thing numbers do. Of course there are also other notions of number that focus on other aspects (e.g. number fields). But I think it's definitely not wrong to call all of these things numbers.

So it seems weird to me to object to the form of the question, it is perfectly fine as it is. If the question was "is infinity an odd or even natural number?", then of course you'd be right.

All of these things are also stuff one could discuss with a 6 year old (i.e. tell them that there are multiple notions of numbers that focus on different aspects, and that the question has a different (probably interesting) answer in each of these different contexts). Insisting that infinity is not a number seems like a less interesting way to talk about this, without even being necessarily more rigorous.

That's why I mention biases, which is a concern as AI becomes more and more ubiquitous. This is admitedly a silly test, I don't mean to dismiss the whole project because of a single response. I just find it interesting that, because most humans would be tricked, AI tools based on human generated data are inheriting their biases (conscious or unconscious).

Imagine if (or when) these tools were used to make more serious decisions, like hiring or sentencing:

For example, if an hiring AI disregards a female candidate over a male candidate with the same experience for an attorney role because statistically the male candidates fits the role more even if resumes are otherwise similar.

Or a sentencing AI infering crime is more likely to be committed by some groups, purely because those groups are currently over-represented in the prison population...

> "fusion by 1990 instead of 2000..."
Those three dots are omitting the most important part of the issue if we spend that much extra money on R&D

In the fusion case no one was willing to spend the money, in AGI's case it looks like everyone seems to be willing to spend the money.

I personally hope they won't, but that is a crutial point not to be overlooked.
Thank you for that insightful comment.
We're building human-like intelligence, so this seems quite apt?
You can do with a sum type (enum) that is represented by a u32 (repr(u32)), or converts into one. Though I don’t know Ada so can’t speak to how accurately I’m creating the analogy.

>no, the move away from the dollar will not hurt the US.

This is wrong - as you point out. When people don't need dollars except to buy/sell from the US, the dollar is a less attractive currency to keep around.

This is going to hurt...
As long as it is static, that is, it doesn't change during execution; you would do it by declaring the pin as either or using the type system.

This creeps me out. Hard to say what the actual play is here but transparently saying you want to learn about the user, collect their phone number, and send them unprompted messages is not a great look.
My first guess was, if they'd decided on a hiring freeze a year ago instead of now, they would have said it was because of NFTs.

>Wifi access is near-universal, so the average consumer will pretty much never be without internet access - and their phone is a pretty suitable backup hotspot.

For my last couple week urban European trip I decided to just see how I could get by with WiFi (and downloaded maps etc.) and rely on my AT&T pay by day only used as a backup. The answer was, yes, the various WiFi logins on trains etc. trying to extract marketing info from you ranged from mildly annoying to unusable. But, at the end of the day, there were only a few days I actually needed 5G.

Though with the trend towards multiple eSIMs it's probably increasingly easy to just use one of those--although the major carriers have generally improved their international packages so it may not even be worth the trouble.

GPT-4 – How does it work, and how do I build apps with it? – CS50 Tech Talk
What’s crazy is that edge is actually a really good browser. Some of the features they have wacked on top of chromium are awesome.

Especially when deploying it for a small business. It allows for easy integration with azure, profile syncing etc.
I have a question: when watching shows like Last Week Tonight by John Oliver, it feels like the important news that make direct impact on people’s lives are more local than national or even international. The state changing a law here, the city building something new or make it harder to X..etc.,

Have you considered/thought about this aspect of news?
Not to give Microsoft an out here but really?

The equivalent for this on iOS or Android would be allowing opening links in a different browser and web view engine.

The equivalent Microsoft apps on mobile OSs aren't degraded - they aren't even allowed to exist in the first place.

Microsoft is bringing the desktop experience in line with mobile here. Doesn't make it less terrible but contrasting Apple and Google as better actors in this sense is an odd take.
The UI is slow and looks like it's made by a kid who just learned animating text.

AI capabilities also seem pretty limited. Don't think it's at par even with GPT-3.5

Overall extremely underwhelming for a company with $225M in funding.

Even the GDPR with its huge impact and global implications does not apply to law enforcement agencies. So I wonder who would make such a law?
I just saw some clickbait article this week that said by some metric I don't remember, desktop safari moved to number two (presumably number one is Google Chrome) beating Microsoft Edge.

I remember how reaction was relatively swift with Apple and book publishers' illegal collusion even though Apple was not a major player yet, or maybe I am just wrong on this which is possible, I didn't follow the news closely.

In any case, I think Microsoft is doing a fine job by itself getting people turned off on edge by adding all sorts of bloatware that I doubt people will use edge as their only web browser.
Monopolies and cartels love inflation as they can increase the prices.

One interesting thing is that when prices increase, the raw prices decrease. So if you are a middle man you will make huge profits.
Demand drops as prices increase. But producers don't want to lower their production.
We have a lot of automation in the production chain, so while building a new factory cost a lot, dropping production output from 100% to 90% will save very little money. Over-production causes prices to fall.
Of all the things I hate about this country, which is a pretty long list, that one is right up there.
Microsoft has been playing the vendor lock-in game for his entire life and they were and are very successful. It is an interesting exercise to think if this time is different. Again, Microsoft always compete with better technologies from other vendors.

One aggresive move that Google or Apple could do is to really help companies in the migration to their technology beyond saying RTFM and use our support. For example, augmenting these locked companies with Google staff. You cannot expect a big corporation to move all the gears alone to change their technology.

It is not the technology, it is the business execution.
Gifs have large file sizes and poor image quality. Replace them with videos and you’ll improve page load, reduce bandwidth costs (for yourself and your users), and have better quality.

You can configure HTML video to (by default) show no controls and auto-loop so they’ll be indistinguishable from gifs on a first look, but better in every other way.
They don't because they can't. People use ms programs for their daily work , phones are secondary.

"Small startup" and "IBM stack" are not things you hear of in combination that often and I guess this is one reason why.
A land value tax wouldnt tax density it would just tax the value of the land.

This would encourage property density in high value locations like inner cities but wouldn't enforce it.

In terms of farmland it would just mean that farmers rent the land from the government rather than, say, blackrock or bill gates (two of the biggest owners of farmland right now).

This would not affect food prices by much it would just mean that when you buy food from those farms, instead of ~15% of the price flowing into bill gates' pocket it would flow into government coffers. Bad luck Bill Gates. Bad luck Blackrock.

> The economy is setup to extract your money...

Well, yes. How else can the rich keep getting richer? And the umpteen million individuals assuming "stocks will return 10% over the long term" in their retirement planning actually manage to retire as they planned?

And as long as the culture wars can be kept burning fairly hot, the line-ups of new movies and video drama compelling, and the web addictive - the poor working masses won't put up too much of a fuss over all that extraction.
I don't get the anger, at this point Edge is interchangeable with Chrome. The only thing I "miss" are my saved password and extensions which can be easily imported. Complaining online is an international pastime though.
It’s sad and foolish. Strong-arming users into a product is a 1990s playbook, wholly out of step with modern end user expectations.

Playing rough in the sandbox hurts all their products. See what’s happened to Bing since they won’t let you use it in Safari or Chrome.
I’m afraid you’re the one who doesn’t understand how it works. The banks are buying treasuries from the US Govt with customer deposits, which are then being devalued as bond yields rise. They are then being forced to liquidate those devalued bonds before maturity to cover withdrawals. There isn’t a hedge fund on the other side.

The only instance of Apple doing that I’m aware of is the “Search for (term)” in the terminal’s right click menu always defaulting to Safari. In every other instance, they’ve respected the defaults.

Microsoft on the other hands seems to have no boundaries, going as far as injecting ads on Chrome’s homepage[1] promoting their browser.

Anti-competitive behaviour runs deep in Microsoft. They've been doing it since their early days.
You’re right, it’s 180% and I guess extra 90% for the 622, which makes Apple’s offering a bit ridiculous IMO (60% additional charge for double the price of the 622)
A lot of them use separate domains which makes it hard to share cookies. The actual login credentials work across sites though - so a login from StackOverflow will work on ServerFault (although it will create you a new site-specific profile with zero reputation and privileges, as those are per-site).
Most? More likely than not you will not have such a card in a mainboard.
It's not about the quality of the browser. The user has a setting to choose which browser to use, and they are disregarding it for their own convenience. It's anti-consumer and anti-competitive.

The voices range from condescending to in a hurry. I don't think that was the intention :). Slowing them down might be better. Also, why are we just reading out what's written there. Why can this not be two different things. Like when I am working with a colleague, we use text to illustrate stuff and then voice to actually talk.

Were they ever different tho? I know a lot of people believed the 'MS loves open source' and similar stuff but it always felt like bait to me.
They still tried to force trough their shitty open document format, still regularly pull layers of small anticompetitive stuff. Small changes that aren't outrageous enough on their own to cause a reaction or throw out the trust they try to create but enough for me to be consistently reminded that generally their incentives and goals run counter to what I'd prefer.
Sure, but for individual users business features things don't matter, it is users that need choice.

Myself, I just want a browser that doesn't close multiple tabs when I want to close just one when tapping on a touch screen. That is one thing with Edge that irritates me to high hell, and a reason for me to switch.
