That’s interesting. Why is land tax not a cost that’s passed on to the consumer while all other costs do?

Typically inelastic goods mean that prices can increase because demand will not drop as prices go up.
The harshness of the punishments and strictness of enforcement are not the relevant dimensions: the legitimacy of them is.

El Salvador is very likely committing extrajudicial killings and imprisoning people without anything resembling fair trials. Again, this will have the intended effect in the short term and will very likely not in the long term.

For example, why does MS-13 et al exist anyway? Well, as consequence of the Salvadoran Civil War which was kicked off in part due to extrajudicial killings that the government at that time was using to maintain control over a brittle society!

You’re just seeing a repeat of the same cycle that produced the violent gangs in the first place. The problem will re-emerge and I’m sure we’ll have another proposal to do “the simple thing” and just go imprison and execute a bunch of people extrajudicially. Maybe it’ll work that time.
You have millions of years worth of training data. The model is just pruned, tuned, and specialized. More importantly, you have a lot of control over the tuning process.

It's been late several times, and I've had to remind and pester. I started working with them full-time in December, they pay every two weeks, the mid-week payment has been late a few times. But I said 'this is now my full time wage, so I need to be paid before the 1st because of bills'. So there was never an issue with that one until this month. I sent a reminder the day before, which was ignored. Then, as warned, all my bills bounced. Three days into the month and nothing still.

I suspect they're not happy with something (this happened once before I was full-time, I knocked the money off for a single task that they weren't happy with, which was something I know I'm not good at, but tried anyway). But like... you can't play those games with someone's full time salary. It's insane to think that's okay.

> which lost almost 1/3 of its value against the USD over the past two years

Two years ago on this day the exchange rate was ~1.2 USD per 1 EUR, today it is ~1.1, so the loss is ~9%. The current exchange rate is nothing extraordinary, and has been hit many times in the past years/decades.
Exactly. In other words, the post could have just continued with C++ and shown a better way to do it in the same language.
Medic | Software Developer on the Infrastructure team | Full-time | Global/Remote | https://medic.org/

We're a non-profit organization working to provide tooling for community health projects. Our team focuses on developing the Community Health Toolkit, a suite of open-source components, but primarily an offline-first web application.

Here’s a quick list of some of the exciting aspects of our work:

- An offline-first mobile-first web app. Many healthcare workers we serve may go multiple weeks without a network connection.

- Our software must be usable on underpowered hardware, which is common for those using it. Client-side performance improvements can make a significant impact.

- We provide a platform where locally-customizable apps are built with. Backwards compatibility is critical, as is careful thought for new capabilities.

The Software Developer on the Infrastructure team will work with teammates and help us support by engineering, managing, and maintaining our hosting platform and infrastructure, allowing secure and scalable hosting. They will also be central to the future development of our services, looking for continuous improvement to the platform and supporting the rollout of new features and releases to keep our partners and us at the cutting edge of what we do.

The largest egg producer in the country wasn't impacted by the bird flu at all, but they still jacked up their prices like crazy and pulled in a 718% increase in profit over last quarter because they thought people would bend over and accept it since they had that flu outbreak excuse.

I'm not saying bird flu played zero role in the price increases seen in stores, many producers were legitimately impacted, but that doesn't mean that people, already suffering from high prices, weren't being taken advantage of at every opportunity because of simple avarice.

"Cal-Maine Foods, the nation’s largest producer of eggs, reported this week that its revenues doubled and its profit surged by 718% in the last quarter as a nationwide egg shortage has sent prices soaring...Cal-Maine, which controls about 20% of the national egg market, reported a net income of $323.2 million, a seven-fold rise from the same quarter last year...The company has said that its egg production facilities have been spared the wrath of avian flu, the contagion that has forced farms to cull more than 58 million chickens and turkeys since the outbreak spread in early of last year."

Because you can keep tracking how long things actually take. And then divide by the gold stars, to see how much time you actually need for a golf star.

And that number might change over time and that’s okay, and you can keep tracking it.

It’s a bit of a mind trick.

Instead of thinking: “How long will this ticket take?” you think: “Is this rather as complex as the 3 star tickets I did in the past, or is it as complex as the 5 star tickets? “

You estimate in terms of other tickets, not in terms of time.

It helps to remove bias.

China does not have aspirations for Yuan to become a world reserve currency, because that would imply opening their economy to outside investors and run deficits. They want to retain control over their economy while decreasing their exposure to the dollar, so what they do is try to trade in Yuan with their direct trade partners, and any trade imbalances to be settled using gold via the Shanghai stock exchange gold futures contract.

> But economics teaches us when a player overcharges, others will step in to undercut and take all the market share.

1. They will all reluctantly increase the prices, testing waters.

2. And as long as their stuff sells, they will keep rising them.

3. Eventually consumers will get fed up with their preferred brands screwing them over and start switching.

4. Aggressive sales will start to pop up, making the consumers reconsider.

5. Eventually the sales will taper off with new prices established.

Most customers will stay loyal to their brand(s). Some will switch.

Mark Blyth is definitely one of the most clear-sighted economists of today.
I doubt it. The ultimate consequence of this endeavour is that a program that takes an int as input and produces an int as output would then have the type a:A->B(a). For example, a program P that for a given n produces the n-th prime number would express this in its type signature. Another program using that as a sub-function and doing p=P(n) could never reach the state where p is not the n-th prime number, the type system would be able to express that, and the type checker would need to be able to validate it. Etc. etc.

A type checker would amount to an automatic correctness proof, which in its full generality is impossible (by halting problem), but for the practically interesting classes could be done using a theorem prover / proof assistant and the occasional hint from the programmer. That would be great to have, but none of the examples you mention is anywhere close.
> MongoDB is one of the most successful open-source databases of all time.

It used to be open source. It's not anymore

> The parent company is a listed company and worth $15BN, 3x more than Elastic to put some perspective.

That's purely a capitalistic argument and makes no difference to whether the product is any good. For example, there's plenty of "churches" that are richer than MongoDB Inc. and absolutely abhorrent and evil.

> This comes with trade-offs.

The only thing that required the trade-off of data loss was cheating in benchmarks in order to hoodwink naive potential users into using their dangerous product. MongoDB Inc. has always preferred to lie to their users. It is not a database company; it's a marketing company with a product they label as a database. And that's a smart way to make money, sure, because of vendor lock-in, but it's not a smart way to gain trust.
No one is forcing you to smoke either, but there’d be armies of marketing teams with huge budgets encouraging you and your kids try if it were unregulated. I can recommend Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis if you want the long answer.
Adding the time limit and actually making the clock go faster when a player is (purposefully) going off the rails is a sinister trick to ensure that players get the expected ending message. Clever that the programmer throught of these cases.

Yes, but then again… it’s 2023, and this happened in 2021 in broad daylight, in front of us all. We had an impeachment which proved the point, a bipartisan investigation that proved the point — Donald Trump was responsible for Jan 6. Now it’s in the hands of a special counsel who I hope will do his duty, but so many have withered before.

I guess my point is, going after the low hanging fruit is all the criminal justice system is able to do. I look forward to the day my mind is changed.
The problem Microsoft is creating for itself is that with these kind of antics, they will _never_ land any developers using their browser. That's hundreds of millions of users they're spitting in the face directly.

Second, them constantly being in the news about peddling the Bing search engine also doesn't help. Most people like and prefer Google (and when I say most, I mean the 95% percentile), so if they read news like, "Microsoft is showing Bing ads on Google pages" - you can rest assured nobody is going to use Edge because at the back of they minds they will be thinking, "Hmm, does this mean my Google experience will be disturbed with this browser?".

I think I lost some gray matter just typing that out and reflecting on how stupid Microsoft is.

Apple and Google own the mobile market together. There's not one player that owns almost all of it like that did with Windows (and still do really).

Well its great if you love being spied upon, Edge is filled with spyware tools which Microsoft tries to make you enable with dark patterns each time you update windows.
I know I'm comparing a turd sandwich to a puke pancake here, but in what way is "Apple doesn't allow other browser engines" less anti-competitive than what MS is doing?
For example, Bing Chat is not available without using Edge, right?
I’m not the only one who thinks there is something missing though. That simplification does work to show how to get from A to B, but I don’t think it is analogous when we don’t really understand how we go to human intelligence. None of us were there. All I am saying is that simplifying even mammalian intelligence down to just an LLM doesn’t explain much to me. It might be the case that old 70s math proofs from NASA evolve into a mechanical intelligence maybe? I just personally think that isn’t the case. Humans run on a lot less overall power (though biological necessities like bathrooms and food are real), we also can learn even from less text than a machine and infer from experience. That might not convince you, or you might have your own ideas about what intelligence is.
> Microsoft needs to think hard how hostile they want to be to its competitors and users, because two people can play this game. I don't get Microsoft, have they no pride or desire to become a great company? Have they just become content to be an old corporate software house who only manages to keep users through dark patterns and anti-competitive behaviour because they have given up on making products which people enjoy to use?

You're talking about this like Microsoft ever did anything differently than what you wrote? Since when have they focused 100% on just building great products and competing fairly?

Microsoft has a loooong history of the behavior they still have, nothing is new here. Forcing people to use Microsoft EdgeXplorer? They been doing this since the very creation of their own browser.

Don't act all surprised when a company who have been acting one way, continues to act that very way still.
On the upside, I guess this means the expected global repercussions should the US default on June first will likely be less dire than many expect.

While I do not have any A100 handy right now I have an instance running on Genesis Cloud with 4x RTX 3090.

A quick, very unscientific, test using the oobabooba/text-generation-webui with some models I tried earlier gives me:

* oasst-sft-7-llama-30b (spread over 4x GPU): Output generated in 28.26 seconds (5.77 tokens/s, 163 tokens, context 55, seed 1589698825)

* llama-30b-4bit-128g (only using 1 GPU as it is so small): Output generated in 12.88 seconds (6.29 tokens/s, 81 tokens, context 308, seed 1374806153)

* llama-65b-4bit-128g (only using 2 GPU): Output generated in 33.36 seconds (3.81 tokens/s, 127 tokens, context 94, seed 512503086)

* llama (vanilla, using 4x GPU): Output generated in 5.75 seconds (4.69 tokens/s, 27 tokens, context 160, seed 1561420693)

They all feel fast enough for interactive use. If you do not have an interface that streams the output (so you can see it progressing) it might feel a bit weird if you often have to wait ~30s to get the whole output chunk.

Previously a lot of carrier would lock down the ability to share a phone's internet connection. This was the main reason cellular hotspot devices existed. Nowadays people just use their phone are we're all better off. Would be great if Framework released a module for it though, it's slightly more convenient that connecting through your phone.
It is passed on to the consumer but the consumer in this case is the landlord not the renter.

There are two markets with two types of consumer here:

1) The market for a roof over your head. This is highly (but not completely) inelastic. People need somewhere to live.

2) The market for property as an investment. Higher taxes on an asset disincentivizes ownership of that asset. This is elastic because there are tons of other asset classes you can pour surplus wealth into.

Effectively a land value tax already exists for renters - in demand locations have higher rents. The "tax receipts" just dont flow into government coffers.
