You seem to be either assuming that the rich are making large numbers of transactions. Consider Bill Gates and Warren Buffet as counterexamples. They're mainly holding stock and watching it go up.

I mean, a 0.1% tax on financial transactions would kill day trading, and I'm not sure anything would be lost. But if your goal is to tax the rich, then tax the rich, not financial transactions.
Thanks for writing this. It takes a deep understanding to explain such complicated concepts in an accessible way. Reading it brought back fond memories of hacking on jailbreak projects deep into the night.
Mono is still a thing, but Jellyfin uses .NET Core, which is a FOSS runtime that Microsoft provides.
If gets approved https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/ would be much better. Yes, it might require code and package changes, but if people see that having python without GIL is an option if some less used features aren't used they likely would jump on it.
As an aside, this is maddening: "Published April 8, 2021 Updated Oct. 2, 2023, 9:59 a.m. ET"

The original article is gone!

Just an constantly evolving page that likely has things deleted for reasons other than accuracy (e.g., like narrative coherency).

Just write another article! Damn!
I'm not talking about the article. I'm referring directly to the comment chain about "free" healthcare.

Regardless, taxes are NOT FREE. College will never be free, you can only pass the cost on to someone else. Somewhere, someone in the chain has to pay for it. If someone provides you a service then it gets paid for by someone. If no one pays for it then it's slavery and the people providing the service pay with their own bodies/minds.

Obviously you're not suggesting professors and people that run the university not get paid.... so who is paying for it? This isn't a hard concept and yet you keep kicking the can down the road suggesting it's free free free. Where does the money come from?
It’s not the wrong direction…

You are not describing differences between urban & suburban

Maybe you are for America specifically but most of what you described is normal in urban areas of Japan or Germany for instance
What’s the cost of this test?
We’re going to see many DNA sequencing tests being available in the near future, but I hope they’re not going to be expensive so that diagnosis and prevention can be available to all.
Easydiffusion is what I use. I jumped in way past when it was just a CLI. https://easydiffusion.github.io/
We already have that, uBlock Origin has filters for precisely that.
they use different approaches. 23andme even has a short writeup on this: https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/202904600...
There are plenty of blood tests out there that can potentially let you know whether you have cancer. Here's another one: https://www.personalgenome.com/products/elio-plasma-resolve

The thing all of these have in common is that they aren't FDA-approved, they're just CLIA assays.

Invitae's test in the original article is FDA-approved, which is no small feat. That's not easy to do and lends a lot of credence to their tech.

If Grail could get their test FDA-approved, they would have done so.
A vital organ could be designed to fail. It’s incredibly unlikely that the side effects of this vital organ failing, which almost inevitably leads to death, are advantageously evolved.

There’s no gameplan for the headless chicken.
Had a lovely experience with this a few months ago. I built a little WPF GUI as an internal tool for my company. Literally all it does is read some data from an XML file and squirt some bytes out of a serial port. I zip up a build and send it over to the production team and windows refuses to open it. It absolutely insists it's a Trojan or something. Fortunately there's an option to ignore Defender and keep doing our jobs.

I submitted the build to Microsoft for verification and it reports totally clean. Gee, thanks.

We also get Defender warnings for anything that isn't signed. We also get Defender warnings for things that are signed. Apparently we have to pay an extra couple hundred dollars a month for the "real" signing certificate. The one we already pay for apparently isn't secure enough to disable Defender warnings?

Sounds like an absolute racket to me

That’s a misrepresentation and basically using the Bay Area as a reference point. I’m in Chicago. Starting sw engineer salaries is probably around $90k-$100k. The housing nightmare exists but not as bad - depends on your school district. A good 3000 sq ft house in a suburb palatine/Arlington heights or Buffalo grove is around the $600k-$800k mark. You could obviously go smaller for a lower price.
The incomplete objects refers to when someone clicks "new" in your UI. Until it's saved back to the server, that "new" object has no ID, since you need to communicate with the server somehow to get that UUID in this approach. So now the client creates objects without IDs, so now all your models need to assume IDs are optional, and you can't create your object references on unsaved objects.
I had never heard of “stochastic terrorism” before this post. I looked it up. It’s a fringe media term that is not accepted or used in the scientific literature that basically attempts to make a tenuous connection between an extremist and whatever talking head or speaker that the person saying “stochastic terrorist” dislikes the most at that moment.

This is not a concept. This is a conspiracy theory, specifically designed to cast aspersions on the speaker and to attempt to silence the speaker’s speech or galvanize the blogger’s base against the speaker by acting like words are physically violent. Words aren’t violence. Stochastic terrorism isn’t real.
Wonder how much black market space debris contracts will cost.

C# runs natively on Linux (have done for many years now). AFAIK even on Azure people prefer to run it on Linux machines (including the place I work for). Performance wise I believe it runs equal to faster. A lot of C# devs (majority) now work on none Windows machines (they were very quick to add support for the new Mac arch as well).

TLDR; C# the language is as good or even better on none-Windows nowadays.

ever had a teen help you with a setting on your phone? their fingers FLY, they know the menus inside and out (yeah, I remember, like I used to)

The actual paper title is "Mitochondrial DNA damage triggers spread of Parkinson’s disease-like pathology": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-023-02251-4. Parkinson's is a notoriously complex disease with multiple etiologies and subtypes. While this is particularly exciting to see (I have a loved one with PD), the EurekAlert article really misses the critical "PD-like" modifier.

You should also read Devil in the White City, which is nominally about the construction of the 1893 World’s Fair but really gives you a feel for the free-for-all that Chicago architecture was in that time period.
I don't think the free-market-solves-all-ails response really works here. The issue is that the CEOs of these companies act together, essentially as a cartel. Sometimes formally [1], other times informally [2]. Labor (at least in the US) does not have anywhere close to such a level of organization, and so top-down mandates like this can impact a whole sector, without a clear place for you to go.

Among my points are that intimacy and scale are inherently at odds, and that human psychology prevents the public at scale of registering this. If there's a solution, it's going to be in the design, description (and marketing), operation, and regulation of those systems. This is a classic case of "personal responsibility" being a trope and cover for dodging corporate and engineering responsibility.

Evidence of this comes from the level and scale of information breaches: the US DoD, Department of State, Department of Justice, multiple states' attorneys general offices, the Russian Kremlin and military establishment generally (I have strong though as yet unsubstantiated belief that a key factor in Ukraine's success has been a near-total compromise of Russian communications channels). These are entities with a strong incentive to and capability for ensuring secure comms and data management ... and yet ... they're failing. The refugee family or abused mother or whistleblower ... stands little chance.

One of the criticisms of HN is that people are occasionally attacked for their expressed viewpoints, occasionally on-forum (though that's usually swiftly dealt with), more often off. I've seen some well-known and high-karma leaderboard profiles callously call for the death of entire groups of people. And there are sites which do kibbitz on "Orange Site" as they tend to call it, often criticizing its moderation or behaviours, but also conducting just the types of abuse you're describing.

HN also lacks some of the specific protections you describe. There's no private or limited spaces, direct messages, or similar mechanisms, by intent and design. There is the option of throwaway pseudonymous accounts, however, which helps somewhat.

I know trans people, I've including a couple I worked with for years and remain in contact with. Neither would ever claim that sex and gender are the same thing, because they don't have brain rot.

Gender is cultural. There are cultures with more than two genders, but they continue to have the same distribution of X and Y chromosomes because sex is biological.

It's not clear to me that rent of any sort of metaphorical capacity involves a larger number of transactions per dollar than anything else. All I can see it accomplishing is getting rid of high frequency trading and to a lesser extent day trading... Neither of which are pastimes of rich people but rather are middle class jobs of questionable yet arguable value.
I can't imagine Apple ever buying and operating an enourmous .NET application. What would they be buying then, the brand? I don't see why Apple would be interested in this at all

Watching from a distance, I think a lot of our fast progress recently is because of better tooling. Better ways to see what is happening at a microlevel, and manipulate it too.

Like someone could run endless experiments on how to "balance the four humors" perfectly and get nowhere with all these diseases, perhaps not even be able to clearly define and distinguish them from one another.

I though most implementations of attestation comes with free rate-limiting as slow as you dole out the challenges. Which I believe most people care about more than if a robot is doing it. (or cost, that's a big one)

Ever made wheat milk? It tastes sweet because wheat naturally contains water soluble sugars. They are more than enough to make the bread rise. The problem with your medieval bakery experience probably rested with too coarse grinding, too little hydrolize, not enough yeast and probably a combination of them.
Are you aware of the crostini subsystem? You can run linux apps, you have a shell, it's a vm separated from the rest of the system, but everything works like native apps. X window apps look normal. You can run anything, firefox, emacsx, dev tools.

So now you can run android apps safely and directly, you have the ubiquitious chrome browser world running, with a bunch of chrome-os things that making it a great environment for a lot of things. And you can run linux where you are root, you can do basically anything. The one limitation was recursive vms, I wonder if they enabled that yet.
Captchas have never been reliable, the whole point was just to have a mechanism that costs more to decrypt than to produce.

I think we're still there as the cost of running the models stays high, though it's subsided at this point. And I don't if we'll ever hit a point where decrypting and encrypting costs reverse.
I remember trying to figure it out. It is 93' x 93' x 1396' tall, which is 15:1, while a cigarette standing on end would be 10:1

"He is ... about as tall as a 5-year-old; his height and some humorous movements are achieved by Conway standing in a hole, with fake shoes attached above his knees."
GINA needs to be much, much stronger for me to feel safe. There's a lot of potential money to be made from genetic information.

This isn't a test for hereditary cancers. It is test for the gene's that indicate you have an increased risk for hereditary cancers. It matters as there are actual blood tests for cancer available now.
This is why I refuse to contribute in any way what so ever to AI research.

I'm in the businesses of driving calculators. Not making machines that can suffer. And I don't in any way believe that AI research is capable of advancing without what functionally serves as a suffering loop, which all it'll take is a subjective metacognitive awareness by the system of said metric and bam, you have suffering machines.

It's one thing to make a more clever calculator. Making things that can feel as an implementation detail of your BI pipeline to optimize corporate strategy is fucked. And unfortunately, I know far too many tech people of the attitude of "even if I did that, just hide it from anyone measuring, and it's all good.
Grey area depends on if you have the option to deny I think.

Equity is an outcome. You're suggesting we FORCE an outcome and apparently you don't want to base it on legacy. So, what are we basing the forced outcome on? Race? Victim-hood? Gender? Class? Are lower class people of color more deserving of equity?

How do you make something equitable? You need to think through the process of how that works. It's every bit as "fair" to gift admissions to family members as it is to someone because they're a different skin tone. Which is to say, both are stupid.

How about we give people the resources and they can prove they deserve it through merit?
Anonymous Mechatronics Company | Mechanical Engineer | West Midlands, UK | Full Time | Onsite

We're a small friendly 20 person company looking for a great mechanical engineer to help take the designs of our current range of industrial automation systems to the next level. We have customers in the pharmaceutical, automotive, semiconductor, and ophthalmic industries. All of our designs are in SolidWorks. We make a lot of bespoke machines as well as sell a range of standard machines.

We're a bit of a mess to be honest so we need someone to come in and make a big impact on this front which is where we are weakest.

Compensation would be £90,000 and 25 days holiday + bank holidays.

Please email pluses-ponds0r@icloud.com for more information and please accept our apologies for the anonymous posting.

It's not. You might not get into Ivy League school but ANYONE can take out a loan and get into a state university of a public university. Hell, a lot of colleges don't even require SAT or ACT anymore.

> artists… a small number of people

The vast majority of artists are working professionals doing the art grunt work, so it’s many more than you’d think (Millions) - not just those working for film/media/galleries. That said, these models won’t only replace artists. They can be trained to do most anything - jobs in marketing, legal, journalism, healthcare, software, etc are all at risk
It’s pretty clear you’re more interested in gotchas than discourse.

This is only true if you're talking about non-GUI apps. MAUI is trying to fix this but in my experience it has been a rocky start.

But for backend and CLI stuff totally agree, works great on Linux

> You can't bump the window on what "program" means. "Program" here doesn't mean "predictions", that's the output of the program. If you had a program that generated images, you wouldn't say that that program was the source code of the images. You would say that that program generates images and has source code

My dude… you have no idea what you’re talking about.

The picked model is the preferred way to interact and modify it. It is the source code. It is not like a compiled program. It is literally code.

I am NOT claiming the predictions are the program. I am saying the pickled model is. You 100% don’t need anything else to do anything more with the model.

I don’t know or care if they released their model generating code but nobody competent who understands what they are talking about cares about this.

It’s pickled because it’s big. Just imagine this as a zip containing algo.py
"Across the whole OS" is nothing special, it just means there hasn't been enough interest by diverse enough users of the OS. This is a research system, which is different from an OS supporting a huge diversity of ecosystems through the past 3 decades or so. There are different forces at play.

I'm sure there are quite a few systems worked on by lone developers today that make for a nice and smooth demo. The hard part is getting adoption and making it ergonomic and performant for a variety of uses, not just demo stuff.
> It shouldn't be a problem in the US. The ACA requires insurers to insure people with pre-existing conditions.

The ACA requires insurers to cover people under the age of 65 with pre-existing conditions and, more importantly, requires them to provide coverage at the same prices regardless of those conditions (they can only set price using a few pieces of information: age, zip code, smoking status, etc.). However, there are a lot of ways that insurers already skirt that second part, such as offering "discounts" to patients for certain elections which are strongly negatively correlated with various pre-existing conditions.

Furthermore, the ACA has seen a number of challenges over the last few years - most recently, the requirement to cover preventive care at no cost to the patient was struck down a few months ago. There's plenty of reason to suspect that this provision will be challenged in the future as well, and could easily be overturned.
