For me it’s selfish reasons I guess and I think it’s like that for all life. If it is indeed my reality then I’m gonna do everything and anything to make that reality work for me. But I’m a good person (definition mine) so I operate in a way that is synergy with others.

Why sit on the sidelines when I’m the main subject of the movie or book or whatever this thing my brain is rendering for me
The Current system has property tax as one revenue stream of many. Income tax brings in by far the most funds, and there are sales taxes ect.

If you retire, or loose income, people currently pay less income taxes. You can also live frugally to cut down on sales taxes.

With LVT, taxes are detached from income and spending. Your taxes are also based on the whims of others. If your neighborhood gets trendy, you tax bill might double.

What data do you have to support this?

> As of 2022, investment companies own about one-fourth of all single-family homes in the US, accounting for 22% of American homes sold, down from 80% in 2020-2021

Naturally, the homes bought are all in the most densely populated areas with a relatively new construction (gentrified neighborhoods). I think it's gonna be a couple years before prices drop.
Yes. My apologies for the typo.

No, I commented on my own comment as the same person. I'm not surprised but I am disappointed to see the response as downvotes rather than actual engagement with the question and its implications. It's almost like people want to shape the Overton window to avoid this kind of discussion, ie, to put the blinders on themselves and others.

YC's reputation depends on and is justified by its investment portfolio. Its investments are not justified by its reputation.
You could easily incentivize the behavior you want:

- a delay or cap on taxes for first time/single home owners; to make it not so punishing if you're just buying it to live there

- a number of properties below which the tax isn't applied or is reduced; to allow people to build equity in their house and maybe a vacation home or two, but stops someone from owning 5+ homes and locking up all the supply

- a tax that applies more heavily to corporate owners of residential homes; to keep the Blackrock's of the world from snapping up significant amounts of residential homes for padding their portfolios. Could even apply to LLCs of a certain size.

We just need to get creative!
I disagree that these are just people who are well-informed. The frequency and rapid follow up comments by these shills/power users make it nearly impossible for these people to be doing anything else--it's clearly their full-time job. More likely, it's a shared account that some public affairs/relations company shares and they get alerts via keywords and immediately reply. It's very clearly a highly organized machine.

Not just directly taking them but all of the associated compliance and legal issues.
Whenever something is taxed, less of it is produced. In the case of LVT, the tax is on land that is in a desirable location with lots of nearby amenities. LVT encourages urban sprawl by punishing retail, industrial, and residential concerns that choose to agglomerate with higher taxes. LVT means less walkable cities and more LA style sprawl.

^ this. In Queensland, Australia, your family home (principal place of residence) is exempt and any other property gets no land tax up to a certain personal land holding value ($600k?). Once you go over the threshold, it's a percentage of value.
True.

- Builders, truck drivers, plumbers and miners do get paid a lot in Australia. Miners are typically paid a lot more than even the best software developers.

- Australia's economy is founded on immigration and a constant influx of wealthy foreigners are propping up the property market which inflates property prices and rents... Especially in big cities where developers are forced to live for jobs.

- It's almost impossible to get funding in the software industry. The very few channels of funding available in large urban centers are extremely risk-averse and seem artificial. By the time you qualify to get funding, you already don't need it anymore.

It's a perfect storm. Almost as if all the economic forces were specifically aligned to maximize harm against software developers. I had actually left for Europe (which has its own issues) but after the big crypto crash, I had to come back and it was even worse than when I left because now there were many immigrants competing for tech jobs and driving down wages and those same immigrants also helped to drive up house prices and rents... Double slap in the face.
No. The way taxes work is first you work out how much taxes need to collect, then you work out how much weight everyone has afterwards and split it all up according to that weight. This plan plans to reduce the weight of property and more than double the weight for land.

it smells a little bloated

there's certainly operations that are leaner than that. a little down the thread there's people saying they could build bandcamp in a weekend, which is probably fanciful but also not completely off base. just on a pure technology level, bandcamp seems like a 3-4 developer sort of project. so they've got ~110 people running sales and support?
Kinda like Patreon?
Who has these labels? And if they did, how would they enforce it? How would a checkout counter know what price you were offered by some random computer sitting on a shelf?
Munis pay lower rates than taxable bonds so tax free status is a wash.
Is it? I can tell you now, I have no difficulty asserting that the value is near zero for the depreciating, crumbling houses on top of most of the land in the Mission in San Francisco. All the appreciation, which means nearly all of the sales price, of a typical home here, is the land.

BuT rEnNoVaTiOnS. Listen, I’m not trying to give you a comprehensive answer. I’m just trying to show that it’s not by far the biggest difficulty, not in the places LVT is most impactful, such as cities with extremely high vacancies like San Francisco.
Like I said, they're not that hard to reverse engineer so you might as well just give them up
There are twos of us
When you say "...home you spent decades paying for..." it comes across like you are implying that the money you spent is somehow disappearing or being stolen. However, if the land value taxes have dramatically increased, then that means that the value of your property has dramatically increased, so you can sell for a dramatic profit.

It would still suck to have to sell, but it's not nearly as dark as you seem to be suggesting.

Very high-tech launch mechanism

Sounds like you can do it better. Why not whip something up this weekend? Seems like an opportune time to compete with Bandcamp.
Most people I know who are younger than Boomers plan to someday retire, and so they too will benefit when that time comes.
It very much is the government's job to deal with tragedy of the commons situations. It's arguably it's only job, outside of contract enforcement and national defense.
That doesn't have anything to do with self-defense. Bullets are usable to defend against an otherwise deadly attack. An air nailer, a hammer, and a box cutter can be misused, should we ban those without solving the human social or policing problems?
> The rational choice is to sell.

If you as the owner are already wealthy 'enough', then that is not necessarily the rational choice. It depends how much you care about the future of the business.

In my dreams, if I ran such a noble business, I would hope that I'd have managed to extract enough value from the business to arrange for my own pension by the time others want to acquire it, so I can reject their offers and keep control to safeguard the business's integrity.

On the other hand, we are human. If the acquiring party makes an absolutely life-changing offer, it may be hard to resist. The story of Nullsoft and AOL comes to mind.
They factor in both your improvements and all the improvements around you.

If if someone in your neighborhood repaints their house, your land becomes more desirable. This is true for you and others!

Using AI to Read the Room
I’m unaware of anything on Bandcamp that is remotely as useful to me as the auto-built playlists and artist/song radio tools in Spotify. That there’s “a lot” of music on either platform is meaningless if the tools to find things I’d like don’t work for me.

I get the compensation model sucks for artists. I try to buy things from bands I like. But ultimately, if artists don’t like the Spotify model, they should pull their music - but I’m going to continue to use a platform that gives me access to everything I’d ever want to hear for like, $10/mo.
> For instance, if a language's garbage collector goes from annoyingly slow to basically invisible, it wouldn't be surprising for the preferred paradigm to change.

Funny you give that as an example - I recall attending a talk round the turn of the century about using Java in real-time systems, and a big stickler at the time was the GC. I haven't kept up with Java (or real-time systems), but given the inroads the JDK VM has made in the embedded space, I wouldn't be surprised at all if something changed enough to make the GC not an issue for (some) real-time systems any more.
Thanks, I've been training! ;)
Bouncing Signals Off Stars: A Primer on Non-Terrestrial Network Communications
After that, impression tracking just needs to start covering some of that gap of air between your brain and the screen. Let's throw in some attention-detecting cameras so you can't skip the ads by looking away from them.
Giving investors a greater incentive to build big things is the exact point
Another benefit is that it encourages more efficient use of land. Existing taxes mean that if you demolish a high density retail strip and replace it with a McDonald’s or Walmart with large parking lot/drive thru, the tax income plummets while the cost to maintain the roads and plumbing remains the same.
I’m not sure what the experience is with other niche genres of music but I’ve found more black and death metal on Bandcamp in the past month than has ever been recommended to me elsewhere. I get the impression that HN posters who don’t use Bandcamp just see it at some place where a band can make a MySpace profile - but it has a serious network effect going on.

For instance, the label 20 buck spin, has a boat load of artists on there. For metal, their profile page on Bandcamp is worth more than a 100 algorithmic playlists on Spotify.

https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/

I hope Bandcamp can survive this layoff. It is a real resource for music lovers and artists, not a glorified front end for flacs on S3.
The difference is that someone created the products that I own and I payed them for it. However, no one (at least no one human depending on your religious beliefs) created the land.
I think the thing that helped the most is we built great relationships with our small clients. We convinced them to let us observe their day to day, speak to staff etc. From that we got an intimate idea of all their biggest pain points and we were able to offer complimentary products that worked with their existing core banking (and abstracted it wherever possible). Things like secure communications, document management, form builders - things we were planning on building after our core banking but were actually a bigger pain point for them. It made such a difference to the actual staff that they would be bragging about us at conferences and networking events. Eventually the word spread in the community/industry and soon enough the big clients went from ignoring our calls to asking for "exactly what they have" (referring to the small clients who took the risk innovating).

TLDR: Try starting with easier to sell, complimentary products. Focus on the smaller clients as they're more willing to innovate. Do such a good job that they can't help but brag.
> Point me to a resistant monopoly or cartel and I will show you a government granted/supported one.

Microsoft famously made deals with laptop vendors to prevent Dell, HP, and so on from selling computers with any operating system other than Windows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundling_of_Microsoft_Windows

Similarly, Intel stifled AMD by providing financial incentives to vendors who offered no AMD-based products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices,_Inc._v....

Were those government supported monopolistic behaviors? Does the "free market" mean that a competitor could have simply made one company that produced an entire laptop, OS, and CPU from scratch to provide the consumer a cheaper choice?

Why would the "free market" lead to vibrant competition, rather than monopolistic hoarding of power?
I hope they do try it. If they do, one of two thing will happen. Either it will fail dramatically, in which case the LVT muppets can finally shut up about it... or it will succeed, all of our cities will migrate to this new utopian taxation scheme, and the LVT muppets can finally shut up about it.
This is fantastic progress. I actually like Nvidia, but anything that levels the playing field and encourages competition here would be a big win.

coal burner is really a neutral reference that makes a note of race. Your interracial group of friends could say "she's melting snow" or "burning coal" with just a smile, no slur. I've only ever heard the term used in a friendly way. People frequently giggle about sexual matters.

Of course, if a racist makes any racial reference, it's generally racist.
The market does by pricing the land at a certain value

This article does not deliver at all on its purported topic. It is an interview with a veterinarian who, in response to one question, says vaguely:

"Related studies in this field—including recent, large-scale studies, have shown that health and behavioural outcomes are as good or better when nutritionally sound vegan diets are used. To safeguard health, it is important that pet guardians feed only commercial diets labeled as nutritionally complete, produced by reputable companies with good standards."

The article mostly argues that we should want dogs and cats to have vegan diets for environmental reasons, and suggests people should risk their pets' health for the sake of the environment.
- There are deeper problems with valuing land. Land values in cities are directly related to approved zoning (i.e. what you are allowed to build), so the city government can rezone neighborhoods and unilaterally alter the land values the residents pay tax on. This may not agree with everyone's view of fairness.

- LVT encourages building tall and is hostile to lowrise development and unbuilt/green spaces. Those policy preferences may not be shared by everyone.

>> Of course, most present systems of property taxation are subject to the exact same issue.

This is not really true. There are constant sales of building+land in cities and estimating building+land values can reasonably be done.

In a city bare land almost never trades.So you have to extract land values from building+land sales, which is much much harder and possibly impossible to do fairly.

Part of an abstract from referenced articles:

> Even though we are able to increase accuracy on MATH, our results show that accuracy remains relatively low, even with enormous Transformer models. Moreover, we find that simply increasing budgets and model parameter counts will be impractical for achieving strong mathematical reasoning if scaling trends continue. While scaling Transformers is automatically solving most other text-based tasks, scaling is not currently solving MATH. To have more traction on mathematical problem solving we will likely need new algorithmic advancements from the broader research community.[1]

My grandparents turned on Gunsmoke and slept in front of the TV. Turn it off, and they woke up.
I also refuse to use streaming services, and prefer to curate my own music - but for me, it's less about algorithmic suggestions, and more about actually owning the things I've paid for.

A streaming service or an artist can pull music from a service (see Neil Young), but they ain't going to be reaching into my hard drives and pulling the mp3s out of it.
Thanks for checking out the paper! Just to clarify in case there was any misunderstanding, recursive summarization is just one part of the memory management in MemGPT: as you mentioned, in MemGPT the conversation queue is managed via recursive summarization, just like in prior work (and many chatbot implementations). However there is also a (read/write) "pinned" section of "LLM memory" that's unrelated to recursive summarization, we call this "working context" in the paper. So MemGPT has access to both recursive summaries (generated automatically), as well as working context, which MemGPT actively manages to keep up-to-date.

These are both separate from MemGPT's external context, which is pulled into the conversation queue via function calls. In all our examples, reads from external context are uncompressed (no summarization) and paginated. MemGPT receives a system alert when the queue summarization is triggered, so if MemGPT needs to keep specific details from the conversation queue it can write it to working context before it's erased or summarized.

In the conversational agent examples, working context (no summarization, and separate from the conversation queue) is used to store key facts about the user and agent to maintain consistent conversation. Because the working context is always seen by the LLM, there's no need to retrieve it to see it. In doc QA, working context can be used to keep track of the current task/question and progress towards that task (for complex queries, this helps MemGPT keep track of details like the previous search, previous page request, etc.).
As more stuff moves to the web and into Chrome, it's getting out of control of Microsoft. Someday if that continues something like a Chromebook will become equivalent or better than a Windows computer. I think they want at least a bit of ownership of the web and some type of alternative somehow. Like how Steam/Valve supports Linux as protection against Microsoft.
The housing shortage is the result of under-building over the past fifteen years, exacerbated by labor shortages in the construction industry and trades. On the land side of the equation, the problem is zoning not bad tax incentives. LVTs could move the housing supply needle in some locales but if you want to increase the supply of housing there are bigger dragons to slay.
I always though the point of the title was that the ultimate good guys wouldn’t use a weapon like Zakalwe.
