It would "penalize" those people if they owned farmland in areas where there is high demand for housing (and the land itself is valuable). The whole point is to tax all land at the value people would pay just for the land - and as a result would shift activities like farming and logging into less populated areas.

It's a fair concern, but also because property tax already includes some land tax it's not dramatically different. Those activities are already mostly done in areas where land is extremely cheap.
What I mean is your website turns into a list. Posts have a definite date, a title, a body, semantics such as a previous and next; before and after.

As a logician, do you consider this necessarily factual:

At least here in California, I'd be worried that it could get instituted with token or no reduction in other taxes. Otherwise it seems to make a lot of sense, particularly with regard to removing disincentives for development.

Type syntax started pretty easy to parse, basically just parse a C expression. It became more complex and inconsistent later (when for example types for function parameters were added), but IIRC the clockwise/spiral rule is nothing like the idea behind the syntax. I think it is too complicated / not getting the gist of it.
Completely agree. I've always thought that Excel/VBA shows you where all the short comings are with your in house systems.

Yeah. There is a whole academic and performance culture around historical music, and it's taught at music conservatoires and colleges. My wife for example plays and teaches music from the medieval, renaissance and baroque period extensively so I'm actually typing this in a room with shelves and shelves of facsimilies of scores from those periods all in original notation. With a bit of practise and training, people read this stuff just fine. From the Renaissance on there are lots of surviving treatises so we have a very good idea how they were performed etc and can in many cases be pretty confident that we're performing things pretty close to how they were done in the time.

Or recommending Apple products.)

Honestly sucks really hard. Nothing you can do because the AI is dumb and can't figure out marketing makes words appear more often.
I'm curious about this. Can you elaborate on what went wrong?
I might consider a Samsung phone if running third party ROMs on current models were possible/practical, but otherwise I’d agree.
> Sustainable Land Use

Hmmm, I don't get this point. If the incentive is to sell of develop your land what happens to "fallow" land that serves as a habitat for plants or animals? Seems like this would encourage developing land even if it's in a suboptimal location and would otherwise remain fallow, which seems less sustainable than the status quo.

I think you're conflating the terms capacity and peak production here.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the peak production makes German electricity cheap enough to make everyone around them use it when it's available. If all the neighbors used this approach too, over the course of a day it would be everybody's turn to provide energy for the neighbors as renewables production will never be zero globally.

I would guess that the nuance to that question would be the interpretation of "unfairly", no?

If you are sitting on land that is more valuable than the use you put it to, maybe you should have an incentive to put it to more valuable use?

I'm struggling to understand the value of LLM powered code search engine (there are quite a few that have come up in the last 1 yr). Help me with your answers if you see any value of such engines in searching your internal codebase and docs, what would be the number one question that you'd ask?

If you have tried any already, would love to hear your experience as well.
I find this quite surprising actually.

You'd think predicting the weather is mostly a matter of fast computation. The physical rules are well understood, so to get a better estimate use a finer mesh in your finite element computation and use a smaller time scale in estimating your differential equations.

Neural networks are notoriously bad at exact approximation. I mean you can never beat a calculator when the issue is doing calculations.

So apparently the AI found some shortcut for doing the actual computational work. That is also surprising as weather is a chaotic system. Shortcuts should not exist.

Long story short, I don't get what's going on here.
I'm about 20 years in and the first 10 years of my career as a SWE I had absolutely horrendous managers and daily checkins felt more like proving to someone that you had done any work the day prior, shaming you if you didn't produce enough.

I did find this wiki page on rent regulation in NY, it mentions something about rent control and living continuously in a place since a certain cutoff date: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_regulation_in_New_York

edit:

> Rent stabilization sets maximum rates for annual rent increases and, as with rent control, entitles tenants to receive required services from their landlords along with lease renewals. The rent guidelines board meets every year to determine how much the landlord can charge. Violations may cause a tenant's rent to be lowered.

Basically a cap on rent increases, looks like.
Or one that doesn't upset the search cash cow. Open AI for example. They seem to be inhibited by moat thinking too.
I don’t think so. This is the same thought people apply to cartridge based games for example, before software updates.

But the reality is that the same types of bugs would likely exist. Nothing about the engineering aspects has really changed other than more features. All that would happen is future revisions would have it fixed and early buyers would be stuck.
I fear the people most advocating for "liberal arts education" today are also likely to be among the most orthodox minded.

> I believe so many people think they have ADHD because of a lack of discipline

A fundamental characteristic of my ADHD is lack of discipline. I cannot force myself to do something if ADHD is getting in the way. On the rare occasions it's not, and I have initiative (a truly precious resource), it doesn't matter how much or little I enjoy the task, or how uncomfortable the task is, it's getting done.

As I'm sure you know, ADHD diagnosis, like many other diagnoses, needs two things:
1. Have at least N of M symptoms on a list.
2. Have those things have a material negative impact on your life.

> the only thing missing is forcing yourself to get shit done

...yes? Obviously?

As far as I understand it, that's the whole point. People who don't have ADHD just don't struggle with that to the point that it shapes their life, it's just an occasional annoyance that doesn't require any special effort to deal with.

The short answer is no.

The long answer requires a discussion about what you define as "fair" & the exact implementation of the tax governing the land you're talking about. This would be true of any tax though. The answer would still likely be no, though.

Many places have implemented an LVT. I suggest you look into some of them to see how the tax usually plays out in practice. In NSW, Australia, for example, farmland is exempt.
That would be me. Apologies as I didn't know about the original entry at rnikhil.

Yes! I've been thinking about this for months now. How would a normal person on the internet find information and enjoy the internet if most stuff they can find revolve around closed platforms, or SEO marketing sites.

The best way to use the internet is to distribute information for everyone to see. Yet, that's not the direction it seems to be heading towards.

I really believe that the fun part of the interner is in small sites, and I think we need more projects that try to find these small, but important corners of the internet.

Kinda naive to think that Rust could offer superior performance on a first-party platform when it can't even figure out GUIs correctly. Granted you could probably introduce a Rust/Swift FFI for logic/graphics, but that's a lot of work.

An instruction set that is supported by all major browsers sounds enticing. I have tried the hello_world demo with Emscripten a couple years ago and was stumped that the generated page had multiple megabytes. In the first example in this page, I read

This will output a pkg/ directory containing our wasm module, wrapped in a js object.

So I'm guessing that the result is the same. Why is it so? Hello world requires a print function, which I suppose needs a small subset of some implementation of libc. Why so much space? Why the need for a .js object? Shouldn't we be bypassing the JS engine?

If the land is only really useful for farming or logging, then no. You'll still get taxed on it, but because the land is relatively low-value it won't be much.

Now, if you're a farmer on the edge of Austin, and the city's growth means your land is getting increasingly valuable due to high housing demand, then your tax will go up, potentially until you're forced to give up farming and sell to developers. That's intentional, it means the land will be used for something more valuable than it's current use.

To me the key issue is the Law of Rent. It helps explain issues like Elizabeth Warren's Two-Income Trap. Why does technological progress not seem to result in overall increasing leisure and standard of living? That is why Henry George titled his book "Progress and Poverty". He was explaining that paradox using the law of rent developed by Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and proposing their solution with a megaphone.
i did that all throughout university and graduated with honors in an engineering program. it really depends on your coping strategies / personality / luck / etc. i definitely have adhd, it just took a few boring jobs for it to blow up my life in any real way. (i completely burned out, turns out relying on adrenaline as an adhd medication is not a great long term coping strategy.) some people will hit that wall earlier or later than others.

once, i accidentally dragged a lab partner into doing work the way i did. we turned in the assignment with less than a minute on the clock, and he nearly had an anxiety attack (i was feeling pretty great about things)
The market calue of the more valuable use is an incentive, whether or not there is additional incentive.

This resonates with me.

I've posted my language practice website on HN, LinkedIn, blah blah blah several places, and I can't get people to care. I've finally got some traction on slav facebook, but only just barely. Joining a web ring maybe kind of helped?

It's free, actually really free, because it's something I love and want to share. If I post it to several places and nobody clicks on it... What am I supposed to do ?? Buy ads to hopefully get people to use my _free website_? I have tried doing stuff from SEO articles -- open graph tags, descriptions and stuff. I've posted it on social media to lukewarm reception.

Someone else mentioned something like delicious. Maybe stumbleupon. Maybe this, maybe that. Maybe some federated bookmarking thing. I think there's just been a cultural shift to "if it's not on FaceBook it might as well not be on the internet", and I don't know how to get back from that. I think most people use their computers and phones as bootloaders for instagram.

What is a more valuable use than feeding people? Farmers are already incentivized to abuse their land with monocropping and industrialization in order to stay afloat even with the subsidies they already have. A land value tax would make things even worse and would probably result in outsourcing all food production to other countries.

I'll look into You.com. I gave Kagi a shot recently, paid for a month and set it as my default. To be honest, the results weren't good enough for me and I ended up cancelling my subscription. I am willing to pay that much for my search engine, but it has to do better than Google.

I use a strict adblocker, so finding what I'm looking for on the Google search results page is actually quite easy for me. I recommend checking out uBlock Origin[0] if you haven't already.

Edit: You.com is a mildly interesting product, but not what I'm looking for at all. It has more ads than Google, and the default is to send my query to OpenAI and wait for it to spit some text out. No thanks
True, and isn't the web amazing? If your website is nice, you always know exactly where you are by looking up! If only our buildings were this nice...

But seriously, what are you trying to say, that we need to make software match our contemporary physical experience? No, we can do better.
Yes. I am in my mid thirties, and live in Texas. In my youth I used to see fireflies, damselflies, bright red and black flightless wasps colloquially called ‘cow killers.’ All vanishingly rare now- I think I saw a single lonely firefly this year. There used to be so many in my neighborhood.
One of the less talked about aspects of rent stabilized apartments is how people become trapped in them.

I know people who have been living in rent stabilized apartments in NYC for decades who will never let them go, even though they no longer like the neighborhood or the unit.

They're also obsessed with pushing Snaps down the user's throat these days. The height of their attitude happened when they made firefox available ONLY as a Snap package and took it out of Ubuntu APT repository entirely! That's when I decided to bid them farewell and test out Debian and Mint which are still untainted by Snaps/Flatpaks.

> What other predictor of the future is there?

Typically, experts actually thinking about how technology works, on a deep level, does a pretty good job.

Consider for example moore's law. A trendline everyone in the know knew couldn't continue long before it eventually failed. It wasn't a case of "well there are always some naysayers, they're right sometimes", it was anyone with any reasonable experience in building chips knew that each innovation is more hard won than the last, with physical barriers looming.

Is AI like that? inevitably. There are invisible physical barriers to all fields and all technologies. The only way to find them is to try. But the discussion here is essentially hypothesising where and when they will show up. We may well be able to run an AGI. Using current techniques, it will need to be trained on a vastly more powerful compute stack than gpt4. Its difficult to impart to you just how big their current one is. They are going to have to mobilise non-trivial segments of entire industries and supply chains just to be big enough for gpt5. There will also be neat tricks that will be found to reduce requirements. But eventually, some wall will be hit, gains will slow. The bet is whether we get to AGI or whatever before then
