Funny you should ask; someone interviewed me about a few of my esolangs for their dissertation last year and referenced the Glass Bead Game.

> After the recent few years of inflation middle class is now subject to higher tax brackets than ever, and poverty class is being taxed at almost 30% if you include some states' state tax.

Under the 2023 tax codes, a single filer in California would have to have an household income of $118,250 in order to see a 30% effective tax rate across federal and state taxes combined. I understand $118k might not go as far as it used to (depending on the specific location), but that's hardly the "poverty class". Under the same conditions, a $50,000 income would see an 18.84% effective rate.

Both calculations assume the standard deduction is used; common tax credits and deductions would bring the effective rate lower. These were calculated using: https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator

I don't disagree with the premise that taxes, both federally and at state levels, could be more progressive than they already are, ceteris paribus. Property and sales taxes are broken in this regard, and the obscenely wealthy have too many pathways to avoid contributing meaningfully to the nation's collective tax burden.

I paid my college tuition with my Discover card (back in the mid-90s). I was waiting in line at the student loan office, with my stack of paperwork, when I glanced over and saw a Discover kiosk in the student center. I filled out an application, and in about 10 minutes I had covered my tuition for the semester. I just kept charging my tuition to my Discover card. When I hit the limit, I called them and they bumped it. I probably paid more, but at least I didn't have to deal with the god damn student loan process. Ugh.
And here I thought the paid subscription to a newspaper with journalists was how I got my news.

chat is the new ui..imagine going to a bank website and you just enter in the chat - I need to view transactions and pause my debit card. It may then create an action list, and take you to the two links in order, without needing to find a button, or link. That saves a lot of time... In the future with AGI/SGI, though... well -- AI can be the entire app... you want a tax software with the look/feel of quickbooks or same exact functionality no problem... you want a 3d ai avatar that has all those things but interacts via speech, just ask for it... you want a VR version of the original 8bit legend of zelda - just ask.

Any software will just be created without any care for frameworks, platform, hosting, etc... it'll be hosted in the 'brain' of the ai.

Why thanks for the suggestion, that’s very kind. I just read it - in fact I think I read this early on in my research on scruffies v neats.

My takeaway now is the same, sadly. It’s not so much that I disagree with his premises that I find his whole attitude and conclusion to be a preposterous artifact of ego inflation after helping found a line of research that was much more productive than people thought it would be. I get it, that’s very exciting, but I need way more evidence than that to completely abandon self-conscious structured reasoning in my conception of a good AGI, much less the human mind. Like this:

This is a big lesson. As a field, we still have not thoroughly learned it, as we are continuing to make the same kind of mistakes.

This is just arrogance. You don’t see this among philosophers or social scientists, who recognize that rhetoric is more than the cherry on top of science, and that this sort of confidence is dangerous. To see “designing things by hand” as a categorical “mistake” is just… that’s a hot take.

But either way we’re all on the same side. Despite my harsh words I’m glad he helped pave the way LLMs, which are the biggest unexpected breakthrough in our lifetimes IMO. Which understandably makes people confident

They only need the server's public key to encrypt it client side. But if all you want is to see if they're spying on you, you could go one step above and see if they're calling system APIs to your mic/camera/keyboard, instead of observing the network activities.
Sure, that's why I added the disclaimer. I'm just trying to help Fricken out with some good brownie recipes.

Google lists dozens of recipe sites when I search for "brownie recipes" and honestly, how many different ways can you change a basic brownie recipe. So I'm sure almost any of them will do. Any seems like reasonable result. I'm not sure what algorithm Google should use to pick the best or most reliable recipe site.

I just happen to know, having cooked many of SKs recipes, that they are good recipes that almost anyone can follow.
I say its cynical mainly because in this context it was an alternative reason based on a distrust of the system and an assumption that there are ulterior motives.

I do actually think the cynical explanation is more likely, but the government isn't going to tell is they're limiting late fees to make sure we keep racking up more consumer debt.

This won't stop them and the respite from "ChatControl" is only temporary. This isn't over, they will try again and again. It'll come back under a different name, just like Google keeps coming up with tracking initiatives when they're shut down. They just perk it up, add some 'privacy safeguards' and a cool new branding, perhaps find some way to tie it in to the latest scandal in the news, and try again and hope the next one sticks.

It's not even a conspiracy, there's just a huge lobby profiting from this and they will keep pushing. It's business.

And this was far from a decisive victory. It came very close to being implemented, unlike previous attempts. This was already attempt 2 and that's in this particular push only https://european-pirateparty.eu/chatcontrol-the-sequel-nobod...

Ps I don't really understand the downvotes. I don't think I'm saying anything untoward. And in EU privacy circles (which I follow strongly) the feeling is very much "we won this battle but not the war". I'm not complaining, just wondering.

Don't forget here in Europe freedom isn't as huge a selling point as it is in the US. And even that has made several attempts over the years including the infamous clipper chip.

In the 1980s, the US experienced roughly three disasters a year that did at least $1 billion in damage.

Yeah - I just never feel like I truly have the time or I guess the motivation to keep up to date with those OS updates or releases. I only got Windows for my personal laptop just recently, and it still somehow feels completely natural to me. Despite the last one I seriously used frequently being Windows XP. I don't know if it's just because I spent most of my youth on Windows, and I was tuned to it or not, but MacOS feels like something I'm constantly fighting with.

The only terrible thing about Windows is development, but right now it feels like I'm almost satisfied with WSL2. In the past for my side projects I used to do dualboot.

But also I somehow like Windows design and animations so much better.
Another thing about MacOS I can't get hang of is the menubar below and how the windows adjust to it. And it is especially confusing with multiple monitors setup.

I've been trying to "Wing It" to understand MacOS a lot, which I admit, and it hasn't really worked, but it feels like Windows works for me without putting in effort or having to watch any YouTube videos. And I don't think in my youth I watched any tutorials, it's just something that I learned naturally. Then is it my age, but I wasn't that old when I started with MacOS.

Something like even the "Finder" icon bothers me. What is this weird happy, artsy smile, and why can't it just be something that resembles folders? It's just so random, everything about MacOS feels so "random" for me.

Plenty of icons I can't understand, and sometimes the hover text appears on what they mean, sometimes it doesn't. Idk.

The physical memory modules might not be interchangeable, but JEDEC is still extremely important to hardware and firmware engineers. It gives us a baseline - we know anything that says "JEDEC" will play nice with our SoC's QSPI/DDR peripherals.
People typically choose low-paying careers because higher-paying ones are inaccessible to them or they value something else more than money. They buy the less expensive product because they don't make a lot of money and then keep it until it dies because they don't make a lot of money.
Cert pinning protects against compromised certificate authorities. There are hundreds of trusted root certificates in most operating system stores so one of them gets breached every once and a while.

Integrity checking is user-hostile, but certificate pinning can be good for users.
> Realistically though, banks make all of their money from the interest on the cards and the late fees are icing on the already overflowing extravagant cake.

Standard accounting principles make it much more black and white. The banks' financials already account for late fees taken in. Removing the late fees alone would decrease revenue and hurt financial projections. They either eat this out of the kindness of their hearts, or more likely find other ways of taking a similar amount of money from customers or merchants.

I'm curious about graph algorithms that are "higher order" than what the article describes - e.g. how does Datalog encode the fact that two graphs (given as two relation sets) are isomorphic? How do I write a graph isomorphism algorithm in Datalog, or e.g. enumerate all graphs that have 6 vertices?
Legacy carmakers are caught on the back foot, for sure, but EV technology is still so early in its modern incarnation that I wouldn't count them out quite yet. In significant, non-urban markets, gas/hybrid is still the dominant technology.

Not to mention: BYD car sales are substantially subsidized as part of China's own push for energy independence. The prices you see in these articles are often Chinese market prices, translated to USD - they're mis-representative.

Don't get me wrong, they are going to give legacy carmakers stiff competition, but these headlines often gloss over critical details.

It seems to be a common problem everywhere though. News services all over the world are increasingly paywalling their content. There's discussions about AI scraping it for free.

The approach Australia took was somewhat unique though other countries proposed it too. But the problem does exist everywhere.

I don't think paywalls are the solution either though. I'm not going to sign up for a subscription if I find an article linked on HN and can't read it. That's just nuts. Who invests in a whole news platform because of one or a handful of articles?

Kagi has tried a few different AI solutions, and now this integration with a different search engine. I think what I want is just a redoubled focus on improving search results (not quick answers) while maintaining or improving confidentiality.

If they announce that my monthly payments are going up, and I suspect it's because they're paying for partnerships with services I don't view as core to the product value that brought me in, I would feel cheated. And if they add those integrations and don't charge more, I'd have to wonder about that too: are they trading something for the integrations, or are they charging me too much?
TCP would be fun. "Oh I missed this packet" there goes another thousand years.
You have better fraud protection with a credit card and you can generally get better kickbacks (some fraction of merchant fees - Amazon Prime credit cards have 5% kickbacks meaning if you buy something for $100 with it, you get $5 back).

>> They are already charging as much as the market will bear

As Telcos discovered, they only advertise a base price. If you ask for the full price you'll owe, they wont tell to you. You'd need to be a lawyer and read the 15 pages of fine print to figure it out. Then, you get stuck in a 2yr contract, get the first bill, and discover all sorts of things like the "Regulatory Recovery Fee" and the "Emergency Surcharge"
> There is no benefit to having these symbols

Hard disagree. Which do you find more readable?

-b/(2a) + 1/(2a) √(b²-4ac)

or

(plus (minus (div b (times 2 a)) (times (div 1 (times 2 a)) (sqrt (minus (pow b 2) (times 4 a c))))))

or

plus(minus(div(b, times(2,a)), times(div(1, times(2,a)), sqrt(minus(pow(b,2), times(4, a, c))))))

APL just has a small handful of symbols with really simple definitions and, heck, you already know what +, -, ×, and ÷ mean. Scheme actually has a ginormous dictionary by comparison, and in practice you do need to read the manual anyway, so discovery is a moot point.

APL is actually simpler in that regard in practice, and the gains you get in readability from the symbols are just like above. Better yet, though, which of the above do you immediately think, "that 1/(2a) can be factored out"? Oh, and here's APL for the above:

(-b÷2×a) + (1÷2×a)×((b*2)-4×a×c)*1÷2

Quickly empowering your brain to spot high-level patterns across your codebase like that is a huge strength of APL.
That's a much bigger problem than CC late fees.

We can't legislate this away. If that's the problem we're chasing, a better approach might be investing in better financial education or decreasing the wealth gap.

I think this is overall a positive and good approach to control climate change. 1. It targets methane which has a huge short term effect on global warming vs CO2 2. It doesn't blame or target consumers with high annoyance, low value solutions like paper straws. 3. It reduces waste. We shouldn't be wasting natural gas, it's a valuable resource, and it may be economically viable to use even minor resource pockets in the future. 4. Companies shouldn't be able to freely pollute, including long term flaring, if it's so simple to cap these things. 5. This is something that's actually measurable and trackable. Analysts can identify the top 100,000 sites and governments and NGOs can go down the list to close / capture them and also show progress publically.
I'd be pretty concerned about integrating a tool like LLMs that are known to be flakey into a more complex product. Seems like we're asking for trouble there.
One day, an AI will generate a truly groundbreaking research paper, and nobody will read it because they've seen too many bogus ones.

The NL have contributed massively. I never meant that they didn't, I was selecting some powerful, random countries with still untapped resources to counter your comment that implied weakness. It was not at all my intention to diminish their contributions (consider that I didn't even mention those of Poland and the Baltics; even though I hate using GDP for this, but that is another discussion...): Again, my point was that, relative to what I imagine Europe's real military might is, it has not even really gotten started compared to what we could be doing, if only we weren't so scared of nukes. Just think of how we could have annihilated the soft target that was the disorganized 64 km Kyiv convoy, back in 2022. A quick search yielded that we have 1703 fighter jets in the EU-28, let alone the large warships, and who knows how many other assets. If we declared war (I'm not a lawyer, but it would easy to prove casus belli, and have jus ad bellum, given Russia's literal aggression and genocide). We could be attacking them along their entire (gigantic) border all the way to the east that they couldn't possibly hope to defend being so spread out. It would look totally different than the "weak" image we are projecting now because we aren't at war.

Sweden is not yet in NATO. They are on the verge of it, with Orban signing approval today, but Hungary has not yet formally submitted their instrument of ratification. Details matter when correcting people.

That's all based on perspective, but yeah I would expect plenty of people to find my life peculiar.

There are alternatives to credit cards, including debit cards. Cash is also still viable in the US, though I know its becoming much less common in other parts of the world.
