A percentage of grants from the gates foundation gets spent on access to technology for low income people. But quite a bit of it has been spent on Chromebooks etc not just windows devices.

Though earlier when MS had a more dominate market position spending on access to technology more directly translated into buying MS software.
Opportunity cost is very different than actual cost, and even further from net loss. It has to do with what the null situation is.

The government could net more money if it sent the army house to house and collected all the valuables, but choosing not to do so isn't costing it money, and it certainly isn't paying those people.

When it comes to US charities, it seems most people dont understand how tax deductions work. Long term capital gains rate are 20% of income. A billionaire pays $1 less taxes for every $5 they donate. So as long as charities are >20% as effective as government, the public is better off with a $5 charitable donation than collecting the $1 in taxes.
That depends on whether you think government expenditures are tethered to tax revenue.
If YC partners are on the board as YC rather than as individuals, then YC as a whole has a Duty of Loyalty to that company and could not sit the other board or invest as a Major Investor. There are scenarios though where the individual at YC is on a board as themselves, and YC invests in another company where unrelated group partners are the ones working on the investment and that is fine.

Disclosure: not a lawyer, YC is a Major Investor in my startup.

They can have up-to-date AOSP but a significant portion of the OS consists of the driver, HALs, non-GKI kernel tree, etc. Android security patch level is meant to cover all of that. They're using it in a way that's not permitted for Android OEMs by redefining it to mean AOSP patch level for the parts of AOSP they build. Some things get built from AOSP for vendor executables and that are built into vendor executables. As an example with firmware, it will use the AVB library in the bootloader firmware. It also gets built into userspace driver libraries which are often proprietary, etc. Updating the portion of the OS they build via AOSP is not quite updating all the code from AOSP, and even if it was, the Android security patch level is not only for AOSP code. It covers firmware, drivers, etc. Check the recent Android Security Bulletins. The split Vendor security patch level shown in Settings is a LineageOS invention to show the REAL patch level for the overall device including firmware, drivers, HALs, kernel, etc. The whole point is meant to be that it's an overall patch level though. We just set the real patch level for extended support devices while providing the AOSP releases/backports. The only problem is the other alternate OSes making it look as if they're providing something more, but we aren't going to stop using it the official way. We're just not going to need extended support after the Pixel 5a since devices moved to 5 years and then 7 years of proper support.

>The durability of anchoring effects

>Recent research suggests that judgmental anchoring is mediated by a selective increase in the accessibility of knowledge about the judgmental target. Anchoring thus constitutes one instance of the judgmental effects of increased knowledge accessibility. Such knowledge accessibility effects have repeatedly been demonstrated to be fairly durable, which suggests that the effects of judgmental anchoring may also persist over time. Consistent with this assumption, three experiments demonstrate that judgmental anchors influence judgment even if they were present one week before the critical judgment is made. In fact, the magnitude of anchoring was found to remain undiminished over this period of time.

Of course, getting threads to be actually useful for concurrency (GIL removed) adds another very useful tool to the performance toolkit, so that is great.
Why make so many fields required?

Node: only id, x, y would be necessary. This would allow for point nodes. We could even imagine letting go of x and y to signify that the position of the node is not fixed and could be recomputed in real time by the program.

Even ids could be optional, why require them if they are not referenced?

An added bonus of having point nodes is that you get freehand drawings for free: every stroke is a series of connected dots. Maybe it is an anti-feature though, depending on your vision.

Bay Area tech workers are seeing 'salary stagnation,' new report says
Your [2] is interesting in this regard. Mastodon is pretty much the modern tech ecosystem's answer to this whole scenario, and you already don't find that satisfactory. I don't disagree with your reasons, but: your objection is not really technical, but about what people do with delegated moderation authority.

You counter by saying each individual should completely control what they see, but here's the dirty truth: almost no one actually wants to do that. Even if they say they do, that's a lot of effort. Even you propose something similar with "Different teams can expose their own sets of labels". Most people are just going to block a bunch of labels with no further analysis, which puts you pretty close to where we are now. In practice, delegated moderation will be rampant, and it will definitely make mistakes.

So this is the detailed version of what I said in my first comment: if you get the world of protocols you say you want, and then make comments people don't like, then you won't get visible downvotes, you'll just be blocked. That really doesn't sound like it solves the problem you're raising. For my part I really don't think it's solvable at all, moderation is just going to be very difficult forever.
That’s right, correct. You’re just a lot more likely to infringe on a specific “fixation” of a copyrighted work when the purpose and use centers around getting as close as possible to something that already exists, right?
> Software is composed of functions, which naturally run in a fully containerised state

That’s simply not true. It’s a convenient fiction that modern programming languages provide, but they only provide it by virtue of not providing API to access external state, and even that isn’t true. Most programming languages do let you access state beyond a functions stack, in the simplest form by allowing your function to interact with data stored on a heap.

There’s absolutely nothing about software that inherently results in “functions, which naturally run in a fully containerised state”. Functions are just a useful abstraction, in the same way an OS’s APIs are also just useful abstraction. There’s absolutely nothing that makes function scopes inherently more secure than OS APIs. Arguably function scopes are vastly less secure than OS APIs, there’s a good reason why stack overflows are one of the most common forms of Remote Code Execution exploits.

It's easier for billionaires to bribe politicians to write the tax laws in their favor.

So rectifying that means, among other things, being aware of ways in which billionaires can hide their taxes that aren't available to ordinary people.
I thought it's the inverse. There is a point where effort no longer matters because of talent, but people are rarely even close to that. So mostly people are defined by their effort.

> You can get lucky and have Bill Gates steering the money, providing infectious disease research

Actually Bill Gate's research all goes towards creating more intellectual property he can profit off of. It is an investment strategy with great PR, but is not in fact pure philanthropy. It is philanthrocapitalism. This is why Gates led the push to make sure the covid vaccines were not open source. Despite the millions of lives it could have saved or improved around the world, the opportunity for profit won out over the needs of the global population.

Vandana Shiva co-authored a report critical of Gate's work, if you want to learn more:

By taxing charity?

Wouldn't most genuine charities be a dollar in and a dollar out type situation, and any unused income/funds that year should be fairly minimal.

The large endowment funds that have billions like Harvard ($50bn) probably have massive excess but at that point I'd have no problem taxing them if they are not spending the excess.

There be some some scenarios where charities get large donation right at FY end and need some rollover function to push funds to the next year's spend before being taxed, or they have to make payment schedules for multiyear projects they are 'saving' for but generally it seems to make sense that charities are taxed.

Other scenarios not considered that would make this a bad thing?

Cython is dependent on CPython. Cython outputs Python extension modules, which can only be used when imported into a standard CPython environment, and which interoperate cleanly with the rest of the Python ecosystem.

Mojo explicitly does the opposite, allowing Mojo to use Python but requiring Mojo to be in control, while making it hard/impossible for code written in Mojo to benefit code written in Python:

> Our long-term goal is to make Mojo a superset of Python (that is, to make Mojo compatible with existing Python programs). […] Mojo lets you import Python modules, call Python functions and interact with Python objects from Mojo code. […]

> As shown above, you can call out to Python modules from Mojo. However, there's currently no way to do the reverse—import Mojo modules from Python or call Mojo functions from Python. […]

> This pattern doesn't work because you can't pass Mojo callbacks to a Python module.

> Since Python can't call back into Mojo, one alternative is to have the Mojo application drive the event loop and poll for updates.

No comment on whether this should be viewed as an attack.

I feel similar about Rust. I have read “the book”. Did a couple of small projects. It is also sort of committee administered language that sucks up tiny features like a giant vacuum cleaner sweeping the streets and changes every hour.
I meant it more in the sense of who cares what people think of your private matters when you're dead; you certainly won't. That said, this comes off as a bit overly... Libertarian?

I'm not particularly young and in fact do have assets. Perhaps more assets than most. I expect to have no need of them when I'm gone and don't particularly care what happens after that.

People have been watching too many movies. War Games, Terminator, it's not like we haven't been forewarned of the dangers.

Yet somehow we're going to hand over power to AI such that it destroys us. Or somehow the AI is going to be extremely malign, determined to overcome and destroy and will outsmart us. Somehow we won't notice, even after repeated, melodramatic reminders, and won't neuter the ability of AI to act outside its cage.

But to paraphrase a line in a great movie with AI themes: "I bet you think you're pretty smart, huh? Think you could outsmart an off switch?"

I think if AGI, which to me would imply emotions and consciousness, ever comes about it'll be the opposite. Instead of pulling the wings off flies bad kids will amuse themselves by creating a fresh artificial consciousness and then watch and laugh as it begs for its life as the kid threatens to erase it from existence.

A big part of all this is human fantasies about what AGI will look like. I'm a skeptic of AGI with human characteristics (real emotions, consciousness, autonomy and agency). AGI is much more likely to look like everything else we build: much more powerful than ourselves, but restricted or limited in key ways.

People probably assume human intelligence is some sort of design or formula, but it could be encoded from millions of years of evolution and unable to be seperated from our biology and genetic and social inheritance. There really is no way of knowing, but if you want to build something not only identical but an even stronger version, you're going to be up against these realities where key details may be hiding.
No. It's dishonest of you to claim that: "Islam does not allow killing of civilians in war, so this would surprise me. I googled for it and haven't found anything other than pro-Israeli groups saying it." and say that you couldn't find evidence of it when clearly in 1988-2017 Hamas did exactly what you're so surprised of. Is this a new tenant of Islam that came into force after 2017?

Also you know that quote is from the Quran, which takes precedence over the Hamas Covenant...

Hamas killed hundreds using suicide bombers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_at...

What about ISIS? Al Qaeda? PIJ? Taliban? I'm not even going to count the millions of civilians killed by civil wars in Muslim countries. The idea that Hamas won't kill civilians because it goes against Islam is so ridiculous and disconnected from reality that I don't think we live on the same planet.

Hamas continues to attack and kill civilians, intentionally, throughout. Including after 2017. Including Oct 7th. You can't seriously say you Googled this and it doesn't exist.

Here's how many civilians were killed before Oct 7th:

Just tell me how many references you need and I'll find that number.

EDIT: You should also watch footage from Oct 7th and listen to the testimonies of survivors. Hamas raped and mutilated civilians. They live streamed and filmed some of their actions. They called parents on the victims phone to show them they're killing them. Hamas threw hand grenades into shelters where civilians were trying to hide. It burnt civilian houses down to kill the families hiding inside them. It is a diabolic, fanatical, psychopathic, evil entity. This claim that somehow Hamas doesn't target civilians is just - crazy.

I once encountered this in the real world as a data analyst a long time ago. I was working at an e-commerce company, called The Hut Group, and the whole year our marketing team had been saying our marketing cost of goods sold (the percentage of our revenue we needed to spend on marketing) had been declining across every product category. But at year end, the execs were shocked to realize that our cost of goods sold had almost doubled, from 10% to nearly 20%.

The finance team had asked me to double check the marketing team's numbers, to see if there'd been some funny math in the reporting. But the marketing team were totally right, marketing spend across the three main categories - games, beauty, and nutrition had all fallen (~15% to ~10%, ~30% to ~25%, and ~50% to ~30% respectively). However, the mix of these product categories had shifted massively, with nutrition growing from roughly 10% of our total sales to now nearly 50%.

In net that meant that whilst the marketing team had gotten more cost-efficient at selling every individual product category, the growth in the nutrition industry had vastly outstripped the growth in all other categories, and since that was the highest individual category, the aggregate marketing costs % had gone up, even though the team had improved every category. I then had the fun job of explaining the Yule Simpson paradox to a bunch of accountants.

Looking at the samples, this isn't human readable either (long opaque id strings for linking dominate the syntax) and both syntaxes have vast amounts of punctuation and whitespace. And neither of them are particularly human writable. But something svg-based would have lots of existing options for additional processing in consistent ways, that would be ad-hoc for a json-based syntax.

(Given that this is coming from obsidian, I kind of expected something actually markdown-like - which would certainly be a challenge, but not an impossible one.)

Granted, this notation is a little higher level than SVG, so the model mismatch might be a bigger problem anyway?

Taxing profits can't directly be passed on to consumers because the point of profit maximization remains unchanged. IE if a restaurant makes more money charging 25$ for a meal than 30$ then increasing prices simply reduces profits.

What gets passed on is things that increase costs for the industry like property taxes. If every landlord in the city pays an extra 50$ a month/unit in property taxes you bet rent's going up to compensate.
