I live in Brooklyn and there are times I want or need to leave the city to Jersey or PA. I'm not trying to park or even be in Manhattan but adding an extra hour or two to a trip to avoid Manhattan is costly. It already costs me close to $30 to leave and come back if I head west.

Also, I live in a low-income neighborhood 1 mile from Manhattan. Many people have cars and use them for work and family. Transit can really suck the further out you are.

I'm pro-transit and am not a giant fan of cars. I use mine for transporting my work as well as some trips. Using Uber would maybe save me money if it was only me travelling short distances and the driver doesn't mind me loading paintings or sculptures in their car or SUV.

I don't even know if I disagree with the law but it's not going to stop the less wealthy from bearing the brunt of this. To act as if driving into Manhattan is purely an act of entertainment or easy choice is missing a million elements. What if your older disabled relative lives in Manhattan and can't take transit? Uber will cost more than the $15 even one way. What if you're unable to take transit and just want to visit someone in Manhattan? This is not a tax on the rich as the rich are maybe 1 in 10.
they reduce the supply of stock available, that is a difference. If its material is a different question, I'd argue it is but don't have data to back that up.

If a company has to buy back 10 billion in stock over a fixed time period market participates should be able to drive up the stock price knowing they will have a buyer (the company) to sell to later.

The key difference, unlike the usual sock example or your letter example, it is not about knowing. The superimposed quantum states have not been fixed.

That is the crazy part.
>Unlike dividends, they don't return money to all shareholders,

That's false reasoning in so many level. Take every of your arguments and do counterfactual and you see.

> leads to perverse incentives and underinvestment

Investing is not alternative to paying dividends in any well managed company. Companies invest if they see better ROI for the investment than elsewhere. They give money back to shareholders (either dividends or buybacks) when they can't do better than markets.

I've heard hiring managers question if a candidate who ran a startup before would stick with the job. Depending on how you present that experience in your resume, it may give the appearance you just want some extra income or breathing room and will bail on the job if/when the startup takes off. Hiring managers may also wonder if you will work on your startup ideas on the employer's time.

I've seen resumes from 20-somethings with history like this: Intern while in university, barista, CEO (or CTO). It can look a bit ridiculous to put CEO on a resume when the company consisted of one or two people. Maybe tone that down to "self-employed."

We spend that much GPU compute not to just generate random boiler plate code but to create the real code.

If it wouldn't be beneficial for writing code, which it is, we wouldn't use it.

But yes if we could create better languages or systems, it would be a waste. But we tried multiply new programming languages, we have no code platforms etc.

It does look like though that LLM is still better than all of those approaches.
Search engines are not the beacons of holiness - they sell ads, they sell data on who searched what, they manipulate results.

Search engines and AI things are typically owned by the same company. AIs are fed with the data collected by a search engine. The only difference is whether AI gets the data in realtime or waits for the search engine to collect another data dump.

Fighting windmills as I see it.
But were there strings attached that make Intel actually do that with this money, unlike last time?

One thing I feel is that the current domain idea generators have a complicated UI wrapped on top of AI which makes it hard to iterate on the ideas and have a follow up conversaion. I felt that having a chat UI with availablity check is a better way to handle that.
This is just the initial version and I am going to improve the prompts probabally finetune it to give better results.
Also I will write the blog post soon.
I guess that would be too expensive. Even if with all the new domain extensions you can just find an easy alternative.
Calling it "action" may be a mistake. Action implies something changes (there is a state called "before" and state called "after"). But nothing changes "over there", we just now know what actually happened (there is no state called "before" or it's value is "unknown", only state called "after").
Only on hackernews you get the most ironic of takes. Supposedly someone who is educated and technologically literate to a high degree, thinks opposition to AI is a good thing.

Regulations is one of the major reason semiconductor industry shifted overseas. US used to be the undisputed leader in semiconductor manufacturing. If you think Intel will stay regardless of US regulation, you are definitely wrong.

It's always been "both"? (specifically for the PLC-type company). People invest in the expectation of a return, to be achieved by doing business. It's usually phrased as "maximize shareholder value", which is ambiguous about the timeframe, but for most cases the value is understood to be over the indefinite future. Not that that stops people from taking short term decisions which can be bad in the long term.

> Because you can fund stock buybacks with debt, but you could not do that with dividends.

There are plenty of companies with large debs that pay dividends on the US market, such as Ford.

The overleveraged self-destruction is bad, but that tends to be a feature of private equity deals where there is a single majority owner doing it on purpose (e.g. Maplin, Jaguar Land Rover). Harder to do with a publicly owned company where the investors can see what you are doing and may sue you.

The UK water companies should never have been privatized in the first place. They're dysfunctional because water isn't a normal market and arguably can't be, so they're ripe for this kind of looting of the state by capital depletion.

Possibly, but this is both very costly and imposes a non-trivial risk from creating a single point of failure for your entire network which also does binary decoding of complex data structures. Unless you have an unlimited budget that raises the question of whether it’s likely that there are enough attacks which are simple enough for this approach to catch while still being damaging enough to matter relative to the other things you could do with the same budget and staffing.
They clearly want an enum/sum type which an array of structs (which is the trivial solution they started at) doesn't provide.

This is certainly an extreme example, but I feel that most designers believe (and their management expects) in these sorts of design decision justifications. Designers need to sell their designs, and a large majority of the time there isn't enough actual thought to justify anything; it's just preference, or at the end of the day, there are lots of good enough solutions.

There is a significant problem in the design of performative work that provides little to no value. So much time is spent on "process" and "workshops" that yield nothing, yet design management rewards it. I've informally polled peers of designers, and the common view is that, depending on the designer, only 20-60% of what they do is of any actual value. I think the state of the design market reflects this. Designers need to engage in serious introspection and figure out which parts of their work are valuable and which are not. The industry has been discussing "proving our value" and "getting a seat at the table" for years. If we've been working on this for 15+ years but haven't achieved it, I think that shows something about the actual value design provides.

We're at this weird point where devs will both complain that VSCode is slow and bad because it runs on electron, and then insist that every decision and line of code they make runs through a giant Rube Goldberg machine before they type it.

Internet Archive's crawler is not respecting robots.txt because they want to archive everything not just parts of the Web. But if you are actively breaking robots.txt then your crawler will have a bad reputation and you will have an army of webmasters trying to block your crawler by any means. You can see crawling requests in your sever logs, that's how you know if they are respecting it or not.

Imo, they best solution would be to license your content so crawlers pay a fee for crawling and using your content.

So it can't be called "action"? Could be also described as correlation is not causation and action implies causation.
Let's say corp XYZ has 100 shares out, and they're owned by 50 people.

At any point, there are people trading, buying and selling those 100 shares. Buyer 51 comes along and wants to buy a share. He can only buy a share if one of the 50 owners are selling. So, he has to offer a price that'll convince one of the 50 to sell.

XYZ Corp decides to do a buyback. They buy 20 of those shares. In that moment, they will certainly create a spike in demand for the 20 shares.

But later on, now there are only 80 shares out. When buyer 52 comes along to buy a share, there are fewer shares, and fewer sellers. He might have to offer more than Buyer 51 to actually get a share for that reason.

It seems like she just doesn't want to have kids.
"I think consensus with the partner on how to raise a child would be a given."

Looking around, it really isn't with many of the parents I know. There are just so many things one can disagree about. Food choices alone are very hard for some. Sugar or not, how much, and vegan diet or not, .. (We try to be as pragmatic as possible, as healthy as possible, but not dogmatic). Then, is it ok to play with toy weapons, what movies to watch at what age, how much screen time at all, ...

With my partner we were quite clear how to do it in theory before. But in reality there are many things we disagree - and then it is an art, to find a consensus about it, while the kids are watching. Otherwise it is an invitation for them for learning how to manipulate.

So good for you, if it was quite easy for you. For many it isn't for various reasons. So some probably just should have the courage to go with it, before they are too old. For others it might be better to wait.

The issue is as much a diagnosis of the academic culture which came to this decision: it's quite alarming that academics are on the side of 'cultural sensitivities' rather than against them.

We have churches; we have political parties. What use is an academia that prays and "advocates for change" ?

Academia should, by any reasonable sense of its mission, defend the preservation of works to be studied; regardless of their historical origins. They should be dragged kicking and screaming into destroying anything.

Who, if not academics?

History cannot be made 'respectable' -- and what a nightmare if academia tries to make it so.
What is AWS doing about Redis' new license? I haven't been following.
China is banning Intel and AMD chips from their gov't use. When they catch up with tsmc in 7nm, they'll likely make an import ban on all U.S. chips. Who then will AMD and Intel sell to? Aging European population? Africa as it develops? Africans are likely to buy Chinese chips, seeing for all the material infrastructure China invests in.

Intel and AMD will only sell to American-alligned countries, which are declining. Seizing the company and milking till it runs dry is the right move.

Intel had all the capital it needed to innovate. It did not. The company is unable, despite all the cash it has on hand. It's a lost cause. One hopes AMD continues innovating.
I read the hacker hunting story of Cliff Stoll 35 years ago from a Thai computer magazine when I'm 12. I think he is a fairly good looking person from the photo in that monotone magazine. And I thought he must have a sage like personality.

Are you suggesting the government buy Intel, or that they steal it from its current owners? You might have different opinions than I do about the morality of such a thing, but either way it would be disastrous as it would disincentivize all investment in things the US can steal.

Tuition has only exploded because of unlimited government-backed student loans. They created this problem with the "good intentions" of providing everyone an opportunity to study any subject at any price regardless of job prospects.

Stock prices are also effected by dividends:

> Dividends can affect the price of their underlying stock in a variety of ways. While the dividend history of a given stock plays a general role in its popularity, the declaration and payment of dividends also have a specific and predictable effect on market prices. After the ex-dividend date, the share price of a stock usually drops by the amount of the dividend.

Certainly one of the stranger parts (to me) of visiting old Catholic churches is seeing the reliquaries [1].

Since I'm an atheist, I don't really have particularly strong feelings about what happens after I die (ideally: reasonably green, so composting seems better than cremation). And yet, it is weird to imagine my doctor or mortician taking some part of my body for their personal collection (imagine a tooth or finger).

With that in mind, I understand these posts. Harvard: "whoa guys this is skin!" To "sorry we called you all guys [2], and sorry we were shocked and sensational in our discussion of this artifact"

What should they do? It makes sense to have human attendants manage the book if you want it to be accessible in the collection. At least then they can warn would-be viewers (since that's a thing they want to do)

They could just donate the book to a museum? Then nobody really touches it and it's probably well-preserved. They could remove (but preserve) the skin. I imagine that's what they've done, which seems ok. Anyone can use the book, researchers can study the skin

The book-skin combo artifact doesn't seem particularly special to me - is it worth preserving as a whole unit? I'm surprised so many others in the comments think so

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliquary#:~:text=A%20reliqu....

[2] this is a joke

[3] thinking about this, I can't imagine human skin is the best binding for a book, but I do appreciate that it would be possible to say "I really don't care what happens to my skin" or to otherwise be ok with this. It doesn't seem like this was the case for this book, though.

Endlessh: An SSH Tarpit and an Analysis Thereof
I’m a big fan of tarpits: a network service that intentionally inserts delays in its protocol, slowing down clients by forcing them to wait. This arrests the speed at which a bad actor can attack or probe the host system, and it ties up some of the attacker’s resources that might otherwise be spent attacking another host. When done well, a tarpit imposes more cost on the attacker than the defender.
