>NB that "returning money to the shareholders" is ultimately what companies are for

That's debatable in many instances of the modern economic system. Of course, some instances of capitalism focus on that particular goal you've mentioned, but that wasn't always the case and it still isn't, depending on the socio-economic circumstances.
The problem with entanglement is obviously that it does not scale many-to-many, just like Erlang. You need Java to do many-to-many or C with a GC VM.

I suppose it's because LLM training data uses text that can contain reasoning within it, but without any specific context to specifically learn reasoning. I feel like the little reasoning an LLM can do is a byproduct of the training data.

Does seem more realistic to train something not on text but on actual reasoning/logic concepts and use that along with other models for something more general purpose. LLMs should really only be used to turn "thoughts" into text and to receive instructions, not to do the actual reasoning.

I don't think my comment ought to be the trigger for a generic rant against Go enums (or lack thereof). I was just pointing out a motivation for iota to increment in sequence from zero (rather than assigning a random unique value, as OP suggested).
They're a means of "returning money", but they also pump up the stock price, to which managers' TCs are linked. Hence they are a form of manipulation.

Unlike dividends, they don't return money to all shareholders, but to those who sell shares, which are the wealthiest, unnecessarily increasing inequality.

Excessive buybacks and underinvestment are a big reason why Intel failed. Gelsinger (CEO) talked about this publicly. It's not just "returning money to shareholders", because it leads to perverse incentives and underinvestment. Under Otellini, Intel returned 109% of its profits to shareholders.

I think the main response would be ‘then dont live there’. I live in a city cheaper than NYC, but I moved to a cheaper area further out due to cost.

Land is unfortunately limited. Someone else is willing to pay more for the space than I am.

I understand moving sucks and prices in areas change, but this is still an area where a functioning market is better on whole.
I have no idea why journalists have such a hate boner for stock buybacks. Dividends can get favorable tax treatment too.

"Expanding horizons" being a job of the internet is the viewpoint of a particular kind of optimist. I very much doubt it's what most ordinary people want, certainly as something that is thrust upon them. For me, if I want to expand my horizons, the internet is clearly very useful and I do make use of it like that. I want that to be under my control, though, and not part of some semi-coerced product design. Bluesky's approach therefore seems like a good attempt to me. I mean, I certainly don't trust Twitter or Meta to do it for me.
Except that even then, an investor can sell their shares. If they couldn’t, no company would ever be able to raise money in a public offering.
I sometimes advise small and midsize businesses that are having financial problems. Most of them have this exact issue: accounts receivable are a mess. Often, it's because they try outsourcing it to their accountant, who means well but doesn't quite understand that trading money for services/products is the core function of most businesses. Often, instead of buying billing/POS software that fits the business, the accountant has everything being billed out of quick books, and no one but accounting has access to it.

* Sales can't price products accurately and quickly and eventually get frustrated with being stuck with quota pressure and no way to sell the product. Eventually, they start doing bad deals.

* Cash and payment handling is not disciplined. So think PCI nightmare and easily pilfered cash and checks.

* Eventually, the issue becomes, "Where did all the money go?"

This problem is usually really easy to fix as long as the financial problems haven't turned malignant.
Companies can have net profits and be terrible investments.

The exact same company can be a great investment at 10$, and a terrible investment at 10,000$. You can’t separate stock price from if something is a good investment or not.

The example I gave was low risk 1% dividend, that’s not a stock I would want to own. Net result the company, which has inside information, should expect the price to correct ie fall at some point and thus be a poor investment until that point. That doesn’t prevent them from buying it because the goal isn’t a positive ROI.
I understand the definitions of such crypto algorithms but have no idea about differential cryptanalysis.

It can be both at the same time. By buying out your stock, you alter the company's assets, but the price of the stock remains the same since you still have the same number of stocks issued. You just replaced your money assets with stock assets.

Once you cancel the stocks you bought back, the rest of the shares will hold a more significant percentage of the company and increase in value.

But this is one part of the equation. The other part is that your stock is inside a market, and buyers and sellers combined determine its price. If you keep buying your stock, you create buying pressure, helping keep the price from falling.
Wait but the dollar has a higher exchange rate than Chinese currency as well.
I think I'm on the other side of this argument. The US operates a fairly laissez faire capitalist system. The US has decided that it wants to encourage chip production in the US. There are a number of ways to do this - you can put restrictions on imports, you can create tax cuts locally, or you can create federal initiatives to incentive companies to do more in the US. There are pros and cons to all of them, but it's important to understand the US isn't doing Intel a favour - there is something the US government wants - strategic capacity to produce high tech chips, and it's spending money in the open market to achieve that. It could have gone down the other routes, but there's good reason not to. You impose tariffs? Maybe Intel just decreases production, you create tax cuts? You get exactly the same accusations of state subsidy. But what's happening here isn't a subsidy, it's a transaction, Intel is delivering something the US government is willing to pay for.
That could be the difference between "near 100%" and 100%. Or it could be because Australia has good renewable resources.

This paper is a similar analysis but for the US, check Fig. 3. As you go from 97% to 100% renewables, the overbuilding requirements blow up.

It's a bad language with obtuse and verbose design, a caricature of Elixir, a mockery of Modula-2 and a cautionary tale of C.
This is a misunderstanding of what stock buybacks are. Companies do not buy their stock from themselves. They buy the stock from participants in the market.

Following your example, it'd be like the author of a book buying the book they wrote from someone else. If the author chooses to pay someone else 1000$ for their book, they can, but they will be wasting money.

A company doing a stock buyback is trading off their own capital (they have to spend it, it's not an infinite money glitch where they buy it from themselves) to get back shares of the company itself at the then-market-price. The market chooses whether that's a good trade. It may not
that's an argument for why best seller lists are stupid.

companies can create new stock anytime out of thin air, and that decreases the price. why can't they do the opposite?

some owners of the company decide to buy stocks from the others, thus consolidating ownership. that's what stock buyback is.

note, the argument for taxing buybacks is completely different, and valid. (and it might make sense, it might not, it depends on the circumstances. externalities tax (pollution, tax on induced traffic, etc), LVT (land value tax) and wealth tax would be much better, than taxing transactions.)

That’s not relevant - the schools in the area do not have undergraduates in their middle age.

Middle aged college students usually attend extension schools part of the university, but not part of the undergraduate college.

In any case there’s no strict limitation on being an undergraduate at say 60 (I believe Harvard Colleges oldest graduate was in their 80s), but it’s so exceptionally rare it’s ageism.

There’s no reason why one would need to be an undergraduate.
Stock buy backs functionally work no different them dividends at the end of the day. Your returns instead of getting issued as cash from a dividend are in the form of higher share value. Taxed as short term or long term capital gains vs dividend.

Its a form of stock manipulation if you mean that buying stock increases the value of the stock. It doesn't mean its a form of manipulation in some kind of illegal unethical way that i think this comment thread is trying to make it sound.

There was a brief window when it was possible to do some really cool stuff with MacRuby, such as inspecting and even monkey patching core OS X classes. Probably one major reason why Apple killed the project in the first place. Being able to interact with the operating system on a low level through macirb was an absolutely mind blowing experience.

Sadly, those days are long gone, and I just don’t think Swift brings the same kind of flexibility or joy that MacRuby did.

You have absorbed modern market brokenthink.

Companies are for creating goods or services to sell to other parties. They existed long before the idea of shareholders. Following your logic, companies pre-VOC had no existing purpose.
"runs" would be different than "supports". AFAIK, there still isn't an official package for Swift in the Arch package registry, so to say Swift is supported by Arch sounds like "writing false information with such a confidence".
Yes. It's not like there are no unused words remaining.
Swift only supports a small number of linux systems.
which is at most half-truth cause this is just official installers and most likely you'll use some sort of rustup (rust wasn't working on every system few years ago if you use official installer not some sort of rustenv installer or building from source etc.) you can use https://github.com/kylef/swiftenv you can use community packages https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swift etc.

"and so on is that languages other that swift aim to support linux in general." -> again not true linux distro dosen't change swift usage it is just official build is run for few most popular distros and you can use prebuild swift-bin on any linux repo. (arch, debina, ubuntu, centos etc. etc.) You can say the same stuff about rust/nim/go every other language that didn't have official release for some niche linux distro.

Rule 10b-18 is designed to prevent companies from using buybacks to manipulate the market, stating that share buy backs must meet 4 conditions:

1. all shares must be purchased during a single day and from a single broker or via a single deal

2. larger companies cannot authorize buybacks within the last 10mins of the day and smaller companies can't authorize them within the last 30 mins

3. companies have to buy back their stocks at a price lower than or equal to the highest independent bid

4. companies can't buy back more than 25% of the average daily volume

One thing that bothers me about the current economy is that most tech workers are are paid in stock and most Americans are required to invest to retire.

This is basically a net fiscal transfer from regular Americans to tech workers, since tech stocks are typically the default investment when retirement is more than a decade away, artificially raising the price of tech stocks.

Tech workers sell now while the price is artificially high and everyone else is left gambling later after all the tech workers have cashed out.

I think you're talking to the wrong point. These memories aren't being encoded in germ cells, they are after the fact changes to DNA in mature neurons which have completely differentiated. I would think it's very possible at that stage of development for them to add or remove segments of DNA in order to encode new information not related to the development of the cell as long as it didn't interfere too much with parts that are actively used for the ongoing upkeep of cell activity. It would need to alter how the cell functions a little bit for the changes to modify the neuron's ability to process signals though.

After owning five businesses, I agree with this.

Good businesses are machines for trading money for whatever they sell. Billing is core functionality.
