Significant assets (anything over say, 10k in value) should probably be owned by a trust, corporation, or anonymous offshore LLC or foundation. (Escalating by value). The cost of doing this runs about 300-1000-3000 a year.

(complex, basically impenetrable systems that also can effectively shelter large sums of money and eliminate huge swaths of tax liability usually cost around 5-10k a year or so to maintain),

These systems of ownership/control protects these assets from risks such as personal or business liability, divorce court, bankruptcy, etc and at the more sophisticated levels can create cash sinks to eliminate vast swaths of tax exposure while tucking cash and other fungibles away in effectively untouchable zero-tax jurisdictions.

This is a system quietly utilised by virtually every international corporation as well as the vast majority of people with significant wealth. It is gravely underutilised by people of modest wealth. A trust provides very strong protection for multiple assets for less than 30 euros a month in many cases.

It’s worth noting the obvious, that one entity can hold many assets so that the cost is spread over your entire risk position.

You should speak to a financial advisor and also look into ways to charge off surplus cash reserves offshore if possible, though it’s possibly too late to do this in an ideal way to reduce your tax exposure.

The goal for fungibles is to move your profit centres offshore to better tax jurisdictions, and although this sounds complex, it’s not really that difficult.

An offshore can hold your IP, and your local can lease that IP from the offshore, absorbing the majority of your revenue, for example. Or you can set up a private insurance company so that all insurance costs go offshore. Offshore private retirement funds are a thing.

Offshore companies can hold assets that you then lease from them, such as real estate, vehicles, boats, planes, etc. They can be very profitable, tucking those profits away in tax-favourable jurisdictions while absorbing large chunks of discretionary revenue from your operations in less tax-favorable situations.

All of these can have tax advantages for avoiding taxes you don’t need to owe, and most of them create very very deep legal moats around the assets that you seek to benefit from.

The mechanisms for relinquishing legal ownership and direct control (therefore liability and vulnerability) while retaining the use and benefit from your assets are sophisticated and well established.
There are earlier attempts to do this, CCured was as I recall wholly based on comment annotation, and it was also closely related to cyclone, which inspired rust.

That's choosing to do war crimes or a genocide, plus increasing the risk for more terror attacks in the future
In a system of government founded on a Constitution, those laws have to follow the Constitution (at least in an eventually-consistent way). (Or the Constitution must be amended, or a revolution has to happen; neither of the latter two are possible by a legislature acting alone.)
You didn't mention what country you're in or what level of schools you're targeting. This matters a lot.

-----

A lot of people think schools are kind of "naive" and "under-resourced" but you will quickly find at least in au/nz that even primary/intermediate schools are quite a lot more regulated / bureaucratic than you might expect. I'm guessing the US could be even worse.

Schools already have Internet. So, why do they need yours?

Why should they trust you? What kind of organisation are you? How many of you are there? I noticed you mentioned "student ID and password" for auth. Are you expecting the school to provide you with this information?

Do you like paperwork? Even if it's free, if you have equipment on their grounds and are providing a service to students you'll need a contract with the school. What's your privacy policy? What kind of SLA are you providing? Is the support free as well? You'll probably have to go through their supplier/vendor assessment process and there may be heavy restrictions around authorised suppliers. Are you going to have staff or contractors visiting the school grounds on a regular basis? Understand they'll need various background checks etc and you'll have to keep this stuff up to date.

Be prepared to learn a lot about the various standards and regulations schools and their suppliers have to comply with.

A key question is, are you going to do traffic filtering yourself or use a commercial service? You cannot provide a "raw" feed to students.

The kind of traffic filtering and monitoring available to schools is now far more advanced than what people used to do for free with netfilter/squid. For sure, when little Timmy sees a disturbing _news article_ while hooked up to your feed eventually you will get complaints about this which will go from child -> parent -> school -> you. The kind of filtering schools need now costs money, how are you providing this service for free again?
I think that all the time.
The same thing applies to things like chocolate. Yet no one says that since we can't pinpoint a threshold of chocolate consumption harmfulness, we need to assume it's ZERO.
Tangential but made me laugh: I used Google's Bard (now called Gemini) to search the web, and it returned total nonsense. It did provide sources though, so I checked it out. Turns out it was quoting from an AI generated page full of factual errors.

Most amusing part was that I couldn't even find that page anywhere near the top of the regular Google search results. How did it even decide that was the right one?
That sounds terrible indeed, I'm sorry to hear that, but anecdotes don't make a statistic.

For example my parents had always been tech illiterate android and windows users and never got hacked or robbed online.

BS. If a resourceful and motivated actor wants to phish your credentials they can do it even if you use iOS as well. They can call you and impersonate your bank. They don't need to get privilege escalation on your phone's OS.

I don't think you are correct on this, with ML workloads becoming a thing, increasing speeds across the board is extremely important.
I'm looking forward to trying this out with Plandex[1] (a terminal-based AI coding tool I recently launched that can build large features).

Plandex does rely on OpenAI's streaming function calls for its build progress indicators, so the lack of streaming is a bit unfortunate. But great to hear that it will be included in GA.

I've been getting a lot of requests to support Claude, as well as open source models. A humble suggestion for folks working on models: focus on full compatibility with the OpenAI API as soon as you can, including function calls and streaming function calls. Full support for function calls is crucial for building advanced functionality.

I have trauma from being forced to write things down because I had a progressively worsening tremor in my childhood. It doesn’t sound that bad and truely it wasn’t the worst trauma someone can experience, but I still have a very physical reaction to being made to fill out forms quickly where my hands shake wildly. It makes me wonder if trauma just doesn’t respect the intensity of the experience and it’s more of result of how we form memories, I definitely know people who’ve had more difficult lives who don’t have this.

I reckon you're misunderstanding stoicism if you think of it as mental gymnastics. You're implying it is a practice of self-deceit or indulging in irrationality.

Stoicism is largely about accepting things as they are and letting go of the illusion of control. This, if truly integrated in your outlook, is the opposite of mental gymnastics. Said otherwise, you'd have self-awareness to understand your predicament and cut through it. Believe or not, you and Marcus Aurelius share the fundamental human condition, despite him being what you'd consider a "top performer".

Would you consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy a practice of mental gymnastics? After all, Aaron Beck was inspired in part by the stoics.

I wish you find peace, don't be too hard on yourself.

> Very hard for me to understand why, in a world of Google docs, anyone would want to deal with the bloated mess that is ms office.

Precisely because some of that "bloat" is useful for others. Off the top of my head, I really dislike that Google Docs doesn't support stuff like creating your own styles to apply in the document. My use case, for example, is having a style for inline code, with a monospaced font and a different colour, which I can do in Word creating a new style and applying it, but can't in GDocs.

> The poor person re-did about 4 hours of their work 3x because they couldn’t find the file MS Word had guaranteed them it had saved, so they had to start from scratch.

It should appear as a recent file once you open word, no matter if it was saved to OneDrive or locally. And it certainly isn't so hard to choose where to save it, if OneDrive, a SharePoint site or locally. At least nowadays.

I totally agree. I don't understand this at all. It's a form of status seeking that only happens in these particular circles and appears totally insane to everyone on the outside.

From reading the article the whole thing appears to be caused by their job and their friends.

If I had that job maybe I'd get infected by this mindset too, I'm glad I'm not.
This is 100% the answer for Western countries. Most k-12 schools have decent wireless in the US today. And they also have massive restrictions on its use due to all of those reasons.
X doubt

I can't imagine that ruminating on bad experiences makes one more resilient in the long-run. I've certainly been there, and the only thing that helped me was to move on, but to each their own.

The concurrence in the explosion of talk therapy and depression/anxiety diagnoses--as well as deaths of misery, like suicide and drug overdoses--supports this claim, but doesn't prove it, obviously.

I have resisted talk therapy because it does not provide measurably good outcomes.
772 partners?

Until wordpress.com removed the number of their partners they were sharing data with they had about that number, including one company that has a Data Retention period of 4320 days - that's almost 12 years.

That in and of itself is not cheap.
> I’m unsure why the UN + Arab Nations don’t take control of the situation, get rid of Hamas

Why? They don't care. They are mostly dictatorships, and it seems to me that it's good for the dictators if the conflict continues, so they can use Israel as something external to try to keep the people angry at (lower risk for revolution).
A business of Internet-connected cameras which automatically hash and commit the hashes of photos they take, unaltered, would give that claim much more credence. I suppose this idea doesn't come up all that often because of the hardware changes involved, but I could see this being very handy for anyone who needs to verify that photos are real in a professional capacity.

Except goroutines will absolutely spawn a thread which a coroutine by definition wont.

Goroutines are parallel, coroutine are concurrent. Those are not the same thing.

Coroutines co-operatively yeild to other coroutines. Parallel constructs run in parallel at the same time. Goroutines can run in parallel at the same time and thus are not a coroutine.
Also of interest, you can use the cluster command to reorder rows fysically on disc according to an index. This helps you cluster all active records, and cluster all deleted records. This way you can keep the records in one table, but more efficient querying as you need to read less database blocks.
Apple does a lot of things right, for better or worse.

Want copy paste? It’s consistent across the whole system because you have one choice. You don’t have to guess how the pop up is going to work beyond context. Other more open platforms get messy and fragmented hoping the developer chose a good implementation.

Want encrypted messaging? Easy, just talk to other iPhones. Want less infection risk? Live in Apple’s walled garden. I get less calls from grandparents asking for iOS assistance than Android, the interface is more intuitively laid out.

Have years of apps purchased with no way to transfer without paying again? You’re probably not switching.
I don't get what your problem is. Nobody is forcing you to use alternative app stores on iOS. Just stick to the official Apple one and nothing will change for you. Why do you wish a worse experience on others when you're not impacted by the new changes?

For example I would love to use Apple, IF, they were more open and less hostile. So they're loosing potential customers by being stuck-up and stubborn.
> Okay, I'm literally terrified about not being in the top 1% or top 10% of everything I do. Scared.

You're not in the top 1% of posters on this site. How do you deal with that utter failure? Sure, you can make excuses, but face it, you're not in the top 1%, 10%, or even top 90% of this site in points.

These points are, of course, worthless, but holding yourself to an unachievable standard is ridiculous. One might even say it's the top 1% of ridiculousness. And how about things that are contradictory? If you're in the top 1% of people who get 8 hours of sleep every night, you're automatically disqualified from being in the top 1% of people who get 4 hours of less a night. If you're in a top 10% country for Gini inequality, are you also in a top 10% country for happiness?

You're not in the top 10% of wealth already, so you've already failed at that. Just do the best you can and have some self-compassion. By all means, push yourself to do your best, but don't kill yourself over the fact that there's always going to be someone better than you at something.
> You can vote

And of course I did. None of the politicians I voted for won. Turns out proposing populist measures, like "be tough on those evil multinational corporations" is much more electable than saying uncomfortable truths like "EU is falling behind on tech - we need to lower taxation and reduce regulation if we want to have a fighting chance of catching up".

> What you have zero of is knowledge of how the EU works

Please teach me then. What you said so far ("vote") is not only well known but is also quite ineffective - if you know how EU works actually, not just apparently.
Presumably oezi wants to do that complicated three-party OAuth stuff.

How about we bring back juries, big and truly random ones (at least 12 people, not haggled over, not filtered). Then give the jury some options to sanction judges and lawyers for blatant bullshit. It doesn't have to be harsher than firing them.

All legitimate government power is supposed to come from the people, I feel like that's often forgotten, especially when it comes to the least accountable branch of government.
Pretty much. Right to Buy made her popular, and made a single generation of people richer, but at the cost of destroying the housing market in the long term.
They just shut down their car project that spent $10,000,000,000 over 10 years. That’s $1,000,000,000 a year, $1 Billion dollars a year for 10 years on an ultimately shuttered project.

Yes, they do.

Yes, they are incredibly useful and performant in real time state machines. One of the best features of the language in certain situations.
This is another good spot. Xr0's logical/arithmetic analysis is currently limited because we've been more focused on getting the structures of the language working as a whole. So you'll get more of these asserts if you try using `&&`, ternaries, and so on.

Perhaps its because most have passports, and a passport is often used as the proof of ID? In my home country every citizen gets an identity card with some important details on it. ID theft is basically non-existent there.

For NMVe drives? All the components are made by third party vendors -- except Samsung who makes their own ASIC. As long as your GB written per day is well below their warranty, you will be fine.
In my experience it’s not exactly trivial to validate code you didn’t write yourself, because you have to think through it in similar depth to when you write it yourself. While on the one hand you save the time of coming up with a solution, the task of merely verifying an existing solution is also more tedious, because it isn’t intermixed with the problem-solving activity that you perform when writing the code yourself. There is an increased risk to fall for code that looks correct at first blush but is still subtly wrong, because you didn’t spend time iterating on it. It doesn’t seem plausible to me that you would save 90% of the work, unless it’s boiler plate-heavy code that requires only little analytical though.
I was going to say humans do something like hallucinate all the time - we come up with what ifs, fiction and so on. I think the thing is we then hopefully go back and check if it seems real or made up, which would not necessarily be hard to do in LLMs. Having come up with a fact it could google it to check for example - something I do myself.

It's interesting with the "shape rotator" or physics engine type stuff OpenAI's Sora video thing seems to have picked up a reasonable amount of that.

The current LLMs seem to miss out on a looping thinking aspect as in I could do option A - visualise it - not that wouldn't be good because of some problem - how about option B and so on that we humans call thinking about things. But it seems that could be programmed in.
I am forced to use “apps” for everything, and they are (still) terrible. It might be the best way to access platform apis, but that does not make it a good way.
Does it not have support for odt? I haven't used it much, but I do generally prefer it to libreoffice if I need to create or edit a document nowadays.
This is why it’s requirement that all “smart” devices in my house can fall back to “dumb” use. Smart switches are the way forward here. They work just the same as existing switches, but I can also control them via automation, voice, or an app.

I normally recommend people start their home automation journey with smart bulbs, ideally in their bedroom so they can speak their lights off and on while in bed, but long-term, switches are the best.
