It is very common for Swedes to not fully and properly understand the general logic and mechanisms of our tax system.

The general principles in play are that

1) any benefit is taxed according to its equivalent cash value. (How much money would the employee need to pay to get an equivalent thing, if they paid out of pocket and without any cooperation of the employer)

2) A benefit "occurs" by being granted, not by being consumed.

In the cateen situation there is also a special simplification rule in play, where a generic cash value is defined each year for breakfast, lunch and dinner that is to be used as basis for taxation (almost) no matter what the actual costs for the meal is.

One significant problem I find with Reddit users
is that they tend to be unable to see past their

This hasn't been my experience at all over 10 years on Reddit, but I can very much believe many subreddits are that way. Given Reddit's decentralization and breadth it makes sense that two people would have very different experiences.
Well, we have three types of color "cones" in our retina, sensitive to different overlapping parts of the frequency spectrum, so the sensory input for any given color (mix of frequencies) of light is going to be those three types of cones all firing to varying degrees.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/colcon.htm...

So, since magenta is a mix of red and blue, our "red" and "blue" cones will be most active, but also our "green" cones since its frequency sensitivity also includes red and blue.

Some people have 4 types of color cones, not 3, and can therefore differentiate colors (mixes of light frequencies) that normal people can't.

But, anyways, our brains neural inputs when seeing various colors does not directly correspond to how we perceive them.

For instance, instead of:
"There’s this substance, like a soup, that fills the universe; that’s the Higgs field. As objects move through it, the soup slows them down, and that’s how they get mass."

Say:
"You know how, if you push your potato bit around in your soup, it starts to slow and eventually stops when you stop pushing it? We could plot the speed of the potato bit over time, and we'd notice that as soon as we stopped pushing, the potato bit's speed drops to zero. The Higgs field has a similar effect on an object's acceleration as the soup has on the potato bit's speed. How much the field affects the object's acceleration apparently defines the object's mass. I say "apparently", because the exact way the mass is defined is incompatible with this simplistic analogy. But as we can see with the potato bit in the soup, the effective 'soup mass' of the potato bit is a complicated function of the things around it, as well as the bit's intrinsic characteristics."

As a physicist by training, who once held ambitions to teach this stuff, I'm frequently very frustrated by people criticizing how physics is taught through (frequently very flawed) analogies, or via toy models. And part of my frustration is that the people who make these criticisms never had to try to teach the information to anyone who needed to know it. Its very easy to give a technically correct, fantastically nuanced, and perfectly incoherent-to-the-layman account of just about anything in physics. While a sufficiently focused student can derive all of known electromagnetic theory (including relativistic phenomena) just from Maxwell's equations, the standard graduate-level textbook on electrodynamics weighs more than 3 pounds, because that simplicity of expression is deeply misleading.

Part of why Feynman's elementary physics lectures were so popular amongst his peers was because he had a way of picking analogies that cast light into the shadows created by the biases from their own years of study. But if you aren't already inculcated to the vagaries of physics nomenclature, even Feynman, the most celebrated physics educator of the modern era, is hard to parse. You MUST develop the intuitions of a physicist to understand what makes his introductory lectures so insightful. So when Feynman says "I couldn't reduce it to the freshman level. That means we really don't understand it.", it's less an expression of how poorly he understands it, but rather an expression of how "can I explain this in under an hour to a disinterested 19 year old?" is a really poor a metric of understanding. Granted, there's a ton of background knowledge baked into the observation that "spin one-half particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics" (in that incident that caused the quote). Its ultimately a pretty trivial calculation, once you understand how statistical mechanics is derived, but getting to that point is not at all trivial.
> And unless I am missing something it wasn't available on this alternative store until today. What does that change about the conversation?

See the sibling response.

> Clearly not since it is available on the Apple App Store in every country other than the EU.

As of… TODAY! Day of the release of the alternative store. What a marvelous coincidence for an emulator that has been submitted years ago on the App store and blocked by Apple for all this time!

Yes, Apple recently changed their policy about emulators … as a result of the exact same Digital Market Act that allowed this alternative store to exist. Again, this isn't a coincidence, it's just how the consequences of the regulation are unfolding and how Apple is trying to cope with it (in a surprisingly clumsy way).

I have been saying similar things to my fellow technical writers ever since the ChatGPT explosion. We now have a tool that makes semantic search on arbitrary, diverse input much easier. Improved semantic search could make a lot of common technical writing workflows much more efficient.

> Translate that into heroine or cocaine consumption and only after that we can compare the results.

Is that even possible under prohibition? So much of how substances are used is cultural. If cocaine was truly legal, maybe they would sell it in doses that were equivalent to a cup of coffee.

> There's a reason why selling alcohol is much easier.

Because it's so culturally ingrained? Because it's too easy to make to really illegalize it? Because it's a huge money maker, which is more important than societal good?

> You can't get hooked on alcohol by drinking it milligrams at time, like opioids.

Not miligrams of liquid, but you're counting the filler.

> If you were buying the substance on the streets at the black market, it would cost you pennies.

There was alcohol prohibition in america. This did not turn out to be the case.

You're arguing based on gut, not science or history. The fact is, there's no evidence that legalizing drugs leads to reefer madness or cocaine madness or whatever. Would more people try coke if it was legal? Maybe. Maybe some people try it now because it's illegal and that adds to the sex appeal.

Mostly capital? Honestly, I have no idea how to get initial capital. Yeah, I know what site we're on lol. But I'm not from a top university and honestly I'd like to focus on actual AGI not this LLM stuff (LLMs are great, but lol they won't scale to AGI).

> We explore the potential of self-training models on their own outputs, akin to how humans learn and build on their previous thoughts and actions.

I feel like humans for the most part don't just blindly update their beliefs based on whatever thought or action they just did. Humans will often take some sort of action based on their thoughts and then observe how successful their action was. Then they can update based on the feedback signal.
> The main reason why you “have not seen anything that the release on the App Store was held up by apple” is that because you did not want to see it, because it goes against your believes (believes that have been manufactured by Apple's propaganda machine).

I really feel like it should be obvious that I am talking about since apple made the policy change regarding emulators. It is well understood that before about a month or so ago there was a policy against emulators.

I am talking about since that policy change went into effect and the software was in place for it (as in the iOS version was rolled out).

Apple had allowed am emulator on the App Store within the last couple weeks, which doesn't line up with your conspiracy theory that the only reason this one was allowed was because of their own store.

And no this is not 100% on apple. The developer could have put it on the App Store in all regions. Again, Apple approved an emulator recently.

That's got to be Reddit's biggest challenge.

A) Suspension is a great way to pretend you're addressing a problem while sweeping it under the rug. If the administrators aren't willing to mediate conflict among students, they should find another line of work. The school has a responsibility to educate their students. If they fail to do that for a student without finding alternate placement better equipped to handle whatever problem they face, they failed in their responsibility.

B) If a student has a consistent enough problem with antisocial behavior that they require constant intervention, they should be in a non-mainstream classroom or school that can address that problem while still fulfilling their responsibility to educate them.

C) There's a whole lot of punishment doled out in schools for non-violent conduct violations. Caught skipping class? Caught vaping in the parking lot? Dress code violation? Caught copying someone's test? Caught using a phone multiple times when you're not supposed to?

You seem to be deliberately implying that questioning any suspension means you support violence in school, which is completely ridiculous. Everything in life can be turned into a black-and-white issue if you ignore enough details and context.
Messy Nessy is a popular blog and Django Reinhardt is "considered by some the greatest guitarist who ever lived," so I find it odd that you'd declare that his music hasn't aged well.

I drank a couple Cokes a day for many, many years. I finally decided to quit. It took a full year before losing desire for Coke. I tried a few sips of it, and it actually tasted bad.

Switched to diet Coke, and drank that for a few more years. Then decided that was probably just as bad, and now drink sparkling water.

I no longer have any desire to drink sweetened beverages of any sort.

Being older, I decided to stop eating all ice cream, cookies, candy bars, pie, etc., about 2 months ago. This is difficult. I've tried that before, and failed.

>When the cost of drilling oil and converting to gasoline outweighs the cost of manufacturing hydrogen, the current oil giants will pivot.

It is actually cheaper and greener to burn fossil fuels to make electricity for EVs, and just capture the CO2 emissions released than to produce hydrogen.

Virtually 100% of H2 sold today is 'blue hydrogen,' meaning it is derived from steam methane reforming of natural gas, a process that actually generates more Greenhouse Gas than simply burning natural gas [1].

'Green Hydrogen' produced from the electrolysis of water is incredibly expensive (about 3-4x more than Blue). Both are mature technologies that are unlikely to get cheaper at larger scale.

The instructions are a product of both the prosecution and defense and largely just lay out what components the state is supposed to prove in order to satisfy the requirements of each of the charges. Those requirements are not as simple as just what's in the law and often are modified by court cases which is why they exist.

I do think juries have a role in using nullification judiciously but it's also important to remember the most prominent and wide spread use of jury nullification in history was during the Jim Crow era when juries routinely refused to convict or charge (in the case of grand juries) lynching cases.

GP exaggerated but I have experiences looking say for a bottle of water or ice cream cone that is not Nestle and failing (not in US)
Nestlé is a corporate serial killer who should have been given the death penalty years ago. The fact that we know what they've done before, but still have to watch them continue to intentionally hurt children over and over again across decades while nothing is done about it just shows how our society has been shaped to make us powerless. If we had any ability at all to impose meaningful consequences against Nestlé we'd clearly have done it by now. If the literal millions of infants they murdered weren't enough to make that happen, and the millions of child slaves harvesting their cocoa hasn't, I very much doubt that added sugar is going to be the thing that finally does.
