Except in Sweden, what this means in practice, is that you only see the income/cap gains taxes paid of ordinary middle class people.

Rich people in the Nordics hold their wealth in foreign companies as retained earnings, and thus that wealth accrues gains/dividends tax free and remains invisible until they sell off a small portion for the purpose of buying something.

It's "transparency" only for the plebs. Americans cannot do this, as they are subject to global tax and extra punitive taxation on foreign withheld earnings.

Also, Swedes don't have the same level of real estate transparency that there is in America (property tax assessments put a public value on everyone's holdings in the US). Wealthy folks holding real estate between different countries in Europe makes the whole situation more shadowy than you might think.
Scams exist because the scamming industry is a large fraction of gdp in some countries and the byzantine financial system doesn't allow for reversing charges.

This may be a misinterpretation in the study but even if every single multilingual person in the US was counted as not being proficient the number would not meaningfully change in context of the conversation (i.e. still above 1/3 in the extreme case).
"Regressive" in this context really doesn't mean anything, it's a label that is reached for when politically convenient.

The question is what will consumers be ditching Hertz for? Electric cars as an economical proposition have already proved themselves. That debate is pretty much over. So, why can't Hertz make it work? And who else can disrupt them and how quickly?

It's a wast if they are mostly all trying the SAME things. Which is mostly what is happening.

I want someone to spend a million on a Chess LLM so we can get a sense of how sophisticated they can get at non-linguistic pattern matching.

I want someone to spend a million on an LLM trained on Python program traces so we can try to teach it cause and effect and "debugging". Maybe it will emulate a Python interpreter and get highly reliable at predicting the outcome of Python code.

etc.
Reaching out and nuking other... whatever you call them, "execution contexts" is what I go for to be maximally generic (thread/async task/continuation/generator/etc.), can particularly cause problems if the context was going to do X, Y, and Z and expected to be able to be guaranteed to run Z, but Y killed it. The standard example is for X to be taking a lock and Z to release it, but there are a lot of ways to get into trouble and the obvious first solutions don't work.

Erlang solves it by locking what things it has that can have that problem behind other execution contexts that don't get killed when the main one dies, so they can still clean up. ("Ports", in their terminology.) Haskell solves it by being a functional language and beating the collective community's head in it for several years. (Immutability helped a lot, laziness took out back.)

If that sounds impossible... hey, great! Then I just pattern matched on something that wasn't a match. If that doesn't sound impossible, then it may be worth a look around.

Synchronousness may not really matter, I've kind of thought that "asynchronous exception" is not a good name for the issue for a while, but it's what it gets called. It's really about one execution context lobbing errors/exceptions into others. Although being synchronous would avoid the worst timing issues.
Don't disagree. I regard Tan as a (powerful) local optimization where the counter argument to broader optimizations is that they're riskier. The latter are though more fundamental. New businesses, new processes, new products are one thing. Profit-taking is another. To get new industries you need far-ranging optimizations.

Common core has a lot of potentially useful stuff for learning basic math in an intuitive and fun way. But the math it teaches to a 8 year old is never under 2000 years old.

We could be teaching 8 year olds how to use crayon drawings to solve differential equations, graphically analyze back propagation, analyze electronic circuits, and validate quantum teleportation protocols. This stuff is fun and relevant to understanding the technological world all around us.

It would be about as easy and fun as common core. We have a lot of new math from just the last 15 years that shows us how to present these really complicated subjects in a simple way by doodling diagrams that are so simple that even a kid could learn it.

For an example, look up "Kindergarten Quantum Mechanics" by Abramsky and Coecke. They only joke about teaching it to kids. But I think that kind of stuff is definitely how we'll teach our kids 100 years from now, when quantum computers might be important for even kids to understand.

I’m surprised at the suggestion to override the user’s choice to place the phone in silent mode. It sounds like they suggest exploiting features designed for apps providing media playback (or alarms?).

When would it ever be appropriate to force your ambient sound design on a user who’s specifically switched sound off? Isn’t it partly this sort of excess that leads users to keep their phone on silent in the first place?

I felt relieved at their claim that 50-60% of users keep their phone on silent. I’m only one of those users, but, designers, as a single point of anecdata: no matter how tasteful you believe your sound design is, treating my preference as a problem to be circumvented will absolutely anger and alienate me.
The key is to raise multiple funds so you get the 3-5% from each one :)
Interesting move by Google. I wonder what the reasoning was behind the layoff.

People who work at Google are indeed very fortunate. We are paid large sums of money. I feel like I've found a pot of gold and give significant portions of my income away to the less fortunate directly because I feel that so much of my pay is based on luck.

However, Google employees only capture a fraction of Google's profits. Google made twenty five billion dollars in profit in Q1. Annualized that is 100b. Google has 180,000 employees. That is 555,555 in profit per employee. If Google was really existing in service of its employees rather than its investors, as it would be in a socialist system, then I'd expect my pay to rise dramatically.

Agreed. There are countless old models you can buy off eBay, drop in a new SSD and battery, install your distro of choice and keep using for several more years. Almost all models of that kind have a lot of serviceable parts, for example replacing the thermal paste is usually easy and makes the cooling better than it was brand new.

I haven't bought one myself simply because I have my own units that still work 10-15 years later. The screens mean they're dreadful as actual hands-on laptop experiences, but they're perfectly fine for home servers with built-in battery backup and management console.

Out of curiosity as an adult how much category theory have you learned? Why aren't you doing more to find applications for the complex and abstract math? Don't you feel a duty and skill to advanced the state of play? Don't you feel an inherent gift and ability to do so? Why or why not?

My feeling is that we're producing graduates who don't understand abstract math or how to turn it into value in the real world. Category theory would only provide the abstraction part. I think we'd still have to work hard to instill the duty to translate abstract math into real human values. That's why we got to teach both the abstraction and the translation to people at a very early age. Otherwise they will simply never do it for themselves.

It doesn't necessarily have to be leadership. It could be communication, documentation, culture, any number of things. Yes, we are engineers and we work on technical challenges. But nothing is done in isolation, everything is collaboration. The better engineers are the ones that realize this sooner. Even if one person writes amazing code, someone else has to test it, someone has to ship it, someone has to maintain it. These are all engineering problems.

Or, keep a set of single-use backup codes for 2FA. Google offers this[1], though I don't know if Apple does or not.

Or, KISS. If you're happy with the idea that the SIM card controls the key to the castle, as it seems that you are, then: Put a backup code in a contact in your SIM card. (It is kind of a lost art these days, but SIM cards are still data storage devices here in 2024.)

There never was a point in the period of time when people filed taxes in the US that the government wasn’t entitled to know your salary. It used to take more time and effort to get the info, but better technology doesn’t change the game, it highlights that it wasn’t a « shared secret ».

Is it possible companies will plant honeypots using non-exisiting unique words to detect if LLM crawlers are bypassing their do-not-crawl policies?

I think that depends on how advanced the software used to detect plagiarism has become and how unique your data is. Big data LLM's combine massive data sets so your data would have to be unique enough to remain untainted. Perhaps a more generalized practice would be to play the cat and mouse arms race of trying to evolve protection against bots. Most fail at this game. Even if the big players were stopped by bot protection and legal agreements, nothing would stop them from buying your data from the unscrupulous scrapers that claim they obtained it legitimately.
That is very cool, played far more than I thought I would. Great job!

I have three strings of ws2812b LEDs on my kitchen controlled by two ESP8266s with PIR sensors, providing various under-cupboard lighting. It sounds over-engineered and was quite a lot of work to set up, but I chose to 'roll my own' because I couldn't find anything pre-made with the right combination of features without being too bulky. (Honestly, I'd happily have bought someone's product instead.)

A nice bonus is that I can program different patterns to suit moods or events. (For example, my partner requested scrolling red and green stripes for Christmas.)

A visa is not permanent, but it might as well be for Indian and Chinese citizens. The green card lottery can easily take decades. You could have gone to college, got married, had kids, bought a house, and maybe even see your kids graduate college and have kids of their own before you get guaranteed residency in the US.

"Oh you should be happy you had a good thing going" is not something I'd find especially comforting if I was told I needed to rapidly uproot my entire life and leave a country I've spent decades in.
It's the same one. The answer is yeah it is difficult. It is evident based on the fact that no country in the history hasn't been able to achieve.

"Making citizens to be resilient to propaganda"?

While we should try to do our best, it's also not mutually exclusive to remove bad propaganda. Yet you make it sound like the 2 actions are mutually exclusive for some reason.
Is there a specific country's tax system that you look up to as the ideal?

I see often people claim that the US tax code sucks (nobody is going to defend it with the rising inequality), but there isn't any proposal about how exactly to enact the changes while still keeping the benefits of the tax code that apply to the disadvantaged.

Also, I'd like to point out that the tax code has every type of federal tax, administrative elements, and isn't just about income tax, and I'd argue that most of the federal tax code has nothing to do with "loopholes for the rich".

> There are problems that are easy for human beings but hard for current LLMs (and maybe impossible for them; no one knows). Examples include playing Wordle and predicting cellular automata (including Turing-complete ones like Rule 110). We don’t fully understand why current LLMs are bad at these tasks.

I thought we did know for things like playing Wordle, that its because they deal with words as sequence of tokens that correspond to whole words not sequences of letters, so a game that involves dealing with sequences of letters constrained to those that are valid words doesn’t match the way they process information?

> Providing an LLM with examples and step-by-step instructions in a prompt means the user is figuring out the “reasoning steps” and handing them to the LLM, instead of the LLM figuring them out by itself. We have “reasoning machines” that are intelligent but seem to be hitting fundamental limits we don’t understand.

But providing examples with different, contextually-appropriate sets of reasoning steps results can enable the model to choose its own, more-or-less appropriate, set of reasoning steps for particular questions not matching the examples.

> It’s unclear if better prompting and bigger models using existing attention mechanisms can achieve AGI.

Since there is no objective definition of AGI or test for it, there’s no basis for any meaningful speculation on what can or cannot achieve it; discussions about it are quasi-religious, not scientific.

You probably hail from a place that has fairly settled abortion law though right? America never settled theres state by state in the 70s and 80s, as they should have, instead the supreme court stuffed an overarching and unconstitutional position down everyones throats. This led to the antiabortion lobby massively growing and the federal reversal of the ruling a couple years ago. Now we are living through what we should have lived through 50 years ago but we have a massively more polarized electorate, which makes a reasonable outcome much more difficult to achieve in a reasonable amount of time. as an atheist who is a big fan of abortion, its pretty frustrating.
