You're both wrong -- if you need two different resources as inputs to make something, and either missing makes the process impossible, it doesn't matter what your subjective opinions are when deciding which is more valuable. They are equally necessary and that's all there is to it.

So how come some input resources are priced a lot more highly than others? How come sometimes, say, labor gets a big cut and capital a small cut, and other times the other way around?

Supply and demand. Bargaining power. That's why. Nothing to do whatsoever with the actual value involved in the process.

What portion of the value we apportion to the suppliers of each resource is purely a political question based on bargaining power -- who is less willing to withdraw from providing their resources, etc

To use your sports analogy, if this magic genius coach can easily find plenty of any old players to execute his strategy with, then I guess he will manage to absorb the lion's share of profits. If it's hard to find players relative to supply/demand, then it doesn't matter if they're dipshits who barely manage to do anything and who just do what the coach says, it doesn't matter if anyone could do what they do. All that matters is the coach needs them and there's not enough of them. You can't have a team without the coach and you can't have a team without the players, regardless of their respective merits.

How you divide the spoils among resourceholders all of whom are critical to the process is purely political, based on leverage and negotiation, not based on actual "value" which cannot be computed unless a sports team can exist without players or without a coach and merely be a little, measurably worse.
Don’t look too closely or you might realize that your value system is not universal, and that it is an artificial construct and depends on all sorts of other artificial constructs such as a market system.

You can’t seriously believe that you can outperform 100,000 people, but that wasn’t my point. He has teams of people using among other things HPC to perform calculations that are both conceptually and computationally beyond an individual’s reach.

Exactly. This is not a food company. We're talking about a product (live event tickets) that is totally optional and which nobody has to buy. This should be the simplest "vote with your wallet" scenario ever. If everyone collectively stopped buying the tickets, they'd either be out of business or be forced to change their practices. People like their bands more than they dislike Ticketmaster, so TM is not going to voluntarily change.
I used to write software around cattle traceability, mainly for the Australian & New Zealand markets.

Both jurisdictions have an official traceability scheme - each animal is legally mandated to have a unique identifier (RFID), and its birth, movement between locations, and death are recorded in a national database - NLIS[0] for Australia and NAIT[1] for New Zealand.

In theory - if a disease outbreak happens, you find the animals RFID by scanning the eartag, alert the relevant government agency, and they have a full record of where the animal has been, which other animals it might have been in contact with, etc etc. I say "in theory" because recording an animals movements is not always well practiced or enforced - but this is hearsay, I'm not a farmer.

Interestingly, the US has its own scheme, US Cattle Trace [2]. In my estimation it's technically superior as it has provisions for ultra high frequency RFID tags, making it a lot easier to scan animals (AU & NZ are stuck with antiquated low-frequency tags by law). The scheme, however, remains voluntary.

The independence of the DOJ has always been perceived as important. A lot of ink was spilt about this during the Trump administration, as they attempted to undermine these norms (e.g.: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/restoring-integrity...), with some degree of success. You may recall Trump's various battles to get the DOJ to do things that the DOJ didn't want to do (and unfortunately, in some cases, he did get his way, but a lot of the time, he did not). One of the key objectives of Project 2025 is to claim control of the operations of the DOJ from the "unaccountable bureaucratic managerial class and radical Left ideologues who have embedded themselves throughout its offices and components": https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHA...

I just benchmarked the three versions (in Rust, with criterion) on my Coffee Lake CPU. The quartiles are:

Naive version, best case: [481.40 ps 487.84 ps 494.56 ps]

Naive version, mid case: [751.56 ps 758.84 ps 766.17 ps]

Naive version, worst case: [953.71 ps 970.95 ps 994.65 ps]

Packed bitfield version: [685.98 ps 698.25 ps 711.57 ps]

So on average, the naive version and packed bitfield versions are within 10% of one another. Modern CPUs frequently don't benefit much from these kinds of tricks anymore.

I have a programmable keyboard which I have bound underscore to LeftAlt+N, input with my left thumb + right index fingers. The first key is functionally not a Left Alt key, it is a layer key that shares the same position as where you would find a Left Alt key on keyboards.

But you do have a point because not everybody has access to programmable keyboards almost all the time. Maybe snake_case isn't that ergonomic now that I think about it, although I find it easier to read than camelCase.

It makes sense if you don't use politically-motivated "definitions".

Conservative is defined[1] as:

>a: tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions

>b: marked by moderation or caution

>c: marked by or relating to traditional norms of taste, elegance, style, or manners

Liber/libre is the origin for words like liberal and liberty, meaning freedom. Liberal is defined[2] as:

>2 a: marked by generosity

>4: not literal or strict

>a: one who is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional, or established forms or ways

[1]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservative

[2]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/liberal

While they might seem at odds (one observes tradition, the other does not necessarily), they are not mutually exclusive and there is significant political overlap in espousing moderation/caution and freedom ("generosity", "not strict", "open-minded"). Small government is the most obvious form of this overlap.

Conservatism for political contexts can thus be defined as a desire to exercise a minimum (and ideally no) enforcement of powers in order to protect and guarantee people's freedoms, and a general desire to oppose change unless a change can be demonstrably warranted.

As for the saying, the older we get the harder we are set in how we live and conduct ourselves. A man builds stronger and stronger ideals and an identity that defines what is good and evil as far as he is concerned. We become more conservative as we grow older.
It's not about taking sides, it's about not caring. Everyone is tired of getting worked up over super rich CEOs being "aggressive" to their very rich employees and your,"if you're not with us, you're against us" attitude.

We don't even have unquestionable evidence about smoking. Tons of people say things like "I'm more likely to be hit by a car so I'm just going to smoke"

Agreed. It largely immaterial to the issue. I'm curious though, what political appointees in the DOJ do you see evidence of making decisions to drop or pick up specific cases?
> especially when you have a bunch of nested functions

In non-lispy langs like JS, deeply nested statements could lead to callback hell or pyramid of doom, making the code harder to read, understand, and debug.

In Lisps, nested expressions are common and idiomatic due to the Lisp's code-as-data philosophy. In Lisps, code is composed of expressions that can be composed together, with each expression potentially being an evaluation of other sub-expressions. This doesn't lead to a pyramid of doom, since the emphasis often is on data transformation rather than orchestration of side effects. Nested expressions allow you to build complex behaviors from simpler ones in a very direct and composable manner, thereby making code concise and easy to reason about.

Deeply nested statements in Javascript often hurt readability and maintainability, while nested expressions e.g., in Clojure typically enhance them due to their emphasis on code/data composition and transformation. It is a difference of chaotic complexity versus structured and intended composition.
I am immensely surprised by all the speculation in comments. NVIDIA simply hit a lucky streak. They rode out the crypto fad from last decade and happens to fall on the AI fad of this decade. If it continues, competitors will eventually catch up as regardless of how slow the behemoths are currently, if something transforms into a stable gold mine instead of random lucky streak, other competitors will start offering cheaper and competitive shovels. Just my 2c, you have the right to disagree :)
He was obviously lying, and he probably also knew people would not believe it. I just don't know why he still chose to do it.
I feel like we're having some kind of vocabulary issue here? My neighbors (the individuals who own property bordering mine) are neither legislators nor lobbyists. As such they have no access to the legislative process, and thus no control over what is or isn't a legal use of my property. To be absolutely clear "The People" can't do a damned thing. Local/State/Federal government is another matter entirely to be sure, but it's not like my neighbor can walk into the county courthouse and reasonably expect to have legislation drafted that alters land ownership rights.

I had a very interesting work-study job in my first year in college, teaching dyslexic students who were struggling with basic algebra - essentially, walking through their homework assignments with them. Success meant figuring out some way of presenting the problem that worked for them, typically with some kind of physical example. I remember one student in particular could simply not grasp the notion that feeding x into a function f(x) would generate a point y on a two-dimensional graph, not even for a simple straight line, let alone an exponential or sine curve. Eventually a machine analogy worked: here's a vegetable slicer, you throw a number into it, it spits out another number - reproducibly. To describe this machine, we write an algebraic equation.

However, this would have been absolutely impossible in a large class - these students needed individually tailored one-on-one attention for at least an hour each to get the ideas across to them. Some parents can afford to hire such private tutors, some can't.

Also, people seem to have natural affinities for different areas of mathematics, just like people naturally take to different sports. I have no idea of whether genetics plays a role, although clearly in physical sports body types matter - the long-distance runner is unlikely to also be a champion weightlifter, etc. I've also noticed that some people who claim to be 'bad at math' often have good mathematical skills that they don't even think of as math, e.g. combinatorics as applied to playing games like cards or Scrabble.

In the end, mathematics is a hard subject and students who want to master any aspect of it will need at least three hours of study on their own (or assisted) for each hour spent in class listening to an instructor. It's not for everyone, and that's okay.
According to the Vox article, it's much more complicated legally. It's not part of each employee's contract that allows this, it's part of the articles of incorporation of the for-profit part of OpenAI.
> I honestly do not understand how just because one gets older they are supposed to suddenly think these things are okay.

Well I don't think it is that they "become OK"; I suspect the effect is that at some point over the course of 40 years most people have the click moment where they start earning some money, realise that the politicians are willing to talk about what is in the news but not what actually matters, and start aligning based on economic incentives.

Picking on the US, the government makes up 40% of the economy, and it appears that an entire generation of capital formation just happened in China rather than in the Americas. All the stuff you listed is a concern, but I think there is a pretty good argument that the entire Trump phenomenon is the backlash against decades of fumbled economic policy that the corporate media has not effectively grappled.
This is how anything political (big or small P) works.

Aspirations keep people voting against their interests.

I personally worry that the way fans of OpenAI and Stability AI are lining up to criticise artists for demanding to be compensated, or accusing them of “gatekeeping” could be folded into a wider populism, the way 4chan shitposting became a political position. When populism turns on artists it’s usually a bad sign.

Because money doesn't buy happiness, and a lot of the increase in purchasing power is pointless stuff like the fact that you can buy an iPad that's twice as powerful for half the cost, or get YouTube for free instead of paying $50 for cable, while the things that really matter like housing go up in price relative to wages.

If you want to feel richer, look on Amazon/AliExpress and try to remember what stuff like that used to cost decades ago. It's not BS, it's very real. It's amazing how cheap random knickknacks are now.

But, you're right -- it's a pyrrhic victory because I'd rather own my own home and have a tough time affording a breadmaker and blender than rent forever and easily afford having all the gadgets that I do, and I think most people feel similarly.
Then why are they paid such obscene amounts of money?
> I have significant concern about this—that it is a story.

Your concerns are very correct but while you are willing to give him/her the benefit of the doubt, I am very very skeptical of their story; it sounds "too pat" and made up. If you look at their other replies there are too many incongruities and "movie plot tropes".

I have a better chance of winning the lottery than "learning mathematics starting from long division and progressing to a good job in the current hot market of AI/ML while working at Home Depot, sleeping on a air mattress, with almost no money and a dysfunctional family, studying at coffee shops and rising through a bunch of roles starting from lowly corporate IT into high-paying data science/ML and leading teams". It is all just a bit too much and beggars belief.

It's not just France. For about 100 years the debt was paid to France and for about 25 years it was paid to the US after the US invaded. What's today Citibank demanded the invasion. The US literally had marines take Haiti's entire gold reserve and cart it to Citibank's basement at 55 Wall Street.

The US took advantage of Haiti's revolt against slavery even after France had given up. By the time the US left, the UN said that it had stolen everything and forced Haitians into such horrific conditions they were close to starvation.

The e.g. image generation AI feature is using DALL-E externally and this kind of thing isn't free. The one time cost of a Windows license doesn't seem worth it, especially with the prices OEMs pay for them. There's gotta be other long term revenue generation goals driving it.

> Should we build a road is a classic political choice because people disagree even if it’s generally a net positive. Should we prosecute a murderer may qualify if there’s some twist (ex stand your ground) but not in the general case.

What laws get passed/repealed are decided on by people elected to office. Policies and priorities for departments are decided upon by political appointees. Decisions on cases though? Those are generally delegated to the civil service.

Now, from a practical standpoint, there's obviously ways you can muck with policies and priorities that can impact a particular case, just like there are ways that you can change the laws to muck with a particular case (you may recall when Florida went after Disney, they had to bend over backwards to draw up the law such that they could claim they weren't explicitly going after one company), but that's exactly the kind of stuff that draws criticism (and there are rules against it). There is absolutely a principle of independence & impartiality of the DOJ that's been the norm, even if recently that norm has been eroded.
