I know the friction to add websites is the point, but might I recommend a way to add our own websites without having to promote two others. My rinkydink website qualifies, but all the other small websites I know are all already on the list.
Not sure how to answer. I have a bookcase of maybe a thousand volumes, and every evening choose an old favorite to read before bed.

Why? Old friends; been a long time so they're fresh again; authors that quit producing, this is all I have. That's some of 'why'.
Well, there are 2 caveats to this as explained in the linked thread.

First, that interest rates for loans like that are higher than if you have the asset valuation to get loans from lenders that specialize in that kind of thing.

Second, that when you die you're subject to a 40% tax on your estate over your lifetime tax free gift limit, so it makes more sense to use irrevocable trusts to help shelter your estate from that in the event of your death.

Sure. But you can pick pretty much any piece of technology from the era and say the same thing: "How the hammer led to the oppression of Indigenous People in the American west".

> One could and probably should understand that the beauty of the Railroad is inseperable from the subjugation of the indiginous tribes and the labor abuses that built it. Should those things be ignored because they make you uncomfortable? It's perfectly contextual to have that in this piece....

Someone else on this thread tried the same rhetorical feint. Who told you that I am "uncomfortable"? Did the fact that I cited events and dates somehow convince you that I didn't know about these events before now? That I just became aware of the story of the US westward expansion because this author dropped it into her Amtrak feature?

Look, if you want to write (or read) a thesis on the influence of the locomotive on the oppression of indigenous people, that's great. I bet there's one to be written. But this is just lazy, dumb, superficial propaganda, dropped into a puff piece.
You folks are reading the sentence wrong. The $6T estimate is for all assets controlled by family offices _generally_
> It’s buying politicians and distorting society so they pay less.

If you had the time and resources, wouldn't you try to affect change in government? It's not fundamentally any different than showing up to your city council meeting to get housing developments approved/blocked, for instance. Moreover, most people don't think of themselves as bad people, so they probably legitimately think they're doing the Right Thing™, rather than being some sort of cartoonishly evil villain trying to ruin society by starving government of funding.

You can do a lot to improve your odds of hitting 90 vs what actuarial tables show. Baseline may only be 15% but a very healthy lifestyle can get close to 50/50 which isn’t some major stroke of luck.

No, they just want yachts. Zuckerberg has bought many things that do not really affect him financially.

Rock, Paper, Scissors: Humans versus AI
Strange - some years ago a visiting Japanese Engineer was asked "What do you do on the weekend?" and answered with an eye-roll "In Japan, week is Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday-Friday-Friday".

What matter if they make it four 'Fridays'?
yeah, this is super common here in the US. Off-duty cops are in demand as security guards and they can work in uniform, which to me is all kinds of weird. You can literally "rent a cop" (an expression used as a joke about mall security guards who are typically not cops at all) this way, complete with full police powers.
moving the funds into the trust would be a taxable event, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Shocked? It's pretty clear they dominate the market, they set the price/perf and release windows. AMD gave up being a disruptor and just follows them.

loll these people just don't know how far ahead OpenAI is
They aren't releasing their best stuff because they genuinely don't know how to make it safe for the public
ChatGPT is still dominating and so will what comes up next. All these AI wrapper companies just give them more business
I just gave you real examples of how they're so inconsistent and difficult on Mac.

Linux uses Ctrl for most things, you don't even need to lift the finger up away from Ctrl for most shortcuts. Super key is only used for OS shortcuts. Linux is way more consistent in its application.

On Mac, the distinction between Ctrl, Option and Cmd is arbitrary.
This looks very much like it was created (at least partly) in response to the Digital Markets Act, which prohibits companies regulated under it ("Gatekeepers", https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/gatekeepers_en) from combining data across different services without the consent from the user.

Fines for DMA violations are up to 10% of global revenue (not profit) for the first violation, up to 20% for repeat violations, plus other penalties and remedies. Also, an ongoing fine of 5% of revenue until brought in compliance.

My impression is that DMA is taken quite seriously by Big Tech, especially given that it's clear that they're directly being targeted by it.
By far the most critical aspects of the state maintaining itself is to have the faith of the people, as a just and right entity that doesn't deserve to be smashed, whose blood is good for more than renewinf the tree of liberty

This ever expanding invasiveness delegitimizes the state. Physical security is a positive, only when the power itself is used respectably & virtuously. Pursuing enemies at all cost makes you a bad state, that can't be believed in. Some balance is required. Some limit to intrusion is necessary, and to me, this violates the sovereign rights of the citizens, to have so much of our lives repurposeable & cooptable by the state with ever increasing scope and haste.
You also don't have to be a millionaire to get a withdrawable margin loan on stocks you own, at not-too-terrible interest rates.

I think the piece that's missing (from my scenario and yours) is the assumption that your yearly gains from appreciation of the asset exceed your living expenses. That usually only happens reliably once the asset is worth tens of millions of dollars, at least. Especially if you have a family.
It’s not just animation causing the problem.

There are so many cases where I touched a button and it’s so slow that I tap again, but when it finally responds, it does the thing twice or changes the UI under me and I tap a different button.

Or it changes color/flashes to acknowledge the touch, but does nothing until I’m super patient and try it again and it works.

Or it does nothing to acknowledge my touch and doesn’t execute the action, so I question my sanity.

The point is that it’s so inconsistent that I don’t have an evidence-based guess at the root cause. My gut says it’s the overuse of dispatch queues.
Original comment is not "noticing". It's complaining to people to stop talking about what matters to them.

It's one thing to say "look, they said X" than to say "please don't talk about X on the internet".
Billionaires like to declare no income, which is why they pay such low taxes. But they spend like kings, not like people who have no income. But you can't spend unrealised gains. So they either realise their gains and pay taxes, or get their spending money elsewhere. Since they spend a lot of money, and "elsewhere" wants its money back eventually, it sounds like "elsewhere" has to be a bank.

It seems like the most plausible explanation.
On macOS 14.6.1:

1. Cmd-Space
2. I type "Fee", "Feed", or "Feedback"
3. Feedback Assistant appears in the list of suggestions.
Considering how governments spend the money nowadays, especially the US and a few others on military stuff and promoting death, I think avoiding tax is a favor to society.
The threshold of what is too slow is in the eye of the beholder, but there have been good studies done on that topic and small delays do cause problems.

But the general idea of things being slowed down by animations is objective. It could be done in a frame or two, it takes X frames. And you can add up those delays when you're navigating and reach significant numbers.
I struggle to imagine how you would arrive at such a cruel & disturbing allegation, that corporations organizations & institutions must be morally blind.

Real life counter example, Leica Freedom Train,

Overt disobedience versus subversive disobedience can have a risk. Yeah, don't do things that will eliminate your entity from the world. But often you should be willing to take some kind of an L (loss). The best time to fight injustice is as early as possible; push back if you can.
For me, the point of my pointless blogging is to sell dozens of books across the world with my words in them. That way, I feel like I’ve achieved immortality. No joke.
We gave our son in middle school a smartwatch as a compromise, figured a full smartphone would be too distracting.
I would! But I have a job and side projects that take up my time.
Twitter is the epitome of people who "don't get it". For one, you don't use Twitter anymore because the damn website doesn't exist. Your new website, 'X' is filled with boiling frogs that (somehow) expect things to get better. People that don't get the proverbial memo when a neo-Nazi buys their website and replaces it's logo with a half-swastika. It would not be exaggeration to say that the quality and prestige of 'X' chatter is about as worthwhile as 4chan's resident opinion.

For two - they can't do shit. Every one of those businesses can try to pivot into being the next OpenAI, but even OpenAI can't be fucked to turn a profit. They can't retract their models (remember Llama 1.0? hahahahahahahahaha) and they can't piss and moan to the authorities when their weights leak because 99% of them contain unlicensed copyrighted material in the first place.

The real twist to this Gordian knot? Open source is the only model you can release conventional AI under, because anything else precludes a Fair Use defense. Everyone that has "proprietary" models only manages it by playing keep-away with the community.

> Only a five-year-old child is either surprised or angered by this turn of events.

Five year old children know that they can keep their toys once they stop selling them at Wal-mart. Pulling a model off HF doesn't stop new finetunes or even redistribution and re-quantization of the old model. Mistral and Runway can do whatever they want, all their models are belong to us.
A chance to describe the unexpected visceral gut punch that was the first ten minutes of For All Mankind (tv series). I wouldn't have thought the US being first to the moon was that important to me, but when I saw it the other way...man was I affected.

And this is why everything goes in writing.
As someone who has partaken in smokes and drinks, and owns firearms, I'd not trust either person equally around a firearm during the period of their impairment, personally. But I agree that smoking a j on Friday afternoon doesn't mean I'm going to mishandle my firearms on Saturday. Just like having a couple of beers on Friday doesn't mean I'm going to mishandle my firearms on Saturday.
You should use Linux because it has the best tooling. That's why you never see a Windows Docker container.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned https://www.perplexity.ai yet? I am blown away by its accurate answers. The main difference between ChatGPT and Perplexity is that in addition to better answers it also gives you links to the source. Tools like Perplexity will turn Google into Altavista in the next 2 to 3 years.
If the domain name matters, provide the number and do the thing that matters. If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Good luck.
It’s so unfortunate that no one inside Google is taking any decision to clearly make things worse. It’s simply the structure of their business that is fundamentally wrong, and their founders had correctly identified the problem right at the start.
Ouch! I had no idea.
I run dozens of linux VMs on my Mac without a sweat. I run docker if needed in such VMs.

Nowadays there’s no disadvantage in using Macs (silicon ones) I would say.
Adobe Brackets had an interesting solution to the context switching problem. There was a keybind, I think CTRL+E, that would let you edit all the styles that apply to the current element in a kind of inline sub-editor. It was quite neat and I haven't seen it done in any other editor.
No. What's possible are services to verify the authenticity of original-generated content through things like trusted content creators that wouldn't want to risk losing some kind of certification that their works or things they display aren't AI generated.

Probably a market for that.
Can you perhaps expand on the incentives and the mechanism of increased danger?

`forms.md` says what it is on the label.

The winapi dependency comes from the rust tooling (cargo specifically) putting a great value on portability, and practical concerns like people collaborating from different platforms on the same project. Many Rust projects check their Cargo.lock into git (recommended for binaries, and also many libraries do it). Now imagine if the Cargo.lock changes depending on the platform, which one would you track in git?

Now, there is the separate concern of cargo-vendor downloading the winapi crate, which it does, also on Linux. It doesn't have to because winapi is never built, yet it still does it. That one I agree is a bit wasteful, but it's a known issue.
You clearly haven’t received a letter in the mail for $250 because a camera saw you barely not fully stop for a red light right turn at 3am with zero traffic

A human in the loop needs to be the first line of defense, if an officer isn’t willing to be in the field to issue the ticket and show up in court to defend it then there shouldn’t be a ticket in the first place, full stop
Not so bad if my car can drop me off at work and, go to court, and then pick me up at the end of the day to go home.
Google is handing real time location data, browsing histories, etc to 3rd parties while not technically selling it. Ex: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/google-says-it-doesnt-...
Exactly. This is the same as it is with hiring musicians. If you're hiring a musician, you don't need to have them play an instrument for you so that you can hear and see them play.

Take them out to lunch, they can describe their playing style, talk about what they are able to do or not do on the instrument and you will get absolutely all the information you need.

If you pay close attention, by the time they order their meal you should be able to tell whether they are actually proficient or not. Sometimes you can even tell a musician won't be a cultural fit by paying attention to them on the way to the restaurant before you even get there.
Not quite sure why I expected something like eDEX-UI.
And unfortunately sometimes you have to just let the fire smolder before anyone cares enough to let you fix it.
Not really. The example is worse than CSS in many ways and the idea of tailwind wasn't to be worse than CSS.
It's been studied that fewer people start the big form than a multi-stage form of uncertain size but more people finish it.
you conveniently left out the fact that anyone driving a car or truck is driving a dangerous vehicle that can trivially kill or maim others. Driving is supposed to be a privilege, not a right. That comes with responsibility.

How you think this is the same as “being naughty while walking outside” is hilarious to me.
> Yes, Linux breaks, but only if you do not know what you are doing

Depends on the distro. I used to break Arch all the time. It's fun and teaches a lot, but at some point it gets on the way of productivity. It's a choice.

If you're on Windows and want to try Linux, start with Ubuntu. You can do your daily business for years without breaking anything.
Yep, but it would be too "expensive" to block ( a lot of big players rely on Cloudflare like discord, canva ... )
Didn’t discover the value of concision or brevity, apparently.
OpenAI launched SearchGPT via waitlist recently which does the same thing as Perplexity. I don’t use the latter so I don’t know how it compares but the OpenAI version been working fine for me. Kagi has also had similar functionality for a while too, which works with their Lens feature and has a fast mode if you add a question mark to the end of a regular search query.

It’s not much of a competitive moat compared to having the model itself.
I would most certainly not compare Autohotkey to Emacs in that way, as Emacs, powerful as it is, is not really meant to be the same as Autohotkey. However, Autohotkey can do pretty much anything you can think of in terms of GUI OS level local automation (for cli, I'd probably use WSL).

On Linux, I may sometimes have to glue xmodmap + xcape + xbindkeys + xdotool + wmctrl + whatever-else in a bash script that will probably require reading multiple man pages and multiple iterations to get right. Autohotkey would only require accessing a single source of solid documentation, as it can all be done in a single Autohotkey script that doesn't rely on any other tool.

More often than not GPT will give you the entire code that you need on the first or second response. But it only knows Autohotkey version 1.
Right, I think they announced it at WWDC ;) Before I even posted. Living the future.
A brief history of barbed wire fence telephone networks
Kind of embarrassing for Google to be on that list, no? Shouldn't their in-house TPUs be cost-advantageous for them?
All such text markup DSLs were invented at least once on usenet.
however i see your point. i believe this is really a failure of police in our modern society. police don’t take driving incidents seriously! it’s their job after all.

Gah, I was just noticing this again today, in Finder! No sane font has Roman numerals that are not monospaced.
Yachts depreciate rapidly, not sure where you got the idea that they appreciate.
Write-only code is so hot right now
The WSL section doesn't really make sense

>But what you must know is that WSL has a lot of problems when compared to a full Linux OS. Some packages will not be up to date and sometimes will not be as functional as a Linux distro.

AFAIK it's just a regular linux distro (in a VM), so I'm not sure why it would have different packages?
This was really really good.

There's a bunch of talk about the tech & what the RFD is.

But as an organization, as a tool for how an organization radiates I formation within, this gives a view of such a higher order way of staying organized.

This feels so far advanced of where so many orgs are, such a more sophisticated way of existing where information is available, is something your org (and the rest of the world!) can tune into.

Escaping the ephemerality of existence & moving yourself & your thinking to something concrete and addressable is the story of the human leap up and out. And it's what we ought be practicing. This is a wonderful discussion of one attempt at being a more advanced entity in the universe.
I'm not sure why people act so mystified about Q*, the name gives it away, it's an obvious reference to A*, the only question is what the nodes in the graph are and what they're using as a Heuristic function.
Wow that's bizarre.

At first I thought it was just an overflow error but no it's nothing like that. The math is indeed very clearly broken, as I play around with it on Sonoma on my M1.

I'm genuinely shocked. I though this kind of floating-point math was rock-solid, tested thoroughly over the decades.

Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert should work consistently.
I came across a reasonable amount of perl code that happily formatted the year 2000 as 19100. The functions that converted from seconds-since-1970 to a "human readable" parts returned a year relative to 1900. Most people would format using sprintf("%d/%d/%d",$d,$m+1,$y+1900) but some code I inherited instead used sprintf("%d/%d/19%d",$d,$m+1,$y). I never did figure out if it was due to stupidity or malice.
Yeah, I was thinking that despite the fact that the ultra wealthy use TFA's loophole, people who don't (i.e. net worth < $300M as the author explains) have a situation where:

A - In a universe with cost basis step-up on death, they die with gains taxed at 0% and then pay 40% estate tax on everything.

B - In a world without cost basis step-up on death, they die with gains taxed at the 20% long term rate and then pay 40% estate tax on what remains.

Thus:

The step-up causes less tax revenue by percentage from the >$300M crowd who use the BBD strategy, but it causes more tax revenue by percentage from the $13M<crowd<$300M who do not use the BBD strategy. The latter pay more tax with option A! 20% on a chunk and 40% on the remaining chunk is less government revenue than just 40% unchunked, especially if the capital gains being realized on death are a majority of the net worth.

I wonder which crowd has more worth-at-death in aggregate (in the absence of BBD and the like -- if estate tax were to be paid by all, no loopholes), given that the less wealthy crowd is a much larger population.
Enforcement of red light running has been de facto nil for the past 4 years until a couple of months ago. The cynic in me guesses that this is due to the election cycle.
Would it be possible (in theory) to build a receiver on an embedded platform, for instance an audio-only ESP32 speaker, or is there something in the protocol that requires a more powerful device?
what was the documentary?
Yep, these intrinsics are what I was referring to, and yes the software versions won’t use the hardware trig unit, they’ll be written using an approximating spline and/or Newton’s method, I would assume, probably mostly using adds and multiplies. Note the loss of precision with these fast-math intrinsics isn’t very much, it’s usually like 1 or 2 bits at most.
My superficial understanding of research on deterring criminal behavior (so, I may be bullshitting) is that it's more effective to make the likelihood of getting caught high than making the punishment severe.

So this might be an effective (and cheap, compared to fiery auto crashes and arrests) way to discourage that behavior.

And if someone does not respond to the initial incentive, their insurance rates would continue to climb, so at some point in time they either end up uninsured (in which case, this sousveillance really ought to just inform the cops, but anyway, the opinion in this thread is that cops are useless, so YMMV) or fix their behavior.
I have to say that when I saw retro I expected ncurses support. Not all retro terminals understand VT100 escape sequences ;-)

What about those who use VT-52 terminals?
