> ANY usage of unrealized gains makes them realized

I don't feel like you're thinking this through.

Can you define (precisely enough to write into the tax code) what is "usage"?

For example, let's say I go to get a second loan for a vacation home. The Uniform Residential Loan Application asks me to list all significant assets. Such as my first house.

Am I "using" the value of my primary home? The second loan is not a lien against the first home, I'm not borrowing anything against it. They are unrelated. But the lender will probably consider my equity there as additional net worth which can be a factor in approving that second loan.

> Why hosting costs apparently weren't such a big deal 15-20 years ago?

It's not that hosting costs are so much higher now. In the 2020s I ran a forum for ~10$ a year but then I realized exposing my home IP was a bad idea. Then I ran the forum for $50 a year and... no one but me used it.

Recently one of my friends paid $500 to set up a forum using a dedicated provider /w a support plan. Fingers crossed it sees more activity than mine did.

So you can still host a forum pretty cheap but it requires trading in your personal time or paying $500 and given most Americans don't have $500 liquid you would need donations/organization (which requires more of your personal time).

It's not impossible but it's not super easy either.
For many, the terms 'luxury' and 'premium' are interchangeable, signifying both high quality and exclusivity. Most Apple users, may not be able to list specific specs of their devices — a testament to the brand's focus on overall user experience rather than technical details. Ask any Apple user if their device is superior to that of the competition, and the majority will affirm it does, because it just feels premium.
50 Years of Broccoli (and Mockery): A Co-Op Co-Founder Calls It Quits
> Since this is all science fiction

Everything is, before it gets invented. 200 years ago, radio, cars, skyscrapers, anaesthesia, transplants, space travel, plastics, and bioprinting were all scifi. Aluminium was almost exactly 200 years ago.

Voice-to-voice translation and cheap synthetic gem quality diamonds were too, even when I was a kid.

I'm not saying any of this will be easy — from what I've heard, it's sufficiently hard that one would need to do a PhD in the subject just to really understand how hard and I've not done that — but you are made of atoms, and the atoms in your body can be rearranged into a younger form.

That the only mechanism to do so today is called "cannibalism" is an (enormous and repugnant!)
implementation detail, even though it's also an existence-proof of the possibility of such a re-arrangement.

Do you know what's not science fiction? People are already experimenting with genetically modifying themselves, because of things as simple as "they don't enjoy lactose intolerance".

> I don’t see what solving aging does to solve any of these problems.

Then you don't understand the actual problems.

Most of the costs we have today from an aging population are that old people are physically weak, get sick a lot, have many expensive complications, and 30 years ago they collectively didn't have enough kids for the next generation to be able to afford to look after them so well.

When you write:

> we can’t deal with the amount of humans we already have at the ages they live to

That's because (1) it's their kids (us) doing the "dealing with", and they didn't have so many; and (2) our natural aging process is awful.

Anti-aging's biggest promise is that it makes age-related degeneration much easier to manage.

(And all that's assuming "you’ll start to see jobs requiring 100+ years experience" isn't obviated by AI).
I have a similar half-of-a-problem

My street name is officially an abbreviation, but half of the map services have it with the full name, which makes sense in some way and makes it easier to search, but it's not the legal name of the street.

So if a website auto-fills from map service, I usually need to try both versions until one works.

Apple used to have the full version until I sent them a report; now they fixed it in Maps, but I still have it wrong in my "home address" and I have no idea how to fix it there.

It's not really that big of a deal though. But yeah as OP says, AI will make sorting out this stuff harder, not easier

Google isn't the authority for addresses. For the US, Google probably buys the bulk USPS Postal Service Address Information System to get their data. The Post Office has people on the ground, unlike Google, which is a data aggregator.

First, look up your address in the USPS ZIP Code retrieval system.[1] If it's in there, the USPS knows where you are. If your address isn't listed, "contact the local Post Office and request their assistance in resolving the problem." They can submit updates to the database. Once that entry is right, if anyone questions your address, point them at USPS ZIP Code Lookup.

I've had to do some of this. I live at the end of a private street where the neighbors put up a street sign, in a ZIP code that crosses a city line, next to a road easement for an un-built road.
USPS, Pacific Gas and Electric, and the County of San Mateo all got this right. The official data is correct.

Open Street Map, Google, and the low-end GPS systems used by delivery drivers had problems.
I had to log into Open Street Map, which had my street and the next street confused. Fixed that.
Gradually, this propagated to Doordash, UPS, FedEx, etc. It took about a year before Tom-Tom updated,
and I used to get calls from lost Doordash drivers. Putting up large high-quality house numbers on the house and gatepost also helped.

Never had any problems with banks, voting, taxes, or anything official. Only low-end service providers.

They did this to me once after finding an allergy test was inconclusive. After about 9 months of being ill and having nutritional issues I was back to where I was again with the same problem

This turned out to be lactose so I just avoid it and all is good now. Could have been a new finding but I suspect the problem was just poorly identified to start with.

I loved the idea of pair programming in the first place. The only thing I didn't like is not being able to surf HN with someone over my shoulder.

A lot of the earliest AI tools were sold as exactly that - pair programmers who aren't hovering over your shoulder. Copilot was the first to get it at a passable level. Cursor did it properly.

It's a similar effect - it checks your typos, your semicolons, fetches enums for you. You ask it questions, but can't completely rely on it. You bounce ideas off it, it bounces ideas off you.
They're on a free standing trellis that doesn't touch the house.

Two actually, a vertical mesh straight up from the garden bed adjacent to the brick paved verandah, and another that's almost horizontal with a slight slope away from the house.

I had private health insurance in Germany. It was quite expensive and had a very high deductible — so pretty bad incentives around routine health care, I never made a claim in 13 years.

The upside was that if you needed, say, a brain transplant for ten million Euros, as long as it was medically necessary they would pay for it.

Now I have a policy elsewhere that is cheaper, still covers me when I go to Europe, and has a much better copay structure while being 100% private. Downside is I can’t afford that brain transplant, but I’ll probably be OK for everything else.

Anecdotal, but this (likely) happened to me. For a year, my body could not digest gluten. My doctors tested me for celiac antibodies and all tests came back negative.

A gastroenterologist asked if I had taken anti-biotics at any point. I had: 12 months prior I had gone swimming near a landfill, gotten sick, and my primary care doctor had prescribed antibiotics (suspecting giardia). This final GI doctor asked if I had taken probiotics after my regimen of antibiotics. I had not. He ordered a colonoscopy (I think the prep process for that itself – a hard reset – may have done something therapeutic) and I was prescribed probiotics (viz: over-the-counter refrigerated Natren Megadophilus pills, refrigerated MegaFood MegaFlora pills, and refrigerated Bio-K Plus drinks). After the scope prep, scope, and two weeks of probiotics, I could eat gluten again.

I've shared this story with others but wish I had more evidence so that it might have been written up in a way that helped others like Anders. It was frustrating that none of the many providers I saw during that year tied the giardia incident (in my chart) to gluten intolerance (some instead made mild allusions to psychosomatic IBS) until the final gastroenterologist (my hero! I am forever grateful) but I can't complain. Ever since that difficult year, I have tremendous empathy for those with allergies and intolerances, especially for those with celiac.

The actual games played with marbles is pretty varied. The local one that we had would have you put a marble a bit in front of your ankles, with your heels making a 90 degree angle. Then the other player would shoot at it from some distance away.

That variant was also a gambling type where you could win or lose. The shooting marble was often a metal ball, but the ones you wagered were the nice ones that everyone was after.
For many reasons, including tax and liability, any serious property owner will have a company structure to own the building, collect rent, pay bills etc. Doing it in your personal capacity is pretty insane.

> If you write a covered call, did you "use" the asset? Yes

This wouldn't make any sense, you didn't use it (unless the call gets exercised).

So you have 200 shares and write 1 call, you'd pay tax on the appreciation of just 100 shares? Then sell another call next week, pay taxes again?

Nice link. Thank you to share. This notice bothers me a bit:

> IBKR will assess a surcharge of 1% on large loan balances unless otherwise prearranged with IBKR. The 1% surcharge would apply to all balances in the highest tier.

I wonder what exactly "prearranged with IBKR" means. Call them up... "I need to borrow 50M USD, and pledge my Meta stock." Them: "Hang on. <muzak> Yeah, sure."

My guess, if the loan is large enough, the want to coordinate with their internal stock-borrow lending (SBL) desk to ensure proper liquidity.

<<(Not A) Shill Warning>> I am continuously blown away by the institutional-like level of services (and prices) available to plebs like me. IB is really built to grow with you: From the first 10K USD saved as a 25 year old, to a 50 year old with millions in liquid assets. I still cannot believe they don't have any minimum balance for individual account. Ref: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/required-mini... To be clear for other readers, that cost cannot be zero on their end. I don't know how it works, other than crazy levels of automation.

No. Drupal is only suitable if an organization requires open source. To develop a fully customized site still saves more time than using Drupal. And your maintenance path will be much simpler.

Yep. Non rolling code garage doors seem to be ubiquitous in rental properties here (Sydney Australia).

Rolling codes are better. But if you haven't seen it, Samy Kamkar has a device called Roll Jam, take a look at the last ~5 mins of this Defcon23 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNgvShN4USU

(The TL;DR of the trick there is: Jam the radio signal a key fob sends so a car/garage fairly wide band receiver can't hear it. At the same time listen with a better tuned receiver. Wait for someone to press their key fob and record the code, then wait for them to press it again and record the second code - then stop jamming and replay the 1st code you captured. Door opens and person goes through. But you now have a valid second rolling code that will work. You can do this with a Teensy3 and two CC1101 modules, about $40 worth of hardware.)

I'm affiliated with Portkey, so can answer who would need such a proxy/gateway:

Sidenote: Arch is def interesting!

A typical user we've seen at Portkey is a mid or a large size eng org where a central "Gen AI team" has now come up. This Gen AI team builds services that the rest of the company uses to build whatever AI features or products they want.

To build such a service, they need traditional API Gateway features like rate limiting, access rules, and also AI-specific features like universal API to multiple LLM providers, universal routing, central guardrails, AI-native observability + central dashboard for other stakeholders, and more.

It can absolutely be a plugin on top of existing Gateways.. like we've explored putting Portkey on Kong, but the need for a dedicated AI Gateway still remains, that can do all of these things I described in an easier way.

Probably, solutions like Langchain/Llamaindex etc. also fit in somewhere here, but a dedicated service for "ops" related issues for LLM APIs is something that we're seeing orgs adopt as a good practice.
Too bad Apple hasn't released Apple AI at all; why bother with press releases featuring it? (EU)

More to the point, to transmit a 1500 byte packet at some network data rate takes time. At 10 Gbps this is 3 microseconds for the round-trip even for a hypothetical "zero length" cable.

Then add in the switching, routing, firewall, and load balancer overheads. Don't forget the buffering, kernel-to-user-mode transitions, "work" such as packet inspection, etc...

The net result is at least 50 microseconds in the best networks I've ever seen, such as what AWS has between modern VM SKUs in the same VPC in the same zone. Typical numbers are more like 150-300 microseconds within a data centre.[1]

If anything ping-pongs between data centres, then add +1 milliseconds per hop.

Don't forget the occasional 3-way TCP handshake plus the TLS handshake plus the HTTP overheads!

I've seen PaaS services talking to each other with ~15 millisecond (not micro!) latencies.

Oh wow, I have the first half of this situation. I went through a period where my digestion was so bad that it was affecting my ability to function from day to day. I didn't get anything useful from my gastro; I even had a negative celiac antibody test. Eventually I started rigorously tracking everything I ate against my symptoms, and after a few months I was able to draw a strong correlation with gluten intake. From memory it was in the 0.7 range. The day I cut out gluten, a set of awful digestive symptoms completely left my life. They return any time I am glutened.

I was fortunate that over time I managed to return myself to full capacity, through reading a ton of research and running dozens of experiments like the above. But it was so damn hard. The symptoms reduced my ability to use my brain to fix myself. And if you're not a careful eater, it's not at all intuitive which foods contain gluten. This was also almost a decade ago while living in a developing country, so it wasn't even apparent that gluten might be a suspect.

I'm currently based in the US - does anyone know how one might get properly tested for chronic giardiasis, as a person who isn't themselves in microbiology? I almost certainly encountered poorly treated water in that period of my life.

Also - I can't help but suspect that a nontrivial percentage of the developing world is living below their full capacity due to something like this. Neglected tropical diseases are a horrendous category.
