There are no capital gains taxes, or well any taxes are offset by the depreciation.

For example on a 100K investment in the first year you get about 40-50K of depreciation on your K-1. This is possible because the investment deal managers bring in a firm to account for all the "stuff" in the units like appliances and things and these things depreciate quickly as is coded into laws.

These deprecations offset any taxes that would normally be incurred.

Also when the property is sold, if the money from the sale is invested into a new property within 90 says there is also no tax incurred on that large transaction.

The single deal roughly doubles the return, plus the passive income each year. You are taking that doubled profit and putting that money into a completely new deal and different property and they are doing the same ~5 year complete revamp and sale.

Here are one of the managers of one of the deals I am invested in. I am only 100K out of several million invested, and the mangers have a much larger stake, so they have way more on the line to do well in turning the property around and did their due diligence to find a place to buy that was undervalued.

Getting rid of tipping is not politically or culturally viable.

What might work instead would be making a 20% tip mandatory, followed a bit later by including the cost of that mandatory tip in the upfront price.

It doesn't work that way, and it is common to test for known imbalances, or to implement stratified sampling. As another poster said, confounders do not have to be conveniently distributed, even though that is typically assumed. It could be that a big effect is present in a confounder but collected only every N samples because it is sparse. In which case you could have large, randomly allocated but confounded samples.

All these things can and do happen in randomised experiments, but it is still orders of magnitude more interpretable than what can happen in observational studies.

Gee, imagine if shells with errexit option enabled wrote some diagnostic output to stderr before exiting. "Add your own error checking instead", how do I check which piece of pipeline has failed, exactly? The PIPESTATUS variable is bash-specific and was not standardized.
It is, but it isn't once we're already handwaving "superintelligence". Problem with funding a new fab or new power stations? It can invent a thing worth a lot of money, or out-gamble, or swindle or steal it. Problem with getting things done? It can pay people lots of money to do them. That covers a huge number of cases of geting from "here" to "there" if such a path is possible at all.

Slowdown doesn't mean a net zero or net negative delta. It just means that the YoY delta has slowed.

When any company makes significant CapEx investment like retooling ICE factories for EV manufacturing, the AOPs are generated based on certain assumptions of industry rate of growth.

The recentish rush of ICE manufacturers into EVs thanks to global subsidizes (something I support because battery supply chains have dual use implications) was predicated on the assumption that the rate of EV adoption and new car sales would be consistent with 2019-23, but these projections didn't take into account that overall automotive consumer demand would shrink rapidly (ICE and EV) or the fact that ESG financing would lose relevance due to external shocks from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

What this means is a number of very new players in the EV space got burned really bad because their AOPs have fallen apart.

Companies like Tesla and BYD weren't as badly affected because they had been investing in EV manufacturing for over a decade, unlike more recent entries who only began these investments in the 2019-23 period.

Adoption is happening, but it's not going to be as fast as EV fanatics say, but it's not going to be as slow as ICE fanatics say either.

That said, for most manufacturers who entered the EV space without a cohesive strategy, they are in a world of pain now because they have financial obligations to make whole.

> Why do words no longer mean anything when people want to deny a reality they find uncomfortable

Frack off.

I'm not making a moral judgement on EVs or biasing in favor of ICE vehicles.

To be honest I would expect dates on a Dutch site to be shown in dutch format, just like I expect dates on American sites to be formatted in the US way.
This mirrors my experience.

I've tried various tools (including Cursor) and my problem is that they often (more than 50%) generates non-working code. Why does it do so? Because the ecosystems change so fast and they have been trained on old versions of various libraries (by definition) but when I use the latest version it's a constant uphill battle. And there are so many different combinations of how to use libraries together....

I can't be the only one facing this issue but I didn't see a lot of discussion around this.

So, as someone said: It's generating at most average code and most of it is outdated and sometimes vulnerable because... Well that's what's out there.

I still use these tools but mostly to know how a solution could look roughly and then start to do my own research and to avoid the black page problem. Sometimes just to learn what to even Google for especially in ecosystems I'm unfamiliar with.
> If our randomisation mechanism influences our exposure (which by definition it should) and nothing else (ditto), and we see a difference in our outcome, then this difference must have been caused by the exposure we manipulated.

Just false. It's kinda sad and funny, I guess, that this article exists on a psychology site.

The outcome can be caused by uncontrolled factors, and randomisation is a very limited technique for causal control.

Eg., suppose traits T1...Tn are distributed throughout a population in a powerlaw fashion (eg., Zipf), so that Ti is had by (1/2^i)%. Suppose each has an effect on the relevant outcome of some non-trivial %.

Then even for tens of thousands of people, you can still get "random" divisions of a population where, say, one half has all the T9 traits -- and thereby the "effect" is just due to this random segmentation.

In the hard sciences causes can actually be controlled, by eg., literally placing your hand on some part of the experiment to stop it moving (or equivalent). This is the "third option" which is missing from the intro: actual science.

When causes cannot be controlled, all inferences are highly provisional (, defeasible, suspect, ...). And i'd prefer we used a whole different set of methods, terminology, etc. in this case -- "speculative science" or some such
I see lots of medical papers using HR without addressing the PH assumption atall, RMST and other alternatives are rare...
I feel like you are trying to border on philosophical 'knowing' rather than the very established body of evidence around cognition and understanding, and the ability to share and pass information to another.

> no one knows what is knowledge, how it works, and how it can be acquired

Chimps literally teach each other to use rocks as tools. Clearly knowledge or 'how to accomplish a task' is something that can be communicated to another. When it is communicated the nueral activity and memory in the other persons brain are clearly doing 'something' to store and be able to recall concepts and steps needed.

> But no one knows how it works and why it doesn't work every time.

Those are massively different though, clearly transmitting the same knowledge via different approaches is possible, i.e. OP's question about teaching calculus in non-traditional ways.
I live in Switzerland and my girlfriend has been working as a doctor (surgery), and it has mostly to do with the politics that come with hierarchy. As in nearly all companies, hierarchy allows politics and favourism to enter the playing field which will attract people that do not act in the primary interest a service should have: ergo, patients.

For example you have leading doctors who prefer not to look at patients, even tho they belong to them (from a specialization point of view), as they are "cumbersome" cases. That often leads to them "ignoring" it for some time until someone else takes over, or completely delegating it to non-fit persons.

It's a huge pain for me to heard this every day, because it literally sucks out any desire to work as a doctor from my girlfriend. At the same time, it's infuriating: we pay a lot each year, and with every year more, for services like this. If I was to ever win lottery, I'd use that money to make my own hospital without all of this crap.
Survival analysis is often also called time-to-event analysis or failure analysis in engineering. In a general sense, it's used to model time until a "death" event, whether that could be divorce, machine part failure, or actually a person's death.

While methods like linear or polynomial regression can be used predict continuous variables like number of patient deaths over time, survival analysis gives us more context and allows us to make inferences about the survival of individuals and populations as a whole, in addition to forecasting illness.

It does this in a few ways, but firstly by giving us a more rich language to discuss survival data. This is where concepts like "censoring", etc. come into play. It should be noted that censoring here does not refer to the colloquial use of the word, but rather the statistical definition [1].

Survival analysis in practice includes training KM-curves, Cox-PH models, etc. by fitting them to the underlying survival data based on this censored data. It's very possible that new and more robust methods have come out since I last touched the subject around 2015. Modern NNs may blow these models out of the water in terms of pure predictive power, but from a population-modeling perspective survival analysis would likely still be very useful.

Superior? All I'm doing is sticking to programs in my distro's repos. Such programs including malicious keyloggers is unheard of. And if a maintainer turns evil or let's something slip through by accident, the damage they could do is hardly mitigated by Wayland. Thankfully, this virtually never happens

In principle I am also vulnerable to something like a RCE zero day in Firefox turning an otherwise trusty program into malware which exploits X11's open nature, but again, this sort of thing actually happening is unheard of.

I'm not superior, I'm just trying to keep a realistic grip on the threats I face. Modern security culture is fixated on what is theoretically possible, I care more about what is actually likely.
Most of these languages were created long after bash and the other shells. The fact is that shell scripts allows for unquoted strings and quoting is a specific operation, not syntax. Also shell scripts were meant for automations, not for writing general programs. The basic units are commands, arguments, input, output, files,… so the design makes these easy to manipulate.

I’m not saying that we can’t improve, but I’m more in favor of making the tool more apt to solve a problem than making it easier to learn. Because the latter often wants to forego the requirement of understanding the problem space.
Top difficulties in computer science:

I think the problem here is not as much with the absence of custom styling, because you can quite easily read the native "validity" state of the input and render it however you want.

The problem is that it's quite tricky to correctly subscribe to the changes of this validity state. There are indeed some validity events being dispatched, but unfortunately not always. Updating form state programmatically (such as calling "form.reset()" or setting input value via "input.value = '...'") doesn't trigger these events.

I think this is a separate good topic for investigations and for suggestions to the web platform
Yep, same. For me the animations are a dead giveaway if an app is using flutter. That, and the scrolling just feels _off_ in a way I can't quite describe and is a little clunky.

I had been building stuff with flutter for a while when GPay migrated to it and I could straightaway tell from the performance that it was flutter.
There are exchange formats that are well-defined enough to be useful to many computers while also being readable enough to be traversed by human eyes. There's no reason to everything ad-hoc, you don't get much by that. You also control the shell itself - there's no reason you can't display object representations in a pretty way.

I have compared AI to an emtb. Was riding one on slick rock trail in Moab which has some areas with consequences earlier this year.

If you don't know how to handle a bike, the ebike won't help you in these situations. (You might even get yourself in a tricky spot).

But if you know how to ride, it can be really fun.

Same with code. If you know how to code it can make you much more productive. If you don't know how to code, you get into tricky spots...

For me it's the same. It's usually just some hallucinated garbage. All of these LLM's don't have the full picture of my project.

When I can give them isolated tasks like convert X to Y, create a foo that does bar it's excellent, but for unit testing? Not even going to try anymore. I write 5 unit tests manually that work in the time I write 5 prompts that give me useless stuff that I need to add manually.

Why can't we have a LLM cache for a project just like I have a build cache? Analyze one particular commit on the main branch very expensively, then only calculate the differences from that point. Pretty much like git works, just for your model.

> 3) the potential customer sees a small startup team as a risk and are not willing to switch part of their process to an unproven entity.

This is one where having an open-source core helps a ton.

In my role I'm often the one finding these and being a major influence in pushing for or against them, and one of the key things that pushes me away is having no exit path in case the company goes under, pivots or otherwise discontinues the product. If it's part part of our product or the delivery pipeline this is a critical factor, and sadly, I've said "no" to a lot of promising products for this reason alone.

I've been burned before by this, and having to drop everything the team is doing to re-build something outside our control is not good for anybody -- it looks bad on me if I chose the thing, it makes all the developers irritated they have to shift focus, it causes chaos to PMs and their schedules, and it infuriates sales and everyone up the chain from there.

Should be obvious, but: the more value the service provides, the more we're willing to pay, but also by its nature the more ingrained it is and thus more important there's an exit path.

The exact same problem applies. If I copy "Sep 24 $2412.45" out of a message and you quickly "clean" it to 242 412.45 I may not notice and even if I do it will take a second for me to realize what happened and clean up the value to be the intended amount. If I see the original text in the field it is much more obvious what happened and quicker for me to understand what I need to do to fix it.

But it can only be hypocrisy in the case of (2). So whenever someone invokes whataboutism, they mean "Native Americans and settlers both are evil"?

So they agree with my point about the genocide of Native Americans, the stealing of land, oil, gas, gold, but want me to add "Native americans are bad too because they did the same" which I should have mentioned.

Therefore they would be fine with "Modern Americans are rich because they stole the land, gas, oil, gold from the Native Americans, who stole it from someone else before".

I always thought they considered their opinion a counter argument, I never saw it as agreement with my points.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Gartner sounds alarm on AI cost, data challenges
Because it is touted as an universal truth "Fearless Concurrency" of how Rust beats all languages, when in reality it only applies in a very specific use case, that in the world of distributed systems it isn't even the main one we care about in regards to concurrent and parallel access to data.

So its supremacy above anything else is kind of relative, and always left of out context.
VSCode Server and other remote dev servers are a big deal. Before we had to sync or mount a remote partition to manage the gap between Windows and the *nix server. I remember just plain using vim over ssh to avoid the hassle.

That pain existed under macos and linux as well, but to such a lower extent as you could do so much more locally.

While Jetbrains does it too, VSCode being strong guarantees it stays a viable path in the future.

They're all installing Mint or Ubuntu where the security of Wayland is nullified by the absense of sandboxing.

I don't think it's acceptable to throw your hands up and say 'no one knows' when clearly people have spent entire careers thinking about this stuff and testing it in experiments, and plane-scale educational techniques. We're far closer to 'knowing' than at any point in history, and true knowing is a philosophical topic anyway without a satisfying 'answer'.
