Whenever I see these news & FBI releases about Chinese state-sponsored hackers breaching systems in America, I wonder whether the same thing happens over there: American malware and hacker groups attacking & laying landmines in China's internet infrastructure, although the Chinese may not publicize these exploits because their system opts to maintain an air of invincibility.
They wouldn't be asked. The EU can legislate in the name of a common market and any law or regulation that doesn't conform can be challenged.
It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s a barely coded message to the next administration to pull on the FBI’s leash and/or push for legalization in the US.

“Political retribution by the outgoing administration” = “I’m the enemy of your enemy”. “Correctly called the 2024 presidential election” = “I’m flattering you on your glorious victory over our shared foe, now hook a brother up.”

Have you considered that the police or prosecutors in this case may be incorrect or corrupt?

Innocent until proven guilty is a cornerstone of our civilization. We should not shame anyone who has been searched or arrested by the police.
Of course not. The government reports that lots of articles are based on are free. LibGen (which anyone this service would target likely knows of) holds most of the other reports of objective facts. If people were interested in reading the reports, they wouldn't need the paper, and if they need help interpreting the source, that's just a way for readers to scream about bias.

Anything real-time can't be reported on either, because choosing what to report on is a form of bias - even reporting on the latest mass shooting is "Giving coverage to someone that shouldn't be glorified", or "Only showing negatives for the second amendment". There is no way to please people without admitting bias, and then detractors will use tgat to tear down your "unbiased, facts-only" source.

i have learned smalltalk, common lisp, java, python, ruby, perl, php, C, javacript and a few other languages, and i still do not understand the difference between message passing and function invocation. they look the same to me. according to wikipedia the difference is

"In contrast to the traditional technique of calling a program by name, message passing uses an object model to distinguish the general function from the specific implementations. The invoking program sends a message and relies on the object to select and execute the appropriate code."

Method invocation won out mostly because of Java and C++

but according to the wikipedia article java uses message passing.

supposedly the distinction is that i can have a generic method that gets called if a named method can not be found. in smalltalk that's doesNotUnderstand: in ruby it's method_missing. javascript used to have __noSuchMethod__, in php i can overload __call, in pike i do the same with defining a method called `(), and many more.

so are they all using message passing? and then if java is supposed to use message passing and javascript removed __noSuchMethod__ it seems that alone can't be the distinction.

if there is a distinction at all then it look more like an implementation detail that does not actually affect what kind of code you can write, and more importantly, based on that it is not at all clear that method invocation won out.

Another answer:

> 1. Entries in one month's CSV file may be repeated in the previous or following ... Is your system robust against it?

People use various strategies for this.
You can treat the data as partitioned (eg in months), or as a continuous stream.
In general you can't rely on unique ids, including ones generated from the data (because identical transaction records are common).

hledger has a simple built in method, which works pretty well for most people: it remembers the latest transaction date processed (for each input source).
https://hledger.org/hledger.html#date-skipping

> 2. Credit card: the total amount for a month is one single entry in the bank's CSV file, while a separate CSV file contains all the details. Do you rely on accounts to handle this indirect flow, e.g. one transaction of 1000$ from checking to cc, based on the single entry of the bank's CSV, then several transactions from cc to the various expense categories, based on the details CSV, and checking that the cc account has a zero balance?

Yes, purchases made with a credit card and paying off the credit card balance are all separate transactions, so the most standard way is record them as such - either manually, or by downloading/converting/importing the data from both accounts. And for extra assurance, assert that the credit card's balance is zero after payoff.

When downloading from both accounts, you get the payoff transaction in both downloads; one of them can be ignored by rule or manually, or both can be recorded with a dummy transfer account keeping things balanced.

If you don't care enough about the detailed credit card purchases, you'd just record the checking data.

> 3. Some utility companies bill every 2 or 3 months. This makes monthly stats meaningless...

One workaround is to split the expense posting into several expense postings, each with its own date (still keeping them within the one journal entry).
A more strictly correct one is to add transactions and accounts like in evrimoztamur's answer.
Most often I'll just use hledger's -MA flags (--monthly --average).

Ableton has a good free introduction using web audio stuff so no download needed.

https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

For a more advanced set of lessons there is Syntorial, which has a demo including the first 20 or so lessons and the full set of 200 lessons for $120. Syntorial requires a download, but it's a full synthesizer with lessons built into it, so you can use it in your own music.

Aside from that I'd say youtube is the best source. While you're still a beginner I'd recommend avoiding any videos where they don't show the finished result because it's much harder to tell if the video is BS or not.

For free synthesizers, I'd recommend "TAL U-NO-60" as a good beginner one, it's modeled after the Roland Juno 60. And "Vital" for a more complex / less beginner friendly one. Both of those have paid versions with additional features but those additional features are not necessary at all. You'll also need a DAW software capable of loading VST plugins to use them.

It's not super clear to me what you're trying to do. Is the POS scanner a simple barcode reader? If so, many of them can operate as a plain keyboard instead, so it would just enter whatever it scans into whatever text field has focus.

If the POS reader is something more advanced, like an integrated POS tablet system (Square, etc.), are there any APIs you can use?

Where does the "cloud setup" come in to play here... like are you on a local computer, with a POS attached, but mostly working in a remote desktop through an app? Or is the POS system itself attached to some other computer in the cloud (like in a colo datacenter or something)? Sorry for the confusion. What data are you trying to send, and to what?

I like the idea of ARC-AGI and think it was worth a shot. But if someone has already hit the human-level threshold, I think the entire idea can be thrown out.

If the ARC-AGI challenge did not actually follow their expected graph[1], I see no reason to believe that any benchmark can be designed in a way where it cannot be gamed. Rather, it seems that the existing SOTA models just weren't well-optimized for that one task.

The only way to measure "AGI" is in however you define the "G". If your model can only do one thing, it is not AGI and doesn't really indicate you are closer, even if you very carefully designed your challenge.

Of course there's competitive pressure to reduce or get rid of these fees. Plenty of people avoid buildings with brokers fee. Its even a filter in most real estate sites. I personally only looked at no fee brokers in the apartments or amortized the broker into the monthly payments. And for me, only no-fee apartments got my rent.

People aren't dumb and look at an apartment and get quoted $4k a month and when they go sign they realize its an extra $6k broker fee and just open up their wallets like "whoops". It's definitely factored into the price and affects who gets in to the door

No, because the broker fees never went to landlords in the first place. They don't need to make up for lost revenue or something like that, with the kinds of schemes you're proposing.

What happens now is that instead of a tenant paying $5K to the broker when they rent the place, the landlord pays $500 to a service which lists the apartment in a few places (like StreetEasy) and handles showing the apartment (which can often be offloaded to the super or similar). It's not even a "broker" at this point, it's just a service. Like how with existing no-fee buildings, it's just one more thing the management office does.

> I do expect brokerage fees to decline somewhat... but this is not going to be a huge change

Decline? Broker's fees, along with brokerages, are practically going to disappear (for the rental market). I don't know a single person who's actually gotten value out of using a broker, because everyone just finds the apartment they want on StreetEasy or whatever first.

This is going to be a gigantic change. And I have no idea why you think it would hurt low-income tenants? You're removing a huge fee they had to pay.
