Currency arbitrage would be taxed as normal income. The more specific example being buying pesos, then reselling pesos for US dollars at a gain. There are exclusions for currency conversion below a threshold for personl expenses such as travel, per Section 988 in the US: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/section-988.asp

Since the only 'allowed' currency is US dollars here, any exchange to a non-US-dollar 'currency' (pesos, bitcoin, whatever) then using that to buy/sell things would implicitly trigger either a capital gains or a regular income event upon conversion to another form of value. It's no different than buying and selling art, or any goods. If I constructed all of business around bartering using rice... technically I would owe taxes on all those transactions.

So you need to do multiple layers and build up the part gradually. Assuming you start with a broken plastic piece, use a good fixture to hold the part, and consider using a superglue activator spray on the plastic first. Then add as much superglue you can without dripping, and quickly sprinkle enough baking soda to saturate the super glue. Let it dry for a couple of minutes, dust off excess baking soda. Then alternate super glue layer, baking soda layer until you get slightly bigger than final shape. Let it cure fully and then sand it down.

This aligns with my knowledge. I don't know much about LLM, but TPU has been used for training deep prediction models in ads at least from 2018, though there were some gap filled by CPU/GPU for a while. Nowaday, TPU capacity is probably more than the combination of CPU/GPU.
The meme of LLM generated content is that it's verbose and formal, not that it's poorly written.

> agriculture isn't necessarily fungible. Land that is used for one product isn't immediately capable of being used for another

Key word being "immediately". That's right, but substitutions do exist. Hence, growing pains.

> A large part of corn production is used for feedstock. That means there would be systemic issues in the production of meat if it had major disruptions. That's another reason why you can't just swap corn for meat production.

Globally, soybeans are more often used, and these can (and do) grow in the US. Notwithstanding, you can just keep growing corn without subsidy - meat prices would go up. That could be politically contentious, but less total meat consumption could lead to better health outcomes.

> subsidies sometimes trade efficiency for stability

Leaving aside the question of balance, pros and cons:

Farmer stability is not inherently contingent on corn subsidy. Even if we wanted to keep subsidies as a constant, you can subsidize something else.

> part of the national security element is fuel (ethanol)

This doesn't require subsidy. The US produces more than half of the world's ethanol fuel. Notwithstanding that, fossil fuel extraction has also grown through fracking. I don't see the security angle at all.
> The topic of the OP is abusing ones outsized financial power to thwart the democratic process.

As the topic progressed, it was brought up that a functioning democracy has "way less" income inequality. Which is where I asked if there is really that much income inequality as-is? In most places, the US included, there is a strong disincentive to have an income, and especially a high income. It is surprising to me that income inequality might be that far out of whack because of that.

There are one-time income windfalls, like the sale of a high value asset, or winning the lottery. Hence how 20% of the population can, somewhat counterintuitively, be in the top 1%. But I am not sure that is in line with the intent of the comment. If everyone got a chance to have one year with a $100 million dollar income, but otherwise only make $30,000, you would have very high income inequality on a single year basis, but in the end everyone would make the same amount. I am not sure that would impact democracy like one person making $100 million each year with everyone else making $30,000 each year.

> I propose to take another angle.

It seems to me that angle was already taken, and was already discussed to death before I showed up. I find this topic to be far more interesting, and one that we have barely just scratched the surface of, leaving no reason to pack up and find a new topic. There is no obligation for you to participate if you do not find it interesting in kind, of course, but I do not see the value in taking another angle out of the blue without natural emergence.
Don't think so, couldn't pick my Australian accent from here in Australia.

I'll go back and lay it on real thick and see if it does better.
This is completely false.

Debt can absolutely be sold for whatever it is worth. In this case, the Jones' debt owned by the Sandy Hook families is fairly valuable to Jones' other debtors because it means they get a bigger slice of the bankruptcy estate. Thus the Sandy Hook families can offer enough of their Jones' debt in the sale to make it more valuable. (Edit: more complicated than how I explained it because both sets of debtors include Sandy Hook families)

This isn't any more "imaginary" than money itself.
> I don't think it is unreasonable to read "will remain" as "will remain indefinitely"

That's a reasonable interpretation. But it involves an assumption on behalf of the reader, of words that are not there. I think it's a stretch to consider that specific post a "literal promise" by Antirez.

That said, I just did more research and must admit I am completely wrong with regards to the bigger picture there. My genuine apologies. In the HN commentary on that same post [1], the cofounder/CTO of Redis Labs (Yiftach) apparently made a much more direct statement that "Redis remains and always will remain, open source, BSD license". Due to use of the word "always", that I think can unambiguously be called a literal promise that was broken by the Redis company.

At least when it comes to Go code, I'm pretty impressed by the results so far. It's also pretty good at following directions, which is a problem I have with open source models, and seems to use or handle Claude's XML output very well.

Overall, especially seeing as I haven't paid a dime to use the API yet, I'm pretty impressed.

It is interesting... I strongly feel the opposite after debugging far too many SQL queries where someone checked for an empty string but forgot to check for NULL. NULL by default is a SQL footgun IMO.

> I wonder why, the chip had 105 qubits and the error correction experiment used 101 qubits.

I wonder why, byte has 8 bits and the Hamming error correction code uses 7 bits.

oh right - that's because *the scheme* requires 3-7-15-... bits [0] and 7 is the largest that fits

Same with surface error correction - it's just the largest number in a list. No need for conspiracies. And no connection to manufacturing capabilities, which determine qubits on a single chip

Safe signal handling has so many footguns that it seems worth re-considering the entire API.

Even OpenSSH has had issues with it [1].

It seems very difficult to build good abstractions for it in any programming language, without introducing some function colouring mechanism explicitly for this. Maybe a pure language like Haskell could do it.

BestGuess: A command-line benchmarking tool
BestGuess obtains CPU time measurements with little overhead, analyzes the distribution of run times, and ranks them with nonparametric stats. The tool shows you when your results do not follow a normal distribution, which is almost always. The ranking technique avoids mean and standard deviation in favor of statistics that work on such distributions. The project is not at version 1.0 yet. Suggestions are welcome.
I guess, just my opinion (probably worthless), if you can get it to speed up even ~20%, I think that would be enough to make the average person agree.
I haven't really tried since the SCO v. IBM days. But for a federal case, you used to be able to go to the courthouse and ask to look at the case file. You could make copies of anything you want (at their rates per page). Or you could use PACER to view it, if you had an account.

I suspect things are more on line these days rather than less, but I haven't tried lately. If nothing else, you should still be able to see everything on PACER. (If they are online instead of in PACER, there may be a delay time - three months, maybe? But for this case, that shouldn't matter.)

For state courts... I don't know.

Yes, that’s fair and I was sloppy with my phrasing. What I meant was that if you have 1,000 practical applications that function on the assumption the law is true and they behave as predicted, and then you have a single example that appears to disprove, then extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

A single device, made in some garage, that appears to disprove it is simply not rigorous enough to prove anything and isn’t worth third party investigation until the creator has shown they’ve ruled out possible explanations.
That’s great, but it didn’t actually work for me, or for many other people.

I think it is fair criticism that this adds complexity. However, I do have a couple of counter-arguments:

In order to avoid downtime and locking, you generally need multiple steps (e.g. some variation of add another column, backfill the data, remove previous column). You can codify this in long guidebooks on how to do schema changes (for example this one from gitlab [1]). You also need to orchestrate your app deployments in between those steps, and you often need to have some backwards compatibility code.

This is all fine but: 1. it slows you down and 2. it's manual and error prone. With pgroll, the process is always the same (start pgroll migration, deploy code, complete/rollback migration) so the team can exercise it often.

Second, while any software has bugs, it's worth noting that the main reason roll-ing back is quick and safe with pgroll is that it only has to drop views and any hidden columns. While the physical schema is changed, it is in a backwards compatible way until with complete the migration, so you can always skip the views if you have to bypass whatever pgroll is doing.

It guessed right, but it does not go by the accent, but by pronunciation of certain consonants. You can fake/simulate the former, but not the latter.
I'll tell you later.
> May I hazard a guess that you worked on low-value recurring auctions?

It varies. In all cases, the value was below $20,000, in many cases the auction was non-recurring and >$1,000 (for example, specific web domains). I've seen enough smart people fumble a $1,000+ VCG auction that I'd be nervous to assume bidding would be any better at $100 million. I've also seen enough investors fumble $10m+ investment deals (not auctions though) to feel comfortable asserting that a higher value auction does not necessarily imply that the participants will be better at auction theory.

When I intentionally spoke in my native accent (which is not something I normally do), it guessed it with 100% confidence, even though it's not very common. Impressive.

When I spoke like I normally do, it wasn't able to get anything on the first try, and on the second attempt it guessed 3 very different accents (e.g. Danish, Persian, ...) with more or less equal confidence. But it didn't guess my native accent at all.

Huh, I always thought I sound almost American. Looks like my accent is untraceable at best.
Well partly true... The part where no one wants to watch your videos seems extremely reasonable.

Unfortunately you veer way out of reasonableness when you compare the crime of arson with the civil law of defamation. Criminal law and civil law are very different things... So much so that im not even sure what you're trying to get at with your analogy.

You do seem upset about it though, and that does make sense... I'd imagine the world would be scary without even a basic understanding of the rules that you're held to.

Predicted a conflict if the US expanded the NATO alliance further east after the USSR fell.

Except Russia formally greenlighted at least partial NATO expansion (to CZ, HU, and PL) via a formal treaty it signed with NATO in 1997. Which right there, should suggest to you that there's something deeply broken with this narrative.

"We do not want a military alliance that was built to destroy us expanding to our border."

NATO wasn't built "to destroy" Russia.

You can say that NATO annoys Russia, or "is built to challenge Russia's influence outside its borders" if you want.

But to say it was built, or at any point even remotely intended "to destroy Russia" is just dumb, emotional manipulation.

Say a US citizen buys a house in the UK and takes out a £400,000 mortgage to pay for it and at the time, £400,000=$500,000 USD.

Now 3 years later, they want to refinance the £400k mortgage they owe with a different lender but the currency exchange rates have fluctuated and now £400,000=$550,000.

In the eyes of the US, they immediately owe capital gains tax on $50,000 even though nothing happened and they didn't even move out of the house.

So yes, the US charges CGT on foreign currency and equivalents.
I think we both misunderstood.

The US has a law that 80% or 85% of premiums needs to go to healthcare. So if an insurance company is already up against the limit, increasing the rejection rate will actually decrease salaries and yachts (because less money will be spent on healthcare, thus premiums need to be reduced, and the 20% available for employee salary becomes smaller).

https://www.cms.gov/marketplace/private-health-insurance/med...

Although, if increasing the rejection rate allows the insurance company to decrease individual premiums, which causes a lot more people to sign up for coverage due to low cost, that could increase total premium income, total spent on healthcare, and salaries.
