You are reading universality where that was not implied whatsoever. "Both parties" simply means the buyer and seller (it is indeed a restatement of the principle of comparative advantage if you look in any economics textbook, both the buyer and seller in a market benefit from the transaction because both produce provide what the other cannot, and facilitate it through money as the medium of exchange), where are you getting the idea that that relates to the American people at large? In the case of Teslas, people who give money to the company get a car back and the company gets to continue to do RND and create more cars. In the case of SpaceX, it's the governments or private corporations that want to send things to space. That's it, nothing was said as to whether these transactions benefit the average American, that is why I said your comment is a non sequitur.

When I go to https://model.energy/ and solve for the cost of energy from renewables + storage in the US, using 2030 cost assumptions, the cost is less than $0.05/kWh. This is providing synthetic 24/7/365 baseload power, so all intermittency has been taken care of.
Yeah, max effort racing once you're well trained is basically doing math based on your training data to estimate your physical limit, and then spending the majority of the race in agony, telling yourself whatever is necessary to avoid slowing down to hit that limit.

The more plausible looking modern fusion companies tend to be designing very small reactors compared to those projects. Vogtle is 5000 MWs. Olkioluoto is 1600. Helion is promising reactors that are 50 and can be shipped via trains by 2028 (or 2030 depending on how you read some statements/interpret what I just said). They still need some neutron shielding to actually operate them safely (boronated concrete, probably not shipped by train), but nothing on the scale of what you need for a fission plant.

This.

Future programming language designers are then answering questions like:

"How low-level can this language be while considering generally available models and hardware available can only generate so many tokens per second?",

"Do we have the language models generate binary code directly, or is it still more efficient time-wise to generate higher level code and use a compiler?"

"Do we ship this language with both a compiler and language model?"

"Do we forsake code readability to improve model efficiency?"
No, with proper system design solar + wind + storage is cheaper than new construction nuclear.

There's a reason China is installing two orders of magnitude more solar than nuclear these days (nameplate capacity basis).

I’ve been out of the Java scene for a really long time, but will be coming back to it soon. I’m curious - these performance issues described here, are they inherit to how Java itself? Is it baggage from Spring/Boot? Are there ways to get more bang for the buck with some careful choices in a system like this?

The closest I’ve done to Java recently is C#, which I think may have similar challenges, but overall didn’t seem quite as bad if you avoided lots of framework extras. It also wasn’t something I was digging into deeply though, so perhaps I’m mistaken.

> Unrealized capital gains are wealth, not income.

There have been proposals to tax unrealized capital gains as income. Those proposals are what the comment you replied to is arguing against.

> The problem of how to value assets for taxation is older than electronic computers, and decades ago tax authorities set forth rules/guidelines for valuing difficult-to-value assets.

"The places that attempt this have rules" is not actually a solution. The typical solution is to only apply such taxes to asset classes that are relatively easy to value, like real estate.

But that in itself creates a lot of nasty distortions, like exacerbating the housing crisis. Local government gets tax revenue from real estate, so they get more if real estate is expensive, so they're on board with raising the cost of construction to drive up scarcity. The higher taxes reduce investment (i.e. construction) until rents increase to cover the new higher construction costs in addition to the taxes, and now people are homeless and unable to afford housing. Meanwhile capital moves from local real estate construction and other local businesses that would have to pay the higher real estate costs into global capital markets, reducing local jobs.

And it still doesn't answer the question. How do you value a closely held startup that may grow or fail? How do you value bespoke art? How do you value a contract to pay $100,000 from a foreign company at risk of default? If it's subjective then it's a tax shelter. "Have the courts decide" doesn't explain how you expect them to make their decision.

> wealth taxes already exist, and they're administratively easier to implement then income taxes.

That's not saying much, income taxes are some of the most administratively expensive taxes to implement, and your argument is to use them in addition to rather than instead of income taxes, so the costs are cumulative.

> It's a good thing that policymakers in the countries where wealth taxes already exist used their brains and decided to have minimum wealth thresholds for their wealth taxes.

Your claim was that it would be paid by investment funds. Investment funds easily have enough assets to meet any plausible threshold, but they're owned by middle income people, so are you taxing them or not?

How is "progressive wealth tax" supposed to work for corporate entities? If a massive foreign conglomerate owns a minority of the shares of a tiny foreign company which owns shares of a domestic company, is the tiny entity subject to the tax? What if the foreign country doesn't make ownership structures public? What if the conglomerate doesn't own any part the tiny entity or the entity is a human but the conglomerate has a long-term options contract to buy the shares for a fixed price?

"There are rules for what to do" isn't an explanation. If the rules create tax shelters, you have problems. If the rules create perverse incentives in order to prevent tax shelters, you have different problems. There doesn't appear to be a sensible implementation.

I'd say it's the difference between a country where stealing is a crime, but some people commit that crime anyway, and sometimes the stealing isn't detected, and sometimes it's detected but it's not worth the cost of prosecuting the thief... versus a country with laws like "steal all you want! it's not a crime at all! in fact we actively encourage it! stealing is great!"

jcranmer is trying to convince you that there is no difference between these two positions, because, technically, in both there is at least some stealing.

But they're not the same. Let's go back to the top-level question. Why is a US-based wrapper for a French library choosing to pre-emptively delete all binaries it has ever produced and completely shut down, out of fear of unstated legal actions, while the French library has been in active development for 25 years, and -- if software patents weren't explicitly illegal there -- would likely have been sued to oblivion by the same people who menace the USA.

Point taken, of course. But the fact that emerging technologies (or technologies that people wish would emerge) are often overhyped is not exactly an argument that "commercially viable fusion electricity still remains a looooong way off."

And, FWIW, I think it's far from clear at this point that progress towards AGI has been overhyped. It's true that we're not there yet, but how many serious people were actually predicting we'd get there in early 2025? If anything, that one seems like it could be coming up on us faster that many had expected. But, of course, nobody really knows — certainly not me.

Actually...same with FSD, now that I'm thinking about your comment a bit more critically. There are a few people out there who keep selling a snake-oil version of the technology. But, if you tune them out, my sense is that we've actually made pretty substantial progress on that problem too. After all, there are cities in the U.S. today where you can get picked up in a driverless taxi!

I'm a self taught programmer. Recently had a technical interview - final interview before getting hired, everything had been going smoothly so far. Guy asked me to describe "dependency injection", and I had heard this phrase, but didn't know the definition off hand. I failed the interview because of this, and they told me so later when I tried to follow up.

So I looked up what dependency injection is, and realized it's something that to me is just basic programming common sense that I had already been using 30 years ago.

I think to a different energy need I have - heating - and how much substantially cheaper it is to heat my home with gas than electricity in Southern California. That despite much of our energy being generated with natural gas, probably in a much more efficient way than my furnace does. The problem is how incredibly greedy California electric companies are. Hearing about PG&E’s and SDG&E’s profits is depressing. A serious proposal to lower electric costs in California could turn this state slightly less blue. That bad.

> First, all these certificates in the web PKI have SANs in them.

Yes, and technically true is the best variety of true, but… Usually people don't refer to certificates where “Subject” is equal to the one and only “Subject Alternative Name”, as SAN certificates.

> So what you're actually talking about are certificates with two or more specific DNS names rather than a single wildcard.

If we are going to nitpick over the SAN designation a basic wildcard certificate is usually a SAN cert too, by the same definition. They have (at least mine always have had):

Subject =
“CN = *.domain.tld”
Subject Alternate Name =
“DNS Name: *.domain.tld
DNS Name: domain.tld”

(or similar for a wildcard hung off a sub-domain)

> "Hey, other than www.example.com what else gets asked in similar DNS queries?"

True, but only if those queries are hitting public DNS somehow. You can hide this by having your local DNS be authoritative for internal domains — your internal requests are never going to outside DNS servers. There could be leaks if someone who normally has access via VPN tries to connect without, but if you have something so truly sensitive that just knowing the name is a problem¹ then I hope your people are more careful than that (or your devices seriously locked down).

And I still say the easy workaround for this is names that only mean something internally. projectwhatthefuck.dev.company.tld is not going to mean much other than giving an attacker compared to projectousurpcompetitor.company.tld. Yes, they'll know the server name, and if it is publicly addressable they can connect to it, but if you have it properly configured they'll have to give it auth information they hopefully won't have before it hands over any useful information beyond the meaningless (to them) name that they already know.

--------

[1] Some of our contracts actually say that we can't reveal that we work with the other party, so technically² we could be in trouble if we leak the company name via DNS (bigwellknowmultinationalbank.ourservice.tld). Though when we offer a different name, in case the link between us can leak out that way, in those cases they've always declined.

[2] Really they don't care that much. They just don't want us to use their name/logo/other in promotional material.
