Businesses are also very conservative - if you go to the Big Boss and say "we should increase our price 20%" you're likely to be shot down unless you can show WHY it must be done or you go bankrupt.

This means that competitive prices will be "lower" than what the market clearing amount should be. So when they are "forced" to raise them, they then find they're still selling, and will be slow to bring them back down.

Which does occur, but first as sales, then perpetual sales, and then a new product size that's coincidentally cheaper.

I hope you understand that this anedcote is something like "I rented a car, I bought $9.50/gallon fuel, and then did the math on how many fewer miles that fuel got me vs when I buy fuel at home for sane prices" yeah? :)

$0.68 is nuts. I am on my fourth EV, and currently I will expect 0.35-0.50 on my frequent road trips between CA and OR/WA. I also tend to favor the Electrify America stations since they're free for 30mn for me to use. In my car, that 30mn will take me from 20% charge to ~85% charge for $0.

Once the free-charging sugar high is over for a lot of EV owners, I think they will start doing the math too and prefer, strongly, to charge at home. The other problem is there are no posted rates for the charge, and once you glide into a charger down to 30mi range, you're probably not going to pick up and go to a different one.
I disagree, yes it feels less VanillaJS-ey but having unwanted reactivity made Svelte annoying at times and caused reactivity loops that just made code ugly to avoid.

Anyway, if you don't want it like that you can continue to use the old system.
Doesn’t seem like it.

It’s about interactive instrumentation of the runtime. Think lua in Haskell adding slight reflection and a REPL. In another comment I referenced Chris Kohlhepp’s write up.
I think Norm Wildberger's videos are very useful to think about and enjoy though certainly one should reflect carefully on what he says. His videos inspired my work on a new definition of real numbers. The basic idea is that it is the set of all intervals that contain the real number. Since this is circular, there are properties that describe when a set of rational intervals are defined. This approach is equivalent to Dedekind cuts and does not address Wildberger's concern.

But there is another definition which I call oracles which does a better job. It is much more constructive and is about a a procedure that one can ask whether a fuzzy version of a given interval contains the real number. It has various properties for a procedure to satisfy and, if so, then it will generate the set of intervals that contain the real number if taken out to infinite length.

So basically, it is a two part-definition. There is a theoretically perfect version and then there is another that yields to the practical problems of not being able to actually specify a real number entirely.

If interested, the papers are hosted on GitHub [1]. The most recent version going over what I just said is Real Numbers As Rational Betweenness Relations [2]

Agreed. I assumed the push for EV's was to buy the US and EU time to refine their processes around CNG refinement, storage and transport and to avoid dependence on Saudi (for US)/Russian (for EU) oil. That's nearly a done deal in the US. CNG not far from me is $2.25/gallon. No idea how far along the EU is or if the plan is for the US to sell CNG to the EU.
Hey, thank you so much. I shared the Discord file because I was sharing it with some friends, and then thought HN might be interested, but I don't have a more convenient place to serve the file at the moment. Thank you for hosting it.

Good point about exporting to Opus! I used .mp3 because the original audio files were also in .mp3. I've re-exported the file in Opus now, let me know what would be the best way to send it to you.

As for file name and credits, I think it's probably best to credit LiveATC (https://www.liveatc.net/), since that's where I got the original audio and I didn't really do much else beyond separating the channels. The specific files I used are the YYZ Ground and YYZ Tower recordings from February 17th that start at 1900z.
Chiming in here, Jetbrains is a subscription model, but with a very important qualifier in the form of a perpetual fallback license once you stop paying. It's an important distinction, and I wish more businesses would follow this model.
With any other investor those production issues would never had existed because the production lines themselves would have never existed. Most normal capital providers would have not allowed or taken such a bold risk. So is it sad that jobs were lost? Sure. But they existed at one point when otherwise wouldn’t have with the standard more risk averse investor looking for a more immediate ROI.

His lack of discipline and departure from conventional wisdom is the reason Tesla, SpaceX exist today. Without his patience and capital they would all be footnotes of failed companies in their respective industries.

I think you could probably make the argument that those industries might not even be serious if Musk’s risks and patience didn’t demonstrate their viability.
You didn't mention them by name. You mentioned the top 10%, which naturally includes everyone I named. It also includes folks making $178k MAGI.

You said "... why do people believe the rich don't pay their fair share when the top 10% pay almost 3/4 of the taxes... "

I'm suggesting talking about the top 10% is misleading because when people talk about the rich not paying their fair share, they're not talking about the master electrician in your home town that broke $180k working overtime. You conflated the rich with the top 10%, but your grouping includes a whole lot of people that most of us wouldn't consider rich.

To answer your question about why people believe the rich don't pay their fair share, you either need to look at a different figure than the top 10% (which invalidates the 3/4 of the taxes portion) or you need to say everyone (including married couples filing jointly) making $178k MAGI is rich. I don't think people at large agree with the latter, so the rest of your question is premised on the wrong set of numbers. That may answer the question you posed initially.
Overall, NASA doesn't strike me as a place full of people leeching off government salaries with no benefit. They create valuable stuff. But the article mentions things like committing to suboptimal projects just so some senior workers can keep doing the same job... That sounds pretty bad. Space agencies shouldn't be jobs programs.
> forget billionaries

That’s a key part of the argument though. Once someone reaches a certain level of wealth, should it get easier or harder to keep growing that wealth?

I say this in terms of value to society. Is having some extremely, extremely rich individuals of value to the US?
I'm not sure that feeding starving people keeps incompetent leaders in power.

Plenty of incompetent leaders maintain power with starving people. Some by design.

What you just described for the baby applies equally to the snake. It's obviously difficult to neatly segment things into innate and non-innate, but the idea that walking is a matter of maturation rather than "learning" is the mainstream view among scientists and has been for a century.

Again, I conceded that you have to "fine-tune" to get good at walking. But the contrast that with say, playing golf. That's something that categorically has to be learnt, we don't see fetus practicing their drive in utero.
I think theres some tech sway here. Ex: I wonder how technology changes how we recall events and WHEN we recall them. The plane that flipped upside down being a great example. Likely less than 1% of people use a diary to recount insanely major events of their lives. In the 1980s, lets say 80% of people used diaries/journals to recount the events of their lives. That number today is probably less than 1%. But NOW 100% of people use their phones to recount events via video. They dont try to remember what happened, since its there captured at the time of the event. Diaries recount the event after the information has decayed and there’s a minds-eye element to it, so it has additional subjectivity because reading a diary you have to imagine what happened in the past instead of a visual aid.
It really isn't. Climate change is going to make large amounts of land unlivable. That's going to cause a climate refugee crisis. I agree the effects of that refugee crisis are unknown, but I can't see any resolution that doesn't involve increased nationalism, civil wars, and violent resource conflicts. Given this is a global crisis, that's a recipe for WW3.

This was all avoidable, of course. But instead of fixing it, we spent decades fiddling around with toys like LLMs. Whee.

How do you measure productivity, better than "I know it when I see it"?

Software development is one of the best studied areas for what productivity is, and the thing that everyone agrees is that there are no good metrics for it. For all sorts of jobs above "tier 1 customer service (which can be measured in calls per hour)" it gets really hard to measure, and even that is very open to gaming in ways that lead to bad outcomes- e.g. the entire history of Goodhart's Law.

Agreed. My 24V DeWalt cordless drill is the best tool I've ever bought, but tough masonry requires the pro-grade Bosch corded, although its price annoyed me when its chuck turned out to be crap.

A friend, who worked at the place I bought that Bosch drill, chose to spend £14.99 on the cheapest corded drill he could find, then was surprised to find it didn't have enough power to actually drill a hole. It's the one type of tool I'd treat as an exception to the idea of buying cheap first, especially if you're young and moving into your first home - a good one will do its job well and last decades.
I worry about the security aspect of modern cars, now that they're connected things, many times the thing with the internet connection has access to the CAN bus too.

How long did Israel’s supply chain attack on Hezbollah’s pager source stay clandestine?

How long did the USA keep it hidden that they owned the Swiss company that manufactured encryption devices for other countries?

They are extremely adept at finding ways to use the secret knowledge without blowing their source. A good example of this is the scene in _The Imitation Game_ after they break the Enigma code for the first time, but Alan Turing explains that they can’t notify the allied ship convoy without leaking that fact.
my point stands even if you use top 1% or top 0.1%. no matter what you use for [income tax], the group size and revenue generated in income taxes by them will be far disproportionate. this is an inherent property of the distribution.
> You're telling me you updated YOUR code to work with the latest framework release?

I work on frontend right now, but I've worked on backend earlier, as well as gamedev and desktop applications. And it was always like that in every area: when your major dependency has a major version upgrade, you will have to spend effort on migrating your code to support it.
It makes sense, I don't suppose Discord is particularly interested in being a file-sharing site.

See the comment above about hosting the file in a more permanent way.
And how much money per month are you willing to pay for each of these capabilities/services? I can't imagine paying $50/month for any use of AI.

I willingly pay $80/month for a smart phone and its ecosystem. Google search (for general queries) is worth a lot less to me, since it's fairly easily replicated by federating a search across a dozen sites where most answers arise now. So I might pay $5/mo for that, or maybe $20/mo for code queries (to be paid by my employer of course). Internet access for desktop/laptop computing or for media streaming might be worth $40/mo.

So what are the end uses of AI that I'm willing to pay generaously for? If GenAI is supposed to revolutionize the infosphere, the question has to be, what service will it provide that can justify its cost -- the $trillion investment in infrastructure that is underway?

I have absolutely no idea what AI's killer app could be. IMO, not even a dedicated secretary/tutor/companion is worth more than $50/mo to the average bloke. And that drip of revenue per user isn't nearly enough to justify the development costs that AI is incurring now.
If taxes were lower all your stuff would cost more without the infrastructure to support it.
> If the engine loses a fan blade, it will vibrate violently and it's probably better to lose the engine.

That's the idea with a fan blade loss, they didn't want to just drop an engine in that case so the centering mechanism on the turbine has an intentionally weaker part is designed to snap off to allow the spinning turbine to recenter itself as opposed to vibrating the whole structure off and causing more damage.

The gear thing is to prevent puncturing the fuel tanks in the wings on a hard landing. It's preferable to snap off the gear, otherwise leaking fuel has a good chance of it immediately igniting.

Unlikely. C and Rust have run-time environments. Just not as elaborate as the JVM for Java or a web browser for JS and WASM.

It could only be about adding a second run-time environment to the same operating system process. That’s what the questions seems to be enquiring about.

And it’s about instrumenting the Rust run-time environment with a REPL and human-friendly run-time data structures.
No, it's not. You can take a loan against your stock and don't pay any taxes. Very common strategy. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, etc. all use this strategy to fund their lifestyles without selling stock.
> Where does the money the landlord pays in property tax come from?

From the landlord's bank account, hopefully.

It could have gotten there in any number of ways. Rent is the most obvious, but there's also the landlord's own paycheck, their spouse's paycheck, other investment income, social security payments, alimony and child support payments, gambling winnings, inheritances, loans.

> If that tax doubled next year, what would happen?

If it's a tight property market, rents go up. If housing is plentiful, or the local job market is in decline, the landlord eats the loss.

How does the above argument not lead to "why not just nuke Russia today, until it stops moving"?
Interesting. The new Svelte seems clearer to me. In fact, Svelte seems to be moving toward vue to me, and away from react. That is components have stable identities and each piece of state has a subscriber list, which may directly update a DOM element or another piece of state. None of which requires re-"rendering".
Tsmc might be good for the fab business. Broadcom very very bad for everything else. Broadcom historically doesn’t acquire, it kills.
If you use a VPN provider that only has one set of servers provided by one hosting provider then sure. If you’re connecting to any number of servers then that’s probably less of a problem. I’m much more concerned with Starbucks collecting data on their free WiFi than one of a number of hosting providers or whoever I sometimes exit through. The services you log into selling that data to the same brokers as everyone else is a much bigger vulnerability IMO.
> I’m a little shocked at how much negativity there is around LLMs among developers

There's a Quentin Tarantino quote where he says there are 2 kinds of film critics. There are those who love movies and there are those that love the movies they love.

A lot of developers really seem to love the technology they love.

These people are where most of the negativity is coming from. And my guess is that the people who are encouraged by LLMs and not negative (mostly) aren't taking time out of their days to write long blog posts or argue about it online.
> taxing wealth introduces complications beyond the scope of discussion.

That’s a key part of this discussion and argument. So once someone has the money, let’s just ignore it.
Bad comparison because Cursor uses cloud-based large language models. This is running purely locally on your machine.
Not sure what you mean by "rich" as it's a pretty vague term.

If you mean top 0.5%, then sure, nearly all of their money typically does not come from regular income.

If you mean top 10% then not really, most people in that bracket will be paying substantial income tax.
Can someone post a summary? This is written in a way that’s really hard to read.
- "they're firing the wrong 10%"

This was something people overlooked about the CDC layoffs: those, likewise, targeted people who were administratively easy to fire, which in that case was highly skilled experts hired under an exceptional federal employment statute ("Title 42"), which allowed them far higher salaries than other public service workers—but without the standard protections.

- "EIS officers are hired under Title 42, a mechanism that allows the federal government to bring in the best and the brightest, in some cases paying them at rates higher than the typical public sector wages. It offers workers fewer job protections, however, making Title 42 workers easier to fire."

first, yes, it is taxed as income, because it is income.

so what - the loan has to be paid off, and the stock will inevitably be sold and taxed. there is no scheme to get away from paying taxes forever without dying, and that scheme (that one that involves dying), is the same one that benefits an average person w.r.t estate tax.

You misunderstand the argument.

The population being taxed via tariffs instead of income/capital gains is a net gain for wealthy people always, because they spend a much smaller fraction of their income, and a significant portion of the "tariff-base" is fixed-cost like.

Consider an iphone or a washing machine: Basically everyone is gonna pay those tariffs once, it does not matter if you work a construction job or own a whole city block.
I think I would describe these as "scene kids", which is often conflated with "goth" but is quite different culturally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_(subculture) If a scene kid is dressed mostly in black—which is always common—they would probably be conflated with goth pretty easily. (...and frankly few of the people I grew up with were even aware of the difference; this is certainly something imposed partially in retrospect to describe trends.)

EDIT: the same as the above but with "emo", which is much closer to the goth all-black look I guess, but still looks compiled at the mall rather than the DIY look that goth typically implies.

"True goth" (i.e. someone associated with the original UK scene) can be found here, but you'll want to hit up an eighties night at the alt club to find it.

Then there's a lot of people who dress in black and don't particularly care about goth music, but they're still colloquially referred to as goth.

It really depends who you're around and how deep they are into music culture how these fits are interpreted and named. For the most part these days, these music subcultures blur pretty heavily and policing/being sticklers about whether or not someone is a "poser" is frowned upon. For instance, I have a friend who dresses distinctly punk, and likes to attend punk shows, but does not call herself punk just to avoid dealing with kids who are eager to establish an identity by mocking a "poser" (which, tbh, I feel like if you're over 35 the concept should be absurd).
Luckily, neither CPython, nor Lua, nor Perl, nor PHP, nor Ruby, nor Google Chrome are written in C.

Oh, wait.
How do the wealthy "hoard" money today? It is not like they store piles of copper or warehouses of grain. Maybe having multiple homes they rarely use is a form of hoarding but most wealth is invested in stocks, bonds, and other things that grow the economy. Some heirs of wealth might just be living on yachts spending down their inheritance doing nothing productive but that does not last long.
