I remember implementing this decades ago. Brings me back to see it again :)

Your implementation looks nice.

You are right that often lots of lattice tricks and such are played in real implementations.

If you are worried about speed and memory usage while dealing with context sensitivity, and want to make the lattice taller or wider, incorporate BDD's or a similar mechanism. Somewhat pointless for single-functions, but as context-sensitivity grows, you either need BDD's or summaries (or some form of auto-sharing) if you want to represent nice large lattices.

Lattice value bdd's are a thing too, so you don't have to spend a bunch of time figuring out how to represent the lattice as a BDD (alternatively, you can do something like Souffle and friends that will take care of it under the covers) :)

This is the historically normal mechanism for effective representation of this sort of problem, because it deals with sharing of equivalent values/etc for you.

Also, if you want later passes to take advantage of the final lattice information, there are ways to represent it in the IR effectively, the same way you would with value ranges.

In value ranges, you would do:

if (a0 > 5) {
a1 = range_info(a0, >5)
} else {
a2 = range_info(a0, <=5)
}

You can do the same thing with the final type info to pass it along to later things.

The limit of this kind of splitting is basically SSI and friends.

If you are interested in the general theory of splitting and using it to represent info or solve other types of problems faster, see: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.5952 and friends.
Maybe in a present:

- Dominated by a intractable global manufacturer/technologist (China) that doesn't care about copyright

- Proliferated by a communication network that doesn't care about copyright (Internet)

and a future where:

- We have thinking machines on par with human creativity that get better based on more information (regardless of who owns the rights to the original synapses firing)

That maybe, just maybe, the whole "who should pay to use copyrighted work?" question is irrelevant, antiquated, impossible, redundant...

And for once we instead realize in the face of a new world, an old rule no longer applies.

(Similar to a decade ago when we debated if a personal file was uploaded to a cloud provider should a warrant apply)
With these proposed rules, American AI may be able to surpass the AI of China and Russia, but will American creators and ordinary people be happy with this, because all the money will end up in the pockets of Sam Altman and other billionaires, and ordinary creators will be left with nothing?

> Diversions allow files from a package pkg-A to be temporarily replaced by files from another package pkg-B. When pkg-B is uninstalled, the files from pkg-A are put back into place.

> Do not attempt to divert a file which is vitally important for the system’s operation - when using dpkg-divert there is a time, after it has been diverted but before dpkg has installed the new version, when the file does not exist.
In Australia, "Blue Collar" jobs are paid extremely high. A normal tradesperson (builders, electricians, plumbers, etc.) earns $125,000 pa, and specialist commercial construction people may earn over $300,000.

Even a retired person doing minor repairs or gardening charges over $80 per hr.
Where/how is the electricity sourced in a given case is probably worth consideration. If you have alternative sources for generation of steam vs generation of electricity, the methods/approach may vary. Not to mention the impact of the equipment necessary, the build process, availability and dependency on supply lines should all be considered.
I've found when people ask this question, it's usually because they don't have a network to ask. Or, right or wrong, they just don't like the social aspect of going to their friends for work.

I never understand why anyone thinks its good notation. The layout means nothing and lets you infer nothing because exponentiation isn't a 2d planar geometric operation. All the information and rules are contained in the idea "exponentials map the additive reals to the multiplicative reals".

The notation conveys no information at all, and provides no means of proving anything, and even the notation for function composition is worse.

Given the operator pow : R^2->R there are 2 possible inverses. root and log

root isn't even interesting. its just pow with the 2nd argument precomposed with reciprocal. root x b = pow x 1/b

> This isn't a football problem, it's a "company has way too much power" problem.

This isn't limited to just one company. The problem is how copyright has been abused and over-prioritized until it's become a threat to people's freedoms, to art, and to progress.

Copyright needs to be reined in so that no matter what the company is or what product they're pushing innocent people won't be negatively impacted just so that the industry can squeeze more profit from people while refusing to adapt.

I guess when I'm solving sudoku I lean on "runs" being all 9 so I know which of the 9 go into certain spots

I'm sure I'm not seeing something that lets me advance, but I'm just stuck with a lot of cells with two options.

it's also not clear why some "runs" just connect adjacent cells. I assumed adjacency (across zones) didn't matter because of that but the puzzle warned me when I broke that rule.
You "really don't understand" the difference? Do we need to spell out that these systems aren't human artists simply looking at paintings and admiring features about them? They are Python programs running linear algebra libraries, sucking in pixels from anywhere they can find them, and then being used by corporations with billion dollar valuations to increase investor/shareholder value at the expense of the people who provided the artwork to train the systems - people who, as you already know, are NOT paid for providing their work, and who never CONSENTED to having their work used for such a purpose. Now do you "understand the difference"?

It really isn't relevant in the way that you think.

The fiscal cycle is a ponzi cycle following a ponzi curve this mirrors many areas including business growth S-curves.

In general that characteristically means benefits start front-loaded, they have a period of diminishment, and then at a point outflows exceed inflows where you have to pay back and keep paying more than you spent. The overall plan being by the third stage, you are dead and don't have to pay it back, or have been bought out and its someone else's problem.

Even with normalization of the price level it doesn't accurately reflect purchasing power well, and so you cannot really measure opportunity cost or make an accurate objective comparison.

This is the nature of fiat money distortions and why Mises was so against Socialism. In his works he defines the Economic Calculation Problem, or the Socialist Calculation Problem whichever you rather prefer. Sustaining chaotic distortions are ECP/SCP.

The nature of fiat/ponzi is that money printing in an economy debases exchange, extracting cost and forcing failures broadly to non-market socialism when that third stage happens.

This is reflected in a lack of employment, and no or gradually fewer businesses entering the market/industry. It acts like a sieve, with the money printer continuing even after no profit can be made (where regular business exits the market). It is a parasite that kills its host every time, but that is a problem for next quarter.

Distortions take many forms and they are chaotic and by that nature they unknowable in detail specifically and unpredictable. Artificial Supply Constraint to raise price level is one such form.

Often there are whipsaw dynamics between opposing constraints, with diminishing returns required to remain stable. A cliffside with drop-offs on either side as you approach, and you can only march forward into the ocean. At first there is a minor safe path, but eventually it converges. Hysteresis can be an impossible to solve problem without being able to change the underlying system.

Price levels being suppressed (such as Gold/Silver/Food). Price discovery being manipulated (dark pool transactions exceeding exchange volume). These are signs of chaotic distortions caused by money printing.

Economic calculation requires price discovery, which requires adversarial decision-making. Cooperative behaviors naturally occur when there are few participants. The distortions injected through the money supply have knowable (in general) dynamics and outcomes.

Its important to remember that Price != Purchasing Power. Wage suppression is also a real thing and its fueled by the same.

Even if you believe that every one of these things is correct (which is a big _even_) -- It's a really bad idea to let private actors break the law, then decide not to punish them if it turns out to be useful enough.

It's bad for competitors who didn't break the law, bad for future companies who have to gamble on if they're getting a pass at breaking the next big thing's law, and bad for parties who suffered losses they didn't expect because they were working within the law.

If you want to throw out the copyright system I'm right there with you, but change the laws, don't just reward lawbreaking and cronyism.

I have had to interact with more than a few predators (socio/psychopaths) so make sure to incorporate them into your responses. Also, be sure to include people with different cultural values when you are working through this.

1. List me some social rights that do not require other people to honor their existence.

2. Because there will be people who do not honor other people's rights, how would you try to get them to do so? There are, afaik, no "unalienable rights" recognized across all human societies and all members therein--if you can provide some, not just aspirational, I'd love to be corrected.

3. You actually use the word "legitimizing". Who codifies and enforces laws? Who informs, persuades, coerces people to honor other people's rights, the laws explicating the consequences of those rights and the punishments for infringement? Who restrains or removes the recalcitrant from harming the rest of society?

5. The concern of how much power we have to relinquish to powerful people to support the N+1 right is the question.

0a. You missed the biggest flaw in my analysis in that I did not show that there is a correlation between the number of rights/obligations and the power given to an executive to enforce them. If just honoring one social right requires power concentration, how much more power is required for allowing other social rights?

0b. Is there a way to restrain the power of the executive enforcing social rights so that they do not have enough power to dishonor them themselves?

-- your last point about replacing social rights with laws is spot on. One good purpose for laws is to support social rights. Once we have laws, we have to have policing and courts and punishment and rehabilitation. We will also have lawmakers and lobbyists because the law is never in final release.
Are you trying to make a point? The indeterminate forms are statements about limits. Those limits are statements about the possible range of certain operations on infinitesimal and infinite values. It's perfectly valid to multiply those values. And when zero is one of the multiplicands, it's also the product.

You might want to think about why two times infinity is not an indeterminate form.
Since you know more about this than me, are there any proposed methods to prevent manipulating value in order to reduce tax burden?

This reminded me of two other recommendations:

1) write a pretty printer early on (I had one for the s-expr based syntax and one for the concrete syntax I introduced later)
This will allow you to automatically apply the syntax changes on the example code you have written in your PL with only very little programming

2) instead of parser generators use recursive descent + Pratt parsing
Pratt parsing is a little bit magical at first but it is easy to develop a
working intuition without understanding all the details of the algorithm.

It’s a poor definition. The same “subsidization and directive influence” applies to all of Krugman’s Nobel-wining domestic champion, emerging market development leaders, in virtually all ‘successful’ economies. It also applies in the context of badly run, failed and failing economies. Safe to say this factor is only somewhat correlated. Broad assertions are going to be factually wrong.
Bigger or smaller companies is exactly who hires consultants and contractors (yes, medium too).

A few companies aim for full time only - but I don't feel that's many. Some companies have overall contracts and outsource to specific services companies - and will rarely consider individuals (both US and Europe).

Your network is not people who will necessarily hire you for a project. They are people who might at some point know something.

Your network should also include other consultants and contractors who are likely to be over- or under-worked at any time and could use your help.

my confusion (as best as I can tell through the fog of confusion) is that adjacent cells seem to not be allowed to have the same number... and also there are a bunch of obviously adjacent cells with lines connecting only those two cells (but also a lot of obviously adjacent cells with no lines connecting them.) Those lines connecting only two plainly adjacent cells are confusing me.
Your argument for regulation is...reasons why it works out without regulation, and is already covered by existing regulations?

Granted the "regulation" I'm referring to above is a law or EO to block California's regulation, and I don't support California's regulation either. But I believe regulations should only exist when there's no better alternative, because they usually have unintended consequences. If it's true that OpenAI can basically just leave California, the better alternative for the government may be doing nothing.
Here's an logarithmic fact that I've made use of frequently:

If X is a random variable having a uniform distribution between zero and one, then –ln(X)/λ has an exponential distribution with rate λ.

This relationship comes in handy when, for example, you want to draw weighted random samples. Or generating event times for simulations.
