It doesn't have to be that complicated. Just absolute terms could have the desired effect. - 1% tax of 10 million = 100k - 20% tax of 100k = 20k Hence, the rich pays more tax.

This line of thinking could be applied to literally any company in the world, even to Spirit Airlines 5 minutes before it went out of business.

Hard to not look at the crazy valuation of SpaceX and not see a correlation. At some point, something's gotta give.

Wayland uses UNIX socket for message passing, but then offload most of the work to shared memory when the real work begins (GPU rendering). I just wanted to add some nuances that i…

It's interesting how you elect to name two presidents in an era that were democrats while conveniently omitting the republican president in between. With all his baggages, I find t…

Not always, and in this case, the study is very light on details on how the selection process was done. The burden of the RCT is on the research team and the quality of the randomi…

I don't know, the study seems pretty mild in findings and the research doesn't mention anything about the socioeconomic environment in which each of the children grew in. Maybe it'…

What's wrong with voicing opinion on the Internet? It's a personal blog, you don't have to read it if you don't like it. There are plenty of strange things that gets publish every …

Yes, absolutely. The Cybertruck was indeed the first of its kind to have 4 wheels attached to its structure. No car company before Tesla had ever done this before and as such, it w…

> Geeks who didn't even stand near professional sports should really shut up about anything sport related, lol. Reggie Dunlop is ready for duty, he'll get the job done.

I'm sure it's a preventive measure and no one placed bets to enrich themselves in the last 12 months...

It's undeniable that it has improved the productivity in _some_ areas of development. But my point stand nonetheless, if development is improved, it seems to be difficult to surfac…

It may sound obtuse, but I'm genuinely curious. I understand that AI as an assistant can be empowering, but the way AI was sold to the masses was that it would replace everyone and…

This is a neat experiment, and I read the story before joining the conversation here and realizing it was written the way it was. Many people here already chimed in on the emotion …

Thank you so much for sharing this video, it's just amazing to see a bunch of young amateurs getting so excited about things that would have been virtually inaccessible 20 years ag…

I could give the benefit of the doubt to any other administration doing it. This one? I really have a hard time thinking it's nothing else then another grifting scheme.

I am not delusional about those power-hungry people, but I somehow thought that with better access to information, society would have been able to better regulate them. Maybe in hi…

Why did we have to go through all this pain. Was that really necessary? And given we mostly talk about technology here, let me put this through that lens: With all the technology a…

>For many years we had to rely on our own internally developed fork of FFmpeg to provide features that have only recently been added to FFmpeg I really wonder if they couldn't have…

Yes, I think you're right that it is not the end of the road for LLM and the application of LLM might be adopted over time across a variety of industries. I guess what I failed to …

I think the brunt of the disruption regarding AI is already behind us for LLMs at least. It's possible we'll see improvements over the following months/years, but government will i…

Interesting adjacent theory is how much are datacenters becoming military target to strike as part of disrupting initial defenses. It doesn't seem it was the case in this instance,…
