Is there some downside of that to you? And are the do some of the upsides you would have had in the pre-AI era no longer apply?

What is "un-distribution"?

It's easy to talk at cross purposes in discussions like this. There are two implicit claims * Few bugs occurred due to type issues (which I think you are asserting) * You can desig…

Thought experiment: suppose company C does a small IPO. I'm rich and buy all their offering. Scenario 1: I hold all the stock for decades until I die. Under your terminology, I am …

So it's not the stealing that was wrong, but what the proceeds were put to?

Yeah, it should be about the value everyone gets from billionaires. I would love there to be more billionaires. It would be a sign that more and more wealth is being created in soc…

Oh, I don't know any of those. The only billionaires I know of are those providing service to consumers or businesses that people can freely decide whether to pay for or not. I jus…

I fear you are right, but I feel like trying it anyway.

> Once they define it as stealing, then it's morally indefensible, by definition. Right, similar to the equivocation around the meaning of earn in this thread. I've started to wond…

Yeah I was more interested in why you haven't saved a baby's life for $4000. Maybe I'm being presumptuous, but even if you don't have $4000 in savings and liquid investments you co…

Why haven't you saved a baby's life?

How many would it be?

Do you have a want to please millions of people whose lives are improved by exactly the product that your company sells? I could certainly do without that, but it does sound nice.

Sadly, I don't believe that many college grads reasonably well educated in anything other than a scientific field understand exponentials.

What's morally indefensible about that?

What AOC is trying to do here is shift the debate from extracting retribution on people who have violated specific laws (a fair and an honest way to enforce justice in a civil soci…

Silly question, but if you don’t look at the code, how do you know if the test is implemented?

Ah yes, OK, I missed the point that the timeout is applied to the entire continuation, not just the part of the computation until the next await. Bluefin can't currently do that. I…

Thanks! This begins to make more sense to me > effects are handled by handlers OK, and in the general case a handler allows its body to "perform" an action, and when the action is …

> Example 2.3 in the paper states that IO is an algebraic effect Oh, I meant what Haskell calls `IO`, which includes the ability to launch threads, use delimited continuation primo…

Ah, thanks, maybe this holds a clue! (Clearly I have been interested in getting to the bottom of this for a while.) So maybe an "algebraic effect" is one that's isomorphic to a fre…

Right, I understand the history (although I'm not sure I'd say that exception don't compose well) and I understand that "algebraic effects" are an attempt at something better. But …

It's my belief that all effects can be done with dependency injection in some form, at least, I'm not familiar with ones that can't. Even arbitrary delimited continuations can be i…

Thanks. It says > Algebraic effects & handlers use a free monad and an interpreter to separate the syntax of effects from their semantics I'm pretty sure not everybody who works with…

Thanks, I definitely feel like I understand monads and their benefits, and even "effects", but I'm not sure what's "algebraic" in "algebraic effects".
