41,792,701 | comment | ColinWright | 2024-10-09T21:13:26 | null | But there is another way to think of the high-dimensional balls where "spikey" is the right visualisation.<p>Consider the volume of a cap. Take a plane that is 90% of the distance from the centre to the edge, and look at what percentage of the volume is "outside" that plane. When the dimension is high, that volume is negligible.<p>And when the dimension is really high you can get quite close to the centre, and still the volume you cut off is very small. In our 3D world the closest thing that has this property is a spike. You can cut off quite close to the centre, and the volume excised is small.<p>The sense in which a high-dimensional ball is <i>not</i> a spikey thing is in the symmetry, and the smoothness.<p>So when you want to develop an intuition for a high dimensional ball you need to think of it as simultaneously symmetrical, smooth, and spikey.<p>Then think of another five impossible things, and you can have breakfast. | null | null | 41,790,891 | 41,789,242 | null | [

41,792,705 | comment | AnthonyMouse | 2024-10-09T21:14:02 | null | The actual problem is that "regulations are bad" has become a decent heuristic, because such a high proportion of the existing and proposed regulations are a result of regulatory capture. Your objection seems to be that you want to call this "bad governance" instead of "bad regulations" but it's not clear how that's even supposed to be different.<p>The number of people who think that all regulations are bad is limited to a handful of actual anarchists with no real power and a presumably larger number of rules pedants who want to play different definitional games where they use "regulations" to refer to the things they don't like and call the things that they do like "laws" or "rights" or some other allegedly distinct thing where the distinguishing criteria is doing all the work.<p>Of course, getting people to spend all day arguing about terms is to the advantage of the people who like the status quo, because then they can get the people who claim regulation is generally good to pass their regulatory capture rules and get the people who claim regulation is generally bad to repeal or fail to enforce the e.g. antitrust rules intended to protect people from their predatory behavior. But then you're just playing into their game -- the Certificate of Need laws etc. are of the first category. | null | null | 41,759,196 | 41,750,253 | null | null | null | null |

Trying to run Mastodon on Ruby by simply using the latest version of the required Ruby components hasn't worked for me, ever.<p>The idea that we'd need to keep a snapshot of modules from a specific date in order to run certain software is ridiculous, and the idea of running it in a container like Docker is just giving in to bad practices. Too often it means things are too fragile to update when there are security issues.<p>I haven't seen this happen with Elixir. What do they do better / differently from Ruby that updating doesn't cause the house of cards to come crashing down? | null | null | 41,792,304 | 41,792,304 | null | [

Just very different social values to Western orgs. Incredibly hierarchical with no value given to autonomy or independence.

The school doors are locked until 8:39am and there are zombies and werewolves patrolling outside making entering the building early, or waiting outside physically impossible?<p>What the hell does "physically possible" have to do with anything? Did you ever go to school? The doors may not be locked, but unless the school has some kind of <i>defined pre-care program</i>, they're not ready to take care of random kids dropping in early. That's why they have a start time.<p>My kids' school has a <i>20 minute</i> drop off window. They have an pre-care option, but you have to sign up for it (and pay) because they have to juggle staffing levels. You can't just physically dump your kid outside the door and leave because you'd like to.<p>This may be easier for you understand: A store opens at 9AM, but you're available at 8AM and have to be in the office at 9AM. Can you just drop in at 8AM to get your shopping done? No, if the employees are even there, they're busy with "getting ready for the day" tasks.

Organisms are evolved to survive, reproduce their forms and structures in time, and be in a certain allostatic equilibrium state, and that gives them a certain purpose and that simulations lack.

Yes, technically emails can be delayed, but ... why? There was no urgency in those discussions.<p>2. Hal preferred to write C and was still writing C up until the moment he sadly passed away. Satoshi wrote in modern(ish) C++. Note that the same problem applies for Len Sassaman and basically everyone who has been fingered as a possible Satoshi. The combination of C++, Win32 and cryptography is not very common in the cypherpunk space.<p>3. Hal was a professional cryptographer who worked on an encrypted messaging product (PGP). Satoshi had some fairly basic misunderstandings about cryptography, like believing that you can't use elliptic curve keys to encrypt messages, and referenced having to do research to understand the cryptography he needed. Why would Hal pretend to be a newbie at cryptography, up to and including not having features Satoshi said he wanted?<p>4. Hal <i>did</i> try to create digital cash already, but tried to build it on trusted computing hardware. He had a long term interest in that approach, as did I, and his last project before his death was one I suggested related to this tech. In fact there are emails between me and Hal in list archives pre-Bitcoin where we swap notes on Intel LaGrande. If Hal had been Satoshi it seems likely that Satoshi would have at least commented on the ways TC could be used at some point, but Satoshi never showed any awareness the tech exists.<p>6. If you're trying to be anonymous, why would you immediately and pointlessly reveal your identity by messaging yourself?<p>7. He denied that he was Satoshi. | null | null | 41,783,851 | 41,783,503 | null | [

41,792,764 | comment | zuhayeer | 2024-10-09T21:19:12 | null | This is a great point, and something we plan to address. We currently use Nielsen's DMA (Designated Market Area) mappings within the US to separate out regional areas which was used for TV / media market surveys. We happen to use DMA categories for our regional pages on Levels.fyi which is why it was easiest to start with since we already had this data captured. The features can sometimes be a bit off and seem like they're grouped very far and wide (you'll notice there's a bit of Denver within Nevada and its just a vestige of how it used to be categorized), but it still provides a bit of a broader level grouping than something like zip code. We've also been considering using Combined Statistical Areas using population instead, but the benefit with DMAs is that it offers full coverage of the entire US whereas some major tech hubs are still missing from CSAs if relying solely on population.<p>We're planning to create some of our own regional definitions and borders using our own submissions and that should offer some more tighter bounds. This was just a v1, and I think its already resonating with folks.<p>GeoJSON data for the map borders: <a href="https://github.com/PublicaMundi/MappingAPI/blob/master/data/geojson/us-states.json">https://github.com/PublicaMundi/MappingAPI/blob/master/data/...</a><p>Nielsen DMA regions: <a href="https://blocks.roadtolarissa.com/simzou/6459889" rel="nofollow">https://blocks.roadtolarissa.com/simzou/6459889</a> | null | null | 41,792,305 | 41,792,055 | null | [

Writing everything short of scripts in it?<p>Now people write applications in a modern programming language with modern affordances.

41,792,771 | comment | kbolino | 2024-10-09T21:19:49 | null | C++ is no excuse; it has value types and operator overloading. You can write your own types and define your own behavior, or use those already provided by others. Even if you insist on using raw ints (or just want a safety net), there's compiler flags to define that undefined behavior.<p>Putting everything into floats as integers defeats the purpose of using floats. Obviously you will want some fractions at some point and then you will have to deal with that issue, and the denominator of those fractions being a power of 2 and not a power of 10. Approximation is good enough for some things, but not others. Accounts and ledgers are definitely in the latter category, even if lots of other financial math isn't.<p>You need always be mindful of your operating precision and scale. Even double-precision floats have finite precision, though this won't be a huge issue until you've compounded the results of many operations. If you use fixed-point and have different denominators all over the place, then it's probably time to break out rational numbers or use the type system to your advantage. You will know the precision and scale of types called BasisPoints or PartsPerMillion or Fixed6 because it's in the name and is automatically handled as part of the operations between types. | null | null | 41,792,134 | 41,784,591 | null | null | null | null |

</code></pre>
I feel like this would help readability when the compound statement is very large. | null | null | 41,785,763 | 41,758,371 | null | null | null | null |

41,792,781 | comment | mindslight | 2024-10-09T21:20:37 | null | First, a disclaimer that shouldn't even need to be said, but the legal regime being what it is - I'm not an accountant nor an attorney, but rather an just engineer that digs into the specific details of things rather than paying professionals to screw it up for me. So there is no warranty or representation for anything I'm saying, and it's merely meant as starting pointers for your own independent analysis. Being a Random Internet Commenter, perhaps I'm even purposely giving out bad advice because I want people to end up paying more taxes to the government.<p>In your scenario, the Estate Tax would be calculated on $9B. The executor/per.rep of your estate would then have $10B shares with a $1B loan against them. The basis of the shares would be their current value, so if they (or your heir(s)) sold $1B shares to pay off the loan there would be no capital gains tax. There would also be no capital gains tax if they sold the other $9B shares (but Estate Tax was paid on them instead). Of course, they might have to sell some of the $9B shares to pay the estate tax bill.<p>Where things get really interesting is the charitable contribution deduction. If you sell $1B in shares and donate $9B to a nonprofit (likely set up and controlled by you, and subsequently your heirs), then you get a $9B deduction on your taxes (wiping out the capital gains on the $1B). Then no estate tax, since they're not yours when you die. From what I understand it's also a great asset protection strategy against random creditors.<p>When we're talking billions and minimizing estate tax, the latter dodge is more applicable since it's going to awfully hard to actually spend down billions. The loan plus stepped up basis dynamic is more about dodging capital gains taxes while actually realizing and spending the gains while you're alive, which isn't really captured by your scenario. | null | null | 41,792,147 | 41,780,569 | null | [

Mossad understands perfectly well that Hezbollah is a "horizontal" organization, widely permeated in Lebanese society. And though the pagers themselves seem to have wound up in mostly in the intended hands, Mossad knew also that, at the time of their detonation, they would be located would be be wherever the operatives were: in homes, taxis, grocery stores, cafes, hospitals, on street corners, and apparently (per news reports) at at least one funeral.<p>That's how we ended up with a large if not yet precisely known proportion of civilian deaths and maimings (the latter category being vastly larger of course -- including a staggering 300 cases of persons losing one or both eyes).
Unfortunately we're still lacking in reliable reports, as world attention has moved onto other atrocities. But according to the Lebanese Health Ministry the deaths included 2 children and 4 health workers (one Hezbollah-affiliated), among some 42 total. From this it seems reasonable to extrapolate a "non-affiliated" ratio of at least 20 percent, likely higher.<p>None of which would have been accidental from Mossad's point of view. If anything, we can be entirely sure these numbers (and the fact that they would surely include children), along with all the horrifying scenes reported in hospital rooms in the immediate aftermath, are in close agreement with the thoughtful, meticulous predictions they made when they decided to sit down and press the buttons for these attacks.<p>Finally:<p><i>I don't believe anyone can name a more targeted military operation.</i><p>This is just silly of course, as every large war (including the current one in Ukraine) includes countless incidents of military installations being precisely targeted with 100+ entirely military KIA, and so forth. | null | null | 41,789,061 | 41,783,867 | null | [

41,792,797 | comment | s1artibartfast | 2024-10-09T21:21:55 | null | I think that's exactly the point I was getting it. Who decides what efficient is, and what do they measure. You might care about vision algorithms, and I might care about hamburgers.<p>From the economics perspective, something being Monopoly doesn't mean it's inefficient.<p>Depending on the situation, they can be far more efficient then diverse companies, or much less | null | null | 41,792,491 | 41,784,287 | null | [
