I think that instead of a wealth tax it makes more sense to change how we tax in relation to the financial instruments the wealthy use.

Capital gains: this should just be income.

Unrealized gains: The argument against wealth taxes are often related to unrealized gains needing to sell blah blah. If you get a loan on your stock value, at that moment the gains should be considered realized and you should be taxed via capital gains (which would be at the level of income tax). Ultra-wealthy use loans against their portfolio to avoid realizing their gains. Make that not possible.

LLMs can't "clean room" so they are just "copies."

No just with BTC you have to worry about your money not being insured, high transaction fees, and when you do lose your wallet the only one you can blame is yourself for being an idiot.

The article is a bit foolish.

Hypothetically California could have done something to prevent the merger. Then they [Paramount] leave California, as threatened, and then complete the merger.

The Federal government is the entity which needs to be the enforcer of antitrust. Otherwise major companies like these WILL pick and and leave the state blocking them. It's a 111 billion deal - this is worth moving states for the parties involved.

Maybe if UnrealLabs were a banana company. But they are a software company. The trademark they have on "Unreal" is for computer software and lists a bunch of domains related to the software development of video games/3d models.

Yes I didn't say this. I'm using it to show how absurd the original claim was.

If that claim were even reasonable in the first place you would have to accept that they were idiots long before by allowing bugs to be introduced in the first place.

How do you "throw away" the bloat when it becomes embedded through the code base? Is GitHub just going to rollback to some commit from 3 years ago?

Commenting just so I can check later what he comes back with.

Simply use a browser plugin (or any other mechanism) that invokes the agent when the "HATCHA" appears.

Number 2 is the thing, right?

Why bother asking? Is a recruiter going to fly out to my high school and see if they can get records? Interview a teacher that still works there?

You also are likely selecting not for high school calculus geniuses, but for people willing to lie. Presumably they ask because there is a more desired answer, so if you want to get a job you should provide the more desirable answer.

+1 to this method. Prior to having a reserved ~6 hour slot of sleep the lack of sleep was getting BAD.

Well they aren't people churning out 40k words :)

I've spent very little time on ao3, but I imagine it's slightly better than RR where seemingly a mark of value is "huge length (word count and chapters)" with weekly updates.

The metro is a much less stressful experience for me with noise cancellation on. Without them the noise in tunnels just makes me anxious. The outside tracks are all fine without them though.

And for walking around - it's the traffic noise that bothers me, not people. Traffic noise can just be so loud along some roads (and at certain times of day) that it makes me not want to walk at all.
