a non-peer-reviewed preprint with an high schooler as the first author is the best citation you can come up with?

at this point I'm just confused whether you are talking about north korea or the us

And who is the kingmaker behind those three?

Look him up and his connections to Opus Dei.

I'm pretty sure no Marxist considers Piketty a fellow Marxist, he's much closer to social democracy and Keynes. Piketty advocates for market economy and a global capital tax, Marxists on the other hand advocate for the violent overthrowing of capitalism and collective ownership of the means of production. Can you spot the difference?

500 TB/25 GB = 20.000

if some have more than one layer it could fewer but that's the order of magnitude

Sweden is one of the countries with the lowest salary inequality in the world. In Eastern Europe 100k a year puts you at what 10x minimum wage? I think that would be considered a pretty high salary in France or Spain as well. I think your friend reaction is warranted, but I don't think it would happen often in Sweden...

I'm curious: I do cycle in jeans and a t-shirt while in the city. Up to 45 minutes I'm perfectly fine, but if I'm on the saddle for over one hour I really start to miss the chamois. What's your experience with that?

'war'

anytime a person in power feels like assassinating a leader or taking out a dissident

I don't really see much of a difference nowadays

Right, it says exclusive rights, which does not translate to "we siphon everything and you get a tiny percentage of our profits", it means I can choose to say no to all of this. To me the matter of compensation and that of authorship rights are mostly orthogonal.

What have Governments ever created except for laws that stifle innovation/progress every single time?

In all seriousness without the government you would have no innovation and progress, because it's the public school system, functioning roads, research grants a stable and lawful society that allow you to do any kind of innovation.

Apart from that, you have answered to a strawman. I said redistribute, not give to the government. I explicitly worded things that way because I don't think we should not be having a discussion on policy.

I think we are moving to an economy where the share of profits taken by capital becomes much larger than the one take from labor. If that happens then laborers will have very little discretionary income to fuel consumption and even capitalists will end up suffering. We can choose to redistribute now or wait for it to happen naturally, however that usually happens in a much more violent way, be it hyperinflation, famine, war or revolution.

Why settle on some private agreement between creators and ai companies where a tiny percentage is shared, let's just tax the hell out of AI companies and redistribute.

The 'long' code for checking apples is shorter, but it's missing the external for loop. So I guess you could say it's not (ahem) an apples to apples comparison.

I do wonder if throwing a similar amount of computational power behind old school rule based algorithms like the ones in Mathematica's FullSimplify would have yielded similar results.

add some error correcting codes and you have invented some sort of qr code

To be fair it is January, so your crispy water has to be grown in a heated greenhouse.

I would really like to know some stats about the Voronoi cells, like average size, largest and smallest...

At some point a few years ago I didn't want to get a mac with the crappy keyboard so I bought a Thinkpad, I think it was a t480s or something of that era. The speakers were so bad it was impossible to understand the dialogue while watching a movie in a decently quiet room with some city noises in the background.

There was an interesting plot I saw somewhere reversing the old thing about Halloween being the deadliest day for kids by dividing the number of dead kids by the number of kids on the street on a given day. It turns out that Halloween ends up being by far the safest day per capita.

And ricotta, how can you forget ricotta!

The problem lies squarely in the fact that some fundamental thing is getting contracted out to some company.

Usually the medical part of it all is strictly worse in the private sector (at least in my country) because the public system has a pretty strict competitive exam to get in, whereas profit driven private companies hire the cheapest doctor they can get.

Not everybody realizes that and they often fall for the single room in the hospital.

Shorter waiting times is definitely a thing though, especially for non life threatening conditions.

I've always wondered what the market rate for parking would be if you allowed for things other than parking like restaurant tables, a shed, a tiny skyscraper...

just be paid on the individual side by capital gains

When you are rich enough you can just borrow using your wealth as collateral and never incur in capital gains.

Of course, for example me, the person you are replying to. I am an LLM vegan.

Because they are given a sweetheart deal to attract them to that specific area. And that deal happens behind closed doors.

You are not taking into account the fact that data centers tend to be pretty concentrated geographically.

If I live in an area that is trying to attract data centers by giving them sweetheart deals, my electricity bill is going to go up by more than my share in inference usage since those data centers will be used by people all over the globe.

The point is not whether or not it makes sense. The point is that it is fairly natural for a capitalist system to have r>g and that causes concentration of wealth. If you look historically the increasing concentration of wealth only really gets reversed by wars or revolutions. So what Piketty is arguing for is a more gentle way of redistributing wealth, because typically when one gets to 1914 levels of inequality, well… we know what happens.

Yeah, pretty much this. But the law in Italy defines cheese as something made directly from milk, whereas ricotta is made mostly from whey (you can add some milk, but it's secondary).

Similarly things like mascarpone and yogurt which are not fermented using rennet can't be called cheese.

Regarding the type of whey used to make ricotta it can come from any cheese. In central Italy sheep ricotta is more prized than cow, but you can easily find buffalo and goat ricotta as well.

Company selling AI Reviews says its AI Review of AI Reviews concluded AI reviews are great! In other news water is wet (as assessed by more water).
