The issues you raise aren't fixed by your proposal. A 5% transaction tax will hurt both the rich and small investors. If you want to tax the rich, raise the cap on the capital gain tax rates for higher income (we already have the NIIT

That's a terrifying idea that would destroy the tech stock market as we know it. We already have incentives in capital gain taxes to encourage longer term ownership. Feel free to send a 5% donation to the government in your taxes every

Is ASML "European" or a "monopoly" under your definition as one can't be both?

The EU can certainly do a lot, with the exception of producing their own major tech companies.

The word "monopoly" is overused. They simply have the best model at the moment but no real monopoly-style moat or ability to crush their competition through monopoly tactics. I don't support their bait-and-switch, but if you

I've heard there's a service called PirateBay that offers movies free of DRM. Maybe people considering being Sony customers in the future should give it a try.

I completely agree. I was just pointing out the current expectations and behavior.

Everybody in our industry loves fat margins. But god forbid if someone else captures the margins and squeeze them out of easy profits.

I don't want to dismiss your limitation, but it's better to create an acommodation for your particular case than to prevent the system from being implemented for everybody else.

Without reliable benchmarks, they are Mythos-like only in the sense that they accept text as input and produce text as output.

Software copyrights are among humanity's worst inventions. We as a species are no better off because of it, and neither are the small creators that copyrights are supposed to protect. Software copyrights only exist to protect a renter

It seems that you don't understand governance in corporate America. For some education, read "Barbarians at the Gate".

Some say that much of modern philosophy is simply wordplay with limited actual content... which is exactly what LLMs are great at.

It is an impression, as you said. If his intellect is so vast (vs just scoring well on the math skill tests), we should have seen some sort of evidence in the things he writes or says. He was called a programming prodigy but we've seen

I've never seen him saying anything particularly smart or insightful. My impression is that he has moderately above average intelligence and entrepreneurship. If he wasn't at the right place at the right time, he would be yet anot

There's really nothing special about the current situation. Throughout history, jobs have been rarely anything close to guaranteed. You save a good deal of cash for emergencies, live below your means, keep your skill set up to date and

Gambling has always been a mechanism for transferring money from the poor to the rich. Platforms like Robin Hood just finished transforming the entirety of the stock market into a casino that preys on the poor (oh the irony about the compan

I just got a Gemini summary of it... While I'll take good writing over AI any day, I'd rather read an AI summary over meandering writing.

I applaud the rejection. People who care about this should simply stop buying games that require server components instead of pricing out people who don't (like my kid). As someone who does care about it, I stopped buying these games m

Another version of this issue is when you push back but you were NOT "right to push back". In other words, the LLM original solution was better than the pushback. Most of the time my pushbacks are true improvements, but I've

This is a detailed study performed by experts. Do you believe they would overlook such obvious explanation? I'm sorry, but your argument sounds like the typical HN oversimplification that leads people to say they could build Dropbox i

This isn't investment advice etc etc but there are many options that can capture large sections of the stock market without being exposed to the tech bubble (assuming there is one). Many people say you should stay invested in the SP500
