It's partially unserious, but I want people to think and not just repeat dogma. So, let's extend it one generation. The children who inherited their parents wealth. Why not tax that 100%? They're not working, so how would a 1

What if one person owned all the farms. It would be terrible if a larger scale family farm would go over the estate tax minimum, and would make up 100% of all the farms in the US. Disrupting 100% of farms upon the death of the "farmer&

The laffer curve was used to justify lower taxes in order to maximize government revenues. When you look at an individual, you can imagine that each individual would have an optimal laffer curve. Too high of a tax rate, and people aren&#x27

I have a theory that you're less likely to be sued by Musk if you're quoting his LLM's statements about him.

I've wondered if you could have an array of "firecrackers", each timed very precisely, with perfect spatial knowledge of each, and synchronize their ignition to produce arbitrary shaped pressure waves.

Grok is very defensive of Elon's role in the current Ebola outbreak. However if you push on Elon impacting Ebola monitoring, it will eventually admit that Elon's DOGE cancelled "some" Ebola prevention efforts very briefl

When I attempt to get a drivers lic, I'm required to have 20/40 vision in at least one eye. That 2 arc minute resolution. In theory I can turn my head and use my mirrors such that I can see almost 360 degrees around. This suggest

At the ASU graduation ceremony this weekend, the dean asked all the international students to stand. Almost all stood up. Appeared to be 95%. Almost all Indian. I suspect the reason they're at US universities is to get access to OPT. T

I'm sorry you don't see your arrangement as parasitic to society. And I apologize for being the first person to point it out to you.

It's the same thing I have against government employee unions. I, as a consumer, don't have an option to select a flight without unionized pilots. Every additional dollar a pilot earns in wages is another dollar that comes out of

None of my earnings are inflated. My wage is set by the market, not by a group of people threatening to paralyze the economy. Every pilot I've spoken to is against school teachers unions and yet doesn't realize that pilots are jus

How much of this is related to the pilots union? It seems like they capture all excess profit in the system during the good times, and fight vigorously to keep their inflated earnings even during the bad times.

Besides for myself and wife, I've also used LLMs to diagnose my dogs. Convinced there's a huge opportunity for AI based veterinary, especially one which then performs bidding across the local veterinary clinics to perform the care

I've been building a similar piece of software but with vibe coding. It's to the point that I'm using gauge blocks to measure the precise scoring ring dimensions and then using various warping techniques to get the photo to m

If I searched through common crawl, and found all references to Tiananmen Square, and used that corpus to fine tune these open models, would it change the results? I assumed these models were responding this way because the original trainin

I don't understand why Trump doesn't simply mine the strait of Hormuz, and make a simple statement - "no ships get through unless all ships get through". Sure, it would disrupt the world oil supply, but seems hard for Ir

“Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and wh

I may have had the same. Wasn't impressed. But I'm rough on my electronics and it lasted less than 6 months.

Let's say that you knew the data center was only used for commercial reasons, but your goal was to crippled the enemy's economy. Would that be a war crime? But interesting point about the LLM's perspective.

I was asking some of the LLMs about this a few months ago, and they told me that it was a war crime, violating the Geneva convention. Wondering why that hasn't been brought up, or are the LLMs wrong about this?

When there was an over buildout of fiber back in the dotcom boom, how did that turn out? Who were the winners and losers? At what timeline did new winners emerge from that bubble?

I want this for two reasons - Solidworks - the non cloud version, doesn't run on my MacBook. I don't want to have two full sized computers. Steam - again, too many games don't run on Macs. I'd also go for a single click

I doubt it's the laptops. The problem is they removed the physical books. I have a hard time teaching my kids using their laptops. Before, you could just crack open their textbooks and follow along.

This is IBMs moat. The entire reason corporations don't move off the mainframe is due to the cost and complexity of migrating the old code, oh, and the reliability of the mainframe. There are many architectures which can be made more r
