I wonder what the wealth redistribution effects are in this scenario. I wonder if you’d achieve a similar effect by cutting 500B of taxes on the middle class, or if a lot of this money gets redistributed down to the low-taxpaying class.

Cloudflare has played a major part in making VPNs suck, by providing a service that actively blacklists VPN IPs and selling companies on integrating the VPN blocker into their services. It's probably true that some VPNs are used for ne

I would argue that command sequences that mutate global state are far more intuitive to humans (food recipes, furniture assembly manuals, the steps to take to fix a flat tire on your bike, etc.) than functions. So it’s not just what we lear

I’m thinking about the “art world”. People who invest in art bet on the artist continuing to put out work, evolve a narrative, grow their brand. The art is important because of who made it. “I own a Matisse”. I don’t see how diffusion model

It could affect commercial artist deeply, like game artists and commercial illustrators making logos and icons and whatnot. But it won't affect studio artists at all. Studio art is not about "the image", it's about the p

Purpose: Commit to something and stick to it. We can easily wallow in a sea of possibility and never commit to anything, because whatever you commit to is at the expense of other things you could have done. So we sit there considering and r

I’m not totally convinced. It seems that sometimes when profits fall across an entire industry, the best thing to do is to operate at the tighter margin instead of firing workers to maintain the previous margin. I concede that might be rare

Although reading and mulling over it, trying to understand what it means within yourself, is a form of practice. It’s a kind of Jnana yoga.

This is kind of a tangent, but driving the J6 conversation toward “sacred democracy” is a red herring that focuses away from the real issue, which is jockeying for power by playing dirty and bending the rules to create unexpected outcomes.

Buddhism and Christianity make it sound like you have to be perfectly clean and disciplined to be “enlightened”, causing feeling of guilt and failure when you stray from the behavioral/moral prescription. Indians like Siddarameshwar an

Yeah I just learned about Vite a few days ago, and Turbopack today. Apparently rollup is used under the hood by Vite, and the plugins and config syntax are compatible, but I couldn't get my rollup config to work with Vite.

The BP oil spill was immeasurably more disastrous than Fukushima. Oil is dangerous to drill and refine and it pollutes like crazy when converted to energy.

By the way, the comments in the "Dropbox thread" are overwhelmingly supporting and positive.

Yeah. It comes off as a playful/tentative term, not a precise one. If a "library" is a collection of read books, an "anti-library" is a collection of unread books.

Btw I’m not an expert but I believe Haskell treats all functions as unary, but they’re translated to N-ary in an optimizing compiler.

I think if you really tried you could make it work but there are a lot of ugly and unique tradeoffs to work through. Something like this could work: foo((lambda x, y: for i in range(x): y += i return y),

The author makes a bunch of tenuous assumptions; that lambda calculus is all about currying; and that the “lambda” keyword brings lambda calculus to Python; that lambda is undesirable because Python doesn’t have nice currying syntax. Anyway

I keep seeing people lamenting something to the tune of "Hey I'm in my 40s, aren't I supposed to be expired? But I'm more relevant than ever." The idea that you're expired at 40 gained hold in the 90s and 00s w
