I think GP's point is that wiz's valuation makes even less sense.

It sounds like you're saying exactly what TFA says? Bit odd to criticize an NYT article (and without linking) as a comment on an article that does get into these details?

Well, a few days ago there was a post about the Unison language, where code is stored in AST form and text is just a representation.

I think it's bad to stack bars in a graph, because it means you can't properly gauge the second layer (for example, the remote jobs quantity, at the beginning of the results section). Better to have two bars side by side (for each timestamp), one for remote, and another for not remote.

I'm reminded of this response to the question "Is materialism essential to scientific progress?" <https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/110019>.

Based on

> It's like having a full-time integration team at 1/3 the cost

It definitely sounds like they intend to charge a nice amount of money.

Because it's officially "open" AI?

(i didn't watch the video but) The method section in the wiki page says

> 3. Stopping when reaching "Philosophy", or a page with no links, or when a loop occurs[4]

So, philosophy is explicitly chosen by the method as the "positive" occurrence vs its absence. If this is not the case, then wiki is doing a bad job explaining I think.

If the chosen stopping point was some other category, would the percentage be lower? Or is this merely a phenomenon that you can eventually reach any category by repeatedly clicking on the first link?

Additionally, the possibility of consequences (including those created and enforced by human beings, formal or otherwise) are also factors in the "deterministic" action of an individual, so for the benefit of society (assuming there are outcomes that society can improve via expectations and consequences) then it makes perfect sense for there to be consequences.

Bottom line though, whether the system is deterministic or not doesn't affect our experience of it.

It's possible to just memorize the words, of course. But for myself, I find that very tedious and difficult to make myself do (nor very worthwhile), and much prefer becoming deeply acquainted with the text in order to memorize it.

Okay, so they're regulating AI. What's most noteworthy to me is how applicability appears completely arbitrary and sounds like it could even be set after the fact by virtue of the jury instructions allowed.

Some domains do require regulations updates do to changes in the field, in which case it may make sense to have a commission (sorta like they're doing here), but based on this post, they basically just gave a carte blanche to disallow everything (while not directly stating that nothing is allowed).

> Deductive reasoning is the process of drawing valid inferences. An inference is valid if its conclusion follows logically from its premises, meaning that it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false.

So the thing that stands out in the article, is that cloudflare's initial communications (and the final communications, when they moved to ban) implied issues with their behavior (trust and safety team, terms of service violations), but in between it sounds like the didn't talk about ToS at all, just sales team asking them to buy enterprise. Though it's possible OP is omitting some explanation given by as why enterprise plan would alleviate ToS issues.

Yes, but there's recently been an antitrust case filed against Apple for the lock in strategy.

That actually fits well with the origin of the words (as described in the article). And it makes sense because engine is sometimes used metaphorically (?) (as you note), while motor is not.

No, it's about a party's right to demand a jury trial.

You don't ever eat salads that have avocado in them?

It refers to a document (or documents?) making the case why someone (themselves) should be promoted.

Thanks.

> we’re talking a mere 19 to 30 nanoseconds to get the time elapsed since a reference date and compare it to a threshold.

The table shows 19 or 30 milliseconds for Date / NSDate. Or am I misunderstanding something?

By that logic, price fixing is okay, because you yourself don't have the power to price fix, you need to coordinate with others to do so!

The fact that they spend money in order to abuse market power, rather than already having all of that market power (without paying another party) and misusing it shouldn't be relevant.

I understand why it would increase the cost versus when interest rates are low, but I don't see why high interest rates should cause continuing inflation?

> For example, the justification for nuking Nagasaki was "well, there's a factory nearby, so that's a valid military target".

Erm, what? The justification for nuking nagasaki was that demonstrating overwhelming might would swiftly end the war (it did) while continuing conventional war would cause many more casualties over time.

Maybe you mean to say that because a lot of ships, bombs and military equipment were made there (though it wasn't merely "a factory nearby") they dropped the bomb there rather than somewhere else.

Future cash flows is usually pretty strongly related to the current state of things, but adjusted based on expectations of how it will play out in the future.

I don't know about the FDNY in particular, but lots of agencies beyond FBI / police have jurisdiction to arrest people.

To be clear, that would mean that all stocks would be perfectly priced based on available information. But available information presumably includes uncertainties, and some companies will do better or worse than expected. It would mean that there'd be no gain in purchasing one company over another, or that there's no "cheap deals", but it wouldn't mean that money in the market wouldn't grow, nor change the fact that the S&P is likely your best option.

It might be that's all you meant by the above, in which this is merely an elaboration.

> That said I find my effectiveness at decision making deteriorates, so it would only be good for tasks where the right path is obvious. For important complex decisions I think I am still better off well rested.

My experience is the same. Sadly it's not just specific decision making, but all the important parts of my life depend on me having good executive function or they might happen even if I know the way forward.

I think the point was about the wasting, not the loan (for which the GP helpfully provided a link).

Antitrust has almost never been applied to big tech, in part because antitrust enforcement in general is only given lip service for many decades. This environment means it's also very difficult for antitrust enforcers to win even if they wanted to. This has been changing recently though. https://www.thebignewsletter.com is a great resource on these things.
