Det finns förstås inte något universum där det är rimligt att inte informera allmänheten i en liberal demokrati om att en ministers barn är aktiv våldsbejakande extremist.

När avslöjandet dessutom innbär att ministern i fråga (Johan Forssell) uppvisat stor dubbelmoral, blir valet att undanhålla informationen för allmänheten absurt. Det visar dessutom i att vi verkligen inte (längre?) har någon så kallad “vänstermedia” i Sverige.

Try ripgrep instead of grep. Unless you go for index etc.

The Russian asset delivers again.

Detta är förstås en ren lögn: https://omni.se/a/5Ea2eW

Whining about having to pay income taxes by themselves. Could also be that many are self employed.

I don’t think it’s enforced by law. Only federal tax. Maybe different in different states? Anyway, Americans are always whining about it, so I figured it was national/federal.

In theory, it’s not the most economically efficient. We want people to work, and taxing labor decreases the incentive to work. However, there isn’t any viable alternative given the current circumstances. Labor creates all value in society and you can’t easily hide labor off shore (though I guess that’s what happened with globalization and China).

One should understand that income tax should be a tax on the consumption of labor (just as a tariff is a tax paid by the importer/consumer). Right-wing politicians have made the employee pay the income tax (to decrease acceptance of the system), but it should always be the employer that pays the tax.

If we start to call income tax “labor VAT” or something similar, that will probably solve a lot of misunderstandings.

Making the employer pay the tax before the money reach the employee solves quite a lot. I understand that’s not the practice in the US.

What do you guys think about AnySoftKeyboard? Could it be a “sleeping agent”?

Country of origin is Israel according to: https://alternativeto.net/software/anysoftkeyboard/about/

(I know this doesn’t mean anything, but still…)

The main developer seems to live in New York: https://evendanan.net/

He’s probably a good guy. Just got a little suspicious (or curious) when I saw the Israeli flag on AlternativeTo.

Den självklara lösningen: ökad ekonomisk och social trygghet för löntagare.

Lösningen som KD försöker att rationalisera: tvinga människor att föda fler barn via t.ex. reformerad abortlagstiftning och kristen nationalistisk propaganda.

Not same results as DeepL but… You can use any popular online LLM for excellent translation. There are also “small” language models that you can run on your phone (if you havet a reasonable modern/powerful phone that is): https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm

Because the political and economical situation is extreme.

I’ve heard it said that every successful Swedish war campaign begins with the loss of their entire fleet.

Hmm… I can see the thread in mastodon, except for that specific comment. Everything is visible if I visit social.kernel.org in Firefox though.

Everyone knows the Comanches were nothing but peace loving kindness and happy joy.

It might also be interesting to plot complexity/branching over time. Since you mention emergent complexity. Also, one might want to do some intelligent filtering or compression when it comes to branching so that it doesn’t account for too irrelevant moves.

I recall that the client display some complexity number for every game you play. Unfortunately, I don’t have computer access ATM so I’m not able to run the Java app (it’s probably doable on Android, but meh…). I believe most of the worlds abstract strategy games are in the database/library, so you can just check them out.

I also found this: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/284017/estimating-abstract-game-complexity-using-ludii

Any shitty old laptop can self host any git service as long you only have a single or handful of users.

You might find this project interesting: https://ludii.games/

There are some papers related to complexity. https://ludii.games/references.php

And I believe the game engine contains some mechanism to quantify complexity of different game systems.

I’m in tech. LinkedIn has only done damage when it comes to finding a job. It brings a lot of noise into the process. Will never use it again.
