This (classic) argument is symmetric with respect to the value of money and quantity of goods. As in "if you know money will buy more in the future, it increases your incentive to sell now rather than wait for higher prices. And if you know prices will increase, you will hoard products." The argument doesn't favour either side.
One mechanism of inflation is that it effectively lowers wages (and other contracts) without negotiation. Asset prices are valued by markets and increase with inflation. It effectively transfers wealth from wage earners to capital owners.
Deflation would effectively increase wages instead, and require occasional renegotiations if productivity isn't keeping pace.
The point of automation is that it reduces the bargaining power of human workers, but they still have to trade their time and effort for wages. When automation improves, the wage proportion of the created value shrinks.
Housebuilding is motivated as much by need for housing as the prospect of increasing market value, "building equity" and so on. This prospect depends most strongly on location, which means the land price dominates the cost of construction.
Not entirely true. AstraZeneca and ABB are examples that remain partly Swedish but many companies were merged into big multinationals and eventually marginalised.
My understanding after scanning the code examples is the technique expands the dimensionality of each data point with a set consisting of the quadratic coefficients of its existing dimensions. I thought it sounded like kernel PCA.
> difficult or impossible in Rust were to me pretty basic patterns for modularity
Many things are plainly not permitted, either because the borrow-checker isn't clever enough, or the pattern is unsafe (without garbage collection and so on).
Many functional/Haskell patterns simply can not be translated directly to Rust.
The reason for exp(x) is that its derivative is exp(x), which makes it possible to express the gradient of s(x) in terms of s(x), or both in terms of exp(x). This simplifies the computation of backward pass.
In ancient times, slaves didn't revolt because they were oppressed by weapons and violence. Instead of paying workers, resources were used to pay and feed the military. Slaves were considered "war bounty" and tradeable goods.
When the incentives of workers favour burning buildings rather than working for wages, the next step is either to use force/control or to rebalance wages.
The point is rather that in a pure language, each io operation needs to be dependent on a sort of "world state" which is updated for each operation. They chose to implement this state as the io monad but there could have been other ways.
Yes, I don't think this matters. Much of "knowledge work" was always a proxy for something else.
High quality in terms of typos and errors is mainly a signal of respect in a similar way to wearing ironed white shirts with neck-ties. "Walls of text" that no one is expected to read in depth. Basically a symbolic demonstration of sacrifice and subservience (or something). LLMs remove this mode of signalling.
If quality of content wasn't examined before, it was probably never particularly important.

Not really. The battery just needs to have a connector rather than soldered, and no other things blocking the battery once the back-case is opened. Realistically, a service shop will do the replacement like how watch-batteries are typically replaced.
They are conditions to be met. It's not enough to proclaim them as "your process" and expect results.
When playing piano, the condition you are measured by is acoustic harmonies in the air, not finger movements. The only reasonable advice is either practice more or give up. If you are tone-deaf, it's not reasonable to expect you will learn to play the piano.
Deepmind was not a viable business at the time Google acquired it. Today, it is probably even less viable. It functions as R&D-lab for Google which has its own products and datacenters.
