The author concludes that he found no significant negative effects from Norway’s wealth tax reforms. But I think he misses a more important question: Did the reforms contribute to economic growth?
If the economy isn't growing, that is a problem. And if a tax reform fails to improve growth, then the tax only increased government revenue. This might be good thing for goverment, but it bleeds enterpreneurs.
If there is no evidence of a positive contribution to economic growth, I wouldn't call it a successful growth reform.
Then, I think, wealthy people can take more risks. They have enough resources to start over if something does not work. Risk takers have their role in innovations for example.
Training for instruction following, reasoning, reflection, and self-monitoring may have forced models to learn resource allocation: compress the currently useful concepts into a sparse shared workspace instead of keeping all computation equally active.
This is actually interesting observation, what if they add resource allocation constraints in post training, will it force to add more workspaces?
My answer: regulating something:)
I agree on the repo link as well; it was indeed selfish on my side. HN is one of the few places where you can read human content, so let's keep it that way. Lesson completely learned on my side.
Communicating with mods about issues could be a good idea too, but I shall keep it to a minimum. Apparently, they are super busy fighting AI :)
I agree that on pure code they are OK, but I thought maybe I am missing something?
I emailed @dang at hn@ycombinator.com but never heard back. What should I do now? I’m scared to repost because I don’t want to risk a permanent ban.
Claude Code is good, but a lot of the cost is repo discovery: finding files, reading candidates, following imports, etc.
Fabric indexes the repo locally and gives Claude Code the relevant context up front. Nothing goes to HailMary.
Tiny early test on httpx: 58% lower API cost across 2 tasks, both passed tests.
Repo is here if anyone wants to try it or poke holes in it: https://github.com/hailmarylabs/fabric/
No, but most breaches today come from compromised internal accounts that are then used to break everything.
