The reduction labor time leading to a reduction in prices is necessary for the theory. The reason is that the numbers given in your example are arbitrary, there could just as easily be a machine that will produce 30 widgets/day, making costs $16 and revenue $90, for a profit of $74, and a rate of profit of 7.4% per day. But increased mechanization will always cause the rate of profit to lower, and this is because the price of the widgets will drop according to the labor theory of value. So the LTV is still a necessary part for understanding the falling rate of profit
Like others have said, you probably have to do it manually. If the pdf has a lot of pages though, and they're all in a similar format, it might be easier to script it using something like https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber
It's really easy to show this even with a known problem. Ask an LLM to play a game of chess, and then give it 1. h3 as a first move. They always screw up immediately, by making an illegal move. This happens because 1. h3 is hardly ever played, so it isn't part of it's model. In fact, it'll usually play a move that 'normally' responds to h3, like Bh5 for example
So the debts get sold around a whole bunch like a hot potato (for some reason) until it eventually ends up at these 'institutional investors' (who? The federal reserve I guess?), because these 'institutional investors' have to have low risk long duration debts (probably true?). They're the ones who have to pay for the debts because long duration fixed income (which is the same as low risk long duration I guess?) is 'toxic' (even though they're apparently required to have them). They're toxic as (can't tell if 'as' here means because or while?) the federal reserve 'monetizes' the debts (forgive the debts? pay the debt's instead of the debtors? sell the debts to someone?) because the debts are unpayable.
I think he means the government's going to buy the debts then forgive them? Because they'll totally do that, just look at student loans, right?
Sure but we're talking about people who got laid of, they're not getting a salary anyway. Unless starting a business gets rid of unemployment benefits I guess? But you can hold of on officially forming the business until you have some clients. I'm not saying it'd be easy, but I think it's better than being unemployed
Tbf, unless there's some massive capital expense that I'm not thinking about, you don't really need any capital for doing software related work besides a computer, which most people already have anyway and maybe some office space. Software is about as capital lite as an industry can be, so if making a workers co-op under capitalism is going to work in any industry, it would be software.
AlphaPheonix does experimental setups in his garage and goes into a lot of detail about how the experiments are actually done and the difficulties that need to be resolved.
The global south (and the global north) must stop breeding non-human animals for food because it's a barbaric thing to do. What a bizarre comment. People from the global south are not infallible and people from the global north are not always wrong. Do you also think homophobic racists from the global south are beyond criticism? That's ignoring the fact that the country with the most vegans is India, so framing veganism as some kind of western thing is doubly silly.
