And yet velocity of M2 has decreased sharply.[1] Therefore, hyperinflation seems unlikely unless the real economy unexpectedly recovers rapidly. However, since money is not neutral in the short run[2], we could actually get additional output from the increased money supply. That said, I'm personally skeptical of that claim in this crisis. Additional M2 can have zero effect on output when the law itself has forbidden workers from showing up and producing goods, and in some cases has discouraged them from trying to do so.

Ethics and political are technically peripheral to critical thinking.

One can be an unethical bastard and have the critical thinking to realize something is unsustainable or a scam or be a saint and taken in by utter bullshit (although the bullshit may persuade them to do horrible things believing themselves right).

Engineering deals with nuance certainly - although it is often a more pedantic technical form like say the difference between the stength of wood and steel vs temperature. Steel doesn't readily combust like wood but wood while it chars and burns doesn't weaken like hot steel. You don't need to melt steel beams to collapse a skyscrapper.

Ah apologies for having been unclear. No, not like that - I was thinking about more meta aspects of it:

- shared context (shared biological & cultural heritage)

- recognition & willingness to ascribe intelligence

Basically trying to imply that the general AI problem is of similar nature to the 10x programmer problem - communication & recognition, or lack of thereof.

A 10x programmer makes a hard problem look easy. A general AI makes people around it feel very smart & productive.

Which is also why I prefaced it with, The terrain is not the map - we humans know surprisingly little about our intelligence.

But they are _likely_ to run a fever if they are symptomatic. And between 100% "non-accuracy" of not measuring temperature at all, and some much higher level of accuracy of a non-contact IR thermometer, I pick the latter. I have one BTW, it seems pretty accurate to me (confirmed with a calibrated thermopair, unless you're trying to measure something reflective or transparent).

Protip #3: when all else fails, they will use your IP address to target you.

E.g. I usually use Firefox with NoScript. I frequently exit Firefox; when I do I clear everything using "Clear history when Firefox closes".

When I want to visit a site that requires JavaScript I switch to Safari. I'm just as aggressive in Safari in clearing my history.

Consequently, about the only ads I do see (in Safari) are clothing ads for teenage girls. I have two teenage girls, they have their own computers, so it must be the shared IP address.

So far it hasn't been worth the hassle for me to switch to a new IP address from Comcast more than about once a year. By default my firewall asks for the same IP address and even if it didn't, Comcast will use my firewall's MAC address to give me the same IP address.
Some people can tolerate Vitamin D levels above 50, so I wouldn't set that as an absolute cutoff - a Vitamin D in the 50s is good for many people, but I definitely don't want to see it above 70. Taking a higher dose for a short period of time is completely acceptable, as long as it doesn't become something that you stay on for years. It is really hard, if not impossible, to get toxic levels of Vitamin D solely from the sun or diet. I only see it with people taking supplements. And usually it's not a low dose of supplements. (And actually, many people don't even realize that they are getting high doses of Vitamin D. It is added to a lot of vitamins and supplements - so that supplement you take for hair growth may contain a few thousand units of Vitamin D, for example. I ask everyone to get out all of their supplements and look through for vitamin D.) In general, getting vitamins and minerals from diet is preferable to getting from supplements.

I'd think that the area for the easiest investment in this problem space wouldn't be on the creation of a new terminal emulator (like iTerm2 or the Windows Terminal), but instead as a piece of software running on the remote server, something like tmux. Imagine instead a tmux that could allow multiple users to connect to it simultaneously, and drive different panes at the same time, or view the commands that another user is using in a given pane.

Then, regardless of what terminal emulator you choose, you'd be able to collaborate with your teammates, once you connect to the same server session.

When I think about a "Terminal 2.0", I imagine something more like [this](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/3121). Ideally though, whatever protocol for rich feedback and content embedding wouldn't be tightly coupled between the shell and the Terminal, which I don't believe is something that [UpTerm](https://github.com/railsware/upterm) did well (though correct me if I'm wrong.)
Thanks, this is causing me to re-evaluate my views a bit. I am still skeptical that renewables can replace existing electricity generation without peaker plants because of the large cost of storage in those scenarios, but it may be less of a problem than I thought.
>I've been spending close to a day trying to figure out how to respond to this statement. It's like you're saying [...]

No, it's like I'm saying: Software development is fad driven and shallow. The details change but those details are unimportant and ultimately pointless. Bad metaphors are exactly the type of shallow thinking I'm talking about.

A GUI is not a car, a duck, or a fish. It is a UI. That the web is being used as an interactive GUI is a travesty. Without knowing the history of why it was invented in the first place - extremely high latency and low bandwidth of the 90s internet - you will never understand why mutating it to a full GUI is a terrible idea. And why we should have used any of the dozen well engineered technologies that are not hypertext based but work with the internet (low latency high bandwidth) we have today.

It's gotten to the point where an X server in an Amazon data center and a VNC client on a phone is more responsive than facebook, twitter and reddit on mobile.

>As for "no new ideas in computing since the 70s," are you actually proposing that we go back to building websites like we did in the seventies? Um, sure. Brilliant.

Yes, using TeX would be an infinite improvement over the mess we have today. Imagine having one language for everything in a site, instead of the three (five? with markdown and js frameworks) you need today.
Unpopular opinion:

Programmers like using vim because it feels like solving a puzzle or RTS micro'ing and/or they have already sunk a huge amount of time into it and aren't willing to walk away (which is fine, but it's not evidence that these tools are better.)

Starting fresh (i.e. no experience with an IDE or vi/emacs) there is zero productivity benefit to choosing vi or emacs over a real IDE in this day and age.

Disclaimer: I am a former vi (~5 years) and emacs (~20 years) fanatic.
Define reproducible. I always archive dependencies so I can rebuild, even if that build has some new timestamps in it. Having a rando Github repo go down when you rebuild is not a failure mode I want.
I genuinely don't understand this project.

Use the right tool for the job. I chat using a chat program, and write code using a terminal. Pair programming involves taking turns, not multiple people typing into the same document at the same time.

Beating Terminal for speed might be harder than they realize.

Beating iTerm 2 for functionality might be harder than they realize.

Features neither of them include might be unwanted, but I guess good luck, and I'll wait to see if any actual good ideas comes out of the hackathon?

I suppose it's a gradual slope here, with spell checkers on the one side, a grammar checker a bit further ahead, then Google Doc's autocomplete, and then close to the very end of the slope you have this system that just needs a few sentences and completes the entire essay for you.

One question then is - at which point on the slope does the comment stop being a direct product of your mind? Another question is - in what ways does this distinction matter?
Google’s algorithm is weird when it comes to this.

Gold probably started out as a toy. Humans learned to manipulate metal with gold around 40k years ago. It sparked metallurgy industries (e.g. Bronze Age, Iron Age). They advanced human civilizations. Gold use as money probably predated any written history. It's likely making a comeback after a 30-year recession.

Arguably, that's what this is. The bifurcating timelines are better thought of as n-dimensional space. Describing the location of a piece requires a description of the bifurcations, which won't be a fixed number of numbers but will go up as the game progresses. Integer dimensions don't really cover this.
Well the mathematical way of doing this involves doing a Mod 10 to pull off a digit and then incrementing a number that multiples the mod 10.

Making certain uses of some words a taboo is exactly what's happening. Which, in some cases, just seems arbitrary and not related to a societal problem, let alone its solution. It's a good thing we are becoming more sensitive to these topics, and that they are beginning to get the attention to hopefully bring meaningful change. However, as is the case with any sufficiently big movement, subgroups will form that have their own interpretation of the goal, and some of those will end up being detrimental to the overall cause. For example, the few individuals rioting during the recent protests hurt the entire movement one way or another. This comparison is to be taken with a grain of salt, but my impression has been that the whole debate on certain words is somewhat similar to that, in much lesser form of course. There is language that needs changing. There is also language that I would argue doesn't, and arbitrarily creating artificial sensitivity just dilutes the original, important message.

When I hear the word camp, I don't immediately think of labour camps, the same way I don't think of race when I hear the word blacklist. That's not the case for everyone, so it does need addressing. What it boils down to is the question when and why it was concluded that deprecating those neutral uses was the better solution over deprecating their negative connotations. It mostly just seems counter-intuitive to me for the reason stated in my previous comment.

Funding for archival services is hardly politics.

Commenters anywhere are going to bring up “the good old days” in relation to anything. This is called “being human.”

Your personal conclusion doesn’t fit the facts presented in the article: stuff disappears because it is not maintained. Dead links are such an issue that there are businesses who are paid to watch out for dead links in websites and determine whether the target is actually gone, has moved to a new URL or is just temporarily missing.

Businesses like “Link Alarm” aren’t politics, they are just dealing with reality.

The best thing left on the internet is Wikipedia and archive.org, and they nearly got that with the .ORG takeover attempt which they would take down those sites with excessive fees, cuts and slashes from copyright/corporate attacks veiling the authoritarian aims.

The web was once anti-authoritarian and decentralized, it is now more authoritarian and centralized, and where it isn't authoritarian it is big fish corporate owned.

There is so much propaganda, marketing and astroturfing, even the places set aside for real people have been steamrolled. I don't know what the solution is, it was a nice Wild Wild West of the web from 1992-2012-ish.

Mobile/apps also did a number on the web in terms of viability and longevity. The sites that are successful are locked and walled gardens and highly centralized in moderation. Moderation is also something that has been abused, almost censorship level now, it has created shrouded content contained with moderation moats.

No. The biggest claim of Brave is that all of the information for ad matching is in the browser. So they can not control it. The only thing that Brave can control at the moment is the on-boarding ramps - i.e, if you want to take your BAT out of their wallet and to your own, you need to go through KYC via Uphold.com. But you can pay and contribute BAT to other people even if you haven't done KYC.

Even in this case, the KYC that needs to be done is only with Uphold. After you take out your tokens you are free to spend them however you want and no one will ask you anything.

> I don't believe cryptocurrencies will work

They already do.

> regulated just like other forms of electronic payment, including know your customer rules.

Even in this libertarian nightmare that you are imagining, crypto would more likely help you to keep your data away from businesses and third-parties. If every transaction needs to be authorized and monitored by the government or central authority, then there is no need for the business to collect any information from you - all they would need is to ensure that you are sending your payment from a government-validated address.

Governments don't do that today due to the sheer costs of trying to run such an operation. But tracking things on the blockchain is reasonably easy, so there would be no need for banks and third-parties to do the dirty work for them.
