I've not tried the tool but, given the main picture on your page, I like the apparent easiness to align text on columns. Structuring notes is where handwriting is difficult to beat so you're on an interesting track.
I haven't used the feature, but the way it's implemented feels overly complicated, especially for something like keyword search (and not similar-image-search).

If they only use the Top10 categories in their feature vector for the documents, why don't they store these categories as tags on each documented and use standard inverted-index searching and scoring. I know the vector will express how much "beach" a certain image is, but your user-supplied query doesn't have a notion of how "much" beach the user expects, so the output can be a simple list ranked using standard term search mechanisms. What am I missing?
There's an important message here: the money expands by that much and inflation is .. 4%?

That shows the limits of a single number. It also shows up the "transmission mechanism" has been damaged; it doesn't affect wages or prices largely because so much effort has been expended over the last 40 years to prevent wages going up at all.
Inflation is still inflation if it is caused by supply issues.
Inflation speeds up in April as consumer prices leap 4.2%, fastest since 2008

Is there a significant difference between a group of people controlling resources that are also following and enforcing laws and the state, except for the number of people that are participating in the enforcement? If you have the ability to carry out or enforce a law, which is maintained by a group of people, you all become the state, and your neighbors/"community members" acting against you effectively becomes state action.

My point is that people who rely on the modern government for most things can be easily convinced that "social ownership of the means of production", as the wikipedia page puts it, is the best economic system to aspire to, because they perceive themselves as already partially there. They experience resources as easily obtained and distributed by a group of people they "elected", and so the mental leap to "let us use this system for everything, and we'll simply participate in the distribution and eventually it'll be socialism" is very easy to make. This leap is not as easy to make for those that actually participate in the production and organization of industry and society.
Do you have any examples or references for real informational hazards for humans? I'd love to read more about that
While the tone of the parent is a bit, well, it could be better :) I do think the parent has a point. For example, I just finished reading Modern Operating Systems by Tanenbaum. His experience shows. This form of experience cannot be showcased by someone who's learning or just has learned a particular technology. And I know I'm taking one of the giants as an example, and they show this particular example in its most extreme form.

With that said, I have read/watched tutorials by people who just learned something and the empathy level to beginners is really high. That's something that can be missing with people who have years and years of experience.

> The only thing worse than having poor AI is having no AI at all

To the contrary, the main thing that wears me out is interacting with AI systems which change from an interaction to another and aren't predictable - text completion on mobile, search results on datasets, order of posts on forums, etc etc. If I use a computer it's because it (used to) be predictable and dumb : I do action A, I get reaction B. With AI systems, if I do action A twice I generally get a different B for whatever unknown reason there is, and that makes me want to throw the device out by the window out of frustration.
> less people having their own untested "PPAs" everywhere

This is not my experience with Nix.

1. My system configuration pulls in a couple of programs in from unstable for my convenience and it was incredibly easy.

2. I don't do any serious 3rd-party packages or package configuration at the system level. Instead, any package configuration (e.g. overrides, Docker images) and 3rd-party packages absent from Nixpkgs - usually pretty easy to write, if not trivial - are defined in the repository where they are required. They are used - and tested - and reproducable to the pinned Nixpkgs in that repository.

It has been incredibly easier than PPAs and Gentoo overlays. Presumably safer too (though this is an incomplete thought).

To be fair the learning curve was medium, and I didn't invest any serious effort. Instead I made progress until frustrated and asked colleagues to help a few times until I grokked it. From the perspective of a simple user, the single system configuration file is a killer feature even if you don't venture any further.
> You’ve to do to them what Apple App Store is doing to them.

What them? The Apple/Google duopoly is fucking everybody. There was a recent post on HN about Panic shutting down its iOS text editor because of AppStore restrictions.

The ad move by Apple is the ultimate example; They shut down third-party tracking, while their own tracking machine continues uninterrupted. Do you think if China requested your data from Apple, they wouldn’t give in silently? Dream on.
I think it does. I'm talking about the people around me at least, but I seem them start spending a lot more. Also, they, that in the crypto world are almost poor are always planning on defeating fiat to prove that cryptocurencies are better, I don't know if whales think the same way, I hope not.

> While Federal Reserve officials and economists acknowledge the temporary boost, it’s unclear whether a more durable pickup in inflationary pressures is underway against a backdrop of soaring commodities costs, trillions of dollars in government economic stimulus and incipient signs of higher labor costs.

I still have issue with the characterization. It's "against the backdrop of ... trillions of dollars" as though increased price levels and increasing the money supply by 25% are unrelated.

Many times these articles write about stimulus and people think its the $1600 checks some people received. But what doesn't get reported is what the lion share of the money actually went to, buying up financial assets from banks.
>I think the general attitude in the article is sickening.

Huh? Did you read both parts? (or the first part even?).

I thought it worked out remarkably well.

Our local small town has cohesive activist mafias, with a lot of overlap in membership, who are happy to make the city council's life hellish and have outsized power. I could write a much more crazy-making substack article.

Somehow I though the cake idiom was similar to that french one: “vouloir le beurre et l’argent du beurre” (to want butter and money for butter) but it seems to differ more than I thought!

It’s about trying to exchange butter for money but thinking you could somehow end up with both, either intentionally by rigging a zero sum game to someone’s detriment, or mistakenly through a leap of flawed logic when one does not realise it’s zero sum, and thinks it can be outgamed with enough swapping around.
I don't trust them either. I should have clarified that, but government seems to always lag behind on security updates for all sorts of devices.
I agree with you but the other issue is the huge amount of pressure corporate concerns have. The regulatory capture game is strong. There are a lot of states that have passed laws that say it is illegal to run municipal broadband because of pressure from Comcast via campaign contributions. Everyone only cares about getting theirs. Very few public servants actually care about serving the public.

Yeah I don't know what to do with the assumption that going to meeting in meetinghouses in what quakers do either. I've been to a lot of quaker meetings and the venue has been pretty evenly split between traditional meeting houses, normal white American protestant-style churches, and like random community centers and shit.

I think this might be different in the historical quaker strongholds like parts of the US east and England, but even having a quaker meeting house to go to is probably not part of the experience of being quaker for most of them. Shit iirc the majority don't even practice the silent worship anymore right?
Arguably it is political. These ransomware attacks are not state-sponsored, but they are state-condoned, like British privateers of the past. They serve to harm the society and way of life of a country Putin sees as a political rival.

Arguably it is violent. The threat in this case, should the ransom not be met, is to release information that will lead to violence.

1 hack can un-secure the data
threatening to shoot a computer doesn't have the same impact

I’m speculating, but feel that your pricing model should be more strictly based on number of rows processed. Not sure why a 100k row limit is imposed on the top tier. I suspect this model would better reflect where your costs are and the customer would have a precise way to estimate costs. I wonder why the pricing model is more complicated than this?
I feel like the added complexity of digital storage just means there are more ways to attack and there's more that can go wrong in general. Physical documents can only exist in one place at any given time and are probably much easier to protect.

Even if we're only talking about 18-29, there have been 2,100 deaths from COVID in that age group in the US already. Even in the most generous interpretation, that means that it would be at least 10 times as dangerous for someone in that age group not to get vaccinated than it would to be vaccinated. The numbers are so blatantly obviously in favor of having everyone vaccinated.

Anyway, I'm done feeding a troll account created today.
If you want to know more about inflation I recommend reading Lyn Aldens recent post on it:

https://www.lynalden.com/inflation/

Inflation is a complicated subject and is not as exact a science as some believe. For instance see this adjustment based on increase in quality:

"Let’s pick the Toyota Camry as a direct comparison to reduce the size/type changes. The starting MSRP for the automatic was $12,258 in 1990. The starting MSRP in 2020 was $24,425. That’s a 100% price increase, almost exactly. That’s about 2.5% per year.

Certainly we can allow for a substantial amount of quality adjustment in the new car CPI calculation. The new Camry has power everything, a navigation system, better safety features, and better gas mileage. But is the quality/size adjustment enough to reduce the actual price appreciation from 100% down to just 22% on a quality-adjusted basis during this three-decade period, as official new car CPI says was the case?"
Fantastic! I do think it needs webrings.
I would argue that much of the money expansion went to asset prices. Just look at the stock market, which is up 30% from PRE-covid levels. If you factor in reduced reduced demand from lockdown measures, then the market increase is even more astonishing. I wrote about the asset price increases before [0]

This is unfortunate since it's essentially helping relatively wealthy asset holders as opposed to those most likely to be affected negatively by covid.

It seems more likely RISC-V will displace ARM on the low-end where margins on things like licencing are the tightest. There are already high performance ARM designs for servers in particular, and that's more applicable to desktops than any RISC-V chip currently available. X86 will give them both a run for their money but it no longer seems completely obvious that everything hefty will still be running on x86 five or ten years from now, for the first time in a couple decades, really.
> Care about our national housing shortage? In nearly every city there exists a small angry mob that works to block every development project, and this job tends to be loudest and angriest about middle to low income housing and apartments.

Somewhat tangential story, but I thought it was interesting in this context.

A former landlord in NYC told me a story where some local community board was required to approve a new 3-story apartment building with some kind of public/community space on the first floor, which was replacing a couple old 2-family homes.

There were two groups in opposition: the "old white men" who own property in the area, and the young DSA board members who stuck to their hard line of "no new development". Apparently the old white men didn't always get their way in the past, but their new coalition with the hipster socialists was enough to block the development.

Said landlord had lived in the area for ~40 years so he was pretty annoyed at the blockage of what he saw as necessary and beneficial development, that (IMO) was also perfectly in-character with the area. Then again, the same landlord was strongly in favor of the Amazon deal in Long Island City.

Axiom: "all politics are local". Theorem: "local politics are more important than you think". Corollary: "if you care about improving other people's lives, get involved in local politics".

Or the 4% number is bullshit and we are in worse shape than the government and an overly sympathetic media would like to admit. Time will tell. Meanwhile if you look at individual commodities, some of them are quietly skyrocketing in price. Copper, steel, lumber, and a number of others.

It's also possible that there's simply a long delay between flooding a struggling economy with cash and seeing the resulting tax on the middle class that we call inflation.

In this case, they plan to transfer user data into another division of their company. They have bought WhatsApp LLC, with cash and shares in hand, and got (among other things) user data in return. This is a pretty clear case of selling user data of such a company, isn't it? (Note that GP never claimed that Facebook itself sold any data just that they exploit data commercially - they have given third parties extensive access to user data in the past though)

Anyway, these discussions on the technicality of the term "selling data" vs "selling access to users using data" is just means to deflect from the real problem. It doesn't get away by rephrasing.
Sure, but it's an absurd example of space not being a particularly critical factor. That thing is a huge factor bigger than the volume of the fuel tanks.
