If someone lost $20B in 2 days, what did they have to begin with? Probably not a "real" $20B.

We really need to stop mixing up our stock and flows, and putting dollar amounts derived from the latter to the former in ways that make no sense.

When I worked at a hospital there would be a phishing attempt like this to emails like once a month. Luckily IT was set up pretty well to expect these events so nothing major happened. I'm sure orgs are constantly being phished.

Well maybe, I wonder about the cost efficiencies of multiple fuel cells in modules (usually they're pretty expensive because of the use of costly metals like palladium/platinum). Moving the cell out of the module obviously makes for a dedicated battery truck or dedicated hydrogen truck, but modular automatic liquid fuel let alone hydrogen links I would imagine is hard to keep reliable vs an electrical interface.

Curious, do you use typespecs and dialyzer? If so, how do you find it?

Elixir checks pretty much every box I'd want in a language, but after dealing with nil in Ruby for years and having fun with TypeScript... I'm feeling more drawn to working with type systems.
> Yes, 4.2% is high inflation, but it has been lower then target for years now, so you might consider this "reflation"

That’s not really an argument that it factually is transitory, and I don’t think there is any real good reason to think “catch-up” inflation is any better than the regular kind.

(OTOH, the context of the COVID rebound is a strong reason to think it is likely transitory.)

You make some good points, but the tone towards the op is a little bit more unpleasant than I think you intended
Something similar happened with the macbooks a few months ago. Apple changed something in one of their services which made it impossible to open non-Apple applications and made the entire computer grind to an halt. After thirty minutes everything just started to work again for no apparent reason. Turns out that their service for validating application certificates went down for some time.

Not sure if it’s related at all, but it’s still sad to see that our devices have become so dependent on phoning home that they can become unusable when the home is not picking up or answering incorrectly.

Exactly, it's not societies duty to adapt to you, and some societies are more beholden to principles surrounding liberty; there are plenty of other more authoritarian societies available for those who want more restrictions.

And the 100 vs 1 argument is very poorly thought out; we have just had a year of people shut in their homes for the sake of the few who were at risk. For the argument to suddenly swing on its axis, it would strongly suggest an authoritarian thrilled at the opportunity to exercise their will on others.
I recall a mechanism like this used to deliver email in rural India. There were basically email “kiosks” which would let you receive and send mail for a fee and would store these messages locally until a truck with the company’s transponder stopped at the village, at which point it would send the data to the truck which would upload the data to the Internet when it reached the city. Obviously obviated by mobile data.
Ask HN: Do you consider Standard.js a real standard?
I have always striven to insulate decoration (CSS) from functionality (JS). Now the two have blended and we end up with madness like:

For me the most unrealistic part of the GTA renders was the trees, and the post processing significantly improved that. Blur is also an important part of real photos, it's unusual for everything to be in perfect focus.

I would argue that these kinds of renders are getting good enough that we should be more precise about what is meant by photorealism. Most pictures i take with my phone have alot of blur, don't capture colors well, and are frankly quite crappy. I feel like people expect photorealism to be equivalent to a really well-planned photo by a professional.

I don't blame them, considering how damn hard it is to center something with CSS. With a canvas you just tell it where to display it and to hell with CSS.

The problem with the usual more money = more inflation argument is that you would have to restrict yourself to a certain subset of the monetary supply that is relevant to inflation but everyone wants to talk about the broadest definition of monetary supply that also encompasses a subset that is completely irrelevant to inflation.
I studied applied economics in college. It's actually how I got into professional programming, due to coding for simulations as part of my major.

It is way, way too early, based on my experience, to make any formal claims about why a given number is X instead of Y based on Z theory.

People who are claiming there is going to be runaway inflation don't have enough data to suggest this, and your assertion is equally lacking in data to justify it.

As always, economics gets contaminated by political biases, because so many prominent economists, including a hero of mine in college, Paul Krugman, have followed the profitable path of becoming full time political hacks. Likewise for Lafferty on the right and many others.

Inflationary pressures typically, in historical terms and yes, in the simulations I used to model, have a lag and then start to build upon each other. We haven't had nearly enough time to properly assess any of this.

Rest assured, if/when it does manifest, each side will have very firm talking points blaming the other, informing their sycophants exactly how to talk out of their rear ends about how it's the other team, and how their policies would have prevented it.
I'm pretty skeptical you could get approval to do daily launch service anywhere near most major cities.

Especially in a world where super sonic passenger aircraft are flying.

If Starship does suborbital passenger service, I expect it will be limited to a handful of routes.
Ask HN: How much credit do you take for your accomplishments?
Something I've been struggling with recently is knowing how much credit I should be taking for my accomplishments.

I would consider myself very successful by the measures that are important to me: great at my job, in a happy marriage, couple years away from financial independence... but I feel as though I can't take credit for these kinds of things, because I grew up a white male in a middle-class family.

I understand that there is not a direct correlation between hard work and success for most people. I had the good fortune to grow up in an environment that afforded me the opportunity to convert almost all of my hard work into success.

HN, how much credit do you allow yourself, knowing that it takes both hard work AND luck in order to achieve success?

Do you take credit for (and pride in) the hard work you put in, but not the result? Do you take pride in the results, knowing that maybe somebody who worked harder than you is not enjoying them?

Where do you draw the line?
There are many psilocybin-containing species in the old world. P. semilanceata is a very common one for example, it grows all over the place in Europe.

Why there isn't more of a tradition in Europe in recent history I have no idea, but there is archaeological evidence pointing towards at least some use in Europe in prehistoric times.

Your paper compares psychedelic drugs with tobacco. While yes, tobacco is addictive, it's hardly in any way comparable to peyote or psilocybin mushrooms. The reason psychedelic drugs from the new world didn't catch on was the same reason they weren't eaten back home in the first place: Cultural reasons and political suppression. The church was opposed to it. These European cultures were quite repressive when you look at it from the lens of many native American cultures. Not a conductive environment for smooth trips, anyone who has experience with psychedelics will know this. The Mexican and Peruvian Inquisition were a thing. They burned most Maya texts and killed many of the native people. They tried to eradicate the cultures. It was a genocide, and experimenting with psychedelic drugs for spiritual enlightenment wasn't very useful at the time for the same reason it wasn't very popular among people in Nazi Germany. Smoking is different. If anything it takes the edge off while you're out looting and raping. Had they promoted psilocybin and mescaline usage, many of the conquistadors would have soon questioned their life choices and why they were being such massive dicks. They would have laid down their weapons.

Inflation is pretty much always a supply issue.
We can start by thinking of software as the tool, rather than the product. We tend to pride ourselves on the software we create, rather than priding ourselves on the problem we have solved. We have pushed the concept of tool down.

So, what I mean is this, we think of jQuery as the tool and the website as the product. Or Angular as the tool. Insert library.

This keeps us in a hamster wheel of learning to use tools to build products, rather than building products to solve problems.

The software is not the goal. The solution is the goal.

I see this as a human issue in lots of fields. Carpenters love to debate dewalt vs makita vs milwaukee, but it's the thing built with the tool that matters, not the tool.

Imagine carpenters striving to learn how to use different brands of circular saw. We debate angular vs react vs jquery. Why do we care about that?

Because that is about us rather than the product. I know jQuery. I know angular. Angular is better than react, therefore I am better than you.

That is the opposite of humility. That is arrogance. We are stuck in a loop of solving the problem of solving problems. We need to get to the next level.

I see it now with Canvas vs DOM.
This is the endgame of putting JS/programmability (rather than just markup) in browsers at all. HTML and CSS are great for formatting documents. But, in spite of years of jQueries, Angulars, Reacts, Vues, and 10M other frameworks being implemented, HTML+CSS+JS is frankly awful for developing applications. Business needs have made us push them to be okay for enough form entry to collect credit card numbers and do billing stuff, but even then every step forward comes with a few steps back.

An optimistic take is that this should mean we get better web apps and less JS garbage on web pages where we just want to read something and there’s no justification for having code execute when you visit the document. That’s the intent of WebAssembly and it makes sense.

The reality is that the NYTs of the world will continue to put JS garbage all over pages that have no business executing any code. But WebAssembly doesn’t really have any bearing on that. It offers the opportunity to make things better. The organizations who seek to profit off the web and make it worse for the rest of us will still do so, with or without WebAssembly.
I agree about the vocal people being the ones that influence the conversation. I hope there can be some way to fix this problem. I’ve been reading Hacker News avidly since close to when it started, and I comment occasionally when I feel like I have something unusual to offer. But mostly I don’t influence the site even though I’ve spent multiple thousands of hours here, and I wish that could be better somehow.
Tokyo and Singapore come to mind - it requires proper incentives to be in place.

In the novel Permutation City by Greg Egan, people deal with this by editing their memory every once in a while so that every experience feels fresh. One guy even edits his personality so he becomes obsessed with something for a random amount of time and then abruptly loses interest.

Most of the exotic and rare instructions are data that a linear disassembler plows through without knowing any better.

3dnow and via extensions aren't actually emitted for common binaries, even if objdump claims they are there.

Validating my own disassembler against objdumps output showed a lot of these outliers.

A recursive disassembler is better at only attempting to disassemble code that actually appears in the code path, although then it misses things that are indirectly in the code sequence.

It's an unsolved problem.

You might consider rerunning your analysis with ghidra or Ida, but those aren't as easy to mass disassemble like objdump *.
Deflationary periods and natural recessions hurt in the short term, but they are also the most consistent periods in American history where wealth inequality decreases as the economy corrects and reallocates capital [0]. Staving them off at all costs for the last few decades via easy monetary policy is arguably one of the greatest contributors to the rise in wealth inequality, alongside poorly graduated income tax brackets and (to a lesser degree) automation.

And we re back full circle to the point where that comment was right
This idea already applied in some companies in regards to limiting legal risk. I use to work for a backup company and one customer was a very large software company. This customer wanted to custom version retention that basically deleted previous version of files 2 weeks after it was deleted on the user's computer. Most other customers wanted the exact opposite. But you can provide documents to courts if they were removed under the standard policy.

Of course, once a lawsuit was underway, many backups were placed under legal hold and no longer pruned old versions.

Seatbelt laws curtail liberties, too, but most societies have decided that the good effects massively outweigh the small freedom inconvenience of putting a buckle in a latch and going about your day.

As has been said elsewhere, anarchism means 'without rulers' and anarcho-capitalism fits this definition as it strives to remove the state, while individuals will retain their property rights. Private and voluntary institutions (both for-profit and non-profit) will supersede the role of the state.

However, if we limit anarchism to its more historic meaning, which is anarcho-communism and related ideologies, then you'd be correct. To avoid confusion this is why ancaps are using the term 'voluntaryism' to better describe their position.

Corporations wouldn't exist in an ancap society, as they rely on limited liability, meaning their executives are not legally responsible for their decisions. Such an arrangement can only exist under a state. (cf. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/corporate_responsibilities_...) Holding directors accountable to their lenders, customers, investors, etc will strongly disincentivise the short-term mindset we see in corporations today.
It's incredible that he managed to be that leveraged to begin with. So much of the modern economy is built up on debt and leverage. Sometimes I can't help but feel it will all unravel, very quickly. What will it take? An asteroid impact?

Another strange thing is the following:

> U.S. rules prevent individual investors from buying securities with more than 50% of the money borrowed on margin. No such limits apply to hedge funds and family offices. People familiar with Archegos say the firm steadily ramped up its leverage. Initially that meant about “2x,” or $1 million borrowed for every $1 million of capital. By late March the leverage was 5x or more.

Why are the rules not also applied to hedge funds? I wish I could say this is the only one, but from my knowledge there are a lot of rules that pretty much only apply to retail.

It's been maddening watching economists whom I respect making proclamations (one way or the other) with high degrees of confidence that inflation is or isn't a problem. They have no idea, because anyone who actually knows what they are doing knows that there isn't enough data yet.
Yes and 1/3rd of the inflation is attributed to vehicle prices.

Because if banks have underwritten fixed-rate mortgages to people at 3% APR and inflation goes above 3%, then banks begin to lose money. Nobody wants banks to become insolvent.
Great point. It is striking to me how similar many of the modern languages are for various platforms (thinking of Rust, Kotlin, and Swift here), but it is still quite difficult to share business logic among web, Android, and iOS devices because of language differences.

If Dart/Flutter is good enough for all of those platforms, that is quite the value proposition.
I think this is a nice approach. You may even be able to take it further; if you're training end to end based on users' queries, you can probably have the query and image representations in the same space and use a simple similarity measure in place of the tiny neural net (something like OpenAI's CLIP model).

The tricky part will be scaling it -- not just for speed, but keeping the index size down. Also, you'll need to already have some version of image search to collect the training data.
After trying it for a few seconds, noticed X select-to-copy was broken, as well as the browser spellcheck feature that my daughter relies on heavily in Google Docs (where a text area can be spellchecked in french or english depending on the active spellcheck).

I didn't spend more than a few seconds on it, but those were the features I immediately noticed.
