> It probably won't reach insane numbers such as 1000% but it'll certainly become worse than what it was before.

Worse by what metric? You can not look only at inflation when establishing economic policy. An inflation of 25%/year and full employment and economic growth is certainly better than 3%/year with 10% unemployment and zero growth.

Sure we'd like inflation to be as low as possible, but at the same time this should not come at the expense of everything else.

> Am I not supposed to conclude that government money printing was the root cause of all this hardship?

The problem is not in the "money printing" (monetary policy), but in taking whatever resources the government had and deciding to put them into building a city like Brasilia in the middle of nowhere (economic policy).

It wouldn't matter if JK had the resources already and Brasil was flush with resources, or if he managed to convince people to borrow him the money at low interest rates: Brasilia was and is a bad idea. Just like Brazil's eternal dependency on commodity exports and lack of basic infrastructure investment, or its centralization around SP-Rio for economic development, or not doing reforms to get rid of the über-privileged public sector employees, or politician's constant use of the state-owned companies as a way to distribute power to those that stay aligned with them. Just like so many other million things that happen in Brazil and that leads to this mismanagement.

So, to sum up: this "conclusion" you are getting to is a leap of logic. You can not conclude that all and any money printing will lead to eventual catastrophe and rampant inflation. Catastrophes happen when bad economic policies are in place.

It took myself a while to admit, and I get why this is an unsatisfying take for a community as heavy on creatives as HN: there are digital native makers and digital native consumers, and the latter is utterly dominating the young population to the point of relegating the makers to the fringe.

The age of making tools and coming up with workarounds in the face of limitations has come to an end as a mainstream computing activity. A person using a computer in the 90s had to know a lot of technical details and was far more likely to need this knowledge in order to accomplish something. A person growing up today does not, in general, have this need: they can go their whole lives without ever needing to know anything "technical" by virtue of never brushing up against serious limitations that seem surmountable with personal expertise.

Before judging what's good and bad about this, other people have rightfully pointed out the exact same shift in other technology/tools sectors, such as the car industry. The most positive way I can frame this shift in respect to computing is:

In the beginning, the tool itself mattered the most. Its composition, its setup, its ever-evolving but inspectable properties. For many, the tool itself was the purpose. Overcoming its limitations and improving it was the purpose.

By now, the tool itself is no longer relevant. It only matters what you can do with it. The works made with the tool are center stage. Whatever limitations the tool still has are accepted as unchangeable and/or not worth contemplating. Spending time on the tool itself is considered, at best, a weird hobby.
Is it possible the bitcoin position was a hedge against chip prices? One would expect the two prices to be correlated. Price of bitcoin goes up -> more miners buy chips. I don't know, their bitcoin position otherwise doesn't make sense to me.

If there are specific problems worth raising about PoS, please share them, I'm sure plenty of folk here would love to learn what they are.

My take is that it's probably an ESG thing, perhaps some funds voiced their concerns about the potential for Tesla stock to hurt their ESG ratings. There was never any question of whether holding and transacting in Bitcoin would eventually start appearing on the same page as Greta Thunberg, the only question was when. It seems Musk just drastically accelerated this outcome.
That or they are certain they will get burned sooner or later, and therefore even if they tank the value of their holdings it's at a time of their choosing and with an amount that's predictable.

Contrast with the scenario where they keep doing it, steadily increasing their bitcoin holdings and even seeing the proportion of sales using bitcoin increase… and THEN hit a wall, not of their own choosing, and see the value collapse.

Even if they are not dumping their holdings at all, there's still a case to be made for pulling a plug at a time they control, over an amount they control. If it collapses, they can put a hard limit on how much they lose: that being, the previous value of their entire bitcoin holdings.

> The shutdown mechanisms are specifically about the containment of heat. The problem is generally about a reaction not being shut off.

Indeed? I was of the understanding that the shutdown mechanisms were specifically for halting the chain reaction, and largely a solved problem with mature tech, and it was containing the decay heat of Gen 2 designs that was the trickier problem.

I am happy to be wrong about the latter, though perhaps not as happy to be wrong about the former.

Well... the only language with true zero-cost abstractions is Lisp (assuming you call it a language, which it strictly isn't, but let's not go there right now).

The reason Lisp is zero cost is because what you write as data structure (the program IS a data structure) can be interpreted however you decide it to be interpreted. You can design any kind of abstraction you like and then separately completely control how that code is translated to binary.

For example, when you write a function call like printf("%d", 7) in C (forgetting built in optimization for printf...), the resulting binary has no other choice than to call printf function, parse "%d" and then conditionally read in argument and create a string.

On the other hand if C was Lisp it could, at the time of compilation, translate this code to invocation of putc('7') so that during normal execution the parsing of "%d" would never happen.

In C this requires compiler support. In Lisp you are compiler -- you decide what code is going to be generated.
Even if Trump got the questions, he couldn't have answered any of them because the man was the most incompetent national politician in history, modern or otherwise, but that wasn't what I was replying to, was it?

Hi fish,

thanks for very interesting article, again!

Do you think the very fast division on M1 has any implications for 128/64 narrowing division as well? Do you know of a faster way than the method by Moller and Granlund? Do you plan on to include 128/64 division in libdivide?

And I asked this question before but the parent post got flagged so I'm trying once more: at the very bottom of the Labor of Division (Episode V) post [1], is it really possible for the second `qhat` (i.e. `q0`) to be off by 2? Do you have any examples of that?

The problem is that the lines between many of these words are confusing and often intentionally blurred by people on various sides.

While the definition of Semite includes Arabs and other people[1], anti-Semite is specifically defined as hostility towards Jews.[2]

Also not all Jews are Israelis, not all Israelis are Jews, not all Israelis or Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews or Israelis.

It therefore is anti-Semitic when Jews are blamed for the actions of either Israelis or Zionists the same way it would be anti-Muslim to blame any random Muslim person for the actions of the Saudi government or any other specific group of Arab people.

One of my first programming projects as a teenager back in terminal-type days was to write my own text editor for the Atari ST. I was super happy with it, and sold three (3) copies of it! That made me very happy at the time.

Of course there was that time that I messed with the save/load code and destroyed the text files of one of my customers. Not so happy with that! Saved it by writing a fix system, and that actually led to being hired at that guy's company for my first "real" job. ;)
There may not be hidden APIs. They could only use those custom instructions inside public functions that everybody can call, such as those in the Accelerate framework.

Bitcoin Q&A: Why “Energy Consumption” Math Sucks
Ask HN: Is there a list of all (or most) APIs and their endpoints?
I'm aware of lists like https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis that list APIs. Is there a repo out there (or something else) that lists not only the API provider but also all of their endpoints? e.g. for Binance, something like this:

```

GET /sapi/v1/capital/config/getall

GET /sapi/v1/accountSnapshot

POST /sapi/v1/account/disableFastWithdrawSwitch

...

...

etc.

```

Would need not only all of the APIs out there but all of their endpoints as well (both free and paid APIs). Happy to create one if it doesn't exist

Well, actually, it may well have been - there was a lot of accounting software (and other end user stuff such as word processors, databases and spreadsheets) written for CP/M, and back then not so much for Unix (which I was also working on at the time).
I debated where to attach a comment and decided that here would be as valid as elsewhere in the nearby tree. But, some of my response is more broad than to your comment...

I think that the ancestor and related messages imply various false dichotomies of logical+rational versus rich+emotional, problem solving versus experiencing, or a more ambiguous "spectrum". Likewise, you somewhat conflate several: novel versus familiar, pure versus tainted, bright or rich versus dull. These are not clear basis vectors of some abstract space but more confusing and muddled aspects of some perceptual space with an unknown number of dimensions shaped by the first person witness.

In the spirit of the broader topic, I think part of aging and becoming a master of your emotions is to recognize the imprecision and false allure of these metaphors. Ignorance is not bliss; it can be bliss or fear. Novelty is not wonder; it can be wonder or horror. And of course, ignorance or novelty can be boring or desensitizing too! Your state and perspective can drastically change the subjective experience, as can any number of external factors omitted from such trite labels.

The notion of not being able to repeat something is also embedded in how I've seen people, without intending any direct reference to the Thomas Wolfe novel, often use the adage "you can never go home again". I would say most people seem to mean that the observer/traveler has changed and cannot experience home the same way, though of course the place/inhabitants and relationships also change. The whole "home" experience is fleeting or even illusory. Conversely, someone can find "home" wherever they go, if they can establish sufficient conditions. I think Wolfe was aware of all of these factors.

Ironically, emotion as a biological system seems to be all about repetition and heuristics for prompting behaviors given the "same" conditions. And it's not just emotion. So much of perception and cognition is based in an illusion of permanence and identity for abstract concepts. Concepts that don't necessarily exist in the actual chaotic environment within which we are living.

That's one of the more probable cause of this specific issue. There's speculation all over the place in these comments but it's extremely likely that an automatic moderation system triggered these bans... That moderation system may have been responding to a bunch of people flagging posts from those accounts as hate speech or violence.

It's also quite difficult to actually solidly connect accounts with real-world persons - and equally difficult to find reliable streams on who has committed violent crimes (ones that aren't likely to be poisoned by political silencing) and integrate that into your system.

Social media has definitely made this problem on their own, but it isn't surprising to me that they're all struggling to weave a line between becoming tools of political repression and being full to the brim with extremism.
