I assume you are being ironic, and the point is an interesting one.

It's worth examining what caused a confluence of information sources to aggressively discredit a theory they are now presenting as plausible, and how they are handling what seems like a dramatic shift in perspective, as well as the causes for the shift.

Moreover, it's worth considering how we can better analyze and verify news media and other information sources. I notice many errors and misrepresentations in areas where I have personal knowledge and expertise, but I tend to accept news reports at face value in areas where I have little expertise or knowledge.

> We could really use laws that force, once again, some sort of separation between production and distribution. Better stuff gets made in this kind of ecosystem.

Forcing this would also have many downsides:

- if you make content that others don't want to distribute, are you not allowed to distribute it yourself? Freedom to publish whatever you want feels very valuable for society, IMHO.

- costs for consumers might rise because you now have two sets of costs priced in, instead of one set of costs.

- It's harder to launch new companies. If content providers don't want to work with you as a distributor when you're small, it's hard to get off the ground. If distributors don't want to work with you because your content is unproven, it's hard to get off the ground. Etc.

I think that the Expanse (books & show) do a fairly good job at explicitly not making the future look that cool. Despite the specific new technologies that are around, people's live contain about the same amount of misery, tech breakdowns and general impossibility as we do today.
A ton of negativity in the comments here. Greater availability of funding is awesome. I'm working on a project right now as a spinoff of a research contract that I'm going to land and apply with. Very exciting and very timely.
You explicitly blamed distribution of trillions to the populace, which I think is the conclusion the article's author wanted people to come to.

Your response illustrates the likelihood that the article is a stealth attack on government stimulus to the non-rich, to deflect the possibility of more straightforward solutions, like curtailing stimulus to the rich.
nix does all three of these, I think.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but why does the OP link to a different domain from the one you linked to? They appear to be nearly identical sites.
It actually is sort of nice, because "works" isn't binary. It's nice to be able to charge a laptop with what you have, even if it doesn't charge quite as fast. You can transfer data over a cable at lower speeds even if it doesn't run at top speed.

Using the "right" cable is performance optimization. This isn't like the old days when plugging things in the wrong way might damage your machine.

Hi, please have a look here: https://youtu.be/CcgO_CV3iDo?list=PLu-ydI-PCl0OEG0ZEqLRRuCrM...
I'll preface this by saying that I don't want to be mean and just give you honest feedback. I haven't read either of your books and just looked at the amazon page you linked, look at the cover and read the blurb for The Golden Seed, and looked at https://gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/, looked at the cover, skimmed the table of contents and read the paragraph under the title. This is of course entirely personal feedback based on how I feel about both of your books.

For "The Golden Seed", both the cover and the blurb seem "too much", like the kind of book you encounter by the dozen in a bookstore. It's also a fiction book, which appeals less to me because I can either ask people in my family for recommendations (there are a few big readers) and then have something to talk about, or read well-known books (for example, I've read The Three-Body Problem recently, after hearing about it 4 or 5 times here and really liked it).

On the other hand, Computer Graphics from Scratch attracts me more: its cover is in the same style as "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", of which I've heard great things about; the "from scratch" appeals to me because I like the idea of building things from scratch; the table of contents has an entire part on raytracing, and the book seems oriented at beginners, which I like because I previously tried and failed to build a raytracer following the raytracer in one weekend project, and I think I could achieve it with this book. It's a technical book, which I'll value more because it feels like I'm building a skill. I also have a friend that made a few graphics experiments as a hobby and this could be a great conversation topic.

Again, this is very personal feedback but I hope it can help you understand why some people might buy one and not the other.
Useless then
I understand. For myself, I chose to solve that by not purchasing any TV, cable phone, or any other package and only getting Internet. Internet is the only useful thing for me from all of that, anyway.

If the prices get too high I call them up and cancel. At that time, they try to keep me as a subscriber by giving me lower rates. If they don't have any available I ask when their new packages are coming out and call back a day after that time.
That’s when you’re talking about color production (how the artist/content creator intends a specific visual image to be perceived).

Color reproduction is 100% an engineering thing about wavelengths. To my knowledge monitors do indeed change the wavelength. Sure it’s several separate colored emitters, but using constructive and destructive interference to generate a wavelength doesn’t take anything away from it.

There are places where things get messy where reproduction blends in a bit of production (eg applying an HDR filter, applying monitor-specific tweaks, etc). It’s a complex topic for sure. But the position of “color is purely a perception in our head and not wavelengths” position is too extreme in the opposite direction and isn’t helpful in building things.
People keep saying how great Reddit is, but I tried signing up to a bunch of my "Niches" and all the posts where just low quality junk; for example every other post in the 3dprinting subreddit is just "MY FIRST PRINT!" or "I BOUGHT A THING!" and for some reason people think it's cute so they upvote it. EDC? here is another picture of my gun! Tech reddit; "here is a link to a medium post that you can't see unless you subscribe!".

And the rest of the posts are just people re-asking the same questions over and over because they can't be bothered to search.

Reddit is just a fire hose of low quality content.
> You talk about ways that the headline could be reconciled with inflation, but even if true, the headline certainly doesn't describe an inflationary situation.

The headline describes a response to inflation, not a cause. You are criticizing it because the response it describes does not explain the cause. Which is a silly criticism; responses aren’t supposed to explain causes.
You're right that there is a well-established term "Southeast Europe" to refer to the countries you mention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Europe

But there is also the fact that Europe continues far to the east of those parts, so there is another southeast corner somewhere else.

This looks interesting (although I'm not in the target market, too small)...

But if I were looking at this, judging from the quality of people they've amassed in their engineering team, is there any chance they won't be acquired in 6 months?

To anyone looking to take a bet on this, what is the answer to "what's your plan for when your stellar team gets acquired?" And what answer will satisfy that buyer?

Update: Adding another question, does this "environment" (where any really great product with great talent in it can be acquired very quickly) have a chilling effect on purchases for products like this?

Hopefully some Oxide people can answer :-)
Inflation is so low right now because the Fed is artificially forcing low interest rates. Dollars in circulation has little impact on it.

It took a pandemic to reach 4% inflation. If you are the president of the central bank and your mandate is 2% it is a fantastic show of incompetence.

> If you really think this is merely a supply-chain issue, you haven't been watching the continuous stream of Fed easing that has been happening since the GFC, and arguably almost since the end of the .com burst.

The Fed mostly did two things, set low interest rates (not low enough since the market clearing rate is negative) and give banks more reserves so that they can lend more. When the Fed creates new money it does so via debt, all that new money has to be returned one day so as soon as you raise interest rates we'll automatically get deflation as people pay their debts back.

A lot of the QE money is "hot air" because you have to borrow money to tap into it and large businesses and mortgages get much better terms than consumers and startups. The pandemic is special because the new money actually reached everyone.

One big problem that the Fed faces is that the easy money is being taken by unproductive companies and the ease of access to loans makes it easier for these unproductive companies to survive leaving less room for the productive ones that may not need as much funding. Zombie companies are fine in the short term because they employ people and you get the helicopter money effect. Once you have full employment you get rising wages and inflation, which means it is time to kill off zombies by raising interest rates. However, if it takes 10 years of low interest and inflation to get back to full employment those zombies will have time to gain market share and when it's time for them to go, they may take a big chunk of the market with them.

The benefit of helicopter money is that people spend the money on things they personally need. No need for a government to decide what to spend the money on. No need for companies to do market research on what consumers want.

No this isn't how "science works". When a theory is highly broken, you don't then use that as a foundation to make more grand predictions. Science doesn't do this, but a church does.

The responsible thing to say is "we don't know what happened but we have some wild and probably highly inaccurate ideas on what it could be like".
Is anyone in the nvim community working on unifying UI widgets (popovers and pickers) for eventual inclusion in nvim itself?

Consistent UI for users and great UI APIs for plugin devs would be a nice perk.

I have a couple of nvim plugins in flight and building the UI has been the hardest part so far. (A couple of examples: https://imgur.com/a/RZV2eYJ )
I'm in the curiously rare position of being a long time Neo/vim user who doesn't use its modal features. Namely I have all my keybindings setup like a "normal" editor, CTRL+S to save etc.

I say it's curious because I've always been surprised that Neo/vim is mainly celebrated as "that modal editor". Whereas for me I celebrate it as the most feature-packed and lightweight terminal editor. Neo/vim is sooo much more than merely its modal editing.

With this new release of Neovim maybe there's renewed interest in what Vim is beyond the stereotypes. I wrote a plugin a few years ago that intelligently disables Neo/vim's NORMAL mode [1]. It always seemed such an obvious idea when the majority of editors have their own plugins to intelligently enable Vim-style modality.

"simply to pick a likely-unique string from the article you suspect of being a ripoff and google it with quotes around it"

There's also a subtype that deliberately circumvents this trick. There is a type of ad fraudster that rips off of, e.g. native German-speaking writers, runs their work through machine translation, and publishes the English output as original.

I encountered several examples on some technical subs on Reddit (not yet on HN). It took a disproportionate amount of effort to unmask even one -- the method that ended up succeeding was to guess which technical terms could be idempotent under translation, and (&&) some together until the result set is small enough. (It's harder to reverse translate, because unless you're an expert translator, you probably don't know what the source language was).

I've only seen a handful of these, but because of how difficult it is to detect, I'd speculate there could be a sizeable population in the wild. The writing is technically correct and non-suspicious, because it's written by a human expert in another language. It strongly resists reverse Google searches. And it resists social unmasking, because social groups who speak different languages tend to have distance between them.

It's a clever evil.

I'm curious to know what/who would be needed to convince the scientific community.
The previously best known algorithm for deciding if a given edge could be added to a planar n-node graph, while keeping it planar, took time O(sqrt(n)).
The new algorithm needs time only O((log n)^3), an exponential speedup.
Sounds like it. Now they just need to make a call to another country in the Five Eyes to get the data.
You need to provide a reliable source for your fantastical claim that "capitalism’s death toll far exceeds 100 million". You're trying to deflect because you don't have one.
You can do something like this:

```

" For large jumps, adds a spot on the jump list
function! tj#jump_direction(letter)
let jump_count = v:count

if jump_count == 0
call execute(printf('normal! g%s', a:letter))
return
endif

if jump_count > 5
call execute("normal! m'")
endif

call execute(printf('normal! %d%s', jump_count, a:letter))

endfunction

This is not outdated, The CDC website still says this is an active area of research. “Early data” indicates otherwise but we already know vaccines are not 100% effective. I don’t know why you’re believing the CDC on this after they pulled the same stunt on masks early on to achieve a political mission (reserve PPE for medical people) and even admit this is to incentivize those who are opposed to getting vaccinated by dangling the “no mask required” carrot in front of them. The default stance of the CDC should be cautious towards early data and not use it as a means to alter people’s behavior.
Yes, the tech developments have happened, no question.

But the look of the vessels, the homes, the offices, the computing devices ... these are all circa 2030 (or maybe even 2024).
Why is deflation worse than inflation? I like it when the things that I buy get cheaper.
That's not enough to move the needle. I think we are seeing "inflation" due to short term supply chain stop and restart.

As incomes are still fixed and there are cheaper substitutes for almost everything you want to eat people will modify and reduce.
>Today, it's definitely harder to find good commentary and exchange. It's also super heavily astroturfed by political groups in all the subreddits

I've found a lot of hobby specific subreddits or ones on niche topics tend to avoid that. Also, less popular niches or hobbies i've noticed tend to have more people that are actually interested in having decent conversations about said topics or hobbies.
It’s a propaganda piece. The point is to instill poor people with a fear of inflation to promote sentiment against redistribution, which is done by relating it with their everyday lives. Quality reporting is not the priority.
I've seen crypto betting markets [1] that have bets on whether or not Joe Biden will still be President at the end of the month. Ostensibly they are about his old age or Trump proving the election fraudulent or some such. But another way to construe them is as an inducement towards assassination.

I read about E-prime in my late teens, and while I don't actually use it in everyday language, thinking about the implications has deeply changed the way I think about things.

The basic idea for me is that all instances of 'is' are technically false statements[0]. "That chair is red" is false, not just in the boring sense that the chair probably has some non-red bits, but more fundamentally in the sense that redness is a result of you looking at it, not an intrinsic quality of the chair.

The E-prime version of that would be, "That chair looks red to me." A pedantic and unimportant difference in that example, but consider the difference between 'Bob is dishonest' and 'Bob lied to me.' The latter may or may not be true, but it is clearly a subjective observation and can be argued with on those terms. The former phrasing, taken literally, implies the existence of a hypothetical quality called 'honesty' and asserts that Bob doesn't have it, which is both literally false (because there is no such quality, at least not that we can measure) and less useful (because we assume the speaker has some reason to think Bob is dishonest, but don't know what it is).

The point is that it's a bug of our language (inherited from Aristotle, according to Korzybski) that we commonly phrase opinions as if they were facts, and that we describe things by assigning them imaginary intrinsic qualities and then talking about them as if they were observable. Once this meme infects you, you see it everywhere. The chair 'is' red, Bob 'is' dishonest, [politician] 'is' crazy, a photon 'is' a wave. In every case, rephrasing those in e-prime would be clearer and more accurate.

Some might still say this is just semantic nitpicking. In some contexts, sure. But I've found it to be very helpful, mostly in sciences but also in philosophy, art, and life generally. And it is particularly relevant to internet arguing. Not in the sense that you get to say, "Hah, you used 'is' so you're wrong!" but in the sense that you can more easily see when someone has said something you disagree with, but can't argue against because it is not arguable. Consider e.g. "vim is better than emacs". There's no point in debating that until you find out why they think that. That may seem obvious in the abstract, but in practice I find that most people would rather just guess, as in "I'll bet he means X, so I will now write 8 paragraphs angrily explaining why that's not true..." than ask.

0: "You just said is!" I hear you cry. Okay you got me. More precisely, it's all instances of the 'is of identity', as distinct from uses like "That is what I said" or "What is your drink preference." What E-prime tries to avoid is not specific words, it's phrasing a subjective statement about an observation in the form of an objective statement about an intrinsic quality of a thing.

If we just let HN take its course, few will upvote these subsidiary posts, and they will slide off the front page very quickly. Or never make it to the front pages at all. I don't see a reason for downmodding or flagging something of direct interest to the HN community.

For example, this post is #77 on the third page after an hour - most people won't see it at this point. And, I was interested to see that Django had moved.
The random notification sounds are because default server notification settings are set by the server owner. So when you join a server, its notification setting could be "all messages" or "mentions only" depending on what the server owner set. This setting only affects the notification sound (it doesn't badge the server or anything), so it's easy to misunderstand.
