The video is a tad confusing. He has this idea that methods from physics and calculus should be ported over to economics to tackle unsolved problems like inflation, and he doesn't clearly delineate the two when speaking. (The economics portion starts about 16 minutes in.)

I realized though that I didn't link to the best video to convey my point. Here is a more specific talk on inflation given by him and his wife to a room full of economists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwiHv7xVQ_c

Notably, the economists in the room point out that the inflation problem has already been tackled from a theoretical angle which does incorporate calculus. However, they say the resulting idea (the Divisia index) isn't practical for nation-level inflation measurements.

I use Buildkite all day as part of my job, and I have to say, it's amazing. The company is great to work with, the product is highly flexible for a variety of complex build workflows teams want to implement, and has scaled beautifully for 1000+ concurrent build machines split between on-prem and cloud. No affiliation, just a customer.

That’s an interesting one. The validity of your past statements ultimately rests on whether you understood what you were being asked. If someone does find themselves having talked it seems at least a court in the US would throw out the “statement” if you had a good lawyer. This is why people are often acquitted when a witness either changes their story or becomes non credible. Besides if the court believe that someone is lying in any way, nothing about their testimony can be trusted

I think it is more class related. As income/wealth divide grows, the cost to move up to the next socioeconomic class grows. If you are expecting to have jumped up the ranks into a certain neighborhood or school district, a certain city, vacation to certain destinations, then those will have become further out of reach.

It might be accurate to say the cost of your dreams or goals is increasing faster than official statistics.
These are projections made in 1976. They can be read as different project plans made at that time for different amounts of funding. For example, "if we follow the blue plan, it would require 9 billion (2012) US dollars of funding in 1982 (etc.) and we would achieve fusion by 1990."

The 1976 projection was that, assuming funding was kept at the level of 1976 (~1 billion a year), fusion would not be achieved in the foreseeable future. It further shows that actual funding has been below that level.

In short: Yes, getting fusion off the ground sooner would have required more money. Not "always more", but more than "we project no success" levels.

> that "costly" migration is going to be a rounding error on your balance sheet

This. Just because your services are containerized doesn't mean they'll scale well with each order of magnitude. Likely you'll need to re-architect other parts of the system to work at your new scale.
> the biggest value that Kubernetes provides is having a common set of abstractions that allow both reusing skills and treating different vendors' clusters as very similar resources

This is the real value of Kubernetes. I'm at my fourth kubernetes shop and the deployments, service, ingress, pod specs all look largely the same. From an operations standpoint the actual production system looks the same, the only difference between companies is how the deployments are updated and what triggers the container build and how fast they're growing. Giant development/engineering systems went from very specialized, highly complex systems, to a mundane, even boring part of the company. Infrastructure should be boring, and it should be easy to hire for these roles. That's what Kubernetes does.

Oh, and it scales too, but I'd say 95% of companies running their workloads on k8s don't need the scaling it is capable of.
> Even if unexpected consequences begin to show up, you eagerly attack them because consequences are more fun than mental paralysis.

Isn't this what got you mental paralysis in the first place? And why young people are generally more risk-taking? As you get more experience, you learn that every endeavor hides unknown risks.

It's this uncertainty (and unknown) that makes you hesitant. If you did enough endeavors that made you go through significant pain, you'll likely don't want to go through the experience again.
This doctor clearly has a vision for how he feels end of life should be, and then implies all (most) doctors share this and non-doctors should follow and doctors should be more vocal about the implied belief.

I'm a bit warey of his assertion that all doctors think the same way as him though. He relies pretty heavily on his experience and a few anecdotes. I wonder if there is any actual data on how doctors view "futile" care and end of life.

This guy claims inflation in the 8-10% range for the last 15 years, which translates to a 3-4x price increase since 2006.

Anecdotally, having tracked all my expenses since becoming an adult in 2006, in my area I have noticed:

* Food prices 1-1.5x (unchanged to 50% higher or so).

* Rent prices ~2x.

* House prices ~4x.

* Gas prices 1.5x

* Transit prices 1.5x

* Alcohol prices 1-1.2x

* Entertainment prices 1-1.5x

* Newest iPhone 1.8x

* Newest Playstation 1x

The housing crisis stands out as an obvious outlier, but most of this is consistent with inflation in the 2-3% range.
Thanks. Looks reasonable.

Yeah but then you are driving a shitty underpowered diesel.

Why aren’t the euro manufacturers building hybrid diesel powertrains? A small modern Diesel engine coupled to an electric motor would certainly provide more mpgs.
If they weren't bluffing and you're in the same county, it could just be the dispatcher remembered you from last time.

I had something analogous to this where the local PD left a voicemail saying my brother had gone missing and left a name with the same last name and a name similar to mine.

When I called back, I told the dispatcher and they refused to leave it there and wanted to transfer me to the cop in question which I thought was really weird. He took it down but it seemed like there was something else there. And I realized he was probably fishing to serve an arrest warrant or something.

To see if I would go, "No, my brother isn't missing. That's my cousin and he's at <address>." Cops do that type of shit all the time.

F/1.8 is a familiar number to people only because of how that number matters for a full frame, APS-C, or 4/3 sensor. It doesn't translate well to what would produce good image quality on an 8mm sensor. The equivalent F number will be much higher. Using it in this context is just marketing. I'm not saying it's bad, just that the information they're giving isn't what people will understand it as, which I think is a bit misleading.

My friend wrote a very interesting article on the topic if you're curious - I had no idea about most of this:

English in past decades used he/him/his as a default pronoun. You cannot solve everything by changing the whole system, and that isn't desirable. It is better in our case if females, who equally well understand the default male pronoun, choose to identify with said pronoun in said circumstance.

What evidence supports the claim that the CCP is using TikTok to control the morals of U.S. children? The CCP must also want to corrupt their own children as well because a version of TikTok is widely available in China.

I am interested to learn more about the Communist Party’s initiative to get American children to see more videos of boobs and weed. Don’t you see how ridiculous this sounds?

How is the content of TikTok fundamentally different from that of any other social media in the U.S. or China? Or old-school online forums or imageboards?

Or is it more likely that TikTok is just doing the same stuff that Twitter, Vine, Facebook, etc. did, but now you think it is a diabolical conspiracy because the company is owned by a Chinese tech company rather than an American one?
The DSLR felt 10x smoother and more natural to me as someone that knows nothing about cameras.

Ironically, this website made me want to go find a cheap/used DSLR because the quality is so much better.

I personally use Camo with my iPhone which does almost all of these things and uses the computer in my pocket. Would love to see a comparison with that as I think its reasonable to assume someone willing to drop $300 on a webcam has overlap with someone willing to pay a monthly fee to use their phone as one.
The magnet with the strongest magnetic field isn't necessarily the best engineering solution for a fusion reactor. In particular, these magnets need to be cooled (plumbing can be bulky and coolant can be difficult to work with) and allow for easy servicing of the reactor components (particularly the vacuum vessel which will need replacing every ~10 years due to neutron embrittlement). This magnet design is noteworthy because of several factors: high-temperature superconductivity means they're cheaper and easier to cool, the high field strength allows for a smaller scale reactor, and the physical construction of the magnets makes them cheap to build and allows for easy disassembly during maintenance periods.
Similar to sibling comment, but from a slightly older perspective as I approach 40.

It seems that people in my circles just don’t use anything any more, at least that I can see. Most who aren’t really techy or political have abandoned or never adopted Twitter. Facebook gets a few photos of first days of school and vacation. Instagram gets the same but more of it, and occasional food pics.

But it seems that most actual communications isn’t public anymore. It’s all silo’d off into various instant message groups, mostly just over text message. Perhaps it’s just aging out, and not sharing as much or people feeling like their life experiences aren’t worth sharing to broader audiences. Whatever the cause, my Internet experience used to be so much about connecting and communicating with people (almost all of which I knew in person), and these days it’s just a much quieter place.

Though I’ll admit that could just be middle age bias. A lot of priorities change for a lot of people and your 30s can be a slog with the combination of young kids and aging parents.

I know my grandparents used to send a Christmas letter to all their friends and family updating everyone on their life for the previous year, births and deaths, victories and defeats, interesting travels, etc. I’d love to see similar things from the people who I still very much care about even if I don’t get to see them in person much these days.

> Anecdotal evidence and occasional surveys have indicated that the general public believes inflation is running well above official reporting, and that public perceptions tend to mirror the inflation experience that once was reflected in the government’s formal CPI reporting.

... but one might reasonably suppose that part of the public's supposed perception of inflation influenced not just by actual prices but by the way we talk about prices and inflation? I.e. some people that keep talking about inflation being "actually" higher than measured contribute to people believing that inflation is higher.

There is a species of environmentalism that would consider successful fusion or similar high tech mega scale energy source actually detrimental because you can't build one in your hippy community using old tractor parts and alternative ways of knowing.

Environmentally clean energy source is not enough, it needs to be ideologically pure as well.
Not that the article did a great job highlighting all of the good reasons that I and others pushed back against this but...

It's not like this is a small code base that's already free of warnings.

This is a massive code base under the most extreme churn, with 10^6000 configurations, supported by many versions of two different also-fast moving compilers adding more diagnostics to -Wall, with patches getting backported to forks ("stable"), without any CI or processes in place requiring any soak time on patches. (There are quite a few CI systems, but they don't gate merging; linux-next exists as an integration tree, but some patches skip it or spend a day or two before the merge window).

It's ok to not be sympathetic, but you really don't understand what we're dealing with here.
Expensive because it's a custom built physics lab, not a commercial power plant.
Slow because it's an international project. Not just that, but it also requires lots of infrastructure to be built and entire industries to develop in multiple countries, before it can be useful. ITER is massive, but it's also just a tip of the iceberg.

>It just doesn't strike me as obvious that reducing the major radius by a few meters would have such a huge impact on cost/timelines.

It would, easily. Past a certain size, production costs rise exponentially and require one-off tech.

That was not the case.
Yep - there are certainly some bubbles of costs that have increased substantially, but think about the tech in your pocket (1995 was the era of $500/GB hard drives - https://external-preview.redd.it/-ArYBjQcq6Go7QbkY5-Os9FFOtZ... and terrible $5,000 Gateway laptops) or the car in your driveway.

A new Civic costs something like 80% more than a 1995 one and is a remarkably nicer car. Gas prices are up something like 200% since then (but basically unchanged since the mid 2000s), but cars are far more fuel efficient so even that impact is blunted.. groceries, appliances, furniture, restaurants, entertainment...
I’ve seen a number of companies going for k8s and not other solution not because they needed the complexity, but because it was first party supported.

To me what killed Swarm is Google needing to spread k8s.

If you are eyeing at GCE but decide you want a bit more flexibility, going for a Google backed solution gives you k8s, and Swarm isn’t even on the choice list.

Choosing a third party means you’re on your own to bootstrap/make it live, or contract a vendor that might not live longer than you. That’s fine for companies who strategically choose to invest for the long term, sadly that’s not most of the companies out there.
you would need to make it as simple as running k3s on 1,3,5 nodes and probably also have stuff like system-upgrade-manager and another good idea is to work on flatcar linux, etc.
k3s is so good for small-middle sized metal clusters and also works on a single node. it's so simple to start, you will have a rough time to actually try to gain momentum in this space which will also not generate a lot of revenue.

the only thing which is not so easy is LoadBalancing to extern i.e. kube-vip/metallb both can be a pain (externalTrafficPolicy: Local is still a shit show).
k3s basically creates a k8s cluster with everything except good load balancing over multiple nodes

> That number is most certainly not random, there are biases in it, you just don't know there are.

Indeed. In that specific example, the author generated 24 binary digits, but only on 7 occasions was the digit the same as the previous digit. There were 23 opportunities to do so, and in a truly random sequence of digits the chance of any digit being the same as the previous one is 50%.

Applying the binomial distribution, the probability of observing 7 or fewer repeats with 23 trials and a 50% chance on each trial is only 4%. So with p = 0.04, we can reject the null hypothesis that the author's generated sequence is random, and conclude that it is biased.

Relative humidity is a function of air temperature. 50% humidity at 60F is relatively comfortable, but 50% humidity at 90F is much more uncomfortable. What is really happening is the dew point is closer to your ambient surface skin temp, so water has a harder time evaporating/starts to collect.

Since air holds more water at higher temps (and a lot more, 90F air can hold almost 3x as much as 60F air), just comparing humidities without considering temp doesn't say much.
> I guess there’s a market for a fancy standalone webcam, but it cannot be huge. Most people don’t care, people who moderately care can use their smartphones with a bevy of tethering software,

Hacky and annoying. Also it ties up a phone, and I'd have a phone mounted to the top of my monitor, which looks kind of stupid.

Finally, what's the latency like? virtual meetings already have terrible latency, I don't want to get near anything that'll add more. Heck tons of models of BT headsets can add hundreds of ms of latency (!!), with moderately good ones adding only around 100 (ick).

If the Opal can deliver low latency video and audio of a higher quality than other cheap webcams or laptop built-in cameras, and offer a good software experience, then it has a chance in the market.

Of course people on this site can hack something better together, that new Raspberry Pi HQ camera module is nice, but it isn't going to dominate the consumer market.
