>Debt: The first 500 years - I found it extremely interesting.

The interesting things are everything Graeber missed. Which fair, he's an anthropologist and not an economist. Interestingly, none of which really contradicts him.

When Jeff Bezos is worth billions, does he really? He doesn't have actual $, he has an abstract # derived from owning stocks in amazon. But how did you even get there? It's fundamentally debt. Every $ he is worth is the debt someone else has. Society owes him for his contribution. He created something that people love to use. Therefore he will be rewarded for that.

The caveat is that he does not get interest for this debt. He's not holding mortgages or whatever. So inflation is the mechanism in which he gets poorer. He is forgiving that debt like Graeber explains it worked in the olden days. However, he obviously is still operating and continuing to earn, so his worth goes up.

Flipside, if you are someone who holds mortgages, you earn the interest. You're not forgiving debt, so long as inflation is lower than the interest rate. Like right now, the market has bond rates well below inflation. The people holding debt are forgiving the debt. Which are often retirement funds and what have you because they are legally required to buy those.

In the USA, even the 30 year bonds are negative. Whoever holds your debt is forgiving your debt in those percentages. Other countries like Germany have negative interest rates, they have to forgive the debt even faster. Why is this? This is the time when baby boomers are retiring. Germany obviously didn't do well in WW2 and it's going to impact them more.
This is my not-so-secret weapon and I highly recommend it.

I spent some years at a FAANG, some of them in management, and it was shocking how many meetings could be unlocked by one person willing to risk sounding stupid.

I was also shocked by how many people would approach me after to say they were wondering the same things.

The flip side to this, was that I would also occasionally step on someone's favorite baby, which they usually didn't like much.
Dating is also just a PitA for most people given the current payoff and the alternatives available, which doesn't help either. Few people enjoy a second job over their existing full-time job with a potentially much lower or even negative payoff.

I don't think this is a valid argument. If you have a conflict between what your religions says and what you conclude by other means and you decide - for whatever reasons - to follow the religion, then you still want this thing. It might not be a case of I really, really want this but it is still a case of I just want this.
Related to this question, can someone explain the design goal of torch.jit to me? Is it supposed to boost performance or just give a means to export models? I found my jitted code ran slower than interpreted pytorch, and the latter despite its asynchronous nature spent most of its time waiting for the next gpu kernel to start.

Having got a working torch model on cpu, what's the best path to actually making it run as fast as I feel it has potential to?

Yes and no. By definition, the company does what those in power make it do, even if it is against the profits. No company can operate independently with zero margin however.
I ALWAYS use git commit -p. I can't count the number of times clion/intellij/pycharm or vscode have done something unexpected, and I often catch things that shouldn't be committed, e.g. logging statements, commented code, etc. It takes an extra minute, but it really helps the code quality. Every senior engineer I work with (developing trading system) does the same.
Every secondhand item I've bought or sold on Craigslist (including a car bought and a car sold) was transacted in cash (literal banknotes). There is 0.0% chance that I'd consider paying or accepting anything else as it's just not the normal practice, meaning the risk of fraud is much higher.

Why? What benefit does society gain from telling Elon Musk, years ago, no more money, go buy cars and nice dinners, you're not allowed to start SpaceX or get involved with Tesla?

Also, it's trivially sidestepped. Japan is a culture with notoriously uncompetitive executive pay. As a result, one, its ambitious tend to not do their work there. And two, many firms have the entire family on the payroll. (Beyond that, a deep system of patronage.)

I wonder if quite a big part of the problem is that the one child policy normalised single child families for an entire generation.

I know for certain that my wife and I both want to have another child because we both grew up with siblings and can see the lifelong benefits. Children are pretty hard work though, and there's been a lot of moments when we've thought "do I really want to go through all this again".

Take away the normalisation of multi child families and I bet a lot of people would just stick with one.

Which is of course a fairly hard problem to solve - if you aren't having 2.2 children per couple then your population is shrinking.

"Something I was struck by in the movie is that there's a huge lack of class solidarity between the various working class people. What inspired you to write the relationships that way?

You point out something very important. You know, in Mother, you see the have nots and the needy clawing at each other and hurting one another. On the other hand, in The Host, you see the solidarity between them, they save each other and they gather their strengths together. And you could say Parasite is closer to Mother, where the weak and have nots are fighting one another. And that's sad, but it's also realistic. And from those moments, you get this element of sadness, but also the comedy, as well"

Nobody said that. The assertion is that Facebook's culture either attracts or breeds people unbound by conventional morality.

They lie. They break laws. They do things nobody else would find conscionable that makes them a single-stop shop for pen testing the limits of the world's regulatory and legal systems.

After the pandemic started and I had to witness over screen share how colleagues "use" (fight) git with all sorts of GUI tools, I had to realize that no GUI can be good enough while one doesn't understand git, or, even worse, it can be contraproductive, because people using these GUIs _think_ they understand, but they don't.

"the weapon has to be modified because of reduced pressure"

This makes sense for weapons on a movie set but our army weapons were loaded with both blanks and bullets on a regular basis thus were unmodified.

I'm going back a long way now but I still recall being instructed that blanks were dangerous because they used the same or similar charge as did the live ammunition (as I've mentioned elsewhere, they pack a real punch). I wonder if the reason why our blanks were so dangerous was that they were designed to provide sufficient back pressure at the expense of safety (from experience, armies aren't overly enamored with mollycoddling soldiers - even less so decades ago when I was being instructed).

I, however, do recall being instructed that cleaning weapons after using blanks was even more important than with live ammunition, as after a firing there was no subsequent bullet to help remove charge residue. A typical example of dangerous practice would be using blanks all morning and then in the afternoon going to the range for target practice without judicious use of one's pull-through (residue buildup potentially leading to one's breach or barrel peeling open).

It's also just occurred to me that there may be different practices across different countries and at different times in history (my experience a long time ago may have been different than practice nowadays). For example, for pragmatic reasons, a blank might have an even greater charge than live ammunition to overcome the loss of back pressure there being no bullet. Alternatively, the
cartridge's wadding is made deliberately tough or large to provided sufficient back pressure for automatic weapons). As I can attest from injuries, the wadding in the blanks that I was issued with was substantial.

Does anyone have reliable facts about this?

Yes and even harder they will have to convince potential customers that their culture has changed too.

Edit: This also adds the complexity of constantly managing trade-offs between (lower margin) external customers and the (higher-margin) in-house CPU business - it would be so easy to get that balance wrong.

There is an "app" for most commerical services available for Kodi. These apps do not break DRM (they use an extracted Widevine binary from ChromeOS).

Wood does indeed expand and contract a lot due to changes in humidity. The expansion and contraction is far greater in certain directions and will vary according to species and how the grain is orientated in a particular board.

Laminiating strips or sheets in addition to the strength from the glue (typically in plywoods this is done with perpendiclar grain directions) can counter this.

For a solid wood panel door for example you really want a very stable hardwood species for the frame and for the panels to be fitted without glue into recesses with room for them to expand and contract.

> and it's STILL super hard to raise a child

It's super hard because you want your child to have a better life than you, and from the get go.

Parents nowadays want the trajectory of their child to be transposed upwards from the get go, and then be an up& to the right chart for their whole life.

This was never the case in human history, people never really put much thought into reproduction, matter of fact people never really put much thought into anything.

Very little time to wonder and price odds when you gotta go out and hunt to keep yourself alive.

People aren't having children because they think too much about outcomes for themselves, for their potential children and so forth.

Nature wanted reproduction to be impulsive, the whole planning for is humans shooting themselves in the foot.
