Inflation is just the beginning - I've been trying to ramp up on the relevant economics and I'm developing a picture of what's happening. Focusing on prices I think is a mistake, the issue is beliefs/trust/future expectations. Inflationary fears create a dearth of trust, driving people to demand "more" for "less" (i.e. >1.0 return on the dollar). This creates inflation, which exarcebates inequality, and ultimately prices most people out of the market. Once this occurs, demand implodes and the real pain is the ensuing deflation.

Basically what we're seeing is the inevitable collapse of 50 years of supply-side economics (or "Reagonomics" or "Trickle Down Economics", as it's often referred to as). The inevitable result of this is wealth stratification and ultimately demand implosion.

The next 10 years should be interesting.

You're quite right about how good it feels to do such work yourself.
I'm fond of my '70s/80s audio gear from a perspective of build quality and maintainability.

Yes, pretty knobs matter. The right heft and feel is part of a quality user experience. I bought a bottom-of-the-range new Sony AVR in like 2010, and the experience sucked because too many options were buried behind a complex OSD and menu, while on the equivalent 40-year-old model was a single direct-access button.

You can crush a Harman/Kardon 730 to its component atoms, and there's an enthusiastic community that will help you restore it to operability. Virtually all the parts are available on Mouser or Digi-Key, and many can be replaced with better ones (tighter tolerances, smaller physical sizes) for peanuts. I doubt that new Sony AVR will ever be close to as fixable, let alone 40 years from now.

It's entirely possible that the right new kit will sound better, but I suspect as much as anything I'm room and layout limited more than gear limited. No point getting to -200dB signal to noise when there's a constant AC and CPU fan whine in the backdrop.
All my preimage attack images were created using only the hash of the target, no access to the target image was needed, nor is it obvious to me how it would be helpful at all (at least assuming the goal was for the false positive to look like some unrelated image).
> This turns out to be huge in practice. It turns out that huge swathes of all that boilerplate and frameworkitis that Java is so well known for are just trying to get around the consequences of that mistake, because all the interface-based structure has to be laid down in advance.

I'm a little lost by what you mean here? In my mind the only difference between a Go interface and a Java interface is Java lets you declare them in the class signature.
At the very least, you have to log that error.

Similarly, I also like watching videos that have a high dislike-to-like ratio because that tells me the video might be about something I'll appreciate that the rest of the public doesn't.
Intentional false negatives are mostly irrelevant. If you want to store galleries of illegal material on your phone, there are much better ways to do it which don't involve them being visually mangled, even if only slightly.

Intentional false positives require knowledge of a hash. And even that isn't enough to get a human to scan your image. You would need to acquire a library of A1 CSAM images/hashes. You would need to generate images which match both NeuralHash and the unspecified secondary hash algorithm which runs on Apple's cloud servers. And then you'd need to repeat this trick a sufficient number of times to trigger human review, at which point a few people (probably some minions in a developing country) get to look at the images for 1 second before pressing the "not CSAM" button and having the images sent to a technical team in Cupertino for analysis.
I think the line should be drawn at intentionally lying.

I also do think that all sorts of conspiracy theories ought to be taught. Teach flat earth along side round earth, and both geocentric and heliocentric. We all believe things which are false. Introducing a few intentionally has few downsides, and is a good context in which to develop critical thinking.

I do think intentionally lying -- especially when done by government employees, academics, and government contractors -- should be a borderline criminal offense.

I also think profit motive is a good place to draw lines, but I'm not quite sure how. Free market dynamics force disinformation. If that what gets the most ad clicks, that's what you'll see.

> bright pink marketing page that wants me to join Discord just to stand in line for access to some release of this software in the future

The author has been exceedingly clear that he intends to open up access when he feels it’s ready. The Discord link is for people who are already interested and want access before that. That’s not you, and that’s okay.

> claims of how great a new bundler is in the face of many, many, many, many, many projects started over the years claiming "oh, yeah, those esbuild jokers are no good, but I used Zig so my bundler is going to work much better"

I think this is wildly misrepresenting the author’s disposition. He’s expressed a lot of respect for ESBuild, credits it for aspects of Bun that are either borrowed or direct forks, and has received similar respect from ESBuild’s creator.

> Now I do appreciate that maybe the author wasn't the one who submitted this "pre-release software" page to HN, but nor did I try to comment upon any such twitter thread to express my opinion -- I weighed in on the HN thread as a nod to others who may come to the comments first in order to get the tl;dr before loading up the page

> Also, if jarredsumner's twitter is the authoritative source for why one should bother joining Discord, then the site would be well served to provide a link to that instead of linking to Zig as the compelling "read here for more info"

The author did not, in fact, submit this. And it’s the other way around: AFAIK before this hit HN the way people found bun.sh was specifically by way of Jarred’s Twitter.

I can see how that might be confusing with the context inverted. And I can see how this link, without prior context, might not be valuable to you. I’m very interested in the project and I certainly wouldn’t have posted this link at this time.

But I think one small bit of assuming good faith might be warranted from HN users before reacting negatively: at least try to remember that people share all sorts of interesting-to-them things all the time, and they might not be representing the thing itself or its creator.

And your power points in your house use 50 to 60Hz, depending on where you're from - and almost nobody even considers that "radio", even though technically it is.

Typically antennas for radios are 1/4 wavelength of the transmission frequency long (for various reasons but mostly related to transmission efficiency).

So as comparison, the 2.4GHz WiFi/Bluetooth radios in your phone have a 125mm wavelength so probably have 32mm long antennas (most likely folded in interesting ways to make then physically shorter). Old school 27MHz CB radios have an 11m wavelength, so ~2.7m antennas (in practice, at least on car mounted antennas, they'd coil some of that length up at the base out in the middle of they antenna, to keep the size down to 5 or 6 feet.) An 87Hz radio has a 3,500km long wavelength, so would want (for peak efficiency) an antenna almost 1000km long.

On top of that, power requirements to get a certain range go up with the square of the distance. Your phone WiFi probably maxes out at 200mW at it's 125mm wavelength and gets maybe 200m or less of max range. It's about 20,000km to get halfway around the planet, so ignoring a bunch of other important things, that's 100,000 times as far you'd need to transmit with 10 billion times as much power to get the same signal strength at that distance. That'd need ~2GW. Your phone battery wouldn't;t last long trying to do that...

(There's another complication abiyut the power requirement changing with wavelength, but I'm not quite enough of a radio geek to know that and the numbers I quickly googled up doin;'t make much sense, so...)

EXTREMELY competitive salaries does not say anything.

Because when you're writing a reusable, self-contained function, you often don't know enough of the context to "handle" the error.

Let's say you've got a function that reads from a file. If the file doesn't exist, what do you do? That entirely depends on the context the function is called in. If it's in a web server, you might return a 404. If it's a background task polling for some data, you might sleep for a while until the file is uploaded. Or you might want to create the file yourself.
I’m pretty cynical. There are a number of deeply unpopular progressive causes for which dislikes would dominate likes on YouTube. My sense is that YouTube wants to mask such information. That’s a good way to not reveal the chasm between elite opinion and popular opinion.
Agreed, people made the same argument for removing 5 star ratings from Netflix ('people only ever vote 1 star or 5 stars'). If this were an input for the decision making, these platforms could very easily present that evidence.

I do miss the Netflix of years gone past.
Another approach is to show the box further down the page (the part of the page that is not yet visible on the view port). Assuming that the request latency is low, the box will be fully loaded when user scrolls to it.

I found combining both the shimmer UI approach and this usually makes the injection of dynamic content less disruptive to user flow.
I totally get where you are coming from and I agree to your general premise of judging and evaluating the skills actually needed for the job.

However, your comment seems to miss the point and context of this story. It's about craftsman doing car manufacturing, so a test in dexterity and skill with your hands isn't completely out of line like you make it sound with your IT example. But even more importantly, this isn't about employment, it's about reaching a special status of excellence after at least 25 years of experience and ample time to prepare for this challenge, which doesn't just show skill and dexterity, but also patience and willingness to learn an otherwise useless skill. There is intrinsic value to the last part that often gets overlooked.

That’s making a lot of assumptions. This isn’t the sort of model that you could base such a simulation on. It’s glorified autocomplete. (Impressive for what it is, but unreliable.)

The opioid crisis is a difficult topic, but the role of legal opioids in it is highly contested.

Note that the rate of opioid prescription in the US had dropped by nearly 50% since 2012 [1], while the overdose rate has more than doubled [2]][3]. Meanwhile the same crackdown that has led to a huge decline in prescriptions has also led to a decrease in the amount prescribed, to the extent that there is strong evidence it is harming patients because doctors are so afraid of losing their license they are unwilling to prescribe the correct therapeutic dose to patients.

A study in JAMA recently found that when doctors reduce the dosage of pain medication prescribed to long term opioid therapy, it leads to a threefold increase in suicide attempts and a 69% increase in overdoses[4]. In other words, the federal guidelines adopted to try and ensure that the drug was less readily available from doctors and prescribed in smaller doses seems likely to have cost a significant number of lives.

There don't seem to be easy answers, and the driving forces behind (and possible solutions to) the massive increase in overdose deaths in the US remain elusive. But at a minimum a simple model of "it's caused by doctors giving people prescriptions for painkillers" seems to not be supported by evidence at this time.

I don't think so, or perhaps we have had multiple golden ages of audio?

The article talks about the "receiver becomes king". How about streaming services or the mp3 player/iPod.

I'd say the biggest golden age was when anyone could play any song, from almost any artist anytime, anywhere. In the 90's when I grew up if I wanted to listed to a particular song, I'd have to walk down to my local store and buy the single or the album, walk back home and play it on our CD receiver.

Nowadays the day the song is released I can listen to that song immediately and better yet, I can share with my friends and have them listen to it immediately.
This, imo. Netflix did the exact same thing.

I have a basic problem with Sabine's claims. In a response comment she says: "No signal analysis can confirm that the signal was of astrophysical origin."

I know nothing about the actual hardware. But I can reasonably speculate that LIGO can afford to have local atomic clocks. So they can timestamp their observations to nanosecond precision.

Given the finite speed of light, the candidate astrophysical events are necessarily detected many milliseconds apart. There can only be two ways these potential events would correlate:

1) there are so many many possible false positives constantly happening that there is some reasonable probability of this correlation occurring by chance.

or 2) a highly sophisticated "goof" or fraud. Someone could presumably set up some local source near each detector and spoof a signal. E.g. carefully "wiggle" large masses, each only a few km away from each detector.

So, if it's not astrophysical, can Sabine tell us which it is? False positive? Goof?
Whether it's good or bad for creator or viewers is irrelevant.

You know that hum you get when mains powered audio get gets a certain kind of interference? That's 60Hz (or 50Hz depending on where you are) of moving air. It's not the 50Hz electromagnetism you h4ear though, it's that getting picked up by the amplifier and played out through the speakers which move the air.

87Hz is right about the second lowest F key on a piano. (the 21 key up from the lowest note on an 88key piano), or the low E string on a guitar at the first F fret.

> I am not sure what "Soviet-era debt" has to do with it (that debt was very soft, was rolled over multiple times in the early 90s, and wasn't related to Russia's problems).

A large portion of their foreign denominated debt was from the Soviet era -- just a few years prior to 1998 they committed to repaying nearly $100 billion of that old debt. Russia was accepted into the "Paris Club" based on a valuation of their sovereign assets -- 1/4 of which were loans due to them from the Soviet era from Cuba/Vietnam and other satellite countries that had no capability to repay those loans. So the Soviet Era debt was a big portion of their liability and made up a substantial portion of their assets.

None of these things are remotely similar to the US situation of almost universally US debt denominated in USD. So I think GP is spot on when they say there's 0 chance of a currency crisis.
Is there much Common Lisp to this framework or is it incidental and something that could be in any language? I guess I don’t mind either way.

And does this just let you do html/browser events in CL or does it have some solutions for dealing with the complexity of maintaining a correct view? I.e. is it trying to solve the problem that JavaScript is not CL, that JavaScript can’t easily access server resources, or the problem that react tries to solve?
Alternatively: without this new source of revenue, auto manufacturers will be less able to compete on price and maintain the same margins. As a consumer, I don't get to decide whether I'd like a "repairable" car that doesn't harvest my data for $X, or am willing to settle for a data-harvesting, proprietary vehicle for $(X - Y) - the state has made that choice on my behalf and decided the latter should be illegal to sell to me (read: for me to purchase).

That $Y probably ends up being small enough that it doesn't matter to the average high-paid HN reader, but consumer prices do matter to people at the margins. There's a reason ad-supported Kindles exist, even if I personally would never buy one.
