There used to be a simulator called Chair the Fed [1] that shows the effects of various economic shock and the interest rate movements that's required to stablize the inflation rate and maintain full employment. In a negative demand shock similar to what we just experienced, it requires quite a bit of high real interest rate (Interest rate - Inflation rate) to slowly get inflation back down.

Sadly, they removed the game early in the pandemic and I can't get it to work on archive.org.

Tangential question to anyone reading this: How does uBlock Origin block in-video ads that are in video format? I thought all those are embedded in the video stream and served from the same hosts that serve the video. If not, how has YouTube not changed the way it serves the video to disable such blocking functionality? Note that this is not about text ads that may be overlaid in the video or text ads elsewhere on the YouTube page.
Cavemen are a trope, for sure, but there were cave dwellers, known as troglodytes. There were extensive periods of time where caves represented a really good solution to environmental and climate changes over the last 300,000 years.

Troglodytes were relatively rare, and most prehistoric humans were probably of the nomadic or small village types of hunter gatherer cultures.

Neither Google nor Facebook make any significant profit from selling consumer profits. It's pretty tenuous to claim that their large profits are driving consumer inflation. Amazon makes virtually zero profits in consumer goods. It's high recent profits come from the B2B segments of AWS and advertising. Apple's margins have always been historically high. If anything iPhone concentration in the smartphones has declined since 2017.

The sizable bulk of consumer inflation is being driven by housing, energy, food and used cars. It's extremely tenuous to tie any of this to FAANG profits.
I don't think all bases can be covered, certainly. But neither do I think Apple has been doing a good job of even trying to do a good job of it, at least recently.

Apple clearly put some thought into how the product would be misused, and added some features for that - but then appears to have not bothered having actual (simulated malicious) users test those features to see how they'd bypass them. Things like "removing the speaker" seem oddly trivial, yet there's no indication Apple even thought through that situation. It wouldn't be too difficult to design something in which the deliberate disabling of the speaker rendered the device useless after a few days, yet would be unlikely to trip in normal use. They're pretty well sealed.

"Red teaming" something like this in the early design phases is often useful to be able to figure out how to mitigate these sorts of attacks, and Apple, far too often lately, seems to be in a "...they did what? No, they can't have... we didn't think they'd... ugh, OK, let's add something to support that..." mode.

And if they don't have family sharing support, as seems to be the case from the other comments here, it clearly means they weren't tested with any sort of realistic use case, because "Oh, yeah, my wife's keys in her purse keep making my phone go off when we're driving together" seems a common use case to discover in testing.

I don't think a company should be responsible for all malicious uses, but when those uses seem utterly trivial to manage (remove speaker, your tracking target uses Android and like almost all Android users hasn't downloaded Apple's app to check for AirTags following them), I think they've missed something really important in the design phase.
Yup. I simply exit the process if I'm confronted with this nonsense.

I know they're popular to hate, but I really rate IT recruiters for removing the pain out of job hunting.

For those interested in data supporting diversity comment (~82% geth) - https://www.ethernodes.org/

Re: GP comment - From a "trust" perspective, there is a distinct difference to call out between the integrity of data on the platform, and the trustworthiness of the platform itself (i.e., the ability for centralized control of all data)

In an instance where an L2 is compromised, the potential impact is limited to the integrity of data that individual L2 was contributing to the overall platform.

Those transactions which demand absolute integrity will naturally tend to occur on L1, for this reason. Risk mitigation strategies will develop for those operating on L2 + bridged chains.
IMO the AGPL license implies adequate compensation - you get to have access to the source of any derivatives of your source, thus you're able to benefit from them as they do from you.

And it will stay working as long as you never need to update any of the packages.

The advantage of this approach is that you don't need a separate package management ecosystem, no central hosted registry, no submissions. A bit of code is hosted at a URL, and that's it. It uses the same ES standards as importing any another JS script from your filesystem.

Secondly, this doesn't mean all this code has to be dynamically loaded at runtime. You can still have equivalents of npm install which cache the linked resources locally on your server, perform integrity checks etc (this is exactly how Deno does it).

I am willing to pay for no noise -- straight dope twitter just like I do for YouTube premium. But, Twitter has to remind of some fucking celebrity, some fucking political meltdown, so cultural gossip bullshit and days outrage. There is no way, I could turn this off this. Along with this, the garbage mumbling of the tweets of people I follow based on popularity (as twitter claims) instead of chronological or some other custom organization, I feel works for me.
And if you want it to report out, it has to have an active cell plan, and the power consumption is rather radically higher than "years on a button cell," so the device is bigger, it needs a clear enough view of the sky to get a GPS signal, etc. They're an awful lot less useful and less discreet. Again, not impossible by any means, but certainly quite a bit less convenient than an AirTag with a removed speaker.

> Don't give your work away if you don't want people to use it.

This about sums it up.

But at the same time, many people feel like there should be another way to do things. To create code, libraries, frameworks or whatever else that many can benefit from, but there also be some sort of a financial gain to make it sustainable, rather than just a hobby.

Recognition is nice, but recognition won't pay your bills or put food on the table (it may help indirectly by opening up new opportunities, but that's a different conversation).

That's why some are looking in the direction of software that's free for non-profits or non-commercial usage, but requires a license to use commercially, yet that's not as easy as one might believe (bureaucracy and legal aspects), as opposed to ticking a checkbox in GitHub or wherever that would say "i'd like to charge money for someone using this commercially" and filling out some other data. There's probably a company or two out there to make software licensing easier for developers, though.

That said, then we are no longer really talking about "open source" anymore, since we're coming up with limitations of who can or can't use the code and for what, that's more like just source available at that point. That's why licenses like Server Side Public License (SSPL) aren't commonly recognized as open source licenses.

So, in summary:

- if your goal is money (now or in the near future) then NO, open source is not worth it (at least if you expect a degree of certainty)
- if that's not a concern (you have a job) or maybe it's something you just do out of passion or for the experience, then YES, it's probably worth it
Yeah, I haven't been able to figure this part in, especially since a lot of what I like to do in my spare time looks a lot like what I do for work.

I know that the brain has limited reservoirs of chemicals, and limited ability to purge waste products. So just basic theory suggests you'd need "rest" in order to deal with basic limits, regardless of how much you like the activity. I also know that things you "like" take less "effort" to do. So that's bound to effect things. But it's really hard to remove all the gross parts from a given job, and I find those parts tend to become the limiter in terms of effort.

But what I've found, is that if I'm doing dev work during the day, and I try to do too much similarly difficult work in my off hours, it brings me that much closer to burnout. Maybe I just don't like dev work enough... but even doing things like playing games competitively I notice my rank goes up when I'm mentally well rested, and goes down when I'm mentally exhausted. And while I don't particularly care about rank, I've seen people spiral down in rank as they continue to try to "recover" from losing rank by playing more that day.

I imagine that encoding the ads into videos would be too expensive. Ads change often and are personalized, so the video streams would also need to be personalized and couldn't be cached and served from a simple edge CDN anymore. Instead each ad is it's own stream which is loaded (or in this case, not loaded, so instead of blocking playback entirely it just skips the ad).
> as it arguably is here

That may be understating it a bit. I honestly can't decide which is greater.

Airtags as-is are nerfed for non-technical reasons as to make them more or less useless to me, despite their ability to be incredibly useful.

For example:

Due to the nag/anti-stalking alerts I can't put them on dog collars due to day-care visits. No way for others to whitelist a tag on their phone, or any way to silence it.

Same goes now for the car. It's annoying to just toss one in each trunk in case of theft or whatnot, since the cars are shared.

The privacy concerns have more or less turned this product into something of a very narrow usage band - aside from a personal bookbag or whatnot I don't see many other realistic uses at this time. Not useful for hiding in my power tools, etc. etc.

I had pretty high hopes for these for some peace of mind (dogs), and I live in a high crime area so being able to track my expensive items has proven useful in the past. I was excited about expanding on this use until they started crippling them.

I'm really curious why employers care at all about your past employment. To me it always seem just a an advertisement if that.

How I and my colleagues got hired and makes 100% sense to me:

1. Skim their github

2. Ask questions about their stuff on github or some past work they shared

3. Give them a realistic task and a week to solve and push to github. Evaluate it - very easy to gather the motivation and skill.

4. Evaluate performance for a month or two. If they say what they are it will appear immediately.

Of course some psychopathic companies want you to solve shit on the spot, which is kinda fine if it reflects actual work culture.

They're really not. It's happening in public. But even regulators are having to fight to pry every scrap of information about how it's happening out of Tesla's hands, and it is a constant fight to get even the tiniest fragments of data from them.

Musk claims disengagements are decreasing. I'm sure he'll be sure to have Tesla release that data, then, given Tesla's "corporate commitment to transparency". Any day now. Right after Trump releases his tax returns, no doubt.

If the way fiat currencies work is constant devaluation in the name of increased short term spending, then it makes the currency utterly terrible to invest and save in in the long term.

If this is how its supposed to work, then your money is a toxic asset which should be handed off as quickly as possible to someone else.

And so if no one actually wants this asset, then it makes it valueless.

I would like something explained to me.

When webapp logic happens on the client side, that results in slow applications (n.b. for normal users on low-end hardware, not developers on high-end hardware) due to CPU costs.

When webapp logic happens on the server side, that results in slow applications (n.b. for users on unreliable residential, mobile cellular, or rural connections, not those living with fiber) due to network latency.

Doesn't Liveview (and related techs) simply make the slowness a stronger function of internet quality (as opposed to available processing power), instead of actually making the application less dependent on either of those factors for performance?

An individual biological neuron can compute a variety of functions, including max and xor, that a single perceptron can't (e.g., https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aax6239 ). In general, one needs a fairly elaborate ANN to approximate the behavior of a single biological neuron.

OTOH, a three-layer network is a universal function approximator and RNNs are universal dynamical systems approximators, so they are sort of trivially equivalent.
i don't know about bitcoin but you do have a point about the current spin being put on high inflation. High inflation is universally known as bad for an economy.. until now for some reason.
Nope. The GPL, AGPL, etc. requires of anyone who changes the code to give the changed code to the users of that changed code. Not to the original author. It has absolutely nothing to do with compensation; it’s purely a question of freedom for the users of the code, so that the users, in turn, can further change the software as they see fit for their own reasons and purposes.
