Inflation has always been a risk, what's happening "now" is that the risk has been realized.

For that reason, all the best ways to deal with inflation have just shot up in price to the point where yields are unattractive.

It's like asking "where do I get a cheap umbrella now that it's raining?", it's basically too late, the trick is to account for the risk before it is realized.

I see insightful comments from both sides of this issue, but what worries me is that most solutions seem to rely on technical solutions. I'm a technology-optimist and materialist at heart, but I don't think technological solutions are the best way to safeguard liberty. Even if they are, there's no reason that we should accept to live in an antagonistic relationship with the authorities. In liberal democracies, the authorities should be on our side, and legal safety nets should be in place to prevent them from straying too far from this if they're acting in bad faith.

(Purely) technological solutions to the problems in this thread remind me a bit of the American thinking that people need to own assault rifles to make sure the government doesn't overstep. Dude, even if you win, the world's become a very bad place if you find yourself in a shooting match with your government. How about instead reforming said government and instituting legal safeguards for your liberties?

I have the feeling that as I get older, I have less energy and pure grit to power through things, but I'm also better at focusing what actually matters and being more systematic in my progress. The positives outweigh the negatives, and I wish I could impose how my brain works now on my younger self.

I recently went back to university, and they tend to have exams that favor the young: lots of memorization and much more questions than there is time to answer. So I probably would have done academically better with my younger brain, however, I feel like I understand the material and the context much better than I would have before.

Gas station food in America is, as a rule, disgusting. The worst are the corporate truck stops that have 2 liter sodas and “cheeseburger” sausages on those greased roller-heaters.

That said, in parts of the country you’ll find single stores and regional chains that have things like daily-fresh egg salad sandwiches, non-frozen pizza and (oh god) amazing local beef jerky in a brown paper bag.

I’ve lived in Japan and I think for the foreigner the gob-smacking nature of Japanese convenience food is just that it doesn’t suck.

On one or two occasions in the US I’ve found gas stations where the owner also sold their own ethnic food: Indian in NC and Ecuadorian in VA. That’s always worth the gamble!

> I drive it infrequently enough that the cost of just making the body of a new car and nothing else would outweigh the savings.

Even trashing your working ICE car to buy an EV is a net negative if your car is still running fine. Unless you drive a _lot_, the least polluting car you can get is the one you already have. And that's not even talking about the energy sources used to produce the energy to charge the EV....

What we're witnessing is the last creation of capitalism, aka "green capitalism", but it's still about mindlessly consuming, you just get to feel good about it regardless of the reality.

> For example, a typical medium sized family car will create around 24 tonnes of CO2 during its life cycle, while an electric vehicle (EV) will produce around 18 tonnes over its life. For a battery EV, 46% of its total carbon footprint is generated at the factory, before it has travelled a single mile.

Not sure there's a reasonable way of measuring my "search engine time" (time actually viewing results? time reading the sites found?) but the vast majority of the time I do spend using them is work time, and the quality of results affects my ability to do my job. It's nigh on impossible to measure, of course, but I suspect even a modest improvement would easily pay for itself at that price point, in my case.

So many incredibly iconic and beautiful cars would be flat out illegal to sell today (in the EU at least). I'm not dismissing the lack of innovation (and more accurately risk aversion) as a factor. Regulation does drive a chunk of it though.

They're describing making friends. Granted, putting it next to a financial investment as some sort of equal is unconventional but it makes sense. It's not like having a wide social safety net is some sort of modern untested phenomenon.
If these companies have 90% of the world’s smart people, why aren’t their products lean, efficient and a pleasure to use. We’re 50+ years on in the business and I can’t say things are noticeably more stable now than previously. Yeah, way more eye candy but we didn’t have to reboot systems much at all. Broader user base, certainly, but the machines of the 80’s were pretty widespread, and there’s a lot of gaming consoles as well.

Maybe they’re not all smart, but “smart”. Maybe they’re being forced to do stupid things on overly tight schedules by the evil folks in marketing and management. Maybe they’re just crap developers, as merely making things work is craftsmanship and who likes to be a technician.

If you’re really one of the “off the right side” of the bell curve don’t sell out for the money, put a dent in the universe. Can’t take it with you.
I've heard it used often in the past (like 10 - 15 years ago) by some of my Ron Paul loving anti-Fed libertarian friends that were always talking about how we need to move back to the gold standard.

Where to build specific medical facilities is based on age and population. A community of 25 year old heterosexuals is going to have kids, where a community of 85 year olds is going to have geriatric issues. It also impacts the needs for transportation etc.

I guess the non-creepy application I'm seeing for the future of this research is the seamless conversion of a 2D image into 3D for when 3D projectors become more commonplace and perhaps overtake the ubiquity of flatscreens on our devices. And I am not sure, but it might also be applicable to the video-cam issue where we want to make it look as though the person we're having a video conference with is looking at us instead of the screen image of us and vice-versa.

> As I understand programs like BERT, they largely look at the words adjacent to a given word, without paying attention to any structure.

That's completely opposite to what happens. In BERT all words are related to all words so information circulates in one step between all pairs. This combinatorial interaction happens on multiple parallel "heads" and sequential "layers", so it can express complex symbol manipulation tasks.

In GPT information circulates between all pairs of words but only from past to the future, not the other way around (it is autoregressive).

What you are talking about is the RNN or LSTM. They only see the adjacent tokens. This causes an informational bottleneck which limits their expressive power.

> Is there a way to force a neural net to construct hierarchical models? And of course the hierarchies are not different for every word all nouns behave more or less the same, all intransitive verbs behave in a different way, etc.

I use eurodns.com because they have a wide range of TLDs (like .so) and are much cheaper than Gandi.
Gandi lost their customers' data 2 years ago and if memory serves, their CEO blamed ZFS RAID(Z) "backup" which failed.

We're talking domains not storing data but I would think twice before trusting company with CEO referring to data existing on a single computer as "backed up".
No, Microsoft shouldn't make systems actively damage themselves if they notice they are pirated. Technology should serve the user first, and the author second, even if pirated.

It's fine to refuse to function if the system detects it's pirated on the first boot. It's not fine to do the same after an auto-update. It's definitely not fine to do any substantial damage like erasing data or server configuration.

Even Linux gets pirated. It's incredibly easy to comply with GPL, and yet companies like Ubiquiti still don't do it. Should your UniFi network cease to function out of a sudden because Linux kernel devs decided to bring it all down?

> use the built in mobile uplink to gather massive amounts of data about usage, e.g. how often the car is "pushed hard", or driven dangerously. Nobody knows exactly how they will use that, maybe to limit guarantees? - but if the cars is yours and yours only, this shouldn't matter, right?

Why wouldn't it matter? About 10 years ago, a friend bought a brand new VW Polo and after 2000km ended up with warped brake discs. When he went to the VW dealer to have them replaced under warranty, the dealer refused, claiming that the warrant only covers stuff like engine and bodywork and not consumable parts like brake discs, and also that brake discs should not warp under normal usage, which is one of the conditions of the warranty to be valid, and since they are warped, the dealer claimed that the owner mush have been driving his car outside of the normal usage specs the car is rated for and under which the warranty applies. I guess that telemetry will help manufacturers validate or invalidate warranty claims.
I imagine most people use it mean things like hamburgers, ribs, BBQ, NY Style Pizza etc. Basically the stuff you would get if you went to an 'American' restaurant in a European country.

> Basically on a mass production scale it is always going to be cheaper just to put every feature in one device and build a billion of them.

When it comes to physical widgets, there's a limit to how many you could practically have on one device. I think the real value here is that it could be open to market to allow a real diversity of physical augments allowing people to improvise devices that are unlikely to be manufactured into a single form factor, but might be perfect for their niche use case.

That's a prejudice that you're supporting with anecdata. Saying "PhDs make bad programmers" is not any different in that regard from saying "women make bad programmers". But at least you're agreeing with me that resumes are not worthless ;-) ...as, apparently, you find them useful for screening out people with PhDs who therefore make bad programmers.

The fact is that there is such a thing as an "impressive resume". There seem to be people out there eager to dismiss the value of those. Frequently an explanation will be that they themselves don't have one and are engaging in cognitive dissonance reduction. In fact, one can say more generally that psychological forces will act powerfully in such a way as to make hiring managers want to hire people who are just like them, even when they themselves are worse than the best candidates they could hire.

That's the reason why having an analytically well-reflected hiring process, instead of just hiring who you like, is important, and resumes have an important role to play in that.

"But let me say why age seems to have the effect it does. In the first place if you do some good work you will find yourself on all kinds of committees and unable to do any more work. You may find yourself as I saw Brattain when he got a Nobel Prize. The day the prize was announced we all assembled in Arnold Auditorium; all three winners got up and made speeches. The third one, Brattain, practically with tears in his eyes, said, ``I know about this Nobel-Prize effect and I am not going to let it affect me; I am going to
remain good old Walter Brattain.'' Well I said to myself, ``That is nice.'' But in a few weeks I saw it was affecting him. Now he could only work on great problems.

When you are famous it is hard to work on small problems. This is what did Shannon in. After information theory, what do you do for an encore? The great scientists often make this error.

That's the problem with this kind of things. They mostly attract people interested in tech, but those kind of people are usuallt already working in tech. As much as I love those things, the last thing I want when I lock my laptop is start coding and fiddling with electronic devices. I either have to take care of the kids or go for a bicycle ride, spend time with my partner, have a beer or the sea/beach or all of the above and in no particular order. I need so much to be outdoor when I finish my work day I barely find time to make music although I love doing that.

The people who could do that are the people who have time to spend hours watching Netflix series but usually they are the lazy type and not interested in that kind of things.

Unless it is used by a school most of those things end up in drawer not to be used again.

Nostr [1] seems interesting.
