Most people are just performing the narrative that they use to shape their life in front of you (and the rest of the world). When someone comes at you overwhelmed with a disempowering emotion (e.g. locked up by anger, envy, snark, etc), how they behave has very little to do with who you are or what you did.

The first time this really hit home with me was when I was dating a girl who laughed at inappropriate times (e.g. it was extremely amusing to her how much my ski boots would squish my feet the first few days of the season). It was only after I broke up with her (for unrelated reasons) and saw her go through her own struggles that I learned that her family of origin was horrible and there was no one to comfort her when she would get hurt. Laughing was her way of dealing with the emotions of physical injury because she didn't know how to soothe herself or others.

Anyone who has the misfortune of having a friend or family member get ensnarled by the Qovid / Trump / populist zeitgeist can see that most of these people have gone through immense emotional suffering (often involving betrayal by a government agency, big business, or spouse), and are just bereft of the self awareness to understand what is going on with their emotions.

So yes, don't take anything personal. It almost never is.
Many cases of front running involved 3rd parties with access to client information. Anyway, my point was legally the information may be protected even if the protocol is open, though I seriously doubt that it would be considered so stranger results have happened.
Between this and DALL-E 2, I’ve been ruminating on David Hilbert’s old quip about a student: “For a mathematician, he did not have enough imagination. But now he is a poet, and everything is fine.”

As someone with experience in both STEM and the arts, I don’t feel particularly bad about saying that some “creative” pursuits are more creative than others, and my rough thesis is that the ones on the higher end of the scale are the ones that will take longer to fall to AI.

Representational painting is, at the end of the day, a somewhat mechanical problem, so it’s not too surprising that AI is rapidly catching up to humans there. “Draw me a cat eating ice cream on the beach” is a fairly well-defined request with a clear range of acceptable solutions.

I think the creativity exhibited in a long-form written work like say, Plato’s “Republic”, is of a much higher degree than your average painting or short poem. Not only is it an aesthetically beautiful work, but it contains a great deal of novel (for its time) intellectual content as well, filtered through the personal perspective of the author, and organized in an elaborate logical structure. When it comes to these types of large-scale creative works, AI hasn’t even begun to tackle the problem yet.
I was hanging out with a girl who worked to verify the authenticity of social media profiles. She saw a number of computer generated profiles. One that stuck with her had a line, “Every year I look for a raise, but it never comes.”

Since it’s computer generated, it’s not a story about someone’s experience. It’s not a communique from one human to another. I thought it was like tap dancing on the keyboard of the human mind, and when the computer lands an evocative line, which we thought this was, it has something to say about ourselves.

My hope with computer generated poetry is that we might be able to use it know ourselves better.

I have noticed in the US more than anywhere else I've lived, the most important thing to everyone seems to be that no one gets anything unfairly. I've noticed more with Conservatives because of the noise they make about things like welfare freeriders, election fraud etc, but i imagine it applies to Liberals as well when talking about other issues.

People seem to genuinely prefer letting poor people starve over accidently giving a less-poor person free food. I find it extremely frustrating.
Never played EVE, but in X2 The Threat, the internal scripting system was exposed to the player in the game ui to allow scripting anything in the game you want. I ended up writing elaborate trading and defense procedures to manage my 100+ fleet of traders, factories, sector patrols and escort ships. Fun times.
I used to live on a semi-busy street.

About once an hour a motorcycle would drive by so loud it would set off multiple car alarms that would then blare for ten to fifteen minutes.

This might sound very annoying.

But after countless months of this your mortal coil just dissolves into an entity of pure hatred and you completely transcend the material plane.
when they say buy the dip, they refer to buying the stock market index (like S&P), not individual stocks like a tulip.
These things that involve some people being labelled distinguished, or of distinguished taste, is not actually those people being distinguished but just a branding that marks them as such and then them being accepted as such by people who are willing to just accept that blindingly and spend money around that experience and arrangement and then talk to each other about such mostly fake enterprise usually with multiple “you know.. you know” in a sentence. It’s just a market producing something that they convinced its target consumers that they need it, they’d enjoy it; and the consumers believe it.

I believe I saw this specific charade from very close when I had the opportunity to taste fantastic 4-5-6 Euro wine bottles in Europe. “Oh, so woody”, “smoky”, “that’s peach, isn’t it?”, “No? Pineapple? Yes yes yes. I thought so. Of course, of course”, “Exquisite”, “I can almost taste the earth”, “You know it makes you hear the rain drops as it goes past your tongue”.
Your strategy sounds like "pick winning stocks"? A strategy which has been show to produce (on average) worse returns than index investing.

Index investing has produced a ~200% return in the past 15 years (from 2007 peak to now). Not sure what you mean by "a chance of seeing a profit in your lifetime".

> What is the point of 99% of them?

It depends on the poem. It's not a tool (and of course even tools have many uses, including uses for which they weren't intended) or a project, with some defined purpose.

Many, encountering poems, understandably don't know what to do next. It's outside their experience. It's not a puzzle or a secret code; much of the poetry of the past was the popular art of its day, before recorded and broadcast arts. Everyone read it, if they could read. If John Lennon had been an artist in the 19th century, and could only play music for the people in a small room and wanted to convey their vision much ore widely, wouldn't poetry be a way to convey it? Publish a book and reach the world. What would Lennon write if restricted only to words? Imagine what Lennon would put into each syllable, trying to say it all without a note of an instrument, without even the intonation of a voice.

So read it. Don't be fooled by its length - it's nothing at all like other text with the same number of words - but be patient, give it time as if it was a short story. Be curious, explore it, explore the mind behind it and its vision, completely independent of yours (put your own aside completely - you are interested in them for this moment). I've read much poetry and it often is obscure to start - in fact, the first reading usually is just basic familiarization - and it reveals itself more and more as I explore it. It can be a transportive experience.
> japan is a pretty small country

It's not. It has the 11th most populous country in the world. Sure, it ranks lower in terms of area but it's still much larger than a median nation state. Japan is actually slightly larger than Germany. Nobody ever says Germany is a pretty small country.
I have family and friends to be joyful with. I want my coworkers to shut up and do their job.
ML has reached a level of maturity and ubiquity that it is having an effect on almost every area of computing. I have personally seen applications for ML that have moved the needle of consumer electronics applications. A lot of this is old hat stuff at this point but there is also a ton of value. Things like finding the white balance in photos, the next letter on a keyboard or how quickly to charge a phone are all areas that benefit from simple ml.

I would for one would really appreciate it if Apple photos had a decent search function.

Maybe these don’t move the needle as much as Wall Street analysts hope but these marginal improvements add up in a highly competitive space and I can’t see a world where mobile manufacturers turn their backs on ML.

Why do we neglect poetry, anyway? After Mother Goose there's a great lacuna in poetic education up until, I suppose, a possible Literature degree. In school we study and restudy novels and Shakespeare-as-a-novel, which (despite the method of teaching) sets up students to enjoy novels. But we study poetry not at all, or only rarely. (Let alone long-form poetry!) And certainly there's a market for poetry: after all, rap is poetry, and the best examples of rap are up there with the greats.

I need to amend my previous question, actually. Both poetry and prose have fairly popular public outlets in the form of the novel and rap. (Of course rap is a specific form of poetry, but the popular novel tends to take a stereotyped form as well: the romance, the detective story, formerly the pulp adventure...) The best examples of popular novels and rap ascend to the status of high art (really the best type of high art, the high art that is also low art.) But, crucially, a novel reader whose interest is piqued by very good popular novels can fairly seamlessly transition into reading literary fiction, as it shares in large part the form and characteristics of the novel. The rap listener awed by, e.g. Kendrick Lamar's lyricism, has no such path to literary poetry. How do we expect poetry to thrive in these conditions?

And that's not even getting into the historical conditions which mean many people dismiss rap music.
i agree! it's been percolating for a very long time in my head. i was envisioning a paper that shows how traffic analysis can be used to identify activities in the encrypted stream and then a cbr patch to ameliorate it.

where it gets complicated is avoiding creation of new side channels. you need a very stable clock for pumping out the data and as you hint at, congestion control to avoid latency by actively adjusting the bitrate.

i was looking at doing this in the kernel implementation of wireguard, but those parts of the kernel didn't seem a good fit for this kind of time sensitive constant spinning algorithm.

if anyone is interested in this, would love to collaborate.
Every other country did what the Fed did for the same reason: We've experienced (and are still experiencing) a once a century global pandemic. The measures to limit pandemic deaths would have completely destroyed the economy had the governments and their associated banks not taken the measures they took to support people during this difficult time.

It's not the Feds fault, it's the pandemic.
Paraphrasing:

> > > covid didn't do enough to improve our overpopulation problem

> > wow, you're nice

> emotion has no part here

Stalin put it better than you: one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. You're playing with statistics. May you never find yourself near the levers of power.
My grandfather had $3M invested in the market in 2007. Lost $1M at the bottom in 2008, but didn't do anything other than rebalance. Now worth $8M.

Either you fret over every price move and likely buy/sell at the worst times, or you invest with a long-term vision and stop tracking the price moves everyday.
>The entire Snapdragon 865 package cost manufacturers $150-$160. The Pentium Silver N5000 retails for $90-100. The 860 would presumably be even cheaper than the 865.

Sign. I would be surprised if dell is buying the Pentium N5000 along with chipset for more than $60. And that is excluding marketing rebate.
>So the tank rounds are something like $500 each.

I was surprised that the military could get anything for $500, so I looked up tank round prices. They are more like $5000-$10000 (M829A4).
I basically never make any letter swap typos at all. I guess it's more common with faster typists that are using more fingers at once, and going fast enough that they aren't thinking one individual letters?
We've been using this one: https://www.w3schools.com/html/ He's had no trouble at all following along and using their tooling. I've been mostly hands-off.

I'm about to graduate him from "do it in just the browser" to using GitHub pages. That way he can have an HTML site that's "his" and start putting the pieces together.
All I hear with the waffling is "we want to force everyone back, but we're not sure we can get away with it"
Cyclists in general get a bad rap. You can't tell me the baseball cards in my spokes are loud enough to warrant bottles being thrown, or remarks, but here we are.
I have used this to buy cars with great success (including getting well below MSRP during the pandemic). I even have a cheap aliexpress wedding ring I wear so I can more convincingly talk about "my wife" as the decision maker in the negotiations.

I doubt this would work in any other context because the sales / negotiations are less in-person (e.g. buying a house, where you only really go through your realtor I think; idk still haven't bought yet...).
I meant “why do you expect anyone to be able to foresee the future?”
Have you seen the movie Margin Call?

There’s a great scene where the CEO of a Goldman-style bank is recapping the last 100+ years of global financial collapses and he mentions, “we just can’t help ourselves.”

Eve Online is beginning to sound more & more like a normal 9-5 office job, just with a scifi space opera wrapper around it.
The meta-point is that the usage of complex words is off-putting to those trying to learn something for the first time. There's always an element of "I don't know what this is, so I can skip it" but better to keep topics simple and approachable.
Same. I was pleased to find a simple wired mouse in my Raspi 400 kit. May buy a couple more of the mice by themselves.

I do not always like wires, but wireless is kind of a mess. Pairing, charging, quality of info transfer problems...

So, I bought a bunch of wired, high quality earbuds, am going to to get some mice too. Those things just work and the quality/consistency of input / output is something I value way more than not having a wire.
> Not much has really changed in Japan since the fuedal period,

Hard to take a comment that starts with this seriously.
Yeah, except that switching grocery stores is practically zero cost, so any store that does silly shenanigans gets spanked almost immediately.

Also, grocery stores are about a million billion gazillion times more transparent about trading with you relative to trading with other shoppers.

Same lunch thing over here. I do enjoy meeting my team for lunch. But it's not any easier for me to get work done in the office and the theoretical face to face collaboration doesn't quite seem to happen. We've offices in a bunch of countries anyways and are pretty distributed in my project.

I'm an engineering manager and some of my fellow managers seem to feel very strongly about wanting people to come to the office despite 2+ years of evidence that we can work remotely. It's tough because everyone is different. Some people might benefit from the ritual of coming into the office, the additional social connections, and to some degree the peer pressure. Some people are very effective working from home. Some people live close by, some people live far away.

We have a lot of space in our offices and lots of meeting rooms so no real noise issues or feeling cramped. If I had my own space with a door and a 5 minute commute then I'd probably go more often but I have neither...

Hard to say where we go from here. I do think having the team in physical proximity has advantages for collaboration. But the other pieces to take advantage of that have to be in place as well. I've done some of my best work while working physically closing with others but I've also had some of the worst distraction heavy environments where I got little done. As long as companies are just optimizing for cost per employee then maybe they should just sell their office buildings...
I have a million dollar bet to make you...
Using QQQ here seems like cherry picking (vs SPDR).
Just imo, I think some of the "games" are fair play. Spoofing only became illegal when computerised trading started. When it was just humans trading electronically, everyone knew spoofing happened, the evidence was in the order book, and people traded accordingly (and, ofc, spoofing involved taking on monumental levels of risk).

The rules we have are pretty bent. Everything is geared towards transparency but if algos work out your trades are actually moving the price, the liquidity is gone. So vanishing liquidity is okay, but spoofing isn't? Hiding your intention is an innate part of markets, and is a way to defend yourself against other traders.

I actually support more consumer protection, the pump and dumps indicate that some consumers shouldn't be in these markets. But trading has always been the Wild West (and still is but the banditos run the town instead of the Sheriff now).
They blamed inflation in the 1970's on supply side issues as well. Sure, the oil embargo contributed to price increases, but looking back, it was pretty clear it was fed monetary policy that drove most of it. And monetary policy by Volker that fixed it.

No different today. Massively expand the money supply and you (eventually) get inflation. Add in a few supply issues and you amplify the problem. But I agree with you that without the massive monetary expansion, the supply issues would be minor blips.
One of the big wake up calls I had during that time was a friend telling me about Webvan. At the time I was younger and not investing so the conservation was mostly around how great the food was, cheaper than up scale stores and they delivered. The echo that reflected much of the dot com era was as he mentioned "how do they make money doing this". The wild part is the wages they paid was higher than other delivery drivers, I worked in a warehouse at the time and frequently heard of seasoned UPS and FedEx drivers leaving to drive for the company.
Alright man. I can tell you have a big stake in this. Obviously you’re not reading/engaging with the source material. Otherwise you wouldn’t be asking questions that have been answered.

I gave you two court settled situations in which the fourth and fifth amendment don’t apply in the context of imminent threat. The first, for example, law enforcements confrontation with a dangerous individual. Second, the impossible weight put on the govt to observe due process in the face of imminent threats. Please refer to the court cases above. They are cited for a reason. Those are not my words. They are not the words of the executive branch. Those cases/opinions are the words of the judiciary. Refer to them. If Al-awlaki hadn’t been a combatant in a foreign force targeting the US, this may not have applied. But he was.

If he had been in the US the govt couldn't have said that they were unable to attempt to apprehend him—-it wouldn't have been believable. Being in Yemen, and the fact that both the DOD and CIA said it was not possible to launch an operation (given they had attempted, which they said they had) for capture due to extraordinary circumstances, it was not in the govts court to provide due process in the face of imminent threat. In the case of Al-awlaki the self-defense justification holds merit when the United States' response to an armed attack is necessary and proportionate. The United States can invoke self-defense prior to an actual attack.

U.S. citizens who serve as soldiers for the enemy can be shot without trial during military operations but must be afforded a trial as traitors if they can be captured (Which the military apparatus deemed not possible).

For example, before the United States killed him, Al-Aulaqi should have been given notice that he was wanted for treason, or another crime, and that if he refused to return and stand trial, then he would be considered a military target. Functionally, A1-Aulaqi had notice that he was on a kill list. The media had been abuzz about killing him, and his father even filed an unsuccessful lawsuit on his behalf.138 Nonetheless, he did not return to the United States for trial.

You can’t ‘assassinate’ an individual once they enter the throngs of a foreign force. They are considered a legitimate military target. targeted killing" denotes a state's intentional and premeditated use of lethal force through agents acting under color of law against a specific, reasonably unobtainable individual. Targeted killing and assassination are similar but distinct
operations that commentators often conflate. assassinations are killings that are politically motivated and use subterfuge, while targeted killings are military strikes. This distinction is important because President Ronald Reagan's Executive Order 12,333 bans assassination.

Please, just read the documents.
Thanks.

Does anyone have a solid understanding of how QE affects the economy? From what I've read, QE basically stays locked in the financial system as interbank cash. I think this can affect short term interest rates, and therefore affect lending(and money creation by the big banks), but otherwise that money doesn't really drive inflation, at least not directly.

Based on that assumption, the real driver of inflation is the $5.4T in stimulus combined with supply-side shortages.

It's looking to me like inflation is here to stay. On-shoring, demographics(aging boomers), the end of cheap energy and many materials, and other factors seem to be putting the US on a different course than we've been on for ~100 years.
