I may be wrong about this, but my understanding of the term is that “late-stage” refers to the system turning towards ever more predatory and self destructive methods of profit extraction to continue “growing” once the easy money to be made from resource extraction is exhausted.
Yup. It should, and in general it is.. Look at operating systems, compared to <insert random app>.

Somehow programmers care about the big O notation, but not when it's about other people's time.
They do make use of it, to protect themselves. I've never seen evidence of police using that equipment to swoop in and save anyone.

Soldiers use that equipment in a very different way, are way better trained and compensated, and have a very different set of rules to work with. And very rarely is it their mission to swoop in and save innocent people.

In addition to what snapetom said, there are about 4400 annual vet jobs and 3200 new grads. Someone is going to miss out.

Graduates who want to make money will go to commercial or fisheries operations, which pay better overall. We're in the bay area, one of the highest-demand regions in the highest-demand state. There aren't many people left to compete over. Corps are currently offering 5-6 figure sign-ons and bonuses in our area. Even if the salary can be matched and they accept, there's still the tech shortage snapetom mentioned. Those people are often commuting from places like Tracy to have reasonable housing costs and many have simply left the industry entirely. You can raise salaries, but there's still only a limited number of people with RVT licenses.
OK, so we've solved school shootings, let's say (ignoring that when it actually matters ~everyone agrees removing guns makes things safer, let's just grant that for the sake of argument). How about when it's not kids, with relatives nearby? Vegas shooting? Malls? You gonna run in and risk your life to save some strangers? These cops didn't, despite guns and training and all that "warrior mentality" shit.

[EDIT] My main point is just that we already know how to reduce gun violence. People with power, even if they're publicly extremely pro-gun, don't want people with guns around them unless they're paying them or they're cops. Organizations with the ability to curtail gun possession do so enthusiastically and almost universally, even if their members & leadership claim the solution to shootings is more guns in more places. So we flood the world with more guns and save (let's be extremely generous) 5% of the people who'd have been murdered with guns. Great. Wonderful. Could have done a lot better by doing the opposite, though.
The statistics on the linked page do not distinguish between those three categories. Where are you getting data that #1 and #3 are significant drivers of violent crime associated with drugs?

I would also be careful here because those stats are pulled from the UCR, which is far from a complete or reliable source of data.

H&H is an absolute gem
As Yellen said, the Fed was right about inflation - up until 2022 hit. We were in a vulnerable position, with an extended but not inherently problematic money supply. What happened in 2022 was a mix of:

- an un-clean reopening where many states just dropped restrictions and let people go all of a sudden.

- combined with snarled supply chains.

- combined with a labor shortage.

And then on top of that:

- a war between a major oil exporter (Russia) and a major food exporter (Ukraine).

- COVID lockdowns in China making goods yet more scarce.

The Fed was in a tough spot but made good calls given the information available. Then the new stuff came in and all of a sudden we found ourselves in a pickle. The issue isn't IMO inherently too much money, it's suddenly too little supply.

All the Fed can do is nuke demand. We will not have a good time.
I work in III/V semiconductors. The product development goes like: identify need, design, attempt a proof of concept, DoEs to determine manufacturing costs/viability, repeat until you have a statistically controlled viable process. There is essentially no room for technical creativity like there is in software. If we spent an extra year on our worst performing product (we've done this), we would get at best 5% improvement with iffy reproducibility.

I dont know about construction or batteries.
DivX - wow, that brings back memories of torrenting movies in the mid-00’s.

It really was the only way to get a balance of decent video quality with a reasonable (usually 700MB or less, for CD-video purposes) file size.

My computer was too weak to really play back said DivX files at the time (‘02? ‘03?) - so I would burn them and play them through my Dreamcast with a TV tuner card attached to my computer tower. (I didn’t have a TV of my own, but I had a computer monitor!)

The only other alternatives I knew of at the time were QuickTime (which got big fast when it was longer) and AVI, which; AFAIK, didn’t even use compression and was thusly huge.

It’s not a wonder that DivX is gone now; but for a while, it was just insanely prevelant.

Meeting a superior at 7 AM in your free time as a test to 1. see if you'll do something that is nakedly irrational and wasteful and 2. because a superior told you to is a very negative signal for companies that want to actually get shit done.

>> Social Security unfunded liabilities.

Social Security isn't unfunded. The main issue there is that it invests the money in US treasury bonds. As those bonds mature they reinvest in new bonds. That's all find and dandy, but it creates a system where SS is constantly "buying" bonds and the treasury is constantly "paying" SS. This has historically looked like a flow of money from SS into the treasury. As the boomers retire, the net flow will have to reverse, meaning the treasury will have to pay back a bunch of money that it borrowed from the Social Security administration. That's fine, they have several trillion dollars invested. The big issue is that congress has made a habit of spending other peoples money and sees a huge hole in their budget because of this situation.

Social Security is not an "entitlement" it's more like a contract and congress keeps wanting to default on their end of the deal. The amount a person gets from SS is not much more than their lifetime contributions - the average rate of return for an individual is very low, but that's not what the "problem" is.
That «Education!» was not about knowing robotics. It may not be obvious to some that robots are generally not animals; it is hopefully a very small amount of population, but logically it will exist.

It is more possible that some people know that the robot is not an animal, but the perceptual patterns cause a sensational reaction in them, and they may prefer the sensation - an hijacking - to the factual truth (which includes that what superficially corresponded to patterns in the area of "«mean»" are engineering tests on implemented balance systems), overriding it. Some may not even have had to consider sensation (of course, the "sensation" of the common use of "sensational") topically, or may encourage it on a spontaneous value given to "feeling". There, instead, education leads.

Then, again, there will be those that will make a statement of their «aesthetic preferences» as a demand, and not realize that they are personal, subjective, and that to be presented in the common arena grounds, good arguments are required.

Education is a system to refine the mind to sophistication, which has the collective benefit of reducing noise. Which makes it a social concern. Which should get a priority proportional to what the news reveal.
Yeah, I know. 24 bucks as well. I can probably buy a few live chickens myself with that kind of scratch.

I use a 27" 4K IPS @ 144Hz. I upgraded from a 60HZ 1440p at the same size, and it was a massive upgrade. Once you go to this pixel density, it's hard to go back. Similarly to 120Hz, if you do any sort blender / modeling, or other graphical applications - it's a completely different experience.

Both the pixel density and refresh rate, coupled with a backlight onto the wall, reduce the eye strain so much. I can't imagine sitting a foot away from a TV.
I’m scolding them for using profanity in the first word of their first sentence. There is no way to have a constructive dialogue with someone when they show that much anger off the bat. That sort of hostility just breeds more venom which won’t lead anywhere productive. If we’re just hear to air our grievances. Then it’s fine, be angry, show that emotion. Feats of strength are next. Someone can bring out the festivus pole.

But I don’t think that’s what this forum is about. If his problem really is my lack of evidence he should say that instead of spewing obscenities.

> you're saying premature optimization isn't the root of all evil. Maybe it's time to retire this tired 'conventional wisdom'

Funny you mention it. I have a bit of a habit now of reminding people what the remainder of Knuth’s quote actually was.

“We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.”

The irony of walking away with the impression that Knuth was saying to not do optimization is that his point was the exact opposite of that, he was emphasizing the word premature, and then saying we absolutely should optimize, after profiling.

This all agrees completely with the article’s takeaways: build it right first, then measure, and then optimize the stuff that you can see is the slowest.
No doubt an emotionally charged and complicated system, but surprised it’s taken this long to realize what most would see as obvious.

Nevertheless happy that’s it’s trending in the right direction.

That's understandable but forcing it by inflated gas prices is not an approach I can support.
Bingo.

My quarterly deliverables are defined by the product guy above me. His priorities are defined by the product org. Ultimately, the CTO/CEO are the ones that set and tell them to allocate stuff.

I can RAISE issues that need to be addressed to product, but generally speaking, dev doesn't have a seat at the table when it comes to prioritizing stuff. Instead, that's all driven by sales. Sure the company SAYS they do, but the practice isn't there. Dev requests are routinely ignored to the point that dev stops making them.

Perhaps this is just my org that's dysfunctional, doesn't feel that way though.
"he's admitted mistakes, and has not lost the trust of most Americans"

Has he? Which mistakes? I've never seen him admit any of the actual big mistakes like:

- Lockdowns didn't work (now the position of the German government's official enquiry).

- Masks don't work either.

- Deliberately lying about scientific topics to try and manipulate behaviour wasn't a good idea (he's admitted doing this to the New York Times, twice!)

- The vaccines were massively oversold.

Even Bill Gates has admitted the latter, but I don't recall Fauci ever doing so.

As for not having lost the trust of most Americans, maybe so, but that's just a testament to the shocking level of propaganda he benefits from. He's certainly lost the trust of anyone paying attention. The man is a self-confessed serial liar: he lied about masks, and he lied about herd immunity thresholds, both times making scientific claims about supposedly medical facts and then later changing his position, saying he was just trying to manipulate people's behavior. This is all on the record. Anyone who continues to believe this man about anything is certainly an idiot - fool me twice, right?
Pretty much. He's going to have to force demand to recession levels to deal with the supply issues still going on from covid and now the war. It's like people forget that inflation is not only too much money, but too much money chasing too few goods.
For example how’s he going to fix housing inflation that’s due to the horribly broken housing supply that was basically a time bomb left by single family zoning.
Not for high-rises, but anything under five stories it's pretty common.

> Notably, this was done during the 1990s Clinton administrations and it worked quite well.

- in the summer of 1995, the Clinton administration admitted that “balancing the budget is not one of our top priorities.”

"It worked quite well" meaning:

"We have a balanced budget today that is mostly a result of 1) an exceptionally strong economy that is creating gobs of new tax revenues and 2) a shrinking military budget." - Stephen Moore

https://archive.ph/OD4nl#selection-1643.78-1643.91

Whoever was to blame, the issue is that politicians have been disconnected from spending constraints for too long. There are no controls that impact them when they fail to perform one of their basic duties. Deciding how to spend tax revenue has morphed into deciding how to spend future revenue across all strata of politics (local to federal). The 91fwy express lanes from 1994 are STILL tolls, which was supposed to be converted to additional freeway lanes decades ago, based on the initial project. Nope, money in the hand and promises of money in the future, is what the cities want. From this, we get wasteful slush-fund industries (eg lotteries, etc).

Chicks retail at Tractor Supply for $4 for most breeds, with 6 chick minimums (at least where I'm at). That yields a minimum order of 6 chicks for $24.
If inflation is occurring in Oil & Gas because of the crisis in Ukraine and inflation is occurring in eggs and beef because of monopolistic price gouging, then what is the point of lowering government spending? End the crisis in Ukraine, bring Russian oil back on to the market for its correct price and discipline the companies currently making record profits off record prices for goods.
Inflation can be caused by more than one factor…

> I have recently paid $40 for a $240 SWIFT transaction

That is way more than it should be, but could easily be solved with traditional methods (banks & fintech) with some competition and sensible regulation (like SEPA transfers in Europe being basically free).

I recently had to pay nearly 100$ for accidentally data roaming a few MB abroad, but the conclusion is not that the internet and 5G is fundamentally flawed and need to be replaced by web3.

Yes, the need to circumvent regulations regarding money transfers.
How do you think NYC supports the population it does? Manhattan is not filled single dwelling houses, but at one time it was. It was much easier to build in NYC in the past than now. If they applied the same zoning restrictions then as SF does now, it never would have become the city that it is today.
Canceling Keystone his first day in office doesn't help.
It’s not. That’s a hypothetical that nearly never happens. Or when it does the pet owner just gets to decide if they want to pay, let the pet go without, or travel to nearest competition. If a place is that rural, it’s likely the vet can’t gouge as they need to eat too and nobody would hire them
Isn't that what certification is? COMPTIA etc?
It doesn’t say QA approved it before it went to beta testers. Just that it went to beta testers. That may well have happened before it completed thorough QA (though it probably went through a quick sanity check).
So in that case it's much less about a company desiring to comply to these costs and much more about not being able to realistically being able to afford to do so?
Depends on the neighborhood. Arguably, bay area prices peaked in October of 2015, and have been flat or down slightly. If you convert housing prices to $/square foot, it hit and has been flirting with the "magic psychological price point" of $1000/sq ft price for a long time. There are many exceptions to the rule (of course) but you can see prices racing up to a city-wide average of $1000/sq ft and then flattening out quickly if you look at a graph.
I had that happen at a car dealer. I complained when a salesman told me I owed him an apology for not believing his numbers (this was after I’d caught him lying). The general manager told me they had fired him over it. The next time I was in the dealer, probably six months later, the same salesman came over and started to chat me up. He obviously remembered me but not why he did. I just laughed, I wasn’t surprised in the least. I’d only complained in the first place so I could get a different sales person.
Here's my take: inflation sucks, but they should just let it run its course. For several reasons, but also, my understanding is that the US debt is denominated in USD, so they would effectively be reducing their debt.

My suspicion is that the FED will mostly be choosing to inflation to run its course rather than raising rates too aggressively, and they are trying to pull off a balancing act. Once the current panic subsides, probably things will stabilize.
You are not the only one here, I was born in the USSR too, so I also went through a long phase of having (neo)liberal attitudes and worshipping the capitalist mode of production.

And yes, I am aware nowadays: a few years ago I started re-examining my preexisting views, realized that I acquired most of them without a conscious choice, and then got past the "it's either capitalism or a totalitarian central-planned state" false dichotomy promoted by modern propaganda. Can only recommend doing the same because it's quite liberating after being traumatized by the Soviet experience.

The Anarchist FAQ can be a good starting point because it has lots of sections deconstructing the capitalist mythology:

Contrary to most opinions here, I lost weight through Diet Coke and diet drinks and kept it down thanks to it. These sodas (or rather the artificial sweeteners) allowed me to cut out sugar totally out of my diet at age 16 where I weighed 250 lbs at my highest, to 140 lbs at my lowest at age 21. Now I'm 30 years old at a healthy 160 lbs. I never worked out (still hate it) and only achieved this thanks to the dietary changes I was able to make through 0-calorie sweeteners. Perhaps my experience differs from other peoples, but I personally know 2-3 other people like me. Today, like most days, I drank at least 80 fl oz of diet soda and it never had a negative effect on me.
> There's also the question if the CSA were ever really a "major English-speaking country" because they did default: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_war_finance

If I'm reading the sources correctly, the CSA never technically defaulted until it ceased to exist as a meaningful entity. The CSA never paid the interest on the junk bonds, but those bonds appeared to have a clause permitting it to defer any payments while the war was ongoing; the cotton bonds were actually serviced in full throughout the entire war.
