A distributed ledger.. Like bitcoin? It's already solved! Sorry, Im struggling to understand your point. If you want people not to get fleeced, education is the key. Explain the value of bitcoin to them. Explain why it was created.

And the financial system is obscure already and actively fleeces people all the time. Bitcoin was a direct response to the 2008 financial crisis (read: fleecing). Theyd destroyed lives and got bailed out.

It had 14.9% less reported crime, not necessarily less crime. San Francisco also had a decline in population so dropping crime numbers makes sense.

I just saw a TV labeled, "Android TV", and was curious. Wow. I won't be going forward and will probably just pay up for a commercial grade type set, or some combination of monitor / tuner.

So far, I've been lucky. After finally moving off of a CRT for primary TV viewing, I picked up a smart plasma from Samsung. Never put it online, and that TV is awesome! Gonna miss it one day. Looks like OLED is going to deliver nicely, and that's what I'm looking at in the future.

Did pick up two "Hi Sense" ROKU sets, and they are remarkably clean. Apparently, there are sets out there sans the AD spamming, and or I bought in just prior to this all very seriously escalating.
Yeah, I was talking about software testing. But thank you for that article.

We are underestimating the power of a system like LaMBDA. The importance of what is happing is being lost on the argument of whether the system can think for itself. It's irrelevant if it's sentient of not. What matters is that it can process a huge amount of data and come up with useful results. Given enough time, it will be part of our everyday life. And that means it will change society as we know it. It's the automation of cognitive work. And that will change everything.

Think about it as being on the verge of inventing the cotton gin for the mind. And now think about how the cotton gin changed the US and the world as it was known before. Google wants to dismiss what they are doing as less than important but we should proceed with caution. What happens at this point will have a huge impact on our future even if it stays at the level it's at. Google is being too flip about its impact.
If anybody could consistently give you an answer that’s better than a guess they would be billionaire investment bankers already.
Not really. It's kind of what eroded the power of US industrial unions. In the 1970s many companies started hiring (with the grudging acceptance of the unions if their existing members got to keep their benefits) new workers with less benefits and less job security than previous workers. Within a generation the expectations for health plans, retirement, and paid vacations were reduced and the new workers if anything resented the older workers rather than their employers.
The higher rate is 40% and that's before National Insurance Contributions, Student Loan Repayments through HMRC, Personal Allowance removal, etc

To be fair folks in the US also have to pay for college, but to give an example of the typical situation in the UK: £55,000 loan on a 7.3% interest rate (it was going to be 12% but the government decided to reduce it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-61765891) in a country where the average income is £31,722 per year
I did this, it was a piece of cake. My city/state apparently hate businesses, so it ended up costing about $800 total, but I had an official tax ID and everything.

I went back into the salaried workforce eventually, and the background check company just wanted some proof that my company existed, which I covered by showing them the business license or something (can't remember exactly what I did). Practically zero hassle. (I just told the truth in the interview that I wasn't proving to be a business genius, and I was worried I'd eventually fall behind on technical topics)

Yeah, phantom braking is an absolute plague when it comes to systems that depend on cameras or radar.
It's not that they make more on selling ads than the end user pays for the TV. It's that the manufacturer makes more on the ads than their tiny share of the price that the user pays. A mfr might only make single digit $$ of margin on a TV sold at retail in the US (I'm talking about low-end and mid-tier TVs, not > $1,000 units.)

The 16 percent interest rate is not necessarily bad. Back then you could put money in savings account and get 15 percent interest from the bank.

Also the high interest rate means lower house prices, so you could buy a house in cash from savings alone.
Why are we cherry picking a single month? Every other month this year has seen ~25% increase in theft over the previous year.

How did you go about learning how to handstand?

I tried figuring it out with no guidance as a carefree 18 year old and managed to have a very unclean handstand.

I tried relearning it properly as a 30year old and found out that a decade or computer work left me without the proper shoulder mobility to protract overhead with decent internal rotation.

As a result I can get severe neckpain (usually 4-6 weeks to recover) coming from overactive upper traps
The one thing common across all low growth countries is bad demographics.

Doesn’t matter whether you’re Japan or Portugal - demographics seems to doom any notion of “growth”.
Who knows? Nobody. We can guess, but even then location location location is important. As is your personal future.

Buying a house is a long term commitment, if you can't live there for seven years then it is probably wrong for you.
TL;DR: It's a $1500 55" 4K commercial display. Yes it fits the definition, but there's a huge premium on it. But monitors have always had a premium over TVs, even when targeted at TV use. I recall back in the '80s people doing the same thing, though not because of ads, just to get rid of the tuners.
In addition to this I can recommend user-agent switcher:

I didn't say FSD beta was "ready". I merely assert that it is demonstrating remarkable competence in spatial sensing. If spatial sensing isn't a problem—and clearly it is not—it makes no sense to add LiDAR, which only does point cloud spatial sensing. The real "hard problem" of self-driving is in the path planner, not spatial sensing.

I hadn't heard of AutoX. I watched a couple of their videos. Despite being videos cherry-picked by the developer they show a car being driven in cities at slow speed and on faster arterials seemingly unable to drive without ping-ponging. No evidence that these cars could ever drive on roads they haven't been directly trained on.

By comparison, thousands of videos of FSD beta are being posted by hundreds of real world vehicle owners driving intentionally challenging routes in dozens of distinct geographic jurisdictions. It is showing remarkable progress, but of course there's still limitations; understandable when exposed to such a massive long tail of edge cases.

One will observe that I said "click button, get fake security answers" and I just tried it with BW Version 2022.5.1 (3283) and there was for sure no such "add security questions" option

I do believe you that it's possible to generate a password using battery-horse-stable but BW places the burden upon the user to create a "security questions" section, fill in the security question prompt, now save the item at this point because fuck the user, and then go to some other section to generate the battery-horse-staple password, copy it to the clipboard, go back into the item, edit it, go back to the section, paste the generated password, and now repeat that for the other 3 fucking required security questions

And people ask me why I pay for 1P ... I'll just link them to this process in the future, because it's a night-and-day difference how much BW hates its users
Apparently people with AirTags kill people.
Yes- very, particularly in advertising, presumably because it stands out. The longer answer is that Japanese has a few different writing systems, and one of those is already used most often for transliterated "loanwords" that came from other languages. There are a ton of English words that get written in katakana and are used quite frequently, like hamburger (ハンバーガー) and premium (プレミアム). For some of the English words that are likely to be the most well-known, it's not a crazy step to use the latin character set instead to write them, for extra emphasis.

Well, except that in this case the statement holds true.

It’d take a considerable amount of force to kill someone with an AirTag.
There isn’t much bubble in the housing market. The supply simply can’t keep up with the demand. This is not the best time to buy, but not the worst either.

To say that it’s the least important problem ignores a pretty wide swath of ostensibly less significant problems (cigarette misuse near buildings, litter, speeding, unlicensed drivers, unlicensed panhandlers, take your pick). I’m going to need a citation on that claim.
I am giving my experience and you call it projecting? That’s an interesting debate tactic.

The team doesn’t constantly need to reinforce what is working. That is self-evident and could be an email or slack message.

They only wrote JSON, never parsed it.
“AirTags don’t kill people, they enable you to catch someone in a vulnerable state so that you can kill them.”
It brings to mind a test. Ask the ai to do something unexpected in some way, and do it later (without a prompt).
If I were looking at buying in the next 0-36 months, I would wait at least 6 months. It’s entirely possible that economic conditions continue to slide, interest rates get to 7%+ and a deep recession reduces housing demand. The opposite of all these things could also be true.

If conditions improve faster than expected, you can always quickly enter the housing search/market. Housing isn’t like most other markets that can move 20% in a day. You should be able to wait 6-12 months and closely follow the consensus on interest rates and housing market sentiment.
Where is “down here” - hopefully you don’t mean Australia because we’ve had a housing bubble bigger than the US and we are just (probably) slowly about to come down from it :)
Wait six months, if prices are going to crash, they will by then
If the reason you’re buying is because you need to upgrade your current living situation and you can afford the monthly payment then I don’t see what the issue is.

If rates go back down you can always refinance.

Given sales volume has dramatically slowed I personally wouldn’t engage in a transaction with a seller who thinks they have total leverage and force buyers to do things like waive inspection which many people do to win a house. It’s just not worth it.
My wife got banned from Apex Legends, a game she's invested quite a bit of time and money into. The ban says it's allegedly for cheating, and she's never cheated in her life, doesn't have any software that can even remotely be considered cheating, or did anything that could be misconstrued as cheating. In fact, she's pretty bad at the game and her stats are quite low, so there isn't even a chance she's been reported for cheating for being super good or anything. She's also appealed and got the ban confirmed and by the "manual review" process, whatever that means.

It's doubly frustrating cause she's got quite a bit of money invested in the cosmetic items in the game that she no longer can access.

I think noone knows, really. In 2008 it was a single cause driving the prices up and then sharply down. This time around it seems to be an equation with a few unknowns: when will the war end - and how. When will china end their zero covid policy (or how will it end). What will the policymakers do if supply-driven inflation eases? Very hard to predict.

Just closed on a house in the Netherlands. I expect the prices to stagnate but not fall like they did in 2008. There is a limited supply, the demand is strong even at todays prices.
> Back in the early '80s rates were up around 16%...

What does the current rate matter though. FED is going to bring the rates back down as soon as they can. America is hooked to cheap money.
The vast majority of git repos are tiny so there is no gain. And most of the benefits of git require history to be downloaded. You’d be better off clicking the download zip button on the git host if you only care about the latest version.

It's only remained unchanged if you haven't decided to downsize: I've been building all mini-ITX machines for a while now. My main PC is in a DanCase A4-SFX, which is a 7.2L case. Even my NAS is mini-ITX. That's all standard parts. You can go even smaller if you are willing to sacrifice standard parts and go for a NUC or whatever.
I mean, they can only go meaningfully higher if people can afford those higher prices. I'm not convinced they can go much higher without wages going up substantially.

OP likely made a very natural assumption that talking about the Federal Reserve and linking to an article discussing the Mortgage Bankers Association in the post would be enough hints to imply they were coming from the U.S.

Indeed, it seems you did come to that conclusion, but still commented about it being unclear?
Given that the government we've had for the last 12 years have been privatizing and cutting back large amounts of the state (e.g. the criminal justice system is now falling apart by many accounts) that sounds rather like a hammer-see-nail outlook.

The bedrock of the nation is really not in a good place, unless you aim to merely be better than the Italians or Spanish, there has been a large increase in the use of food banks and that kind of thing.

What we did have during the pandemic was blatant corruption wrt to the purchasing of PPE and building test and trace organizations. Billions lost, conveniently in large part to companies that don't really exist. Governments should not be in power this long, they've run out of honest people.
Frankly, as I get older I can appreciate that statement.

I can see it still, but I don't care. And thinking about it, I quit caring at 1080i. (Growing up with CRT video, interlace isn't something that bothers me)

I super appreciated 1080p :)

And that's all I really need. What I've noticed is that my appreciation of the material doesn't improve with the resolution beyond 1080p. And I really like glowing phosphors in tubes, first the CRT, then a pretty great plasma that I plan on camping on, until whatever OLED thing makes sense at some point in the future.

That set will probably run well beyond 1080p. I won't care, might even run it at 1080p anyway.

Extreme detail seems to take me out of the production sometimes, or I see artifacts that I would not see at a lower resolution. Think people call it the "soap opera" effect.
BART collected half a billion dollars in fares in 2019 so again, it has way higher compliance with the user fee scheme than other competing services like street parking and bridge tolls and vehicle license fees.
We don't have much choice, high performance video card just big and they need a good cooling solution. It will probably take another ten years to reduce power consumption and we would get a small reduction is size and cooling requirements.
It mostly comes down to the fed, and their response to inflation.

If you think their response will reign inflation in check, we'll probably see the market 'crash' and a recession like the late 80s.

If you think their response will be soft, and persistent inflation is the new norm, we'll probably see the market act more like the 70s.

Maybe they walk the line, but I don't see how that's possible. Monetary policy is just so of-the-mark right now.

Another screwball is WFH. That could sap demand for large cities and push demand in suburbs and smaller towns.

Anecdotally what I have found is 10xers or high IQ people tend to find the solution that makes utter and complete sense. The simplest most efficient solution is the one they come up with.

The thing that they miss is the novel solution. The WTF solution that's so left field it changes fundamental understanding of everything. It is even rarer to find these types of people. I believe the "creativity" skill is highly independent of "lack of brain fog" so often times the creative people aren't noticeably more intelligent because they have brain fog and aren't as sharp as the classically intelligent person.

They say that Einstein once called his secretary to ask about his address because forgot where he lived.
The reason why I think it will happen sooner than that is because of everything else going on. Inflation, increased food/gas prices, crashing stock market...we're already starting to see layoffs and hiring freezes in tech. Got companies who are reverting their WFH policies...how many tech people went and bought a house in Idaho or Montana thinking their WFH was permanent?
I had exactly the same thought. It would have been within the title limit to say:

> "Ask HN: Is it the “worst” time to buy a house in the US?

I can't help but think it is simply implicit American exceptionalism. It's an assumption, commonly made by Americans, that on the web we assume everything refers to the US unless otherwise specified. I'm not suggesting any bad faith on OP's part, it's an unconscious bias.
It's really really hard to say. Not only are prices really high but I think the potential variance in outcomes that I would personally project is at an all time high. There are forces pulling the market in polar opposite directions and it's going to be a relative matter of how those forces play out.

Overall, I would buy right now if it really makes sense to you from a life perspective. I'd stay far away if your goals are speculative.

Google Engineer claims chat it is sentient
This is way overcomplicated...

Here's how I taught myself:

1) Facing a wall place your hands on the ground a shoulder width apart about a foot away from it.
2) now on your hands and feet, kick one leg up towards the wall, then land it back on the ground.
3) repeat 2, try to get your leg higher and higher, allowing your second leg to also leave the ground.

Keep doing this until you go vertical. If you go past vertical your legs will simply touch the wall and you can push off it back onto the ground.

Once you get comfortable doing this you'll find you're able to Handstand without touching the wall and can hold it. At this point ensure your head also goes vertical.

Practice handstands every day and you should be able to do them in just a few weeks.

A set of three foot pedals: one for screen recordings, another for instant replay, and another for quick voice notes.

Usage: mash the leftmost pedal to toggle recording the screen; mash the middle pedal to save off the past 30 seconds of my activity (usually along with me verbally narrating what I'm doing, an oddball habit that has paid dividends thanks to this config) and finally, push-to-talk (drops an .mp3 in the appropriate folder; I usually just have it work the same as the leftmost pedal (i.e. saving an .mkv which just so happens to have user audio) because I'm too lazy to bash-script ffmpeg and OBS is already open.

Hardware: I have a tri-pedal set, made by the same manufacturer documented in the 'Vim Clutch' article here on HN (I'm too lazy to go find the URL but it will come up easily in a search.) The pedals are mapped to shortcuts in OBS for the functions described above.

Software: OBS Studio, Gnome desktop (NixOS), and Input Remapper. (More on this last one further down.)

Caveat: This currently only works under Xorg (not Wayland) because Wayland doesn't let OBS grab shortcuts outside its own window (Wayland is such a Karen.) There's a workaround that I'm working on, but it involves an OBS plugin called obs-websocket and a straightforward bit of Python scripting that I have nonetheless yet to finish, as well as Input Remapper (https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper) so Xorg it is for now.

For bonus points, I made the destination folder the 'attachments' folder in my Obsidian vault. Then I can index them by subject, a task that is surprisingly entertaining, as links from topic pages in Obsidian.

Honestly. I don't remember how I thought before. This is the perfect thinking machine.
