Nothing's stopping you to use IRC this way, and it's trivial to add a bot to your channel with a poll feature.

It's not just the multipolarity you have to consider. I actually think that's fairly resolvable for something like loose nukes as basically every stable power has an interest in catch-alls for such things.

But the U.S. the EU and China are all facing internal shifts in thinking about how they relate to the rest of the world. And that's a true wildcard.

Those swings, coupled with multipolarity create a very dynamic system that I think is impossible to predict. When a country may stick its thumb in the eye of international treaty simply because it satisfies a belligerent domestic constituency and that alienates a relatively equal strength power, that's a very volatile situation.
Good stuff, however comparisons to duck and Google for first billion users is misleading since internet use has exploded exponentially since last decade. You’d expect it to be easier to get more nominal use.

That last statement about grain exports should be overblown requires a source. It is quite widely published that this has a major impact. An example: https://www.euronews.com/2022/06/19/global-food-crisis-looms...
Well, those ports would not have been mined if it weren't for the Russian invasion. Without Russian ships roaming the coast and ready to attack or disembark soldiers and tanks the situation would come back to normal ASAP.
Anyway that's not the problem.

The grain shortage is not about an insufficient amount of grain worldwide, but because of less grain available on the markets prices went up and many poor countries cannot compete and/or afford to buy it at current prices. Also because those who can afford it are hoarding since well, you may never know.
There are potential risks to inhaling any gaseous substance, but in terms of the molecule itself, nicotine probably isn't riskier than caffeine. Nicotine patches are likely safe, for example.

Most of the planet, most of the people are not in the Arctic. Brief search indicates 4 million, globally. You could have people in the Arctic powering their homes with peat or lignite and it wouldn't be a huge problem. Happily NG is better for this, and the rest of the world has fewer problems with solar seasonality.

What economists who practice it mean by “agent based economic modeling” is a nothingburger with no influence on the wider field of economics.

Generally what we economists want is to solve an inverse problem:

1. Suppose that agents are behaving according to a utility function with a set of parameters, let’s estimate those parameters. (Utility functions are restricted in form by economic theory.)

(One Example: an individual’s utility function may be characterized by a degree of risk aversion - given observed data on many individuals, can we recover their risk aversion?

Another Example: a firm’s investment decisions may depend on (intrinsically unobservable) fixed costs - given observed data on firm behavior in some industry, can we recover fixed costs which are compatible with the model and the observed decisions?)

2. Given the parameters we estimated, what sort of interesting counterfactual policies can we study, under the assumption that the parameters we estimated above don’t change?

This is why you see “less reinforcement learning than you may expect”. Sure, I can write down a model of a macroeconomic environment and put some reinforcement learning agents in it who may learn to behave optimally given the environment. Are the parameters governing those RL models relevant to individuals and their decisions? I have no idea.

Compare the alternative (inverse) approach of writing down a plausible reinforcement learning model and figuring out what parameters govern agents’ decisions from observed decision data. It’s a very different problem.

I wasn’t arguing that they are the same group.

I was responding to the comment above that took median household, and commented that “doesn’t seem outrageous”. (I assumed the typical house price referenced tied to the income presented).

If the median household cannot afford to buy the median home… I would argue that it’s a problem as long as property continues to be one of the few ways for people to accumulate wealth.

But I appreciate your point, and wanted to clarify my response.

Anecdotal, checking my town the median household income is listed at $56,000.

I watch Zillow frequently, there are very few properties below $250,000.

To further compound that (and again anecdotal). I know someone professional who does “credit counseling” for a nonprofit out of Pittsburgh to prepare people to buy a home. (To qualify for first time homebuyers programs, make a budget, help them assess how and where to get financing) and in a recent conversation he shared that the typical person (who is probably not the median homebuyer ) that he works with, has between $500-$1,000 saved.

FHA and USDA are options in this area, but since the large down payment is not going in, that further reduces the maximum home price that households can afford.

Edit: in my above comment I did make an error in my debt to income ratio, the income I should have said in context for qualifying would be $5,667 a month.

Of which the calculated costs would still be 44% of monthly gross income. It would help them to qualify but not change the overall reality of affordability at that household level.
Not that used car springs are bad material wise so. I'm just way to lazy to spend hours hammering into a bar-like shape before I start hammering into the shape I want. Much simpler to start with a proper bar from the beginning.

I know a guy who starts usually with a spiral screw for his blades, and those blades are beautiful.

Not that I'm representative, I made a couple of blades out of Japanese multi-layer steel. And do have some rather expensive Japanese multi-layer steel bars laying around for later, one in a proper Katana-like structure with an iron back and one with 22 layers of chrom-stainless steel with a middle layer of paper steel, both around 8mm thick. They cost a factor 4 more than the ordinary spring steel I mentioned earlier. But since I don't have the time, nor the skill, to make those raw multi-layer bars myself I bought them for my tries at Katana-like blades. One day that is, I planned my first sword to be done in early 2020 and still didn't get started...

Sounds ideal for large arrays for video post use. We used to string 16 drives together to get speeds of what a modern m.2 SSD can do as a single drive. Only, the arrays gave you the capacity to do useful things rather than the toy-like capacity of 2-4TB SSDs. Doubling the speed of spining rust might be interesting when building RAID-6 volumes for edit bays
IMO No,

The web works because of HTML. HTML is scanable, searchable. It's what allows search engine to exist at all. HTML enables extensions. HTML is also generally responsive. HTML allows uses to be in control (see extensions). HTML allows uses to copy and paste and even for sites that try to prevent it users can go into devtools to get the text. HTML supports all of unicode and so is inclusive across all languages.

A world in which the browser is just an executable environment and people make random UIs means pretty much all of the above disappears. No more searching for content, no more extensions to block ads or block distrdacting feature. No more extensions for language translation, braille, accesabiltiliy. No more all language support, only whatever each framework decides to support, every page with different limits at different versions of the frameworks.

It's an economic fact, not a subjective argument. If you're just cutting out a middleman, you're not going to be able to make a greater return than the middleman is currently taking. You could argue that this will unlock some kind of previous unviable economic activity which will dramatically increase volume, but that's a separate argument and needs some data supporting the idea that it's probable at a level which would provide the promised returns.

> reducing commission for global transfers to 0%,

You surely meant 0% plus the transaction and currency conversion fees on both ends, right?

Docker going strong :-)

Unsurprising, really. The usefulness of it cannot be overstated.

Doesn't even matter if its used anywhere in the deployment chain; simply having the ability to pull up a replica of almost any *nix environment on my laptop in mere seconds, using it for tests, and then throwing it away resetting it again in mere seconds is beyond awesome, no matter if what I'm working on then goes into a huge complicated deployment chain, or is shoved onto some on-premises, zero-abstractions, baremetal server.

And how is it all configured? Plain text files. How is it controlled? Command Line. Meaning I can script it every way I want, using the tools I already have and use. Doesn't get in the way, doesn't demand that I work around it...it works with me and my tools in the same way they already work together.

Oh, and of course, good bye and good riddance to the days when I had to install and configure local RDMS for tests. Everything I use has an official image, so I just write some small setup script, a Dockerfile, knit everything together in a docker-compose.yml and presto, done: Application stack is up and running.

To me, Docker is as essential as my text editor these days.
So does sugar. So what's exactly the argument? If we forbid everything that might be dangerous the world would look very different. Half our food would vanish. Cars get banned...

> The Go function `XgeoToH3()` allocates a TLS then calls the same functions

And when author 'batches' the thread local storage he changes the code from thread-safe (C version) to not thread safe. The transpiled code is littered with TLS alloc and free calls to emulate stack variables that must be matched in order and that use the heap for temporary storage rather than the stack, with different cache access patterns that can very much affect tiny benchmarks. Contrary to what the author supposed about the performance, the fast Go version can't even be run over multiple threads.

This is analogous to converting locks to NOPs and improving performance on a single-threaded microbenchmark, but doing so isn't an appropriate comparison even though the code may look identical except for one or two lines.

What happens when these kids enter the workforce where they are measured on performance?

I was placed in one of these high schools having just barely made the cut. The program absolutely destroyed me. I can say with a straight face that I should not have been there in the first place.

There are many kids who get put in these programs so adults can make themselves feel good about diversity. The students are unprepared for what’s coming, can’t keep up with the curriculum and end up performing worse than they would in another school.

Having witnessed firsthand what happens when kids are put in a specialized school on a lottery system, I can tell you it’s a horrible experience.

>No, they really cant. Like, I have no idea what DAI/Compound are, and trivial googling didn't answer.

Well ... yeah, that kinda highlights the problem. If you don't know what something is, and are unwilling to learn, and have a hard time with google[1], then no, you don't get to claim vindication as having wisely made an appropriate inference based on valid evidence. Hence my point.

To fill you in: articbull's comments were vague enough to apply equally well to lending out the stablecoin DAI no the Compound platform, which did not crash or have to suspend withdrawals at any point.

Also, you have no idea, but you knew to switch Dai to all caps? :-p I think you're switching modes.

>A random counterexample doesn't disprove every famous and/or high market cap coin crashing.

>To use your market example, if you kept saying tech stocks are overpriced we would judge it based on the performance of the NASDAQ. You wouldn't be able to say "well, Apple still convinces people to give them all their money and they're still doing well so you were wrong."

Okay, and if you had been saying to avoid tech stocks for the past ten years, then you wouldn't be able to claim credit for the few times it does fall back, esp if it was up o average (hence my point about predicting 8 of the last three crashes).

You definitely wouldn't be able to claim credit for "having warned" someone about a specific stock's fumble (like Netflix's unforced errors), if "tech bad" is all you were basing it on, which is what arcticbull was doing when claiming to have to have warned about Luna in his comments merely because of a general anti-crypto stance.

>I don't touch crypto because I think it's a scam

The point is that that's not the same as differential insight into which specific ones are scams and why. If some aren't scams, that makes you wrong about them, and inability to differentiate means you can't claim to have had deep insight even when some do turn out to be scams.

IOW, you can be right for the wrong reasons, and if so, you can't claim that as vindication.

[1] Also, really? "dai cryptocurrency" and "compound cryptocurrency" both take you directly to explanations of what they are. On google, the latter pops up a "what is compound..." question which, when expanded, explains that it's a protocol for lending and borrowing.
I don't think any of that is true.

Is it pointless? SSH doesn’t send the password out over the wire but instead uses a challenge-response cryptographic system so even if one of the interim machines is compromised, they don’t have access to the clear text password. You shouldn’t be raising passwords (or even passwords in the first place with ssh) but practice defense in depth.

Unless you’re transferring large files the overhead of double encryption on ssh is totally blown away by waiting for human input.

IIRC There’s a fork of SSH that supports not encrypting things if you are trying to transfer large files.
