> If a journalist made random predictions, how would you know?

If they consistently randomly get lucky, that's fine. Just check multiple stories to get a sense of the distribution.

> If a journalist made a random prediction, and market participants believed the prediction, so the market then did what the journalist predicted, how would you know?

If all you care about whether the prediction is accurate (so you can trade on it), you don't need to worry about the philosophical differences between an accurate prediction and a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Going into the great depression, we had hard currency, excess manufacturing capacity, and were the worlds largest supplier of oil.

This time, we have fiat currency, we've offshored most of our manufacturing, and find ourselves dependent on a failing globalized just in time supply chain. We're now dependent on continually drilling and fracking new oil wells to keep up with demand. (Fracked wells go dry in a few years, instead of a few decades)

It's not looking good. Especially when you have a public with zero trust in institutions.

Nobody is worried about "The Great Simplification" that's rapidly coming down the pike, as the easy to reach oil runs out and it takes too much energy to get at the rest.
> And then there's Amazon. To me, Amazon is the clearest case for government action for it's effective monopoly over distribution. Yes you can sell stuff on your own website. You can ship physical products. But in doing so you cannot compete with Amazon's price-points, speed and overall logistics.

UPS/FedEx/USPS/DHL/Walmart/Target/eBay/Best Buy/Costco/Home Depot/Lowes/Staples/the list goes on and on of businesses that have distributed goods to me many, many times in recent years and over the last 2 decades.

Ludicrous to claim Amazon has any kind of distribution monopoly. Many businesses deliver, many businesses have warehouses, and competition is so high that profit margins are low single digit margin slim. As a customer, one could hardly hope for a better situation.

> Prescriptions or miracle cures that actually work?

First, it should go without saying, but I'm not a doctor. I'm just a random internet stranger offering pointers. Consider that anything I say may be wrong. Do your own research, and talk with a real doctor.

That being said, there's minoxidil[1], although it doesn't require a prescription. The original commercial name is Rogaine. It's a foam you apply twice a day. As I've heard, you'd lose all your hair in the first 6 months, and then it would regrow fuller. You'd have to apply it for life. If you stop, then you would go back to the amount of hair you had before taking it.

You may evaluate differently, but personally I don't think it's worth it. It's not a trivial expense, not easily available worldwide, and seems too bothersome.

Another medication is finasteride-1mg[2], many times sold under the brand names Propecia/Proscar. It's a pill taken daily. AFAIK, it only works to prevent further baldness and not to restore hair that's already been lost. It may or may not require a prescription depending on where you are, but you should check with a doctor to see if they think it'll work for you. Not all forms of baldness are the same. The 1mg version can be expensive, so I hear some people buy the much cheaper 5mg version and cut that in quarters for 1.25mg doses. A potential side-effect is possibly irreversible ED. You should evaluate on your own if the risk is low enough to be disregarded.

If you measure by median household income, the US is towards the top. So when you see a statistic that says more than 50% of US households live paycheck to paycheck, that’s a choice, because the median US household doesn’t have to live paycheck to paycheck.

Big companies want to pay and have “support.” Lawyers don’t like licenses, they want a proper contract.

But if it’s AGPL, I’ll move on. They’re too idealistic to deal with megacorp. They don’t sell through intermediaries, can’t/won’t be insured enough, etc.

Inevitably the small company sees $$$ and goes nuts trying to sell even when warned not to. Then the risk management and contract stuff kicks in, drags out, and kills it.

The small company blew a bunch of cash on nothing. Or they base sales projections on it. I’ve seen a couple go under.

Those are people’s livelihoods and I can’t do that to them.

That’s not limited to AGPL, but the license is a signal of that type of business. And they never do the smart thing with megacorp and sell through an established intermediary.

Takes a lot of good software off the table.

I have used as a trumpet as a metaphor (because I had one to hand).

Compare it to a trombone. the length of the horn controls the pitch. The trombone just slides the length of the trombone to make it longer and shorter. The trumpet uses valves to make the air go through tubes of varying length. Combining the valve buttons makes for a range of lengths that is quite analogous of three bit binary.

There are, of course more details to trumpets, But this gets the basic idea of a number of on-off states generating a range of values.

It depends on how old you are. Going bald at 18-19 can be absolutely destructive and painful. It's almost completely out of your control too.

It also depends on how extensive the hairloss is. A receding hairline is one thing, "losing" your hairline entirely is another.
That is very emphatically not the argument Turchin is making and the tenuousness of the connection between military success and institutional complexity is evident by looking at the pretty obvious exceptions like the Mongol empire, the Huns, etc.
I disagree. But I'm no physicist. My reasoning goes like this, with the assumption that the coffee milk has room temperature:

The coffee cools faster if it's hot. So putting in the creamer immediately steals the most efficient cooling period for the coffee. There are some caveats that I don't consider that could make a difference like that the surface area of the combined liquid is larger so it transfers heat more efficiently.
I'm not sure what you mean by paid. I don't know precisely the location of student debt, but my assumption is i) the debt holder is the government and ii) the colleges have already been paid (this one seems obvious). In that case there is nothing to be "paid out". The government simply says "you can stop paying us" and stops receiving an annual inbound cash flow from student loans (they did this since the pandemic). You may argue they have to then use debt or taxes to make up that shortfall in annual revenue (I would disagree, but that's ok). If that were true, since the US annual tax revenue is over $4T and the annual revenue from student loans is $70B (in 2019) that represents a reduction in revenue of ~1.75% (assuming the cost of collecting student loan payments is $0, which is unlikely). So in the worst case the government must increase their tax revenue by 1.75% annually to account for the loss of the student loan revenue. Doesn't seem that bad.

There may be debt servicing firms making an income from student loan payments, or student loan refinancing companies, but we could ignore those and say they are ineligible.,

If the manufacturer is willing to provide the entire db of cards or a well-trained model that could be embedded or a ready mobile app, that would be great.

Both developments would be wonderful to happen, however in the meantime I'm looking for something cheap, fast, and easy to implement that I can do on my own in the local scope of my deck.

Sure, but GNNs modeling neurons is nonsensical since the graph is the analyte of the NN, you are not a priori doing anything with the graph.

US ETFs are regulated assets trading on regulated exchanges, holding or linked to other regulated assets on regulated exchanges. Regulations all the way down.

The whole crypto space has been trying to have it both ways and get the veneer of well regulated assets on regulated exchanges, without having to face any regulation on the spot or spot exchanges themselves.

> What you experience in the very few tech hubs in USA is absolutely not what you'd experience literally everywhere else in the world.

I'd push back against this. I have worked for a few tech companies in pretty small midwest towns and found the culture much better than what I see and hear from FAANG experiences. I turned down an AWS position and ultimately declined to continue interviewing for an Apple position because of some management red flags.

It's important to note that many of these Americans are "not proud" for vastly different reasons.

The takeaway here shouldn't be "look how low we've sunk with the X people in power". It should be about how even in a democracy, less than half of the voting public is happy. It's similar to the fact that Congress as a whole has an abysmal approval rating, while each individual Congressperson has a high approval rating among their constituents.

I like how you think because largely correct. I believe it has probably gotten much worse in “inflation driven bubble growth” times we had the last ten years. Non productive individual contributors have proliferated … because why not hire and retain them if money is free?

Managers are 2nd or 3rd order derivatives of IC productivity. If you have over-hired and too many managers to the point where no one knows what productivity is or who is doing any work, then everyone would prefer to be management since no real work is getting done anyway, and any of the work you do as an IC often gets credited : stolen : reassigned to others to spread the credit around.

I categories managers in the following ways:

1. Truly awful or toxic, malicious

Actively interfere with you , fight with you, stop you from being productive. I have had several of these. They are the cancer of companies.

2. Leave you alone

This is one of my favorite types of manager. They just kind of hire you and let you survive and do whatever. Unless you run into political challenges requiring real management, or need resources or get lost. If you are highly self motivated and talented and can figure out what to do yourself, these are fine, mostly.

3. Enablers : Encouragers

These are the managers who really accelerated my career. I have literally only ever had 2 of them, after working for like 20 years.

My personal estimate is that out of 13 managers, 2 have been excellent.

That is a really bad ratio.

Of the 13, 3 have been the leave me alone kind which was ok for a bit.

4-5 have been actively malicious or completely incompetent to the point of making me leave. The rest in between somewhere.

OK, I can now reliably repro!

At the first screen, _click_ play. Then press enter 5 times.

Every time I do that, I get a stopped timer and no starting text. Same when extensions are disabled. I don't see any obvious errors in the console, other than "Autoplay is only allowed when approved by the user, the site is activated by the user, or media is muted". Which I'm pretty sure I see when I use the mouse to click.

edit:
Refined it a bit more. Every time I use the mouse to click the final button "Go" it works as intended. Every time I press the enter key instead, I get the timer stop & no starting text bug.

I've tried switching a couple of times.

I had plugins that didn't work and had to look for neovim equivalents.

I felt lost in figuring out how to adapt my configuration to the neovim way of things

I tried some features (treesitter?) and had crashes

Maybe its something about the switch nerd sniped me into re-doing all of my config (whether LSP, treesitter, lua, etc related) which bogged me down.

I'm odd and prefer a GUI but the GUI ecosystem for neovim is too fractured. Instead of people coordinating to get one polished enough, everyone goes and writes there own. I also had to take the time to research it.

In general, it felt like a major change that required a lot of research when I just want sane defaults out of the box (and not some bespoke config layer that just adds yet another thing I need to learn)
