Here is my view on inflation:

1: The root of inflation is the printing of money

2: No government will reduce the printing of money. It is just too convenient. It is like taxing more and more without getting much complaints.

3: Governments will rather use tricks to lower inflation. Change the definition. Make laws to restrict prices. Subsidize the production of goods to make them cheaper.

Conclusion: The value of money will go down the drain faster and faster forever.
Great, I'm thankful your reliable information. I'll check it. :)

Geographic middle of Europe is somewhere in Poland. Seeing that Sweden is distinctly north of Poland, it makes total sense to count it as Northern European country.

That's basically where I am at the moment. Even if it's unethical, the value it provides me is so huge that I am willing to overcome my ethical objections.

Similar to how I still eat meat.
For those opining that training a model isn't dissimilar to how humans acquire knowledge: human artists take decades to do it; and eventually, human artists die.

These aren't constraints on AI developed, controlled, and accessible only to enormous corporate entities; even if they deign to provide limited access to the public at times.

Ask HN: Google Maps alternative for planning and exploring?
Google Maps is really good at taking me from point A to point B. But when I want to explore the map or plan a trip, I find it very clumsy and awkward to use.

I will preface this by saying that I have a really poor sense of direction, and that might be the cause of my frustration. Regardless, here are 2 examples:

Example 1: I want to know where city A is relative to a place I'm familiar with (city B or my house). I search for city A. The map zooms in on city A, which is fine. I then zoom out, trying to get a sense of where it is. But if it's in another country or far away from me, I'd have to zoom way out to even hit a place I know. So I try to search for a 2nd place that I know, hoping it'd show both places in one view. But instead it does a crazy pan to city B, completely disorienting me.

Example 2: I want to visit 2 places in one trip (think FedEx and UPS). I don't know their locations, but would like to make the shortest trip. I search for FedEx, and get maybe 5 results that are roughly the same distance from me. Then, I search for UPS, hoping to find one that's close to one of the 5 FedEx locations. But as soon as I hit search, all previous results go away and I'm back at square one.

To be honest I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. Is there a map UI that's significantly different from Google Maps that's worth trying?

No one has demonstrated anything. SoftBanks portfolio has taken a hit, but it is hardly a nail in the coffin. Son's actions have generated enormous wealth gains for the people he backs, but in the end the public eats a majority of the losses. Son has still made billions and billions using this model, so how can you say it does not work? You would have to look at funds that tried this same thing and went bankrupt.

Not just that. He mentioned the 1970's and 80's five times, which was a period of high inflation, high rates and civil unrest. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Volcker#Chairman_of_the_F...:

"Volcker's Federal Reserve board elicited the strongest political attacks and most widespread protests in the history of the Federal Reserve (unlike any protests experienced since 1922), due to the effects of high interest rates on the construction, farming, and industrial sectors, culminating in indebted farmers driving their tractors onto C Street NW in Washington, D.C. and blockading the Eccles Building. US monetary policy eased in 1982, helping lead to a resumption of economic growth"

Money has never been the issue. There has always been money that could have been diverted to "fix" the homeless problem, at both the state and federal level. If that's all it was, we'd have solved it by now. Homelessness is far more complicated than just money, and throwing it at the problem won't fix it.

For as long as I can remember, there has been a vocal group of doomsayers predicting financial catastrophe. Powell's speech is like catnip to that group.
Wow, this take is so utterly infuriating. There's so much wrong with this take on so many levels that I wonder if it isn't just trolling.

Let me answer it in what I think is the most generous reading:

Copyright is not meant to be used a bludgeon to inhibit the sharing of ideas, it's meant to incentivize the creation of works while still providing a mechanism to enhance the commons [0].

The limitations of copyright are:

* You cannot copyright ideas, only realizations [1]

* Copyrighted works can be copied without the authors consent if it falls under fair use [2]. In particular, the amount republished is considered in addition to whether it harms the original copyrighted author

* To show copyright infringement, you have to show a "substantial similarity" [3] and have the challenged work in question not be protected under other non-infringing uses [4] such as being an "aggregator" or other such service

In particular, if we're having a conversation about copyright but we don't talk about scraping for search (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) or other aggregation services, then I'd ask why Google is allowed to aggregate information but everyone else isn't.

In terms of 'transformative work', I'd point out that many artists copy the style of other artists, sometimes even using code, and while there are many "ethical" dilemmas that artists bring up about this point, this very clearly falls outside of the scope of copyright.

Also, to not talk about the over reach of copyright, the nearly 100+ year copyright terms and the level of automation to demonitize and bully smaller artists using copyrighted work fairly is negligent.

Is this harming artists more than it's helping? If so, why is the argument different now than when it was used in the past for similar issues?

Let's say an artist is mad that their work got used in one of these AI models. How would they prove it? What if it turned out that the model was actually using work from another, older, artist that the angry artist used as an influence and didn't actually use any of the "angry" artists work at all. Should we start suing the angry artist because they made their art "in the style of" the older artist?

I'm all for having these conversations but hot takes like this are simplistic and counter productive.

Definitely don't do LASIK. Look into the rates of complications and side effects. There's a good argument that it's really not a procedure that should have ever been approved.

I don't think the advice to avoid contacts as a baseline recommendation is the takeaway of the comment you replied to, that advice pertained to that person's specific medical situation.

Also, personally, I don't believe it's the type of screen that's problematic for long-term eyesight. What my optometrist told me is that we weren't really evolved to be looking at things close up for long periods of time.

I don't think e-ink versus backlit screen is the issue – certainly, our eyes take in a lot more ambient light from not-screens during the day compared to the weak little LED light on our screen.

The real issue is spending 8+ hours a day focused on close up objects. Take frequent breaks where you are looking in the distance, go on walks, etc.

Remember to listen to your doctor over random people on the Internet, including me.
Real Engineering did a video about this[0] and mentioned that SLS was really just a way to create jobs that happens to result in a massive rocket at the end. This makes sense to me and neatly explains the apparently intentionally overblown budget.

> A human artist can't look at 5bn images and use them to be able to instantly mimic the style of another artist, hundreds of times an hour.

It's just another step on the path towards AI being better than humans at certain activities. We've already gone through this with things like math, chess, imitating voices, translating languages, and lately visual art seems to be coming close to a point where the AI will have an edge over humans. We will have to learn to cope, one way or another, because eventually, AI will be better at everything, as we are limited by our biological bodies.

Humanity will create its own synthetic god, and the consequences will be interesting.

If your argument is just that "everything boils down to a creative interpretation", I don't see how this is a really meaningful or interesting take.

The point is that there are widely varying degrees of creative interpretation, and this "transcription" is _nothing_ at all like interpreting a piece of sheet music.
I had one in college too, but never met him. I would just get comments from people about it.

One was from a cousin who knew me very well who told me she thought it was me initially, so there's no way this person just 'kind of' looked like me.
People need to stop being so deferential to copyright. Once a work is out in the public, it's no longer yours or anyones'.
Seems like a disproportionate number of these comments are about using the vegan analogy. So setting aside offense or ethics, do you think it was a good idea to go with this analogy, or is it detracting from "the value of sparking useful conversations about personal approaches to AI ethics"? (emphasis mine)
> Musk is hellbent to go to Mars.

He's hellbent on building Starship I think, but Mars? I don't see it. He's invested a lot of time and money into building a booster that will excel at putting satellites into orbit for Starlink and DoD contracts. But how much has he invested in Mars colony habitat technology? Virtually nothing.

Starship is a satellite launcher, not a Mars rocket. The Mars talk is a recruiting tactic.
We are set to learn immense amounts of information directly useful for extended spaceflight, ie mission to Mars
SLS costs $4B/launch. It is impossible that Starship will be sold for just $1M/launch.
Copyright and Patents are about using government force to enable a business model that couldn’t exist with purely voluntary transactions. People would have to find other ways to make money without enabling an enforcer with a peculiar laws about “owning ideas”.

On the other hand, government is what can end factory farms. No market mechanism can do it since it actually makes a factory farm more competitive the more it cuts corners and costs on housing animals and fattens them with antibiotics.

The people who don’t care about animal welfare might be persuaded if they realized just how much factory farms contribute to the rise of antibiotic resistant MRSA bacteria and other superbugs. They could make the past pandemic look like a cakewalk.

Oh for sure! I'm actually using the parsing to generate a branching dialog markup syntax, so it's keeping track of things like if you've already chosen an option, or if your character has the stats to even show an option to you.

The intention, though, was the make the variable assignment general-purpose enough for whatever node data needed to be stored. So, in my case, I'll be storing things like "x" and "y" positions, so that the nodes can be restored to their absolute position on the graph.

Submillisecond – A Rust Web Framework
I think the key take aways are as follows. Prerequisite is the understanding that the Fed has a mandate to: maximize (productive?) employment, and maintain inflation at 2%.

- Employment is very high, as it stands. The intention of easy money was to maintain purchasing power, and prevent household shocks due to government shutdowns during the pandemic. It is being used by companies to game the market, and win as evidenced by this change, producing demand-side inflation.

- Productivity is low, as measured presumably by per-capita GDP projections. Indicating continued economic dislocations between prices and corporate activities. Investments are concentrating into unproductive sectors. Capital inflows aren't improving productivity, so the cost of productivity is going up -- supply-side inflation.

- Households and businesses are still gobbling up a lot of debt OR a lot of savings, spurred on by USD inflation -- to employ those individuals, to live outside reasonable means -- or preparing "for the worst." This is the manifestation of the K-shaped recovery, where activities are significantly altered, in anticipation of near-term economic changes. Acquisitions probably would highlight this, but the branches of government have talked FAANG out of this but Broadcom-VMWare highlights a counterexample.

The narrative that is latched onto by investors pertains to the Fed's intention to hike rates until employment begins to fall, he states that they're planning on "overshooting" the fed-funds rate, so that business investment will fall, and concentrate onto more reliable business-models. Jerome Powell also invoked Paul Volkert, basically to signal that risk assets are no longer a key-metric being observed.
I’m saying build them. 800 square foot slab on grade 2 bedroom homes with block construction just like we did in the 1940s.

You absolutely could build these for $100k/ea at scale.
Cargo takes a rather brute-force approach to the hard problems, but it generally just fucking works, which is a comically under-rated feature!

On the one hand, it’s depressing that Cargo is forced to “go it’s own way” in order to achieve some sanity because it can’t can’t trust the platforms, but working is working and I can’t remember more than one or two times I’ve seen it shit the bed. It’s pragmatic, useable, discoverable, and industrial strength.
SLS can get about 27 tons to the moon, Falcon Heavy about 20 tons. Sure, redesigning the plans to handle splitting between two launches is time and money, but two falcon heavies is only ~$300M base price. SLS is a waste even without starship.
I'd like to find numbers which illuminate how much of the inflation is caused by lack of supply for relatively inelastic commodities. If the way out of shortages is to invest in more production, higher interest rates seems detrimental in the face of that type of inflation. If, on the other hand, inflation is caused by groups/individuals buying lots of silly things because they are flush with tons of cash, then rising interest rates should put a stop to speculative/impulse elastic spending.

To me, it seems an important distinction whether "excess" cash is going towards buying elastic goods/services (peloton cycles, fancy grills, RTX3080 for gaming, etc) or simply fighting over shortages of inelastic goods (baby formula, bacteriostatic water, shipping space, gasoline, etc).

I suspect that our largest improvement would come from investment in transportation infrastructure for goods -- all of that is super choked right now and it affects everything.

Many people are concerned about the rising price of real-estate and I agree, but I'm not sure interest rates are fine-grained enough for this...ideally Congress could address that with Anti-NIMBY legislation and/or taxes on properties which are not lived in by their owners, which could be directly redistributed to anyone who purchases a new home.
I think ReScript community is pretty active right now, I have big expectations about future 10.x releases (I'm working for a company uses ReScript as a main programming language) there are less buzz recently though.
> Also there is no dispute that Omar threw the grenade that killed soldiers

There isn't, but how is that murder? You said it yourself, soldiers, in a war zone, killing them is not murder. The US case is not only built on rotten foundations (torture), it doesn't even make sense.

> It seems like everyone was tortured at Guantanamo...why were so few convicted then

Because torture was less than useless in most cases, but gave "enough", apparently, for some convictions like Omar's to be pushed through on the vain hope that the torture won't come up and ruin the conviction. That didn't stop the sick fucks at the CIA from continuing the torture for quite some time. Everyone from them up to the White House inhabitants at the time deserves at the very least a trial and some jail time.

It almost certainly is. The book is 352 pages, according to Amazon, so at best it's a extremely high-level outline.

An actual manual would be very long and tedious, and certainly wouldn't sell well as a popular book. I'd imagine it would be at least a couple times larger than a collection of all the undergrad textbooks for all the practical courses at a decent university circa 1950 (you've got to get the concepts, plus important implementation details).

A manual for bootstrapping a subsistence farming community would probably be a lot shorter and more practical.

I typed in "space nerds in space fighting the zarkons", And it gave me a picture that looked similar to NASA's astronaut group photos, with 3 astronauts, 2 human, and one 3-eyed ninja-turtle looking alien in a spacesuit. Behind them was a space scene with a huge, earthlike planet. The faces of the two human astronauts looked eerily similar to the face of a friend of mine, a friend who happens to be the 2nd most prolific contributer of code to my open source game called "Space Nerds in Space". One of the human astronauts was bald, the other had a mullet, and the long portion of their hair was not entirely unlike my own hair.

I've been trying unsuccessfully to have good conversations about AI ethics for quite a while. This thread has 59 comments, and more than half of them aren't about veganism - so yeah, I think it worked.

Webpages were designed to avoid complex state management. URLs, HTML and forms, i.e the original REST, is a model with a lot of power and flexibility, and almost none of the complexity of desktop UI toolkits.

Frontend web frameworks have their use in rich apps, but using them for general web pages is just complicating things for no good reason.
