I don't dispute the validity of the claims made at all, however I believe strongly that failing global transport networks and population crashes are going to swamp these effects in terms of our day to day existence, and make it far worse.

The security that allowed global transport of goods across the "free world" was a bribe offered by the United States to buy compliance from other nations for its security policies against the Soviet Union. We're backing away from those promises now that the cold war was won.

The urbanization of the world has had some long term consequences, as people move into urban areas, the have fewer children, leading to many populations not having sufficient numbers of children and younger people entering the population pyramid to support those older than themselves. China has a real problem they can't solve in this regard.

Deglobalization has begun, supply chains that rely on cheap reliable trans-national shipping are unsustainable, and need to be replaced. This compounds the effects highlighted in the original posting. It's not pessimistic enough!
It is more extreme in China than in America. In addition to sex, lgbt, and other things of a similar nature, movies with magic are especially rejected. Ever notice how movies seem to be getting more bland and milk/toast each year? its because there is a lot of money in China, and China only accepts a few foreign movies each year. Disney, Warner Bros, etc. all want a slice of that pie so they comply with Chinese censors as much as they can to get in. Germany is almost as bad, I agree, but companies aren't stooping to Germany. They stoop to China for the money, and it affects the whole of the west as a result.
The stable diffusion model will replace the v3 model soon as it's actually superior in coherence and details (I don't know how you can actually say otherwise) but the model v3 will still be available as the v2.

I think the fundamental fear is to fear that one may waste one's whole life, achieving nothing and having no friend and dying alone.

This fear creates all other fears such as the one described in topic.
College costs have skyrocketed because there are fewer colleges per people than there are foods or houses per people.

If housing in one place get too expensive you can move to a place with cheaper housing.

You can’t really do the same for colleges. Reputation is not something you can simply manufacture more of.

The comparison is not even remotely valid.
A lot of energy was imported from Russia via Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipeline. Since the Ukraine war, Russia has been placed under embargo and itself reduced gas deliveries to Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nord_Stream

Direct from this article:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/08/26/europe-energy-crisis-na...

Normally, Europe can refill its gas storage during the summer and coast in the winter, when usage is higher. Now, with colder months looming and Russia’s tightening chokehold on natural gas flows, Europe has been locked in a race against time to fill its tanks, which leaders have stocked by paying eye-watering prices. So far, experts said, European nations have been largely on track with their plans—but that doesn’t mean that they will be out of the woods come winter.

In the winter, Europe typically “uses a lot of what it has in storage while, at the same time, importing lots of gas from other sources,” Munton said. “It needs both. But as we think about this winter, there is a very real threat that there won’t be any Russian gas at all.” In normal times, Russian gas supplies about 40 percent of European imports.

Without Russia’s supply in the winter, Munton added, European nations will be forced to rely on imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) even more from suppliers such as the United States. The problem is that Asia—a larger LNG market—is also vying for the same supplies, which means prices are always going to be higher than old piped gas from the East.

“That’s really the crisis that Europe and the world confronts,” he added.

As Europe abandons Moscow’s energy supply, many leaders have rushed to secure alternative deals and supplies with other countries. Italy has secured more gas from Algeria while other nations have turned to Azerbaijan, Norway, and Qatar. Germany has also expressed its hopes for a new LNG deal with Canada, which in turn has been considerably less optimistic. Others have invested considerably more into LNG infrastructure, with Germany racing to build five floating LNG terminals and the Netherlands, Finland, and Italy all preparing for more floating units to import gas.
Blockbuster was given a death sentence by the market. Seems like justice done?

>they earn above the average european salary, so like 140K EUR/year or so: Java, no HN, no Linkedin, no FAANG, no leetcode, no switching jobs every 2 years

Do you have more details about the country and industry? As this is way way above the Java dev salaries in Austria and they'd kill for this kind of money without grinding leetcode. Nobody pays Java devs that kind of money here.

Positions like these don't grow on trees and since you say there's no leetcode, Linkedin or big-tech involved, I'm guessing there's other forms of gatekeeping for such a lucrative and easy gig, like having the right industry connections or knowing the right people in order to hear about the openings I would assume, as if they were to advertise this salary on Linkedin or other places they would be drowning in quality applicants, for even less money than that.
You can just take money with the numbers. A business can just ask for ACH account info for payments. That means a customer could use someone else's "numbers" to fraudulently buy thigs. And maybe that other person wouldn't be liable for the fraudulent transaction, but the customer would still have the stuff they bought without leaving an ID behind.
Not related to the article, but how would one begin to become smart on optimizing GPU workloads? I've been charged with deploying an application that is a mixture of heuristic search and inference, that has been exclusively single-user to this point.

I'm sure every little thing I've discovered (e.g. measuring cpu/gpu workloads, trying to multiplex access to the gpu, etc) was probably covered in somebody's grad school notes 12 years ago, but I haven't found a source of info on the topic.
"Instead what he’s actually suggesting isn’t an empirical test at all: it is a quantitative, statistical test of data none of which can be empirically verified because it all happened in the past; only the statistical analysis is subject to empirical verification."

Devereaux points out that that is not empirical verification. Past events cannot be sense-experienced.
If reversibility is needed any "cryptocurrency extremist" will tell you that there is no trustless solution to this kind of transaction and that a trusted intermediary (usually an escrow) is needed.

This is what happens with fiat money anyways, it is just so intimately mixed by now (credit cards, ACH, etc.) that you figure it's the only kind of transaction that exist or should exist.

Crypto is providing an alternative to this point of view, if you don't think you need it, don't use it, pretty straightforward... and if you want to stop it because you want people to think like you, try to stop it, let's have fun.
What if it is very simple but the article still gets it wrong?

The article argues that income is necessary for trade and therefore work which is kind of correct by accident, you need a medium of exchange to trade and work.

No income means no medium of exchange and hence an inability to trade and work.

So what is the solution? Supply and demand, the very thing that economists appear to have forgotten a long time ago, just think about it what it means to have axiomatic scarcity i.e. infinite demand. It means demand and supply will never be in balance. It doesn't take much to recognize that such an axiom is ridiculous and the fact that it is empirically disproven is just one more sad story we have to tell each other to stay grounded in reality.

If economics is a game then games can be finished until there is an update or expansion.

What does the very simple concept of supply and demand being in balance predict? It obviously predicts that all savings are bounded in time as any eternal savings would violate supply and demand. What do we observe in the economy? Eternal savings, quite literally in the form of cash. To make all savings bounded in time, economists have started inflation rate targeting.

Now imagine, you are a rational business owner and you build factories to mill grain and bake bread. You accidentally build one factory too many, it still costs you money to keep it staffed and ready to produce, yet the redundancy is useful if there is a famine, just in case we do need extra bread. However from the business owners perspective it would be better to close the factory and liquidate it into money and then... do absolutely nothing because it costs him nothing and his savings are eternally guaranteed by artificial interventions like the deposit guarantee and the government bailing the banks out at the cost of tax payers.

Okay let's get to the point, the business owner doesn't like an empty factory because it carries business risk and costs him money, but he likes money because the risk is carried by others and it is free at no cost to him. One person has too much money and doesn't invest it, if the money supply doesn't grow endlessly through more debt, then someone else ends up with too little money. The person with too little money has legitimate interests and a desire to work but no ability to do so. At no point is the bottleneck ever in the productive economy and if it was, it would be reflected through higher wages, there would be a scarcity of workers, not a scarcity of the medium of exchange.
The process that has led to our phones scanning everything we do and condemning us in an opaque extrajudicial process began with much smaller violations of privacy and trust — analysis of our emails, tracking our movement with cookies, and so on. When these practices were introduced, some people complained, saying they were part of a motion that could only ratchet in one direction: toward ubiquitous surveillance and corporate control over more and more of our lives.

Cut to just a few years later, and here we are: "shutting it off would be immoral and potentially criminal". We can't go back! So, that clicking sound you hear is the ratchet turning.
Sure a caloric deficit will produce weight loss. Obviously. But reducing calorie intake alone does not guarantee a calorie deficit. While there is of course some level of unavoidable caloric expenditure, the average person has a fair bit of expenditure that is quite avoidable.

It is not hard for the body to discourage unnecessary caloric expenditure in response to a notable caloric deficit. Indeed, doing just that is a basic famine survival instinct.

Now given the decidedly non-famine conditions, eventually things should restablize, but it does mean for a person at caloric equilibrium, reducing caloric intake by say 500 Calories, will often not result in a 500 calorie deficit, but a smaller one for for quite some time until the body adjusts to this being the new normal.

In the mean time, the person likely feels like shit. Furthermore, If there actually is food available, the body and subconscious mind is doing everything it can to encourage the person to eat more.

This substantial resistance of the body to attempts to run meaningful caloric deficits for an extended period are a not insignificant portion of why "dieting" often fails. People don't stick with it, since it majorly sucks.

I've heard and read anecdotaly that the Soviet Union by the late 1980s the average citizen was very far from being a kind of true believer in their own media media that I see here in this time. Perhaps they were less skeptical before the 80s I don't know. The 1980s was very demoralizing to the soviets from what I've heard. There was the famous Chernobyl accident and a very unpopular war in Afghanistan (I am not aware of the history of it beyond that). By my reading it appears that the average Russian had more skin in that game than the average American since there was conscription.

The economy was hurt and I read the phrase "They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work" was something that was a common feel at that place and time.

I am happy to read that many soviets actually did consider other countries news to weight and consider it per the Francis Bacon command.

From everyone I know in person, I've never met anyone still living who feels the same way.

Without communication and cooperation and the consumption of other views society becomes either beholden to 5 corps owning it all or eventually the collective media loses all of its credibility like in the USSR. The reason for this is, the media will lead the country off a cliff. See what happened to the Nazi media. None of it exists today. Germany exists.

It was never hip to fraternize with an public enemy though movies were made to it and books have been written. The enemy is a lot more similar than we know. Would you simply clam up if an angry neighbor was trying to get your audience about a car half parked on his lawn. Maybe you could explain it isn't your car. Or you could move the car. Now a days in some parts of the country if you are in a morally bankrupt city, some guy might shoot and not give it many other thoughts. It applies internationally too. We don't have to like them and we don't have to be beholden to it's wishes but simply dismissing all concerns by reason of it being a kind of imaginary black hole for truth is not very reasonable. Did the soviets ever ever get any where near as willing to close one eye at all times?

that doesn't work if you don't have the hub, meaning you need two ports plus also to buy this hub and carry the hub around with you everywhere you go with your laptop, and add in the hassle of dealing with it

that is significantly less convenient and more expensive than a computer that has the same functionality without needing the extra hardware or a bag to carry around "accessories" that bring the laptop up to snuff
I used to wonder "What would Social Networking look like if it were based on self-hosted pages written with microformats like h-card[0]?", but presumably the answer is "a privacy nightmare" (even more so than existing social networks).

Perhaps a better answer to that question is "the Fediverse", which is based on ActivityPub. Unfortunately, though, there still seem to be open questions about how well/widely the Fediverse supports something like "circles" (the concept that Google Plus had) for selectively sharing content with different groups of people.

Never mind that Lisp solved references, pointers, macros, byte-compilation and native compilation before the calendar flipped from 1969.

Lisp was compiled by around 1960.

Peter Landing, in 1964, presented the SECD machine, a kind of bytecode based on Lisp-like lists, directly usable for Lisp implementations, in "The Mechanical Evaluation of Expressions". Numerous Lisps have historically had some kind of "Lisp Assembly Language" (LAP) as an alternative or in addition to native compilation.

ZetaLisp, in 1981, the variant of MacLisp running on Lisp machines, featured locatives, which allow the address of a location to be passed around, for simulating reference parameters or members.
How many years until we can generate a feature length film from a script?
Nice! I have a Hugo site I’ve tweaked over the years, and my workflow is similar to yours. I create/edit an MD file, then run a shell command which pushes changes to Github, which triggers a redeploy.

How do you handle images? That’s my main annoyance / biggest hurdle when publishing. I have to take each image, resize it for web, put it in static folder, and reference that pathname in the MD file. Not a big deal, but would love an easier way. I suppose I could write a simple shell script that does all of the resizing and prints out a path back for me to use.

FDIC Insurance has nothing to do with ACH fraud - it covers cases where the bank itself fails. NACHA has its own process for ACH disputes/reversals/returns.

Not sure what GAAP and double entry accounting has to do with this.

The fraud here is not from end users "crafting a malicious ACH payload". End users don't interact with NACHA in that way. The more common case is when users, via their bank, are doing ACH Pulls from accounts that they shouldn't be. Most banks that offer direct ACH Pulls to their customers use a third party like Plaid Identity or microdeposits to prove ownership of an external account prior to initiating the ACH Pull. This is not 100% effective always - disclosure: I work at a neobank and I am directly involved in building systems to prevent/mitigate ACH fraud.

> It has approximately zero to do with UX and product design/iteration approaches.

The connection is that if the commit changes how the product works in a way noticeable to the user, then the user must suffer the changes frequently. Since changes incur a cost to the user, it's requiring the user to constantly be paying those costs.

If the deployment happened less frequently, then the user would incur the cost less frequently, and perhaps in a way they could schedule when to take the change on so it is the least disruptive to them.
