This guy is very wishy-washy with his definitions and research, considering how strong his headline is. In order to fully answer the question of how cancelling student debt actually impacts money supply over the full lifetime of the loan, we'd have to know how exactly those loans were granted, as well as how the proceeds from collection are generally being used.

If those loans were granted through banks (effectively, regardless of what the sticker said) and those loans won't be repaid after the cancellation, then yes, this would be inflationary. If, however, the loans were originally paid out from the federal budget and the proceeds also went into the federal budget, then effectively this would result in an increase government deficit (resulting in an increase in government debt or reduction in government spending, or both, depending on your behavioral model of the government). The same goes if the loans were initially granted through banks and the government repays the bank loans even after cancelling the debt - it's not inflationary, it's deficitary.

Exactly.

Even in the midwest where humidity, salt and freezing temps are significant issues the 1940s tech can still work after much disuse if care is taken to get it running properly. Check out youtube there are plenty of "Will it run" videos highlighting this design feature.

Now put a current technology battery in a similar situation and by comparison it is depressing. What we stand to lose is important to retain.

I would love to see EV work well at replacing ICE. It is not today's reality for me or many others in my demographic (outside of the suburban coastal metro areas).

Perhaps when Aluminum, Sulfur, Salt batteries are available that will change. We'll see how that new tech develops.

The novelty here is that the bulk of this is about the image nature of Common Lisp. The fundamental meta-class is all well and good and interesting, but this is about defining, and REdefining these structures in a living CL image and coping with the changes in place.

In contrast to most other systems, where the static build is simply that -- static. As a user, you don't have to worry so much about this. Not that it's not possible in other systems, it most certainly is. Other systems have very dynamic object structures. But they're typically bound within a "build and relaunch the world" metaphor of routine complete reset versus the "molding a live image" of the CL workflow.

We don't really deforest in the U.S. for animals from what I understand. This takes place in places like South America. We could control imports/exports and I'd be all for that.

As far as feed though, not all feed is grown exclusively for cattle. I've worked with sugar companies in the past and the by-products of sugar production (molasses, raffinate, etc..) are sold as cattle feed. This is a billion dollar industry. These by-products are being produced regardless of whether we feed cattle or not.
LFSRs were used in game development for many years as "random" number generators that were guaranteed to always produce a series of "random" numbers that returned every value within a range precisely once. It was a way to save memory when you didn't have enough RAM to store the entire list of randomized numbers. It was also used in level generation, e.g. Pitfall, and other games. I used an LFSR in a couple of games for word generation and level layout, which was especially important when you only had 6KB of storage total.
Further, in certain cases (P =? NP is one I know of) it has been proven that certain types[0] of proofs cannot possibly work -- and yet people keep offering "proofs" of those bound-to-be-wrong types.

As i thought this is a question of having a linux on phone, not a political question. My answer is not adequate for political agenda (even if sailfish os is mostly FOSS), but it more than satisfies the technical (having linux on phone).

Actually from all my experience, as a long time rom cooker, who was running angstrom on blueangel, before the android existed, sailfish is our best bet to dethrone google and apple. A small one, but there is at least a chance.

Everything else is lagging too far behind on the verge of useless, as PinePhone has demonstrated.

Just an example, my xperia 10 II phone is running sailfish without any hardware deficiencies, f.i.: bluetooth and fingerprint reader are running fine, working as expected. Battery life is excellent. There are maybe a few android ROM projects that can brag about that and quite frankly they are not very far from the AOSP.

Especially since they tend to be installed in garages, that would be my plan if I get one. Building stuff with casters is something commonly do for my basement or garage.

The idea isn't to move it when it's on fire, but that if a recall is issued, then you can at least move it out of the structure in case it does ignite.

The US Federal Reserve "prints money" in the US, and is insulated, as best as possible, from immediate partisan influence. Obviously, our elected leaders can influence the decisions of the Fed by appealing their case, but they lack a legal mechanism to make the Federal Reserve "print money".

They do, however, have the authority to incur "debt" through spending.

Which … is basically printing money.

But this is true for any system which does not have legal guidelines which constrain spending to revenue capture. Which is a good deal more than "just the US".
> And you have some feminists that exclude trans women.

No "trans woman" is ever a woman. They're men, males. You're trying to take women's rights from females by denying them a way to uniquely identify themselves.

This right here is why "trans rights", as activists choose to define it, can never happen. If you can take the words woman and female, Germany could redefine Jew and China can redefine Uighur, and everyone could identify as black-descendant-of-slavery to access scholarships.

I didn't see anything about EU compliance in the relevant news (and it was relatively big news for such a quotidian change). Possibly the number of people with useless gym etc. memberships after corona was the last straw - these were often 2-3y autorenewing contracts, for fairly large amounts.
Very tongue in cheek answer, but then Jesus dying for our sins is unfair to the newborn baby that was yet to sin (stolen from a bad meme).

I honestly don’t get why we have so little empathy. Just because it sucked for me, I want to suck it for other people as well? Crabs in a buckets mentality is utterly harmful to everybody except those outside that bucket wanting to eat us.

I bought a PinePhone hoping to have some sort of freedom from iOS and at the time the threat of scanning all iCloud uploads.

I played with the PinePhone for a few days, but it really is still a development phone. It has promise but it'll be sitting in a box until the ecosystem matures. I'm really hoping more serious work gets done in making it a daily driver for someone like me, who is very technical but doesn't have the time to figure out why the screen stays dim or how to load in a game that works.

> Perhaps you're talking about a different kind of "churn".

I don't really think I am.

I'm going to pick on your exact example: ip is replacing ifconfig because linux distros are moving to netlink as a replacement for ioctl. Why are they doing that? Hardware support - Particularly WNICs.

So did ifconfig need to be replaced? Strictly speaking, no - but if you want better hardware support - yes...

ifconfig could have been updated, but the problem is that you're adding complexity to the system somewhere, either by expanding the old interface, or by replacing it with a new one.

You can argue expansion would have been preferable to replacement, but I'm not totally convinced - they both have tradeoffs. Someone is paying the piper either way.

The only way to avoid that cost (churn in the existing tool, or churn in the introduction of a new tool) is by not supporting that hardware. Which is what BSD is doing...
Do dall-e2 and stable diffusion models regularly get retrained? If so, as they get retrained using the ouputs of the models scraped from sites like this will we see some sort of mode collapse?

Is it reasonable for hobbyists to retrain these models with reduced or custom image sets or would that require a lot of money in compute?
As native speaker it is perfectly logical and sane compared to English. Then again I suppose that is not exactly high bar.

The Magic of Having Only One Browser Tab
Dangit. This is the sort of thing that's equal parts frustrating and exciting, in that I've had a lot of these ideas independently and this is the first time I'm discovering that someone has implemented them. Especially this infinite canvas idea, which I'm very confident would work wonders for me (and many other people) mostly owing to the power of "spatial memory," which I feel like is a wildly underused human feature. (e.g. memory palaces)
My sort-of-joking-conspiracy-theory is that "Satoshi Nakamoto" was a clandestine sentient AI who invented cryptocurrency as a way to incentivise the hairless monkeys networking together as much processing power as possible.
Exactly. Many options would be fair to consumers AND to merchants. Except the sleazy merchants.
But "relatively affordable in the Bay Area" is still relatively very expensive nationally no?

Maybe the gap is just that the people surveyed overestimated their likelihood of working in a HCOL place (or the sample and/or population in question is legitimately biased toward that)

Thanks for your reply.

I think a critique or analysis of the internal consistency of AGoT is valid and fun! The blog is fascinating in its depth. I just don't think it's necessary to call the books or show "shallow" when they deviate from real-world history or plausibility; like the late Terry Pratchett would argue, it's all about "the story". And the story is engrossing, in my opinion.

You'll get no argument from me about the TV show getting inexplicably rushed and inconsistent in the later seasons. I think most viewers were disappointed by that :(
The Romans killed Archimedes, (eventually) closed all the Greek schools/universities, and decayed into superstition.

Unlike the Greeks, they did not leave the world a better place at the end of their power than they found it at the start.

Many see them as violent and bitter enemies of scientific truth, and there is some foundation for this view.
If balanced, it’s just semantics whether you say that spending is printing money (which is balanced by taxation and bond sales deleting money).

Governments in the general sense are capable of not balancing these items, even if it’s not recommended and sometimes not politically viable. In practice, this is actually the current state of the USA via QE, although I’d argue that doesn’t make QE evil but rather indicates there are some situations where printing money isn’t too bad.
They don’t want you to know but I recently did a same day renewal at Seattle and like Chicago and SF’s offices, there is a line for people without appointments. I’d say I saw 60 people go to that one and maybe half got helped - if that’s helpful info.
I used GPT-3 to generate responses to someone who argued a post is GPT-3 generated on an old account. It was pretty funny - it fooled them, but smaller text is usually harder to detect as bot-generated.
Language fatigue and settling on C seems to be a thing, as I've encountered several people with the same opinion. I wonder what the physiology is behind it.

For me, C is the lingua franca. With C I can read kernel source, I can read systemd source, I can read firmware, boot loader, etc. I want to specialize in the language that gets me the most bang for my buck. Rust is a compelling future, but it's still the future and not the present, and the present doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.

If you're using a cycle a day, it would deteriorate to 80% capacity in just 200 days. The article says it lasts a few hundred cycles. That's not very long.

The tempature isn't a detriment to the battery, in fact it's required to operate efficiently. What it does limit is the suitable applications.
Average American "cardboard house" is better insulated than average European brick or concrete house. Having heavy walls make your house feel "sturdy" but it has nothing to do with energy efficiency. A lot of houses in Europe are just brick or concrete with no additional insulation. In US it's it's rare to have uninsulated houses.

In US more people live in very hot places like Texas and Arizona and people mostly live in single-family houses. Single-family houses obviously takes more energy to cool than "flats". Plus average American house/flat has twice the living area.
Ya I do think we figure it out eventually. But what you mention isn't as cheap as drilling some holes and sucking fluid out.

Timing is the issue. Conflicts over scarce resources is the history of the human race it seems.
Not at all. Without even mentioning plants and bacteria, wolves are canis lupus and dogs are canis familiaris. But interfertility is often a bigger problem between two types of dog than it is between a dog and a wolf.
> No. "Water power is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines"

Which is what powered most factories throughout the industrial revolution. Not using electricity obviously, machines would be connected by belt to overhead power shafts, which were connected to a water wheel.
I think it's pretty mean and doesn't add much, to point out he was wrong about something 5 years ago (even if it's a very well known problem).

AWS/EKS Issues in us-east-1?
Is anyone else experiencing strange issues with AWS EKS clusters? We've been having issues all morning that were recently resolved but we are having a very hard time debugging what happened.

I guess, but you were replying to "I was wondering why docx format would be chosen instead of PDF" seemingly unconvinced, so I assumed you thought PDF would've made more sense.
Sounds like a pretty good investment. What else would you call it?

Also, there are plenty of alternatives: trade schools, bootcamps, etc.

Finally, why introduce stereotypes? This is not the 1950s, you can't and shouldn't say stupid shit like that anymore.
As I understand "death to cows!" has become the new "death to cars!"? Where will they stop?
It's also so slow that significant progress is difficult appreciate. The people who think that Miami is going to be underwater don't realize that that's about _storms_, not sea level rise - which worst case is a few CMs a century.

I'm deeply concerned about climate change re: food production and human health but it's a dream for political campaigns.
> My introverted nature has affected my family life as I withdraw into my own little world. ..Many of my fellow programmers that I have worked with over the years also exhibit some of these tendencies.

I believe many professional writers, artists, even musicians exhibit similar traits - they live in their own self-created worlds, stories, imaginary inner lives - often to the detriment of their social lives in "real" life.

Some are extroverted, some are introverted, but most are solitary brooders and counter-intuitively, exhibitionists at the same time.

This is a beautiful passage from the post.

I was under the impression that C strings were inherently very fast because of how incredibly cache-friendly they are. You should not ever have to count all the bytes (memoize that!) but if you do, this is the best format there is for it.
I mean it seems obvious to me that if you have 100+ restaurants within a 20 min walk, all with near minimum wage workers that is a lot of less wealthy people having to commute in to give you that experience. That's great for you I guess.

You’re assuming the current owners of the land are also going to disappear? If not then why wouldn’t they use the land for other productive purposes. If it’s currently farm land then they would simply change crops. Or maybe they would sell it to a developer who will build a car dependent suburb.
It also could have even driven more slavery, like the cotton gin did to the antebellum south.
