IDK what OP believes, but to me, the "Boglehead" strategy is great, with giant caveats.

Most devotees I talk to get visibly frustrated when I suggest that you can look at larger macroeconomic forces, like COVID, supply chain issues, Fed manipulations(both positive and negative) and make educated predictions on the direction of stocks. My guess is that these are folks who just don't want the frustration of learning about these things, and I get that. It is a significant cognitive load to maintain an understanding and awareness of market influencing factors.

I use a family member as an example who was told by their money manager to move to cash at the beginning of the year. That wasn't just dumb luck. Was it a sure bet? Nothing is in this world. Do you bring a winter coat to a July outdoor event in Phoenix? I mean, it could be cold, right? But yet the writing was on the wall for the direction equities and bonds would take this year.

Can you perfectly time the bottom? No. It's also important not to be too conservative. The majority of gains in a stock market cycle are made in the first sprint out of the gate when everyone is still fearful. But you can know when things are peaking and GTFO before the slide. You don't need to be Michael Burry to spot these things either. You just need to not watch CNBC and Cramer or any of the other paid shills.
You're looking for any specific type of developer? Depends on it - are you looking for general developer, specific framework or stack related, etc.

Kayaks are long and skinny. The shells of giant pumpkins are think. I think you'd have trouble getting enough flotation. You need something with a better surface area to volume ration, a boat more like a hemisphere. I'm thinking a coracle mold. But then, that's basically what a giant pumpkin is already.
It's certainly not a good option. It's also one of the best options available on the market, save completely opting out of tech.
I agree with your general assessment of the economy, but those are all factors everyone knows.

The adjustment we saw earlier this year was going from “the economy is booming and interest rates will be 0 forever” to “interest rates are going to 4% and we’re going to have a recession.” That’s an absolutely massive adjustment in expectations and stock prices, especially of high growth tech companies, reflect that adjustment.

In order for valuations to drop substantially further, a similar expectation adjustment would need to happen. Something like “I thought we were going to have a recession but now it’s worse than the Great Depression”. Simply adjusting expectations from “minor recession” to “moderate recession” isn’t big enough to crater the markets like we saw earlier this year.

There is so much interesting stuff going on in GPU compute that isn't crypto. I'm really excited about this because there are SO MANY gpus that are now going to be cheaper than sand. There is A LOT that can be made of that and I intend to get mine. I think the crypto boom really covered up what we can really, really do with GPU compute and possibly stifled adoption and innovation but now we've got so many just sitting around. Which is super useful as we move more into a world after being able to get things manufactured and shipped world wide in what feels like an instant.

> The speed limit is absolutely not the right single value in heavy rain / fog / snow / etc.

Obviously. The number I suggested is 1) an upper limit not a lower limit 2) a limit, not a suggestion 3) lower than the current upper limit on pretty much all cars.

> The speed limit is also not the single correct value in case of some freak occurrence where it's better for everyone involved to exceed the limit briefly to avoid collision.

Sure. That's why I suggested a number higher than the highest speed limit in North America.
> Can you provide a concrete example?

Sure. I spent a few weeks looking for an Xbox Series X, and I don't believe that I'm exaggerating when I say that 90%+ of the listings were scams. For about half of those, the scammers just weren't very good, and automated or semi-automated checks should've flagged those listings before anyone saw them. The other half were various scams documented in thousands of articles by a cottage industry created in lieu of anti-abuse measures.

A deflationary system awards each market participant with an equitable increase of purchasing power relative to the increase in demand for earning more units through value creation. I'd imagine that would shift some social responsibility from being more centralized to being more decentralized. The Gini Index over time has only been trending up toward 100, signaling a growing environment of inequality. Having said that I do believe that we tend to oscillate between central and decentralized governance of social responsibility and technology innovation around how we transfer value (money) enables a shift away from one end of the spectrum.

I feel like there is a risk of sabotage through complacency and a refusal to adapt to competition. People looking for rentals and homes to buy don't go to craigslist first, they do to sites like Zillow and Redfin. As I've mentioned in a different response, the spam and junk listings are a persistent problem and none of the spam seems particularly sophisticated or hard to stop - most are literally the same image and content with a ton of tags posted under different categories.

To reduce the adverse effects of fake evidence (eventually called deepfake), off and on since 2004, and especially since ten years ago, I've been thinking up, NOT DETECTION methods, but prospective, pro-active methods to instrument a data stream, to increase the odds that video, audio, or other time-series data (including e.g. scientific experimental data) eventually can be proven to have been created from real life (and not faked) at the time & place claimed.

This is not just "proof of existence" by inserting hashes of content into a Merkle tree, like Haber & Stornetta implemented in 1990 and like we talked about on the Cypherpunks email list in the early 1990s, although of course that would be part of a complete system.

Nor is it relying on just the metadata that e.g. TruePic uses. I have been developing additional methods to asymptotically approach provability that the content depicted actually happened in real life. Think undetectable watermarks by multiple observers (courts want to see multiple witnesses) but it goes beyond that.

Relevant to this are efforts by CAI, C2PA, and companies like TruePic. I am hoping my methods are different enough, with little enough overlap, that we can realize them without licensing their IP. My goal is a more decentralized system that protects the privacy of witnesses.

My contact info is in my profile. I'd love to discuss this with anyone. I'd even be relieved if someone would explain that my ideas are not useful, or already have been done, or even would have unintended negative consequences for society. (It's hard to stay current in the relevant literature on signal processing, steganography, cryptography, and zero-knowledge proof, plus politics and game theory.)

I would even considering simply donating my trade secrets (such as they are) to some person or organization who impresses me as sincere and likely to move them forward, to avoid having to sit on them hands-off (again) during my tenure at (yet another) company that is about to offer me a full-time job today to work on something unrelated. While some of my ideas "toward authenticatability" may have been ahead of their time when I first wrote them up ten years ago, they probably aren't anymore, so the window is (at best) closing now.

> The built in browser validation takes precedence over the javascript validation that is custom built.

What I do is I actually implement my custom validation with the constraint validation API (input.setCustomValidity()) and display the errors from there (using input.validationMessage). The custom validation actually takes president over other errors, if you don’t want that you can conditionally only set custom validity to a non-empty string when input.validity.valid === true.

There is one annoying part about this method, it is that invalid form will prevent the submit event from firing. This means that you have to put novalidate attribute on your form and fire the validation manually (using form.checkValidity() during the submit event; don’t use form.reportValidity() unless you want the browser to impose on your UI design). Now you can do whatever you want during the submit event, including: a) preventing it if the form is invalid, b) displaying error messages however you want by manipulating the DOM, and c) move the focus to whichever invalid input element you want.

I know this is involved, but it isn’t hard for a front end developer that knows what they are doing. The point is that a front end developer knows how to work with the platform (not against it) by using the same APIs as the platform does. In the case of <input type=number> that API is the constraint validation API. If you don’t use it, but still want custom behavior, you are going to have a bad time, and that is not the platform’s fault (and certainly not the fault of any one element in it).

If only I could eat a PCB.
Yes, it most definitely is true. The company I work for designs and sells somewhat niche products geared towards photographers which we sell via our own website, retail camera stores and on Amazon. Since we do not allow our retailers to sell on Amazon so we are the only official seller of our products on the marketplace.

We ran a sale for Labor day where we discounted our products on our website, but did not discount them on Amazon. Within 36 hours of the prices being reduced on our website we started to receive notifications from Amazon that our "offers" were ineligible due to not having the lowest price. Upon checking the listings, they had removed the buy box, essentially making it a multiple-click process for anyone to actually buy the products.

This happens anytime we, or any of our retailers that have an ecommerce presence discount our products without discounting them on Amazon. It's ridiculous.

> Amazon should have no ability to dictate

Well, in a perfect world a marketplace like Amazon should be able to do whatever they want, and if the merchants & customers don't like it they can take their business somewhere else. Market forces, consumer choice, etc.

Except in this case, Amazon has basically made that impossible with their illegal monopolization of e-commerce.

Microsoft loves Figma, it’s cozy relationship with Adobe put to test [Aug 25]
Not to be “that guy,” but Craigslist has changed a lot over the years. They’ve kept the same coat of paint on it (visual design) but the way it works evolves continuously.

For one obvious example, search results come up in cards now by default and you can use hover arrows to go through the photos on each one. It is far more visual experience today than it was when search results were a compact list of text titles.

And depending on what you search, there are tons of specific filters that show up in the left column. Search “sailboat” and you can filter on make/model, propulsion, length overall, year manufactured, price, miles from location, etc. It works a lot more like eBay or other modern e-commerce sites than the blue links and default fonts let on.

Keeping the old fonts and colors seems sort of like the famous door-desks at Amazon. It looks like a functional decision, but really the main point is to represent a particular viewpoint of the job.
Burrito Optimization Game
I know this is a drive-by joke, but in fact speculative bubbles (crypto among them) were among the big drivers of last year's inflation hump. Production was still suppressed by the pandemic, lots of expenditures (travel, etc...) were likewise suppressed, yet bank account balances were still around and wanting to be spent.

Broadly: what do you do when you can't go to Cancun like you planned? You bet on Doge and GME, apparently. (Or you declare yourself a "VC" and start handing out checks to 20-something quarantined hackers.) Then you just end up with more money you can't spend.
Oh, you can.

AFAIK Emad Mostaque is not (yet) an AI expert at all, he's a rich guy (former hedge fund manager) building a business that provides the funding for AI experts to do their thing. Stable diffusion itself was built by a team of academics [1], Emad is not a coauthor. Not to take away anything from what he's accomplished -- it's quite incredible -- but it doesn't mean he knows how to (learn to) build AI systems or do AI research himself.

The point isn't that ordinary computers can beat Google's QC for some constructed problem. The QC can always be programmed to work on a harder problem.

The issue in this case is that the Google authors misrepresented what was possible on a supercomputer by many orders of magnitude and presented that as an example of supremacy. In addition to solving a useless problem with no application, they basically used FUD to trash their competitor.

If you want t o convince the larger community, always show your competitor the greatest respect and don't handicap them. It's hard to trust Google's team (well, Martinis left) after that.

Such a strange thing, that a comment like this on a Friday afternoon would completely blow my mind.
What I'm trying to figure out is if they had to spend their own money before spending the loan. Otherwise it's strange to say that the money went to either payroll or "specific things such as building maintenance." The money went to the employer, and in return they wouldn't lay off so many employees that their 24-week payroll would fall below 60% of the amount of the loan (and a possible requirement that they'd have to spend the difference between the amount of the loan and the 24-week payroll on capital improvements?)

Did they at least have to prove that it would be financially beneficial for them to do layoffs?

> Of course this program was highly flawed. But it was thrown together quickly in response to the pandemic.

Eh, this isn't a deep dive, these are basic questions about the concept. Not that a deep dive wouldn't be warranted with tens or hundreds of billions at stake.
>If you took away the commission, then they would be relegated to a search engine that relies on ad revenue only.

They'd also still be a major corporation / quasi-monopoly that powers like 80%+ of the internet and is wildly profitable. I see no problem with taking a small cut of their revenue away that they only have due to shady business practices. But Wall Street would cry Won't anyone think of the shareholders?

I wouldn't give a shit if that caused Jeff's net worth to drop 5% or 10% - the guy would still have more money than the rest of the world save for 4 or 5 people rather than just 1 or 2 people.
