Yeah, I largely agree. This is one reason I'm inclined to support direct-cash-transfer programs like the New Leaf Project in Vancouver, Canada; it dramatically reduces overhead and, according to the study related to that project, actually does a much better job in getting people off the street than managed programs with complex policy and behavior requirements. If the objective is to get people into houses, that's the way to go.

During most of human history, before there were banks, "saving" usually meant saving some form of grain from one year to another. More likely, more than that would be lost to rot, virmin or brigands.

Gold did perhaps not decay the same way, but if the harvest was bad one year, the price of grain could go up radically, so saving grain directly was safer. Also, grain was harder to steal.

As society became more complicated, one could pay a goldsmith to store the gold in a vault, though there was still a risk that the gold would be lost to fraud or robbery, eventhough the vault was still probably safer than to store gold in private homes (if you did not live in a castle).

Up until this point, the time preference of money would tend to be negative whenever people were saving. Better to eat normal today and be sure to have enough next year, than to eat double today and maybe starve next year.

Some goldsmiths would lend this gold to lenders, at an interest, and the honest ones would pay the depositors an interest in turn, to compensate for the increased risk. Still, it did happen that banks went bankrupt, and deposits would be lost.

Only in the last handful of generations have governments guaranteed the bank deposits, and only for a limited amount.

Meanwhile we had the industrial revolution, and the population and economy was booming more or less for 200-250 years. This, combined with the growing banking system, caused a positive time preference for money, and people started to expect that saving was not only safe, but should also produce profit, not just safety.

Lately, however, both the economy and population have stopped growing, more or less, and the time preference of money is roughly back to neutral, if not slightly negative.

In such an economy, it simply doesn't make sense to have a currency that allows people, without risk, to "teleport" wealth from now into the future. We already tried that in 1929, with deflation causing mass economic destruction. A lot of savings were still lost when banks went bankrupt.

With a moderate interest rate (ideally around 2%), the economy can handle a somewhat negative time preference for money as much the population gets older and less in need of instant consumption. When the interest rate for deposits is lower than cash savings, the difference can be seen as the insurance premium for relatively risk free storage of value. Those who want a profit (or at least lose less), have to accept some more risk, and invest in other, riskier asset classes in such times.

As long as the interest rate is low, the currency still functions as intended as a medium of exchange and measure of value, while still being tolerable as a short term store of value.

Clearly, though, as the inflation goes to 10% and beyond, all features of the currency are hurt.

But next time you're annoyed that your deposit falls in value about 2% in a year, just imagine how it would be if you were saving grain in a silo, and found that the rats had been eating half of it.
"Comments go out of date quickly" is true -- it's the "there's no point in investing in them" that's incorrect. In addition to being valuable in the short term (to both you and anyone else who ends up looking at the code), "comment just became outdated" is a highly valuable signal that a prior assumption made by other code could now be false, and you should look into that.
Why not use the uC to implement a secret compartment on the drive instead? Like switch between two flash chips.

When the cops plug in the drive, they see the content you want them to see. And there are no hidden partitions or anything: your uC passes through all signals to a complete storage device. They can examine the partitions at the block level, and all that; nothing is hidden.

You have some mechanism to instruct the uC to switch different storage device (which, of course, is encrypted so that it's protected should it be discovered).

Well, it certainly helps confirm my theory that Leetcode interviews are actually just intelligence tests.
Depending on the nature of your memory and thought process, the insights gained from potentially-false statements in the documentation when they are true might be outweighed by the blind alleys and misunderstandings generated when they are false. You'd have to be very good at remembering where things came from and tagging them with their level of certainty. An important skill! But not a trivial one.
What is even worse is the ipad has no default calculator (or weather app).

> This is just nonsensical speculating, unless we understand the internal motivations of Apple’s decision makers

No, your reasoning is nonsensical, you can defend anything with that argument. If you apply it to the rest of the world then no one can do evil because you can never know someone's true motivations... at a certain point you have to draw conclusions from actions, and it's pretty hard to see Apple's actions as not intending to maximise wealth extraction at this point, sure "tech" stuff still happens there out of some necessity and momentum, but the people at the helm clearly have a singular goal.

If your argument is merely that strong inference is flawed, then you are in for a lot of disappointment with reality in general, since 99.9% of what everyone does every day is based upon it out of necessity.
I think this is the real story here.

Educational attainment for intellectual gratification is good.

Educational attainment for career and financial condition improvement is also, but independently, good.

It would suck to have a world where only the rich (or perhaps "only the rich plus people for whom their parents are willing to pledge a house they own") can afford to attend high-end colleges.

Docs don't go stale like bread. They atrophy from disuse.

I always force the onboarding process to go through our docs, and I spend a little time with each new person observing their progress looking for regressions in the docs. You can't get that with old-timers because of the echo chamber/curse of knowledge effect.

This breaks down when you have a place that never hires new people. And rather than thinking that's a flaw in my process, I'm starting to think that's a flaw in the business itself. Without fresh ideas and feedback a project stagnates.

Ok, if you have a magic, better than blockchain solution that solves the Byzantine generals problem, and allows you to run a global, public, decentralized ledger, with no central authorities, that solves the double spending problem, then I would encourage you to release it and make billions and billions of dollars from that.

If you've got this magic solution, you could make so much money doing the same thing that blockchains and consensus algorithms do, in a better way.

The money is yours for the taking! Or maybe you could win a turning award! Go for it!

Go release a research paper, with your better than blockchain solution, and get a PhD from it, or computer science award, or billions of dollars in funding.

I look forward to you releasing your groundbreaking research paper, and upending the entire industry.

Real questions here, I'm not a Twitter user:

are blue check marks ever re evaluated or audited, and not just for authenticity of the person being who they claim but for the general validity of what they say or report?

Are there other badges similar to the blue check for other things? My understanding is that the blue check is for verifying people are who they claim, is there another badge to signify "hey this person posts legit things with references as a reporter"?

Honestly, this is a surprising statement. I imagine it comes from someone younger, and who has been through much strife?

A human brain isn't fully developed at 19, just because we send 19y olds off to kill in wars doesn't mean they are adults and it certainly doesn't indicate infantilizing a young adult by allowing them growth. If we're talking about a 39y old man, then you can start proselytizing and comparing.

Most of mid-life -> older is validating the "youth is wasted on the young" quote and turning into an old fart. A fudge-ton of humans never had this chance, that doesn't mean we can't grow and allow for it now where circumstances allow.

I find this similar to the student loan forgiveness/free State College conversation in the US. It is almost as ridiculous as "originalism" in interpreting the U.S. Constitution.

it's absolutely doable, especially for someone with the commitment of a chess grandmaster, but the main here issue wouldn't be having the processing power to calculate the moves, it'd be the input bandwidth to update the computer with the moves.

yes a cheater could have - for example - a subdermal implant that vibrates to update them with a killer mid-game line to go down, but, without the internet, it would be a huge uphill struggle to update the board with the moves. certainly not impossible, especially if you were very dedicated, but very, very hard to get right, especially without getting caught under such scrutinous circumstances

Exactly - and that maximum is the "minimum maximum" across all batches of the device. You might get a particularly resilient one that handles the 10V just fine.

The encryption idea makes way more sense, and the means to short out the cap doesn't even require the device to be powered. The only implementation challenge is that now instead of combining a simple circuit with an off-the-shelf mass storage controller, you need to either find one that can read a key from an external source or roll your own using a micro (maybe this is easy with existing libraries?). But if I was a journalist concerned about such things I'd rather pay a premium for the right solution than worry that the police might be sweating from the heat or that the chip in my drive happened to be especially resilient to overvoltage.

No, not currently. Textual inversion requires training the model, which requires gradients to be computed and stored in VRAM, which doesn't happen for normal inference, so larger than usual VRAM is required.

You can do it in around 4 hours on Colab, using HuggingFace's notebook. https://colab.research.google.com/github/huggingface/noteboo...

Then you should be able to take the result (a single text token embedding) and use that locally.

I understand what you are saying. Back then, I felt that donating money to a research University would indirectly provide benefits to the entire world by accelerating the advancement of science and technology.

Like other charitable contributions in the US, it is tax deductible. What that means is donating $100,000 has an after tax cost of around $50,000 depending upon one's tax bracket.

Yes there is accountability, and I usually receive a nice note from a couple of the undergraduates that have their undergraduate research projects funded by my modest endowment.

> When you have so much variety in images, I got acclimatized to them and they all became the same and uninteresting after a while.

IMHO, the results of these image generators also tend to be pretty mediocre. Not terrible, but like those Beeple NFT images: something made by someone of middling talent without inspiration, mainly as an excuse to use tools.

Also, when I played with stable diffusion specifically, the stuff it generated frequently had a horror-show quality, because it has no idea about stuff like how many legs people have.

I wonder if these generators will plateau, because the "throw more training data at it" technique will be undermined by mediocre-to-poor AI generated images.
