>Why should we ban that. //

Well, we have copyright law, so I was starting there, though I'd be personally pretty interested in a state that made copyright very minimal. The question is what type of encouragement do we want in law for the creative arts; I doubt any individual would create the copyright law that lobbying has left us with, but equally I think most people would want to protect human artists somewhat when AIs come to eat their lunch and want to make a plate out of the human artists previous work [it's like a whole sector is getting used to train their replacement, but they're not even being paid whilst they do that].

I can't reply to your many new comments (guess this is a flamewar lol), but

>Liquidity is the amount of cash in the system relative the size of the market for assets. All else equal, adding or removing is the same as adding or removing cash.

Citation needed there buddy. Like you're arguing that the Fed is hoovering up too much cash? Wouldn't QE be anti-liquidity since it's net result is more cash goes to the Fed and QT be pro-liquidity since the opposite happens?

On this earth, liquidity is about transaction velocity, and The Fed taking transactions off the table (by being a guaranteed buyer at every auction) makes non-Fed transactions happen at lower prices. The end.

Anyway, enjoy the end of this flamewar.
It's a shame that FoundationDB went closed source when it did, since that was the key period (imo) for database exploration - the early 2010s. If it would've been more popularized then I imagine most people would be using it now.

The nice thing about FDB is that after 3 plus nodes, you can simply add nodes using your cloud provider of choice and it scales pretty nicely while still giving your high availability and fault tolerance.

It's pretty funny to me though to see this - I've been spending a few days building a simple database on top of FDB that supports indexes, secondary indexes and schema migrations backed by json-schema (very, very similar to this, totally independently!)

To get into a little bit, it's not super difficult if you use FDB. FDB is a very bare key value store. It's incredibly low level. You don't even get a notion of collections. You have to implement everything yourself. what it does give you, however, is a giant hash map that will guarantee that items are in sorted order.

so to build what I was describing it's easy:

a collection can be a tuple to map:

(your-app, your-collection, _id, your-model-id-number) => json

e.g.

(hn-app, users, _id, 1) => { _id: 1, username: endisneigh }
(hn-app, users, _id, 2) => { _id: 1, username: reader }

an index can be something like:

(your-app, your-collection, your-field-to-index, index-value, _id, your-model-id-number) => json

e.g.

(hn-app, users, username, endisneigh _id, 1) => { _id: 1, username: endisneigh }
(hn-app, users, username, reader, _id, 1) => { _id: 1, username: reader}

Because FDB gives you transactions, you maintain the index by populating the keys according to the pattern above on your create* and update* operations.

To do something like a schema migration, FDB gives you a get_range operation that you can use to find all keys that have a prefix. So what you'd do is store a value indicating that you're doing a migration into the database, iterate through the keys in a batch (so it's all a single transaction), update the value in the db saying what the last key you've migrated is, and continue until you've done all of the keys.

A lot of stuff is pretty trivial once you assume the underlying semantics are solved. I've seen some interesting projects involving things like using FDB as a virtual file system for SQLite, but the problem with that is FDBs primitives are actually flexible, and so there are optimizations you can make if you built it using those primitives from the beginning, as opposed to using FDB as simple a key value store without taking advantage of the transactions.

-------

On another note, one idea I've had (feel free to steal) is to reimplement IndexedDB using FoundationDB. IndexedDB is also a key value store which supports transactions, like FDB. Obviously IDB is not networked.

The idea is that if you can semantically map IDB with FDB, then you could use FDB as a store for IDB (scoped to the user, of course). And then any app that uses IDB for its storage (like an offline app) could use FDB as the backing without having to use a different set of data structures to actually represent the storage.
In reality it sync the memory first to the other host and only pause the vm when the last state sync is small enough to be so quick the pause is barely measurable.

Why is it more facile and subjective to blame the real visible increases in consumer product and material supply prices than to blame "extreme raises in wages starting a spiral of inflation that started at the bottom of the economic tiers and has worked its way up?"

I just don't see there being any more reasonable objective cause and effect to that claim than the claim made by the commenter you are replying to. On the other hand in my own industry, prices for materials like lumber and steel have shot up massively causing major follow-on effects, and nobody at the steel mills are blaming worker salary for it. They're blaming the costs of the raw materials. And the people on the job site aren't blaming the tradespeople wages for the project going over budget, they're blaming the high cost of the steel showing up on site, late.

When workers are an issue for project delivery or budget it's usually not what they're charging, it's just availability. There are simply not enough field workers out there who can drive steel rivets or manage a punchlist. In fact, I hear rising wages brought up as a potential way to attract more people to the those field roles, because right now there are not enough people entering those roles.

It probably live-migrates your VM to a physical machine that has a GPU available.

...if there are any GPUs available in the AZ that is. I had a hell of a time last year moving back and forth between regions to grab just 1 GPU to test something. The web UI didn't have a "any region" option for launching VMs so if you don't use the API you'll have to sit there for 20 minutes trying each AZ/region until you managed to grab one.

They do have air superiority, it's just not the air superiority we use to see when the US is involved in a war.

Air superiority during WW2 meant that your fighter+recon force is dominant in the 3rd dimension. You can have air superiority and suffer more from air interdiction than the enemy (and usually that's how it goes btw, see WW2 and Korea war).

Air superiority is needed to be able to send your attack planes in enemy territory overtly, which the russian do. Not much, but they do.

Like i said, i took fairly large numbers to explain why the airforce didn't do much (i don't remember the comment but it should be something like 200 outing per day on average, when in the first gulf war, the US managed 800 outing a day on average for 43 days, on a smaller country with better terrain).

Now, the real number? I think that of their 800 attack planes, they only have 300 to 400 available, because of what we've seen of their equipment and the rampant corruption.

I don't think they have enough mechanics to prepare more than a hundred planes a day originally, and they stupidly lost some their mechanics during the first week of the war (encamped in a Ukrainian airport on the frontline). I think this is the reason whay the outing are so reduced compared to the early days in fact.

That, I agree, is very true.

I recall the horrible stress and anxiety I experienced early on in high school when I ran out of time in a mathematics exam and thus couldn't complete all of it. Panic started to set in because I faced the dilemma of having to decide which of the questions I could best answer (and that was far from being clear). The alternative option was to sketch out parts of more of the questions and leave each partially unanswered (on grounds of obtaining some marks fór at least having some knowledge of the material).

I cannot remember exactly what I did but I think it was a mixture of those two approaches. What I vividly do recall however was that I wrote a somewhat sarcastic comment on top of my examination paper with words to the effect that the examination was too long to do within the allotted time.

Under the circumstance, that wasn't the wisest of moves, it didn't win me any Brownie points with the teacher. Also, I was ridiculed and humiliated by my classmates as they laughed and crackled at me when the teacher stopped to read my comment out during his handing out of the marked papers.

I can't remember what marks I received except that it was borderline fail (and I can't even remember what side of the line the marks were on). I do recall the only consolation I had was that some kids received lower marks in the examination than I did.

There are two reasons for why that exam remains particularly memorable, the first is that it was first [but not the last] time I'd done badly in what I considered an important and key subject (unlike languages which back then I considered of little importance—much to my later chagrin and regret); and second, I knew that I could have done much better if I had had more time to compete it. Still that's hardly a reasonable excuse for being poorly prepared (which was a fact).

Here, I'd also make a distinction between examinations where one simply doesn't know answers to questions and those where one cannot provide satisfactory or adequate answers in the time available (for whatever the reasons), as marks won't necessarily provide an accurate assessment of a student's actual knowledge of a subject.

Again, that's unlikely to be a problem if one is sufficiently prepared. Nevertheless, there are some students who are particularly adept at doing well in exams and I'm quite envious of them or their ability. Especially, so those who've less interest in a subject than me and or who have demonstrated by other means that they've less knowledge of it than I have.

So be it, the world's not fair, and neither are examinations the ideal way to determine one's knowledge—but likely they're still the best method we have for said purpose.

Inflation has many causes and psychology is one of them. If you think prices are going to keep rising, you will be more likely to spend your money to "lock in" the price right now. If enough people do this, it adds demand to the system which keeps prices high and prolongs inflation. If too much money in the economy alone caused inflation it would been apparent between 2008-2020.

> A lot of major poker sites withdrew from the U.S. market as a result.

That's a nice way to put it.

In reality, they all flaunted the (bullshit) law, and set up all kinds of phony businesses and things to process all the payouts, because banks wouldn't do gambling stuff. I got a check from a golf shop once. Then the feds went after them on fraud and similar charges, and shut down Full Tilt, Poker Stars, and Absolute. Seized domains and funds and stuff.

That's when they "withdrew from the U.S. market."

Wait, it's really hard to follow you here.

The Fed reduces liquidity by receiving coupon payments? So then, unless it's growing its balance sheet by the amount of those payments (i.e. returning that cash to market), it's removing liquidity?

Interesting take, I like the moxy.

EDIT: You have QE/QT backwards. QE increases the money the Treasury sends to the Fed as coupon, which you said removes liquidity.

My entire point was that you are backwards in one of your two conflicting arguments.
