OK but you could maybe render static html frames and fill placeholders with pre rendered html as soon as it is available? (A bit like htmx can do)
Local for the application code on the node you're talking to (just like the read would be local for a Postgres process running on the node), but there's still a network trip to get to the node, no?

Even if the reads are happening locally, if they're going through FUSE (even a "thin" pass-through that does nothing), that means they're getting routed from kernel space to a FUSE daemon, which means you're still doing IPC to another process through a kernel...
Its like monetary policy is only a tiny piece of overall policy.

The big guns is Congress, not the Fed. Possibly the President if you consider things like averting the big Railroad Union strike last week (which would have certainly caused more inflation as shipping costs could have gone up).

Lots of little fires happening around the country. The fed has one lever: interest rates. Congress / President has the other levers.

----------

Still though: we watch the Fed because the prime rate has a large effect on the value of investments, especially in the question of stocks vs bonds. Its important for the individual investor to follow.

I think it's totally possible today, because if you take away peoples' access to payment processors (Paypal, Venmo, Stripe, Mastercard, Visa) and platforms to grow (Instagram, Patreon, Kickstarter, etc) you keep them from getting to a point of gaining legacy, tenure, etc. Crumb can survive as self-employed because he has a name and value that supercedes canceling attempts.

An artist or creator that doesn't have that already is just as vulnerable because they have no weight to throw around. Independence or being underground doesn't matter when you need the same infrastructure as everyone else to survive.
As long as you don't hardcode "expected paths" (like in the FHS) in the filesystem, and expose the expectations you have via some configuration (environment variables and flags are fine), then packaging your software for Nix is pretty straightforward.
The key is that wages also rise (not proportionately) in step with inflation but investment returns don't.

It matters very little if eggs go up by 10% each year if wages go up by 10% each year.

Of course what we have is stagflation: wage growth is not keeping up with inflation. Even then, raising interest rates to cause a recession is a really awful way to hack down a metric. Again: lose a job or lose 3% in real income a year?

In contrast the billionaire losing 10% a year in real terms looks at inflation as a catastrophic outcome and would gladly sacrifice everyone else's well being to keep his numbers up.

Best case scenario we end up in late 2008 with 10% unemployment but with a 10% rate. Place your bets on which drug problem will destroy the working class: opioids again?

Do you have citations for a ruling that AI generated art is not copyrightable? To my knowledge, such a ruling has not been made, so we can at best make wild guesses at what the courts will find.

I don't think this particular wild guess is on the right track; the creative input given to the AI generator was the prompt. There is also an argument to be made that, in the same sense a photograph can be copyrighted even though it's just a single still image from a moment that occurred around it, an Ai-generated artwork can be copyrighted because the artist performed the creative act of retaining it. In essence, they pulled it from the soup of possible outputs and held it up as one worth noting, as a photographer pulls an image from the soup of possible moments and framings.
Not really. A consequence of doing so would be breaking the inter-bank payment system, which is to say crashing the economy with no survivors. The Fed simply must provide adequate reserves to support the payment system. The so-called "dual mandate" of controlling employment and inflation rates is necessarily secondary to that. I mean theoretically sure they could do whatever, but the end result would be the dissolution or restructuring of the Fed by Congress, or worse.

Back in my consulting days one of my clients had an application with nearly all of the business logic being done in-database. The app was essentially a frontend for stored procedures galore and it sat on an absolute monster of a system for its time (~256GB of RAM, 24 or 32 Cores I think). It handled something like 100k DAU with no issue. That was for just the transactional system. They replicated data to other (similar style) systems for less mission-critical things like reporting, billing, etc.

I want to be clear though, I would never recommend anyone do this. For its time it was impressive but I suspect by now it's been re-engineered away from that model, if for no other reason than its a lot of eggs in one basket.
> US is focused on security with a touch of woke censorship.

The US couldn't care less about security. Their approach is "we buy and sell your data and if you are in the US the government can use any and all data at any point for any reason".

European view isn't maximalist in the least. Europe, thankfully, still still remembers lessons learned from data exposure to Stasi police.

One impact here would be to reduce future investment in fossil fuels which will increase future prices. Because why would you invest?

I agree, I mean the businesses overall are very strong. That said, as a shareholder, watching Google and FB's headcount soar over the last 5-10 years to stratospheric numbers, they have to have a point where they sit down and take a hard look at what everyone is doing and be realistic about whether the projects make sense. I am all about R&D and experimentation and moonshots and the like, but the sheer number of bodies, especially in relation to "hits" that have been made, it all feels very low. The latest Pixel phones come to mind as a real home grown hit at Google, but so many of their products seem rudderless and the result of a sprawling bureaucracy[1]. It certainly feels to me that at least 20% of the workforce could be cut with probably a net gain to the organization overall. Is it fatal? Of course not- but it could be if you just let the rot sit around.

FB/Meta is the same- They have made some low key progress with Groups, have essentially wiped out craigslist as a marketplace, made some great strategic investments like WhatsApp, and essentially cut their potential replacements off at the knees by quickly copying snapchat and to some extent tik-tok, but Meta also seems poised to throw billions and billions of dollars into this Metaverse furnace, and I just don't see that working out.

I say this as a shareholder of both firms, that I have held since their IPOs or shortly thereafter.

[1] Take their home products for instance. There are nNest protects (smoke detectors/motion detectors), thermostats, cameras and doorbells... its an absolute layup to turn this into a security system far better than the crap ADT pushes. Yet... they just haven't for over 10 years now. And then they try to force a shitty subscription on you to use their cloud features that are really worthless, and have cut off APIs to third parties so I can no longer have my doorbell play through my Sonos. Its kind of maddening to watch.

I’d be interested in taking the other side of this wager, quite possibly at even money odds depending on nailing down specifics. Would you care to discuss definitions of “major” and “winter” and the identification of the triggering event that constitutes leaving NATO and the EU?
> I think it's like that because they had to hack it on top of Javascript

This is the source of most of typescript's flaws, but the mediocre type syntax was a deliberate choice: it's all erased at compile time, so javascript imposes no constraints. My guess is that it's just because many of the original typescript devs were on the C# language team.
It depends; the gatekeepers aren't just cultural. If someone gets you thrown off platforms and payment processors that you need in order to establish your independence and run a business, you get cancelled that way.

Only the already-big can become immune to this. If you're no one, small, or medium, you suddenly lose all ability to escape a network of other "problematics", so it becomes your only audience and limits your growth.

Interesting. I can't find a way to read "graded in the context of peers" that doesn't parse into exactly the same concept as "sort employees by performance". AFAIK, it's not something you can interpret as, those are literally synonyms.

But well, stack ranking is not only about sorting (the name is a lie), it's about placing people in fixed sized cohorts. The real question is if there is a limitation on the number of raises or a minimum on the number of people treated as "low performant".
It may equate to strength against someone; that someone isn't me.

Hackers are a non-protected minority. And they're generally smart enough to think their way out of the world being made harder to hack. For the rest of us, most changes making the world harder to hack are improvements. That's one of the reasons the marketplace keeps rewarding such changes.
I think you are conflating a stronger dollar against the wrong cause. The strong dollar is here because of the interest rate hikes and global market insecurities -- it is lower risk and higher base interest to plant yourself on USD right now. Its the side effect for trying to temper inflation but not directly related to the buydown of Fed monies in market nor is it related to GDP growth at all (we are flat).
This is not really true. I work for a European factory and I go to work in the UK all the time on a business visa.

I'm not sure the Italian carriers are relevant for operations in Southeast Asia. Maybe once they get F35Bs, but their Harriers would not fare well against much of anything, and that's assuming they have the ability to operate at such a distance from the Mediterranean in the first place. (Incidentally, what most of the world calls a carrier is not what the USN calls a carrier. STOVL carriers are not really in the same class as CATOBAR carriers!)
You don't need a very high-powered radio if a) you have plenty of time to transmit the data back and b) you can afford to build large receiving telescopes back on Earth. The latter we already do have, although bigger the better, and the former is just a case of patience. Galileo, famously, was unable to fully unfold its high-gain antenna and had to transmit everything via the much lower-bandwidth low-gain antenna. The ability to batch the probe software to use higher-efficiency data encoding and modulation meant this was not as disastrous as it could have been. This failure mode was also likely the reason that both Cassini and New Horizons opted for a more traditional rigid dish antenna.
IMHO it’s a corrupt line of thinking for a founder to not pay their employees. Even if they do raise the round (chances are they won’t) then you won’t want to work for these founders anyway as they’ve shown they are not capable of treating their employees fairly.
“Liquidity” literally means the ease with which assets can be converted into cash. In the context above it’s saying they have removed cash from the system, in specific reference to the M1 money supply.

In this case, the images were publicly available and therefore were no longer private, and that's why they got scraped and ended up in the training data. Maybe she didn't intend for those images to become public, maybe she wishes they weren't public, but they were accessible and being accessed by the public. Describing highly public images as "private" is just strange. Maybe "personal" would be better?

There's nothing wrong with Google allowing a website to use GA. The problem only arises if that website then serves end-user traffic to EU citizens. Many European websites may choose to only use GA if the traffic is coming from outside the EU.
Interesting, though that seems to be the same authors so I'm not entirely sure I trust their methodology, given how much they messed it up the first time round. Also the results (page 48) show some obvious red flags, e.g. C and Chapel being suspiciously fast on Ackermann.

Still the overall results mostly match my intuition.
To add, they sell mortgage backed securities too.
I guess the question comes down to who is responsible for one's own sanity. The individual, the community, or the state? Anyways, I would argue that attributing Putin's popularity to brainwashing is not that solid of a theory. Perhaps Putin is popular because Russians want a strong leader in the wake of previous leader who were seen as weak.

We can't know without better introspection and data to ground the discussion.
This is why interest is harshly condemned in Islam. One of the major major sins with servere punishment. Is it an evil which keeps the rich richer and the poor poorer (and miserable).

Islamic finance is the solution to a balanced and fair economy.

1. It prohibit interest to outlaw debt based exploitation and instead replaces it with loans of generosity (pay back exact amount, no interest ) or fund raising through investment. Whereby the risk of the person receiving investment is shared with the lender. This is in contrast with a conventional loan where if your property or business burns down, you still have to pay off the loan to the bank.

2. Zakat - a wealth tax on every Muslim. The value of 2.5% of cash, stocks, investment each year is given to the most needy of society.

Implement these systems and you will have a just economy that prevents hoarding and exploitation. Literally money is forced to move down societal class and acquiring more wealth is with increased risk. Islamic finance is the solution.
> these are back-ordered to March 2023 so clearly the customers exist.

Worth remembering that "stock issues" / wait times etc. are as dependant on the production plans of the product as they are on demand. It can be a sign of lots or customers, or just that hardly any demand was expected and so even a tiny amount more takes a while to catch up on (especially if e.g. there are high-demand components that they'd rather put in products with a high profit margin), or... etc
For all we know it may be Fake Nose.
If you think about American manufacturing of consent for the war in Iraq (a war motivated by false claims of weapons of mass destruction but that was mostly emotionally accepted by Americans because of a general sense of anger towards the Middle East over the 9/11 attacks and terrorism), then imagine that Iraq was a neighboring country that America had historically controlled, then picture George Bush asking Americans to mobilize to invade in the context of America losing, you can sort of start to picture how people get swept up emotionally and maybe it becomes easier to believe Russians really will fight this war even past general mobilization.

Imagine the most angry Americans after 9/11 being told that they needed to go fight as America was being pushed back by Iraqis military and Iraq was on our border. At some point you have to accept that the emotional climate matters more than the 'facts' as we may see them.

/an explanation of why we might ought to not assume the Russian population might legitimately be swept up emotionally and actually support this war not rebel against it
A day I think some will bring to court all involved in such "evolution" because a day due to a "for safety" automatism someone else die because the automatism works well in most cases but not in all.

Like emergency braking that prevent a car crush a small fence on purpose to avoid a tanker full of gas, refuse to start when someone have to go to first aid very quickly etc.

When this will happen I home some judges decide to sentence not compensation but exemplar punishments to those who decide a procedure, an automatism is better than single human being and so must prevail on them.

Not differently from companies those call-centers are powerless because of some automated business software procedure designed by some "manager", but different for the impact on human life.

Yea but the US Government isn't a person. It's repayment timespan is, in theory, infinite. And inflation actually devalues any debt the government holds, making it easier to 'pay back.'

Unpopular opinion, and maybe I'm wrong here and I've just been lucky, but I've stopped seeing debt as a bad thing. You have to use it smartly of course, but I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer for what that means. Use it for daily living expenses? Sure, as long as you can pay it off every month. Never take out a loan and spend years saving for a car? Nah, or at least not when that interest rate was 2-3%. And I suppose that's where increasing interest rates come in: Get the 99% to stop buying.
Kiev and Kharkov is what we use in Romanian (spelled in a slightly different manner, but pronounced the same), I think I can manage this. Were I to speak or write in Ukrainian (which is a language I don't know, for the time being) I would have used the Ukrainian spelling.
Ideas on How to Negotiate a Severance Package
Dear Dang,

Thanks for the clarification. You are right and I'll try to tone it down.

> HN has a problem with Indian nationalist flamewars (as it does with other nationalist flamewars), quite vicious ones in fact, and I unfortunately have had to moderate enough of them to recognize the pattern when I see it.

The reason probably has to do with Indian voices being shut down by the Western academia and Western media (both play a big role in the conditioning) which ends up with Indians like me (and many others like me) who come with pitchforks in discussions with people who do not have such intentions. I recognize that and will work on it.

So yes you are right that Indians, off late, have become extremely passionate about certain causes: be it defending Hinduism/Sanatan Dharma or Nationalistic viewpoints (India in general). Please understand that this is reactionary to what we have witnessed/subjected to over years if not decades of being exposed to brainwashing by Western academia and media. It was only recently that we have started to look into our own history without the corrupted lens of the Colonial powers that modified/changed/rewrote/distorted many portions of our historical past (as they say, Victors write History). That anger at being fooled for so long is what is driving the under current of Nationalism today.

We are beginning to stand up for what we believe in to be right (whether that is accepted by the rest of the World or not is immaterial at this point). We have kept quiet and not spoken out against misinformation or mischaracterization of our people for all these years with a hope that it will change. It sadly hasn't happened.

However, you are not wrong in that Indians are generally extremely passionate (which wasn't the case some 20 years back). It will cool down over time I am sure of that. But do give us some leeway to express ourselves (even if we make mistakes) as sometimes we just need an outlet.

Thanks for your clarification and understanding.
