If you enjoyed this, you might like some of the literature around boardgame research that uses Markov Chains. Prime examples are RISK and Monopoly, but someone wrote a thesis on "Analysis of 'The Settlers of Catan' Using Markov Chains" as well. I maintain a nice list at https://github.com/captn3m0/boardgame-research (grep for Markov).

The DeepMind course on Reinforcement Learning covers Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) quite well in this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfHX2hHRMVQ

That is a _lot_ of weight to run with, and I don’t think their advice is aimed at or, as you say, relevant to your use case.

Speaking as a highly experienced backpacker, with typical loads (10-20% body weight), the point of having weight distributed along your lower and upper back is to conform to the spine and somewhat match our natural weight distribution. Putting weight higher is awful, and putting it lower —- while it lowers your center of gravity — is awful for actually moving down the trail. Even day hike fanny packs with a few liters of water in them are annoying enough that I very often just take my regular pack on day hikes vs putting weight directly around my waist. The issue, just in case it isn’t clear, is that as you move back and forth you’re moving the weight with you. It’s much better for it to be held relatively stable against your back.

Finally, I’m trying to work out what you do that you run with 30kg on your back. Trail runners carry significantly less than I do, and even people trying to set through-hike records and who therefore are trail running things like the entire PCT don’t carry anywhere near that weight. Are you in the military? Honestly running with 30kg is pretty damn hard on your body. My knees hurt just imagining it.
Wages aren't the only input to inflation. It's not axiomatic that these three cannot be met simultaneously.
It's not that this is actually something everyone does, but that those people also foist their views of history on us, and include this narrative to naturalize and justify their behavior.
The CPI number is high because rents are high. Every other measure of CPI has dropped. But housing prices and rents just won't budge.

This is a battle between the fed and sticky rent-seeking homeowners. Everyone else is a pawn. Our healthcare, livelihoods and families are mere collateral damage.

The point here is that the US government in particular works at the behest of the capital-owning class and this is not a partisan issue, meaning there is almost no difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Paying outrageous amounts for healthcare is to protect profits. The ultra-wealthy paying very little in tax is protecting the capital-owning class. We topple and isolate governments that push back against economic colonialism (eg Venezuela threatened to nationalize oil producers and oh look, a coup). We are raising interest rates supposedly to fight inflation but really to create unemployment and suppress wages. Why? Wages come at the expense of profits. The recently averted rail strike would've cost 3.5% of profits (not revenue) to provide 125,000 essential rail workers with paid sick leave.

Look at the case of Steven Donziger [1] where Chevron shopped for a sympathetic judge that allowed an oil law firm to criminally prosecute and detain someone for years over a misdemeanour to daring to organize a $9.5 billion judgement against Chevron in a completely different country (ie Ecuador). This began under the last administration and the current administration has declined to intervene (which they could) and dismiss the case. Why is it that neither party wants to stand in the way of Chevron being essentially deputized to criminally prosecute people?

Even war can be viewed through the lens of protecting profits. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost an insane amount of money but they generated a massive amount of profits for a whole host of companies. Even the very justifiable material aid we have been giving and continue to give to Ukraine is a huge gain for the military industrial complex who sells those weapons (and, as an aside, the amount of Ukraine aid is eerily similar to the spending that ended by withdrawing from Afghanistan).

Prisons? Cheap labor (eg Angola State Penintentiary in Louisiana [2]). Restrictive immigration? Also cheap labor. Chicken factories and farms rely on undocumented migrants. If they complain you call ICE on them, pay a small fine, rinse and repeat. Why? Profits.

My point is that climate change is no different. If you attempt to fight the system, you're going to lose because profits (particularly short term profits) win. The only path forward is an economic one.

Do you mean running the booter .exe from the card manually, or making it autoboot NetBSD from the CF from a cold start? I haven't seen anything saying the latter was possible, though a lot of people would have liked it. It doesn't seem possible on my Jornada 690 either.
This is deleterious beyond just economics. Put people out of a job and they go sick, die more frequently and have a general unpleasant time.

None of these folks are willing to look at how profits are at record high... take money out of the richest hands and redistribute. The cards are stacked against the common people and asking the non-wealthy to take the brunt of the hit here is a cash grab by the elite who aren't doing their part.
Thanks for sharing. I would add a par2 in there somewhere. Not that my system is as good as yours yet.

You must be underestimating the negative effect high long-term inflation has on a society. Labor doesn’t gain leverage, it loses a lot of buying power.
OT: I chose to listen to the article rather than read it. Was slightly amused that the TTS option read the sentence "8MK from Detroit, Michigan" as "8 Malawian Kwacha from Detroit, Michigan"

Would have thought these engines are better able to parse context by now.
I started to use it recently I it is easier than expected, and I never used lisp or similar before

The documentation is good

It still has problems here and there, and packages missing. Probably due to the lack of wide adoption for being new and different

But packages that are missing, most are easy to create or find online, to use in your private repository, or submit to main repository

There was less difficulties than expected. Things that didn't work, or I didn't wanted to waste time fixing
I said democratic, so yes, Venezuela. Seems like the #1 undisputed world's largest oil reserve country would do absolutely fine, if they weren't actively under NATO embargo, using military force to prevent trade in their entire global hemisphere, so gullible Americans can't spout nonsense like this and form political identities from it.
Because it doesn’t line up with reality. The US and Europe has dramatically reduced CO2 emissions and increased consumption. The US is down 15% from 2007 to now and that tend isn’t stopping. Global warming emissions is currently being driven by developing economies but they are going to be investing in the cheapest technology which is renewable energy.

Just look at say China’s electric grid and it’s percentage of Coal vs Wind and Solar or it’s EV adoption. That change is based on cold hard economies.
No the wise ones realize the very framing of "inflation" is bad. One has to look at which specific prices are rising, and production input output graphs.
This is only going to get worse. Just look at a demographic graph, as Boomers retire and Zoomers delay entering the workforce expect a shortfall of millions of people to fill existing white collar jobs, the trades have already been decimated.
It's healthy in that it causes unproductive firms to go bankrupt.

It's painful in that unproductive firms are no longer handing out free money to employees and customers.

Looking at the market of companies today, especially in the tech space, IMHO ten years or so of fiscal prudence would be really healthy.

The only downside is that Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft would weather it and come out more relatively dominant.
Some apps are developed in some cross-platform solutions so it can’t leverage the native features like Android’s Service (background) for example.
Which original authors am I unintentionally plagiarizing? I’m not usually that adept at quoting verbatim, especially when I’ve completely forgotten who I’m quoting.
In the thread they say that the original files are available in Google Takeout, so it'll probably get fixed eventually.
Go's garbage collector is faster than you imagine. Have you used it?

Go is a good replacement for C and C++ for almost all purposes.

Most purposes where Go is inapplicable should be using explicit SIMD (GCC intrinsics) or CUDA C anyway.

The others purposes where Go is inapplicable are low-level real-time stuff that should be written in C for a specialized software stack (e.g., software in a car).

It can be the case it has gained but gained unevenly.
When we look at today’s methods for knowledge models and education, we often look at the “Classical Education” method - named after its origins from classical era Greece as a certain conceptualized approach to education. This method led to a three-stage process, referred to in present-day as “Trivium”, that Ancient Greece philosopher Plato had explained in his dialogues regarding early Greek education. A closer look at the trivium reveals an ontological model that includes the 3 elements of a classical educational regiment - grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

The trivium comes from the study of structures called “Ontology”, meaning different things in different fields (ironically), but through information science, it means, “a way of studying a structure, and understanding the relationships between its parts”. With structure defined as, “the way in which the parts of something are connected together” With this structure being the trivium, and the parts being grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

A more impressive ontological addition towards the trivium has been “Bloom’s Taxonomy”, a hierarchical model written by a committee of educators, chaired by Benjamin Bloom, to take the three elements of the trivium, and divide them each into two simpler elements. “Grammar” turning into “Remember” and “Understand”, “Logic” turning into “Apply” and “Analyze”, and “Rhetoric” turning into “Evaluate” and “Create”.
> If you continue to draw your salary while ceasing to provide reasonable best efforts, you are intentionally acting in bad faith and the employer has grounds for termination or at least reduction in pay.

I know you're mostly focused on OP's use of the word "honest", but I think that misses something.

The term "reasonable best effort" is biased in favor of the employer since companies recognize that mediocre performance (relative to the position) is the norm. They also recognize that people like OP exist, and are more than happy to take advantage of them since they aren't likely to aggressively negotiate for what they're actually worth (and actually get it), and that not everyone has the luxury of just switching jobs to not get overly exploited. It's also tricky because things change over time, and what once was fair or mutually beneficial may no longer be, and by then, it be can be tricky to transition out of that.

I do think OP needs to reflect upon why they stayed at this place if they've felt taken for granted for so long. At the same time, I understand the frustration and sense of futility that comes with feeling like you want to give your best, but that you're not in an environment conducive to that.

I also don't think honesty is so binary to where if OP scales back effort in order to transition out of this role, that they can no longer claim to be "honest". Nor does honesty necessarily imply putting oneself in a precarious position and quitting before they're able to do so, especially since I doubt OP's higher-ups have any expectation of being honest and transparent with them that their days are numbered regardless of performance.

edit: I didn't see OP's reply to other commenters and assumed good faith. Nonetheless, I stand by my comment even if it no longer applies to this particular situation

> It's kind of crazy how major compilers have been ignoring the standard for so long that people consider a standard compliant compiler to be weird and broken.

I had absolutely no idea this wasn't even supposed to be the case (although I was aware of the duplication in std::). Guess it makes sense that the standard would shy away from global namespace pollution - I suppose one of the compilers perhaps did this for long enough that the others ended up duplicating it to increase code compatibility?
I’ve just completed a 6 month self comparison of the Whoop v4 and Watch S6 for cycling. I found for long endurance efforts they were surprisingly accurate to each other - but during intervals of intense exertion (eg a KOM/hill climb) often the Whoop would read my HR as ~40-60BPM lower while the watch would reflect an expected reading (160-180bpm). Sometimes after 1-2 mins the whoop would “catch up” but it would leave a giant drop in HR graphing for that interval.

This also lowered the avg HR for the workout on the whoop, as you noted. Happy to share an example comparison graph if you’re interested, just reach out.

For what it’s worth, I ended up cancelling the Whoop this month after trying twice to engage with their data team.
Something like that is currently proposed in the Netherlands, and will probably be implemented January 1st. Electricity and gas use up to the consumption of the average Dutch household (1100 m3 and 2200 kWh of the top of my head) will be cheaper than market.

> The idea that you can easily type a command and be quickly dumped into a development environment for some software your system runs is amazing. I think it’s something that actually brings people closer towards some of the ideals of GNU

This is exactly right, and I think it's one of the coolest things about Guix. Guix System (the full OS based on Guix) seems almost like the GNU that was dreamt of before Linux. It even has an option built on the Hurd kernel, and it uses an init system and initrd images based on Guile Scheme, which is both the language used for Guix itself and as the extension language for GNU projects.

Guix definitely advances the whole

Swatch Internet Time has no timezones or conversions - it's always the same time everywhere - so DST doesn't and can't exist in this time system.
It's important to make features as easy to discover as possible. Especially the basic features.

The actions in this article are _shortcuts_. Like a single swipe to switch tabs. It's hard to make it more discoverable (there's a tiny hint on the hide, but that's it). At this point, there's two options:

- Overload the UI showing the possible action. Results in overloaded UIs and worse UX.

- Leave it as-is and just mention it online or in "did you know" pages.

The second option usually makes sense the most. I see a big online trend of "let's remove right click options because they're hard to discover", and I think it's ridiculous. Actions hidden behind right click should be visible elsewhere (e.g.: the options on a file manager are all in the menu bar too), but right click is a fast and convenient *shortcut*.
Not at all. I'm saying we have many levers to control inflation, worker power is only one.
I've read a majority of the Puritan works available to us (at least a couple of dozen), and while I don't necessarily agree with them on all points theologically, they certainly perfected the art of soul care. In particular, Richard Sibbes is poetic in the way he addresses brokenheartedness (his work, The Broken Reed, probably sits at the apex of this).

They also had a significantly higher view of pastoral care, one that I wish had not been lost in our modern age. I try to read the Reformed Pastor at least once every few years as a reminder (contrary to popular belief, this has nothing to do with reformed theology).
"Confucius say: Man with toothache cannot feel love."
This is kind of a great example because Django did the opposite: insist on having no frontend opinions.

As a result, Django left its users completely on their own, while Rails made choices that wouldn't last the test of time.

Given how chaotic the frontend ecosystems have been over the past decade, I'm not sure there was a "right" answer in hindsight.
I would agree that there are two stories that matter, the invasion by Russia being the other, in part because we won't have to worry about extinction by climate change if nuclear winter happens before that.

Also unfortunately, as the world becomes more and more scarce with its resources (seafood, freshwater, topsoil, fertilizer, usable sand, etc) we're probably only going to see more of these wars in the next couple of decades, even if this one is resolved without nukes or a World War.

I don't agree with you about not wanting people to suffer now bit, though. Allowing relentless and cheap consumption of resources got us to this place in the first place. There needs to be drastic reduction in consumption of resources happening, and it should have started at least fifty years ago.

It's like asking someone who's had a heart attack to not start getting a handle on their health because you don't want them to suffer any hardships right now.

I'm saying this as someone who is struggling to get my own health back on track myself and had heart attack scares a few times (thankfully not an actual heart attack yet, just very convincing heartburn)...it's definitely difficult, but I can and should be doing more. Like I should be doing more to reduce my consumption of resources as well. I've done some for both, but nowhere near enough or fast enough.

That being said, I don't want people to die from lack of heat or anything either. I also think the governments of the world should be doing a lot to ease the burden without just making fossil fuels cheap again, restructuring our society so we will naturally need to consume less resources (more communal places to stay for the days when it's extremely cold with no stigma attached to it, massive funding projects to convert homes away from natural gas heating, etc).

It wasn't my father. I didn't live with my parents. You're also glossing over the fact that this man was venerated and protected by the church. That they had a leadership position in the church and community. That it's part of a much larger systematic abuse within the church. That the church has a long and colorful history of this kind of behavior from leadership including many popes, countless bishops and even more priests. The crusades.

You're pretending that this isn't a gigantic structural, institutional issue because you don't want to accept you've been praying to a made up deity and supporting a terrible institution. You also glossed over my point that a large majority of Christians and Catholics are in countries with much different views on normalized child abuse.

You can blind yourself all you want to reality, you can convince yourself my situation is unique, but it's not. If you truly care about yourself and the church, I implore you to take a few more deep dives into the church's history, and not cherry-pick the good parts while ignoring the awful parts.

There's a lot of good things in the bible and in the clergy. There's also a ton of bad, which is quite often minimized by people such as yourself. What you're doing is harmful, plain and simple.
A random person on github abandoning their pet project is not the kind of language stability we're talking about here. It's not the kind of complaint you'd write to the ISO committee.

You may have run into a project using nightly Rust, which is an explicitly unstable version for testing of experimental not-yet-finished features. Using it requires users to intentionally opt out of having language stability. C++ also has GNU and Clang extensions and experimental implementations of not-yet-standardized features.

However, the normal workflow is using a stable version of the compiler. It is backwards compatible with the 1.0 release from 2015, except handful of edge cases that you won't run into an average project.

Users are encouraged to use crates.io and keep Cargo.lock which guarantees they get the same dependencies that worked last time.
Sounds like Fortran to me.
Let's break this down. . .the most significant contributor to inflation over the past year has been fuel prices and availability. This leads to reverberations through the economy, such as:

- Increased freight and transport costs, everything that moves from source to destination becomes expensive.

- Most importantly, food and raw material powering all the products we buy as daily expenditures have a significant fuel cost.

The Fed has only one weapon, the flow of funds into the economy. It controls this through the Fed rate as well as instruments under its gambit which give it immense power to purchase assets.

In short, this is not the job of the fed. We have a molecules crisis thanks to war and supply chain issues combined with stupid energy security decisions.
