Historically, interest rates must rise to the same rate of inflation to reduce inflation.

If they don't rise fast enough you get stagflation where businesses not willing to shoulder the cost of governmental mistakes reduce their production and lay people off creating high unemployment in an inflationary environment. This however, is only a brief stay before deflationary forces put you into a deflation death-spiral.

Failing to raise interest rates, and increasing paper printing creates hyper-inflation. As the currency debases, costs rise in a cost-push inflation environment (starting at the producer level), and inevitably the division of labor breaks down with social unrest (Zimbabwe, Weimar).

Ray Dalio has published a book series on how historically these debt crises play out. Its been fairly accurate. Its a normal cycle, usually happening towards 100 years after a fiat currency is adopted, though that timetable can be faster with malfeasance and fraud.

i just meant that no future population will see each and every foible we exhibit perfectly, because that's like hitting a trillion heads in a row. effectively impossible. but they could perhaps hit a hundred.

in any case, the hard part is not finding candidates but culling them down, analogous to the halting problem (or the bullshit asymmetry problem). is it an infinite calculation? probably.

I would not consider cash anonymous in a grocery store anymore. They're tracking you through other means, including using the bluetooth in your phone, hiring facial recognition companies, and other bits of data to try and have some form of identifier for you that they can put all your purchases on.
I don't personally, but society (even liberal society) still has structural reasons to disincentivize this kind of behavior.

Even as someone who doesn't think the government should tell you how to live, you can't pretend to be blind to the fact of why the government doesn't want to promulgate this kind of promiscuity / lack of family structure. It's ironic, given they think it's completely okay to explicitly target firearms companies who make devices and implements protected by the constitution - however cry wolf when acts that may cause far more psychological or societal harm are also given a scarlet letter. To be clear, even as someone far-left leaning I'd acknowledge pornography, more specifically sexually driven parasocial relationships (onlyfans) as far more integral to incels and anti-social males than firearms.

Sex work is commonly targeting at arms-length as "sex trafficking" - many sex workers commonly complain of this law enforcement "trope". However, the bright line of what is/isn't sexually predatory or supporting aspects of pedophillia are becoming more gray with sites like onlyfans. For instance, do we really want young women to only see immediate value in exposing their bodies on the internet for $5 a mo? (Ironically, less money than you'd donate to a charity to feed a child in africa)

One of the most important aspects that doesn't seem to be covered here is data retention and ownership. Looking through the settings page I don't see any ways to eject and backup all the documentation that was invested into the project.

> Pretty much everything pre-enlightenment is really smart sounding nonsense.

This is like saying that Newtonian physics is really smart sounding nonsense because it makes mispredictions in places and assumes that time behaves like a continuum.

Among Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle alone,

Aristotle developed syllogisms (a fragment of predicate logic), Aristotle developed the notion of scientific disciplines, Socrates made many realize that it's not as easy to refute seemingly obvious nonsense in a watertight manner, Aristotle developed the notion of infinitely divisible time trying to refute Zeno's infinitely divisible distances traveled.

It's important to note that where these people are wrong and have developed insufficiently powerful explanations, it's because they lack the instruments and infrastructure (physical and intellectual) to reliably observe contradictions and deficiencies) to these frameworks that they have developed. To the person living then, it makes little difference, and likely the same to much of our lived experience (consider that religion is still very popular).

Once you note this, you should then begin to realize just how little we know (as a society, in your community, yourself) considering the limits of what we can measure (as a society, in your community, yourself), and how measuring something unexpected can completely upend the framework that you had developed.

Yeah WebAssembly enables casual gamers, gamers on Macs (especially on newer M1/M2 devices with limited game compatibility natively) and students on Chromebooks to jump into a game in a low friction manner. And this isn't even mentioning being able to reach mobile devices, which represents the largest portion of revenue in the games industry today.

Couple this with the fact that developers won't have to pay a 30% fee for distribution on the web, and you have the recipe for the next big games platform that's hardware agnostic by default. Very disruptive stuff.

Taking any app and adding Google Docs style "collaboration" to it is a recipe for success, in the same way that taking a piece of art and making it an NFT did, for a period time, make its value 10-1,000,000x greater.

From an engineering POV, maybe someone should sell a CRDT service that proxies multiple users into one and pretends to be general, but really authors domain-specific stuff since CRDTs and OT "general" is not very valuable.
I have a rant here about security being mostly bullshit. Not even sysadmins can setup a server "in the most secure, maintainable manner".

You don't hire a dedicated sys admin because they know some voodoo magic developers don't, you hire a sys admin because they have the _TIME_ to watch for security updates. And you _PAY_ a company like RedHat to ease that burden.

A dedicated sysadmin will typically do a better job than a non-dedicated developer, but if that developer cannot do a passable job, that's a gap in their skillset.

I may not be a network engineer, but I damned well understand DNS, MPLS, networking, gateways, and the like. Any developer who doesn't has gaps.

The TSMC fabs aren't idling. Between AMD, Intel, nVidia, Broadcom, Google, Amazon, etc. They've got customers with more demands for their chips than they have capacity to provide.

If apple doesn't go to them, I think the only other option is Samsung? But I don't know that Samsung's fabs are open to third parties.
AMD upstream their changes: no need for shims for either library. From my point as a dabbler in the arts - most implementations [1] of ML papers use pytorch, tensorflow or other high-level libraries. I'm yet to see one implemented in CUDA directly.

Well, I'm of 20th C. origin—not 19th—and the first electrical things I played with as a young kid were electric bells, buzzers, batteries, flashlight globes and reels of bell wire—lots and lots of it. (Experimenting with such items wasn't an unfashionable activity when I was a kid.)

Bell wire, which usually came in the form of two single-stranded copper wires twisted loosely together and insulated in red and white PVC plastic, was installed under the house, in ceilings, in wall cavities and elsewhere by yours truly to enable us perform all sorts of electrical tasks—door bells, for mother to signal us to come to dinner, etc.

Isn't that standard kids' stuff anymore? The thought of an electrician being called to fix these Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson-type installations would have been preposterous. If No.-1 son wasn't about say to change a battery then my parents would do it themselves.
Kinda the point, no?
I was thinking of spinning op a Docusaurus v2 for a while. But was annoyed by the forced markdown editing for my team mates who are not devs. Gitbook is okay alternative, but forces you to pay per user. But just decided to go for gitbook now, it's basic plan is actually ok.

My million dollar idea is that I take my keyboard with me. My preferred layout, keycaps, switches, etc. Inside is something like a Ryzen APU, upgradeable / swappable, with an internal battery.

Pakistan's airforce works closely with Chengdu Aerospace Corporation - the JF-17 Thunder [0] being their flagship product. That said, even Chinese flagship aerospace manufacturers also depend on IP transfers from Russian firms like Klimov and UEC Saturn. Also, most companies require some amount of IP transfer and collaboration because of how complex Engine design, Body design, etc are, as well as the fact that collaboration incentivizes collaborating countries to purchase these weapon systems. Aerospace, cybersecurity, enterprise partnerships, weapons systems - it's all the same business model.

I guess it is time for me to upgrade my Kindle Oasis (1st gen I assume), which I never use to this Kindle Scribe, which I also probably never going to use.

But the main issue with the Kindles was not being able to read PDF (technical books, technical articles), and I dreamed about the DX when it was available only in US, and I also did not have money to buy one. After I moved to US 13 years ago, the DX version was out of shelves. So, pretty excited to give Scribe a try!
100% this. I run a decent sized publisher, and have to make sure images are licensed properly, and even with proper training, we still get the robo-lawyers shakedowns at least once a quarter. It's between $400-$1000 per "settlement", so still less than Getty licensing costs. Cost of doing business :shrug:

Is that true? I feel like the drumbeat I constantly have heard for the last 10 years is that the trades pay really well and are easier to get into. Most of the electricians I know are definitely not "lower class". That said, they're harder jobs physically. They're not particularly good for your body a lot of the time.
See the entries about “flag” and “dead” in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

The comment I responded to was dead. I don’t feel it really violates the site guidelines. Although some people might take it personally, which could make it sort of flame-bait-y and result in flags.
I did my best to moderate all sides in this thread when I saw people breaking the site guidelines, regardless of what point they were making. If I neglected to post a scolding in reply to a comment that deserved it, that would be either because (a) I already replied to that commenter elsewhere in the thread; or (b) I just missed it.

Of course the topic has a lot of ideological overlap, but that makes it more important not to descend into flamewar. That's why the site guidelines say: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html? I think if you take in the intended spirit of the site, it should be clearer why we moderate it the way we do—and also that we're not taking any side in any of these flamewars.

Btw, the site guidelines also contain this: "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead." — that is the answer to the question in your second paragraph. This is our version of the old internet adage "Please don't feed the trolls."

> AFAIK TSMC is operating Apple’s machines.

Nah they are TSMC's machines. Really expensive ones. Apple just has bought the production of certain fab before they are built for certain amount of wavers (or time?) for X amount of money. Now TSMC is saying that due to inflation that X needs to be made bigger and thus renegotiating the contracts.

(Also this paying upfront is really good for TSMC as they basically get interest free loan for building the fab)

Also I think there is misconception that you could just buy a EUV lithography machines from ASML and start making chips. That is just one part (a very expensive hundreds of millions costing part) of a multistep process to make a modern microprocessor. In general it takes 3 to 4 months to go from a bare silicon wafer to a packaged chip. This is also why losing power/contamination can be really costly at a semiconductor fab as you can lose 1/4 to 1/3 of a years total production capacity even if you get the fab back to running next week.

Something Doom 3 handled amazingly is how computers are controlled in first person.

As your crosshair approaches the screen, it turns into a mouse cursor, and you can control the computer as you would a regular desktop PC. It just feels so natural.

I'm surprised that this wasn't copied more by other games. Probably because it doesn't work as well on consoles with a controller.
The term "covered" does a lot of work here.

The thing with science is that it's generally considered more practical than philosophy, and people are content with learning a bunch of pre-packaged recipes to solve pre-packaged problems (use F = ma to solve that inclined plane problem).

But try asking the average student what F = ma actually means a bit deeper than just how they would apply it and you'll see how much the topic is "covered."

Consider that the concepts of force and mass themselves are mostly left unexplained. Or that people have no idea what "energy" is.

They're models of reality that are not taught as such, because we're happy with teaching future engineers a bunch of recipes to learn by rote as long as they "work".

So I remain unconvinced of the proposition that philosophy should be taught the same way. In that respect it's closer to science and the inherent doubt that comes with the scientific method — even though, similarly, there's a lot of dogmatic "philosophy" (think Marxism).
I care much more about Adobe's ability to destroy products' quality than prices really.

"Technologically sovereign" means that a country is able to get the technologies it needs to achieve it's goals either internally or through alliances that don't create a "one-sided structural dependency." [1]

Saying that the UK isn't technologically sovereign is essentially saying that the UK has an undersized technology sector and doesn't have enough power to import effectively. On the flip side, you could view it as meaning that the UK has outsized geopolitical and economic ambitions given its size and technological capabilities.

> But TSMC can delay 3nm until it has the clients.

My impression is that they invested huge sums of money into the 3nm lines; you don't want to delay getting returns on such investments.

Considering that capital has a cost, it might be cheaper for them to forego the 6% increase (at least for now) and start returning some of their loans, rather than letting the interest accumulate. (Which Apple knows, of course, which is why they play hardball).
mainline keepass includes a "force synchronize instead of overwrite on save" option, if you have a shared drive you can throw it on, that pretty much solves conflicts.

strongbox has pretty intelligent support for maintaining a cached copy, and the sync support has always worked as expected for me there. The keepass format does store last-changed date so it is relatively trivially possible to synchronize a database (assuming you can decrypt/open it ofc).

if you need it on the go, VPN tunnel back, or again, Strongbox has good native support for dropbox sync or onedrive etc, can't specifically vouch for it but Strongbox seems pretty competent.

As to SUSY, while it is good if young post docs are avoiding it, that does not mean it has gone away (not if PRD table of contents is any indicator). It will take a long time for that paper mill to end, likely with the retirement/death of current researchers or sooner if funding agencies finally come to their senses.

I don't think she is suggesting there should be no efforts in some of the other areas you have mentioned, just that there needs to be a reassessment of how much effort and money should continued to be funneled in those directions.

If you check my other replies in this thread, I've tried to describe why I feel the way I do. But if I may, I'd be curious to hear what you'd consider to be "embarrassing", not as an act but as a personality trait.

As an example, I believe to recall the first time I felt this way as a child, perhaps age 4 or 5. There was some sort of a meeting and somehow a kid felt prompted to go up to the whiteboard and start explaining everyone the Bionicle alphabet (https://bionicle.fandom.com/wiki/Matoran_Alphabet) with unreasonable enthusiasm. I was into Bionicles myself, but remember thinking to myself, "Don't you know how you look like? Don't you know that nobody cares? Have you no sense of how others perceive you? If I hadn't seen how this looks like, would I have done something like this eventually?". I don't know how others brush these impressions away with a "Good for him".
It's likely that most people willing to pay $5,000 a month to get a million dollar house are at least able to pay an additional $800 a month. They may not like it, but people in million dollar houses can usually find a grand a month extra if they really need to. Buyers already at the absolute upper edge of their possible budget are a non-zero proportion of total buyers, but not a large enough proportion to force prices to drop, at least not yet, at least not at that already lofty price range. Price elasticity of demand is likely greater at lower prices, where the buyers don't have much in the way of reserves and excess income.
