Neglecting issues due to the war in Ukraine, a lot of the “supply side issues” are not totally isolated from central bank policy, QE, and stimulus. The use of QE and stimulus increased demand, while simultaneously, government policy decreased supply. Now, supply is (mostly) recovered, but demand still remains elevated. Supply can’t keep up, because its target is too high.

This is why we see talk from the Federal Reserve about how consumers will “feel pain” - the only way to reduce demand is to reduce employment or wages, to a level that the supply chain is capable of keeping up with. The Fed press conferences are really interesting to watch as they make this very clear - we are really looking at an “imbalance between supply and demand” due in part to all of economic, social, and political factors.

Also, regarding the CPI not reflecting asset prices: the CPI does not include any measure of equity prices, for instance. Since so many rely on equities to fund their retirement, an increase in equity prices is a meaningful inflation. If the price of the S&P 500 for instance is higher due to an asset bubble, it decreases my ability to purchase shares of it. The increase in equity prices we see is really inflation of equities, but never branded as such. We call it “return on investment”, because the people talking about it are mostly those who already own equities, not those looking to buy them. It’s the same reason as why homeowners dislike seeing home prices increase, while homebuyers enjoy it.

I’ll also mention that the CPI has a lot of other bunk practices in it. For instance, “hedonistic adjustment”. A (slightly conspiratorial) site called ShadowStats computes a modified CPI that uses older CPI methodology (before the meaning of inflation was redefined to show lower inflation) that currently sits at 17 or so percent.
Grade inflation is very much an issue right now at all levels of academia and this is the primary issue. Parents or students complain and leadership or the teacher capitulate. It was only exacerbated by the pandemic.

Of course there is the chance this professor is unfairly hard or has lost his touch as a teacher, but this has always existed. Half my friends who took organic chemistry failed or barely passed it the first time. The mentality then was to study harder and try again.

This is like saying "a security camera that's wired to a central recorder should still work for a few minutes even if someone cuts through the wire." It's indeed a feature that you could add to a device, but it's clear that it would increase the cost and _not_ clear that it would be worth that cost.

Dota2 could have a similar situation. Enemy is doing Roshan. Obviously not as significant as your example since teams play around the control of that area and have very good gamesenses. But sometimes that few extra seconds or confidence to initiate would make a gamechanging difference.

It would also be a lot harder to detect since just having a hunch is a perfectly valid reason to jump into the fog.
> So, yea, a WiFi camera isn't great, but it's still going to get 99% of criminals out there. Next we just need WiFi jammer alarms.

All we need is onboard storage to record a couple hours of video locally which can then be synced when the connection is back again. Right? That doesn't fix real-time information transmission, but video is most often important for finding suspects after the fact.

I think the kids are also misled to a great degree. They basically told us if we'd want to go to uni and go for a STEM degree we should absolutely, totally do the focused math courses etc.

When I arrived for my CompSci they basically said: "We'll leave what you already learned in math behind around christmas (so after half of the first semester), no matter what kind of math you learned before".

I can't 100% grade both judgments, but I did not take the advanced math thing, but if they hadn't said these (apparently) completely wrong thing, I 100% would've taken French at school. (Which is another problem I'll not go further into, some fixed tracks of what path you need to choose in which grade)

I can’t speak to Syracuse itself, but some of the suburban areas around Syracuse are pretty nice and have very good schools. For example, Fayetteville-Manlius High School is ranked #807 in the entire US: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/new-york/...

My wife is from the area and I’ve been there dozens of times. It’s not as happening as a major city, but if you wanted to live in an affordable suburb outside a large-enough city, it would be a fine place to live.
And exactly why anyone thought a wifi video camera would be a good idea is beyond me. I write video security software and have told people as long as I can remember that any wireless security camera is a joke. Hell, electrical storms disrupt them.

WebAssembly Is Not A Stack Machine
I am not sure I am joking. Because on the other hand open source is exploited by big monopolist corporations such as Microsoft and Google.

GitHub sits on top of millions of hours worth of free labour and was sold for billions.

Android open source effectively creates a mould around Google’s ad based monopoly business where other businesses creating mobile operating systems have to compete with something given away for “free”.

Plus plenty of other examples.
The feature being an in-memory buffer that can store a few minutes of not-particularly-highres, mostly stationary video? I'm surprised Ring doesn't seem to have that already -- although the article does talk about missing hours, which implies the jammer was activated long before the actual heist.
I have an NYU chemistry degree and I took quite a lot of organic. I wasn’t pre-med and had planned, at the time, to get a PhD with research in organic chemistry/material science.

Even though my classes were with this guy’s predecessor’s predecessor, everything described about the challenge of this class and the complaints from premeds was exactly the same ~20 years ago.

Organic Chemistry 1, 2 and 3 at NYU have always been considered challenging and “weed out”. I was and am very proud of my moderately successful academics in chemistry from NYU and find it a bit sad that the expectations given to me are changing.
Or if the system allows live spectators, just log another machine in as one of those and scrape the data that way, possibly more reliable than adding machine vision into the mix. That won't work for contests that have a broadcast delay though.

Thank you for bringing this approach onto my radar. It sounds very promising for solving the OS upgrade issue but also let's me finally use the latest version for my projects. I will read up on this.

Nah you'll find that there actually is research done into which activities stimulate the brain the most. Some of the only things that stimulate all four hemispheres of the brain at the same time include sex or sight-reading and singing at the same time.
Basically:

- Traditional Unix optimises for sharing resources and using them efficiently - 'multiprocessing', 'time slicing', 'resource sharing', 'garbage collecting', etc.

- Realtime: optimises for deterministic low latency. SCHED_FIFO processes that use a logical CPU and do not yield during the trading day, use money to buy more memory or crash rather than allow the GC to destroy your latency during the trading day.

Modern sensors combined with computational photography does seem to be changing this though.

For example, I now use my phone camera to see where I'm going at night if it's dark, and to read distant text. This is despite my (corrected) eyesight being better than 20/20 and I have better than usual night vision.

Name one "Western" country that was democratic, really, for more than 40 years during WWI

That "really" gives you a lot of wiggle room to move the goalposts, since before WWI women generally weren't allowed to vote, and in many countries voting was mainly limited to the aristocracy (or other criteria). So there were no "real" late-20th century democracies anywhere in the 19th century.

The closest you can get to are a few constitutional monarchies

See, you're moving the goalposts already. Why would constitutional monarchies not qualify as "real"?

So, taking the same wiggle room you have allowed yourself, there's the United Kingdom (1689), Sweden (1809), Spain (1812), Norway (1814), The Netherlands (1815), Belgium (1831), Switzerland (1848), and Portugal (1852).
The money printing in 2008/9 was in response to a deflationary spiral. It didn’t cause inflation because it was mopped up by the deflationary conditions.
This is a wrong analogy, I feel. A student being a customer is not quite right.

I think the analogy of a sports coach and a mentee is more appropriate. The purpose of the coach is to train the youngster to become competitive enough for the league. It's not to certify that "you are great, the game is rigged", just because the mentee pays the coach.
For those who wonder like me what problems are solved by ASDF (why not use a big JSON file?), here's what I found.

But I'd love a shorter explanation!

"

The following lists our key requirements for a useful format:

• Human readable metadata; format suitable for archives.

• Efficient support for binary data.

• Implicit grouping and organization of metadata and data items.

• Use of a standard format for metadata to leverage existing tools and community.

• Easily extensible features, both for the general standard, and narrower needs.

• Strong validation tools.

• Ability to provide flexible WCS (world coordinate system) models.

• References to common data or metadata without requiring copying.

• Open Source, community controlled.

When they disagree, one of them is wrong. Would you rather have just the wrong sensor or both the wrong one and the good one as inputs to decide what to do?
>This is bonkers, the entire point of orgo is to cull the pre-med students.

But why? Seems silly you use the mechanism of education as a filter and make a course obnoxiously and unnecessarily difficult for that purpose. Why not... filter pre-med students by simply limiting admission into the program? The earlier you make people seriously consider things the less time they waste and headache they endure. How many practicing medicine today actually use organic chemistry regularly? Most don't at least from the pool I've worked with (surgeons, internal medicine, pharmacists, nurses, etc.). Pharmacy is the closest but most rely on database systems outside of hospital pharmacists or active researchers in drugs.
It is also making the assumption that adding cameras to your house makes you unburglable, which is far from true. Not that it doesn't reduce the likelihood.

All the camera allows you to do is point at some vaguely humanoid figures in your house to the police (who will likely not be able to do anything about it) and to your insurance (who likely would have paid out anyway)

What I'd like to know is if turning your house into a fortress makes you _more_ of a target to a specific subset of professional high-end thieves, as they know you have valuable stuff that you would like to protect.
While I somewhat agree…

For people who disagree with this, I ask them the following:

“Think of the average person in generation / group <insert>. Would you want them defending you on trial for murder? How about fixing your break lines?”

Young 20 somethings can do that today, but far fewer than a generation ago.

Regardless, I actually think it’s far simpler.

Why?

If a test is supposed to measure your mastery of material relative to others', and point out your areas of potential improvement, a test with a full range of scores from 0 to 100% seems most effective. A test with a range of 0-40 is, agreed, less effective; but still better than a range of 80-100: an overly hard test merely points out that everyone has room for improvement.

> I never understood people asking those questions.

I agree and I'll go even further:

I think that all these attitudes towards education ("it's too hard", "nobody will need this", "we should make it more fun", ...) are very typically Western and don't seem to be shared in certain Asian societies (e.g. Korea). I'm not saying we should go towards the other extreme (which has a ton of downsides too), but somehow, in certain other cultures actually applying yourself in school seems to have a higher value than it does for us. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but it seems some parts of our society have become too complacent, and I think this is ultimately dangerous for society.
Given it comes with specific "astronomical" problems in mind, no pun intended, can ASDF be used for other data, for example biomedical data? Would it be a good format for example for biosignals?
> you can work out what MWI predicts a complex agent will report as its experience

There's kind of an ontological trick at this point. Using decoherence, self-locating uncertainty, and one or more assumptions about rational decision-making, you can derive what rational credence you might apportion to each of the agent's possible experiences. I feel like this is different from actually predicting the agent's experience.

> What I think jltsiren is trying to say is that if you're trying to parallelize within one file, you've already lost.

I disagree, you don't need to split up a file to parallelize things if you just use a moderately recent format.

Put it in parquet, have sensible row groups, and turn on zstd compression. Split it into multiple files if you want but fast access to subsets of files which are neatly compressed is very easy to get now.

You also get the ability to store things losslessly, which you don't get so much without custom work with TSV (main example here is floats) and things like schemas.

I've just tested out moving from one of my zstd parquet test files that's 190M, and it's 4.8G as a CSV file for a single datapoint.

I find this bizarre. Nearly all of the systemic issues faced by Millennials are because Boomers feel entitled to a house that appreciates massively, and retirement account that only goes in one direction, etc.

Boomers have massive economic entitlement. Gen Z have massive social entitlement. And Millennials are caught somewhere in the middle not feeling entitled to either, but struggling nonetheless.
Perhaps, but for most students the grade is the important benefit. An 'F' is a career-altering problem.

Early in my schooling I personally emphasized learning over grades and consistently encountered a high level of disapproval and administrative friction. The students who complained in this scenario aren't wrong, but it's the system that requires reform, not the professor.

The risk of my home catching on fire each year due to any electrical issue is 0.04%. The risk of me dying or being injured due to such an issue is 0.00004%. That includes not just home electronics but every possible wiring and electrical insanity.

For comparison, my risk of getting into a car accident is north of 1% and the risk of dying in a car accident is around 0.02%.

So in other words compared to all the other risks out there home electronics are very safe.

I think that's a common misunderstanding about who owns what in a marriage. I'll quote Matt Levine on this:

One thing that I find a little weird about the Bezos divorce is that there are a lot of claims that it will make MacKenzie Bezos “the world’s richest woman.” I suppose there is a technical sense in which that is right, but it assumes not only that she will have a right to half of Jeff Bezos’s assets in divorce, but also that she has no such right in marriage. That strikes me as a strange way to think about marriage, and about the “community property” laws that might give her half the assets in divorce. (Surely those laws imply that she is in a sense a joint owner now?) I would have thought the more straightforward analysis is that she is the world’s richest woman now, because she is a member of a married couple that has more money than any other single person or married couple on the planet, but I guess that is not how the scorekeeping works.
