> This is a question I have never seen these inflation hawks answer: If printing money triggers inflation, why is there a 14 year lag on that effect?

The argument I've heard, though am not well enough equipped to fully analyze, is that the created money was going into overseas accounts as various nations tried to accumulate the global reserve currency - dollars - to purchase oil and other products that were generally traded in dollars. As long as that remained the case, an awful lot of dollars could be printed, spent, and ended up squirreled away elsewhere not really having an impact (velocity of money and such).

Now, though, that arrangement is ending - in no part due to the US abusing our financial system to control what everyone else can or can't do (see Visa's opinions about what industries they'll serve for an example, also SWIFT, global sanctions, etc). So other countries are making other arrangements that don't involve dollars - I'm pretty certain dollars aren't involved in the Russian oil sales to various other countries in their sphere anymore. And any reasonable country that isn't heavily tied to the US has to be figuring out how to move off dollars.

So now those all come home to roost, and combined with the lack of things to buy, we see the nasty inflation we're getting.

I'm not certain how well it holds up if you really dig into it, but there are certainly people answering your question if you actually go looking for how it's being answered.
Tesla spends $0 dollars on marketing (not really, but still).

Twitter is Teslas marketing department, and probably the marketing department for other Musk firms.

Musk gets to make sure this very valuable entity remains valuable.

Lots of press outlast are being turned into sponsored non-profits.

Seems Musk wants a similar model for this non-profiting for-profit.
> the prosecution simply has to prove that the officer in question was thinking the wrong thoughts when he pulled the trigger.

Close, but not quite. It's not about what the person was thinking, it's about what a "reasonable person" would think given the same situation.

For what it's worth, this is how it works for civilians too.

The only burden is to convince a jury a reasonable person would also believe there was a threat given the same situation. Reasonable meaning having the same information as the people involved, ie. without the benefit of hindsight or later discovered facts.
You stopped just short of the worst one:

>The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act – also known as the Copyright Term Extension Act, Sonny Bono Act, or (derisively) the Mickey Mouse Protection Act[1] – extended copyright terms in the United States in 1998. It is one of several acts extending the terms of copyrights.[2]

The WiFi is in the hub. You should read it more carefully.
I do find that they're pretty bad at the whole picture. I'm guessing it has much to do with remembering that "money" isn't at all valuable, "goods and services" are. So this is pretty far from a science; but if there's reasonable "optimism" or more precisely "good churn in economic activity," the effects of inflation will be dampened.
Decades.

It looks like he started working on it in 1962.

Just imagine being that intelligent and pouring 60 years of your life into something like this.
>Their attorney claimed police "had no idea who was in that vehicle" when they opened fire

No, but they knew that the truck contained a dangerous amount of paper with an informationally poisonous substance pressed into it. Who knows what kind of ideological damage could have happened if that stuff was released into the environment. The narrative could crumble!
From the article:

While it says Niemann’s improvement has been “statistically extraordinary.” Chess.com noted that it hasn’t historically been involved with cheat detection for classical over-the-board chess, and it stopped short of any conclusive statements about whether he has cheated in person. Still, it pointed to several of Niemann’s strongest events, which it believes “merit further investigation based on the data.” FIDE, chess’s world governing body, is conducting its own investigation into the Niemann-Carlsen affair.
It works fine on the happy path, but if mysql goes down, you lose things. Having a distributed, resilient queue has availability benefits.

We’re a hybrid AI + biotech start-up, developing novel deep learning and molecular simulation techniques to predict molecular properties and using them to accelerate the development of new medicines.

We raised a $52M Series A from Andreessen Horowitz + well-respected biotech investors, and have deployed our technology on several internal drug programs as well as multi-target collaborations with Genentech + Lilly ($20M up-front revenue + $670M potential total value), driving discovery progress at a speed rarely seen in the industry. Now we are scaling the team and technology to support many more drug programs in parallel as well as increasingly difficult protein targets.

We currently have a team (https://www.genesistherapeutics.ai/company.html#team) of about 40 people, split 50/50 between our ML / software team and our biochem team of veteran drug hunters in our own wetlab space. Our ML + software engineers are top-notch -- many graduates from MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford. Previously worked at OpenAI, Google, Facebook, SingleStore, Jane Street, etc.

We're looking for pure software engineers (no bio or chem experience expected) to help build flexible production systems to integrate our ML models, molecular simulation platform, and molecular generation techniques into our drug programs. This includes helping build individual algorithmic components, iterating on our chemist-facing model deployment pipeline, and leveraging our autoscaling cluster of hundreds of GPUs and thousands of CPUs processing billions of molecules / day.

We're also hiring ML research scientists and computational chemists. Here are all of our open roles: https://jobs.lever.co/genesistherapeutics/

Amen. The first rule of distributed objects is "don't distribute your objects". It's much easier to reason about a bunch of different actors, each with their own copies of objects, trying to converge on consensus, than it is to actually have a distributed database that obeys ACID and does all the databasey things.

A subtle distinction, but an important one.

What on earth. Some people have an irrational hate for Apple that borders on a mental illness.
And remember we only care about 8 bits of the output (actually less due to JPEG compression) but each latent value is a 32-bit float.
Also, understanding basics of statistics.
I agree with this. A less tactful way of explaining it:

"When am I ever going to use calculus in my life??"

You? Probably never. But we're teaching everyone on the off chance that one of you goes on to do something useful with it. Enabling that one person to find a way to make rockets more efficient or something is well worth the tradeoff of wasting the rest of the class's time, from a societal point of view.
Agreed. "Stable Diffusion with Diffusers" and "The Annotated Diffusion Model" were excellent and are linked in the article. The code in Diffusers was also a good reference.

> "[...] their colleague that put out a manifesto about how corrupt they were. Sure he was killing cops [...]"

Dorner didn't just publish a manifesto and kill corrupt cops. He also murdered Monica Quan who's only 'fault' was being the daughter of a retired LAPD cop, and he murdered Keith Lawrence who's only crime was being Monica's fiance, with her when she was murdered.

Your whitewashing Dorner for rhetorical effect to make the LAPD look worse. Don't do that. The truth is bad enough, it doesn't need to be 'enhanced'.

> You should be using an email parsing library that implements the spec properly.

> you should use a URL library, not some hack

I think what you're somehow missing is that I am specifically offering authoring an email parsing library (or URLs, or whatever) as an example of where things break down.

Your answer is essentially "let someone else program it, because it's complicated and fraught with peril" -- but my entire point is that it's complicated and fraught with peril.

You are agreeing with me, and your post is a fine example of why the interfaces are bad and error prone.
But even this answer is bullshit. The real answer is these are just hoops you need to jump through to get a good job. My daughter will most likely grow up to become a great artist, she has talent for it and she loves it. I can't see her ever doing algebra and beyond in her career or interests. Why do we continue to torture kids with this one size fits all? It's terrible
Do you have examples of the stuff getting leaked? I've not seen anything (though I tend to stay away from celebrity gossip).
The most use I ever got from my high school English literature class was at a bar in college. An older, much more sophisticated English major was talking to me about her favourite line from Macbeth and I was able to finish her sentence. It felt amazing. You never know when it might come in handy.
I'm sad to see this because we literally do use calculus every day of our lives. We just don't often recognize it. The weather report is made using calculus. The calculation of the minimum payment on your credit card bill is made with calculus. Calculus is used in computer animation and video games. It's part of statistical analyses that affect government and financial institution decisions. It's used in manufacturing.

It's impossible to live a day in the modern world without calculus.

It's a huge missed opportunity to liken it to working out.
That’s not how it was phrased.

> One needs only to taste legit French cheese,

Not sure how you got from food safety to how much you like the taste of particular cheese, but to me they're very different problems. I'm only talking about food safety.

> They also conveniently keep volunteers and churches from feeding the homeless, so subsidized corporations can handle that.

Not generally, but perhaps in your area. Where I am there are special exemptions for charitable organizations giving out food: https://www.sfdph.org/dph/EH/Food/lscfo.asp

There are still some requirements, which I think is good. Nobody, homeless people included, should receive unsafe food.
You keep claiming this, but it is fairly obvious that prices can be forced up by factors that have nothing to do with the money supply - most notably, constrained supply in basic raw materials (especially oil and its derivatives) can force virtually all prices up, regardless of the amount of currency available.
Nothing. The people that understand history aren't in a position of power, and the people in a position in power--most of them, anyway--don't need to remember, it works against them.
I used to know some people who were pleased that they could received their Aura massage over the phone, as it saved the inconvenience of visiting their Aura massage provider in person.

For those who are not fully caught up on Gwyneth Paltrow bullshit, an "Aura massage" involves a charlatan waving their hands near you, without touching you.
I'm sure you already know this, but the deal has already been financed. He is not buying the whole Twitter by himself, just the majority. If co-investors bail out, investment banks who signed the deal take those stocks.

If you compare the purchase price to what Twitter likely would cost without the deal–using the price change of other social media platforms and internet ad platforms as a benchmark–it seems likely that Musk is paying ~$20 billion over the current market value.

If Musk wants to offload even more stocks, he takes huge haircut. At least 50% or more. It's likely better to wait for better times and restructure Twitter.

No matter how you look at it, this is horrible deal for Musk unless he can make Twitter shine again.
So? The argument is that inflation always happens when there is fiat printing. We printed a shitload of dollars between 2000-2020, yet inflation was low throughout that period. So the explanation is clearly insufficient.
AppletTalk was 0.23 Mbps.

Arcnet was a token bus (like IEEE 802.4 from General Motors' MAP) and not a token ring (like IEEE 802.5 from IBM's Zurich research).
Ah. I misunderstood your earlier comment. Thanks!
I'm no crypto fanboy by any means, but it's hard to not think that, if crypto doesn't completely die out this bear market, it's likely to be at least a somewhat significant factor in all of this.

Not saying it will save us all, but it seems like alternate stores-of-value are likely to be, well, valuable.
> It is a fact that incomes have not risen for decades

Is this a fact?

I just checked the data from the US Census Bureau [1]. Here is what I see (all numbers inflation-adjusted to 2021 equivalent [2]).

Note: I chose 1994 as the comparison year since that was as far back as the Census data I looked at goes.

1994 median individual income: $44,618

2021 median individual income: $60,008

1994 mean individual income: $58,005

2021 mean individual income: $83,039

[1] Source: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-p... . I used the 'Worked Full-Time, Year-Round' data since that was available for both 1994 and 2021.

[2] Using the PCE inflation index, which includes energy and food prices: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PCEPI -- I used January 1994 and January 2021 as the reference points.
One thing to note about coding in Clojure — if you never learned Java, you hit a wall at a certain point. I only know scripting languages and I had fun writing little scripts in clojure, but at a certain point the lack of java knowledge and it's class system / standard libraries held me back from doing more serious things.
A major aspect of QE is creating artificial demand for USTs (the Fed becomes a buyer), i.e. price support in the wake of the GFC. That is intimately related to the USD as global reserve currency, which is not something there is much historical precedent for.

In the past, reserve currencies died for many compounding reasons. QE is a novel scheme to prolong the USD's life as a reserve currency, and is only possible due to modern financial technology. It's definitely not sustainable and can only prolong the inevitable crash in demand for USTs as faith in Washington continues to wane globally. Kicking the can down the road.
You don't think that a possible explanation for GP's post is principled disagreement that the article makes a good case, rather than necessarily ardent pro-cop bias?
tldr; an okay summary of why we shouldn't expect system change to result in a better approach to the environment - extraordinary Soviet excesses, Chinese words vs reality; followed by a sui generis clarion call for system change. ?!?!?

I'm reminded of a recent study showing that autocratic systems lie and claim more than twice the economic growth they're actually getting; with China the lead liar. Includes a nice graph. You can believe the same is true of autocratic reports about how nice they are to the environment; because bad news isn't passed up the chain of command.
My bet is on the rest of the communications being publicized by the court. Billionaires aren't used to their private texting being public like that.

Musk might like the circus around him, but a lot of people who have been texting him probably aren't enjoying the hundreds of news articles analyzing their private conversations. He could have gotten some communications that he'll become a persona non grata in many of his circles if he doesn't stop the court procedures immediately
I mean it's pretty straightforward right? There are now more dollars in play all after the same amount of goods, each dollar has less purchasing power. Why are you so quick to throw out the simplest explanation?
> Hans' strength magically decreased in the Sinquefield cup once broadcast delay was introduced for example.

So you discount a possibility that the controversy and allegations against him had at least some effect in him playing worse in the Sinquefield Cup?

Anyway, there were studies out there that there were no statistical differences in his rating gains in tournaments broadcasted with delays and without it. Study by Kenneth Regan also found no irregularities in his play, so the only 'evidence' of him using computer help are allegations by a company that is in business relationship with Carlsen, and his 'bad' analysis in post game interview. I'm not very impressed.
The "signal path" is simply the presence of more money, which means that purchasers have more money to pay.
Ironically, if von Neumann was alive today he would probably encourage kids to use some number crunching software rather than "getting used to it". In that sense civilization may actually have regressed since the von Neumann / Feynman days. Ditching pen and paper for sophisticated computing tools gave us nuclear power and moon landings within 20 years.

It’s very different if your debt is in your national currency ( that will loose value if your country turns to shite), or in another currency. US can print money as long as it wants to pay its debts. It may have an impact on the interest rate for future debts, but at least it won’t default on the current ones.
The more currency flooding the economy, the less wealthy the rich people are. Inflation occurs because the owners need to remain wealthy, hence prices go up everywhere. If it were possible for the top few to do with a little less, prices wouldn't have to skyrocket.
> C's "everything is a memory leak" any better?

That's a bit hyperbolic, unless you apply the same phrase to any language (including C++) without a full tracing garbage collector or equivalent. X leaking a resource is not the same as X returning a resource that the caller is explicitly responsible for freeing. Further, C in practice is not as bad as you portray. Maintainers of large open-source projects, of which I used to be one, often define their own memory-management facilities and rules which are just as good as C++'s in preventing leaks for most code. I think they shouldn't need to nowadays, and that C would be a poor choice for a new project at any level, but that's easily shown without resorting to hyperbole.
If Apple, the richest computer hardware company on earth, is giving in to the lure of ads, I doubt Twitter will be in any rush to separate itself from ads.
Even the distributions have a hard time with the NodeJS environment and its relentless pace - and the more software gets written in JS the worse. When e.g. software A depends on library X@1.0 and software B on library X@1.1, and X has done breaking changes, what should a distribution do?

Hard forks in the package name (e.g. libnodejs-x-1.0 and libnodejs-x-1.1) are one option, but blow up the repository package count and introduce maintenance liability for the 1.0 version. Manually patching A to adapt to the changes in X works, but is a hell of a lot of work and not always possible (e.g. with too radical changes), not to mention if the work should be upstreamed, then licensing issues or code quality crop up easily which means yet more work. Dropping either A or B also works, but users will complain. And finally, vendoring in dependencies works also, but wastes a lot of disk space and risks security issues going unpatched.

And that's just for final software packages. Dependency trees of six or ten levels deep and final counts in the five digits are no rarity in an average NodeJS application.

Importing even the bare minimum introduces an awful lot of work and responsibility to distributions.
Try mpv before dismissing it like that!

They don't provide traditionnal ui controls, but there are still a few buttons, play, pause, next/previous, a seek bar, subtitles/audio track, etc. Everything is pretty barebones as it's running on the subtitle engine AFAIK.

You generally drag and drop media to play it, or open files directly (or with the command line). These days I mostly use mpv, it ha great HW accel, wayland support, etc. I still use vlc for more involved cases like playing media off the network (its original use- case!), disk or webcams, etc. Though mpv can handle most of these too!
You can use all of these things without you personally knowing calculus. The point of the question is that it's posed by the people who aren't going to go on to create weather reports, credit card payment systems, video games, etc.
