> you run into deflationary problems.

Deflation means people who save increase their purchasing power without gambling on stonks. The savers mentality is called low time preference.

Any problems from less consumerism would be felt by junk producers: plastic spinner toys, yet another streaming service, iGadget yearly upgrades. High time preference people are the market for short-lived trash. A currency with disappearing value encourages such consumption because it does not hold value.

Due to technology and manufacturing advances, price decreases (deflation) are natural.

> Right now gas prices are at an all time high, and so are gas profits

Definitely not an all time high, but yes a rapid increase. According to a quick quarterly chart I pulled up, a barrel of oil was last over $100 in June 2014. It spent most of the period 2010-2014 above $80 (it's currently $86). I remember paying > $5/gallon at the pump back then. I see a peak in June 2008 at $140.

Profits are also now coming down, at least according to Exxon's report today:

"(Bloomberg) - Exxon Mobil Corp. gave an early snapshot of its earnings for the third quarter, during which refining margins shrank while profits from natural gas kept climbing.
"The largest US energy company said in a filing Tuesday that margins within its energy-products segment, which includes oil refining, were as much as $2.9 billion lower compared with the second quarter. That segment posted $5.3 billion in net income in the three months through June."

Latest Updates: Elon Musk, Twitter in Talks About Closing Deal
I am so afraid of the potential of a cyber attack via IoT... with people taking image files from random spots on the dark web and writing them to their rasp pi's without looking at what's on the image, and putting random devices on their network without having any way to explore the code embedded -- it would be very easy for a widescale cyber attack to suddenly be unleashed and very suddenly we wouldn't even know what hit us.
Absolutely not. Airplanes have to be aerodynamic, and it would be incredibly challenging to make the entire bottom portion of the plane something that can open up and fit a giant battery. Never mind the weight of the whole system plus battery. The whole idea is absurd and completely impractical.

It's a pretty good article, if you read the whole thing. People seem to be getting hung up on the "girls in yoga pants" non-sequiturs. The author spells it out near the bottom of the article:

> Meanwhile, we’ve systematically defunded classrooms... It has consequences... Professors like me have to fill articles like this with yoga photos to keep people’s attention. And it's only going to get worse. Our politicians are going to get dumber. Our youth are going to get more restless and desperate. Misinformation is going to get more outlandish. That’s our future, as predicted by the movie Idiocracy.

In other words, she did it for the clicks. It's either a mildly clever rhetorical device or rage-inducing clickbait, depending on where you fall on the "easily angered" spectrum.
Given that many if not most wired devices in a zigbee or zwave mesh can already perform this task (including lowly switches and light bulbs), I'm not sure how much of a problem that is. You only need one hub.

Thousands of lifes and millions if not billions affected to various degree in order to slightly cool down our planet (I think the point of reducing emissions is not to prevent global warming but to rather keep the air we breathe not too contaminated?)? Jokes aside, maybe the nuclear tests in the 30s,40s and 60s were the reason why the globe has become slightly colder to begin with, and what is being observed now is just out planet recovering from a reasonably rough century of forceful cooling down inflicted by nuclear events?
Tensor does imply a set of operations that are expected. Multiplying two arrays together is an ambiguous operation; multiplying two tensors together is well-defined.

And really, the context is math, not programming. The programming side of DL is approximately trivial, the interesting bits are all represented as mathematical operations on a set of tensors.

I’m always more curious about the operational story, but new projects tend to focus on the low-level implementation.

I love Redis, but managing HA is a pain and requires a good bit of engineering on its own. I think this is how RedisLabs stays in business.

This seems to separate backend and front end, maybe so you could use a more appropriate storage for your use case?

But what would a production-ready deployment look like? How would you handle failover for patching or… failure?

Adding a front end can sometimes double the problem needing to have 1 failure setup for it and 1 for the backend. If I were to use the slab storage (looks really ideal for most of our workloads), how would that work?

Too much to answer here, but stuff I’d like to see as it matures. It’s the unsexy stuff, I know. Way more fun to get into the bits.
I haven't dug into everything you are doing, but the biggest flaw I see seems to be that you assume Cash returns 0% nominal, i.e. that there is no return for holding cash. That is only true if you hide it under your mattress(and no deflation happens). Most people do not hide money under their mattress anymore, especially if they have large amounts of it. They put it in a bank account or in a MMF or some other interest producing place.

Since 1972, Cash has a real return of 0.53% (inflation adjusted):

Not "The article" in question, but definitely another good addition to the topic at hand. Also vaguely familiar to the article I read long ago, but this is newer.

I can see both sides. If you have to cheat, that is your personal flaw and you have many other options in life where that behavior doesn’t matter.

Especially since there are many others who don’t cheat that can take your place in a competition.

That's a strange take on the subject of db servers and ssl usage.
Most db servers shouldn't be accessible on internet, which skews the announced result a lot.
And, obviously, clients and servers generally won't require ssl by default, because it would make no sense in most situations. (but at least the 'prefer' default setting is mentionned)
Requiring a certificate to run the server isn't something that is likely to become the default setting for a while...

It’s pretty evident that Musk is falling into the same sort of spiral that autocrats do when they surround themselves with sycophants and get used to breaking the rules for fun. What signal does he have that he’s gone too far? Well… none… until Delaware Chancery requires him to pay tens of billions of dollars that he signed over on a lark.

IMO the fact that he made even one tweet ever about this whole debacle (prior to resolution) is evidence that he can’t trust his team (or his team is truly bad).
The statistics are available ex:

In the United States between 2005 and 2020, of the 42 nonfederal police officers convicted following their arrest for murder due to an on-duty shooting, only five ended up being convicted of murder.

By comparison:

In 2018 70% of US murder cases resulted in conviction.

It is not an unpopular opinion, it is against the grain. Education is great for countries, but when it becomes a business it is better for the universities than for the country. For politicians, more education is good on paper, any politician that would say otherwise will be called a Nazi and cancelled.

The right mix of education is great for everyone, imbalances should be corrected and these days the pendulum is on the side of too many students for a cost that is too high.
> there should be fewer people going to university

Strong disagree. This is a rational response to seeing what higher education in the US has become, but it doesn't have to be that way.

What we need is a tertiary education model that seeks to refine critical thinking, awareness of the world, and a funnel into degrees with practical job outcomes - for those that seek them.

Other countries have this model, particularly in Europe, where college isn't a requirement for employment, but a benefit none-the-less.

This entire article is a weird ramble around the central point of "college enrollment has dropped year over year", which, while true, can easily be attributed to students not wanting to pay the same amount of money as before to sit in front of a Zoom screen.

Following this argumentation would imply that cryptocurrencies don't provide a real value and therefore can't be stolen (which also implies that your average cryptocurrency scam is fair game because nothing of value is lost).

what article?
> If I was, I'd probably believe that Niemann is a proven cheater and would look for facts to confirm that bias.

But Niemann is a proven cheater. He admitted to it himself.

The only thing up for debate is how much he’s cheated.
There are always extra factors that can be discovered.

There was a video game speedrun cheating incident where the cheater was caught splicing. But their splices were perfect. No audio artifacts, no video artifacts, for a long time no evidence at all because the cheater perfectly conformed to all known cheat detection.

Then one day it was discovered that the loading animation was dependent on a frame counter that persisted across all game states. If the run wasn't spliced, the loading animation's current sprite should have matched a perfectly predictable pattern.

It didn't. But this counter/consistency wasn't discovered until much after the run was achieved, so the cheater had no way of avoiding detection.

This is basically what happened with Hans. Hans knew all the traditional methods for detecting chess cheating successfully evaded them.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-30/chess-cheating-expert...

but new techniques for cheat detection were developed in direct response to accusations against Hans, and Hans had not perfectly emulated a prodigy human with his cheating. He did things that only an assisted player would be capable of.
No one has yet mentioned that the Design Patterns uses UML to elucidate its patterns. I think those diagrams work due to their limited scope. I hope those I have drawn with similar limits have helped others understand my and even their own designs.
That’s ridiculously short sighted to think out only options are hydrogen or the status quo.

Off the top of my head I can think of biofuels plus carbon neutral recaptured co2 from excess renewable energy.

Diesel electric motors for example with the ‘diesel’ being carbon neutral biofuel. This is actually being tested on large airbus jets currently.

Hydrogen is one of the worst possible options for aircraft. Energy density is crap, tankage is heavy, failure modes catastrophic.
Solar generators aren't specified to be UPSes. Some work, some don't, just like power banks. I love them, but they're not always perfect.

Raspberry Pis are common though. They've taken over like half of DIY electronics and home servers, for a good reason, everything else is way more hassle and less supported.

Not sure why you say PD is overcomplicated. Until you get above 30 to 60w where not everything supports it, stuff just works. Their only big mistake I see is not keeping the 12v power tier.

WAY too many things run on 12v and losing the ability to easily run legacy stuff sucked. But they'll fix that when 12v PPS trigger modules are available, for some reason they are not currently.

Prof was an older gentleman who, strangely enough, wrote the book we were using. He felt, for whatever reason, that the common name for compounds was the way to go. So it was dead memorization w/o any systematization. Yeah, some IUPAC but not enough to make a difference. 75-76.

It's all memorization to me. NMR groups show up at particular bands. Certain features suggest certain groups. How the %&!@$! coupling occurs. I hate memorization. I remember what I need, but not as the principal task.
Even more!? Whats in the WSJ article is more than plenty enough to conclude that Nieman is a dirty cheater.
> stuff like this is the main reason I was once a big climate change skeptic

That's the only ideological/religious (or perhaps more properly identitarian) statement here. Rather than assess statements about physical reality, you choose to follow your emotional reactions to what people you associate with a movement are saying (or what you interpret them as saying). Even if I had mentioned climate change (which I didn't) and my argument was just rubbish or purely ideological, what could that possibly have to do with your assessment of the gamut of climate change science? Why would you let commenters you don't respect affect your assessments of science? It's precisely the same "argument" forwarded by people who dismiss climate science because they don't like a US politician who once made a film about climate change. Emotional reactivity, nothing more.

> Nature is simply that which is.

Who mentioned 'nature'? Unless you're a metaphysical dualist, it's a concept we can ditch. It's really only of use to marketers.

I'm talking about the planetary entropy increase caused by dismantling complex systems, evolved over thousands of years, to build crude technological ones, and falsely using the metaphor of 'growth' to describe this destructuring process. All this happens within 'nature', if you insist on the term.

Viewed as a physical process (ie. ignoring its own virtual economic self-descriptions which are as unrelated to physical processes as are those of theology), this is what capitalism is.

Also most modern synths have noise oscillators for this purpose (eg Serum, Pigments, etc, etc).

Things just sound too clean and perfect/boring if you don't use some kind of saturation/noise or distortion for ear candy.

As an aside, I'm pretty sure Skrillex puts CamelPhat on his master bus. The music video for one of his songs was his Ableton set and it was shown in there.
