It's the "Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences", and it's Bernanke prize for his work before, after or during the crisis?

"Bernanke Admits Fed Made Mistakes Combating Crisis 10 Years Ago"

"...Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged that policy makers made two critical errors fighting the financial crisis a decade ago: They failed to see it coming with such force then underestimated how much economic damage it would cause later..."

Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences 2022 on how society deals with financial crises
It’s weird to me how many folks attest to “being at FAANG means you’re lazy.” The people I know who joined FAANG in the last five years are some of the hardest working people you’ll meet. There are some who get lucky and manage to coast but overall - the quality and tenacity of the IC folks is generally quite high.

I don’t think many of these people will have trouble finding a job. After all - they most likely grinded the fuck out of leetcode and system design to get in. That type of persona to do hundreds of problems doesn’t easily waver in the face of minor adversity.
Probably because they try to avoid needing to given an press statement/explanation to some more official entity.

There are both federal and state laws that require companies to let the government know if they fire a certain number of people.

Trying to dodge a law that apples to every other company sounds like par for the course for Facebook and the other SV companies that aspire to emulate it.
Ask HN: Help me summon the strength to finish my project
HN I need your help!

I've been working on my project for so very, very long. It's not far off now .... really - it should only be a couple of weeks (though I have been saying that for months now). And I've been highly motivated very a very long time.

But it's coming into the final stretch and just as I can see the finish line I am finding that I am fighting against myself to get it finished.

This really isn't like me - I've been hyper motivated for many, many years.

And this time I think my project is the one that will get traction, after so many years of trying and failing with projects that flare out and sink.

So cheer me on. I need some encouragement to put in the final few weeks to get it done. If I keep dragging my feet it's going to take months. I feel like it's becoming a death march that will crush me unless I put in the final spurt needed to get over the line. I'm tired. I feel like every feature I need to implement is dragging me through molasses.
You do get "Condition of book" which isn't quite the same thing but helpful along the same thread
I'm one of those people who turn off the internet router/access-point/modem at night.

When turning it back on in the morning, it takes a minute for the whole thing to get online. I've often wondered why it takes that long; can't it happen in a few seconds?
A lot of what probability is, is the extent of lack of information.

The Monty Hall Problem is a great example of this.

So I would say the more fundamental thing might be information theory.

This my layman view. Not an expert.
Does Ada have a stable ABI? Do you have to distribute an interface document like a header file with your binary libraries?

I'm curious how they solved generics in libraries. Can't find anything in the documentation, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
Please be precise, this prize has nothing to do with the original Nobel prices.

It's the Sveriges Riksbank's (central bank of Sweden) Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel - as the headline of TFA also tells us.
>buy a secondhand copy

the site's cheapest appear to be exactly that. not only is secondhand the cheapest legal, but also the greenest
While I was going through the effort to set up DAP support, I discovered [mason.nvim](https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim) which has been a game-changer for LSP, DAP, and linter setups.

There had previously been fragmented plugins (williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer was Mason's predecessor and is a good example) that solved the problem of installation and management for each of these. With Mason, I feel that the story for managing different language environments has jumped to be extremely close to VSCode's extensions.
People assume that inequality is expensive. It isn't. Income inequality is what a failing society does to motivate people by meeting their greed rather than meeting their needs. An island of concubines is a lot cheaper to give to a CEO than paying 100,000 employees enough for an electric car.
__utma means they were looking for Google Analytics cookies. If you weren't on the landing page after seeing the ad (and just opened the zip file) you wouldn't have these on your test page. Also:

$ base64 -d
dj01MDY1NDg3MTIwZTU2ZmQ1ZTZlNCZjaWQ9MjY0
v=5065487120e56fd5e6e4&cid=264

cid= is common for campaign identifiers. Might also be "channel". This might not be a CNC system but ad fraud.

Using a coffee shop is a great idea, but perhaps one further away from Tyson's Corner since there are a lot of IP addresses there used by netsec people and servers, so they are on a lot of blocklists.

Sometimes the script is looking for special cookies when injecting onto sites like amazon, so I used to use gift cards to buy stuff on amazon on my testrig when examining some malware, and I would get much more interesting ads than without.

Also: Be careful when recording your SSL traffic (with something like MITMPROXY), since ad guys know about this: https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/issues/4575 but a lot of netsec people forget about this.
Or a simple debounce mechanism that detects continuous falls, maybe training on momentum data of a fall vs continuous fall actions like slamming hammer etc.
This was much more common in the first 2/3 of the 20th century than it is today. I can strongly recommend Theory of Probability (de Finetti, compiled 1970 based on work de Finetti did as early as 1930s) and Foundations of Statistics (Savage, 1972) – the latter leans a bit on the former but expands on it with useful perspectives.

I recommend you start with these basic theoretical books to get a sense of what it's all built on. But then if you want more practical advice about how to handle things, books on sampling theory tend to hit a sweetspot between theory and practise, in my experience. I like Sampling Techniques (Cochran, 1953) and Sampling of Populations (Levy & Lemeshow, 2013).
Something tells me you will.

Bernanke’s research shows that bank crises can potentially have catastrophic consequences. This insight illustrates the importance of well-functioning bank regulation, and was also the reasoning behind crucial elements of economic policy during the financial crisis of 2008–2009. At this time, Bernanke was head of the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, and was able to put knowledge from research into policy. Later, when the pandemic hit in 2020, significant measures were taken to avoid a global financial crisis. The laureates’ insights have played an important role in ensuring these latter crises did not develop into new depressions with devastating consequences for society.
Thanks! Interestingly, the tape for Probability seems to be narrated by someone other than Feynman.

I should probably give some evidence to back up my claim that Feynman didn’t write all of the Lectures, but alas, it’s late. I think the credits for the rest of the authors were in the preface, or at the end. I just wish they’d gotten a little more credit.
Sure is a good thing that you found out that this random pet project is written in C before you shipped it to production and filled it with sensitive medical data! I'm sure you're running Redox anyway, so you would have been safe regardless. Close shave!
I wish they called it Economic Social Sciences, to distinguish it from, ehm, sciences.
does anyone know of any plugin which does the same as the IDEAVim plugin? I'd like to try this kakoune based layout in intellij for the same reasons but this is a bit of a blocker if I have to keep flipping between vim and kakoune bindings.
If I were in your situation, I'd spend my free time contributing to the Linux kernel or something.
Thanks. I'm not as miserable as I make it sounds but the life I had before is 100% gone and dead. I enjoy much of my days and adore my children but I do spend a lot of time realizing there's a lot of things I want to do that just won't happen. I also notice that every time a colleague talks about "working on something over the weekend" or learning more stuff after work I fall further behind professionally.
How about: Politician will lie about anything to get elected.

The day before the invasion we were looking at 6% inflation with everyone expecting it to get worse.
This is really cool, thanks for the write up. I did the same thing in my homelab but much simpler, my shell script only fetched from a few sources and converted it into unbound format so it was much shorter. And I didn't care about statistics, but the idea was the same.

Also, why use ftp instead of curl?[1]

They have to spread them around if they are to avoid getting in trouble. The US has notification laws for large layoffs (laws intended for factory towns, but applicable to any company of size).
Smalltalk only has 6 keywords and everything is done via sending messages to objects. How many language constructs and keywords does Lisp have?

Ultimately different philosophies are at work. Smalltalk makes many objects and has the power to introspect on them (classes are also objects), Lisp has facilities to introspect and do meta programming using macros, making new keywords, so of course the language will grow. That is the whole point. Growing a language for solving specific problems. Smalltalk makes new objects instead.
Yeah, I am stupid. Turns out I had a blocker running :D Sorry, my bad. There are MANY google ads...
I don't know how California works, but in some other states when you fire someone without cause, the company is on the hook for additional unemployment payments.

Forcing 12,000 people to quit instead of firing them would save Facebook millions.
I would search Ada in the Internet Archive's complete BYTE collection. https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine
Slowly waking up to the truth: Brexit has left us poorer, adrift and alone
You can feel however you feel about Bernanke during his tenure as Fed Chair. He was certainly hard to like at times, perhaps sometimes too smug. But his work laying out the pernicious effects of deflationary feedback loops as as an academic is probably one of the most influential works of monetary economics out there.

I suggest people actually reading his papers before making a knee jerk reaction.
Federation seems to be the way to go but current implementations seem a bit lacking from what I've seen.

If you have an account with a Mastodon server, what if the owner takes a disliking to you? What if their server shuts down and you can't migrate your account/identity?

Realistically every person should be hosting their own personal Mastodon node to at least base their account/identity around it, then consume/interact with content via federation but self-hosting isn't a system that works for "normal" people.

Maybe it already works like this (I haven't looked into their code/Mastodon at all recently) but a system where your identity is federated/shared across nodes in the same way torrents are mean that the more communities that you participate in the more "backed up" your identity is; if one node shuts down, your identity is still stored across many other nodes. Hell, it would be possible for people to run identity nodes that deal with nothing other than acting as an identity host/backup for users.

I think the PR advantage for things like Twitter is that people can go to one place: "Twitter", it's easy and you can locate all content from there. Mastodon still seems a little fragmented by comparison. We all might be tech people but I think for regular people to adopt there could be a few improvements.
So the usual pile of library dependencies, but no service dependencies.

It is like talking about storage fragmentation: one layer's internal fragmentation is the next's external fragmentation.
Correct. IBM laid people off for years making sure to stay under the amount which would legally oblige them to report it publicly.
Surprising how many people are misreading the comment/question. Responses range from people answering the question, "What is ActivityPub?", to "What is Mastodon?"

To the original commenter: yes. This project is using ActivityPub kind of like RSS. Since it's ActivityPub and not merely RSS, the experience when using e.g. Mastodon as your reader, however, is "like RSS, worse". On the other hand, since it's ActivityPub, it also supports all the ways to track followups/replies/threads both from the original poster and people who are not the original poster, a way to dynamically track/display who else is subscribed, and it advertises a channel for you to send notifications to if you yourself wanted to reply or follow. This is its main value proposition—mostly for people who prioritize the gimmick of modern-ish social features over simplicity and economical setup/hosting.
Semantics… even the Associated Press calls it the Nobel Prize in Economics:

> STOCKHOLM (AP) — This year’s Nobel Prize in economic sciences has been awarded to the former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ben S. Bernanke, and two U.S.-based economists, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig, “for research on banks and financial crises

Really? Software design feels way more interesting and experimental now than it did back then.
Inter-war tanks are another great example. Everyone knew these new "tank" things were the future, and everyone wanted them, but nobody really knew what they were supposed to look like. So we get marvels like the Vickers Independent, the FCM F1 and the M2 Medium
That building, on the 6th floor, contains a gym with a two lane swimming pool. I visited when I moved to Kyiv, about two months ago, when I looking to find a pool. I can see the building from my apartment (I'm on the 15th floor). I heard the strikes, this morning, at about 9.30am, and saw the plume of smoke rising from the impact site. There were more strikes, about 30 minutes later, a lot further away, and out of sight, so I don't know where they were.
The great thing about addall.com is that you can specify where you are in the world and it takes into account shipping costs. For me, shipping costs for single, second hand, books are routinely more than the cost of the book so this is really useful. They then go one stage further and allow you to specify which currency you would like the costs displayed in.

Perhaps www.pagesonpages.com will add similar features in the future, it can't be a simple thing to do but I appreciate it.
(For a moment I wondered if Reddit was redesigned to look like HN).
I at least gave you an explanation as to where the belief comes from. We're belligerents, plain and simple.

Perhaps we learned it from our parent nation.

And, you're right. Everyone else is wrong on this issue. Unfortunately, you're going to have to live with that fact...
It already is a black mark since years if it was your only relevant employment.

Not because they are bad employees, but because they to used/focused/conditioned on Big Tech work. Which has often very different requirements and processes. Or in other words for such employees it can be especially challenging to onboard them. Which historically seem often is combined with an increased risk of them leaving your company not to long after on-boarding, weather that is for a different startup which now takes them or for founding their own company because they have the money reserves to risk it.

Or in other words, it's in general a risk you don't want to take when hiring.

Exceptions include: You have problems to hire anyone qualified. The person can somehow show through other qualifications that this isn't really a risk (pre "big tech" work, sometimes open source contributions but not always, etc).
> but billionaires optimize for their own wealth growth.

Okay, and by so doing make cheaper or more capable products and new jobs and technologies. But I can’t figure out what I said previously that this is in response to unfortunately.
Right! End of project blues! You need a boss! I have set a reminder for 4 weeks time to send you an email (from profile) to see how you are doing. If you don’t want this let me know…

In the meantime you have all the probably most tedious incremental tasks left to finish. Write a list. Scrub out anything that is excess “polish”. Do one at a time.

That's incorrect. Ada was available from multiple sources for CP/M and DOS machines. For example, there was Artek Ada, SuperSoft Ada, JANUS/Ada, alsys Ada, Telesoft Ada, ...
If memory serves, OS/2 came along just as a memory drought hit and the price went thru the roof, and OS/2 had no advantage in a low memory system.
Wow - thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with us!
There are a lot of good examples in your text which makes it really easy to understand that there is a real difference.

Do you have an idea why people nobody is taking care of that problem?
Because it’s simply too expensive so far?

I’m really curious about this, because we identified how we could potentially fix this problem and help a lot of deaf people.
But it’s always a problem if you think you solve a problem if there is no real need out there.
its on the way I promise - depending on your region I'll have it running between 1 week and 1 month from now.
Technology tends to move faster in war. Society too- America had a smaller army than Bulgaria in 1939.
No, Hare does not emit barriers around every memory access, but the programmer can add them where they want -- and there are no tricky compiler optimizations which will bite them in the ass when they do like this paper describes.

> I mean, of course you can just mandate sequential consistency everywhere and bloat your codegen in the process, but if you care so little about performance, why even bother with Hare? If I wanted a poorly specified, badly performing language with no concurrency support and a superficial appeal for simplicity, Python will suffice in the role.

This was not nice.
No, it absolutely did feel revolutionary.

Until then only big companies could afford a computer to manage their data and accounting, etc. Microcomputers changed that and made the hardware available to every company.

VisiCalc on the software side was the killer app that relatively normal people could learn and use to improve their business work. Spreadsheets were certainly a revolution.

On the home front, affordable microcomputers arrived and it was widely recognised that the revolution was here. Computers were the future and every parent should get one to prepare their kids (ok, sons) for it. This explains the marketing around microcomputers being for families.
And the crisis crisis, that happens when there are so many crises that it becomes a crisis.
But since any exercise you choose is going to be flawed in some way, to me it's about getting as much diversity of signal in the time you're willing to spend per candidate. For smaller orgs, 3 hours of interviews is a reasonable cap, and I find I just don't get enough signal from leetcode exercises relative to the time they generally take (in my experience as a candidate, it's been 1-2 45 minute exercises).
Bernanke, really? This has to be a joke.
This issue came back from the dead a few times; notably, the Jesuits tried (unsuccessfully, in the end) to convince the Vatican that veneration of ancestors, as practiced in China, was compatible with Christianity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Rites_controversy

(Modern Catholicism _does_ allow this, but that came much later)
Huh, WFH cull? Zuck himself works from home (or his Hawaiian island compound) half the year now and the company expanded the WFH option to the majority of employees and may even consider shrinking offices (or certainly stopping real estate expansion) and adopting hot desk policies

Exactly. Their era called for getting things done no matter how. Our era calls for iterability.
I was glad to see that most of the consumer-oriented ads in this post involved daughters using the computer. The reality was that often the new computer purchase would go in the son's room, and most ads reflected that bias as well.

Also the "decision maker" ad has a woman thinking, "It must use Baysian, weighted factor analysis and..." which is an approach back in fashion!
Willing to help, but first I 'd like to hear a bit more about your situation:

1. Have you been getting enough sleep in the past days? I did 90-hour week to finish my doctoral dissertation and much of what I did in the last days of that week was very problematic.

2. Is there some particular doubt about the project that you might have, perhaps even be suppressing in your drive to finish? It can often be wise to take time to write up these doubts. You can likely come back and review them once you are past your finish line.

3. Have the last bits of the project become unexpectedly harder and more time-consuming? This can be a sign that you need to re-evaluate your expectations about what the last steps involve.

That you've been well-motivated until recently is a very good sign. With new kinds of project, it is common for finishing off to be harder than you expect, but from the sounds of it, I think you are close to the end.
That is twisted logic to justify racist behavior.
> grinded the fuck out of leetcode

What is leetcode?
> pernicious effects of deflationary feedback loops

Serious question: were those results really put to the test? Apart from looking back at the New Deal era and getting from there whatever it's politically convenient at any one point.

Its the prize from the central bank of Sweden for bailing out banks with tax money and giving them clear sign they can leverage and risk as much as they want, if anything goes bad tax payers will have to pay for it.
