Yeah? Well, I don't know about the regret of it, I can say that not everyone's salary is growing in a way that matches their rent, medical, and general basic expenses. In fact, the national reports on rent growth and housing costs are devastating to the average person from a financial perspective. It is bad in every possible way, and with interest rates up, people without substantial cash can't even qualify to buy. In areas that haven't experienced the housing prices going down yet, there isn't any inventory.

I don't think punishing FTX and zombie companies is a good trade-off for the overall effect on the standard of living of the average person. Wealthy and generally smart or connected people saw this coming in late 2021 when there started to be big dips in the market; no, not in the "a broken clock always strikes twice" sort of way, but in the "there's something fundamentally hosed here, let's cash out" sense.

Wealth inequality can only get worse from here - it's mostly just separated in terms of who still rents versus who owns and collects rent.
This needs to be at the top.
If you locked in a 3% or under interest rate for 30 years it’s literally illogical to pay off your mortgage. That money would be better put to use in another investment or holding cash in a HYSA that yields over 3%.

The sub 5-6% interest rates were a result of the housing crash. Prior to 2008/2009 the rates were pretty much where they are now.

No one can for sure tell if we’ll ever see rates so low again.

Cheap/low interest debt is good when compare to inflation.
It is commonly agreed that the marginal cost of software is $0.

And yet, for some reason, a large part of the software that we use, is, well, not great.

I don't think that we're not making better/faster software because of some economical reason.

I think that, sadly, we're not collectively able to do better, even if we wanted.

It is the same with all complex cultural products, the marginal cost of a book is also close to zero, and yet we're not collectively producing that much great literature...
If Meta manage to deliver what they demoed in a consumer product, they have a path to owning a widely used platform and to lasting relevance.

TCL?
Maybe a mainstream book debunking crypto would be a valuable contribution. In the past week many people have said "Why didn't anyone warn me about FTX?" There have been tons of warnings of course, but they came from places like Dirty Bubble Media that don't exactly have the Hollywood cachet of Michael Lewis. Maybe this time the message will get through.

(Or maybe it will be like War Dogs, pitching SBF as a lovable and quirky guy who somehow ended up on the wrong side of the law.)

Another issue I didn't see addressed in the article is the anti-aliasing filters on digital cameras. The filters are installed to mitigate Moire when shooting scenes with high frequency (sharp) straight lines

They don't blur like a gaussian filter, they have two separate plates, one that spreads light horizontally and the other vertically, ideally by about 1.0 pixel radius in each direction. This results in "square-like" artifacts, especially if the filters spread by more than 1.5 pixels.

The artifacts are most noticeable in astronomy where there is a dramatic difference between the appearance of star fields with and without anti-aliasing filters.

I don't know how this effect works against film simulation but it probably doesn't help. If they are going to start with Gaussian blur anyway, then using a camera with the antis-aliasing filters removed might help.
IHK is responsible for local advertising and recruiting and acts as a middle agency beween government and industry.

They give sometimes interesting talks and you can reach out for assistance. Not much to complain about for the price imho.

Just because you don't need it on your own doesn't mean other founders or existing companies don't need it.

With the foundation of a company you have some obligations and this one is one of those - strengthening the local market. (If you can't afford 150€ or 0,129% percent of your profit your business is not sustainable (referring to your value question)).
MIT code doesn’t even need to be relicensed, technically. So it can be left in as-is.

> > What if we could also vectorize 2D <canvas> elements controlled by JavaScript? […]

> I'm very surprised to hear this. So printing, either to PDF or to actual printers, may reveal more information about what was drawn to the canvas than normal display, especially if no effort has been made to remove overdrawn paint records. That can have an interesting, if only hypothetical, consequence...

The canvas API is all imperative code, so you might think it’s fairly opaque. That’s what I thought anyway, until recently I hacked on a someone’s generated art demo, mostly to glean insights into the algorithms used. As I looked through the actual canvas-specific code, it struck me that 1) it’s exceedingly statically analyzable and 2) that the imperative APIs could trivially translate to an incremental SVG rendering, because their primitives are nearly identical apart from the imperative/declarative distinction.

Mentioning this mainly because if there’s anything interesting to learn about a particular usage of canvas, it would probably not be a huge investment to learn it. Either by static analysis or by rendering canvas calls incrementally to SVG, anything overdrawn or obscured is sitting right there to inspect without any special browser-internal faculties.
It's an interesting point because in Japan, men, especially in Tokyo, Osaka, are much more ok with being a effeminate in a way I don't think was always the case. Also being lazy, not really wanting to exercise etc is almost "cool".

Japan also has an insanely low birth rate.
>It's amazing he was able to get this funded at a time it was fairly obvious from their product roadmap and language that Apple was going to release ARM Macs

It's easy to forget, but a lot of people were rubbishing the idea of ARM Macs as a viable replacement for Intel until it actually happened.
I'm in the Intel syntax camp, pretty thoroughly. I use other assemblers, too, and the Intel syntax is a lot more similar to ARM, RISC-V, and assemblies used by DSPs (which are surprisingly C-like). The order of operations, the order of comparisons, the addressing syntax, and the lack of spurious wingdings characters all make it easier to read and write.

The one thing AT&T syntax has going for it is the "strong typing" of operand widths: `addl` is slightly more readable than `add` + operand-inferred width.

If you want the C preprocessor, you can have it with Intel syntax too (gas can use either), but I think the preprocessing syntax designed for assembly is cleaner with assembly code, and some of those preprocessors are surprisingly powerful.
Seems like a really odd question. What would ratings 2 through 5 even mean?
The most effective technique I have used is also the simplest. I came across it reading about how trauma affects the body. Under stress we tend to exhale more forcefully in short outward breaths, so when exhalation is quicker than inhalation the body responds accordingly. This means we can get a beneficial response if exhalation is longer than inhalation.

So the technique is to inhale at whatever pace feels comfortable, counting if that helps, and then exhale a little longer. It soon becomes natural enough that no counting is necessary and you can think about whatever pleasant associations work.
> Nothing further from truth.

Agreed.

> What changed is how companies react ... Companies learned that ... Companies also learned ...

Also all wrong, though.

Nothing has changed.

> My experience is also that large proportion of hires can barely program at all ...

And that won't change either. Hiring anyone with a pulse started in the late 90s and 2008 didn't interrupt that. Those will be the people who are likely to lose their jobs in the coming recession, but hiring will expand again afterwards.

This is just another layoff cycle. People are projecting weird myths about how they think things should change onto companies when there's zero evidence that they've fundamentally changed or learned anything.

Sociologically it is weird how we haven't had a recession since 2008 and all the kids who either don't remember or barely remember that one are projecting all kinds of fundamental shifts onto the next one.

I'm pretty sure the dust from the 2 BILLION TONNES of steel the world makes every year, or the 32 TO 50 BILLION TONNES of sand and gravel that are mined globally every year, will be just a tad more serious of a problem.

But I know, that dust is off in mines and mills, while PV recycling will be performed in preschools.
Calls to mind the Shelley poem Ozymandias (about Ramses II):

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
>Corporate fraud never leads to meaningful punishment of the executives and they often make a profit even after "punishment".

No, this is a meme that needs to die. Please link examples where profits from a specific activity did not outsize the profit from that activity.

People get confused when some international massive company made a profit overall after some big fine and think the illegal thing was therefore profitable. This is never the case and the fines drastically exceed the profit from the specific activity (every country levying fines structures them explicitly this way).

BP absolutely did not make a profit on the deep water horizon.

>all fossil fuel using companies are participating in this exercise in real-time today

Red herring in a discussion about fraud. This is purely because governments don’t charge for CO2 (quite bafflingly).

>Corporate fraud never leads to meaningful punishment of the executives

Enron, Madoff, Theranos, Worldcom, Tyco, Qwest, Rite Aid… the list goes on.
> when folks complain about jira, ~99% of the time, it's a complaint about the process and people

Not exactly. Most of the time, when people complain about JIRA they are complaining about its complexity, which gets exacerbated by PM's attempts to customize the system to their own liking, turning it into spaghetti. Even when the actual intended process is fine. That, and the slowness, subpar UI and arcane permissions system.
That's why I said digital noise. If you're using randomness to generate something that emulates film grain then by definition it's not noise, it's a procedurally generated texture.

The point was that many editing tools offer noise generation that works at a pixel level. The author was explaining why those are unsuitable for the task. That doesn't make it nonsense.
Sweet, very nice.

I made a 'skyfield' widget for home assistant that shows the current position of the sun, moon and some planets as well as the summer and winter solstice paths. I really think it would be awesome for an e-ink display in the home. I've been planning to kick off that project at some point. This is inspiring.

Not much use for it. Lying on table. When I am on table, good for streaming.

For browsing in places other than iPad’s table, I still use my phone since it’s lighter.

All these devices need batteries. I can keep track of charging a laptop and a phone. The other devices either have to remain plugged in, or when I need them, have to be charged from zero, which is a bummer.

That is not what I experience. The thing I refer to when I refer to "flow" or being "plugged in" or "in the zone" is that all of the relevant paradigms and information are in my working memory.

When I'm in a flow state, I see and understand not only the function in front of me, but the functions it calls, the functions that call it, and the data structures involved. I can see the tree in minute detail at the same time I can see exactly how it fits into the ecosystem of the forest.

It isn't that I'm not thinking hard. It's that thinking hard is possible, rather than interrupted by a constant need to regain context.

AFAIK the strength of German SMBs is often overstated. When you look at what's been driving economic growth, it's mostly been creating new, large companies like Google and Amazon. Germany used to be good at doing that: SAP, VW, many others. But not for the past 20-30 years. Why? Because establishing a new large enterprise is most readily done by inventing a new sector of the industry. But Germany's (and Europe's) regulation regime, risk aversion and slow processes prevent that from happening. Maybe Google couldn't have been German, but Deepmind could have been.

But it's hard creating something new, when new technologies are banned by default and you are required to file tons of paperwork before doing anything. And it's also hard when the type of people who form startups are not moving to Germany, because they can start a company in the UK or Israel with 20 pounds by filling out an online form in 5 minutes.
>In capitalism, attempts to change the status quo are always met with "but this will hurt profits!"

This is laughably stupid. The entire point of capitalism is to constantly disrupt the status quo of competitors to eat their margin.

What you’re describing is some state run capitalism or state guaranteed monopolies where the only possible disruption could come from the government.

A couple of years ago I lived for half a year in Pattaya, Thailand and it seems these kinds of therapies were advertised everywhere. I was thinking perhaps here in Thailand these therapies might be used by people that don't really need it, perhaps to gain more muscle mass or such.

The classic argument, if you can’t pay XXX$ for some bullshit someone else invented and that doesn’t belong in 21st century, then you’re business is not sustainable. IHKs exist for the sole purpose of lining their fat pockets on other people’s hard work, like other professions in Germany, notary included.

Then they should be free to hire them on their own dime.

The cringe-iest thing about this is the attempt to spin Lewis' role in this as a spectator for the collapse, when the fact that he was "embedded" there for 6 months indicates that he was preparing a story to boost this whole fiasco. That's passingly corroborated by the ludicrous Sequoia piece about SBF, which noted Lewis' presence. Well, that and the whole "Star Wars" thing.

I grew up near a few of these. Well, they were far apart from each other, but along the same highway. When I was a child, I was pretty amazed at how narrow yet tall they are.

I just looked them up on Google Maps, and they're still there. Fewer dishes on the main one (I only call it main because it's where a minor and a major highway join, and it has a mini-me tower beside it, where the other ones don't), and still appearing quite active.

Definitely a good reminder to use a secure passcode for your phone. (And to definitely avoid the 4-digit pincode.)

I suppose realistically since your phone is almost always the "second factor" in 2FA, if your phone is stolen+compromised you're completely screwed. Do there exist 2FA solutions that don't become 1FA if it's just your phone?

He can relicense everything except the code from those patches, while keeping that code under the MIT license. He will be required to preserve the MIT copyright notice and license text, and if he wanted to initiate a copyright lawsuit he would have to exclude those bits from what he's suing over, but otherwise there's no problem. GPL-family licenses have a stronger need for "any later version" than permissive licenses, since the virality rule means you can't just combine code under different GPL licenses in the same program.

(Technically, the MIT license also grants the right to sublicense, so he actually could change the license, but only if the new license incorporated the MIT license's attribution requirement. Probably. The license is vague and I'm not a lawyer.)

> But it's not a bait and switch because we don't have a right to his future work under whatever license we like. Imagine the developer was hit by a bus right now, or became a cloistered monk. Same difference.

If he takes people's donation money with the implicit or explicit promise that he's going to make a good-faith effort to continue working on the code, he has a moral obligation to do that IMO. Getting hit by a bus wouldn't be his fault, but choosing to abandon it to become a monk would be.
Fwiw, my definition of conservative in this case is someone with views traditionally in line with the Republican and Libertarian platform. Someone who tends to vote Republican and tends to view things through that lens.

I think your goal is to attack the person and and not the idea, which has nothing to do with my experience-based opinion that it's more nuanced than "dominated by liberals".
A rating inherently claims understanding though. Is a bridge safe to walk on? Some guy who doesn't understand engineering is putting signs on it rating its safety. Ignorance is not a defense at this point.

They did sue the banks. For many things including inflated appraisals of the loans.

I'm sure they have some kind of warning for everything that isn't FDIC insured. But misrepresenting high risk as low risk instead of zero risk is just a quantitative difference. There are plenty of scams that do this. for example just lying about a company's earnings. I suppose the precise crimes they charge them for may differ a bit.
