>If you read the latest Charles Goodhart's book ageing population would bring period of permanent high inflation.

That is illogical. Aging populations save more because the money needs to last throughout retirement and these old people's bodies are no longer in a state where they can enjoy spending their money. Old people also have already fulfilled most of their wishes and have gotten used to their specific standard of living.

A young society of under 20 year olds is more likely to cause inflation because every child is a pure consumer that does not produce what they consume for the first 18 years of their life. So the demand for labor is relatively high.
The issue is old people vote. If they are a majority, they’ll elect people who manage society for the short term. Of course this phenomenon of short term governance isn’t limited to the population pyramid.

One of the manifestations of the phenomenon of representatives working for the old generation where I live is housing. You see old people living in big houses for free, while the younger generation only has shared housing for crazy prices as a solution. Also with mobility: this old generation won’t let go of their cars although they move around only for leisure, but the city has become too dense for car-centric mobility. The elders don’t care, as they stay at home during peak hour.
Isn't this a common failure pattern in tech now? A big company gets
"successful" by selling cheap or free. They build a big crowd who are
accepting of poor service then inflict arbitrary decisions on their
customers, and once the abuse is normalised they spread "broken" tech
through standards-breaking and non-interoperability. People then
justify the problem because a mob of beaten-down users meekly accept
the situation and anyone asking for better is dubbed an "elitist" or
"idealist". For example, between them Google and Microsoft have
wrecked email. IPv6 doesn't look "broken" here, it's just under attack.
If I knew anything about/had an interest in starting a business, I'd probably be working on a P2P global tracking network in case anything happens to Tile/AirTag.

The stalking is real, but the tech is close to life changing for some people.
Huh, if only there could have been some kind of training that would be required to use this new system, but that would require recertification!
Isn't there a stalker detector app on Android now?
Some information can be entered automatically in Elster, e.g. the information submitted by your employer. For people with simple tax situations, e.g. regular employee and no additional complications filing the taxes is pretty straightforward. It can be a bit intimidating if you've never done it before, but almost all the information you need to fill out will be automatically provided. You need to get your bank/broker statements and enter them as well, but those tell you exactly in which line you need to put the values.

There's certainly a lot of improvement possible, but for simple cases it's pretty easy already (if you've done it at least once before).
It wasn't clear to me if this is a transparent or opaque display. For VR I agree, 22.8deg is pretty narrow but as an AR overlay you could do a lot with that. Those are two very different applications of course.
Thanks for the link. I read that they're using CNC machined pre-stressed stone panels. More details in this link https://ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/baug/ifb/i...
Totally agree. Legal obstacles to new infrastructure are probably the largest factor delaying cleantech projects: https://twitter.com/JohnArnoldFndtn/status/15852521617218805...
I used a piece of tape to achieve the same thing. Printed for a few years (yes, a rare need) after that small operation.

It's sad that manufacturers resort to these schenaningans at all.
Why are packets not routed via peers (customers of cogent) that also peer with HE, or at least peer indirectly with HE?

I am not a big fan of copyright myself, but calling being unable to use someone else's story for yourself "taking away your freedom" is a bit too much.
About the limited FOV, it can theoretically be increased up to 120◦.

From the paper:
"The implemented FOV of the wearable prototype was 22.8◦ diagonal, which is far smaller than commercially available VR/AR displays. However, the FOV was mainly limited by the size of the available SLM and the focal length of the GP lens, both of which could be improved with different components. For example, the focal length can be halved without significantly
increasing the total thickness by stacking two identical GP lenses and a circular polarizer [Moon et al. 2020]. With a 2-inch SLM and a 15 mm focal length GP lens, we could achieve a monocular FOV of up to 120◦"
We’re actually looking to support Zig as an authoring language for user generated content for Third Room - the spatial collaboration platform for Matrix. Not sure this would be a killer app like a Matrix server or gateway or something, but could help a bunch. https://thenewstack.io/third-room-teases-user-generated-cont... has more details.
The limit is for a single transaction, not for your entire life.

If they can freeze your money in the bank, they can also freeze the cash you keep stashed in your room.

paranoia is stupid.

I am all in favour for protester not living tracks, it doesn't involve money transactions over 10k in cash though. I don't see how the two things relate.
For what it's worth, I think it's also possible that the models stall as the Internet is filled with more and more generated content, and they're unable to distinguish between generated and authentic content and eat their own tails. It won't actually stop them from existing and generating content but it could make training them very expensive, as you might have to commission your training set instead of harvesting it.

Perhaps we'll place more of an emphasis on real world interactions. Who knows.

I'm concerned but I don't think it will be a total loss of reality. But I can't rule it out of course.
Why? You fail to mention your assumptions about Luxembourg judges that underlie the "plausibility" and "unsurprisingness" of this outcome. Can you maybe share your argument with the curious reader?
ChatGPT is trained using a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning. For supervised learning, it is trained on a large dataset of human-generated text, such as dialogue data or online conversations. This allows it to learn the structure and style of natural language. For unsupervised learning, it is trained using a language modeling objective, which involves predicting the next word in a sequence of text. This allows it to learn the broader patterns and characteristics of language, and to generate text that is fluent and coherent.

ChatGPT and GPT-3 are both large language models trained by OpenAI, but they have some important differences. GPT-3 is a more general-purpose language model, which means it is trained on a broader range of data and can generate a wider range of responses. It is also much larger than ChatGPT, with 175 billion parameters compared to ChatGPT's 2.6 billion parameters. This makes GPT-3 more powerful and capable of generating more realistic and diverse text, but also makes it more expensive and resource-intensive to use.

In case you are curious, the above information was written entirely by ChatGPT when asking it about itself.
I think unspoken is how intentionally isolating VR is of your real world surroundings. It only takes me 30 seconds to get booted up into VR but there is a mental block that makes it seem like a much bigger undertaking, and I think that is due to it being mentally similar to going to an entirely different place.
> But yes also including the recent revelations about how it was handled internally.

Can you point to some examples where one side (I'm assuming you mean Democrats) were handled favourably and the other not favourably? Outside of ToS violations, obviously.

re: implementation bugs: Almost, but not quite. See https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/#anticipated-questio...

Also note that in the review of the ecosystem the Matrix developers, i.e you :), also discovered further clients vulnerable to variants of attack #3 and assigned CVE-2022-39252, CVE-2022-39254 and CVE-2022-39264.

While I'm here, yep those seem fixed also as far as we can tell: https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/#remediesfixes
> They suppressed Trump’s account before the election…

If by "suppressed" you mean "suspended for repeated violations of ToS even though they'd protected him for months by saying he was POTUS and therefore newsworthy and should be granted much more leeway than other accounts", sure.
Astounding wave clouds surge over Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains
The foreign conception of Germany as a paragon of effectiveness always did sound weird to me. The whole political system is set up to require broad consensus to move anything forward. That makes it really difficult to get any meaningful change out of that political system, unless there is a real, tangible pain that is felt throughout most of society. On the other hand, it should be noted that this approach has important positive effects.
Pretty much every large-scale renewables project in Germany is blocked by this bullshit. I don't believe in environmentalists anymore. They're the biggest blockers to actual progress in combating things like climate change.
I just don't think deep domain expertise makes you a better recruiter. You need to have deep domain expertise in recruiting with all its facets. Then, you need a working knowledge of the domain you are recruiting for.

Having a little experience coding is definitely a good thing if you are recruting software engineers. However, you don't need to be able to build a distributed system using AWS.

A good recruiter only recruits for a specific horizontal or vertical niche and knows enough about that domain to talk.

One way to extract value from that chain for an engineer would be, to offer tech consulting/teaching to recruiters.
ISPs don't want this. They want to upsell you to a business service if you want a static IP. They'll just use dynamic IP allocation aka DHCP to make the whole thing really inconvenient.
I observe that it depends on which quality you aim to. At low quality AVIF does a good job with line drawings. I suspect much of it is because of the 8-color local palette mode. When you raise the quality/size a tiny bit (to need 9+ unique colors in an area), JPEG XL does an equal job with the edges, but starts getting all the subtleties, lonely faint dots, noisy or weak textures right, whereas it can be impossible to convince an AVIF encoder to store them at any quality setting.

Cartoon/anime collectors seem to be passionate about image quality and they may have observed the same as I have. At least I have learned a lot about image quality from anime fans during my image compression career.

Web devs don't care that much about quality, they are more looking into creating monetary savings in bandwidth and sometimes trying to lower the latencies. E-commerce is yet another thing, where the image quality may turn into revenue and becomes important again.

Your personal devices are already linked to your name.

Do you really believe you are anonymous?

SIM cards are not, for example, since forever here in Europe.

warranty certificates must contain all your personal data to be valid.

You would renounce to free 2 years warranty only to pay cash?

Why?

what's the deal with that laptop, what's the reason to keep it secret?

Suddenly your secrecy it's much more interesting for the shop owner than you paying with a bank transfer or credit card like any other person would do and not raise any suspicion.

If I was them I would alert someone, in case you'd do something illegal with it, just to be on the safe side.

See? even if you are a criminal using cash just for the sake of using cash it's stupid.

Most shops don't even accept large amount of money in cash, it's dangerous for them and costs them a lot more to handle and keep safe.

even many bank offices or postal office don't keep cash to avoid being robbed. It's for employees safety.

I don’t care VCs holding the bags, but I do care about the retail “investors” that were naive. (I don’t care about the hfsp bros).

In a few years we will look back at the crypto space and we wonder why nobody intervened like nobody intervened with Madoff, despite multiple people warning about him.

The damage the crypto space has caused is just beyond redemption. To both people and the environment.

It’s time that this stuff is regulated to death. It will also kill the crypto ransom ware pipeline because of a lack of on/off ramps.
It's "damn cheap" because it's being subsidized heavily by US taxpayers.

Noone is forcing you to accept anything. If else the girl and parents had to make that decision and accept the risks. They would probably had to sign a legal document as well. Maybe you need to chill out of the conspiracy mindset.
“The wave clouds were crafted by a phenomenon known as Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which occurs as a result of differences in air density in adjacent layers of the sky”

Your ISP does not want to route other people's traffic for them, only its customers. So it doesn't broadcast a route for arbitrary destinations through its AS.

Cell Broadcast is part of GSM since 1995. It's the phone manufacturers' fault that it doesn't work properly. Other countries have been using it for years now.

I can't follow your comment, apart from seeing that you're outraged about the situation.

It's a global world. If someone else is willing to pay more for the energy than us, we should sell it to them and use the money we earn to buy the things we value more, things we're willing to pay more for.

Yea that would do it for me haha. My bread and butter is embedded C! Technically it's C++ but we try to ease off the ridiculous C++isms because this stuff needs to be readable to the person that was waken up with a phone call at 3am and needs to explain some random behavior lol.

I've never done anything spectacularly fancy with CLI terminals. I could rig up a UI with c++ and qt, or python and tkinter.. but it's been a while. Longer ago, I used to do objc but that was forever ago!

I was thinking ministry of silly walks and how many of those to implement in my routines.
Well, to be fair, I liked the way it was done. It was loud and dragged attention immediately - I'm pretty sure if it was an SMS I wouldn't even notice for hours. The only drawback is that once you acknowledge the alarm, it's gone, there is no place to read it again.
“Gravitationally only interacting dark matter” is sort of synonymous with “non-homogeneous spacetime”, or am I missing something?

I understand the basic idea of predicting the words in a sequence, but what totally eludes me is how this relates to the prompt. After all, you don't give it a sequence to continue, you give it a direct request. Is there some special processing going on here or do they really just take the prompt as is and encode it?
>Paragon of virtue is elsewhere.

Genuinely curious which countries HN users think are actually paragons of virtue.

Multiple times, I've had the experience of thinking a country is a paragon of virtue, then finding a thread here or on reddit full of people from that country complaining about it...

Seems like Singapore, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Finland, and the Netherlands are the "paragon of virtue" countries people complain about the least.
The only real value it has beyond speculation is bypassing sanctions, buying drugs and sending money abroad. The speculation has really gone majorly overboard lately. Honestly the Chinese government are looking quite wise in retrospect for banning crypto.

I have 10-year-old Brother MFC-9970CDW, purchased June 12, 2012. Replaced a couple of toner cartridges over the years, and that's it. Still going strong.
In small methods I tend to use shorter names, even very short non-descriptive names, because there is less context so less chance of confusion, and it makes it easier to see what's going on in a glimpse (and check it matches method name).

On the other hand, if some public method does multiple things that need to be known to decide where it can be called, I put them all in its name.
Glad they found those vulns but I imagine one could fetch a lot more on less legitimate markets.

But they’re not because they need the paycheck.

You’re fooling yourself to think the fruits of automated labor will not end up simply laying them off with basically no other benefits than the general population: slightly cheaper air travel (if nobody else gobbles up the differential).

In the end excessive automation it’s a bad proposition for labor in general.
One is painful. One isn’t.
The future is unevenly distributed.
Can also vouch for Brother. I have their J5330DW color inkjet. Everything works very solidly and I can replace all 4 cartridges (CMYK) separately. Depending on how much I print, that’s about €90 in ink per year.

Not disagreeing, but purely for interest, Redis contains a queue-like primitive.

https://redis.io/docs/data-types/streams/

You can make good job queues out of this, combined with sharding or consistent hashing, for low(ish) latency applications. Each shard has a stream, they operate on data stored in Redis, and you pass them the key to this data over their stream.

But SQS is great, and a great rebuttal to the article. Totally easier to prototype a job queue that way than with pg, and you probably won't need to move off of it.

On the other hand, if the yearly amount is so small, a service (a single dedicated human) to fix/reset/correct those issues should be affordable by Google.

This is not specific about Google, a lot of services/apps/whatever like (and it is probably true) to state how they are in practice error-free, at least with account management, yet when this extremely rare event happens there are no (or extremely complex) ways to fix the problem, short of posting to HN or to a social and hope that some good soul working at that company notices the issue and decides to solve it.
