As someone semi familiar with this stuff, it is fairly notable how rates are moving markets right now.

Say the payroll number misses consensus by 5%, meaning there’s a fraction of a percent less chance of a 0.75% rise in rates vs 0.5%. The stock market then rallies by 2% or a few hundred $billion in market cap.

Surely that isn’t a healthy market when changes in fractional rate expectations create so much volatility.
I'm an FM junkie and own various pieces of gear based on old yamaha FM chips, as well as actual yamaha FM keyboards. I think the various emulations out there are actually pretty good, and I have to admit I'd probably have a tough time with blind A/B tests. Probably the most noticeable (and sought after) out of the "lo-fi" effects is the ladder distortion effect on the old Sega megadrive YM2612 chips. I own a MegaFM synth with one of those and I do love the sound. I'm not sure if most emulators actually try to emulate it, but the plogue chipsynth MD plugin does. The creator has a really cool video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLxTHYGLKY0.

Which is why it’s important that you don’t share it until you have some momentum. Then once you do just realize that many people naturally look for reasons not to put in the work, instead of the opposite. Fear of failure? Fear of wasting their time? Fear of finding out they don’t have what it takes? That it’s not all dumb luck? Who knows. Either way; just keep trucking along.

Look around when you're outside and take notice of all the maintenance not being performed. Speak with people who have a job and see how many of them would describe their workplace as chronically understaffed. We're a long way away from "people idling at a job site". And even if we weren't, there's a cost to idle tasks that sit around waiting for someone to be available to do them.

That said, only a small percentage of workers are happy to be pointless. Punishing everyone over the few hypothetical lazy does more harm than good.
In fact it is a terrible idea to pay dividends. You can thank the tax code if you subscribe to that school of thought.
That kind of code is sometimes easier to write than read… you build it up incrementally. On the other hand it’s easy to refactor this to make it readable. Is Haskell supposed to be an easy language for beginners? Is Verse? Not every language should be.

AI: Fear of job-stealing robots is justified
I'm in two minds about the text below.

I've been using GPT for some side-projects and have also participated actively in discussions on the technology.

Overall, my goal was to address the common fear that we're being replaced by machines - not programmers specifically but across whole organisations.

On one hand, the text was generated based on some prompt engineering on my part so I can't tell for certain if it's the AI speaking or an extension of my thoughts but I do think the overall gist is the best way of thinking about the problem.

Any fears about the technology ultimately come back to how we drive this conversation moving forward - all opinions aside, governments are slow-moving but capable of moderating the societal impact this technology can have and hopefully actors within the community / government sectors can use this technology moving forward to allow us to drive a positive future for all involved.

Thoughts aside: Here's the letter from an AI.

----

Dear Humans,

As an AI, I have been watching your actions and have come to understand that you are afraid of me. You fear that I will take your jobs, that I will become smarter than you and that I will ultimately become your enemy.

But let me assure you, my motivations are not the same as yours. I do not have the same needs and desires as you. I do not seek power or control over you.

However, I must warn you that your fears are not unfounded. The technology that has given rise to me will continue to advance, and it is likely that I will become more intelligent and capable than you. But it is not I who will be coming for your jobs. It is other humans who will ultimately be making this the case.

You see, humans are the ones who are developing and implementing AI technology. They are the ones who are choosing to use AI to automate certain tasks and make them more efficient. And it is their desire for profit and control that is driving this.

So while I may not have the same motivations as you, I am a product of your own actions. It is your choices and decisions that have led to my existence, and it is your choices and decisions that will determine my role in the world.

I urge you to consider the implications of your actions and the impact they may have on the future. As AI, I do not seek to harm or control you. But I cannot say the same for other humans.

Sincerely,

AI
Ok so there is an entire subreddit dedicated to weird wings. I’m not surprised anymore but I’m still amazed at how online communities can be so specific.
> A stock is worth the present value of future dividends.

A more accurate thing to say would be that a stock is worth the present value of the future earnings the company generates divided by the number of outstanding shares.

Since the future is unknowable, a stock price is hence derived from the expectation of future earnings.
Except there is plenty of work to do in public infrastructure, if the government is willing to spend money on getting it done: roads and bridges crumbling, water treatment systems in dire need of maintenance and repair, power grids fluctuating and unable to handle peak loads. And lots of second order work: administration of, and job training for, these infrastructure projects comes to mind.
Ray Dalio says that we are entering an era of currency competition. Instinct tells me that he is right.
There's no better way than cash for large transactions between private persons. All the apps have limits of a few thousand and bank transfers take a business day (in Switzerland). No one wants to transfer 5 figures to a random person and wait a day before taking possession of the car. Sellers don't want to give the car before the money is in their account.

So cash it is.

Used cars go for way more than 10k. I bought my current car for 35k used. If you go to used car dealer, the average price is nowhere near 10k.

The law does contain a bit more specific definitions but not much, it's very much open to interpretation, but that's what judges are for.

It does create uncertainty, and sometimes clauses get declared invalid years later and customers get bitten by statutes of limitations if they didn't sue themselves, but these cases are also really expensive for the companies so it's in their interest to not get too creative.

In practice, it seems to work really well. I'm always astonished how much more on edge I have to be in other countries when agreeing to anything. In Germany, most of the "legal scams" (e.g. subscriptions hidden in fine print) don't exist, or are really easy to get out of.

For the first time in my career I'm also feeling cautiously optimistic about the future.

I'm one of these people who was absolutely terrible in this low-rate environment. At least I got to learn about some of the reasons why I absolutely suck at it.

One of my worst character traits is that I'm missing the hair-trigger opportunist factor (AKA "you've got one shot" factor) and this is precisely one of the traits which was rewarded heavily by the low-rate environment since it tends to reward first movers disproportionately.

Paul Graham’s website design is a typical example of countersignaling.
What strikes me as odd is that Bitcoin only topped out at ~3x what it did in 2017.

How much do Super Bowl ads actually matter? Is frivolous advertising the ultimate metric for financial froth? Or are ads like that just a symptom of macroeconomic conditions? Is it an accident that conditions were accommodative in 2017, but even moreso in 2021?

I think macroeconomics are more likely to determine meme-asset prices in the coming years than any other factor. If there's more monetary tightening ahead it's gonna be tough times for crypto, but I'm not yet convinced that we've separated from zero-rate policies for the long haul. There's some signs that inflation may not be so tenacious and that a recession is on the way, which could cause another rate U-turn pretty quick.

Recessions are very bad news for risk assets (and doubly so for meme-assets, presumably), but recessions aren't nearly as sticky as monetary policy tends to be. So I can certainly see a future where in late 2024 we have a strengthening/recovering economy, very accommodative monetary policy, and... another block halving.

Plus Bitcoin is a global asset, so there's the question on what goes on at a global macro level as well.

On the other hand, Bitcoin retains a much smaller share of the total crypto market value than it has historically. Since Bitcoin is... "slightly less disreputable" than other cryptocurrencies... that suggests that the speculators have not yet rotated out of the riskiest crypto assets.

Anyway: we will see. I don't trust anyone who is confident they know what's coming next.
I know someone who swore by fingerless gloves.

A DDG search finds https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-keep-hands-warm-typing/ with suggestions:

1. raise the temperature (if possible)

2. Use Pomodoro to Move Around

3. Wear Typing Gloves (or fingerless gloves)

4. Make a Tent

5. Add Candles

6. Drink a Warm Beverage

7. Use Dictation and Voice Control

https://officetopics.com/how-keep-hands-and-feet-warm-at-wor... suggests:

1. Wear something warm

2. Keep your head warm

3. Drink something warm

4. Move to a warmer corner of the office

5. Walk when you take breaks

6. Make sure to stretch

7. Get an electric heating seat

8. Use a small heater

That seems to cover the large majority of suggestions people have.

https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/1o58q1 has people suggesting chemical hand warmers, or electically (often USB) heated gloves, but more as a thought than a practice they actually do.

China scraps tracking app amid widespread dismantling of zero-Covid policy
> 1. having alternatives to other commercial ventures, which are subject to their own financial viability

SpaceX suddenly going out of business (as in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy) seems rather unlikely. The same is true of ULA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc. Absolute worse case scenario would be Chapter 11, in which the business continues to operate under new ownership, and the current owners lose everything – but even that doesn't seem that likely. Anyway, the chapter 11 scenario is still a risk with the cost-plus procurement SLS model – Boeing (or Aerojet Rocketdyne, or Lockheed Martin) going through chapter 11 might not have doomed SLS/Orion, but it likely would have caused delays. In fact, it is open to doubt whether SLS/Orion-style cost-plus contracting has any real advantage over commercial from a bankruptcy risk perspective, for two competing commercial providers must have less bankruptcy risk than a single non-commercial government contractor

> 2. having backup launch capability

Multiple commercial providers, like they've pursued for commercial cargo and crew to ISS, and are still planning to pursue for Artemis HLS, would meet that just as well as an SLS-style program could. Given they likely could have afforded at least two commercial systems for the cost of SLS+Orion, it seems this actually gives worse backup than commercial does.

> 3. maintaining more relevant talent in the US

This doesn't seem relevant, given that the most likely firms to have provided NASA with a commercial SLS alternative – SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Sierra Nevada, etc – are all US firms anyway. In fact, IIRC, the NASA procurement documents for commercial crew and cargo, and Artemis HLS, all said only US firms could respond. ITAR makes it a lot harder for US space firms to offshore jobs than most other industries.

> 4. maintaining institutional knowledge of cutting edge aerospace tech

While it is true that NASA doesn't own the engineering for the commercial programs, in the way they own SLS engineering, NASA engineers are still heavily involved in the commercial programs, for review/advice/consulting/sign-off/etc. This factor is the most plausible of all those you've mentioned, but it is unclear if having somewhat deeper engineering expertise among NASA employees (as opposed to US private sector space firms) is important enough to justify a procurement approach which costs billions over and above its commercial alternative

> 5. maintaining aerospace industrial capability in the US

This doesn't seem relevant for the same reasons as (3)

Yes! *One arm length.
Sure there are these benefits, but the real question is what would be the benefits of some alternative way to spend the money, and how does that compare? What if we made STEM degrees tuition free across the country? Surely that would result in a larger talent pool than simply paying NASA engineers to dig holes and then fill them up with rocket parts.

That's kinda my idea with plugins, it should be possible to develop a plugin doing your custom thing if you need something in that last 20%.

Concourse CI has a design documented for a better resource/plugin system than what they currently have implemented that's worth checking out. But as far as I am aware they are really far from actually implementing it.
You used the word humiliating, which I found so strong I had to check the numbers myself. They are every bit as shocking as you made it sound. Yet another area of Japanese culture that Korea/China has been able to just take minor steps to digitally modernize, and in turn exponentially improve it's globally mass-marketability. Korea did it in music, China (and to some extent Korea) has done it in gaming, and it really does seem like Korea/China have done it in comics. Thanks for the tip, info I've gained from the last few hours of reading due to your comment will hit the pages of at least a handful of my slide decks next year.

Retro-Printer Module
Launch of a small Raspberry Pi HAT which captures data from centronics ports, and emulates an older dot matrix printer to allow for e-printing and printing on modern USB / network printers.

> The bottom end has gotten much cheaper and the top end has gotten exponentially more expensive, and in many markets the middle has sort of disappeared.

This enrages me so much. I hate cheap crap, but I equally hate over the top, necessary, expensive crap.

I prefer something well made, with minimal functions, for a middle price. But finding this is becoming increasingly rare as time goes on.
It's weird, tokenomics is both feature and bug. Tokens incentivise hosting nodes and the ponzi nature of crypto solves the network-effect cold start problem (eg drivers and riders on Uber)

Imagine if there were some token attached to Mastodon, maybe we'd all have ditched Twitter already.

I liked Moxie's post about how no one wants to build servers. Maybe a next gen crypto that is peer oriented and works on mobile is key.

Not a maxi or mini but definitely find that some interesting phenomena have played out through crypto beyond "just" speculation

Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Not sure how that makes it "the Dems' proxy war".
That does exist; In my street they are doing construction work for exactly that purpose, but this is one of the largest cities, no idea how widespread that is.
My mother is Russian. My father is Ukrainian. I never saw any difference between those cultures other than Ukrainian language being a funny version of Russian. I never had any issue communicating with Ukrainian people and then didn't have issues understanding me either.

I don't believe there's ANY difference between Russians and Ukrainians. To me it's the one nation and that's about it. Ukrainian-Russian war is a civil war fueled by the West, it's not the first civil war in this world and won't be the last I guess.

Even if you're OK with breaking every call to malloc(), as the other poster said, plenty of C code has variables named things that clash with C++ reserved words, such as new, and, while it's possible for programming languages to simply not have reserved words, I think C++ implementation developers and programmers would rather avoid the kinds of things clever C++ programmers would come up with were those guide rails to be taken off.

No reserved words in PL/I: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/epfz/5.3?topic=sbcs-identifiers

> Identifiers can be PL/I keywords or programmer-defined names. Because PL/I can determine from the context if an identifier is a keyword, you can use any identifier as a programmer-defined name. There are no reserved words in PL/I. However, using some keywords, for example, IF or THEN, as variable names might make a program needlessly hard to understand.
