I think there's a point where you need to accept that you should use a fan forced oven. Air Fryers are literally a small fan forced oven in terms of tech.

The fast heating is due to the size. A fan forced oven is the same tech but slower due to being larger. Nothing more.

So if you are buying a large air fryer that's essentially a fan forced oven i have to ask "why not use the oven?".
Depends on the metric and what you mean by growth per se.

If no physical object is involved but rather just changes or reconfiguration of the - let's say - human brain, in the end, all possible states are limited by the (overall) entropy of our universe. If multiverses turned out to be accessible (i.e. empirical objects) then according to our current understanding there seems to be no limit.

The closest limit isn't "economical" but much more "biological"/"societal". If we destroy the livelihood of our species before understanding/appreciating it - let alone transcending it fully (which some folks claim to be right around the corner) - we are just another failed (alien) civilisation who couldn't get past the threshold.

The mathematical "exponential" part isn't the isolated problem but in combination with our limited understanding; flawed evaluation and the gross deficiencies in our current social structures (institutions, governments, bureaucracies, corporations, distribution of resources, conflicts of interests, "war" ...). The current economical incentives are just a reflection of that.
Great feedback! We will think about this and perhaps do some testing around this language with our audience.

Your trust point is valid but needs tweaking: You need to trust someone with your money if you want to buy at an exchange. Although exchanges are the most convenient way to right now, they are not the only way. Peer-to-peer is always an option; you can trade with someone directly, or even do work and get paid directly in e.g. Ethereum.

But even if exchanges were the only way, that trust time is quite minimized, compared to the status quo.

To your second point, I agree it has to do with convenience. IMO the main reason is crypto UX is still very bad. The space is going to need some major new hardware and software solutions before going anywhere near mainstream.
I bought a 30x magnifying glass with LED lighting for $16 on Amazon. I didn't know I needed it but I now use it daily.

I find the magnifier super handy to grab for reading tiny print on things like USB chargers. My reading glasses don't help in such cases even if I happen to be wearing them. I have 40x one too put it's more like jeweler's loupe with a very short focal length so less useful on a day to day basis.
I don't know ZFS, I have been using Btrfs for years (desktop, simple setup). Defragmentation in Btrfs is not without issues. If you use subvolume (and I use Btrfs for subvolumes) and in particular snapshots, defragmenting a subvolume will deduplicate its files, increasing disk usage.

On the other hand, I have not had much need for defragmenting.
Prescription sunglasses with photochromic lenses. (Under $200 at Costco if you can find a sunglass frame there that fits you.) Like most people I had written off photochromic lens technology decades ago (too slow to respond to light changes). But the current generation is much better (they've gone through something like eight of them by now) and I do a lot of utility cycling in the Pacific Northwest. And that means that you can go through everything from bright sunlight (OK maybe not bright by most peoples' standards :-) to overcast to darkness in a trip to the grocery store. Having a single pair of glasses that can take me through all of those conditions is surprisingly liberating.

One limitation to be aware of is that the material in the lenses responds to ultraviolet light. Which means that they really only work outdoors. So you're still going to need a separate pair of sunglasses for driving.

I use something called a Tushy. It's purely mechanical. Downside is it's not heated, but that's proven fine for me. Took me about 15 minutes to install and I'm no plumber. No leaks, though I did have to check for them during install and tighten things a bit to get it right.
So at ~7% it takes 10 years to double your money. So that gives one about 4 doublings in ones working career. So, a bad ten year stretch like 98-08 which provided basically 0% over the decade makes a huge difference in ones ability to retire based solely on 401K/etc style returns and should be a strong argument in favor of defined benefit plans that basically pool the risk over a much longer horizon vs going it alone.

I would have expected someone to create a retirement insurance pool type thing that returns something close to the long term average s&p returns. But if you go looking for such a thing, the returns are closer to 1/2 the s&p. Its really the kind of thing the government should backstop but... "socialism" even if the math works out. Which really pisses me off because its apparently ok to "socalize" the poor mgmt at $BIGCORP that gets a handout once a decade or so at the current rate after spending billions on stock by backs but not socialize individual retirement risk in a meaningful way.
Thanks! And thanks again for the feedback.
There wasn't even as much water to go around back then as the contracts stated. They divided something like 20% more water than existed. They knew at the time that everyone was promised too much, but no one cared because they never hit the real physical limit.
You can run a back-test on that type of strategy using the underlying data from the linked post: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hacdyPFJtLMybJrf4CwF...

Edit: typo
You mean "markup" vs. "content." At least, such was the original intent: you store what is considered data as content, and metadata of any sort as markup. In many use cases, however, this distinction is now ignored or simply non-existent. One other "abuse" of XML as a structured representation of data is to embed a "foreign" (i.e. non-XML) syntax, like in the above example of rightAscension (which is not the worst example, to be fair).

> I'd rather take the gains from all companies in the US

As the post I was replying to said:

> The point is that, despite massive economic growth (GDP quintupled) and very high rates of inflation (in the 1970's) during that 17-year period, at the end of those 17 years the market was valuing what at the time was the most prominent index of blue-chip companies at the same market capitalization they had at the beginning of the 17 years.

That's the point, the stock market is not related to the economy. You're not getting the gains. You're getting whatever scraps the bored rich people playing poker with each other accidentally drop off the table.
I’m actually not concerned about demographics. With coming automations and workforce becoming irrelevant societal changes are going to be so tremendous, that age of the population is not going to matter.
it's not an average. its saying you buy at the start of the 20 year period and withdraw after 20 years.
It's a big part of "the word for world is forest". A colony on one planet has essentially become self governing, until one day a ship delivers an instantaneous communication device, at which point the planet is back under imperial control. There's more to the story than that ofc

There's also "The Dispossessed", where an anarchist movement travels to a distant planet in order to set up their own government.

>versus killing almost all natives and then populating the place with your own settlers..

The native population was not killed but rather decimated by disease. Pre-colonial population of North America was on the order of 60 million - there was zero chance European powers being able to hold that size of population over a period of time. Contrast that to Africa, which today has a minimal population of European descendants ... because that native population had immunity.
The skill of management is what allows you to recruit (see above. Good pay, career path, good training, treating people like humans, driving growth which creates opportunities for staff.) Most do not have it.

Of course I have selection bias. But I would say if you took a y-combinator founder and said "start a trade business", in 10 years that founder would have >50% chance of cashing out for $30M or more. (Which means $5M EBITDA, on typically a 30% EBITDA margin business. So $15-20M revenue.) And they would be able to cash flow it. AND they would be taking the profits out as they go.
What is a Wikipedia "admin"? Is this just a person that edits pages?
Note that there are 20 year periods where the net gain is close to 0. People starting their economically productive life during one of those intervals will not see any economic gains from investing in the stock market, and to the extent that the market echoes the economy their economic situation will likewise be stagnant. And worse, there will be all the people from the lucky intervals extorting these unluckly people to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.

People born in the lucky periods almost always describe their results as due to hard work, never as due to luck. And unlucky timing is almost always attributed to personal failures, not the economic situation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematode

The word nematode comes from the Modern
Latin compound of nemat- "thread" (from
Greek nema, genitive nematos "thread," from
stem of nein "to spin"; see needle) + -odes
"like, of the nature of" (see -oid).

Rock has memory and nematode worms live in Earth's lithosphere.
They hired another developer for the first time ever, I am thinking this will be a huge boost to development speed.

Now that they have more than one dev they will probably want to use source control...

While I wouldn't be surprised to see some proactive PR from the company in the wake of recent events, perhaps including the post on the zkSNARK competition last month; which was in my humble opinion one of the few submissions that has truly moved me since the late 2000's on this site:

I feel obliged to attest that the people I knew working at Jane Street at that time were some of the straightest shooters one could know. My anecdote is that SBF's toxicity didn't originate in their culture. Perhaps it was a counteraction to it, if anything.
He advises investing in the SP500 because for people who don't know what they are doing he doesn't see a better alternative. And he's right.

And sure, it will almost certainly track the economy in some sense over decades, but it need not do that over 10-15 (or 17 in his example), and it isn't some law of physics type situation. The underlying factors that drive returns on capital through time (strong property rights, reasonable labor laws, stable government) also likely drive economic growth.
@dang could we get a (2017) added to this? Changes the context quite a bit given FTX folks worked at Jane Street previously and a modern version of this talk would have a much different context.
I don't believe that AWS sells its retired equipment, at least I could find no evidence for it and thus I think the likelyhood that someone gets a hold of an unwiped/unshredded SSD from them to be exceedingly low.

I am surprised that drive manufacturers haven't built in encryption at rest though since it would be pretty easy to generate a key on first boot and then make it easy to wipe by just making a new key and thus essentially scrambling all the data on the disk instantly without having to wipe them at all.
Ironically, we're just about to buy smaller plates for a completely unrelated reason.

I'd say that discontent is implicit in any sort of rule. The smallest of villages will have discontent, and at extremes may even splinter - a collapse of an "empire" on the micro scale. It's all a matter of how discontent people become. Basically I'm arguing a tautology: when people become discontent enough to fight against their rulers, they will do so.

I see lots of folks equate "trained on" to "available verbatim" and that simply isn't the case for the vast majority of training data. It becomes hard to have a productive discussion when there is such focus on the examples that are regurgitated verbatim (often by people with explicit knowledge of the expected output, so they would *know* that they are going to infringe if they republished it) to the exclusion of talking about an in-general system that is trained on data and outputs unique data.

IMO that second case is a FAR more interesting question.
I have an unRAID tower, which is basically an all in one storage + application server with integrated docker. I have a lot of file storage with writing/programming projects, important docs, and a whole lot of video/ebook/manga data hording. I don't watch much of it but my wife and roommate do.

For Linux isos I use radarr + sonarr with Jackett for torrent aggregation, all public sites. Mullvad with wireguard gives great throughput over the VPN.

I'd expect that many mines have bottlenecks when exiting, like elevators, so a group of miners evacuating because their canary died might have to wait a while in some safe area to exit.

They would want to be able to monitor for gas in that safe area. So they would need a second canary. And they would have had to keep that second canary separated from the first so that when they enter some place that will kill the first it doesn't take out the second there.

That seems like it would be quite a hassle. Having one canary that can be reset after a gas detection would be a lot easier to deal with, and gives them a lot more flexibility if they can't promptly evacuate.
Yeah, we got a Toto as well (Neorest 700H) :-).
Totally hear the concern. We have a few thoughts about this:
1). It's an AND not an OR for us. Ello doesn't replace parents at all. In fact, many parents use Ello WITH their kids and report that Ello has opened the doors to the kid reading more with them.
2). Not all parents have the skills to teach their child to read (or the literacy skills), there are also non-native English speakers who use our product and are grateful to have that support.
3). According to data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a nationally representative assessment of student achievement in the United States, about 37% of fourth graders in the United States scored below the "proficient" level in reading in 2021. The scores are disproportionately lower for children of color and those with less resources. I would love for every child to have access to a 1:1 tutor (which runs about $100/hr), individualized education options and high quality education. But right now, we aren't supporting our kids.

It's also worth noting we aren't a full solution or a curriculum. So teaching in other ways still needs to take place. For many parents, it beats Disney plus and YouTube kids :)

They clearly describe having built an experimental device and outline expectations for improvement of the process. All technology is "potentially useful," until someone uses it.

As far as "marketing," the labs are contractually required by the government to do this. Average 'impact rating' and so forth are part of the performance evaluations.

I'm not aware of very many charlatans achieving high-level management positions or controlling significant funding.

That would essentially be a "robot with a little timer". And it's just the only one a layman like myself can come up with off the cuff. I have to assume there are more.

Edit: I watched the video, and this guy is presumably much smarter than I am, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem very convincing.

He's basically just claiming what you said, that conditions that take an extended amount of time to manifest just dont exist. That in some portion of the population, those conditions will necessarily manifest quickly. The video doesnt explain why I should believe that other than saying something like "these things are possible, but very unlikely".
