Sometimes I imagine an apocalyptic event wiping out humanity for a few million years, replaced by some new intelligent species after a while.

This is not a correction to/opinion about anything you said, but I happen to have this note handy on my desktop because I was caught trying to find different words for the same concept you were speaking of above with the word "ideal".

Found these words: archetype, prototype, ideal, ur-form, primordial (mathematics), formal cause, exemplar, Platonic form, essences, archetypal, original pattern, fundamental pattern, first principle, protype, paradigm, archetypical

Just mentioning it as an aside in case anyone's ever similarly trying to find the right word in the future.
This being the top comment is the most hacker news thing ever.

Yes, the solution is people, presumably men, telling women to have children, because they just don't know better!

And downvotes for anyobe questioning that this is feminisms fault.

Interested on knowing why Japanese women don't have children? You might want to look into the cultural expectations of being a mother in Japan. You might find that feminism is the opposite of the problem.

Of course they can. "Can I get a beer, I'll settle up next week, A owes me."
This starts to get outside the scope of the article, but it is not true that USD central authorities fully or even majority control the money supply through regulation. You can create a bank in UAE or many other jurisdictions with a local license that allows you to deal in USD completely outside the jurisdiction of US enforcement agencies. Even within the jurisdiction of US agencies, there is a shadow banking ecosystem that is poorly understood and highly illegible. Most USD are not created within the jurisdiction of US authorities because USD is an international trade and reserve currency.
Banks are regulated and restricted, but any entity who lends money would technically create money. Individuals are rarely at a size where they can do this, but hedge funds and insurance companies are.

travisjungroth said, you can also check against a reference implementation.

Eg if you coded up an O(n) version of the Fibonacci calculation, you can check against the naive recursive one (or if you are feeling confident, you can check against the O(log n) solution via repeated squaring of matrices.)

> That's also the years I started getting RSI, changed a lot of habits, keyboards, postures etc. to come to the conclusion that the real issue was plainly doing the same movements over and over.

I started getting RSI. Not really from coding, but from mouse use in games like Quake and Half-Life. My fix was actually to start riding a bicycle, and getting in general more fit, going to the gym, etc. RSI disappeared as I got more fit. The real issue is to live a sedentary life without enough bit muscles movements.

It can be spent. That's money.
I’ve been looking at these headlines for 13 years with science literacy. I’ve become jaded as well. But this is the real deal. The idea that epigenetic model of aging is different in mice than any other mammal is so off base that it’s not even worth considering. This is nothing like those experiments that show apricots reduce cancer by 2% in mice — highly subject to mouse physiology with negligible results. Whatever animal they apply this cleaving to will display the same results, namely accelerated aging by every metric… this is massive and groundbreaking. Anyone who has any biochemistry literacy should know that

As an example, if we use solar to generate the electricity to power the indoor farm, the panels will take up roughly 20-40% of the sun's energy, depending on the panel.

So to grow the crops indoors we need to use at least 2.5x as much land.

The sun is not a source of emissions, so why spend time and money replacing it?

ChatGPT Assures Me _Godfather_'s Horsehead Scene Doesn't Exist
This is a conversation I had with ChatGPT tonight.

First, I thought the circumstance might be found humorous.

Second, I don't intend to break any guidelines, and welcome its deletion if it does.

Third, I'm also technically curious about what happened, if people have a better sense of ChatGPT than I do, and whether the self-correction it spoke of will have "stuck."
Good point, I added a clearer version of the question to my comment above. It still has trouble with it.
Well, obviously if you were starting a bank, you'd want a pile of reserves and cash so that this doesn't happen to you on day one. Alternately, you'd offer to hold deposits for some people in exchange for interest, and then lend it out. Your reserve ratio might be close to 100% in this case

But over time, as your reputation got better and you gathered more deposits, you would lend out far more than your reserves. You could do this as much as your risk tolerance allowed.

Historically, the Fed had a minimum reserve requirement of around 10%, meaning banks needed to have only 10% of the value of their deposits in safe, liquid assets. As of 2020, that requirement was dropped to... 0%

For how long? One hour? Maybe American or European homes. When I'm not charging the Tesla my home rarely goes above 5 kW - only when I'm cooking with the electric oven and electric range. We don't use a television or very much heating or cooling.

But I've seen homes that have a steady 10 kW load in the US - security systems, central AC, and way too many lights and televisions on were the big constant loads.
Alas, discussion of money and especially money creation online tends to be of uniformly low quality.

(To be fair, even many economists have a fairly nebulous understanding.)

What's somewhat ironic is that the some of the actual 'Austrian' economists like George Selgin have a pretty good handle on the topic, but 'Internet Austrians' invariable are some of the worst misunderstanders.

That may be the principle but it's obviously flawed inasmuch as every square inch of cultivation needs its square inch of sunlight equivalent to grow. So now you're stuck with the energy cost of cramming (the sun) x (your stack depth) into your grow facility. You can certainly save on other inputs like water, but you lose the only free input available to agriculture, namely sunlight.
You are barking mad, son.
Why even publish incomplete research missing important data? Pretty much everything has negative/side effects even if they are rare, but to claim they don't see any is just premature publishing.

Agreed. Point is, banks created money willy nilly from the start. This was problematic when growth was zero. It was catastrophic when growth was positive. Central banks were invented to regulate this process. Not the other way.
Developer laptops are the next logical vector from zero trust networks backed by SSO. Reading between the lines it seems like the session was an SSO token. I think you're right about giving too broad of access. A lot of companies I've been at assign you to LDAP groups over time and if you've been there a while you'll belong to a lot of LDAP groups. There is no ritual to minifying access that I've ever been made aware of. We definitely need some developer oriented antivirus software, because moving to a life where every bit of software needs to be approved would be a literal nightmare.

Yeah, that confidence comes from the a wind farms business model, backed by a sound economic model. But there’s still risk, otherwise it’s not an investment.

Banks and investors lend/invest in things that are likely to succeed, and pay them back. But there’s no guarantee, and national grid sure as shit isn’t going to provide that guarantee, why would they take on all that risk?

The only guarantee provided to a wind farm by the grid, is that they’ll be able to participate in the market, and that the grid ensures they will take the power they sell in the market, or compensate them if they can’t (curtailment).

But there are no guarantees that there’s someone in the market to actually buy your power at the price you want to sell it. But as wind produces the cheapest electricity around, it’s a pretty reasonable bet that a wind farm can sell it energy for a profit.

Additionally the grid reserves the right to change how the markets work, within reasonable limits, and no doubt are required to take supplier and consumer issues into consideration. But if you don’t like the changes they make, your only recourse is to sue them, and prove they breached the contract. But there’s no guarantee you’ll win.

A smart bank/investor know all of these things, and will have a decent idea of changes that might impact the business model, and the likelihood of them occurring, and thus include those risks in their investment strategy. But absolutely nobody in this game goes in expecting a sure fire win, that’s just naive.

Thanks for the existential dread.
I should have been more specific and said "without deposits or reserves", but I was assuming that without a central bank account, reserves are moot. This is because the central bank determines reserve requirements for the commercial banks, so a bank without a fed account is limited in how much money they can 'create.'

If the Bank doesn't have enough reserves to give Bob money, they simply cannot give him a loan. If a commercial bank doesn't have enough reserves, they can take a temporary loan from the Fed at the cash rate and create money to their hearts (or their risk-teams) content.
Sure, if you only look at the minutae. At a high level, a relationship is a bond between two people, so it's unfair to lay all the blame solely at the feet of the other person. You've probably done things that make your partner unhappy as well.

The mature way to approach the problem is to work together to resolve the issues -- or if that isn't possible, terminate the relationship. You can't just make yourself the victim and say it's all the other's fault.

"Banks create the money supply (~97% of it). "

They create all of it. God knows where the 97% comes from. We don't have silver coins any more, and even they were tokens for a promise.

It was empirically proven by Keynes by in the 1930s. Werner was way behind the curve.

It's not new knowledge. Reginald McKenna published a book on it in the 1920s.[0]

"What happens when this behavior is aggregated in the whole system is essentially wealthy people jumping over each other to secure an amount of loans approaching infinity "

Wrong. The entire system is a liquidity provision for existing stuff. It is systemically limited by physical collateral and risk limits within banks. If a bank takes on too much risk then it goes bust and the shareholder capital is wiped out.

There is no asset bubble. Artificially intervening in the market for money (which is what interest rate setting is) suppresses the price of assets, which means insufficient are produced.

We're seeing that now as the house builders go into hibernation - another round of stop start in the construction industry - which is one of the reasons why they tend to use subcontractors rather than hire and train employees.

Channelling the stability process via the banks, and thereby making them 'special' means we can't let the standard process of capitalism, bankruptcy and loss of capital, control the risk limits in banks.

> There is no provenance, no chain-of-trust.

We should've probably started with the fact that I despise security policies based on provenance, chains of trust, public key infrastructure, and third parties. This kind of "security" feels extremely fragile and unnecessarily centralized. We somehow live with how SSH identifies servers by their keys, with no third-party verification, and consider that an okay level of security. Why can't we use the same approach for TLS and for executable signatures? What's so fundamentally different that third parties are required in these cases?
There's a lot of evidence that he popularized NMN and helped build market demand for it only to later use some regulatory trickery to ensure that a company he's involved with is the only one who's licensed to sell it in the US. This behavior is hostile towards consumers and would only financially benefit him and related parties. It's been frowned upon in NMN circles.

It puts a bad taste in my mouth given the fact that Sinclair tries to brand himself as someone who puts the interests of humanity over his own.

> What reactivity really does is take cache invalidation, said to be the hardest problem, and turn the problem itself into the solution. You never invalidate a cache without immediately refreshing it, and you make that the sole way to cause anything to happen at all. Crazy, and yet it works.

> When I tell people this, they often say "well, it might work well for your domain, but it couldn't possibly work for mine." And then I show them how to do it.

Signals-based reactivity is garbage collection on steroids. It does solve cache invalidation, and extends it to effects as well. It really should be a language feature at this point.

I wish the model could be extended to distributed systems, but adding network unreliability to the mix is non-trivial.

I’ve read the article multiple times, just to be sure, and this seems to be correct. What are we missing?

From the article:

> The M32 system is a 5,000 kg, four-hour Kinetic Energy Storage System (KESS) flywheel technology. It can store 32 kWh of energy in a 2 ton steel rotor

32kWh of energy is 32kW for one hour, which is about the same energy as half a Model 3 battery.

The allure must be the lack of degradation, giving good long term cost (chunks of steel are cheap).

Could someone chime in?
Loans create deposits. Balance sheets have to balance.

The loan creates the advance, and the advance is transferred to the credit of another person - which is either directly the payee, or the bank where the payee has the account.

Simple double entry accounting.

Sorta, but the real question is would you want to? An IOU is an asset representing a future cash flow. From you. It’s an asset for someone else, but a liability for you.

Similarly a bank can create money but it’s a liability for them. They won’t do it for free; you have to pay them to do it with something of value.
I wouldn't call altered carbon the same as traditional life extension ideas. But what puzzles me most is assuming we could live 1000 years, after 500 years would it still be you?

Most of those announcements should explain more specifically which level of the storage curve their cover:

* flywheels are great for sub-second up to a few minutes of correction and adjustments, as they can have enormous output and don’t suffer from degradation from usage; capacity is expensive, so using them for more than a few minutes isn’t economical; they spin down quite fast, depleting in the course of days or weeks, depending on the quality of the barring.

* batteries (notably LFP) offer great potential for longer periods, up to a few hours: capacity is cheaper, and their output is good, but expensive to scale with power electronics; they don’t really deplete after a few months, so great to smooth out daily and weather pattern.

* gravity (notably pumped hydro) is cheap for even more capacity but has limited opportunities, and it’s not nearly as fast to trigger as the other, so it’s better used to store capacity over one week. Evaporation is a problem, but cheaply fixable.

They overlap a lot, so having systems work together, or only one isn’t impossible — but having that structure and quasi-ranking in mind really helps understand what is being discussed.
Your assertion, while true, is irrelevant to the topic of human behaviour that we're discussing.
32kWh over four hours (assuming that's what that means) is 8kW continuous; The US energy information administration says something near an average of 1kW per residential utility customer[1] (I rounded), so it would cover about 8 homes in the US. Energy use is probably different in the Phillipines, but you can aggregate many of these, presumably to get to your storage and charge/discharge requirements.
