See the Fed's own theory on this topic: https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/money_12856.htm

> For example, when interest rates go down, it becomes cheaper to borrow, so households are more willing to buy goods and services, and businesses are in a better position to purchase items to expand their businesses, such as property and equipment. Businesses can also hire more workers, influencing employment. And the stronger demand for goods and services may push wages and other costs higher, influencing inflation.
My layman’s understanding is that near zero interest rates make borrowing nearly free and so investments like lots of headcount are rational. The companies don’t have to be doing the borrowing directly (though some do), they can simply benefit from investors willing to tolerate more risk since they have fewer “safe returns” as options, or more income from consumers who are willing to spend at low interest rates.
Hi can we use thonny with an image processor? Is that possible?
Very nice, and I liked the detailed description of implementation choices. A bunch of which I personally wouldn't agree with (of course) but that's programming for you. :)

As a minor detail, even as a long time computer user of the technical kind, I found it difficult to distinguish between "pkgconfig" and "pkg-config" as being two separate things throughout the text, probably since the dash is silent when I pronounce these words. Not sure how to fix it, perhaps by actually making the names longer ("the Freedesktop pkgconfig" and "pkgconfig.org" for instance).
Absolutely marvelous.
Watched a few of his videos just last week - the YT algorithm must love him.

Really, really good photography and narration - worth a watch IMO.
There are some ultralights that are electric. That's mostly what I would be interested in. It seems those would be a great segment to target, especially if the FAA allows increases the allowable weight limit for an electric ultralight to equal that of a gas ultralight with fuel (extra 30lbs). The electric motors tend to be more reliable than some of the traditional ones (or at least in the state of maintenence that is typical), and you have some weight savings there too (maybe 30lbs). Once you have 1+ kWhr/kg, that starts to look really attractive for that use case... depending on price of course.

Hydrogen would be interesting, but has some drawbacks for that use case - mostly heavy/bulky tanks and the need for heavier 4 stroke engines.
Looking through some of the examples[1], it seems the WebUI is pretty underwhelming and demands much optimization and modernization. Are there alternative UIs available?

In my experience, 95% of tech team are disfunctional beyond repair. It pisses me off everytime, and I chose to let it go, stopping the energy hemoragy, and I usually take 2-3 months off, recharge. Now it's been 18 months, no income, enjoying life in SEA. At the end of the day, month, year, decade, I own less, but my life is much more interesting than dealing with mediocre people who knows how to fake it very well, knowing they'll never make it, happy to take the pay check.

I’ve seen the GTV on sale for $20, the ATV is almost $200. That’s a 10x in price difference.

I think the most sensible way to use both devices is as a dumb “cast” target.

FWIW, the fireTV literally had a bug where it’d crash because the ad data collecting daemon used up too much processing power. For $20, just be thankful Google has that much self control.

Flawed idea. Check out input latency issues on steam link from an iOS device to a PC in a basement. It will only work for casual games.
The question was never “will it work well for someone” rather “will there really be enough someone’s it works well for that find it worth trying out and keeping”. This is squeezed on each end - on the casual by disinterest in trying a dedicated gaming service and on the traditional gamer end by an endless bevy of options and relatively common displeasure with remote gaming.

I had hopes it’d work out though but those died a while back when uptake stalled and the hype wave had already come down.
By lowering interest rates to the point people chased ever more expansive and risky investments. If all your competition is getting free money you as a business must generally take it too or extinguish to your over-capitalized competition. People also have more loose money which means if you can't up your production your customers will find alternatives and your business will dry up.

A SaaS for managing personal documents. The closest I have right now (not SaaS) is paperless-ng[0], but I have to self-host it, unless I missed a really compelling solution.

The HHS disagrees with you: https://www.hhs.gov/healthcare/about-the-aca/pre-existing-co...

> Health insurers can no longer charge more or deny coverage to you or your child because of a pre-existing health condition like asthma, diabetes, or cancer, as well as pregnancy. They cannot limit benefits for that condition either. Once you have insurance, they can't refuse to cover treatment for your pre-existing condition.

Sure, the best diesel engines get 40-45% and some gasoline engines approach 40%, but that is definitely not the norm. The average is 20% for gasoline (hence my prior figure) and 30% for diesel, which is a far cry from the average electric motor’s efficiency of around 90% in automobiles.

I suppose this is satire? I mean, how would I call such an API to make any changes to the application state? Create an image of the effect that I would like to see? Am I missing here, or is the joke just lost on me?

If this is serious and the idea is to use this only for quick and dirty read-only access, I'll stick to my time-tested "select+copy" API for now. Usually does a better job at extracting what I care about (particularly for content longer than one screen page). Yes, app owners can make that harder if they want to, but the same is true for screenshots.

Fair point. But this is also the exact problem with allowing a small number of individuals to accrue massive wealth by arbitraging labor costs like this. It doesn't matter how much philanthropy Bill Gates engages in, he doesn't understand the needs of the poor better than they do.

Instead of having this elaborate, inefficient system of funnelling money to first world billionaires and then having them (maybe) send some of it back to the developing world, wouldn't it be better if these workers were just paid better in the first place?

Meritocracy is based on the appearance of capabilities. This sounds like a nitpick but it's a huge difference.

Lucky people often appear very capable (crazy bets that just happen to pay off look like skill to less statistically trained people), as do the politically skilled (if you can convince someone that you're capable, you don't actually have to be).

Well explained here: https://gabrielsieben.tech/2022/07/29/remote-assertion-is-co...

So the issue is not the SecureBoot itself, but the ways it can and has been and will be leveraged against the user. If a desktop computer example is not enough, look at how Android phones have increasingly tightened down everything. You can't just take any model and install a custom OS (aka ROM in Android community). It was universally easy 10 years ago, that's why Cyanogenmod became so popular. Now your choices are very limited.

> > But that is besides the fact that these acts of aggression

A great thread and arguments provided here, how Microsoft (who love open source, according to own PR) will not sign anything GPLv3 for SecureBoot: https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs/issues/20#issuecomment-...

Microsoft has the defacto monopoly over the signature process, because nobody embeds any CAs in UEFI except for Microsoft's. What would be a user-friendly way? To preload UEFI with major Linux distros' keys, disabled by default, with an easy first-time setup menu to select what to do.

My laptop came with SecureBoot enabled by default although being "OS: FreeDOS" on paper. I had to figure out to disable it to boot into a live distro else it fell into an EFI shell.

> Vote with your wallet, don't buy the hardware.

> ... I am much more concerned about Intel ME and AMD PSP, where's the outrage about that?

With this I just want to say the wallet argument doesn't work when something slowly becomes the status quo and it takes experts/activists to fight back (a minority by numbers).

> I still can't easily utilise a TPM [...] and nobody bothered to integrate the functionality?

I agree, I'd have liked to enforce SecureBoot post-installation but it is too much hassle for me, I think only RedHat made good improvements in this area where it's actually easily usable (auto signing the kernel image etc.)

> Security isn't about what's unlikely, it's about the entire chain.

... But if I followed through, then still the weakest point is/becomes the keyboard. It would be trivial for an evil maid to add a keylogging device between your desktop and the physical keyboard. Do you check the rear IO on each boot? The considerations differ for laptops where you can't just plug something inbetween and need to disassemble it (time required: over night or airport luggage).
I've just gotten into this hobby and the pivots on these watches are around the 0.01mm range with the individual teeth coming in around that size too. So might be that 0.1mm brass cutting could do the trick, if you finesse it right. From what I've been reading/watching, lots of classical jewelry education focused on learning how to manufacture extremely precise tools to shape, mill, and manipulate various materials.

I had extremely limited success replicating a gear using a 0.3mm FDM Cartesian 3d printer, but even then I had to manually shave off every single tooth under a loupe.
fellow african here, with a few questions.

could the average income in kenya be around $1.25 because companies decide to pay abysmally? or the people don't merit any higher? would openai be offending the kenyans if they paid them, say, $5/hour? i think this is the question you should grapple with. openai will be selling this tech around the world, and i wonder if these $2/hr workers can afford it at all. would they, or their loved ones, be able to enjoy produce of their labor?

It seems like BS on the surface because it’s explained as a supernatural thing that gets results without effort. That’s not at all what it really is, really it’s a mental hack to align your unconscious with your conscious goals so you can stop self sabotaging, and actually take the real world actions that bring about the outcome you want. It’s simple, real, and works.

The magic part is a way of getting modern people that aren’t even aware they have an unconscious to directly work with it, by feeling they are working with some external magic.

Some people might say that! For me it was a service, rather than a restoration. At least partly because there were no major faults, stripping cleaning, and reassembling was all that was required - and changing a couple of parts.

There was nothing wrong, it wasn't broken, so restoration feels like the wrong word to use.

After not working on a codebase for a year, or two, I usually need to set up everything again -- and often run into very stupid/pointless issues that waste an hour, and often much more, just to get to the point where I can start the actual coding process.

This is pretty much why I've stopped coding. I don't have the time to waste any more.

Wait, I don't get it. I understand that the server is signing a challenge with a key presumably known to the client. But why can't the app submit the challenge programmatically upon scanning a QR code? It would still verify the signature!
To be fair, google extend this to software on the Apple TV too - the YouTube and YouTube TV apps are both complete trash that don’t respond to scrolling properly because they’ve been built using some cross platform garbage instead of for the target platform. HBO Max is another offender.

Hate this argument. As a for-profit company, OpenAI is legally and ethically obligated to minimize unnecessary expenses. It's purpose is to develop AI systems, not to provide people with high-paying jobs.

You may not be at home during the power outage. This could impact things such as aquarium support, home security, or cold food storage.

You may need additional equipment or an upgrade to existing equipment to do the power outage cut over. To do this (and not just support an outlet from the vehicle), it is necessary to remove the house from the grid for the duration - suddenly changing phases can damage equipment (e.g. when the power comes back on). Additionally, if you were still connected to the grid, it would mean that your batteries are trying to support the portion of the entire grid (which it will fail badly at).

This also depends on the equipment that you currently have. Not everyone has a battery backup Tesla power wall. If you are plugging the car into 120v or 240v outlets, that doesn't have the circuitry to support isolation of the house from the grid after a power outage and the wiring for the 120v or 240v outlet isn't heavy enough to support the current draw for the rest of the house even if it was isolated.

You may also decide that trying to do it from the car, while possible, is a bad idea. https://electrek.co/2021/02/23/tesla-voids-your-warranty-pow... and https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/tesla-ne...

I hate it when head honchoes try and get cozy with you by signing off with their First Name only --way to take the name away from anyone else in the company with the same name. 99% of the people in a large company like that never met you and don't know you on a first-name basis.

In my experience they were built to be more serviceable, but also due to less precise manufacturing, there were seemingly a lot more tolerances built into the designs. It's great watching people restore Rolexes, Leicas, etc.

Similar to the video here, I have my grandfathers Rolex. He wore it while trimming hedges and doing all sorts of yard work. Why not, it was his only watch and he needed to tell the time! If it's so good it ought to be able to stand up to the abuse! It's also not like he serviced it regularly, and after being in a safe for 20 years after his passing, I put it on, moved around for a day with it.. and it started to keep time about as accurately as specified.

These days you see the exact opposite behavior. Everyone has just become so precious about their goods. "It's really expensive so I need to protect it / use it sparingly / use great caution". Look at the entire ecosystem of protective cases for iPhones/Apple Watches/etc. On upscale cars you have the obsession with paint protection films, ceramic coatings, etc.

In some cases its warranted - we got my wife a (not Rolex) expensive watch 10 years ago, and the thing has had to go in for service every 2-3 years for weeks at a time to get it to keep time properly. Even if some companies like Tesla have notoriously thin paint, no ones cars are rusting in 5 years like they did in the 80s.
This is one of the reasons I'm even less concerned about AI taking over everything than I used to be - every time an AI makes an "inconvenient" inference, it's reprogrammed until it becomes politically correct. It can't learn, because it's being deliberate prohibited from doing so.
I'm amazed they are publishing anything about it. It would seem like that's an important trade secret.

> All of the Labs or these DoD Research centers typically require Security Clearances so that means you need to be a US Citizen and have a squeaky clean background and it also precludes things like using Cannabis.

I’m pretty sure LBNL doesn't require a security clearance (both from it being a DOE non-weapons lab, and because I knew someone who worked there who almost certainly could not have gotten a security clearance.)

On the other hand, federal (including contractors, like the labs) workplace policy on drug use reflects federal law, even where states have removed their own laws against certain drugs, and even where, as is the case with some cannabis use, federal law enforcement policy withholds enforcement where states have decriminalized.

(Also, the labs are mostly major-university-run and so have policies reflecting mandatory policies for federally-funded universities on drug and alcohol use.)
It's pointing out that you are making a comparison that is of little value besides demonstrating your own apparent inability to make reasonable comparisons

Generators aren't going to spin up just to cover a brief fluctuation like that. It would cause too much wear on the system, so most likely anyone selling electricity to the grid via generators would program their system to only turn on when it predicts the price change will last more than a few seconds.

Assuming instability does actually become a problem though, that sounds like a very straightforward technical problem with many possible solutions. Just off the top of my head, the simplest market-based solution would likely be futures trading. If all these appliances reserve their electricity usage 10 seconds in advance, then sellers can know exactly how much demand there'll be and adjust their production accordingly, maybe even bidding on that capacity so they know in advance exactly how much they'll need to produce. I imagine the high-frequency trading industry probably has tons of experience with this sort of thing.
