That $4B number was a huge outlier, though. Here's the FRED graph (which should be a required link any time someone wants to talk about economics numbers): https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PSAVE

The combination of restricted consumer economies and extensive government assistance produced a savings boom the likes of which we have basically never seen in the US in the era of modern economic data.

And it's over, and so naturally consumers are spending down their bank accounts to the levels that they felt were appropriate before the pandemic. The point is that the current conditions are a much better approximation to "normal economy" than what was happening in 2020/21.

You can explain the inflation burp very well via the savings data. But trying to read a recession into it seems IMHO pretty ridiculous.

> we're going to see anything like 08.

Right because this time we're in a much larger asset bubble than we were back then.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if we don't go into a recession because the larger the bubble gets the more desperately we need to keep some air in it. It would not surprise me to see cheap money return only because the alternative might, at some point, be the collapse of the entire systems.

We'll keep the bubble going so as long as we can, but the longer we punt this off the more extreme the breakdown is going to be.

Less credit is not zero credit. Plenty of cards offer stupid low introductory rates and excessively large credit limits.

Smaller credit limits + lower interest rates makes it much harder for people to become unable to pay.

I don’t think it’s good news myself. I’m in sufficiently wealthy circles to just ask old friends for money. Most other people aren’t, and I’m sure all kinds of abusive cult dynamics will spring up.

On net it might be worse than the power dynamics between employee and employer, as employees have more freedom to just walk away.

The power dynamics may more closely resemble those between child and parent. Parents also provide their children with housing and money, and impose personal social norms on them.
> the Ads app is the same as AdWords on web

Clearly not, the AdWords on the web is rendered using the DOM, while a Flutter application will be rendered via a canvas DOM element.

You can try this yourself by opening up the inspector.

Where the ads are mostly shown, is also built using normal (in the web sense) DOM elements, either images or text, rather than Flutter canvas elements.
My bots are set up through dev. I wasn't saying my bots don't have read/write access. Just saying that my bots _only_ actually write, and I was hoping I could perhaps still use them for that purpose without having to pay.
I've been using firefox for years... Firefox is cool. Slack huddle in my Firefox never works, I don't know why. But that's cool. If someone in the team needs a "huddle" I can give a reason and ask them to describe their problem instead. That works 99% and saves me a lot of time.

I love firefox.

I don’t think wanting apolitical information is a weird hill to die on. I didn’t read the last commenters link but maybe it just didn’t give the best examples. If you search, you will definitely find examples where it will refuse to answer a question that is right leaning but happily respond with a left leaning answer.

To me that doesn’t “feel” like it was learned from training data but it feels more like a bias was programmed into the interface. Likely with good intentions but it’s catching edge cases that even the authors probably didn’t intend.

I do believe it will get better. I don’t think ChatGPT is a political secret weapon of the left. With Covid, the last US election, civil unrest, there is a lot of fear about putting out false or negatively insightful information. It’s a tough problem to solve. I don’t think ChatGPT should be responsible for solving it but they should try to make it feel less biased on the overly aggressive parts.

My point is the smaller encoding is what gives you the performance benefit. When done across an entire function/module, you can get a measurable increase in hit rate for the instruction cache. Not that the instruction itself is faster. Apologies if that wasn't clear.
No, but I'm choosing to trust the developer for the moment.

Sure, not ten years ago though when it was first starting. Doesn't Jetpack Compose work similarly to Flutter in that it draws every pixel? If so, Kotlin native could be used there to bring it to web and desktop perhaps.
This is not true at all in companies that know how to do layoffs. Layoffs in mature companies consult most of the management hierarchy and even many senior ICs and in addition engage the strategic planning teams to steer resources as needed.

That Google, the king of data driven, is flagrantly incompetent on this front is pretty funny, though.

EFF Podcast: Don't Be Afraid to Poke the Tigers
The entire post is about making up a deceptive human username and AI generated human photo. What I'm talking about is making a name like rco8786 and using the avatar of whatever... a delicious ham sandwich.

There is nothing novel about making up an avatar. The point of the article is "trick people by making it a believable one so they'll think that's you, and not just an avatar." Ie. there's an incredibly important social signal in having a name that's obviously not your actual name.
Haha! I actually missed that... well done.
“Server side rendering” is such a terrible term. The server isn’t doing rendering, the browser is. The server is sending a complete well-formed DOM for the client to render. Well done, modern devs! A plain .html file does that.

I really hope some of the heavy front-end frameworks die a death, some common sense prevails, and we get a lighter, faster loading, more responsive web. I can dream.

This sounds like it's begging for an article in 20 years about "Why we never should have used superabsorbent polymers in agriculture".

> A common argument I've heard is "well ok, maybe layoffs don't help the company directly, but it is an opportunity to get rid of dead weight". Sure, except presumably at-will employers could have done that at any time if they had hard data that suggested this pool of employees weren't working out.

I'm guessing letting an individual go carries higher risk of a wrongful termination suit than a bulk layoff, so there is still an incentive to mask performance-based decisions with economic justifications.
Even thou I watched that movie 20 years ago. I will never forget that scene.

It's not that simple though. I'm an IT Director. A good chunk of my time is just thinking and not doing.

Do I work 8 hours a day? Probably, but it's hard to say. I can't say "I worked for 9.5 hours today" because it's impossible to measure.

Headline is spun. Current rate data is hugely confounded by the pandemic. In fact consumer debt dropped like a rock during the pandemic and is bouncing back to something that looks decidedly normal to me (higher than the 2011-2012 recovery, much lower than the 2002 dot com aftermath, etc...).

My impression is that the cash back (& similar rewards) are mostly paid for by the merchants - who do not get (say) $100.00 when you pay them $100.00 with your credit card.
Yes. Theft is a crime regardless of how it's done.
Here’s a little idea. Make a GPT-3 based app that provides summaries of Wikiepedia, and make the app available in countries in which Wikipedia is illegal.

Or use GPT to generate media faster than the pakistani government can censor it.
>Because the 400k car costs 10% more to make

I grew up in a Toyota household, and before the Hyundai I drove a Toyota. The prices for the 2 cars are the same (in fact the Toyota was a bit cheaper after inflation), but the Hyundai had more modern features.

The part/design quality for Toyota and Hyundai were especially apparent because of my experience. I still like the Hyundai though- it never had any major malfunction so Hyundai had put effort into its drive train.

How does the savings numbers compare historically?

Honestly I've been hearing since 2008 about the next coming crash and it still hasn't come, despite massive shocks to the economy. Perhaps we're more robust than we think?

I get it - fear sells. But look at the recent job numbers? GDP grew last quarter? Inflation has slowed down.
So are you against giving people of limited means a way to shift part of the purchase cost of a necessary replacement item into the future? As a concrete example, it seems entirely reasonable to me for someone of limited means to spend something like $2,000 on a credit card to repair a broken car so that they are able to get to their job. If you don't give people a legal means to access money like that (even if the rates are borderline usurious), I would expect them to seek out illegal methods -- and that seems worse all around for society.
> unfair to compare the 20-40 range vs the 60-80 range.

No, you want the skew. The goal is to capture the people who own 90% of stock, so you do want wealth regardless of age.

It would be more accurate to have some measure of stock ownership to income, but I think that would not be as useful. Stock ownership probably does just track closely with age, since you store up all these assets to live off during retirement. Most young people will not own 1M+ in retirement and investment funds. Even high income people will instead spend that money on a house etc.
If it where the case that everyone was like you in their credit card use it would have to imply one month consumer spending also went up dramatically. This is something, at least according to earnings reports coming it, I don't believe we're seeing.
Why do you assume the posts on reddit are at all organic? Big brands 100% astroturf on reddit.
It had nothing to do with genY tech acumen, which is lower the previous crops on average due to weakening curriculum standards and a lack of experience with technology in any deep way, it was the firehouse of free capital and a “starve the competition” model employed by the FAANG constituents that it helped fund.
It writes things that sound reasonable in context. So it will likely give something that sounds like a Popular Mechanics article about how some kind of machine works, but it may not really be this particular machine that you are asking about, or any actual machine in existence. That's the tricky thing about it, if it actually said "fairy dust" you know you can stop reading, but what it actually writes typically needs some actual understanding of the subject to refute.

Haskell isn't the functor police! It's on you to define good functors, proving them so would be a totally different endeavour and far more difficult.

I would like to understand better the issue with product types though. What do you want to do that you can't currently.

By the way, most of my knowledge about the connection between Haskell and Category Theory comes from here: https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-p...

"(because of failings of education due to lack of funding)"

I think there are other reasons for the failed education. Even with more money, I doubt they would prioritize it. Most schools offer personal finance as an elective. It should probably be part of the core curriculum. Even then, you will have students that are unintered or don't apply themselves.

The easy fix is to reign in the lending by setting low limits that only increase with good payment history and cap lifetime interest payments as an percentage of the original purchase, like 200% adjusted for inflation.

Want a credit card? Here's one with a $250 limit. Didn't pay it back? Now you'll owe $500 adjusted for inflation, and you can't get another card or more credit unless this one is paid back.

The political/legal ability to do this is more questionable.

Yes, but these are the same people who are managing every single program on your system. At some point you either have to compile every single item from source yourself, or accept the fact that you will need to place a certain level of trust into the vetting system your distribution has established.
I have been managing team servers for a while, in most of the cases, a server was required to:

1. Running experiments, like trying tools before committing to integrating them in our project.

2. Run a tool that would simplify local development setup, in most cases, running a backend or a database.

3. Try a preview from our applications in a cloud environment.

For the 1st case a single shared server for experiments has worked fine, I guess this would depend on each team.

For the 2nd case, we'd usually create a server specific for the tool and share the access with devs requiring it.

For the 3rd case, it got a bit more complicated because there are times where many devs what to push a preview, requiring coordination between devs which is tedious and error-prone. At the end, we took your route and we ended up building our own service to provide fullstack preview environments automatically when pushing code to our repository, so far, it has removed the need to share servers with devs for most scenarios.

From my late-beginner Coq student perspective, I'm amused to think that the loop detection in Haskell (which allows you to distinguish divergence from a specific instance of a type) might have made Haskell less sound from a type theory perspective, because it is in some way intervening in the calculation to add or detect distinctions that would otherwise not be a part of the underlying theory!

Well, maybe that's not the best way to put it: but the example of using the <<loop>> detection to distinguish a loop from a concrete instance is something that Haskell added presumably for users' convenience; if it didn't have that feature, you would not, in fact, be able to distinguish the infinite loop from a specific value in finite time, except by manually examining the implementation!
Do you have some papers of DL that models probabilities directly? You're not just talking about Bayesian Neural Networks right? I've had ideas for having a neural network predict both its target and its estimation of error (by using the actual residual in the loss function to compare to predicted error estimation). Is that similar to what you're talking about?

Speaking of ASP.NET Core, why do web hosts not support it via Phusion Passenger like Ruby, Python, and Node apps are supported? Lack of cheap hosting for .NET apps keeps a lot of legacy PHP in production for me personally (which is why Blazor is not of interest to me)... I'm sure I'm not alone.

> Couple weeks later they send me a check for 20 grand out of the blue

Glad this ended up working out in your favor. Your story makes me wonder how often such a practice doesn't end with the employer forking up the 20 grand they stole. I guess I've heard it said that wage theft is the most common form of theft but this is still rather frustrating to think about.

Does this sort of practice come with some other punishment or does the board just tell the employer to pay what's owed?

Regarding Google search results, could some explain to me what it is that appears after the first few sections of results and the format changes to something else entirely? When I run the search on my iPhone for “baseball”, I get a few screens worth of normal looking stuff and then if I keep scrolling past the “More search results” link the background turns pinkish and scrolling gets jerky. Nothing of real value ever shows up at this point and the user experience is absolutely terrible. Are these paid placements? Does this section of results have a proper name?
