>Show me on this chart where unemployment goes low and stays low for an extended period? It has never happened.

Show where on the chart it stays flat for long period of time.

You're just moving goalposts at this point.

The fact is, and is demonstrated by that chart, that unemployment tends downwards between recessions, then jumps during them. And each recession had an uptick before the recession. The down trend length is not at all indicative of impending recession from that chart. And, as I pointed out to begin with, the current unemployment is not having that uptick. Many of the upticks took over a year from uptick start to recession. And there's ample upticks more than 5 years before the next recession. So uptick does not imply recession, but lack of uptick implies no recession soon. There is not a single example among the 12 recessions in that data (and, if you look at other country data, the same pattern appears).

My original point is correct: there is yet no sign in the unemployment data of impending recession, no matter how much you seem to want one, so much so you make incorrect claims about the data without actually checking the data.

>Recession dynamics in relation to unemployment are well understood. Low unemployment as a driver of inflation is well understood. Fed reaction function in relation to inflation is well understood. The consequence of higher unemployment as a result of higher real rates is well understood

Those are partially understood - if there were such a causal or even empirical link from one to the other we'd not need the NBER to analyze macro variables to decide on recessions. This is not physics - there is a lot more uncertainty, and some factors move over time as different factor weights change (and even political will to do things). That there is no simple way to look at all the variables you mention and claim "impending recession!" with any certainty is the most salient fact of all.

And, as I pointed out, unemployment is not at this moment pointing to immediate recession, unless you have a never before seen relation between them.
Yeah I’ve always been a bit leery of code competitions. I saw a lot of undergrads spend a lot of effort on these contests, and I was never convinced it was the best use of their time (especially because the university I did my graduate studies at had a professor who put a lot of effort into running the competitive programming club).

I think a group of 15-20 bright and enthusiastic CS students under the guidance of a tenured CS professor could accomplish a lot with the time/effort they were spending and learn just as much!

The term 'conservative' is pretty broad, so for sure some will not identify with this. But I know more than a few that would, after carefully considering the implications of the claim, affirm it to be pretty accurate. They're actually okay with it.
What's the advantage of defining the grammar in Rust? JavaScript is admittedly an odd choice, but it works, there are a ton of grammars out there and it isn't needed at runtime.

Changing the runtime to Rust is very useful though - I've wanted that for a long time to make WASM and cross compilation easier.
> The best way to get someone's password isn't phishing, it's threatening to hit them in the head with a wrench.

I think thats an issue with crypto in general. The use cases of times where a bank fails and FDIC insurance doesn't work is a time where digital money is going to have little use. Now if you decide to trust a central entity just a tiny amount, all other forms of digital currency win out in countless ways.
> Developers are now raw meat encouraged to get stars, followers and commit counters, doing the most stupid things in the most appealing way to get visibility! Yeah! Engagement! Followers! Audience!

I'm not sure what's wrong here.

Pre-GitHub, most OSS happened via mailing lists (and for some core projects, it still does). The idea was to make a more polished, perhaps more social UI to browse code and repo (that wouldn't get overrun with spam and shady download like SourceForge did...).

And you don't have to use any of those features if you don't want to! A lot of devs only use the repo and PR UI and don't care or even notice the follows, start or issue tracker.

> Good code is written when people are focused, thinking hard about a problem while having the time to grasp the big picture. Modern Github seems to be purposely built as a tool to avoid people thinking about what they do and discourage them from writing anything but a new JavaScript framework.

That's such a bizarre take. How is GitHub incentivizing people to only write JS Frameworks? You can write pretty much anything you want on GitHub...

> I've migrated all of my own projects to Sourcehut (where I've a paid account) or to my university self-hosted gitlab.

It's great when you have a datacenter and full time sysadmins to maintain a GitLab install. That's precisely why people (who didn't have those resources) went with GitHub.

Plus, let's be honest, compensation from GitLab has never been competitive with Github, and they tried normalizing some weird CoL adjustments that made little sense. We all know where devs who got offers from both companies ended up working...
Dual core started coming out ~2005. It took a few more years for it to dominate the product lineup. Computers tend to have a replacement cycle of ~5 years. Consequently, it's not until about 2012-ish that you could reasonably expect a personal computer to have a multicore computer.

(Yeah, that's still a decade ago, but that's a good deal more recent than 17 years.)
>has been deemed to occur in retrospect according to today's terms

Yes, that graph shows the "retrospect" recession start, and every one is after unemployment rises. But not every rise in unemployment yields a recession.

Currently there is not a rise in unemployment.

Conditional probabilities are reasonably effective because they are the mathematical underpinning of probabilities.

They are not unreasonable effective.

It's just that sampling from probability distributions is computationally expensive, which has lead to the development of frequentist statistics (as opposed to Bayesian statistics). Frequentist statistics is unreasonably effective, since it makes so many assumptions that its hard to do a frequentist statistical analysis without violating some of the assumptions the methods have with regards to the data distributions, etc.
I live in a small village with no streetlights, and lovely views of the stars. It is very dark here at night, was a real shock coming from the town, I used to walk around where I was previously, that was not well lit but the amount of ambient light was actually quite high. Very different here.
>Do you not recognize how lousy of a video sharing website this would be? Spammers are going to be constantly uploading marketing and other low-quality content with irrelevant keywords, while users that actually put work into making good quality videos will see their results pushed to the bottom quickly. How will you deal with that without implementing a system that can identify and recommend non-spam videos? Even the oldest versions of Youtube were boosting videos that got lots of likes.

Not sure why that's my problem, I'm not the one making money by promoting reactionary videos to reactionaries.

>How is deciding the "closest match" not considered a recommendation? They all have the user's keyword, what other criteria will you use?

Because it's not a recommendation, some are better matches than others, thats' all. Some match the entire keyword, some just parts, some in different places... I don't understand what is difficult about this for you.
That is correct. We would expect some kind of fractional shrink equivalent to the numbering system used.

Intel expects to shrink from 4 to 3 to 20A and finally 18A. Apparently, decent progress has been made on 20A, so at least 3 shrinks should be expected. TSMC has a roadmap to 2nm, and they expect to slow down after that. Samsung has plans for 1.4nm. My guess is that one major player to fall out around the 20, 18, 14 angstrom area. My present thought is that this will be Samsung. I think expect one or two shrinks before Intel or TSMC falls away. One more after that, and then some other technology may need to step up to the plate.

I had long thought that something like gallium arsenide would replace silicon allowing for higher frequencies, but cost might be prohibitive. The world after the shrinks may just be a logic and efficiency war.

Nope. Always Late Inventory(tm) means that no upstream supplier has any excess capacity.

So, even if you wanted to drop prices a bit and gain some customers, you can't. Your upstream supplier can't give you 10% more eggs because they are capacity constrained as well. Lather, rinse, repeat at every level.

I agree. We came to that conclusion about platform just a week or so ago and have paused hiring because we can't meet the commitment we've made about responsiveness. We haven't paused infra; instead, we've hired someone to help keep up with it.

I can't mitigate any bad experience you've had. I fucking hate getting ghosted, and I get a little nauseous when I think about us having ghosted people. But ghost people we have! All I can say is that it's not deliberate; it's just been a lot to keep up with.

For everyone else: my sense is that the majority of people in our process have gotten timely (if not as fast as I'd like) responses from us, but if it's been weeks and you haven't heard back from me, you can hit me up directly. We don't ghost people "communicatively"; that's just not how we convey decisions.
I agree with your second paragraph, but I'm failing to understand why a company would want to manipulate government unemployment figures (and indeed, surely if they actually lay off staff then they're not manipulating the reporting/figures, they're changing the reality which is then reflected in the figures)?

> If I live in such a place, I expect to be able to walk on sidewalks without a flashlight.

We don't have any sidewalks. People either take trails adjacent to roads or walk on the roads themselves. Everyone is aware that pedestrians and equestrians are first class citizens, so residents drive slowly. That's not true for some delivery drivers and domestic workers, but we find the risk-reward tradeoff reasonable enough to have left the lighting provision in our CC&Rs for the last eighty years. Sometimes, expectations are at odds with the realities of what is tolerable in terms of safety, good for local flora and fauna, and pleasurable for ourselves.
Supreme Court rejects man’s bid to sue police over arrest for Facebook parody
Yes.

I think he does a good job of explaining that technology necessitates the loss of freedom, and that conservative politicans who oppose regulation are taking people for suckers to promote big business. Footnote 13:

> [13] Conservatives’ efforts to decrease the amount of government regulation are of little benefit to the average man. For one thing, only a fraction of the regulations can be eliminated because most regulations are necessary. For another thing, most of the deregulation affects business rather than the average individual, so that its main effect is to take power from the government and give it to private corporations. What this means for the average man is that government interference in his life is replaced by interference from big corporations, which may be permitted, for example, to dump more chemicals that get into his water supply and give him cancer. The conservatives are just taking the average man for a sucker, exploiting his resentment of Big Government to promote the power of Big Business.
In no way does a typical HN comment debate every possible related tangential point. Do we expect a modicum of intellectual rigor? Yes. But to say every tangent is followed and scrutinized is simply factually untrue.

And several paragraphs? I challenge you to show even a large minority of argumentative responses that veer into "several" paragraphs. You characterize this as "most of the ... responses" but I think that's unfair.

One wonders why you'd resort to such hyperbole unless you were deliberately attempting to undermine the value of the site.

>”appoint an inflation hawk to the Fed”

Given the persistent and painful inflation that had been happening in the 1970’s, wouldn’t appointing an inflation hawk be considered an appropriate choice?

Appointing an inflation dove would probably exacerbate the situation and I imagine he would be judged even more harshly.

It is not perfect, but anytime I find a problem now a real human verifies it or ask for clarification within hours and a fix is made an pushed with a reference to my report.

Also: for some narrow searches like arcane git knowledge or some niche parts of history etc, search.marginalia.nu is actually a lot better than Google and DDG and Bing. I am actually serious!

GitHub is like any other commercial social network. It appoints trophies and rewards to those who play the 'game' in some meaningful way. GitHub doesn't even do rate limiting on follows and actually encourages bot behavior for anyone wanting to artificially inflate their follower count (it's trivial to do this). This has lead me to believe most accounts are fluff accounts who chase metrics instead of meaningful contributions.
> The best way to get someone's password isn't phishing, it's threatening to hit them in the head with a wrench.

Crypto has built much to fend off wrench attacks. Multi-sig vaults, timelocks.

The first line from the article is: "Alexis Ohanian’s ancestors perished during the Armenian genocide and had their assets seized." so I think he has considered the threat of asset seizure by violence.

> When a country plans to seize your assets, the goal should be to leave the country, not remain with hidden cryptos.

Odd dichotomy? A better goal is to leave the country with your unseizable assets, rather than praying that you'll be able to withdraw your account at a time of crisis.

So one problem you end up with is people that won't go to the doctor for preventative care or before issues become worse (and thus more expensive to fix) to save money now.

So we have the concept of a "project", which in retrospect isn't the best name and is way too vague. :) But on our end, a "project" equates to one or two cache SSDs + one or two EC2 instances we're running, depending on whether you've asked for a single platform build or an Intel+Arm multi-platform build.

We do charge $0.05 per minute of build time used, but in theory that $49/mo plan gives you access to up to 20 build machines, if you're building 10 projects at once.

That said, if you already have your own dedicated build cluster / CI setup, you may prefer to just use that! Depot is effectively doing that kind of thing for you if you don't already have your own hosted CI system or would prefer not to orchestrate Docker layer cache.

We will be expanding to more things like SBOMs, container signing, insights and analytics about what's happening inside the builds, but hopefully in more integrated ways, since we control the execution environment itself.
