> The reserve bank governor is deeply unpopular in the broader public because of 2021 comments he made about there being no interest rate increases needed until 2024 [1].

He never said that. Actual primary source -- https://archive.md/uE4g3:

> ... This is the basis for our assessment that the cash rate is very likely to remain at its current level until at least 2024.

That statement is preceded by quite a long analysis, and discussion. His assessment was wrong obviously. He deserves flak for not being wise enough to not make such a strong assertion. But ... he never said unequivocally "no increases until 2024". It's quite frustrating seeing the media bludgeon those words into his mouth.

Ableist because you assume that either the effort of getting the chair / desk / monitor adjusted correctly is trivial, or the consequences of not adjusting are minimal.

Presumably you think this is "whack" because you feel it's unfair that companies are making more in revenue without a corresponding increase in expenses. What about the reverse situation? ie. there is an oversupply/demand collapse, prices go down, but their input expenses stay the same so they make less money. We're seeing this in the semiconductor industry. Should we stand with them in solidarity by continuing to pay pre-collapse prices, and have internet commentators point out how it's "whack" for them to rake in less money even though their expenses hasn't dropped?
That is a great reply! Certainly showed everyone who was smarter.
Also to mention, illegal evidence and evidence collected by committing a crime are two separate concepts. The former refers to a violation of evidential procedures.
I think the OP is suggesting that there’s a “natural” market price that was perturbed by an extraordinary and temporary event, but that skewed/irrational customer perceptions and market inefficiencies let current sellers milk that perturbation for longer than the original disruption would theoretically warrant. And that this behavior can become a ratcheting change that drives price inflation entirely through profit-taking.

I’m sure there’s developed economic theory around this phenomenon and more sophisticated language than they used, but it felt like they got the point across.

The decision to have named error handling scopes on a stack with an asynchronous API feels truly bizarre to me. Now if I write async code that wants to interact with error scopes, I need some sort of complex helper library that manages pushing and popping scopes off the stack and forwarding the results to me, because I don't have any way to pop the specific scope I pushed directly.

Applying the same reasoning to casinos: “Casinos may make gamblers more impulsive. It’s still their responsibility to recognize that bias and work against it. If they truly want to financially secure, at least.” It seems a little heartless to me. Casinos are big powerful institutions with lots of resources to spend on crafting psychological exploits to make gamblers more impulsive, and we don’t fully blame gamblers for this - we regulate casinos pretty intensely, provide services to help gambling addicts, etc. The problem is more acute in this domain too, since dating apps have more of a monopoly on dating than casinos have on money.

I do agree with you that if she did have less judgment, some of those 100+ men would have been great partners. She mentions a French economist she dated who said “if he was going to be sent to a deserted island and had to choose between me and “someone gorgeous,” of course he would choose me, because I would be more interesting to talk to forever and he could still have sex with me too. But in the real world, surrounded by other people who’d be looking at him-with-me, he knew he would feel ashamed of me because he could have been with a more beautiful woman.” This mixture of acceptance and rejection may have just been his way of softening the blow of his rejection of her, but it may have also been his awkward unromantic way of saying “I will settle for you”. Willingness to settle like that might be the model we have to adapt to survive a dating market warped by high-powered dating apps.

Is this a taste of what's to come from the latest wave of hyper-successful and hyper-educated women outpacing men in everything outside of suicides and incarceration? Their standards can understandably no longer be met by the mating marketplace, they refuse to settle because they know their theoretical worth, and the markets keep not clearing. What an interesting historic time.

Here's the conversation I read.

>>> Asian societies turned population control into a quasi-religious endeavor in the 1960s and are now paying the price

>> What kind of population control did Japan engage in in the
60s?

> Your response about no prescription abortions and birth control but instead doctors push abortions.

I'm totally missing your point about how Japan is engaging in population control. For example, if prescription abortions were legal and they pushed birth control instead, is the net effect a meaningful change in policy that would prevent them from "now paying the price"? I guess I'm totally missing how your criticism of their policies relates back to the original discussion that Japan's low birth rates are a result of population control and how addressing the critique you wrote would in any way change their birth rate.

i think maybe the LLM team at facebook was bummed out because twitter bullied them on their last public release (and they didn't ignore it), and this time they decided to sit down and nerd flex by doing some undeniably excellent performance work that reduces resource requirements by 10x and limits itself only to publicly available training data.

maybe they care about moats and elon muskcrosoft's closedai or whatever, but i kinda doubt it. again, it feels more like a nerd flex probably for the purposes of raising morale internally and pushing the field as a whole in a good direction by reducing resource requirements.

I actually quite like classical music, but there are times I really don’t want to listen to a solo violin performance. On the way to the subway would almost certainly be one those times. Another such time is tonight, when I immediately had to mute my phone sound when that video started.
I remember watching the WaPo videos of this experiment back when it happened. It's really hard to draw any kind of conclusion from it other than "context matters". First, nobody expects a famous violinist busking in the subway, and we know that our brain runs on its own expectations most of the time. Second, he was playing Bach's Chaconne, which is a masterpiece, but one that's less well known and less "impressive" sounding to the casual listener. Something like the Four Seasons would have probably attracted a lot more attention. Third, a number of people did notice him, and one lady even recognized him because she had been to one of his concerts recently. A few other people also did notice his skill level was unusually high. So the result is pretty much what you'd expect. To me, it wasn't so much an experiment as just a kind of silly but fun stunt.

Independent doctors are the last bastion of free market mechanism in healthcare.

Insurance may set the amount to pay. But Doctors set the terms of the relationship. Doctors know they don't have to accept crumbs. Doctors are free to reject (and some already do) insurance payments, and also are the only real supplier in the ecosystem positioned to push downward pressure on pricing, particularly vs hospital pricing.

If independent doctors go down, the whole ship goes down.
Not to get all nerdy, but there's a couple missing variables: water temperature and evenness of extraction. Water temperature is pretty easy. For light roasts brew hot, almost boiling. For dark, brew a little cooler, maybe 88-90 degrees. Evenness is really the key. Now depending on your method you can do all sorts of rituals whether it's using some super thin needles to rake your coffee in your portafilter to remove clumps (WDT) or pouring careful concentric circles into your V60. But the easiest answer is to eliminate the variable by brewing with immersion. I'm a huge fan of the Hario Switch, but you could just as easily use an Aeropress, a Clever brewer or a good old french press. If you do immersion, steep for a reasonable amount of time (2 minutes on a Switch works well) and adjust the grind according to your taste buds (too bitter -> grind coarser, too sour -> grind finer), you'll be in the ballpark of good coffee very quickly.
This could be consequential for a number of diseases.

The WebGPU API is "asynchronous" in the sense that it schedules work to happen later on the GPU (like all GPU APIs), but the function calls are mostly not `async` at the JavaScript level in the sense that they don't return Promises and you don't `await` them.

Yeah this. There's often a presumption like "I'm a very talented software engineer and everyone should want to hire me and thus companies shouldn't design a hiring process that I personally find annoying."

Aeropress a month in. It is the most overhyped ridiculous nonsense. Uninteresting. Flabby. No body.

Everything else is better. Nothing beats espresso. French press is my daily go to. In every possible way aeropress is over complicated compared to French press.

It is possible to get ok coffee with an aeropress. Make it more like French press. Courser grind. Longer steep time.

I guess the pour over fans are ok with aeropress because it's simultaneously inferior and over complicated. And yet is familiar by being excessively filtered.

I’m very curious. When developing software I do /try/ to make it accessible. But sometimes I think certain things, there’s no point in making accessible because a blind person wouldn’t be able to use it. But this is my ignorance of not understanding how people who are blind consume information.

Are there things I can do better when developing software to assist with blindness?

Ah, this was pretty tiring. Couldn't read the whole thing, but the book she was quoting from was probably the worst part. E.g. this quote is especially upsetting and dumb:

> Men have not been compelled to use sexuality as a leverage to receive social and economic resources and thus have no reason to implicate their whole self in sexuality

What if these people would care to read a bit of biology (like etology, evolution) and also evolutionary psychology? The claim in the quote is kind of 100% upside down. The reality is something like: "Men have been compelled to use their economic and social resources as a leverage to receive sex and thus have a very strong reason to implicate their whole self in work (or any other way available to acquire these)"

Because this is how it works. But even if we disregard the evolutionary dynamic the base claim is false: women aren't compelled to use sexuality to receive social or economic resources in modern Western societies. They can, you know work. And actually most of them do. This was (is) one of the most fundamental goals of feminism. While you could argue that the author simply depicts women as helpless prostitutes.

Now it's true that most women/women on average will chose men who are financially and (or?) socially are at least on par with them, preferably having a higher status/salary/earning potential. (And this is has been observed in a wide range of societies according e.g. to David Buss [1].) And that preference is what makes men 'compelled' to compete hard for the economic and social resources. (BTW, this is, I think, at least one of the reasons behind men having higher salaries and roles.)

So again, the reality seems to be the exact opposite of what the quote from book says. (And no, I'm not blaming women at all.)
