Comparing USA single digit inflation to Argentina and Venezuela is quite far fledged. Instead of destroying peoples’ livelihoods with interest rate hikes maybe the government can opt for trying to fix supply problems and improve efficiency, which will tame inflation in the long term. For example, they can reverse the deglobalization movement by signing new free trade agreements with developing nations, they can reduce or eliminate the validity of patent laws which will allow for cheaper products to be produced, they can negotiate an end to the war and remove all obstacles from the extraction and trade of natural resources. All of these policies will lower inflation while increasing employment, a win-win-win situation.

I'm dubious about the NSA use cases and most of the US defense policy establishment seems to agree. Most of those types of use cases are pathologically fixated on provability and traceability on why an inference was made programmatic "i reckon" is largely useless in the context of anything important. The problems there remain processing complex data accurately and quickly.
Yeah this is one of those stories that if you really feel like it's worth telling so that people can understand the experience of trans kids and what it's like as a parent you need to contact a journalist who knows how to do this right so they can tell the story in a way that can't be traced back to you or your child. The very last thing someone who's trans needs is to have a spotlight shoved in their face involuntarily.

I actually do work in the space of telling the stories of trans folks (although not involving kids because obviously) and even with adults we still take crazy precautions. I push hard even when we get someone who doesn't want to be anonymous because you can't put that cat back in the bag and being a google search from being outed will haunt you if you ever want to "go stealth."

>Apex Storage doesn't reveal the inner details of the X21

did they test it or reprint press release?

ah

>The AIC has an average read and write access latency of 79us and 52us

that doesnt make sense unless its additional latency of controller or they ship it populated with drieves.

>However, Apex Storage didn't expose the type of RAID arrays. The X21 also flaunts "enterprise-grade reliability," NVMe 2.0 support, advanced EEC, data protection, and error recovery. Apex Storage didn't reveal the pricing or availability for the X21.

so only revealed performance figures and pictures

You had to read fine print to realized its just a m.2 stand requiring proper 16 port SATA controller to function. It still hasnt shipped to this day. Im mildly optimistic.
This looks really interesting for a simple way to build a rudimentary but full-featured webapp, for example for the intranet.

I think Tesla is suffering from a lack of management employees/skill to be able to release products faster.

As soon as they had the model 3 out of the door, they should have started the development in parallel of a few goods vehicles, a pick up truck, an offroad vehicle, and a few micro cars too.

They should have sped through the design stages, used common and off the shelf parts, and got them to market in 2 years.

Then, any model that sells well you redesign 'tesla style' (ie. vertically integrated, nearly every part heavily optimized for cost & performance), and re-release.
Hypocrisy? Banks have already proven their recklessness time and time again. Glass Steagall was enacted to prevent yet another Great Depression. Unless all the VCs are fintech bros, I don’t see anything hypocritical.

The focus should be why Dodd Frank was watered down and neutered including placing the blame where it belongs. Most of the VCs in this case were just customers.

This definition easily encompasses the people who post their kids' lives for no monetary gain,which is the vast majority of social media users. A lot of the people in their 20s who share every detail of their life on social media continue to do so once they have kids.
These shareholders were presumably diversified. They lost money on this but will make money elsewhere. They certainly would not be totally broke ... unless management was incompetent, which is a whole different kettle of fish.

Is this because averages are weighed less (less sensitive) as the total sample size increases?
It would have been worse than that by Y Combinator's estimation. 100,000 only gets into the number of small business and startup jobs that would have been affected.

> In the Y Combinator community, one-third of startups with exposure to SVB used SVB as their sole bank account. As a result, they will fail to have the cash to run payroll in the next 30 days. By that measure, we can estimate that payroll-related furlough or shutdown will impact more than 10,000 small businesses and startups. If the average small business or startup employs 10 workers, this will have an immediate effect of furlough, layoff, or shutdown, affecting over 100,000 jobs in the most vibrant sector of innovation in our economy.

It's better in the sense that equity getting wiped out is normal and would be something Alecta planned for the possibility of.
I don't think so given that any Apple device will try to pull the user into the whole Apple world which has turned a sizeable portion of the potential market off from buying (nearly) anything Apple. The same is true for Facebook (by whatever name they think they can whitewash their reputation now), some - me among them - will not touch anything tied to their 'services' with a barge pole. Google's reputation as a data parasite also turns off a significant portion of the population, as does Microsoft's less than stellar reputation.

In the end there will be several competing VR/AR systems which each target their own section of the market while more or less being off-limits to others. Those who have bought in to the Church of Apple will naturally flock to anything Apple since not doing so means they are cut off from a sizeable part of their co-religionists. Those who swallowed the Facebook Kool-Aid will blithely walk the path directed by The Company. Those who follow the "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" mantra will have no problems opening up their lives and those of their peers to the Google-alphabet. Those who think that Microsoft really means it this time when they claim to have changed their ways will fall into the same trap as all the others who believed Microsoft all those previous times they made this claim did.

Me? I'll just look from the side, on the lookout for hardware to hack so it does my bidding.

> Like Larry Page and Serguei Brin before him, Moxie Marlinspike built the oppression tool he was initially trying to fight

This hyperbole exposes that the author is out of touch with the real world stakes of mass surveillance which Signal is intended to address.

You are not being oppressed because you can't run Signal on a quirky e-ink phone. Signal isn't broken on your phone because the Signal Foundation wants to exploit you, it's broken because building software is hard and sometimes requires pragmatic compromises.

Yes, decentralization is an important principle, both technically and politically. It's worth advocating for. But it's not the answer to every question ever.
You can regulate the minimum reserves banks have.
In addition to rebuild times its often not possible to interact with symbols in the same way.

For example, in C++ it may not be possible to rerun a snippet of code in the debugger because those sources have been compiled out or not included.

Realistically this means that the interactive user experience is vastly reduced due to the compilation process filtering out and modifying the original code.

OP wants us to work on other languages but its hard to imagine a substantially different language that supports the same kind of user interaction. I guess we could expand on MATLAB or Octave but what would be the benefit from enabling a slightly different syntax? I think realistically the lack of advantage or differentiation from competing languages has made the proposition of contributing to other languages much less appealing.

Compare 76527 unique Lego parts to number of elements in the power set of those 76527 Lego parts — imagine if each combination also had its own skew. That’s the sort of comparison being made — providing simple components and letting the user combine them as they see fit means managing fewer SKUs than otherwise. This logic does not change with respect to the number of simple components — if Framework wanted to provide module for 76527 distinct peripherals, that’s 1 SKU for the laptop plus 76527 SKUs for the modules… which is a lot less than selling 2^76527 distinct laptops for every set of peripherals (leaving aside size constraints, and the fact that many people actually want more than one of the same peripheral).

Additionally, fewer is fewer, regardless of scale. 999,999 of something is fewer than 1,000,000 of something.

So yes, the "Lego approach" would mean fewer SKUs.
I have had a lot of issues with my mini-splits. I am a firm believer in the technology, but my Pioneer units have had a lot of issues. I am glad some innovative companies are getting into this industry. I built a passive house that has triple-framed walls. We don't need much heating/cooling, so mini-splits seemed the obvious answer. Hopefully we get them squared away soon as we have been in the home for 1.5 years and have learned that in the Denver area (zone 5b) they don't perform well when it gets into freezing temperatures. I am interested in the technology you have described (the injection) to keep it heating during really cold days.

> if we want higher education to be about cultivating knowledge and intellect again.

If an individual college wants to get rid of all it's sports programs, or scholarships, or whatever, and decides to do that individually, then they should go ahead.

What they shouldn't do, though, is try and force all the other colleges to do the same thing, with monopolistic agreements.

To repeat, if a individual college wants to not have athletic scholarships, fine.

But no agreement that forces all the other colleges to do the same thing.

Let each college, individually decide how much they want to focus on this, instead of having monopolistic agreements.

Munchausen's by proxy is real, and the consequences of it are at least as damaging as denying children access to medical transition services.

I believe that you have taken the position that this child is really experiencing gender dysphoria, but it's at least an equally plausible scenario that the parents are responsible for that too.

This is a serious hole in the argument for providing gender affirming care to children in an attempt to reduce harm. The trans-activist community is becoming complicit in child abuse when it denies the existence of this problem.

Your point on HVAC companies not servicing homeowner-purchased systems is worth underlining.

> Chomsky's point that we have no basis for judging LLMs as cognition machines because we don't know what cognition is, is correct.

That's not Chomsky's point at all. He's saying they are emphatically not understanding or intelligent in any way, and that's not justified.

> Building these machines may produce useful tools, but it also doesn't advance studies of cognition, either.

I couldn't disagree more. We have here apparently intelligent systems completely unlike naturally occurring ones. IMO, you'd have to be crazy to think that comparing and contrasting the properties of these systems won't provide any valuable data about the nature of intelligence, perception and cognition as a whole.

In fact, we're already seeing papers discussing how LLMs basically refute Chomsky's whole model of language [1].

Technically, you don't even have to get something yourself either. Just requiring the other party to do or not do something is enough even if it doesn't materially benefit you at all.

That's okay - you're not the topic of this article. If you want to trim up and tone because it makes you happy, that's fantastic!

The criticism of "lose weight at any cost necessary" is that people who have been fat their entire lives will get yelled at to lose a significant percentage of their body weight, with very little care given to their actual health.

It's incredibly naive and destructive to assume all extremely fat people got that way because "they eat pizza all the time" and they should simply stop eating so much pizza to fix all of life's problems. If they can't lose the weight it's clearly because they're not trying hard enough.

That's why the discussion around this isn't changing the needle on America's weight gain (or most populations across the Earth). We focus on the thinness of the person before we focus on the health.
