> and one that claims untold billions of dollars at US gas stations, and many multiples of that amount at european ATMs

I’m interested in why you think this - from everything I can find US card fraud rates are at a minimum 10x compared to the EU.

The way the US makes payments seems very insecure/backwards, with a lack of chip and pin, relying on signatures and even using cheques still.

A 10x reduction in fraud by using basic measures other countries have adopted seems sensible.

Decrying them because there is no perfect system and “anyone can remember a pin” is a call to keep the status quo and the fraud that comes with it.
You can solve your immediate problem by buying them, but trust me. You're going to make a LOT more money selling them.
> QE is no strings attached money injected into the market.

Um what? How does the Fed inject no strings attached money into “the” market?
When you give to 300+ million people extra cash to spend, you have inflation, yes.

I am not arguing that “before” it was better for the “little guys”, I am just making an observation.

You can affect the economy with fiscal policy (what our politicians/government does) and monetary policy (the central bank). Turns out monetary policy didn’t cause inflation to rise as much, as the previous 13 years demonstrate, but it was caused by liberal fiscal policy after Covid (all those points that I mentioned + supply chain bottlenecks).

The fact that our government blames the Fed is just scapegoating. They messed up big time, and acted quickly in such a way that they were not able to coordinate properly (rates should have gone up in light of liberal fiscal policies being implemented). These two entities don’t work and collaborate well together, and hindsight is 20/20.
Not sure where you're getting your stats from. In both US and Canada this isn't true.

There are an estimated 43,780 deaths attributable to breast cancer and 34,500 to prostate cancer in the US for 2022[0] and 5555 vs 4600 respectively in Canada. This is spite of aggressive screening and early treatment vs not really for prostate cancer.

I don't get your point. We are a diverse crowd.

Personally, I've lived what is pretty close to the highlight of single life (dating on NYC, traveling to 20-30 countries a year, etc) and now am a boring but super happy suburban dad of 2 (and hoping for more) - you don't think someone like me can offer an insight on what works and why?
Dow futures rise more than 100 points after UBS buys Credit Suisse
Let's entertain the possibility that China wasn't responsible for a lab leak, and that the zoonotic theory is true. Whatever the source, we know that the Wuhan wet market was a super-spreader event, which Chinese authorities concede. Following this, China grounded all domestic flights in January 2020, yet still allowed outbound international flights well into March 2020. Countries were left to ban flights from China on their own, which was a heavily politicized topic.

We can say that we don't have enough information to condemn them and all other countries involved in the lab leak theory, but this one mistake is solely on China's shoulders. Had they grounded all outbound international flights, countries would've had more time to prepare, yet we saw the meteoric rise in cases worldwide in February.

I think hindsight might've clouded your assessment of the attitude during the time pre-HK crackdown.

It was originally a time of optimistic hope that China would become more and more democratic, and the integration of HK back to the mainland will not have been hard (at least, china would meet somewhere in the middle).
I think the plan is the banks use these 90 days to sell their less liquid assets that aren't as effected by the interest rate increase. In the end, even being insolvent isn't actually a death knell for banks as long as depositors believe the money will be paid back, which is why the government is putting so much effort into reassuring that 0 deposits will be lost.

Also half the money was literally just to pay back SVB and signature deposits while they unwind their book. Once everything is sold the other FDIC member banks will have to pony up any extra cash to pay the loans back.
I was vegetarian for a while and then vegan for a whole year. I understand where you're coming from but it's simply not healthy for most people to go without any animal products in their diets, especially for growing children and those who cannot consume hight amounts of fiber (crohns disease). Perhaps the tax breaks enjoyed by the beef and dairy industries should be removed, but most sources of animal protein are remarkable environmentally friendly--farmed fishing is far less carbon intensive than almost all plant-based sources of protein[1]. Once you look at the facts of the matter, veganism has more to do with how someone feels about harming animals than actually helping the environment: most vegans still eat a lot of heavily processed foods, drive cars, fly on planes, have most of their food and consumer goods delivered to them via trucking. These are not issues that can be solved on an individual level but systemic and society wide problems that need to be addressed with public policy. No individual(s) are to be blamed. It is a collective, social responsibility.

Ruby's Queue structure to push work, and Thread for spinning up workers based on the number of cores on the machine. Main thread would push all commands to run to the Queue, followed by ${N} shutdown hints, and ${N} Threads would pick them off in a while loop that would only stop when it saw a shutdown command. Once the last thread consumed the last shutdown hint, all threads were done and the script would exit. This was barely one step beyond a bash script that backgrounded all tasks at once and swamped a host until it slowly finished up.
Maybe employers will have to stop freeriding on the degree signal and instead put actual effort into hiring. That would not be a great tragedy in my opinion.
No, that’s not true. Rapid change is possible. Majority of world is only 7 connections part, given enough social pressure, it will stop. Having simple messaging is critical, such as if you eat meat, not talking to you, buying from you, voting for you, etc.

One thing that would be useful though is a super cheap test to check if someone has eaten meat recently.

There is weak evidence to support testing over 70 due to increasing risks of biopsy/treatment and no evidence to support improved overall mortality.

Some guidelines suggest that it's reasonable to continue in patients with >10-15 year life expectancy if the patient desires, but there is no strong recommendation or evidence to support this recommendation or screening in this age group.

Some guidelines actually have a strong recommendation to stop screening men with < 15 year life expectancy.

Even less evidence for a DRE. PSA by a GP is sufficient if you desire screening.
You're right that many foods, processed ones, are much more expensive than animal based ones despite them being more energy and land resource intensive.

But most vegan foods are the cheapest ones in the supermaket ... I mean raw rice, beans, lentils, vegetables. If you cook that soup yourself, it won't cost more than a bag of lentils, 1-2 onions, veggie stock, few potatoes, salt, pepper, and 20 minutes in pressure cooker (I've done it today :) Delicious too, and you've got 5l of soup for ... 3 USD?

I don't think there's any allegory at all. The Civil War is a bleak backdrop, a reminder of brotherhood turned to hatred and the impending threat of death and so forth, but it's not much more than that. It's connected to the story by aesthetics and by mood rather than by plot or by meaning.

A bond bought by a bank in the past at a lower interest rate than those offered today is worth less than those offered today.

If the fed values those bonds at face value (rather than what the market would pay today) and allows the bank to borrow money using those as collateral, then a bank could simply borrow from the fed using the older less valuable bonds as collateral and then buy new more valuable bonds.

The bank could then default on the loan and forfeit the original less valuable bond.

This would effectively be the fed giving free money to the bank.

Have to second this - a fantastic idea unfortunately marred by very poor control responsiveness.

Sibling comments are correct, on review, that it seems you can work around it by holding down in advance.

Unfortunately by the time I verified that I had run out of time since I spent most of what I had trying to make it work on my own before returning to the thread to offer this feedback.

Personally, I think the idea is good enough that I will try to return on desktop later when I have time… but for the devs - if you read this - you could really enable a lot more people to get a lot further in this presumably great creative experience if you made the controls respond better on mobile.
Yes, I understand what you're trying to say. It's not unique or new, everytime a tech bro is told how an LLM actually works this is the goalpost they immediately move to.

While it might be good for a non-technical essay, for technical matters, it has a bad habit of spewing nonsense, both in answers and citations. Professor Alex Wellerstein (of Nukemap fame) gives two anecdotes highlighting their issues.

1. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/11u21ie/the_...

An anecdote, but I recently was asked to review the essay of a student who I had not taught. I became highly suspicious it had been generated by ChatGPT, because it had the "feel" of its output. The clincher was that it had an entire page of references... all of which were fake. They all looked plausible, and even had URLs. But not one of them was accurate, and all of the URLs were dead, and all investigation made it clear there references had never existed. I was somewhat amazed, both at the gall of a chatbot inventing fake references, and for the student who clearly did not click on even one of the generated links, yet had still asked for an essay re-grade!!

2. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/11u21ie/the_...

One experiment I ran with it recently was to ask it about the RIPPLE, which is a nuclear weapon design that was tested in the 1960s. The details of the RIPPLE are not public, but the fact of its existence, who invented it, and its testing are, as well as the some very broad pieces of information about it. Anyway, I repeatedly asked ChatGPT how the RIPPLE worked, and why it was called the RIPPLE, and every time it gave me a totally new and contradictory answer, freely making it up each time. After giving me maybe 6 different answers in a row it then noticed it was giving me contradictions, and from that point onward claimed that the most recent answer was correct. I was impressed at how inconsistent it was, that you could just ask it the same thing over and over again and it would just make new things up each time. The only consistency it gave me was wrong: it repeatedly emphasized that the design was entire hypothetical and never tested, which is false (it was tested at least four times).

In a separate exchange, I asked it to ask me a question, and when (for whatever reason) I told it I was interested in nuclear weapons, it began to lecture me on how this was a topic that should be left to experts. I then told it I was an expert, and it then started lecturing me on how an expert on this topic ought to behave and think. It almost seemed defensive. I thought it was pretty rich — an impressive mansplaining simulator, indeed.

> Otherwise you are either completely devoid of advice or you only get advised by someone who is selling you something.

Alternatively, maybe you don't need any unsolicited advice and can make your own decisions.
Things gotta change sometimes. Can't pretend work and testing are all genuine and can't pretend we have a clue when it isn't.

Maybe it doesn't scale with the current structure, but maybe that needs to change. Granted, I don't pretend that will be easy.
Disagree. “Hack” typically implies malicious intent so it kind of does matter. “Leak” probably would have been more appropriate since this appears to have been the result of negligence rather than malice.
We're not talking past each other, you're just embarrassed.
Do you have data to back this up, or is it your hypothesis?
This is such bogus malarky. How is it possible to seriously write an article like this without once mentioning money, from what I saw.

The value of the money commodity today is not tied to productivity. How much effort does it take to make a dollar? And how does this effect its relative value to all other commodities.

And so of course the amount of the "money" commodity needed for a given piece of work can change without the productively of a given piece of work changing based on the independent value change of said money commodity.
> trying to stop me from stealing your art is malicious

Yep, this is exactly the kind of take I'd expect from the AI crowd.
As opposed to your pro-WL propaganda that is blatantly false? Yes, what you describe is how I and I think many others generally viewed wikileaks up to 2016. With the DNC email leak, that changed:

https://www.theregister.com/2016/07/22/wikileaks_keep_fighti...

One example news story of many...

As to the RNC hack, I never said wikileaks had anything but the RNC was hacked and whatever was found was never released by the hacking organization. Whether this is intentional or just because what was found was not interesting or too old to matter, just the story circulating added to the perception wikileaks had changed.

Burglary is bad whether a human or some kind of a robot does it. There's nothing wrong with an art school taking students to a museum to look at established artists' work. Isn't training AI on existing art the equivalent of that? If so, why does it being AI instead of human make it bad? If not, what's the difference?
Agreed. Seems to really depend on the person. It came highly recommended to me by a family member, describing it as good and funny.

I found it absolutely not funny, very strange, and didn't like any of it one bit. Shame, because I really like most of what both leads do.
I do like your analogy. Here is another:

If smoking led to the patient’s heart attack and the patient is still smoking on the hospital bed, I think it is justified for the doctor to tell the patient to stop smoking.
Correct. When someone writes software they’re not trying to spam people, save for the edge cases when they’re writing spamming software.

How is this not an obvious distinction?
> Humans parrot points they heard on HN all the time too.

A recent Reddit post discussed something positive about Texas. The replies? Hundreds, maybe thousands, of comments by Redditors, all with no more content than some sneering variant of "Fix your electrical grid first", referring to the harsh winter storm of two years ago that knocked out power to much of the state. It was something to see.

If we can dismiss GPT as "just autocomplete", I can dismiss all those Redditors in the same way.
Under previous policy, the Fed would lend only against the market value of an asset. The FMV of a long-term bond declines when interest rates increase, so that didn't help. This is roughly how the SVB failed.

Under new policy, for the next year, the Fed will lend against the par value of certain assets purchased before the crisis. That's an undercollateralized loan, so it's a subsidy to banks that took excessive interest rate risks. Those banks are still worse off than if they hadn't taken that risk though, since the interest cost of the loan is greater than the interest paid by the asset.

This policy change has no direct cost to the public if the loans are repaid. If a bank gets such a loan and then fails anyways, some losses will be socialized.

You are uninformed. The fed facility discussed in the post is the discount window, a century old program.

The new facility is the Bank Term Funding Program. It won't be revealed how much this facility is used for a year.

It's interesting how many Mastodon users talk about small groups as one of the main selling points, because it's something most platforms do very well actually, yes even Twitter. Discord is another very popular place for small groups to connect, and do so meaningfully and without drama.

The real problem, and where Mastodon has been tested numerous times on and failed, is scaling to larger groups. When people aren't under direct social pressure at all times to play nice and fair. There just aren't enough tools available to counteract this on Mastodon, most places just rely on shared blocklists. There are very good reasons why shadow banning became a thing, but that's a lesson to be learned down the line.

For now, the fact that Mastodon in general isn't all that widely used is its strongest asset. Everything else stems from this but will not last long.
There was already a wave of people considering, planning and did actually leave pre-1997 and around that time. A few did go back to HK afterwards when things looked better but left again due to the current issues.

I don't know who was optimistic. The West? Definitely not those in HK. It was a time when anti-China sentiment was high and supported by the media, artists, etc as the trend (vs the crackdown now). There were songs and campaigns supporting those that wanted freedom. Learnt from history many of the older generation that have witnessed the war and after knew of how CCP and army worked.

No 1 wanted a death sentence either. Those have worked in the mainland know the "law" doesn't exist as it does in the West (including HK at the time). Gang activity vastly dropped post-1997 because of a fear of the death sentence. A lot of them and their money left for other countries.
