The thought experiment then is to ask "What mechanisms connect Chinese exports with inflation?"

To get a better understanding of that, one might "rewind" time to look back at what those containers were carrying when there was a container shortage.

Since containers are a mechanism for moving goods, one might look at supply and demand of goods to try to understand what that relationship is.

Historically, when supplies are tight, retailers order the same order from multiple suppliers in the hope that one of them will come through. This typically results in adding production capacity to meet this "shadow" demand (there are orders for 300 widgets but the retailer on the other end really only wants 100 widgets, they have just ordered 100 from three different distributors who each passed on that order to the factory).

When the factories ramp up to cover that shadow demand, they put a lot of product into the distribution channel but retailer cancels their other two orders after one is filled. As a result there is now 2x the "demand" level sitting in distribution. The next time the retailer orders, their orders are satisfied out of existing stock.

Until the distributors have worked through this "excess" they don't order anything from the factories and the factories have nothing to do and don't need to ship anything so the containers sit there empty.

This "boom" and "bust" cycle is an oscillation that occurs in systems that are not critically damped (a term from systems analysis). During the 2020/2021 years a lot of demand was unmet and we had the "supply chain crisis." Once things ramped up, it is expected to have an "over supply" crisis.

Physical keyboards are at a near optimum for symbolic input, for the same reason that many musical instruments are operated by keys, and the standard interface for entering notes is a (musical) keyboard. Due to how our fingers work and having ten of them, this is the most efficient and precise way for humans to enter symbolic information.

Show HN: Chat Box – Fabrice Bellard's ts_server with ChatGPT-generated front end
This is a project I hacked together in an evening. I just thought I'd share the results with others because I was really impressed by the final product given the time budget and my lack of experience in frontend world. I can definitely say that it would take me multiple days to achieve the same level of readiness in case of the usual read docs/books/google approach.

To me it feels like a paradigm shift in terms of being able to try to kickstart new projects from a concept to idea with the help of ChatGPT in cases when, for example, you don't have enough knowledge in a certain domain for your PoC.

Admittedly, given the same do-it-quick approach, certain aspects of this project could be re-implemented entirely without ChatGPT just googling for solutions to pretty much solved problems. But to me it feels like the difference is in the speed with which you acquire a relatively stable and tested solution for the problem you're describing in a prompt in case of ChatGPT vs Google searches for various common solutions for the underlying building blocks of your general idea.

Companies hate any skills set that can hold them hostage in the long run. Today that is the need for programming skills which is why salaries are so high. But the moment that a replacement for most programmers occurs, whether automation, AI, or zero code needed, employers will dump programmers before they can compile their last line of code successfully. In essence, this is the golden age for programming and the cliff could be just over the horizon.
It doesn't strike me as being much of a leap from what we have already, certainly not compared with traveling to the stars.

I usually argue for using C/C++ when the intent is talking about C and C++, after all we used to have "The C/C++ Users Journal".

However programming a Redis clone in C/C++ is definitly not something that happens, it is either C or C++, and if it is in the common subset compiled by compilers of both languages, there are definitly better ways to express it.

Steve Jobs famously wanted to hire people that weren't just good programmers but people with serious and passionate side hobbies and pursuits (music, art, poetry etc.)

Have a broader awareness of things, of other arts, of history, of other crafts must make you better in the area of your core competence in some way I must imagine. For a computer programmer at Apple who is going to be designing a macbook, it's probably better that he have some inkling of what that machine's enduser would be doing with it. Is he going to be making music? Spending a lot of time watching political videos on youtube? Having insight into people, into other crafts will let him make a better machine.

Skills transfer across domains all around, sometimes wholesale and other times in small subtle ways. I was always stunned, for example, in reading Einstein's essays on subjects others than physics. His writings on politics, music, religion etc. reveal a man of tender awareness and care. Would he have gone on to develop the theory of relativity if he had not read works of Immanuel Kant? Leonardo da Vinci, Donald Knuth, Archimedes, the examples are aplenty for accomplished figures who had their hand in many jars.

>> Yes, and last week the backstop was 30B CHF. So why did they increase that by more than 3x within days? Makes no sense other than UBS finally looked at the books and freaked out.

There were likely internal (to CS) marks based on assumptions. The assumptions may have assumed baseline market conditions. External parties came in and didnt want to assume baseline market conditions and/or didnt agree with the assumptions, so they were changed to more conservative figures, and new marks came out. The new marks were significantly lower. They have veto power over the deal and the government was forced to backstop to make the deal happen.

You're getting downvoted a lot for some reason, but I just thought I'd say that I think this technique has potential.

It'll be fiddly to exploit (like the "undredacter" you linked), but I think you could get a text-recovery PoC going. Try to craft an "ideal scenario" (for an attacker - i.e. ideal censor-bar placement and font size), see if you can exploit it in practice, and build from there.
This reminds me of the story from A Scanner Darkly. One of the characters tells a story about a con artist who was pretending to be a famous con artist. His whole shtick was going around to talk shows recounting how he had played all these outlandish characters and conned people out of all kinds of money, in the end the only character he ever played was that of a con artist.

Maybe that story was based on the Catch Me If you Can guy, but I think possibly not because A Scanner Darkly came out before that movie.

Of course, what makes you famous is how good is your "reality distortion field". No one buys "facts", people buy "stories".

Steve Jobs never really invented anything but he knew how to play the role.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" also invented most of the stuff in the movie/book but he knew how to play the role.

Buffalo Bill was just an exhibitionist showman that never did anything heroic but he knew how to pretend it.

And Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, ...

> Basically unless you grow food the city folks would be economically better off if you didn't exist.

"Basically, if we didn't need to eat, we'd be better off of our digestive system didn't exist."

What a hilariously strange world view. There are comparative advantages for both urban and rural areas, and both are vitally important.

Urban areas optimize for concentration of labor. Rural areas optimize for land-and-resource-dependent operations.

You won't build a successful large scale R&D lab in a small farm town, but you also won't build a successful mining operation in downtown LA.

(Also as an addendum, there are so many industries dependent on land and resources other than just agriculture).

I’m not sure how Streisand effect is relevant here. Sufficiently large backstop removes panic because if the govnmt backstops enough there can’t be a loss for depositors. It’s always a balance between safety of depositors and liability of the government. But increasing backstop just ensures that depositors are ever safer.

Some things fall into the "obvious" category, users should just know them, and it's not 100% on Bitwarden to make the world a safe place.

Is it a good idea to leave your password on a piece of paper under your keyboard? No, and you shouldn't need Bitwarden to tell you that.

Is it a good idea to use your name and date of birth as a password? No, and this should be obvious, not something Bitwarden needs to educate you about.

Is it safe to rely on a 4 digit PIN? Obviously not, when there are only 10000 possible combinations. You shouldn't need Bitwarden to tell you that though.

Are there people out there who do need this education? Of course. But that's a job for someone with infinite patience and understanding. Not some words on a web page from a supplier.

Case in point, my step dad belonged to a "computers for elders" group and one day he learned about antivirus software. Next time I watched him, he was googling for anti virus software and downloading any he could find, from anywhere on the internet. He ended up with 6 different AV packages, some very dubious looking indeed. I tried to explain the dangers but he couldn't understand how antivirus could actually harm his computer. And he was a practicing doctor of medicine before retirement. It really highlighted the challenges of protecting some people in the brave new digital world.
Sorry but this is such an HN comment. It manages to simultaneously make everything about money, basically position things in the context of Big Tech, and assume that your specific undergraduate degree charts your career.

For the record, I have an ME undergrad (and a grad degree that's basically material science) and while I've mostly only used my direct classwork a bit, I've done fine.
It's just insurance for your own account though. You pay to insure your car and you pay to insure your bank account.

As long as bank regulations are reasonably strict that this happens as infrequently as it does, ultimately having depositors foot the bill doesn't seem problematic.

It's more appropriate than taxpayers generally, and it can't be the bank owners because the whole point is they've already been wiped out.
Sounds awesome. A big thing for me would be finding a non-serious group. I just want to have fun.

The email reads like a tantrum, mostly because of one unneeded paragraph. The employee should be fired but the CEO sending a company wide email blast that boils down to "Quit or we'll find you and fire you" is just....bizarre and immature?

If you change the subject line and cut the 3rd paragraph it comes across as pointless but standard corporate nonsense where they feel the need to reiterate common sense stuff and ignore the fact that most people work for money not ideals, but having such a petty line reeks of playground bullshit.

Slightly earlier:

UBS offers to buy Credit Suisse for up to $1B - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35218296
It's far from clear what this buy/bailout does to "end" the crisis. Was the crisis caused by Credit Suisse being too small?

> The plan, negotiated in hastily arranged crisis talks over the weekend, seeks to address a massive rout in Credit Suisse stock and bonds over the past week following the collapse of smaller US lenders. A liquidity backstop by the Swiss central bank failed to end a market drama that threatened to send clients or counterparties fleeing, with potential ramifications for the broader industry.

This makes more sense. It's an attempt to manipulate world financial markets. But if the deal doesn't address the root cause, the same situation will repeat soon enough.

There's also this from a different article:

> The deal caps a highly volatile week for Credit Suisse, most notably on Wednesday when its shares plunged to a record low after its largest investor, the Saudi National Bank, said it wouldn’t invest any more money into the bank to avoid tripping regulations that would kick in if its stake rose about 10%.

So maybe there's something to be gained by making UBS/CS bigger. It allows investment by other private parties that would have otherwise triggered onerous provisions.
I have an MBA and a CS degree so responses like this make me chuckle. I generally don't bother to engage with those with an MBA-phobia who haven't done it themselves.
Writing by hand is just slower, so it gives more time to think.

Jotting and doodling, on the other hand, is important to improve thinking, from my experience. It's just mostly not about text.
I'm using Nix now on my macOS installs, so I might not be totally correct the current situation. But yeah, I believe most of those sorts of issues have gone away with the new prefix.

There's still some weird annoyances for me, though. For example, it's still intended for single-user mode only. The best solution I came up with was to create a separate user for Homebrew and then basically alias `brew` to `sudo -H -u homebrew brew`.

And generally, if you attempt to use a non-standard prefix, such as in your home directory, packages will have to be built from source. I understand why, but it sucks because this means when you need x86-only packages via Rosetta, you're stuck with the old `/usr/bin` prefix, unless you want to and can build from source.

Also, in general, maintaining multiple prefixes/architectures is annoying too. I wish the default command allowed me to just pass `--arch amd64/arm64` or something when installing packages
Cooling a gigawatt-class reactor like that? - not a chance

A 10kW reactor - easily; a very limited amount of engineering to design a heat distribution system will be required, but 10kW is also not enough for anything useful.

I suppose the future of Moon energy will be in megawatt-class reactors, which are still possible to cool like that, but provide enough heat+energy to be useful for colonies.

What just happened? On Friday CS was borrowing money from the Swiss national bank to buy back it's own debt and their stock seemed stable. They had just published a quarterly report showing a 14.1% CET1 ratio. Why sell at less than half Friday's closing price? Was a bank run in progress?
Microsoft only has itself to blame. They reset the ecosystem 3 times. First with Windows Phone 7 (no backwards-compatibility with Windows Mobile 6 and prior), then with Windows Phone 8, and finally with Windows 10.

If you're already struggling to get developer mindshare, the last thing you should be doing is making backwards-incompatible changes every other year and force everyone to start from scratch.

A Facebook phone would have many problems, but I'm sure they would at least not be as stupid as Microsoft was.

Basically there are no unusual signs.

There is no trick that gives you information if person is lying that gives out on the spot. As much as pop-culture would like some eye movement or what not.

Only thing that gives away lies is cross examination and asking multiple times about the same thing in a slightly different way.

After asking 10 or 20 times about the same thing you might see that things don’t add up. It might be easier if you have 2 or more people making stuff up because if you separate them they will lie in a different way.

Of course there are also people so bad at lying that will give out at first interrogation…

I just climb them regardless when no kids are around.
I remember a couple of decades ago when my brother was working for JPMC. At the time they were an amalgamation of 13 or so large regional banks. They maintained the systems and the departments (like IT, etc) for all of the separate banks and had long-term plans to unify everything that never made any progress. Each banks' departments realized that if they did the work laid out for them that the axe was to follow so they all delayed and delayed and delayed and fought with each other for relevance.

My brother was brought in to work exclusively on backups and to wrangle 13 different IT teams doing backups into compliance. They made sure that he didn't get his laptop to start doing his job for a full six months. Every department's backups failed every day. Every department had excuses for not being able to do the remediation work. After a couple of years of collecting a paycheck and making no progress he left and used the money to start his own business.

I still wonder how much progress they have made to this day.
They haven’t abandoned QT yet, Treasuries mature twice a month, mid month and end. Last week 7.1 billion in 3 year notes rolled off which was the only asset scheduled. There is a larger roll off end of month.

The “QE” money on the books is a loan as of right now which isn’t QE.

Now will QT continue? Probably not, we’re hitting a liquidity floor. I see rate hikes may continuing though.
