Yes it was.

He was claming "black people commit more crime" is a valid thing to say, that you can't because woke people can't cope with the truth, though he'd probably be upset if someone said "women get paid less than men".

Oh, you're implying they get paid less for the same work, when really they just choose not to be CEOs because they love babies so much, he'd say, because he knows there's a whole bunch of political baggage that goes along with the "fact" that women are paid less.

He's more than smart enough to know what he's doing when he says these things.
Corporations charge more money because people will pay it. People will pay it because there is a lot more money now than before, without a corresponding increase in the amount of stuff/goods/services being produced.

In the face of all this money, corporations can do a few things:

1. Change nothing, allowing the first customers to buy everything and leave shelves empty.

2. Ration, choosing which customers merit being sold to, or restricting the quantity that any particular customer can buy.

3. Raise prices until the pressure is equalized and people don't empty the shelves.

The cost of inputs doesn't matter too much, except to the extent that they might actually reduce production if they aren't able to pass some/all of these costs on with higher prices.
That's ambergris, often called "floating gold" which also comes from sperm whales.

The whaling in Avatar 2 was exceptionally well done IMO. Everything from the hunt (complete with the "nantucket sleigh ride") to a new "liquid gold" and the incredible waste after harvesting are all in line with actual whaling practices.
Funny, I'm still using the nail clipper that I bought in Japan almost 30 years ago and they're the best I've ever owned. They're also not the brand mentioned in the article; I just picked them up in a convenience store (asking in my broken Japanese, "Have you tool to cut fingernails?")

I've never like the cute little cartoon house and sun design printed on the of them, but they're definitely of high quality, and I worry I'll never find as good a pair again.

> raising a kid in private daycares/preK/schools/colleges

The gov doesn’t pay for private education, they provide infrastructure for a free, public education instead. Some cities give vouchers if parents choose public over private but it does not pay the entire tuition.

The actual cost to educate a kid using public infrastructure is average $15.5k/year/student, which brings the total cost per pupil to $186k. Given there’s about 50 million school age children in the US, that puts total cost at $775 billion a year, or a total of $9.3 trillion.

We can easily afford it.

At nearly every turn for 40+ years, our elected officials have made unpragmatic decisions. They push revisionist history and constrain debates to 2 ends of an approved axis of narratives so that people who think outside the box are demonized as fringe. Which is very not meta, and for me one of the great disappointments of the modern era, especially in how it's bamboozled the minds of so many thought leaders in tech.

Is that political? These policies affect our money and work and the trajectories of our lives. Are we supposed to just not seek working solutions anymore because they don't please the status quo? Every win for concentrated wealth is another pressure convincing people to vote against their own self-interest. Which creates the negative feedback loop we're trapped in, where every loss is compounded by further loss, enabling polarizing candidates who sell their vote to the highest bidder to consistently win at the highest levels of government.

It might seem like all Americans are totally fine with invasions, but you have to remember that we form a new government every 2 years and we replace our executive usually every 8 years unless you do something that incenses a lot of Americans. You paint with a pretty broad brush because you're totally ignoring the history of protest for each of these wars. The fact is we're divided as a nation by whether we're comfortable with imperialism. But we're also allowed by law to be divided, which is a big difference.
Yes, many cars with various levels of self-driving are available. Almost every car maker now has basic lane following and adaptive cruise control. Some add navigation, lane changing, and the ability to obey traffic signals. GM has a system called Super Cruise that allows the driver to take their hands off the wheel. Mercedes has Drive Pilot which is the first level 3 self driving system.

Google has not released anything.

> That didn't answer my question.

> Someone who claims that F-droid is not being updated is therefore an unreliable narrator.

It seems like you're trying to invent arguments to get mad at as no-one made this claim. The original commenter said two things, neither of which amounted to "F-droid is not being updated". They said:

1. That they "didn't realize the app was still being worked on" - this is just referring to their own perception of updates, not making any hard claim about actual work being done.

2. That it has "been years since the UI update" - this is referring to one specific large update a number of years ago, not to the small incremental updates since.

There's nothing else in their comment claiming lack of updates.

The main claim in their comment is that it's buggy, which can easily be true of an app with frequent updates.

When I read comments like this, I have a hard time understanding how people come to such wide conclusions.

You do realize there's an enormous percentage of Americans who do have empathy for those that suffer from their country's actions?

It's hard to not simply dismiss comments like this as dishonest, given that this analysis decontextualizes these deaths. What would the consequences be if the US did not help the UN in protecting Korea from a war of aggression? What would the consequences be if the US didn't play a major role in ending European empires post WW2? What would be the consequences for Europe if the US didn't wage a cold war against an aggressive Soviet Union? No one can truly know.
> Passing a driver's test was not possible in 2015 and it's not possible today

My friend moved from Europe to the USA and took a driver's test in California (been driving in Europe since the 1980s).

He tracked the test, he drove a whopping 2 miles (forwards) plus had to reverse about 30 feet.

Commented to me afterwards that "signing the form was the hardest bit" and that "a blind person could probably pass it with the help of a guide dog".

Passing a driving test isn't a proxy for anyone and anything being a good driver anywhere, but it's a good enough proxy for a human being a reasonable driver in the location where they take the test, which is what society has determined acceptible. Acceptible, for a human!

I'm not sure it's useful for us to repeatedly attempting to measure AI's capabilities the same way we measure humans.

To be clear, I am not against the H1B. I am on an H1B myself.

I am opposed to the vagueness around everything having to do with legal immigration. If you want to import the top talent of the world permanently, then make it easy for them to get a Green Card and regain leverage. Let them start startups, let them spend longer durations between jobs so they can figure out that one brilliant idea.

Lots of people exploit the H1b brute-forcing every single grey-area loophole to get here. Many aren't even well-educated. On the other hand, the MIT/Ivy League straight shooters follow the rules and find themselves locked out of any future in this country. Other 1st world nations have fewer immigrants, but the process is transparent, cleaner and has well defined boundaries.

Yes, import the top talent of the world. But the H1b does more to kneecap them than enable them.

The Mutex/RwLock would be a runtime guarantee, while with this, you can make it a compile-time guarantee.

I think that mutex are actually a really good example of what he's talking about in the article. You can only access the data from a Rust mutex through a `MutexGuard` returned from the lock method. `MutexGuard` is uncloneable and therefore, when it is dropped at the end of its scope, the mutex knows that it is free and can automatically unlock it. Additionally, it is impossible to access the data without having the `MutexGuard`, so you can statically determine at compile time that all data access is behind a lock.

Due to my hobby I hang out with mechanically inclined men aged ~30-70. I have heard them praise all manner of things from years past. If there's one thing they agree has pretty much constantly gotten better with no regressions along the way it's automotive lubricants, at least up until the point where they took the zinc out of motor oil. Now, I suspect there definitely are some regressions, but they're definitely small enough to get lost.
Introducing GPT-4 in Azure OpenAI Service

That's another huge effort which delivered us an imperfect abstraction.

I would prefer to have HKTs and typeclasses, so I may implement my own IO monad.
Maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly.

I can take crypto (and I'm talking about BTC/ETH, but can be others) and lend it out (generally for a positive APY). I can then borrow (typically USD*, but can be many other tokens) against that collateral (sometimes even for a positive APY!).

No permission needed and happens in the scope of transactions that cost pennies.

This is a massively important aspect of finance that goes beyond daily price swings. It is a relatively new aspect in crypto that has only been around for the last ~3 years or so.

Higher interest rates (for subsidized loans) should lead to lower inflation, since it is analogous to the government printing less money.

Edit: Think of the 0.1% case from a home builders perspective. They build a house for $500K (say), so a rational homebuilder wouldn’t pay more than about that to buy a house for themselves (in the absence of market distortions).

However, the buyer could take their $500K, and put it into investments that yield a few percent a year. Say they are conservative, and assume a minimum 1% annual yield. Now, they can pay the builder $4,999,999 for the house, giving the builder ~$4.5M of disposable income. The builder then spends the money, driving up prices for everyone else. (Of course, they would be wise if they used some of the money to build 5 or 6 more houses, since that leads to exponential income growth for them over time.)
When fed started raising interest rates to curb inflation, the prevalent wisdom was that the average consumer has too much money because of low rates and is spending way too much. The thought was raising rates would curb their spending and bring prices down slowly. However, it turns out the average consumer is very principled with money and is handling it very well. The rich/corporations like banks, VCs, companies felt super rich with the raising stock and began taking on abnormal risk. This was not expected by many. It may eventually lead to the average consumer getting hurt as a repercussion of the failure at the top though. Of course even the crisis of 2008 was caused by exuberant bankers. You need to have access to lots of money to cause lots of damage.
And this cannot be "controlled" for because money is fungible, and if you do try to "prevent" it Bob just puts his 80 cents in another bank which does the same thing, and it all loops around.

Certificates of Deposit are supposed to be the thing that "helps" a bank balance the "short duration" deposits with "long duration" loans - but when interest rates are so low the CDs are not worth bothering with.

I wonder if we'll see a maximum interest rate on "cash accounts" or something in the near future to try to balance it.
I’ll check this out - just commenting to say thank you for providing a “deprovision” script!
I don't

And I don't care. As I wrote in the initial comment:

> ... kick-start my research ...

I use it in conjunction with search engines.
So tempted to throw GPT4 at this problem and launch it today.
Right, my expectation was they had something better than OpenAI they were sitting on and afraid to release / didn't know how to make money with it and were essentially forced to show what they had once Chat GPT became a threat to search. I assume it's still possible they have something better and this is the nuked version that's "safe", but there's a reason for expectations to be high for Google here, and it really needs to clearly outperform Chat GPT in the same way GPT 4 clearly outperforms GPT 3.5.

If Russia did this, you would call it what it is: a bunch of greedy bullies that seized the opportunity provided by a terrorist attack to justify the occupation of a sovereign country because it's a military and economic winning move.

But apparently the US gets a pass at being a monster.
> Unless you are proposing that every company in the world is secretly conspiring together to raise prices

Is it really "conspiring" when economists speculate that inflation is coming and businesses fulfill that prophecy to either enrich or insulate themselves? It's not even a stretch, just obvious.

Curious how much inflation would happen if it weren't announced that it's time to do inflation.
Generative AI with ClipSeg/ControlNet is the main way to make Adobe products obsolete.

Wild ones can. My wife and I were hiking into the dusk one evening a couple years ago and all of a sudden the tree canopy was clamorous with the sounds of large animals lumbering through the branches. And not like the way that a chipmunk sounds huge in the dark either.

We were both starting to get a little concerned (on the path to half-terrified, if I'm being honest) until we saw a turkey loudly alight on a branch as it flew up to roost for the night.

I've definitely also had a whole flock take off out of the field next to the road we used to live on and fly off to the other side as I've driven by. They are remarkably graceful in the air for as large and ungainly as they look on the ground. I'm still not convinced that they're national bird material, though.

So you don't benefit in that simple approach from adding more disks.

Not sure about this DB, but that's my understanding of consensus as well. The more nodes, the less likely any one going down harms things but the harder it is to reach consensus. You have to write to more places. It becomes slower not faster.
