> The IRA raised corporate taxes, which is a very effective means of fighting inflation.

Can you justify the "very effective" part of that statement?
It was hard on the developer, but some of the features it enabled were very impressive, like the ability to arbitrarily embed documents into other documents in a way that allows composite rendering as a single piece, without the app managing either part aware of the nature of the other. In fact, I'm not aware of any modern equivalent of this tech, not even on Windows (since Office stopped supporting embedding of its documents via OLE by third-party apps).

You responded to the second sentence, not the first.

Was there something about my original comment that gave that indication?
> The Fed won’t stop until rich people stop asking them to stop.

I think the most negatively affected by these rises is going to be the US middle-class, i.e. the people who have to pay mortgages (the same goes for the middle-classes based in Western countries more generally speaking). Higher interest rates means higher mortgage rates, and taking into consideration that those mortgages were signed when the effective rate was close to zero we're talking about a devastating effect on those people's finances.

Of course, VCs and capitalists somehow also negatively affected by these rises will have the louder voices, they're the ones controlling the discourse.

> OP is looking for smart discussion threads not the original content

Smart talk on this topic is valuable. Monetary forums are in person, to preserve privacy, and when distributed by newsletter, expensive.

Reading the Fed's thoughts directly, and maybe following some well-regarded economists, is the best one can do as a nonprofessional. (I'd argue it's at par with most professionals, too.)

Scaling subscriptions is hard, but we work with our users/customers at scale to make sure settings are tweaked correctly.

We have users running 100k - 1M concurrent users in production for live-event type platforms. It's not completely trivial to benchmark and setup because query patterns, streaming vs live queries etc have an impact, but it works very reliably. No missing events, no problems disconnecting/reconnecting, no need for sticky sessions and so on.

An initial POC benchmark [1] should be a quick affair so if you're trying it out and run into any problems, please hit me up! Email on my bio.

(tongue in cheek) Joseph J. Sullivan knew this would happen this back in 1888, and was curious about how they come up with the idea, so wrote the song "Where Did You Get That Hat?"

I kid you not, the lyrics include "Where did you get that hat, Where did you get that tile?" https://youtu.be/0ueF74F26Q4?t=52 . Surprisingly apropos, no?

I first heard a snippet of the song from Dr. Who. I think Romana (as played by Lalla Ward) sang it? But I can't recall the episode.
Fair. I suspect what it means is that in the future there will be no reason for anything but an AI to write "content marketing", because it all reads like AI's anyway, and has about as much originality.
I’m not making any point at all, besides trying to clarify the math and terminology GP used. I know very little about economics :)
Is that really interesting? It just lets you make the same video with different text on it.
I've been using Today Weather on Android ever since Dark Sky was killed off there. It looks nice, lots of different data sources, and the $7 lifetime

I dont understand, this is just static text placed over a known video? Is that the only part that's dynamic?
Games have tried that before, it's extremely jarring to have your cursor/camera shake around without your input, and depending on how it's done it makes visibility suck.
That was my read on the situation as well.

SVB was supposed to be an isolated event. While they were large, they were not "too large to fail". If their failure was enough to rattle the entire system, things are in serious trouble.
It's true. We are very close to CDP and Apache Hadoop. We are only about on-prem right now. It's not a secret that we didn't need a cloud deployment at Yandex. But we see and understand the demand for it. And we have a plan:)
It’s not technically interesting since a lot of big data solutions already solve this problem so I guess only the geopolitics are left.
This is an ideological question disguised as a technical question disguised as a linguistic question.

As a linguistic question, it depends how you define "programming language". Some people consider anything that tells a computer what to do to be a programming language. Others consider it useful to separate programming languages from markup languages, query languages, assembly languages, scripting languages, etc.

As a technical question, a lot of people jump onto "is it Turing-complete?" Personally, I think Turing-completeness is overrated and kind of a tangent.

Finally, there's the ideological question. Especially on Twitter, similar questions are intended to break down the hierarchy between people who code in C++ or Java and people who write HTML.

What I consider the interesting issue is how spreadsheets have been so successful for solving problems that would otherwise require "programming", and make the power of computers available to a much wider audience. Why haven't more systems caught on that would let people solve problems without "programming"?

Nobody can possibly "control" inflation. They do have the single biggest mitigating tool and, more importantly, operate largely independent of political influence and election cycles. The result is a swirl of media attention. Congress could fix inflation, but getting them to do it is such a slow and uphill battle, that nobody bothers asking them. During the 2007 crisis, every time Congress dragged Ben Bernanke in to testify he spent most of time begging Congress to take action because the Fed was nearly powerless. But berating him is a lot easier than writing bills.
I like what I am seeing here. Same game but better. I don't want to sound inflammatory but CS: Source felt like the only iteration that didn't feel right. Graphics were much better but I wasn't satisfied until CS:Go. It's basically CS with the Left 4 Dead 2 engine build.
mmm.. I think the 2020 Taper Tantrum was a bit more complex than you're giving it credit for, but the end result was indistinguishable from the simple cause(s) you propose, so maybe it wasn't that complex.
> If I have to explain it, it’s not funny. I’ve failed.

I don't think that really holds when talking to a broad enough audience.
They are two sides of the same coin.

A spreadsheet has the data visible and the logic behind the scenes. A programming language has the logic visible and the data behind the scenes.

I used to look down on spreadsheets before I served my time at an HPC research institute. I learned there that they have their uses. Even among the most proficient of programmers.

As always; it's all about picking the right tool for the right job.

Show HN: Analyze Feedback with AI – Essense.io
Hey everyone!

Excited to show off something i've been working on recently. Essense.io

Short pitch: Analyze user feedback with AI to generate actionable insights.

Longer Pitch:

Have you ever wanted to analyze your own product or that of a competitors' to figure out what the product is doing right? (and more importantly, what it's doing wrong?).

With a few clicks you can figure out what users love and hate most about a product based on reviews posted to the Appstore, Playstore, Trustpilot, and more!

You can also import your tickets from HubSpot or custom client transcripts to run the analysis against it.

Notes:

- Some folks may feel uncomfortable sharing private data (HubSpot tickets, Transcripts, etc...) with Open AI, totally get it. I'm working on fine tuning a llama model to extract insights so i don't have to send anything over but for an initial launch it seems to work well. For existing publicly available reviews (Appstore, Playstore, Trustpilot, etc...) there should be no worries there.

- Adding G2 and Capterra soon, happy to take any suggestions for other sites to fetch reviews from.

Fun fact: Best apps i've found to test for NEGATIVE reviews have been dating apps, boy does Tinder have some hate reviews.

Happy to hear any and all feedback, positive or negative.
This number is meaningless unless compared to productivity; wages have comparatively been flat since the 1970s.

Thank you for the recommendation. I just read it, and I think it's really what I needed to hear: Work on difficult problems for the purpose of self improvement, find intelligent people, and keep my options open - "Stay upwind". This thread has some really great advice, and that essay is a significant part of it.

My university has a Compsci+EE program that I'm going to look into.

If you're already competent, are CS programs less time consuming, or are they easier but still as time consuming? I'm wondering how much time at uni I could spend working on difficult problems in my own time.

I think it is reasonable to assert both that distraction has been a problem for hundreds of years and that it is considerably worse now than it had been.
Thanks, that's been our #1 complaint about large mainstream engines like Unreal, Unity, and Godot. None of them have working out-of-the-box multiplayer (Unreal is the closest, but by default it rubberbands worse than Goldsrc!), and we find it super weird.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have written our own engine.
This is gaslighting -- increased taxes without increasing spending might reduce inflation. But the IRA massively increased government spending, and government spending is a primary driver of inflation. [1]

> Powell had two options

He has many options. How long one takes to get to the inflation target is the simplest lever.

> given the market had priced in Powell making rate cuts

Which market? Rates markets certainly weren't.
It's still an easy choice because has absolute zero obligation to do anything whatsoever for asset prices. His mandate only covers inflation (too high) and employment (extremely low). Stocks, bonds, housing, climate, politics. None of them are part of the equation.

There are also some advantages towards the tarball jar encapsulating multiple jar approach - some cloud platform Java buildpacks superbly optimize the deployment process by only sending the differential jars - sometimes just the differential classes - which makes deployment 2x-3x faster than Golang single big bang executable approaches.

In our company which leverage both Java microservices and Golang microservices - the Java app deployment is much faster!

Would love to see a side by side comparison of the completions from this with completions from Copilot
I think that would be the only innocuous reason to include that line, but nobody really asked. The treasury and the FDIC have both been taking a lot of actions, like setting up 12-figure lines of credit and having banks deposit money in each other, without the market really "asking" for it, which makes me think that there's a decent chance that something is actually wrong (my guess here is that Bank of America may be insolvent on paper, depending on the duration of their outstanding loans and bonds). If the FOMC believed the system was strong, there was probably a lot of debate at the meeting as to whether to include anything. If not, the line would be included 100%.
they're so close to just giving us what we really want and that's HL3, at this point I'd just take HL2 Episode 3 to round out the story of Episode 2.

Your pricing is terrific. The free plan provides just enough daily queries to try it, and the monthly plan might be a good fit for a business.

I'm going to sign up for the free plan, not because I need such a tool, but rather so that my boss might see me using it and decide that it's worth $10 a month to her.

Isn't this ignoring the fact that nowadays two people earn income in the household? Suggesting that in fact housing is twice as expensive as 1950?

Also we have the data:

- Median income[1]: 1984 v 2023 = 55k V 71k = 1.29

- Median home price[2]: 1984 v 2023 = 80k v 468k = 5.85

- Case-Shiller[3]: 1987 v 2023 = 63 v 294 = 4.66

Make those numbers sound like everything's stayed the same.

Nothing about that is new. It has been a common fear and very real issue since the industrial revolution took hold.
I put spreadsheets in a special category of "document-as-program".

As in:
- an excel spreadsheet is a program that is run by Excel
- a word document (with or without macros) is run by Word
- a web page is a program that is executed by the browser

Documents-as-programs have this dual identity where they are a combination of data, presentation and logic. It's not a perfect categorisation but I find it helpful.

This is why I'm personally extremely skeptical of both Razor Pages and all of Blazor (Client, Server, Unified, whatever). All of that feels a lot like "Web Forms Again, this time with more C#" to me. Parts of Blazor especially may as well be ASP Classic `runat="server"` and look just like it to me. It kind of feels like a lot of ASP developers have already forgotten the hard problems of ASP Classic and ASP.NET Web Forms and have been doomed to recreate them cyclically.
Why do you think so? How many companies use Apache Hadoop?
> this is an economic fringe theory

Fiscal policy's monetary effects are not a fringe theory. Increasing taxes reduces the money supply, and a smaller money supply decreases price levels ceteris paribus. This is conventional economics.

Modern monetary theory goes a step further, arguing deficits and debts don't matter, all that matters is inflation. Which is sort of true, in a way, but also useless since it provides us with no system for predicting when inflation might become problematic beyond deficits and debts.
I see people mostly refer to the IRA as an infrastructure bill. Reducing the inflation is only a secondary goal.

The law implies testable consequences, such as what the economic incentives should be from interconnecting networks. They are good enough that we should expect to see more drive to interconnect, and stronger barriers to entry for future networks, than history actually shows.

Interesting ... I wonder if a good analogy would be to the music "industry". Without even diving into the potential impacts of AI, the building blocks of music that are available to folks wanting a music product, along with the tools to piece them together into that product, have become so sophisticated that what it means to "make music" is fundamentally different today than it was 5, 10, 15 years ago (let alone 20, 30, or 40 years ago).

Today there are musicians who play instruments or compose music in "traditional" ways, and there are other composers who have maybe never touched a piano, but are very adept at assembling high-level building blocks.

Both are musicians, though their skill sets might overlap in only the most basic of ways. Both can write/deliver music. But the one whose expertise is centered around assembling high-level blocks can only make certain kinds of edits, changes, and fixes.

The challenge in education and implementation becomes: as these creation toolkits become more integrated into the way we learn how to make music (or code), do we remove opportunity for folks to develop skills at a deeper level? Do we end up with a big but shallow pool of talent, as opposed to a smaller but deeper pool? (I fully recognize here that this is a question that might apply to any "shortcuts" introduced into any skilled field of work)
