You can use it all you want, but it's still a term invented to slander real medicine by people who are basically snake oil salesmen. You may as well just use the term medicine, which is the conventional name for modern evidence-based medicine. I would point you to the wikipedia article for the term [1]. The only people who seem to use it anymore are alternative "medicine" folks.

I've lived in London for the past 6 years and I wouldn't say that at all. Food and energy has gone up (comparably to the rest of Europe), but there's a feeling that Sunak is more competent than the previous lot. Plus we're getting loads of tech investment.
I don't know how comparable the examples are

The "enjoyment" of playing a FlightSim is trying to be as much of a competent pilot as you can, in GTA you derive said enjoyment by acting as someone with complete disregard for consequences. (Both steer you to something, still, because no consequences people try the alternatives, like everyones short lived attempt to follow laws in GTA)

People intentionally torturing the Sims seems a lot more appropiate, and comparably common

Removing consequence from action means that the only thing stopping you is your own morality, which is dangerous (Would you rather destroy the life of a random no one you will never see, or that of a lifelong colleague/partner/friend?)
If they're the kind of people who are going to price gouge on food, they probably don't need a convenient excuse. They probably would do it anyway.

That ownership stake is 'on loan' to them until they make 100x their money back. Then ownership reverts back to OpenAI.
Last year we spent two weeks in Iceland. I do remember, 10+ years ago, paying the same for 2 (two!) onions as you did for 1kg in Germany over there. Last year, we were not shocked at all, actually we paid less then we did in Germany, not much but still. Turned out Icelands grocery prices were roughly on par with France, and a tad lower than Germany at the time.

So, German groccery prices did a lot of catching up since at least a hear. Slow enough so that you don't realize unless you are living on tight budget. That being said, since salaries in Germany tend to be higher than in France, the average German consumer is still a bit better off (ignoring housing or rent, and using a broad brush here).

The war im Ukraine did caise all kinds of issues, as did Covid. All ghinhs considered so, the developed world did reasonably well so far so. If food prices increaseore so, governments will have to intervene, as lower income families will have a hard time between increased energy and food prices.
Would it not make sense to have a crypto solution to the inflation problem? Can't governments initiate a crypto currency which can be only used for a basket of goods and the providers of these goods can then exchange this currency for input goods or fiat money after verifying. This crypto coin can be distributed to everyone every month/week and with a expiry date.

What I understand is that inflation in high price goods gets passed on to the essential goods as a lifting tide lifts every boat but these can be decoupled.
And people will, by going to shops that are cheaper than ICA. We vote with our feet and our wallet.
Are you aware that the UK is largely self-sufficient wrt grains?

> The UK is largely self-sufficient in production of grains, producing over 100% of domestic consumption of oats and barley and over 90% of wheat. Average yields over recent decades have been broadly stable but fluctuate from year to year as a result of better or worse weather. Increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather as a result of climate change is likely to exacerbate these fluctuations. Wheat yields in 2020 were the lowest since 1981 due to of unusually bad weather. However, preliminary data indicates they have since increased in 2021.

> The UK produces a significant proportion of its other crop needs, including around 60% of sugar beet, 70% of potatoes and 80% of oilseeds. Apart from a recent pest-related reduction in oilseeds, these proportions have remained stable over the last ten years. Climate change represents a risk to production both in terms of making conditions unsuitable for some crops and allowing new pests to proliferate but it may also benefit new types of crops.

> The UK produces over 50% of vegetables consumed domestically, but only 16% of fruit. 93% of domestic consumption of fresh vegetables was fulfilled by domestic and European production, while fruit supply is more widely spread across the EU, Africa, the Americas, and the UK.

On the contrary, those riots show that every important issue in France is hijacked by violent far left militants who don't want to debate but to bring "the system" down or just destroy as much property as they can get away with. That is not healthy. Riots on the pretext that the retirement age increases by 2 years to an age still below the EU average is not a sign of healthy politics.
Agreed... I've done a bit of simulation work, and the unidirectional flow for react (and redux) was pretty natural to me and similar to other approaches I'd used for ui composition and state management. A few patterns that can be more difficult (slightly/arguably) to get started with, but easy to repeat.

I've been a fan for several years now, almost a decade and I adopted the hooks relatively early on as well. It feels right, even if something under the covers are complex, you don't have to think about a lot of that when you aren't looking at it.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Stock prices are on the slide and property prices and rental yields are extremely precarious.

I also agree that low rates were good as you could invest in property with leverage and in businesses which could borrow and raise money to cheaply to grow.

My question in the face of these kinds of actions is what can a non-technical person do in the face of having access to their “purchases” taken away?

My younger brother deals with autism and is worried that he won’t be able to play his games anymore if something happens. What’s the first place to go to to actually own what you bought on these platforms?
They did, in so far as they benefited their own ecosystems.

Microsoft has DCOM and other .net remoting mechanisms, which may even work over the Internet.

Next/Apple has Distributed Objects:

And databases have had it since forever, you throw in some SQL and you get back some data over defined protocols like TDS. You can even invoke some small programs via stored procs.

> They can choose between the individual products they buy, so it wouldn't be a problem if just some food items got expensive. But the price of food overall is inflating.

That is a false binary. You can still buy flour (or naan or pita), cheese and tomato sauce instead of pre-made pizzas, sacrificing your time against rising food costs. You can buy lentils instead of steak, sacrificing your preferences against rising food costs. Or you can travel further to a warehouse store and buy in bulk...

When enough people act empowered in the face of adversity, we don't have to sweat "greedflation". Retailers will learn their lesson.

Yes, I understand rising prices make life worse. But don't let anyone tell you there's nothing you can do about it. Learn to cook, change stores, eat differently, maybe even move.

"My Pizza Pops went up 25%, I am powerless in the face of inflation!" Just no.
It’s actually as low as 0.01% of the original weights.

I don't think so, because so few people have much to contribute.

AIs work because the web is "done". All of the information in the world has already been transferred to the Web.

People have long complained that the Web isn't as much fun as it used to be. They usually blame it on some kind of nebulous power that forces new stuff out, but I think it's because there just isn't that much new stuff.

There's always news and the march of technology. But radically new and important things don't actually happen all that often. People already consume far more news than is good for them, hoping for that dopamine rush of novelty.

So nobody cares about your 100% human generated web site, because it's just not all that interesting. How many things will you create in your lifetime that's really worth anybody taking note of?

We've already got aggregators, that try to look for a few interesting things every day. Somebody's art piece, some bit of news, some nifty project. But any individual home page is only going to be interesting on rare occasions.

The aggregator's job is to filter out the vast amount of crap that people generate hoping for attention. That's a problem that preceded bots. It has been listicles and memes and clickbait -- microscopic bits of novelty that people hype as if they were more.

The solution is not to certify the web sites, but to stop relying on the Web to provide you a constant stream of novelty. Rather than looking for something interesting, be interesting.
CircleCI reduced outages after promising to do so. And we proved it with data
Complex issues have complex causes. A scapegoat is a convenient way to dismiss discourse but it's not very useful.
Increased prices and price gouging are not the same thing. If production costs are up, and they are up, then prices can go up without anyone making any more money. You have to actually look at why prices are going up.

The other factor is that rising prices often mean an increased need for investment by producers. That investment capital has to come from somewhere, so what look like increased profits based on current cost structures can actually be entirely justified if the company then needs to invest that money in order to get production volumes up and cope with increased capital costs.

I don't know enough about the food industry to be able to say which of these is happening, in which sector or country, but these are much more complex issues that the knee jerk reactions here imply. What I can say is, it seems to me that if the reduced supply from Ukraine and Russia is going to be made up, somebody somewhere is gong to have to ramp up food production an awful lot, and I can't imagine that's going to be cheap.

Yes, indeed, it's ridiculous. The shift from journalism to content made manifest.
Your comment also doesn't contain any evidence.
In a generation or two we'll have language models that understand aesthetics and accuracy (by being trained on token sequences annotated with aesthetic/accuracy scores), and we'll be able to ask the model to generate well written, factual answers by conditioning probabilities based on high aesthetic/accuracy scores.
> Obesity rates suggest people eat far more than they need to.

Obesity rates are also higher among poorer segments of society than wealthy, so it isn't necessarily a given that obese people will choose to eat less just because doing so will make them poorer due to higher prices.
There is now a code interpreter[0] plugin for ChatGPT. It's not clear to me if it's available to folks who have been granted into the plugin alpha test or not, but it's running in a sandboxed execution environment somewhere -- not on our computers.

I suspect it was a deliberate decision not to ACL plugins.

They let anyone create and use one after all.

The only reason approval exists at all is so users aren't tricked into running low quality or spammy plugins.

You could consider this similar to someone revealing that lots of apps banned from app stores are available on other websites and one could write the headline "banned app leaks onto apkmirror.com, is google security compromised?"

Are people asking it to generate code like “generate a random color hex code” or are they trying to use it to write code you’re going to put in production for users with access controls and various complexities?

Because yeah it works fine for basic programming things but I believe you need to know wtf you’re doing when it comes to anything more complex, even something basic like some of our single endpoint services.
Systemd wants to provide an option of limiting services from writing, and optionally also from reading, in the home directories of all users. However, there is no reasonable algorithm to discover a single common parent directory which would not also risk encompassing other directories which should not be restricted, so the hardcoded /home is used by the ProtectHome option. If you have home directories somewhere else, but want the same protection by systemd, you will have to use the InaccessiblePaths or ReadOnlyPaths option for all individual system services which you want to restrict in this manner.

Inflation, asset deflation and a financially strained middle/low class causing them to be upside down on debt = firesale on what assets they had for the top class to acquire. I believe this cycles used to be called pump and suck when directed at third world economies, get them addicted to debt then acquire their desirable assets. Crazy to see it being used now on the UK and USA middle class. We never thought the banking leopard would eat our face.

It makes me wonder if this trend will kill NVIDIA.

Artificial scarcity is a thing, so something being dirt cheap to produce doesn't necessarily mean that it will be actually affordable, and in the current economic environment there seems to be sufficient motivation for powerful people to try and make various monopolies based on capital-gated barriers of entry, even if the marginal cost approaches zero; so I'd expect that the default scenario is not like "salt". Getting to a mental model "like salt" seems to be a reasonable outcome in the long run, but I'm afraid that it would take some significant pressure from the masses to get from here to there.

Sorta? The backend specifically exists to be where state is persisted. And the validation of the data has to happen at the backend, even if you also repeat it at the front end.

You are correct that there can be more interactions on the frontend, but frontends were both faster and easier to deal with when they did not do all of this. For many internal tools, bouncing back the validation from the backend is also easier to understand than the validation that the website is providing.

I suspect it is a bit of a curve. Zero interaction on the front is not pleasant. All of the state replicated on the front is also not useful and likely to be more problematic.
This isn't the case. The stuff you read about this is just ludicrously inaccurate.

One, UK is growing at about the same rate as other developed economies. This is quite remarkable because, if you look at Europe, 100% of these countries have significantly higher unemployment.

Two, productivity growth has slowed everywhere after 2007. The UK is comparable to Western Europe, slower than Germany, faster than Italy, it depends heavily on what start and end date you pick. This isn't particularly surprising given that we essentially outlawed the most productive sector of our economy after 2007.

Three, the UK had no financial boom in the 2010s, the US did, and the EU did...let's just wait until the debt has to be repaid to see the full score on whether that has worked out economically.
Solution: Opt out of centralized monetary policy
Every single debt is underwritten individually by a originating bank. Within a few days the BNPL provider is expected to buy that debt back once the remittances to vendors have been made. The BNPL company then takes on the debt.

BNPL makes their money by charging a network fee. AFAIK AfterPay charges about 7% and this is meant to cover the debt charges from the banks and administration fees.

I'm not sure if such a promise ever existed. After all, before CentOS Stream, all security fixes went out with RHEL first and were imported into CentOS (non-Stream) only afterwards. And under the Stream development process, the fixes have to be merged into Stream eventually for the next minor RHEL release, otherwise they would be missing from that, too.

The CVE tracking pages are here:

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-0590

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-1249

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-1252

Based on these data, it seems that the commercially supported versions are still unfixed (if they were impacted in the first place).

Bugzilla records show that the corresponding security tracking bugs were filed publicly from the start:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2165741 (CVE-2023-0590)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2169719 (CVE-2023-1249)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2176140 (CVE-2023-1252)

So the Neowin headline is a bit misleading because Red Hat disclosed these issues publicly (presumably after consultation with the reporters) even before the 90-day timer expired in the Google bug tracker.

(Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat, but are not involved in security anymore.)

True, it could have a more significant impact.
> A sad thought I have about inflation is the fact that it is, wittingly or not, a weapon wielded by the rich against the middle and lower classes.

I think you have it backward. I think the inflation is the byproduct of their ability to own and hoard assets like land and labor, and reap the most value from those things, while everyone else is unable to get a foothold.

Inflation is happening because everyone is making more money, and everyone got a bunch of during covid, and now a lot of people are having large swaths of debt cut from their lives (college loan forgiveness program), not because rich people own stuff. But poorer people also can’t get ahead because rich people own everything.

This is a capitalism problem more specifically than it is a rich v. poor problem. Make it illegal to own more than one property and you will instantly give the lower and middle classes a chance.

This reminded me of a story I heard many years ago at Microsoft about a memory-corruption bug that flipped two bits and turned the text "WINDOWS" into "SINDOGS". This caused a few customers to freak out that Windows was some sort of Satanist operating system.

(I figured I should do a quick Google before posting to see if this is an urban legend. It turns out to be true. The Windows line-drawing code drew pixels beyond the bitmap into memory, corrupting Excel's string: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2022/01/06/sinofsky-sindog...)
Tell that to the economists, who predominantly say that inflation helps the poor, supposedly because they have loans.
That case ruled the phone book in question was not copyright protected:

> The court held that Rural's directory was nothing more than an alphabetic list of all subscribers to its service, which it was required to compile under law, and that no creative expression was involved. That Rural spent considerable time and money collecting the data was irrelevant to copyright law, and Rural's copyright claim was dismissed.

In theory a curated phone book could be copyrighted, e.g. a hypothetical "Best Restaurants in San Francisco" compilation could be copyrighted. However a general phonebook just listing business in alphabetical order does not meet the originality threshold that was laid out in Feist v. Rural.
I liked the book "Edly's Music Theory for Practical People". It has silly cartoons, and I think it explains things well. But I'd look at a preview or something of it to see if it is your kind of thing.
