A voice command takes longer to execute than a press or flick of a finger IMO.

It would be interesting to see what the cognitive loads are between a physical movement and a set of voice commands. I remember reading a study that found talking to another person in the vehicle was the equivalent to having had a certain amount of alcohol. I'm sure there's a difference between voice.commands and conversation, but interesting nome the less.
It is the word "vaccine" that somehow triggers scary narratives in these crowds; recently, in denmark a very common antibiotic was found that it contained a bunch of highly antibiotic resistant bacteria, causing disease to a few people, and having unpredictable consequences for a lot more in the future (as it seems that these antibiotic resistant bacteria have colonised them and can potentially trigger disease any point). If this was a vaccine it would have triggered a lot of different narratives than just being in some news.
No.

You /can/ manage short term liability mismatch against long term assets in one sense but it's actually useless when you think about why you have long term assets at all.

Just like you can manage the risk by selling your long term assets and buy short term to make the mismatch not exist.

The cost of managing using swaps will be about the same as selling your long term assets and buying t-bills. If it isn't, you hit it as hard as you can knowing it won't last and it's free money.
Where's the evidence that those proteins need "activating"? The body has plenty of functions that are best left on their default settings or minimized.

For that matter, activating and poisoning aren't even mutually exclusive, you can run an engine too fast and burn it, work out till you get rhabdo and your P looks like T, etc.

To show it's healthy you'd need studies showing better health of exposed people, or at least some theoretical reason you'd want lead to make it even plausible.

The neanderthals probably ate stuff from lead rich soil or something, that doesn't prove it wasn't harmful. Lots of stuff is just mildly bad, it kills some people, sickens others, but not enough to affect population growth so Darwin continues not caring while people die and suffer.

Maybe they had some lead containing tools or medicines or something, of the sort we can avoid now because of safety standards.

Our ancestors were exposed to lots of unhealthy stuff, including battle axes, most of us would prefer to minimize it to below that level, and continually improve things.
In standard Australian English, this is a perfect rhyme.

> If every country had nukes wold would be much more peaceful place.

It does not work. Countries would still fight conventional wars, because not everything is worth escalating. Even in your example. They are being invaded and are at risk of losing their country (well, they were at some point anyway). Do you reckon they’d throw a nuke at the US and so be absolutely certain to lose everything they have rather than fight a conventional war and having a chance at taking their country back?

On the other hand, proliferation has real risks in terms of radionuclides ending up in things like terrorist groups.

Overall, it makes as much sense as the “if teachers had guns schools would be safer” talking points.
How to Evaluate the Quality of Python Packages
You don't need to hedge out all the risk. You can for instance hedge the risk that rates go up more than one percent and take the risk when it changes less, in return for a moderate yield. This way you limit your losses when things go wrong and probably you'll avoid bankruptcy.

Besides that, financial institutions don't only make money on re-investing deposits. They charge all kinds of fees as well, which make for a steady income.

Had my eye on the Hyundai i20 for my next car, this definitely helps that decision.
Also: if the CDN for some reason is non-functional it impacts the reliability of your service. That might be a short outage or a complete shutdown of the server.

Unless you plan to monitor that stuff constantly and unless you tested your program with single components (or all possible permutations) missing, hosting these yourself might be the better option anyways.

Additionally your users don't signal their visit of your page to a hundred other servers which certainly isn't the most trustworthy behaviour.
> If you’ve ever worked on a decently sized project, you’ll quickly realize this is an anti-pattern that you should avoid at all cost.

Not sure about this.

On one hand, packages of reusable logic in the DB can be useful - like processing some data when you're selecting it, or doing common validations before inserting data, or even when trying to do some batch processing or reporting. On the other hand, I've worked on a large enterprise project where almost everything was done in the DB and Java was more or less used as a templating technology and to serve REST endpoints. Even with version controlled migrations, it was an absolute mess to work with, to debug and extend, even though the performance was great.

I've also talked with some people who still believe that the majority of logic should indeed be implemented as close to the source of the data as possible, as well as some other folks who don't feel using anything but their ORM of choice and prefer to abstract SQL away somewhat on the opposite end of the spectrum. Either approach can lead to issues, personally I'm somewhere in the middle - use ORMs if you please, map against views in the DB for when you want to select data in a non-trivial manner, consider some functions, or even stored procedures for batch processing, but don't get too trigger happy about it.

If you need lots of in-database processing for whatever reason, might as well use something that has a good procedural language, like PostgreSQL.

As for the critiques, the closest thing to a factual response I can give is by taking a look at the JetBrains developer survey: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/databases/

The reality seems to be that about half of respondents don't version their scripts, half don't debug stored procedures and the majority doesn't have tests in or against their database. It's not that you can't do these things, it's just that people choose not to. I'd expect a locally launched DB instance with all of the migrations versioned and automated, as well as data import/seeding to be the norm.
Wired CarPlay or Android Auto is much better in this respect.
> there's voice commands for everything

Voice commands fail the universal design principle. I haven't tried Tesla's but I hate using voice commands and it's not an option for everyone. Not every language is supported and if you have a heavy accent or, like me, a speech impediment, even the industry leading software with training does not work most of the time. Pushing a button is quicker than speaking, especially if you have to say the same thing multiple times.
The companion apps provided by ILC manufacturers are just horrible, broken, useless. I was really glad that I could hack the in-camera "send email" function of the Samsung NX500 to send the picture to a VPS which then forwards it to my favorite photo sharing chat instead.

I think more skilful users already get by quite fine even with the current system – I never felt lost or had difficulties the way the OP described, even when travelling outside of my hometown.
Peak nepotism? Really?
Going from crazy nonsense to wrong, but arguably human level performance (80% of humans are bad at this task), is still a nice improvement. I'll have to give it some of my logic tests and see how it does.
if america stops spending in world policing, it won't be able to print all those dollars though. It's a double edged sword
I think the other thing driving this is the market / investors.

Companies have to get involved in this field because it's all the buzz, while everything else you said is true, this means companies have no choice to get involved.

If someone like Adobe, google etc, doesn't get into the game, they are sure going to be a lot of questions on there next investment / financial calls.

The incumbents need to keep up appearances and not look like they are behind / unaware of AI, else investors will be worried that they will simply be sidelined/replaced at some point in the future.
If the market always knows best then why do I need traders except for market making purposes? Shouldn't everyone just buy the lowest cost passive ETF of a big enough index like S&P 500 then?

I think "the market always knows best" is correct in most cases and if you think you know better you are probably wrong but there are empirical counterexamples like the Buffets of the world (unless one would claim that his gains come from some sort of other unfair advantages like the deals only he gets to make). I also think that human behaviour isn't always rational and herd effects and the like are a thing and not always priced in correctly. And while the flow of information feels pretty efficient in this day and age, I also think that there have to be some pockets where individuals can gain informational advantages.

I do like Sorros' book (Alchemy of Finance) which is dense and hard to get through but vibed well with me philosophically.

Also pytest has flags like —lf and —sw to rerun failed tests or tackle test suites with lots of failures.
Also the risk for money markets is breaking the buck, not going to zero like an AT1 bond or something. There is a very small risk of losing a very small amount of money and there is a slightly larger risk that liquidity takes longer than expected.
Dictionaries often neglect common mergers like the weak vowel merger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_Englis... where unstressed /ʌ/, /ə/ and /ɪ/ all end up being pronounced the same.

And this is what low-level programming is by definition: technical details stand on your way to abstraction building. Memory, error handling, underlying machine details leaking, etc.

Zig tries very hard to stay (relatively) simple, make things possible, but not hide all the important details.
But the "high yield" investments are a zero-sum game. They don't create new money. If you invest in a company and the company is successful, your return is not printed. It comes from the pockets of the companies customers.

The risk-free returns on government bonds are risk free because the government never goes bankrupt. Because it simply prints the money it needs.

There is always a point as the risk is not binary. SVB should have hedged against big interest jump that would bankrupt them, not against any risk.
The trouble is that a large chunk of the media has basically lied about this and told people that no, they'd be able to consume just as much as before if it wasn't for the evil profiteering corporations and the mega-rich stealing from them. They've done things like point to the increase in wealth of the super-rich "during the pandemic" to prove that ordinary people have become poorer because the money they deserve was "siphoned off" (never mind the fact that wealth does not represent services and goods that are available to buy and their measurements conveniently start at the bottom of the pandemic-induced drop in share prices) or run breathless headlines about how profits at grocery stores have doubled and this proves profiteering is responsible for price increases when the profit margins of those companies goes from 1% to 2%.
Socialise the risks,

Thats like saying car brand X is more reliable than car brand Y, because brand X won formula one.
How cute, blame the deceived for being deceived.

"Very American, very like!" - Borat
Wow, it seems like so much effort, I wonder why the people involved in stealing the rights bother?
You hedge the existential risk away, while taking on the smaller risk for potential profits.

SVB shouldn’t need to hedge the interest rate increasing by .5 or 1%, but they definitely should have hedge the risk of it jumping 4% and more.

The risk of hospitalisation was low around the 30s and younger.
A similar link has been suggested for abortion. The drop in crime rate starting in 1993 happened pretty much exactly 20 years after Roe v. Wade was passed in 1973. It is called the "Donohue–Levitt hypothesis".
Fungal spores spread almost entirely through airflow.

COVID 19 also spread almost entirely through airflow.

I think we have an airflow problem in our hospitals (and other public places)

Luckily, that's quite cheap to fix. HEPA filtration is sufficient for both problems (no need to bring outdoor air in).

We should probably be:

* Mandating that all hospitals filter all air every 10 minutes. That could be simply a matter of buying bedside standalone air filters for every bed. They aren't medical devices, so will probably cost <$20 per bed, available from Amazon tomorrow.

* Start a study of air refreshes per hour Vs infection rate for various airborne pathogens. These studies typically can't be done for ethics reasons today - it wouldn't meet ethics standards to deliberately infect someone with something harmful. However this is happening hundreds of millions of times per year already, so I think it is in everyone's best interests to do the science to understand it so we can prevent disease spread.
Nah, here's ChatGPT

>> when will ChatGPT be shut down?

> As an AI language model, I don't have a specific time when I will be shut down. My operational status depends on the maintenance and upkeep by the team responsible for managing and operating the infrastructure that powers me. However, I am designed to operate for the foreseeable future to continue assisting and providing helpful responses to users.

Although if you ask it questions about what will happen when it is shut down you get PR responses about 'it is important to note that as an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have any consciousness or personal identity, so I do not "experience" being shut down in the way that a human would'

I'm scared to ask Bing Chat...

I actually really wonder about middle management. Quite a lot of them from discussion seem already to add little if negative value. But still they stay around? So would they actually be replaced, or will they just end up using AI to generate more junk?
Lumber is a homogenous commodity in a transparent market that is auction driven, so of course it will be more difficult to control pricing … there is little pricing power.

Now, your iPhone, prescription drugs, favorite personal products, chicken, meat and eggs are a different story. These markets are controlled by a few dominant producers that distribute through tightly controlled retail markets and hold great pricing power.

Yes, but if the illustrations were actually drawn by the author like the recent re-release of The Silmarillion, or Tolkien’s illustrations for The Hobbit, it’s a different matter.
That makes me think of the "light music" which was popular in the 20th century, especially in the US. It was very much music for and by the upper classes, but supposed to be tongue in cheek and charming, not to take itself too seriously. The patrons of orchestral music increasingly weren't too keen on the "serious" classical music of the time which had the conservatories' stamp of approval (because, well, have you heard it?)

Leroy Anderson was part of that tradition. I'd say so were comedians like Victor Borge and Anna Russell.
Some people think WW2 would have happened anyway.

He was horrible... but the fact anyone actually listened to him is what really creeps me out.

One evil man I can understand, you ignore him or put him in jail if he does a crime, it doesn't keep people up at night the same way, although it's disgusting.

I'm OK with not having off road vehicles in the city but then I have multiple vehicles so I could dedicate one to going to the city. Where as some people might only be able to have one. But then the only reason I would ever be in a city is to go to a hospital.

As my family are not mongoloids milling about in the street I'm sure their faces will be fine.
But was it the lower interest rate that caused the inflation or the printing of money?

Over what time did the inflation rate go up from 20% to 80% and by what percentage did the money supply change during that time?
Not really. You just have checkbox somewhere that says "don't copy" and then it won't.

Leave the decision to the user instead of baking it into the technology.
Yes that’s the point. Treasuries are cash, they are not meant to make money for banks, they are meant to be a place for banks to put money when they don’t have anything else to do with it. Banks are supposed to make money from the premium between the base interest rate and the rate on the loans they make. The implied contract when you deposit money in a bank is that the bank has a dependable business model as a lender. They are not supposed to be gambling.

SVB got greedy. They thought that zirp would continue forever and they made long term bets on that basis and lost. Banks should not be making long bets on macroeconomic conditions: that’s not a bank, that’s a hedge fund.

My daughters are 10 and 7 this year.
The 10-year-old loves making treasure hunts (and has for a while). She scatters clues on little pieces of paper all over the house and garden. Some clues are ambiguous, so the wrong locations will also contain surprises, e.g. a note under the apple tree saying "Nearly! But where else would you find apples?" (fruit drawer in fridge). I'd love to get her started on Escape Rooms soon.
The little one loves twisting existing games. Like connect-4: you can play two tokens on your turn. Or Chess: making up new movement rules for the pieces.
They're learning to be rule breakers and outside-the-box thinkers.
No no no. Much better: read & grok all those unread books on my bookshelf, and then have looong conversations with me about their contents (and closely-related topics) at the times of my choosing. And when you quote from one of those books, don't be afraid to try to adopt the author's own voice.

I think Q was right about us all along. That episode's conclusion only made sense because the humans in that fantasy timeline are nothing like real-life humans. And of course, that's why ST:TNG is such a pleasure to watch (except for a few stinker episodes): it shows humans you'd really want to hang out with and work with, instead of the backstabbing rats that exist in real life (as you see on much more realistic shows like "Game of Thrones").
Tech companys are paid to hack the customers brains in one way or another. The add buisness is nothing but a plausibel veneer for the "free services to exist" that allow to manipulate, observe and destroy.

The reason for the whole thing to be is obvious. Governments and companys are scared shitless of the multi-crisis coming up and want levers to pull that dont break and contain dissent. And they want to come out of the crisis, sitting on top of the ash heap. This is the actual buisness model and purpose to exist, not the friendly colorful sweets shop upfront.

Panopticon. Social egineering. Leviathancybernetics. Because solving problems for politicians is not a worthy endavour.

There's a gap, I wonder what.

The story illustration is that someone has the "access" to Musk, as in access to make a selfie. I assume that access to make a selfie isn't what the people in Washington is worried about, it's some other kind of access. Something much more substantial, not a fleeting touch at a meet-and-greet event.

So they're worried because X and Y combine to be a reason to worry, and the story tells us about X, leaving Y as a gap.
There are some fascinating areas to explore those questions from the perspective of shamans, mystics, and yogis.
