Well at least some environmental conditions are required: if you ask someone to change an oil filter, there has to be a car in the environment to do it on. To get any value of out of it, you also have to be able to oversee the process - it's no use if you're instructing someone over the phone, for example.

More generally, I think the point of the original post, and the original comment, are that verifying that something was communicated successfully requires out-of-band actions. Physically demonstrating something, or watching someone demonstrate something, are both out-of-band: neither work over all communication channels, like user manuals, or phone calls.

Even in-person communication is often restricted to make verification difficult: imagine if you're in a water-cooler meeting with another developer, and you mention that you think they should take a different approach to a certain problem. Are you going to follow them back to their desk to verify that they really choose to do so? Probably not: it's both incredibly rude, and a bad use of your own time. But there is nothing in the water-cooler conversation that you can really do to check that they'll take your advice.
I think as rather tech savvy people, we forget the degree to which most of the world population really struggles to use computers well[1]. The potential of this chat based AI technology to expand the market is massive.

Excessive bureaucracy and excessive legislation have the perverse effect to seemingly protect the consumer while in reality helping the big players. Small players will go out of business while new players can't enter. It wouldn't be much surprise if powerful lobbies ask for such legislation while they pretend they think of the public good.

No one likes competition, even entering the bar as a new lawyer is difficult.
Borrowing + consumption doesn't in particular generate inflation.

Debt is a heat sink, which is why Japan failed to spur inflation for two decades despite pulling every spending lever they could come up with. Debt kills economic dynamism, robbing the economy of the capital it requires to invest, expand.

To get to inflation out of borrowing + consumption, you need supply to not keep up. For most of the prior two decades for the US, supply kept up (courtesy of the China manufacturing juggernaut, which was a deflationary force for US consumers). The China effect has reached its end in terms of peaking, the next two decades will not see that kind of offset benefit (at least for the US).

Over the coming decades, the US will see similar problems that Japan did in terms of being unable to spark expected levels of inflation, despite high spending and debt problems. The cause will be the same, more and more of the economy will be locked up in the freezer as debt (typically yielding ever lower interest, in a downward spiral).

Eew dude what is going on at your job?
Basically, when times are bad, the rich are solvent enough to afford to just "buy the dip", and sit on it to appreciate during the good times when rates will be low enough again, then rinse and repeat between the boom-bust cycles to increase wealth.

Inflation helps them as their assets are inflation-proof and it helps wipe out their debd.
I can't remember the last time I used Google. I use bing chat, and chatGPT for EVERYTHING.

I guess I tried Bard briefly, but it was unimpressive.

I know what you mean, and it's kinda annoying. I often click the blog links knowing I'll probably be disappointed when I see they're certain sites. Personally hosted blogs tend to be a bit better.

I wish they added some kind of categorised search. So you can add "+documentation" or "+blog" to at least narrow it down if you know what you're looking for but can't remember the URL

Indeed, although the reverse is also occurring as passenger vans are being bought for cargo conversion. It's concentrated in certain some makes/models/years just as vanlife demand is heavily concentrated elsewhere.

It's probably easier to buy a good small pickup than a big van right now, especially if trading a bigger pickup + accepting cash which would be great for someone in financial trouble.
More MBA nonsense.
Generally speaking, I'd say the novel of ideas is in retreat. Try to imagine W.G. Sebald's "The Rings of Saturn" getting published today. Or basically anything by Thomas Bernhard, one of the great literary weirdos. I can't quite put my finger on why this is though.

So one problem we have at the moment in our project is that outdated Cargo.lock will basically break everything. Using `nix develop` will just fail to build the derivation, instead of regenerating the correct Cargo.lock (because it depends on someone not using `nix develop` to build the Rust project).

It seems like the ideal way to mix nix and cargo is to simply trust and delegate to cargo once you reach a rust dependency, not try to nixify it.

I think there was a rustup library for nix that probably would allow doing that but I haven't spent enough time trying (it's such a pain to debug flake.nix files)
> reproduction is the definite measure of success.

For a species, sure.

For an individual, absolutely not. Personally, I'd just say "happiness" is the measure of success, with "happiness" having a definition that varies from individual to individual.
The original Arm proposition was to make it cheaper for firms to use Arm’s IP than to develop their own.

I suspect we are now in a (possibly short) period when there is no viable alternative to Arm on mobile say.

When that period ends then the alternatives (RISC-V based) won’t be free. There will still be a cost.

This move obviously looks like a move to juice profits short term ahead of a float, but perhaps also to tilt pricing to keep Arm competitive on the lowest end devices.
Hahaha, I expected the criticism of my comment to be that too much of what I was counting as good is "high brow", in fact. Too artsy-fartsy. Leaning too much toward "The Green Knight" and not enough toward "Jaws".

[EDIT] Here, lemme just list the 2022 movies that I think were worth a watch if you're at all into the kind of thing they were doing:

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Glass Onion
Top Gun: Maverick
Bullet Train
All Quiet on the Western Front
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Crimes of the Future
Death on the Nile
Everything Everywhere All at Once
White Noise
Nope
Prey
The Sadness
You Won't Be Alone
Dual
The Northman
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (arguably just a less-exciting RRR, but hey, it makes up for it by also being shorter and non-horror comedy *is* a bit weak lately, so it gets in)
Watcher
Dashcam (one of the most interesting movies I've seen in a long time—you may hate it, but you'll feel *something*, damnit!)
The Banshees of Inisherin

This is just ones I've seen (I usually manage, like, 1/2 of the films in a year that I want to watch, at best) and excluding a few that did in fact suck or that I didn't think quite merited inclusion (e.g. The Menu) or that are good for what they are but are pretty narrow in appeal (Violent Night). Like, I hear Cyrano is great, Emily the Criminal, Bodies Bodies Bodies, The Whale, and a bunch of others, but haven't made it to them yet (and, inevitably, I'll end up never watching some of them).

"Quite a few of those are sequels, remakes, or adaptations! White Noise was a book! Death on the Nile! One of those is a marvel movie!" yeah, I know—good luck finding an era in Hollywood when a ton of the films, and even a ton of the good films, weren't such. I reject that as, specifically, a complaint about this moment in cinema (it has more merit as a criticism of cinema in general)
Could you explain briefly what I'm looking at? I'm interested but honestly don't know where to start

Whether something is a security problem or not requires a threat model and a notion of what the appropriate functioning of the system is. For all we know, OpenAI intended to release these plug-ins this way, sort of like those bars that require a "secret password" to create a sense of mystery.

As an external observer, all I can say is controlling access to plug-ins via client side validation was an unusual choice and it makes me worried they made the same unusual choice elsewhere to protect data I care about.

> I thought in the 90's Amazon is what people dreamed of. Click a button and have something at your door in hours.

Sure, but most people wanted that without the societal ramifications.

The same is true of AGI. And outsourcing. And dependence on oil.

We wax poetic about the good and leave it to people like Murray Bookchin to decry the bad.
Of course it's relevant. It's absolutely fundamental.

The real metric isn't total cash, it's outgoings vs income.

Billionaires do not have significant non-discretionary outgoings. At the billionaire level food, housing, and transport are essentially free, and your time is your own. There may be mild chagrin if you can't afford a bigger yacht or another private jet, but mild chagrin is all.

That's not true for most people. The poorer you get, the more aggressively you have to sell your time, and the more likely it is that your outgoings are going to exceed your income.

Not because you can't organise your finances, but because inflation and wage stagnation have made any other outcome impossible.
James Bamford: The Trump Campaign’s Collusion with Israel
This is an interesting point. It's definitely easy to switch to cheaper calories. Candy bars have high calorie counts and are cheap. Even today in the UK, you could buy 2000 kcal worth of candy bars for about £1.60.

And the inflation will push some people toward such food choices. Maybe not that extreme, but switching to cheaper food generally means eating less nutritious food (unless you were over-spending), which is awful.

Being pushed into single-digits spending on food daily isn't outside the realm of reality. £10 a day is about £305 a month. This is a lot of money for some vulnerable groups, like large single parent families, retirees, students, some young adults, and similar.

The inflation also harms people's diets in a several ways: you must buy less food or less nutritious food for the same amount of money, and you have less money for food as other expenses have inflated. What is worse, less healthy food demand has long-term consequences to do with its supply going down and prices going up further.
I know Varoufakis' take on the Greek crisis. I think he's mostly correct on the fact that having a common currency without a correcting mechanism will inevitably lead to these issues. However, Greece benefitted enormously from being part of the eurozone too. And the fact is that it borrowed cheaply and invested that money badly. The bail out was there, the invrstors had to agree to a "haircut" and new credit lines were given to Greece (indeed under austerity, which I also found counterproductive).

I think I mostly don't disagree with you, just offering a slightly different perspective too.
That's not what I meant. Although it is true that admins will always have access to identifying information, and this article indicates that the level of that info will increase, surprising no-one.

The question becomes "anonymous/pseudonymous to whom?" Who is able to identify us and on what level? This is all a matter of degrees. So if the admins to 4chan know who visited the board and who posted an image, they can identify users to the extent that geolocation and browser fingerprinting allow. Law enforcement could pressure 4chan into revealing this stuff and then proceed to the user's ISP which would reveal the rest.

I recall the early 90s as the Internet transitioned to the NSFnet and thence to Sprint's, with all the commercialization and privatization that ensued. There was a space in time where all a guy needed was a modem and a computer and a cooperative modem bank on the other side, such as a BBS. It was sort of like using an open proxy. You didn't need no account, didn't need no identifiers, didn't need no login or password unless you stole them. Then the backbone decreed that everyone who used the Internet had better be associated with a legitimate account. That was a very early regulation, and every development since then has been a decrease in privacy/pseudonymousness.

Then again, gains in privacy are made. Some old sites still identify users by IP address, such as Wikipedia. They're working to eliminate this as a pseudonymous identifier, and replace it with something perhaps even more stable, but that can't be geolocated or otherwise identified as belonging to the person behind the edits. And that's in compliance with EU/US regulations on privacy. Not even regular admins on Wikipedia can see browser fingerprints; CheckUser status and tool usage is closely controlled.
>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’m sure the Roman plebeians also thought as much during drought induced famine; “the wealthy caused shortages by their greed”

Seems to be the natural response of the hyper-social-aware-confabulatory-ape-mind we, as humans possess.

But make no mistake, inflation is caused by a mismatch between societies expectation of productive capacity, and its real productive capacity.

Right now, real asset values are going down. Yes, some businesses have maintained nominal increases, but as consumers feel the squeeze so will asset real values. Asset valuation is based on real returns, and consumer behavior drives real returns.
> The solution to allowing lower classes to have more stuff is to make it easier for everybody to produce more stuff.

So tax wealth rather than income?

Ah, yeah, that (quasi?) price fixing function might be the extra piece of it.
So tax $1.10 for every $1 redistributed. It's a choice to frame inflation as coming from redistribution vs the wealthy avoiding taxes.

Lots of bad things happen if your front-end is compromised, that's different and it's a high bar. They can persist access with a backdoor. They can exfil historical data, password hashes. They can corrupt and modify data.

With HTTPS certs you usually have at most 90 days of impact when a key is leaked (less if you revoke and software is checking CRL). GitHub used the same RSA key for over a decade, they may have continued using this key for quite some time more had they not noticed the leak this week.
Can you elaborate? Genuinely curious.
You avoid inflation by taxing everybody. That takes money out of the system. The "wealthy" are already taxed pretty heavily, and they don't buy a lot of stuff. In fact, your best bang-for-the-buck on reducing inflation is to tax the lower classes, since their money tends to be higher-velocity than the money of the wealthy. It sounds fucked up, but mathematically speaking, you need to tax the poor if you want to stop inflation.
We had a special group chat where we collected all funny quotes of our professors. It was fun to read, you know the personality of the professor, combine it with the quote, and you just see the situation even if you hadn't witnessed it yourself. Generative abilities of a human mind at work.

The contest to be the first to post a quote really helps to keep attention. Though not when people become obsessed with it. Everything is good in moderation.
"A dream scenario for RISC-V"

What about POWER?

There's this RISC-V dream about an high performance CPU with a fleshed out, open source ISA, with a company championing it with a big proven core you can buy, and decent compiler support in place... but we already have it! Its right over there!

Also, I think POWER is a bad omen. If IBM can't sustain POWER's hype (even with good CPUs you can buy right now), I'm not sure how RISC-V is supposed to surpass that from square one.
Like I said: it does it now. It didn't from inception until something like 2021.

Your brain takes shortcuts, you can think you understand what is going on, it's only when you need to communicate it you realize how many shortcuts in hallucinations of understanding there are in your head.

So for those with imgur accounts... I have a challenge for you.

Most people will know how to ride a bike, will know a bike when they see it.

But can you communicate what a bike looks like (in a diagram)? 90% of you won't be able to.

Grab a piece of paper, and draw a bike. Post it to imgur, and post a link to it below (please don't be a troll).

Then take a look at https://www.gianlucagimini.it/portfolio-item/velocipedia/

Until you try to communicate a concept or idea in words or diagrams, the chances are you are hallucinating your understanding.
Money isn’t fundamentally a zero sum game like it seems on the surface… rich peoples wealth is invested, and gets used by less wealthy people to also create value - they might say draw a salary supported by a business loan, or mortgage a house.
I don’t think that’s quite right. Lower classes also have debt, and inflation effectively reduces your debt. In that case, it’s a direct transfer of wealth from lenders to debtors.
> Make it easier for people to sell stuff, and there will be more stuff.

This is an excellent idea. Just lower the barrier whatever that barrier is.

Some people can think that lowering the entry barrier can result in subpar products and services but in fact the higher the competition, the higher the quality will be.

Yes and no. Some of the piece you have to make need to be cast, which means having a forge make the molds, test the molds out, and then, if you find an issue, start the whole process over again. That process can take at times around 6+ months, and more if you find an issue or have to redesign. Similarly, because of the limits of machining, 3D printing allows you have to have much more complex parts and geometries, especially for the engines. I was at GE Aviation for a bit, and they showed us some nozzles they printed that would be impossible to make if not for 3D printing just because of the complex geometries.
We can't solve our housing woes because doing so isn't profitable.
