Right, but what I'm saying is that the appearance of a "safe asset" relied on $2 billion of purchases and very thin liquidity in the market (allowing that $2 billion to have a larger than normal effect on price). Without the $2 billion of extra purchases, who knows whether it would have been a "safe asset" or not? My guess is "no."
after GMod was launched on Steam with much better support for Lua scripting, what we call Garry's Mod grew into just one game mode (the sandbox gamemode). with S&Box, I think Garry's idea is that the GMod sequel is just one of the game modes. he/they are focusing on the developer platform first and foremost.

I think there will be a GMod 2 gamemode that resembles what we remember (balloons, thrusters, etc)
Sure, and Marx advocated for revolutionary violence.

Now, I'm pretty sure he was thinking more Paris Commune than Killing Fields but to argue that Marx was a just reformist is ahistoric.

And sure, there are people who profess to being marxist who don't believe in revolutionary violence as there are those that went well beyond his direct manifesto. But Marx was pretty clear where he stood and was happy to put it in writing.

Right, thereby increasing the purchasing power of those who need it most, aka, inflation relief.

I dont like the recent inflation, but as someone one the upper end of the income distribution (likely true of many HN readers), my life isn't fucked up by it. Merely my discretionary income.

Except in the tiniest of startups, managers and even directors have just about zero say in compensation ranges.

Therapy now covered as a business expense for 14K+ startup founders
I launched the Founder Mental Health Pledge (http://www.FounderPledge.com) a few days ago in the wake of the SVB crisis as founder's anxiety increased even more.

Now 50+ venture capital firms and 150+ startup leaders covering 14K+ startups have signed the pledge to:

1) Destigmatize founder mental health and that of the larger startup ecosystem

2) Agree to mental health/wellness (therapy, coaching, group support, app-based solutions, etc) as a worthwhile and encouraged business expense for founders

I hope you (investors, startup leaders, ecosystem partners) will join the pledge: http://www.FounderPledge.com
I think the substack article linked here [0] is pretty good at addressing what you need to know.

It used to be that money - capital - was used for value creation like a better product or service or some public good in the commons. Now the most crucial use of capital is to generate (further) wealth for those already wealthy. And since "conventional wisdom" of the economics kind blames higher wages as an impetus for inflation, "hurting" those wage earners is the key via higher rates to reign in said inflation. But real wages are and have been falling. Thus, because the economy is biased towards enabling and sustaining the making of money with money, in other words continuing to generate and increase wealth for the wealthy at the expense of others, the system will continue to reward the needs and wants of the wealthy.

Just my take on things. I'm learning as we go.

Most people are pretty "down" on life extension, from a social consequences phase, but one consequence that might be interesting is having to deal with the end results of policies fifty years hence. Government archives and court records get unsealed after decades and the culprits are largely ignored: they're probably dead or so incapacitated that they would not stand trial. Imagine, though, that it wasn't just elderly guards of some concentration camp being prosecuted for the crimes of previous centuries, but people responsible for Tuskeegee, for telling us that cigarettes are good for our health, for burying the truth about climate change.

Humans are short-sighted, although not as much as compared to the other animals, but imagine how much further we might look if we couldn't just count on dying out of investigations. Perhaps some of those nuns might be called to account for those mass unmarked graves of children and infants behind "care homes" in Canada and Ireland and so on.
So how do I get started with this. Explain like I’m a vim cgi-bin programmer.
Because they're human and humans are weak. The "right thing" involves a lot of pain for a lot of people. OR, they can attempt to kick th can further down the road, be a hero, and let the next Board deal with it.

GPT-4, per the API docs, has both -8K and -32K versions; I wouldn't be surprised that they are only putting the smaller one up for the web interface, for resource reasons, but that doesn't explain an apparent 4K limit.
We do not know if it is the same women who buy EVs and vote to prioritise environmental issues. And because we do not know that, your conclusion seems to be invalid.
Thanks! In the "modern setup", I guess this maps to queries being in PowerBI (e.g. DAX queries) or Tableau etc. Maybe someone working with these tools on a large scale can confirm this.
IIRC government bonds are the "safest" option. Because the only way you lose them is if the US government collapses; and even if you think this could happen, if the US government does collapse, you have much bigger issues and also can expect every other currency to collapse as well (including Bitcoin/crypto, because most people will simply not accept it)
This is a fair enough take from your position as (I expect) an experienced, seasoned developer who knows your own value. The power dynamic is tilted in your favor because there are way fewer people looking for work at your level, and if a company needs somebody with your skillset they're going to do what it takes to get you.

If you're a recent grand or early in your career, though, you just don't have that kind of clout. You're going to jump through these hoops because you need the job, and you're going to be competing with people in a similar position doing the same.

My list was not meant to be comprehensive, but that's what I meant by "our use of medicines (antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, etc.)." That includes heavy antibiotic use in farming which also likely contributes to antibiotic resistance.
I do not read any "frivolous anti-intellectualism" in this context.
Caffarelli is, for all intents and purposes, unknown to the public (unknown even to me, who has a PhD in a field adjacent to applied mathematics). Messi is well known (I know about him). Both are from Argentina.

Newspapers need people who read articles. It was neither a click-baity title (Caffarelli played soccer with Messi!) nor an inaccurate one.
I fixed it before seeing your comment but shortly after posting, so we probably passed in flight. Likely not your problem!
It's not Stripe or Visa "going poof" that would be an issue it would the underlying banks they use that add risk. Stripe/Visa are not FTX. Payment processors don't use in-flight transactions to pay liabilities (salaries, rent, etc.). They also don't (as far as I'm aware) convert that cash into other assets like bonds.

However, the money may be stored in a money market account i.e short term bonds or even if it's a more normal savings account the bank itself depends on fractional lending and bonds.

I'm be very surprised if any major payment processor hasn't vetted the institutions that hold transaction funds. That said some payroll companies were hit by SVB's collapse but more so on not being able to accept checks than loosing already received funds.
We’re in need of pragmatists. There is an optimal balance between climate action and business as usual. Calls for extreme curtailment of fossil fuel usage for example would lower quality of life beyond what global warming will do.

> There's just too many devs chasing too few jobs imo, programmers have become somewhat of a commodity and it's going to get much worse now with interest rates higher and staying higher.

Programmers, sure. Engineers? Everyone seems to be fighting to hire them.

Writing code from a detailed spec is the easy part. Back in the days, people were doing it directly in assembly before someone came up with a compiler. When the great offshoring craze started, suddenly everyone was now an "architect" writing these specs and submitting them to an "AI" (called a programmer in India) to be translated into (sometimes working!) code.

So the coding part was cheap and easy, but getting the detailed spec hasn't gotten any easier than it was. And the industry learned (mostly thanks to FAANG) that the best people to write these specs were also capable of coding them faster than by splitting teams in two and having the actual programming be done elsewhere.

> At the same time there are professions like child care, education, healthcare where personnel is always needed and overworked.

Then maybe they should make these jobs more like engineering. Where's the Google of child care?

Seriously, one of the big caveat of education and child care is that comp is on a pay scale, voted by the public, and you get paid for years of services and not results. So the teacher that can't get fired because of union rules, that keeps getting complains after complains and doesn't care will get more money than you and will get first pick for any assignments.

Thanks to over-regulation, healthcare is by far the most dysfunctional field of work in the western hemisphere. Turf wars between professions, bloated administrations and out of control spending is the norm. Most of the overwork is due to completely dysfunctional management.
The Cover-Up
Woosh - went right over my head. Haha okay yep I’m tracking
I think the dependencies they're talking about are something like A1 = C3*C5, C3 = B2+5, B2 = 12, C5 = 13... to determine the value of A1 you'll need to know the values of C3 and C5 which then depend on B2 so simply computing cells in ascending order wouldn't work for the first iteration and saving the dependency between cells would probably let you work a lot more efficiently as data in the sheet changes.

Also, I gave a dumb example involving four cells - some spreadsheets involve thousands of active cells with complicated interdependencies, conditional formatting and hidden ranges... these large sheets are usually rather responsive for how much unstructured complexity is in them.

If you hold them to duration government bonds are fine. If you buy them, then interest rates go up, then you need to sell them ... well, SVB did that and now we're here talking about how NOT to do that.

That's not a difficult problem to solve.

The difficult problem to solve is to find the right space between "Matchmaking results in the most skilled players being at the top of the ladder" and "Matchmaking results in fun matches."

The casual community for any game is much larger than the top-0.1% community, and cares a lot more about the latter than the former.
Q: How to change the UX to be more ethical?

As a Reminder, having an Italian name means nothing innately, about my level of criminality, regardless of what Bard tells you.

@craboof, Refocusing your question to, "should GOOG Bard try to be ethical than it currently is": yes. GOOG can do more harm quickly, generating stereotypical content, than a modern human.

Yes, this is a wildly awful failure. It should not have been shipped - it is harmful - it should stop being "the norm" to ship such poorly disclaimed features.

_I_ am sure this is fail because the harm clearly outweighs the mitigation. I see the generated content and its consequential harm: it is reinforcing negative stereotypes. I do NOT see GOOG's mitigation through the ..not shown here.. disclaimer, "This Is beta/alpha/incomplete/whatever". That disclaimer is elsewhere. The disclaimer needs to be EVERYWHERE. That's a failure on GOOG's part.

To extrapolate, I think that amplifying stereotypes is one of the worst harms this tool can do to us humans, right now. Worse than this would be to create deadly situations for humans -- and stereotypes CAN lead to death, so this is pretty awful.

PLEASE Correct my 'formal' ethics: This seems 'consequentially' unethical. Versus immediately. GOOG is not actively killing puppies each time it generates an AI Story. However any future usage of the story will do harm.

The political landscape in the US consists precisely of landlords and incumbent homeowners putting pressure on policymakers to keep prices high.
It's hard to believe CSGO is already over 10 years old. I remember back at launch people were complaining that this was just CSS aimed at console-plebs (it actually had ports for the xbox 360 and PS3) and a lot of diehard Counter-Strike players were swearing they'd stick to CSS. There were of complaints about headshots being too easy because the hitboxes were a little larger than in CSS.

Valve did an amazing job listening to feedback and supporting their product; I know there are still a lot of people who stick to CSS and even CS 1.6 and I don't mean to de-legitimize their preferences, but today it does seem laughable to suggest that CSGO is just CSS for casuals.
I believe the former is CS:GO and the latter is CS2.
Their 'donor' is Google, their users are us. Without us they have no donor. Rust at least makes some kind of sense because it is a tool they used to build parts of Firefox.

Aside from being the new hotness, what exactly about AI makes sense for Mozilla/Firefox to jump into and have anything to offer? The one obvious thing they could do would be to integrate AI capabilities into the browser for the users benefit (i.e. the most valuable thing they could do to contribute to 'trustworthy AI'. Note that this would not require a new foundation/company... just integrating the capability into the product they already have) But of course Mozilla most likely won't do this... they're going to keep taking moonshots they can't afford. I can't say I'll miss them when they're gone.

It counts connections and uses them as an estimate of value.

However not all connections are equally valuable. And therefore the "law" is incorrect. An estimate in far better agreement with the data is O(n log(n)), and you can find multiple lines of reasoning arriving at that in https://www-users.cse.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/metcalfe.pdf.

No, the model doesn't train on your private code (which is good but also somewhat limiting as in my experience it doesn't provide useful answers that are very specific to your codebase); it's good for generic code though and saves time looking stuff up.

These are tectonic plates bigger than deregulation or whatever. The surplus of the post war years was possible because the US was 50% of the global GDP as the only industrialized area in the world that hadn't been bombed to ash. Since then, the world has rapidly become more competitive. Where we are now is actually great historically speaking, the post war perfection was a blip and generational aberration, and for nearly all human history life has been a struggle.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
These fictions are like using substance abuse to forget about your problems but at a societal level. Sure, you can get high and forget your life sucks but putting in the actual work to make life not suck is better in the long run. We should fix our problems rather than papering over them with damage control and coping mechanisms.
Can you give an example of this? I haven't personally experienced my everyday cost of living of going up due to other factors.

The only thing I've really experienced is the price of real estate/rents causing businesses to charge more, but that's still fundamentally tied to housing/real estate.

In regards to transplants moving to my area
Yes the place I stayed was a crammed together house of people that can only be described as a slightly upgrade over a crack house on the South side. It was in the hood with people selling loose squares on the corner. My presence was only tolerated in the area because I had "business" in the area as a paying tenant to a known member of the neighborhood.

There's no way in hell this was some place that pleasant white upper class families were staying on vacation or something. The people that rented it were happy to have market penetration to people who weren't in the neighborhood to cause problems, and most of the "tenants" were working class people who had one foot in the hood and one foot working their way up in legitimate jobs closer to the loop.

AirBnB IS the new halfway house.

The concept of "rollback netcode" is something that generally only applies to fighting games, shooters with dedicated servers use lag compensation instead which just means that, every time you shoot someone, the hit detection is done on the server but the server rolls back the player's position depending on your ping to make sure their position roughly matches what you saw when you shot. CSGO2 is just improving this so the rolled back player positions can be interpolated between frames instead of only being able to roll back to wherever a player was on an exact tick, which is what it currently does.

I don't disagree with that, although I would argue that we had already established a bit of a 'new normal' where few white collar workers had to commute to work, it went fine, and now there's major actions taken to revert everything, whereas a lot of these other things you're mentioning (I imagine, if we're thinking the same types of things) haven't even shifted to a new normal yet.

To throw a hopefully not that controversial of an example out there, how about the obligation of gift giving and wrapping paper (and lets throw company swag in there, while we're at it). Tons of people give dumb or destined to be unused crap just to meet a societal expectation of giving gifts. I got a whole box of crap from my company as a welcome gift. I use maybe one item from it, the rest are just sitting in the house and will be trashed at some point. And I had to throw away yet another garbage bag of wrapping paper this past Christmas because it's expected to wrap gifts.

But that's the norm, and there hasn't been an established new normal yet. So it's not nearly as infuriating (to me at least) as this intentional clawing back of remote work to stroke the egos of executives.
So, you're only looking at new prices and ignoring the ridiculous prices that people pay to drive huge, four door trucks to their office job?

There's a federal tax credit for electric cars. The Chevy Bolt is $27k. The VW ID.4 is around $32k after the federal credit. There are a whole bunch more.

Regardless, the original point is that EVs aren't practical, and that's not true except for apartment dwellers. The US is covered in suburbs of single family homes and the average commute distance is 41 miles round trip. Electric vehicles are practical.
