I'm certainly not any kind of expert on Turkey's economy. I'll just link to graphs that show the effects, someone smarter can debate the cause and effect.

The rate cuts in Turkey began in September 2021:

https://tradingeconomics.com/turkey/interest-rate

The inflation rate soared from 20% to over 80% soon afterwards:

https://tradingeconomics.com/turkey/inflation-cpi

It's now stabilized to "only" 55% because of decreased energy price pressures, apparently.

The M2 money supply in Turkish liras is climbing, but not in the same proportion as the rate cuts and inflation:

https://tradingeconomics.com/turkey/money-supply-m2

Turkey has also been spending its foreign currency reserves to prop up the lira. They've experimented with extraordinary measures like a government guarantee to protect Turkish account holders against currency depreciation, in an effort to make people keep liras in banks rather than hard currency:

So Erdogan's Turkey is an interesting basket case all around — one for future economics textbooks maybe.
Which pointed out that regulating the banks is mostly pointless. They always find loopholes. The only sensible regulation is to make sure that banks never gets too big to fail. This way a bankruptcy will be mostly inconsequential even if the government insures deposits.

Ask HN: What audio/sound-related OSS projects can I contribute to?
Hey! I wanted to research the possibilities of participating in open-source projects, preferably related to audio or sound processing. Do you have any projects to recommend? Preferably ones that are either technically interesting, solve a useful problem or have lively community and are in active development.

I'm not specifying anything more (language, etc.), so that I can get as wide of a selection, as possible and so that this post is useful for others more.
Contrast to Bing AI which in my simpletons mind is currently the gold standard when it comes to usable answers (i.e. maybe not per se for creative answers or weird experiments):

> How long will it take before Google shuts down Bard?

> I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any information on when Google plans to shut down Bard. However, Google has recently launched Bard in the US and UK, and it is still in the early stages of development.
First I'd heard of it. Although looking back, I've tested lots of plurals and can't recall one ever being right. Sort of degrades the game to have an unwritten rule like that.
> the JVM was not as fast compared to pre-compiled native code as it was being promised

Well head-for-head Java will still lose to C++ in many benchmarks, but that's not really due to compiled code quality, it's more about language semantics. Java is very fast for the sort of language it currently is. The big wins for C++ are that Java doesn't have value types or support for vector operations. Both are under development, actually vector ops is basically done but it's waiting for support for value types (see discussion elsewhere).

Also GCd languages trend towards a functional style without much in-place mutation, whereas C++ trends in the opposite direction, so C++ will sometimes use the CPU cache more effectively just due to prevailing habits amongst programmers.

> The kernel has to assume nothing; it can dictate how userspace processes behave.

Yes in theory you could fuse the language VM with the kernel and research operating systems like MSR Singularity did that. But a normal kernel like NT, Linux or Darwin can't do this and not only for backwards compatibility. The JVM will do things like move a virtual thread stack back and forth from the garbage collected heap and do so on the fly. Unless the kernel contains a JIT compiler, GC and injects lots of runtime code into the app's process it's going to find it tricky to do the same. By the time you've done the same you haven't implemented better kernel threads, you've made the JVM run in the kernel.
I’ve had a pair of them for a decade or so, sold in the US under the “Swki Edge” brand but made by Green Bell (not sure if it’s their top-of-the-line variant, though). Very sharp and effective (they cut your nails rather than crush or shatter them), definitely recommended.

For travel, the compact Zwilling ones (made in Japan, not Germany, probably also by Green Bell) fold and lock down into a tiny package and are also great.
> bonds that banks are holding has declined massively.

That would be an impaired investment. We know that of the ~200bn at SVB around 50% of it was in their hold-to-maturity accounting bucket with no provision of any loss.

Credit Suisse bonds were hedged / short duration.

The only way to really kill inflation is strongman signaling. The market has to believe you are willing to endure the pain and keep raising rates in order to kill inflation.

And the mistake earlier was basically propping up the world economy during covid. I don't know exactly what else they could've done?
man i hope there are online calculators that lets people visualize the costs of training these things.
Socialism isn't just "government does stuff".
It's a matter of perspective, I would argue that C++ makes it really hard to write the right amount, especially when you want to use overly-abstracted third party code that forces you into making a deal with the devil sometimes.

But then again, it's a matter of perspective.

You can make an async function contain an await at more places than it previously had. When writing code in colored languages your code tends towards lots of stuff being marked async, so more 'await' points being introduced can change behavior.
> Note then that there's an inherent conflict in programming language design space between introducing too many abstraction building tools and low-level details.

Best C++ code that deals with low level details is as least abstracted as possible.

One of the reasons C is used for writing operating systems kernels is that it doesn't hide details. Imagine Linux kernel written in OOP way with design patterns and SOLID principles. :)
Well, they weren't exactly. They were still the music of the upper classes, and arguably the middle classes of a few very wealthy places such as Vienna.

Where's the source for the bonus figure only being top managers, doesn't seem to be in article? At a bank, everyone gets a bonus - it's a standard part of annual comp.

> it may be the only tool the Fed has

Traditionally, raising taxes or cutting government spending was another way to limit the money supply - and hence curb inflation.

The Fed is doing the best it can using monetary policy because the federal government is too fractured to have a cogent fiscal policy response. But fiscal tools probably would be useful to have in this environment.

We’ll see what happens when the now higher interest rate debt payments that we’re using to fund federal spending come due. Consumers aren’t the only ones that have gotten used to easy credit and cheap borrowing over the last 20 years.
I think this is my point - If Credit Suisse went bust, it is the biggest regulatory failure in banking.

The regulations in switzerland are no different to any other bank in the world, likely they were more stringent requirements to hold larger quantities of capital and mark-to-market more instruments on their balance sheet.

> make sure that banks never gets too big to fail

Well the regulators just took two too-big-to-fail banks and merged them ...
why not just put all that into a function, and at the callsite just use a `try` ? that should work

fn do_foo(allocator: std.mem.Allocator, ...) ... { ... }

const do_foo_ret = try do_foo(...)

so there is only 1 `try` instance...

> Increase supply of thing, thing becomes worth less.

So as the supply chain continues to improve, prices should come down?

Inflation is too much money, chasing too few goods. It's the push/pull between money supply and goods in the market that drives inflation. Money can't be talked about in a vacuum.
> unlike with previous big innovations (cloud, iphone, etc), incumbents will not sit on their laurels with the AI wave

Wasn’t “cloud” also added to major products? Even Adobe relies on that heavily. Similarly, most big companies (including Adobe) offer an App Store app.
It's not socialism.

It's just an inevitable effect of capitalism.

The idea that 'the market decides' is a complete myth. In reality the economy is too interlinked for this to ever be allowed to happen.
> almost 1,000%

Well 0.1 -> 1.0 is a 900% increase, want to 1.0 -> 4.0 is "just" 300% so I'm not sure if this is a very good way to measures increases in interest rates...

> regression of interest rates from whenever to now, draw a line that's never violated until

Given the data (https://www.macrotrends.net/2015/fed-funds-rate-historical-c...) I would expected such line to be nearly useless due to a very low R2 (too lazy to actually calculate it...)

But yeah, even back in last March the bond markets were not expecting that the rates will be above 2.75% in 12 months.
While I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, I wonder about the estimated figures.

What’s the staff size of CS - could it be 10,000 top managers. Or 1,000 top managers but over ten years becomes ~5,000 if turnover averages at every 2nd year.

Despite investment bank bonuses being very high compared with other industries, 32mil is just too insane to believe!
I thought that "socialism" has negative connotations for me, as an eastern European. But clearly it's nothing compared to how hated this word was in the US in 1910s. Interesting quote, anyway! Wikipedia says that the novel is semi-autobiographical by the author.

I'm willing to accept climate controls within a touch interface so long as the "auto" mode is as competent as the auto mode in my 2013 BMW 1-series. I set it to 22°C at medium intensity. It's rare that I ever have to touch the climate controls, and exceedingly rare that I need to touch the climate controls while in motion. The only manual intervention I perform toggling "max AC" for a few minutes on an especially hot day — and that's pressed while not in motion.

I've used "auto" modes in many cars and they're often rubbish. For example blasting unpleasant hot air in your face if you ask for 22°C and it's 21°C outside. Whereas the "stratification" feature of BMW climate control means the upper vents will never blow hot air in your face unless you override it.
I don't miss those. We seem to have a different understanding of what abstraction is. It certainly isn't reusing some pre-canned concepts in all the wrong places.
Maybe it's out of reach in terms of budget? Maybe they don't have the knowhow? Maybe the attack vector is someone in the home?

Because it couldn't possibly be more complex and attributable to other causes like, oh I don't know, kicking fathers out of their children's lives (with statistics from the US Census openly stating most all custodial parents are mothers and proportions are statistically unchanged over the years)?

"In the spring of 2002, an estimated 13.4 million parents had custody of 21.5 million children under 21 years of age whose other parent lived somewhere else. About 5 of every 6 custodial parents were mothers (84.4 percent) and 1 in 6 were fathers (15.6 percent), proportions statistically unchanged since 1994 (Table A)." [1]

"Custodial parents have become more likely to be fathers over the past 24 years, increasing from 16.0 percent in 1994 to 20.1 percent in 2018...

The number of custodial parents has varied somewhat over the past 24 years, including the proportion of fathers who are custodial parents. In 1994, about 1 of every 6 custodial parents were fathers (16.0 percent). By 2018, that proportion reached 1 in 5 (20.1 percent) (Appendix Table 2)." [2]

You can also save yourself time. I see so many people use enormous amounts of time reading headlines about companies and consuming videos about the economy and all that jazz to stay up to date and make "informed trades". But in the end a lot of that time is wasted. And you might say that's ok if that is their hobby, but lets be honest, the reason people do this is because they got sold on the idea that they can get rich from it.
> as "inflation doesn't cause inflation" since it meant any expansion of the money supply.

Since 1950's, population has doubled and GDP is up 10x.

What should money supply be for it to cause zero inflation? 1x? 2x? 10x?

It really isn't only managers. Basically any trader/IB person expects a bonus if the had a good year and they don't particularly care about the whole company's profit situation as long as they know they made money. People still don't really seem to be aware of the fact that in a big bank you can have 5-6 people outside of management positions earning more than some of the C level employees.

Example: You have a credit trading desk and an equity trading desk. Your equity trading desk makes 1 billion, your credit desk loses 2 billion. Sure, you lose 1 billion in total, but you still pay the equity desk the bonus on the 1 billion profit.
I don't think anyone in such position would do a simple regression to guess interests.

In 2020 and 2021, we already had tons of talk of upcoming inflation due to the stimulus pacjages. I myself took some precautions, and I am really not at all savvy.

The management team of a major bank would certainly be aware of the risk of inflation given the massive uptick in money supply and that the fed would be forced to raise interests as soon as the inflation manifests.

I think incompetence is an easier explanation. Years of ZIRP bubbled incompetent or lazy people to the top.

> Maybe, but the latest Fed action violates a 40-year downtrend in interest rates, so it was exceptionally improbable from a historical perspective.

imo this is very flawed thinking, a once in a 40 year event is almost 100% likely to happen in an average persons life — maybe twice. I think when it comes to either your life savings or gigantic amounts of money like banks manage it’s irresponsible to not consider economic cycles that even only happen once per 100 years because of how likely it is to happen once is your life and be absolutely devastating.

I stand by my statement, this is 100% on SVBs amateur hour monkey level thinking.
> It's like Tucker Carlson said - it's no wonder that the young people support socialism, when they can't afford a house and face massive economic uncertainty even in professional fields, etc.

What? Tucker Carlson said something sensible and actually correct for once in his life?

For real though - remember the saying "If at age 20 you are not a Communist then you have no heart. If at age 30 you are not a Capitalist then you have no brains"?

It's just the same: by age 30, the generations of my parents and before generally had a stable job with one earner earning enough to feed a family, afford to buy a house and a car. Basically, back when that quote was said, people at 30 had actual assets to their name which (at least fundamentalist) Communism would have threatened to take away... but our generation? What do we have that actually belongs to us? Our homes are rented, our cars are beaters barely road-worthy, financed/leased or we don't have cars at all, our computers are often enough simply the machines we get from work, our phones are rented from our phone providers and our "pensions" are a virtual joke - the pensions in the US are a gamble on the stock market (and heaven forbid if there is an actual correction - stocks are fundamentally overvalued by at least 50%, but correcting that downward would wipe out so many people that politicians have no other choice than to feed the beast), and thanks to medical debt being a thing and elderly care costs exploding as well we can't even expect to inherit meaningful wealth. Oh and the old tale our boomer parents told us from "you have to waste your childhood with learning and learning and learning otherwise you end up poor" turned out to result in "we are poor anyway".

So, why should we defend a capitalist system that doesn't even give us anything in return? Why should we defend the right of rich people to exist when we have to struggle to make rent and food each month? Why should we not take up the pitchforks?!

I have one of her quotes on my office door: "The most dangerous phrase in the language is, 'we've always done it that way.'" It's applicable way more often than it should be.
It's hard to have any conclusive number on this, it's not only about inflation etc. but also the cost of alternative ways of achieving the required octane (e.g. increasing production of reformate or alkylate, or the refinery buying external blendstocks like ethanol or MTBE), which varies a lot over time (due to technical advancements) and place (what kind of equipment does a refinery have installed), etc.

From a 1998 article (https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/d3706d00-3d97-495d-8b8c-.... ) it estimates between $0.01-$0.03/liter for lead removal. US gasoline prices in 1990-2000 were at around $1.20/gallon which works out to about $0.32/liter. Taking the middle value of $0.02/liter for lead removal that would be around 6%. Just as a back-of-the-envelope calculation. I think in reality in many places that cost delta at pump the is lower since the usage of ethanol as an octane enhancer shifts the cost to various agricultural subsidy programs.
I would agree with you. I don't use C++, it is too much of a mess.

The ill-defined nature of inflation is an extremely important and often overlooked fact.

Another interesting problem with the concept of inflation:

Thirty years ago, what would've been the "consumer price" of a modern smartphone? Millions, easily.

Same goes for many other technologies that have fallen in price rapidly. (Big screen TVs, speakers, computers, anything with a screen, a CPU or a wireless communication chip really.)

Is this deflation?
So how about a quick M-x psychoanalyze-chatgpt ? (Since psychoanalyze-pinhead became defunct pithed.)

Personally I would recommend Colab or another notebook environment like a Lambda machine.

Much cheaper, and simpler than a bare metal machine, data ingress/egress is hard though for Colab you can just mount a Gdrive.

Unfortunately the API for training on M* chips (via MPS) is apparently still extremely buggy, so we have a ways to go before that is fully mainstream. And yes, I know that PyTorch just mainlined their mps support last week too...but from what I've heard the low level interface itself still needs some work. D:
For me that's the biggest takeaway.. whilst chatGPT seems to be stuck at a specific date, Bard is updating extremely quickly.

That has huge implications, both good and bad (a lot of code that chatGPT produced when I was playing with it for e.g. sveltekit is outdated)
