1. How is this detected by the SEC?

2. Why isn't this something that is easily detectable by the average investor?
It seems to me like there are three distinct groups:

1. Working class with no desire to be capital/power

2. Working class striving to be capital/power

3. Capital class

We could certainly argue about what percentage of the population falls into what bucket or why, but I think these are the real class distinctions we should be looking at.
That was interesting and clearly written, I wish all such articles were as clear.

The problem with this and many other self-reported happiness surveys is that they measure what people think about themselves, rather than actually observing their behaviors.

Generally, Conservatives ideologies (by nature) lean toward conformism, and being happy is a type of conformism.

Looking at natural experiment representations of happiness (like obesity/compulsive eating, alcohol abuse, etc.), the narrative is much less clear

EDIT: Even moreso, at a global level, liberalism appears to be huge positive indicator of self-reported happiness [0], so take this with a grain of salt.

I know someone from FSU (former Soviet Union). Their grandparents saved for decades, literally keeping their cash under their mattress. The grandmother wanted to buy a car but the grandfather said it’s better to save. One day they woke up in December of 1991 and that money was almost worthless. “We should have bought a car”, that grandmother never let her husband live it down.

Financial decisions are not so black and white. IMO only basic rules apply: live below your means, save more than you spend, avoid debt, etc. Any advice beyond that is a crapshoot.
Traditional banks have almost always had "high fee, no yield" account types that you can sign up for where you pay high fees and get a guarantee of high liquidity in exchange. These account types used to be more strongly regulated (to insure this isn't just the bank advertising one thing and doing another) for banks classified as "Credit Unions" but that hasn't been the case in decades. (But for some decades it used to one of the pros specifically for Credit Unions because the high fees doubled as Credit Union dues, in turn limiting membership and overall risk of bank runs.)

Generally, advice is to not use high fee/low yield accounts because you lose money on them (monthly fees means that the more months you store your money in your account the less money you have each month, that's not everyone's preferred "1:1" storage).

Of course, you are still relying on (what little remains of) regulation and the FDIC that a bank takes your high fees and does the right thing with your money and the right prioritization in a run-like environment that they've promised to do.
When encoded images are 20-30 bytes, few byte savings because of encoding seem irrelevant. But it of course depends on the context.

> I can't remember last time I paid for Windows.

Every time you buy a new Laptop or pre-build computer with Windows installed you (very likely) implicitly bought a license.

But I agree that due to Windows handing out a lot of "free upgrades" even outside of their official supported upgrade path they missed out on a lot of License cost, but made more users upgrade so probably worth it.

Most important Microsoft mainly cares about Businesses buying Pro versions of licenses, potential in huge batches.

Given in Canada it's cheaper to just buy a small Intel PC than a raspberry pi 4 of late, I've been exploring alternatives lower down ... ST-Micro's stuff as an alternative to Arduino (which is also $$$ here).

I'd imagine they've already been doing lots of RL in this direction, which explains the improvements in GPT4, but it's still an issue. Maybe they can eventually eliminate hallucinations completely, but I could also imagine that it will end up being difficult to do that without lessening its creativity across the board. Perhaps making things up is fundamental to how LLMs work and trying to stop it from doing that will kill the magic. I'm not an AI researcher so I really have no idea--just speculating.

I'm not at all trying to downplay the power or significance of LLMs, btw, in case that's why I'm getting downvoted... I'm using copilot/GPT4 every day and they are massive productivity boosters. But currently I see them as tools for producing rough drafts that need to be revised and checked over. If they can't solve hallucinations, LLMs will stay in this lane, which is still incredible, amazing, and useful, but won't necessarily get us to the AI endgame that the hype is predicting.
Both "smart people have smart children" and 90% of this forum being smarter than their parents could be true if "being on this forum" was selected on intelligence.

I don't have the time to work through the math concretely, but intuitively, imagine that the intelligence of parents is normally distributed, and the intelligence of their children is a tighter normal distribution around the parents' intelligence. Set the cutoff for "participating on HN" to to some threshold. Given the right set of parameters, most of the "weight" in the aggregate child distribution above the threshold will come from the long tails of the child distributions of parents in the fat part of the parent distribution.
I believe 4k pages works with Asahi Linux today. However the CPU can do 4k and 16k pages, the GPU is 16k pages only. So you give up accelerated 3D to run 4k pages.
That’s not really what happens though. Truck drivers don’t disappear. They just become “truck driver attendants” who serve only to attend to occasional human requiring edge cases. They don’t require a commercial driver license and they pay minimum wage. And thus the lower class grows.
I mostly agree with your comment, but I don't think we've really "bent the curve" all that much. RCP8.5 was always the highest accelerating emission scenario, not BAU (flat or low emissions growth). In fact, global emissions of CO2 have never been higher, and are still growing. The world is by no means "transitioning away from fossil fuels". We're tracking towards the middle or high middle of the emissions scenarios. We're still not pointed the right direction.
All three are just bad as hell.
Hardly on its own. I would wager in a large part due to terrible government policies and their NIMBY enablers.
Looks interesting. Have you needed or found any good ways to detach the wrapped code from the terminal where you first launch the wrapper? (for security mostly) I haven't found a good way to do that with bwrap other than using sudo or su and their pty feature. bwrap's --new-session flag didn't play nice with interactive programs in my attempts.
That's funny: while there was clearly some work done on the website, it is very bad: on my phone there's no simple way to go from one section to the next!
The problem with Don Norman's new book
I'm curious how you got that from this article. To quote, "SVB actually did relatively little lending, for a bank, and had rather a lot of safe bonds." That is, they were run like you would expect a small regional bank that doesn't like milking interest out of their region to be run. Straight forward take in deposits and stick them somewhere with silly modest returns.

Are there other sources going into shady things they were doing?
Oddly, it looks like colorspace issues, as I've had these issues intermittently with BlurHash.
We use Fargate, and what we launch is tightly coupled to our application (background jobs spin down and spin up tasks via the SDK) so for now, we aren't doing anything with IaC, other than CI deployment.
My memory is that every ring topology had pretty nasty failure characteristics around "a single misbehaving/failing client."

Which Ethernet has too, but can generally tolerate a much higher level of imperfect reality, while still providing degraded service.

Before you could get plentiful high-quality NICs and cabling, graceful degradation was a killer feature.

Show HN: Dungeon Map Doodler Beta - Free online map drawing tool
This is a D&D map making tool I've been working on for a while now, but I just added some new features to the beta that I think HN users might find neat. When building a world map, you can use "Dynamic Brushes" to draw organic looking terrain. This is achieved entirely with svg filters and javascript canvas, no fancy libraries or anything. This came with a pretty large rewrite of some of the underlying code, so I'm sure there's a number of bugs I haven't come across, but I'd love to hear your opinions on it!

From the context of the article it's pretty clear that the author was talking about the fragment sizes needed for analysis.

Comparing a new thing to an old familiar thing or a current fact can really help people overcome irrational bias against the fear of the unknown.

Metaphors, similes, and analogies are all comparisons and all recognized as powerful forms of rhetoric.
I think it's quite a bit more descriptive and objective than "considered harmful."
Unless you are a biologist. Excel is infamous for mangling names of genes and thinking they are dates. In fact some genes had to be renamed because it was considered easier to do that than get Microsoft to fix the problem (or you know, just not use Excel, which many non-programmer types, including many bench biologists, use as a general data holder, akin to an adhoc database)

Why would anyone care about balancing the budget?

To the extent that debt (or debt-service cost) to GDP matters, balancing the budget is way outside of what is needed to address it. The concerns are, in the short-term, ability to pay debt service out of current revenue, and, in the longer term, assuring the GDP grows faster than debt. Neither of those requires balancing the budget.

You removed a major conditional.

I do not care if the CEOs become rich, the dream of getting rich via business success is why capitalism works, what I care about is if they do it by underpaying their employees because of a power differential.
What do you mean exist? All money is just a promise basically. A promise to get some good at a future date and exchange it for that illusory number, be it paper or electronically. By that description yes all that money existed. They were promises made in contractual and legal forms. And behind those promises lie pensions, payrolls and a big part of the economy. Without those promises holding and some basic level of trust being maintained economic activity becomes very difficult

>the intelligence of their children is a tighter normal distribution around the parents' intelligence.

Again, this is the core fallacy of eugenics.

How many current US PhD's are the children/grandchildren of immigrants from underdeveloped countries who lacked education and worked manual jobs (or maybe even went through extended periods of unemployment)?

EDIT: To be clear, I know Western culture has pushed a narrative that intelligence is an intrinsic thing that anyone can have, but in practice, it's a reflection of learned skills like reasoning and abstraction. That's the entire point of education, if you don't practice those skills (with some exceptions), you are likely worse at them.

Setting DEBUG = False doesn't cause in Internal Server Issue. The issue is caused by something else, having DEBUG = True just means Django will return a detailed error page, instead of a generic 500 error page.

IIRC, DEBUG = True also used to leak memory, which doesn't matter so much for local development, where it's intended to be used.
In my experience liberals tend to have less coherent philosophies and understanding about how the world works, and more often than conservatives have "nothing matters" nihilistic beliefs, so I'm not too surprised they have more mental illness and lower happiness. They also more often advocate odd life paths (anti-marriage, anti-kids, pro-drugs, pro-transgenderism, sex-positive, polycules, etc.) that tend to result in more unhappiness.

Exactly. The buggy drivers became tax drivers, the horses became glue.

The automobile was a great invention for the participants on the right side of that bell-curve, and absolutely horrible for the participants on the left side of the bell-curve.

There's no guarantee, universal law, or dogmatic hit-the-brakes switch which will ensure that (without a major economic adjustment) further technological development won't put an ever-growing fraction of people to the left of the 'useful enough to be employable for a living wage' side of the bellcurve.

Inflation is also good for those that own assets as their relative value to dollar increases.

Everyone has a mix of:
Debts, money they've loaned to others, amount of assets owned, and amount of dollars owned and wages (recurring income in dollars).

So, inflation is most harmful to wage earners with few assets - and most helpful to non-wage earners with many assets.

Increasing wealth disparity between workers (most people) and those who own the most assets. Those who own large amounts of assets largely don't own dollars - they own real estate, securities, etc..

The bank issue is a strawman - simply a matter of SVB (and others) making bad interest rate bets and losing.
> There's a lot of new industries now

And if this tech is really revolutionary there won't be new industries? Have we peaked?

> but are you confident enough to bet that there won't be less need for general developers and engineers and not have a plan in case?

I am confident there will not be a lack of work. Whether the roles are similar is a different question. Actuaries and accountants look very different now to before excel was common place. Web developers were not a thing before the internet.

If the revolution comes, and jobs are no longer needed, perhpas there is an industry for prompt engineers. Or model fine tunning experts. Dev ops roles to connect super computers to Modelling APIs. Who knows, but the skills of a decent Engineer are on problem solving, on learning new ideas, on applying problem solving laterally those are such broad skills that is hard for a job market to exist without needing them.
Then you live in Antarctica, it's winter, and you're out of scope.
I asked ChatGPT 4 to tell me from that article the key actionable takeaways people can apply to their daily lives. I'm sleep deprived and prefer that to reading a long-winded article. Here's the response:

"Firstly, it highlights the importance of daydreaming and mind-wandering as a way to promote creativity, problem-solving, and self-reflection. Readers are encouraged to carve out time in their schedules for these activities, rather than dismissing them as distractions.

Secondly, the review emphasizes the importance of boredom in stimulating creativity and the generation of new ideas. It suggests that people should embrace boredom and resist the urge to fill every moment of their day with stimulation, as this can stifle creative thinking.

Thirdly, the book review discusses the potential benefits of practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and journaling in promoting self-reflection and reducing stress. It suggests that these practices can help people to better understand their own thought processes and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.

Finally, the review highlights the role of technology in shaping our attentional habits and urges readers to be mindful of their use of technology. It suggests that people should be intentional about their use of technology and take steps to reduce distractions and increase focus, such as turning off notifications and limiting screen time.

Overall, the book review provides actionable takeaways that readers can apply to their daily lives, such as prioritizing daydreaming and mind-wandering, embracing boredom, practicing mindfulness and journaling, and being intentional about technology use."
You're probably right. Doing that without China will be difficult though, and finding something to replace the profitability of their services long-term may prove impossible.

1. Is completely wrong. We have vastly grown the bottom end of the skills market by automating jobs to levels so simple that anyone can do it. They are bad jobs. But there are many of them. The problem is that we have people with normal IQs doing these jobs too, because there is not enough jobs above them.
Over the years I've seen numerous thinkpad tweaks for wifi, sleeping with the lid closed, restarting wifi on lid open, numerous tweaks for the function keys (audio up/down/mute, brightness up/down), clock speed/thermal management, reading battery levels, etc.

Seems like the #1 reason thinkpads are well supported is that they are relatively popular among the people who modify the OS and kernel for compatibility.

I don't recall that Lenovo is a particularly big contributor to the linux kernel.

variance/standard deviation (also btw, a sum of squares concept)

it marks the inflection points on the gaussian curves, but so what, the 2nd derivative points to something significant about the integral? not really. But even if we accept that it does, what does two standard deviations mean? a linear double on the x coordinates says what about the a hairy population density function? nothing.
