Obviously the debt jubilee needs to be paired with higher (that is, non-negative) real interest rates. Keen talks about what a sustainable interest rate regime looks like in a fiat system, and has computer models to argue his case.

A debt jubilee is an emergency surgery to deal with a critical situation. Convincing the patient to eat healthy is also important, but needs to happen afterwards.

I've seen people waiting months to get their hands on a Raspberry pi 4 to self-hosting bunch of apps. Not sure why. Something like an HP Elitebook G2 with a i5 and 8gb ram can be had for $110 on secondary markets like Amazon renewed or ebay. About 10x the performance compared to a Pi 4. Only thing missing is GPIO port. But even that is a easy fix for another $10-15. Only down side is the power draw. Compared to a Pi4, you're going to see an average power draw of 20-40 watts.
Is there a way to talk to copilot after something has been made? For example: I just asked it to search for something on a public api in a comment and let it auto complete the function.

The resulting code was pretty decent except it included a hard coded access_token in the url. This was a blank project, I don't even have an access token for this api - guessing someone posted theirs in a public repo at some point.

Is there a way to talk to copilot at this point to refine the code?
Also maybe they have some loyalty to their US American countrymen. Reminds me of how a majority in polls in the US said that the Pfizer vaccine should be distributed to US Americans first, while people in almost all other countries were more in favor for international ratios. (Although this case isn't equally justified here, since the vaccine was produced by a US company, Pfizer, but developed by a German company, BioNTech.)

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve very much enjoyed traveling, climbing, games, people, etc. But I miss programming and I find that I’m not motivated enough to finish things without knowing someone will use it. Hence my current desire to find a super flexible hourly client.

PiHole shouldn't be writing much to the SD card if at all; Something seems wrong there. Once it boots (a read only affair), it should be running exclusively from memory, no? Maybe periodically updating the rules and saving to disk?
This is not new at all. There is a much stronger competitor existing in the market already: FedML (https://fedml.ai). They have a much larger open-source community, and a well-managed and widely-used MLOps (https://open.fedml.ai).
I don't buy these excuses for Ballmer.

- Massive miss on mobile

- Delayed cloud stuff because of obsession with windows

- Delayed cross platform apps because of obsession with windows for same reason

https://stratechery.com/2018/the-end-of-windows/

> "That memo prompted me to write a post entitled Services, Not Devices that argued that Ballmer’s strategic priorities were exactly backwards: Microsoft’s services should be businesses in their own right, not Windows’ differentiators. Ballmer, though, followed-through on his memo by buying Nokia; it speaks to Microsoft’s dysfunction that he was allowed to spend billions on a deal that allegedly played a large role in his ouster."

I think he ultimately held them back actively with bad strategy and things only started getting better when he was finally gone. Nadella inherited an underdog because the previous decade's decisions caused them to become one.

What I’m saying is, should we still be building engines that rely on “the” head gasket to keep fluids separate?

An engine cylinder at a minimum must deal with: lubrication, fuel, and gasses. The exhaust manifold deals with half of the gases. I can’t recall if common rail injectors are still technically part of the head (I can find pictures where the CRI system sits on the head, with separate gaskets, but I’m not a mechanic).

With modern manufacturing would we not be better off splitting these tasks up so that only a cracked engine block can mix fluids. Not a torn gasket, not a warped head, not a thrown rod (though rods are going away too).
I dont. I just suggested one language that deal with memory safety without an GC. There are multiple other languages besides Rust to choose from.
That just generated an empty test function in a convenient place for me. I'm not just talking about boilerplate, it's definitely a more... organic-feeling sort of pattern matching. In fact, one of the things I find most interesting about it is the sort of mistakes it makes, like generating wrong field names (as if it simply took a guess). This is the sort of thing that I've grown to expect the deterministic tooling of IDEs to get right, so it always surprises me a bit.

By the same token, often it takes a stab at generating code based on something's name (plus whatever context it's looking at) and does a better job than the IDE could, because the IDE just sees datatypes and code structure. It really does feel like a complementary tool.

I think that ship has sailed some time ago, all these big tech companies have been talking about needing to manipulate results to hide such biases for years now (eg making it so an image search for "CEO" shows a balanced mix of all kinds of people instead of honestly reflecting whatever the untouched results might look like).
> The personal politicking of how D&D should/shouldn't be played is annoying

And deeply stupid. Don't like a change? Ignore it. Don't like something that's included in RAW or official sourcebooks? Ignore it. There are no Correctness Police at your table, you can do WTFever you (and your players) want. Want obsidian-black always-evil Drow? Go nuts, nobody cares. Think that's horribly racist? Make them purple and not alignment-locked. Hell, make them albino. No one will stop you. Most of the politics-related changes have been really, really easy to just house-rule out of existence, and most of the things that bothered people about older editions or settings are similarly easy to modify without having to extensively change other parts of the system. It's just a bunch of noise that barely matters at all.

Don't like this extinct creatures manual? Just... don't buy it or use it as a source for your games then? It's so easy.

And yeah, dinosaurs and mammoths and shit have been in D&D basically forever. Some of its major influences were "lost world" fiction and Conan-style prehistorical fantasy, so of course those are in it. D&D doesn't draw primarily from e.g. Tolkien-style high fantasy where dinosaurs and such might seem out-of-place. A source book for extinct animals for D&D falls solidly within the spectrum of "totally normal D&D stuff".

If this is safer and as efficacious as DNP it will be a net health benefit.

The other drug which manipulates mitochondria to promote weight loss is DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol). That works by collapsing the proton motive force that the cell uses to produce most of its ATP chemical energy. Instead of producing ATP, the energy of the proton gradient is lost as heat.

Thus, it’s very easy to overdose on DNP and die by overheating. Your body just creates “infinite” heat uncontrollably until you die.

“Drug” is a term used loosely with DNP: In 1938, the FDA included DNP in a list of drugs potentially so toxic that they should not be used even under a physician's supervision. It’s no longer prescribed anywhere but lives on in niche personal usage for some bodybuilders and atheletes.

It’s primarily an explosive, actually!
Agreed. I played CS back in the beta days and I loved the different maps and things like the hostage and even the VIP scenarios.

I live in the mountains in Colorado and DarkSky was by far the best UX for viewing upcoming weather. The way they presented projected hourly snowfall was especially good, as was the projected snowfall by day.

With Apple Weather, you get a snow icon and a percentage for future days. For DarkSky it was an actual projected snowfall amounts, which is so much more useful. Are we expecting 2 inches? Or 20?

On a daily basis, Dark Sky had a great graph of hourly projections. Apple Weather has a bar chart with no numbers unless you hover on each bar, and it will project 8 hours of snow in the hourly view but then the bar chart only shows a bar on one hour.
Banks earn money by investing and making loans.

As a result, they don't have enough readily available cash to fully reimburse every depositor. This is called "fractional reserve" banking.

The backstop in the USA in case of a bank run is FDIC insurance --- as applied in the case of SVB.

The FDIC also applies rules and regulations to member banks designed to limit and mitigate the reasonably possible effects of a bank run.

Crypto has none of this.

As ever, our shortsightedness is our undoing. The media stopped covering when it stopped being profitable to do so, which is precisely what motivated us to dump gigatons of carbon into our atmosphere to begin with. And it seems no one can make any efforts to halt the damage, unless, of course, it is justified in profit. It all paints a grim portrait of our species.
I never had a breaking update on Raspbian. However, I have run into write errors caused by power failures that required an fsck on the SD from a different computer: I now have a `@reboot touch /forcefsck` cronjob, but it may just be a talisman (IIRC, dirty filesystems get a fsck automatic at boot)

It is not the same UI

It might be functionally the same e.g. It only shows conditions for the next 5 hours - not all day - how can you tell if you need a raincopat if you go ot. I am on an iPhone in portrait mode. DarkSky showed this as a column of data Weather as a row. This is fundamental to the whole UI.

I made this project a while back which has some alignment with your goals:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/healthy-surf/

Right now it filters out entire posts on reddit/comments on youtube/sidebar items on Twitter. But I've been meaning to:

1. Expand the sites where it filters, and possibly have it automatically determine which HTML elements to remove instead of me defining it on a per-site basis

2. Make the filter list user-customizable, and change it from static words and phrases to sentiment analysis

3. User-created list of opinions you don't want to read (e.g. any arguments that are anti-nuclear energy/pro-nuclear energy, depending on your perspective). This one is especially important to me because I find contrarian opinions on certain subjects to be both exhausting and boring, and I find myself engaging with them far too often in a "someone is wrong on the internet" sort of way.

I see the value of your request, too. Sometimes it makes sense to see what a consensus is on something, but the language used to dissent can be sort of toxic.

I suspect they did (note that this layoff / closing was not part of the initial layoff round) and that the between then and now was considering those questions and their impact.

I also suspect that when they got done answering the questions, it came out to be "the cost of trying to sell this to a responsible party and make all the changes to the site to remove integrations (using what is likely a demoralized division of the company) is much more than any possible gains or loss of goodwill."

You can approximate it, but to represent really all properties, in the end it becomes a mirror picture of the actual code you are testing, which then begs the question.

A random sample of inputs that is hidden from the AI also won’t allow it to derive a corresponding implementation. And if the set of sample inputs is not hidden, then the AI is still free to produce an implementations that only works for those sample inputs.
Could this also be achieved with a better rating system that automatically matches you with players of your own level?

alright you mostly circled back to things I agree with. It sure was a circuitous garden path.

>specialised algorithms for board-game playing, that work nothing like humans do with their minds when we play chess, because no human plays chess by "running" alpha-beta minimax and Monte Carlo Tree Search in their head. And so those systems still tell us nothing about how humans play chess

True, but lets not imply that we are true all-domain generalists. If I made a platformer with a quirky physics violating gimmick, you could probably fill in the blanks and figure out how to play it. Now if I handed you a platformer where I have shoved the screen through a 2d fourier transform and you have to play in frequency space, you probably can't do that. The point is we are specialized by evolution for this world with its Newtonian physics and euclidean dimensions and retinal data projected down from 3d to 2d. No one is showing us the games we would suck at. An uncomfortable possibility is that maybe an ad hoc hodge podge of specialised algorithms might actually be the right path. There is no general theory, its all just kludge and patch work.

>digital computers, and human brains, or human minds, are nothing like each other. So being able to do one thing with a computer tells us nothing about doing that thing with a human brain or mind, and vice-versa.

Sure it does. It tells you exactly how its not done on the other!

It can be a model that fails in interesting ways. ChatGPT forces you to put your finger on what exactly differentiates us from a statistical word generator. And, sometimes, we really do learn one off the other, gaining a biologically inspired algorithm or interpreting some brain scans as a known sort of classifier. Let's not undersell this here either.

>We'll know when we know, if we ever do.

Will we? Or will we rationalize refusing to accept it? From how most people talk, the latter.
For some reason I can't open this site on my iPhone, due to the lack of HTTPS, even when tapping "Visit Anyway." I tap it and nothing happens. Anyone know what might be causing this? Maybe it's one of my extensions...

(Also, you gotta love the fact that a site called "perfection kills" doesn't implement HTTPS - fair play to the author.)
I'm not a phone user, so the presentation of weather for me always tends to look fairly different than anything you'd "typically" see on a phone.

That said, I have a hard time imagining how I could improve on the data density, clarity and depth of this 10 day forecast, customized by me, from wunderground.com

https://imgur.com/5PIiB1h.png

You can see clearly:

* 24hr temperature cycles
* cloud cover vs. sun
* wind speeds (with direction)
* precipitation likelihood and amounts
* barometric pressure
* overall conditions

Note only that, but I can mouseover the display and get per-hour specific details for every parameter.

During storm season, with 1 click I can get to the "wundermap" which gives me 45-60 mins of storm tracking display, allowing me to make my own guess on whether or not a given storm complex is going to hit us head on or not, using "local knowledge" to shape my conclusion.

It provides additional legal protection to the employer in the case they decide to terminate the employee during the first X days. Additionally, it serves as a "motivator" for new employees to be on their best behavior and to give it their all, at least for the first x days.

Laws that benefit the company, such as "right to work", mean that employers will often win lawsuits from former employees for things like wrongful termination suits, however companies would prefer to not be sued at all- even if they have a strong case. Court is expensive and a hassle.

That said, I did some moonlighting work for an employment law firm, and they say that they take less than 5% of the prospective clients who contact them, because they (and most law firms who only get paid if the client wins) want to be as sure as possible they will win the case. Of course if the prospective client were willing to pay up-front regardless of the case outcome, I'm sure most law firms would oblige. In such cases, I expect the former employers like to settle out of court to save time and money, even if the odds are good that they'd win in court.

Yeah, EF's Interpolated Execute methods are a massive step up over raw ADO.NET ("assembly"), even if you don't use most of the other modeling tools and context tracking.

The Interpolated family of methods take nice, clean string interpolation like $"Select * from Table where Id = {Id}" and make sure that is properly parametric SQL queries (ie, avoiding things like SQL injection attacks).

It's a killer feature and I have some idea why it lives in the EF side of the house rather than being generally applied across all of ADO.NET, but it should still probably be a more reusable library of its own beyond just EF.
Fixture names are globally unique, it makes it easy to find their definitions e.g., dumb-jump in Emacs works: one keystroke to go to the definition or if it is overridden then it shows available options.
