The parent's point is that these events are not making the rich any richer than they would be.

Anyone with debt is better off with higher inflation as the amount required to pay back is worth less. Anyone who gave money away for interest takes a haircut. The richer entities usually loan money so this is better for the poor with debt. If wages don't raise than this changes
A small example that does this very well is the “Streaks” app on iOS.

I often wish that completing iOS/MacOS reminders had more “juice”, especially compared to dismissing them.
> [...] better off of they "re-tooled" as you called it. But they literally cannot afford the risk [...]

Or to even afford the re-tool. I have a friend who's struggled to find a job for the last few years in the greater LA region; their background is in acting and they don't have a lot of experience in anything to meet the barrier for entry for most decent-if-low-paying white collar work, and they're already underwater in a bunch of ways so they literally can't afford the cost of any training that would open up other opportunities.

I've thought a lot recently about how crap the US is in providing "second tries" in general, and it honestly really scares me. My wife and I are fortunate in that our "first choice" of what to specialize in when we were 18 were things in relatively high demand with decent compensation. (My wife would scoff at this; I work in tech, she's in the veterinary field, and our pay disparity is staggering.) But suppose someone (like my friend) didn't do that, and they made the maybe-reasonable assumption they'd be able to scrape by doing crap work until something better came along? Then comes a pandemic, then comes an insane labor market, then comes spiking inflation and CoL--now they've exhausted their reserves (which, statistically, most Americans have effectively no reserves [1]), their outlook remains bleak, but their back is to the wall.

Yet, the "bootstrap" mentality is what so many people seem to reference when confronted with situations like this; the single parent who went to night classes for months to become an RN, or the janitor that worked their way up to being a department head. These stories abound in the American zeitgeist, but I think it's just an extension of the "just world" fallacy.

It's comically evil to cut such a small amount of money for the state's public libraries under pretty much any circumstance (The total budget is ~50 billion dollars). Libraries should be considered some of our crowning achievements: (nearly) free and unprivileged access to as much knowledge as we can cram into a single building.

Unfortunately, one of the primary political parties is actively waging war on education and information.

> What do you think putting more money into circulation does to demand & nominal purchasing power?

Ideally people would save for a rainy day. But people don't, and can't, always do this. Because for some this is the rainy day.

Non-ideally I would assume that most demand increases would go for non-groceries, and non-commodities in general, such as housing and travel, though I would expect some increase in durable goods commodity prices as people replace older goods with newer. Yet here we have grocery price increases. Are salaries in the grocery production chain going up 18%? Warehouse costs? I doubt it. The price increases are mainly coming from elsewhere, not from money printing.
To be clear, they are not losing $22,000 in incremental costs per unit sold. They are spending more in fixed costs like research and development than they are earning at present from all their EV sales. That lose is actually pretty low considering how new and limited their EV lines are right now.

That's pretty interesting. Really cool to see from a theory POV.

As an art person, the cover stands out immediately--it seems a very likely case study in how AI can make expression and visual storytelling seem like lost arts, further separating the elements of design from the principles of design.

But I can only guess that the art is created by AI, since there's no cover credit, no mention of it in the writeup that I can see, etc. Presumably if a human made it, the author would see fit to credit them.

(And--if a human illustrated this, I'm sorry, but her left-side digits forced my hand! A known AI art problem that lingers even given recent improvements...)

The writing does seem to be a masters-level course in telling rather than showing. Which is a no-no. I do wonder if this kind of specific directive--show, don't tell--could be integrated though, and to what degree.

The writing also lacks suitable expressiveness for this genre or even any-genre writing, and I would love to see deltas vs. a really experienced and authenticity-focused author-editor with a strong feel for characterization. Teasing apart the characters being another area with obvious improvements to "cover."

If someone offered a class called "I am a professional writer and will show you how I took an AI story framework to professional completion", I would sign up ASAP. Knowing, and celebrating, that it's going to be an exercise in subjectivity! Well-honed subjectivity is definitely the new objectivity as far as AI goes. (Or something like that)

So, I agree with the author that there are some big creativity issues but particularly within the realm of expressiveness. There are so many forms of expressiveness under-utilized here that I could even see myself preferring e.g. a dictionary to this particular novel.

But as a tool, fantastic as expected.

BTW I loved that it added a riddle, umprompted--that was fun to see.

I don't know how Valve will behave in the long term, but so far this has been one of the best things about Steam (other great things include auto management of updates and making multiplayer Just Work).

Our Steam games library goes back well over a decade and anything we ever want to play still works. Separately, during that same time period we bought 4-5 consoles, and currently exactly zero of those console games are playable because over time the consoles fall into disuse or peripherals break, then the consoles get boxed up, are too much of a hassle to get out when you have a slight hankering to play a game, and then eventually they just get tossed/donated away.

Apart from a Steam Deck or something similar, I don't foresee us ever buying a console again. Now, if we could only get Nintendo to be just a software company...
No. This is a reference to the show "Arrested Development"

Everybody was wondering how they were managing to release stuff this quickly. This is how. It's not that they don't know how to build web applications, it's that building it solidly takes longer, so it's a hacked together kludge of things that breaks whenever you leave the happy path
> Asset prices are highly inversely correlated to interest rates

this is true in the short term because a lot of assets are held with borrowed money. when interest rates go up those assets get sold to cancel the debt and bring down the market value.

however, either if inflation is sustained or interest rates go down, asset values will inevitably bounce back, but money will NEVER recover its value.
In my experience, removing any load from developers just allows them to move to other tasks that were on hold because there isn't enough developer time. Productivity would have to be increased by a lot, like over 100%, before it starts making sense to lay off developers.

Although I'm sure it depends on the industry and company.
> If OP were asking about a public school role, I'd say that your reasoning would be a little more understandable.

A teacher is a teacher, whether in public school role, or your local swimming coach or gym trainer. The job of a teacher is to expand your capabilities, to help you see a more capable you and help you get there, one step at a time. The major hurdle is that humans (regardless of economic background) have "bad brains" and many times the learners have horrible expectations about what education is meant to be. There is an effort to build an image for education as a comfortable journey. That's a dangerous image for civilization, and for people of all economic classes. Education is the great equaliser. Remember, when euclid said "There is no royal road to geometry", it was to an emperor! The emperor had his own goals ("royal road to learning"), but such a thing doesn't exist, whether in public schools, or physical exercise, or any other capability such as music/painting. A real teacher will remove the misconception (like Euclid did with the emperor). False salesmen will "teach" you geometry in 3 easy steps :)
The devil is entirely in the details unfortunately, and it will make GPT basically unusable for anyone but existing software engineers for doing actual non-trivial programming tasks. At least how it is now.

Fair enough, I was only thinking about inflation resulting from the war. You are right about the other things, and Brexit is undoubtedly a factor there.

> the left in {{CURRENTYEAR}} is not defined by these people from the 20th century.

Ho ho. That's like saying communism isn't influenced by Marx because he's dead. If anyone reads any leftist philosophy that's what they're getting. Who do you think the left's thought leaders are then, and how do they repudiate the past wrong-think or do they pretend it's not there?

For instance, if you read some of the earlier American political leaders they were racist and owned slaves, and now their parties repudiate these views and actions. Where are the leftists that disclaim forced collectivism and the rest of the centuries of nonsense, if you want to tell me that the movement changed?

Last I looked though, socialists and communists are still a central part of the movement.

> > more focused on policy than identity

That's easy - community groups of citizens motivated to fix something. You aren't worrying about a name and national attention and the intellectual legacy of your team, you're just a bunch of parents doing what needs to be done. It gets rarer the further you go from the individuals.

<< Even a "justified" shooting by a cop should be considered a horrific failure of process.

I think this is where we might disagree. I can't comment for other countries. I can comment a little about Chicagoland. If there is a failure, it is not the failure of the process ( here understood as policing ). At this point, 'justified shooting' is merely what I would classify as 'necessary violence'. I am not using that word lightly, because actual violence only creates problems.

It is the failure of:

1. Society that allowed a given issue to fester long enough to move beyond tension
2. Individuals' environment that contributed to it
3. Individuals' family and fiends
4. The individual

Police merely deals with the aftermath. I think you got it wrong.
https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/ shows that producing more stuff per person since 1978 hasn't fixed inflation (not graphed there), and we can afford less of it because real wages haven't kept up.
It's from Arrested Development.
Efficiency of energy and all production and services has increased extremely much in the past decades. All that surplus is being sucked away somewhere and wasted. If you look, it's not hard to find: Millions and millions of people not working for a living or working pretend jobs. And most of them get very well compensated for that.

The only reason for a general decrease in quality of life is because the rulers have determined that the population is more easily controlled the less freedom they have. There is no investment that pays better than investing in the poverty of others.
This is really good progress on one of the weakest points of ChatGPT, the ability to produce meaningful calculations. By the time Bard is out, it will look so outdated it's not even funny.
I think it hallucinates when the response returned from a query is too long - if it exceeds the token limit, ChatGPT appears to invisibly truncate it and then hallucinate to make up for the missing data.
It seems you didn’t read the chat itself. Alpha didn’t actually say the same. It said the units for uranium and calories are incompatible. To which chat gpt merrily computed a result regardless, pointing out that while you could live on uranium for 26 years it’s toxic and radioactive and ignored the steer from alpha that it’s not just ill advised it’s impossible. I think that was their point. Alpha detected garbage in and gave an error, and Chatgpt locked all humans in matrix pods and force fed them one gram of uranium every 26 years.

> i originally had wanted to monitor the filesystem in addition to network, since lsm allows that. however the filesystem implementation was tricky, and i couldn’t find a good solution to the problem you described: verification by hash or some other means that the path being executed is a known trusted binary.

The most promising approach I've come across which may accomplish this is using fs-verity or bpf_ima_file_hash. However I haven't looked too much into it since I'm mostly working on other things now and my current approach works well enough. Also I have yet to take into consideration shared libraries and things like LD_PRELOAD rootkits.

> then again you also have to secure the filesystem, since that is where permanent rules are stored.

I've worried about this too, it's a little easier for a server if you minimize what you have on the host, bonus points if it's immutable, and run everything in containers. This is a little harder to do on a desktop without creating too much inconvenience though.

> in reality, it depends on your threat model. i find network monitoring to be tremendously useful both for debugger and for more feeling secure. hopefully also for being more secure.

Yep I agree, and it's also useful for learning about your system and networking, to help make better decisions when it comes to security.

> just looked up your username. picosnitch is cool! email me if you want to discuss further, and keep building cool things!!

How much of this is because they're rolling the cost of retooling and building new factories into it? Once those factories are built and product starts rolling out I'd assume that the amount of money lost would decrease sharply.

Fun thing is that the system colours were originally written in lowercase <https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-CSS2-971104/ui.html#h-18.2>, then they dallied with kebab-case <https://www.w3.org/TR/1998/PR-CSS2-19980324/ui.html#system-c...>, but they finally settled on TitleCase <https://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/ui.html#system-...>.

As for currentColor, it follows SVG’s naming convention instead of CSS’s, because it was invented in SVG <https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG10/painting.html#SpecifyingPaint> and only adopted into CSS proper because people thought, “hey, that’s a useful feature, and we like aligning HTML-CSS and SVG-CSS where possible”. (Not sure if it was case-sensitive or not; element and attribute names are, so <svg> gets a viewBox attribute, and viewbox won’t work, which I’ve seen inline-SVG-unaware HTML minifiers mangle to.)

It has actually comparatively recently been partially renamed to currentcolor. https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/ mostly refers to it as currentcolor, but still has currentColor in a few places. Not sure if these are editing errors or not. My favourite is: “The serialized form of ‘currentColor’ is the string "currentcolor".”
Looks like it's taking a small loss per unit in COGS terms, but the division is taking a large loss in development expenses. Not surprising or really concerning.

There is a general masterlist https://old.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/su4w7k/with_the_e...

There are also some free tools and games worth getting

- Bravely Second Demo (story that's not avaialable in the full release + exclusives you can transfer over)

- Pokémon Sun & Moon - Special Demo Version (Ash-Greninja pokémon that you can only get here and transfer over to the full game)

- Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Special Demo (Glalie pokémon that you can only get here and transfer over to the full game)

- Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter. Pokémon Bank will be free (currently $5/year) BUT the Poké Transporter app can be only downloaded from INSIDE the Bank app which only works if you have a sub... All NEW downloads will be impossible after the date so you better get the Transporter app now (pay the $5 for the remaining days) or else > doesn't bother and just pirate it. But honestly the writing is on the wall for the Pokémon Bank...

- Save Data Transfer Tool (permanently move, not copy, save data files from a physical cartridge to the 3DS

- 3DS F2P digital Pokémon games (Pokémon Picross, Pokémon Rumble World, Pokémon Shuffle)

- Flipnote Studio 3D and Picross Zelda (Nintendo My Rewards games but you can still get them)
The share fluctuates over time as systems evolve and change. The share is not the most relevant piece because shares are tied up in slow-moving ownership structures that may be complex to liquidate if you want spending power.

The real value that matters here is how far individual wealth goes. For example, what is the average square foot dwelling area that an American has access to now versus what was considered reasonable and find in their parental generation or grandparental generation or even further back just 100 years ago?

Answer: People now have much higher standards of a basic standard of living even if the shares or if the currency amounts and ratios may differ. This is the true North Star in assessing whether or not wealth is meaningfully being distributed and allocated.

Diligent and disciplined individuals are able to channel hope and idealistic energy into massive positive material changes in the United States.
I don't know if anyone is arguing that a forced transfer like this is a good thing. But there's a fair discussion at least, like for many things we do, about whether it can--or perhaps must--be used for some "greater good."

I mean, you may not care about that discussion--and that's fine, you do you--but to ignore the circumstances around this situation means that once decided that it's going to happen, and therefore must be "good", we have to start asking other questions like, "Meta has been kinda lame lately, why don't we force them to sell to a someone we like better?" and "Probably Google, too?"
Judging by the slides and graphs in the article, it looks like this is completely expected by Ford. They seem to be predicting an 8% margin by 2026 with a clear path way. It doesn't look like Ford is worried about it being sustainable for them in the long term.
You are probably right that it is not evenly distributed. But this seems entirely on-brand for a state like Missouri. How many libraries have been ruined by these antics already?

According to some cursory searches, Washington State (where I live) has 2,500 libraries for 7.7 million people and Missouri has somewhere between 171 and 400 libraries for 6.1 million people.

At some point the horse dies and the stick is no longer motivational.

Those aren't even orcs and ogres from the same franchise/setting. Orcs "look like" dozens of different things, and ogres have at least as many "canonical" appearances—possibly more, given that orcs were invented by Tolkien about a century ago, and ogres exist in the folklore of many different cultures going back at least a millennium.

I think the comment about DALL-E being unsure what they look like is because the picture in the article has three creatures that don't look much like each other, and also look oddly ambiguous in just what's supposed to be portrayed.
