I cannot believe supermarkets these days, it is insane the increases in prices, I’ve seen £5 for a tube of normal toothpaste and £6 for a tiny Pizza that is sometimes available for £3. How people on modest salaries survive I don’t know.

Quite often I’m starting to notice dark patterns in pricing where things you normally didn’t worry about will have randomly increased by £2-3 and you get the checkout and you’ve spent £25-30 on next to nothing.

I wonder if inequality increases caused by printing trillions of dollars during COVID are anything to do with this inflation? Could it be that making the rich endless more wealthy and increasing asset prices is bad for society?

How do we fix this? Some people think redistribution of the increases the wealthy have had over COVID back to the poor would be a good move, but is this all inequality?
gouging is an incredibly unhelpful context in a macroeconomic sense. In cases of shorter term scarcity (e.g. toilet paper during early covid), you can have instances of gouging. But over a longer-term period where prices are calibrating to demand/supply dynamics, price increases simply reflect the shifting balance between supply and demand.

Should we be concerned about why there are shifts in demand/supply? Sure.(In the case of food, part of this is driven by the UA war and likely other trends in food productive)?

But it is eminently unhelpful to simply attribute increases to 'gouging' and expect that to be the final say.
But did you? Does it store and re-train on all of that input?
It can be (and almost certainly is) both.

Companies LOVE an excuse to raise prices to where they "think" they should be, and inflation is a great time to do such.

"Fault" is a tricky word here. Anyone going into teaching minors as a profession cannot be doing it for the money, because at no point in recent history have US teachers been adequately paid, so they knew to some extent what they were getting into. But that certainly doesn't mean they're adequately paid or respected or that we shouldn't fix that.

We literally had to enshrine the RIGHT to slavery into law during the creation of the constitution just to get southern state support, and that was before the cotton gin made slavery significantly more profitable. Then we gave those same states extra voting power based on how many human beings they could afford to own. Then the very institution of policing itself in America started as a way to catch runaway slaves, often in OTHER STATES that had OUTLAWED SLAVERY.

But sure, this system that obviously had a huge impact on how the country developed, how power structures were purposely designed, and how freedom even worked, TECHNICALLY wasn't the primary reason for rebelling, maybe.
I'm curious why the values aren't identical to within rounding errors for countries like the Netherlands and Belgium which are nearly the same size, in essentially the same location, and don't have different amounts of welfare like north/south Korea or USA/MX.

Can't be that one has tech or purchasing power that the other doesn't, or that food needs to travel a lot further, and I would also not expect vastly different foreign relations (also because EU, but also because the countries are so similar in beliefs and histories).

And similar for slightly different but still nearby and similar countries like Germany, Luxemburg, and the UK. Anyone know what causes these differences?

The series of fortunate astrophysical events that gave us Ceres
I live in London and am married with 2 kids, working in tech. Personally, I'm not seeing too much difference.

* Energy prices are higher, and this has had a knock-on effect, but I see it more on childcare (e.g. nursery) than food.

* There have been shortages of some foods - specifically there were shortages of tomatoes and peppers for a week or two a month or two ago, but not recently... and there are shortages of eggs, which I understand from my cousins, who are egg farmers, is primarily due to bird flu (most eggs in the UK are from British hens).

* Regarding NHS, we've not needed to use hospitals recently, but access to GPs has been same as usual.

* I've not seen an increase in crime.

* I hear that poverty is rising, but don't have direct experience.

* The Royal Mail is almost certainly dying, but I think it's been on its way out for years.

Like I say, this is just personal experience - I appreciate that I'm quite lucky at having an OK-paying job, so could well be insulated from problems that others face.
Agreed - this is pretty much the perfect use case for list comprehensions, which are one of the best features of Python. Normally "oh but there's a better way to do it in that language" isn't a particularly interesting observation, but here it completely turns the author's point on its head. I can't think of many more elegant ways to convert a list of ints to floats, in any language, than `[float(i) for i in integerlist]`.

The pound isn't particularly weak against the Euro. The shortages are because supermarkets won't pay for spot-prices, they'd rather just have little to no stock in the short-term.
If I understand this correctly as I mostly read this just today, then Cook reductions - which is the name for polynomial Turing reductions - are the more general class whereas Karp reductions - which are polynomial many-one reductions - are a more restricted class which - to a first approximation - only allows one oracle query and must return the result unmodified.

So if I am concerned with what can be done in polynomial time, then why would I limit myself to Karp reductions? If I want to finely separate classes of problems, then Karp reductions are probably better suited as the reduction builds a much more direct link between the two problems.

That is (nearly) correct under Cook reductions but not Karp reductions.

It is however still not clear to me why this is not true under Karp reductions, because there are not necessarily Karp reductions for some problems that have Cook reductions? If so, are there two different NP-complete classes, one per reduction?

Those are nominal profits, everyone is trying to take "an extra cut" to stay ahead of inflation. Grocery has razor thin margins to begin with and the usual direction of prices is downward. Inflation will absolutely put a grocer out of business if they can't stay ahead of rising prices.

I guarantee you that people trying to raise a family on a budget pay very close attention to the cost of individual items.

People might stop caring quite as much about individual pricing once they have enough money not to have to care.

People who have to worry "can I afford all of this once I get to the till" are very aware of how much everything costs, and they are more common than people who don't have to worry.

Yet another sector where investment is low and prices are high.

Over winter tomatoes were in short supply, not because we couldn't grow them, but because the methods of heating greenhouses were too expensive. CO2 heaters use gas in largely uninsulated greenhouses. A bit of creativity (solar thermal with storage supplying radiators) or just modernity (air source heat pumps) would have solved this problem.

Alas, there is little guidance and support. The economic case for fossil fuels continues to weaken and the government does absolutely nothing to support a transition to cleaner sources of fuel which provide shelter from the volatility of energy markets. So we pay instead.

What absolute rot.

Free market economics means that if absurd profits are being had, then new people coming to the game will offer slightly cheaper prices.

A price were willing occur until surviving companies are making minimal amount of profits.

Related is if someone figures out how to produce the same amount for less effort/cost.

If someone is making absurd profits for long periods, then usually some major factor such as government regulations is preventing new players from entering the market.

It's perplexing how some are quick to place all blame on "greedy price gouging capitalists" while you have a massive elephant in the room.

As a society, we pride ourselves on being logical yet we ignore the predictable consequences of injecting trillions into the economy amidst heavily damaged supply chains?

I'm not even referring to the downstream consequences such as the extreme fragility leading to blow ups like SVB. Just consider what might happen when you have trillions in new money competing for fewer goods.

Sure but then you don’t need wealth redistribution, because everything is dirt cheap.

The correct mental model isn’t “communism” or “wealth distribution”, but instead “salt”.

Countries used to go to war because of salt. But now technology has eroded its value so much, restaurants are literally giving it away.
What I meant by that is that any police department should be able to handle one officer that falls out of line. One person that has an impedance mismatch with the general culture of an organization should never be an issue. We all know that from our work places: one highly motivated guy won't change the lazy majority, one lazy guy won't change the highly motivated majority etc. If you have one such person in your organisation the rest of the organsation will either work around it, or try to contain/get rid of that person. This self-correction works only up to a certain fraction however.

Where that cutoff percentage is, depends on the single organisation and the individuals within it. But I believe that in this case it is a combination of police culture ("we always did it that way, we need to protect our own") and systemic incentives ("if we hide bad behaviour we look better than if we expose it") are the key to understanding this.
It kind of doesn't matter. Llama is great because it lets everyone experiment, optimize and learn with LLMs locally. Once Stability releases their model everyone will just drop llama and quickly apply all their new tools and learnings to that model.

I think it started before that, with GPT-3.

On the other hand it's way easier to get it to be mean to you (it may even do that on it's own) or get it to talk about illegal things

You can set WINEPREFIX to use a non-default prefix path (other than `~/.wine`).

Note that the prefix doesn't contain everything that wine spills all over your home.
It adds (XDG `.desktop`) launchers & menu/desktop shortcuts, file type associations, icons, etc. to the usual locations.
I know you are sharing your experience, others are as well. Let's not dismiss other's experience just because it doesn't match our own, the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle. Especially when so many people are clamoring saying that they had pain using K8s.

The initial deployment for EKS requires multiple plugins to get to something that is "functional" for most production workloads. K8s fails in spectacular ways (even using Argo, worse using Argo TBH) that require manual intervention. Local disk support for certain types of workloads is severely depressing. Helm is terrible (templating Yaml... 'nuff said). Security groups, IAM roles, and other cloud provider functions require deep knowledge of K8s and the cloud provider. Autoscaling using Karpenter is difficult to debug. Karpenter doesn't gracefully handle spot instance cost.

I could go on, but these are the things you will experience in the first couple days of attempting to use k8s. Overall, if you have deep knowledge of K8s, go for it, but It is not the end-all solution to Infra/container orchestration in my mind.

I fought with a workload for over a day with our K8s experts, it took me an hour to deploy it to an EC2 ASG for a temporary release while moving it back to K8s later. K8s IS difficult, and saying it's not has a lot of people questioning the space.

The way I see it is it starts off easy, and quickly ramps up to extremely complex. This should not be the case.

I worked at a company that had their own deployment infra stack and it was 1000x better than K8s. This is going to be the next step in the K8s space I believe and it may use K8s underneath the covers, but the level of abstraction for K8s is all wrong IMO and it is trying to do too much.

_Probably_, but German food inflation is running about 22%, and the UK is pretty comparable with most of Europe, so Brexit is probably a minor effect at best.
It's something like a little under half the cost or so, last I checked. Not a terrible option if you're happy with the screen/keyboard/etc. bits you'd be keeping. And the one you take out can be repurposed into a mini-PC of its own, or sold.

As a desktop builder myself, I like the flexibility to upgrade (or easily replace for broken components) within the socket family (AMD in particular had a pretty wide run of compatibility recently with AM4), and even when doing a more "total" replacement down to the motherboard I could keep a good case, power supply, GPU, peripherals, etc. Just the fact that I have similar decisions open to me is interesting in the laptop space. The direction of the laptop market has otherwise been away from allowing even RAM or SSD upgrades, or making them tedious and onerous even if possible.
You’re spot on calling uk politics a separate level of dysfunctional. It feels like we’re stuck with a shower of gobshites for a while! Exporting immigrants to Africa is a particularly shambolic/shameful recent effort. And don’t mention ‘the Brexit’ - I’m not saying it’s the only reason but it’s certainly a huge pain point on many fronts.
I think UK politics is at a rock bottom at present but hopefully it’ll spur enough of us on to hold our representatives to a a higher standard…
Given that most people are fat, reducing food purchasing by 20% is actually pretty realistic if needed.

Mine wasn't and then I say three months I don't kid or jest.

> No problem to put /boot on a raid1 on a small partition across all drives

This is exactly the problem. If the drive isn't totally dead (like it doesn't even respond to IDENT) then there is a chance what the BIOS/UEFI would try to boot from it and even succeed in that (ie would load the MBR/boot app) and then there is no way to alter the boot process at this point. HW RAID card provides a single boot point and handle the failing drives by itself, never exposing those shenanigans to the upper level.

Like sure, you are happy with your setup, you never had a bad experience with it, you always had OOB management and remote hands - but it doesn't means what it a silver bullet working 100% of times for everyone.

Yes, I've seen systems with SW/fake RAID failed to boot because the boot process failed after selecting a half-dead drive as a boot device, with my own eyes. Thankfully I was geographically close to them, not 5000km away.

Yes, I serviced and prepared systems for the 5000km away divisions and they are really serviced only a couple of months in a year, all other time you need an extremely urgent reasons why do you need to a rent a heavy 'copter to go there.

I didn't see anything about linux in that, although I'd guess that the GPL is ensuring that the right to copy is passed on to everyone.

In terms of piracy, Windows is very popular, so I'd expect something more fundamental than just a religion of copying. To my mind, sharing is more important than copying - I can make multiple copies of software, but it doesn't mean anything until it's passed on to someone else.
Freedom of religion doesn't mean "freedom to take any random thing you like and claim that it's a religion", though.
You're comparing different software rather than different CPUs.
In terms of PCA, PCA is also quite expensive computationally. Additionally, you'd probably have to do SVD instead.

Since the weights are derived from gradient descent, yeah we don't really know what the distributions would be.

A random projection empirically works quite well for very high dimensions, and is of course very cheap computationally.
