Inflation, as a rate of change, is dynamic. The Fed aims for it to be about 2%, but 7% is much too high so they are ramping up rates to put a stop to that. Prices rarely go back down (consistent falling prices would be deflation, which tends to be economically disastrous as it rewards doing nothing) but the rate can fall which is what he's referring to.
haha, the person arguing that laws which explicitly don't mention sexualised behaviour and explicitly do call out such horrors as "sings, lip syncs and dances" whilst being "a performer which exhibits a gender identity that is different than the performer's gender assigned at birth" is really all about sexualization and pornography whose legal status is unchanged is accusing me of bullshitting. Funny how they're all so badly written that Mrs Doubtfire would have to avoid singing, but a red blooded alpha male can tell all the smutty jokes to an audience of minors he wants! What next? It's "beside the point" that black people were targeted by Jim Crow laws because it was absolutely about efficient use of bus space?

There's no moral panic here, actually it's entirely normal to make it a criminal offence to have Anne Frank's diary in a classroom if a parent complains!
I definitely agree on the vagueness. You have to understand that the 100 is caused by emerging phenomenon, not a population limit or government restrictions - it's really not obvious. You also have to understand that for some reason you actually have to enqueue before the raspberries are distributed (also not obvious).

That said, it doesn't fundamentally help GPT-4. It's too complex for it to get.

PROMPT:

In a country with thousands of people where everyone has identical preferences, the government sells raspberries at a controlled price. To obtain the raspberries, people must line up before the raspberries are sold and the market will process people's orders one at a time. Once the market opens up, additional people are not allowed to enqueue.

Currently, 100 people wait in line every day to buy raspberries.

The government additionally decides to hand out free coffee to a raspberry purchaser (after the raspberries are bought). The coffee costs the government $1 per cup, but the people in line value that coffee at only 75 cents per cup. What is the social cost of providing the coffee?

ANSWER:
To calculate the social cost of providing the coffee, we need to consider the value of the coffee to the people and the cost of providing the coffee to the government.

There are 100 people in line who receive free coffee after purchasing raspberries. The cost of providing the coffee to the government is $1 per cup, totaling $100 for all 100 people ($1 * 100).

The people in line, however, value the coffee at only 75 cents per cup. So, the total value of the coffee for the 100 people in line is $75 (0.75 * 100).

The social cost of providing the coffee can be found by subtracting the total value of the coffee to the people from the cost of providing the coffee to the government:

Social cost = Cost to government - Value to people
Social cost = $100 - $75
Social cost = $25

Therefore, the social cost of providing the coffee is $25.

I tried pushing GPT-4 a bit:

PROMPT: "Why are you assuming the line stays the same size?"

ANSWER:
You're right, I made an incorrect assumption that the line would stay the same size. With the introduction of free coffee, it's possible that more people would be attracted to join the line to buy raspberries and receive the free coffee.

Let's analyze the potential change in the line size.

The value of the free coffee to the people is 75 cents per cup. Assuming people are rational and will join the queue if the value of the free coffee is higher than the cost of waiting in line, we can expect the line to grow until the marginal person values waiting in line at exactly 75 cents.

The social cost of providing the coffee can then be calculated by considering the additional waiting time for the people in line and the cost of providing the coffee to the government.

Unfortunately, without more information about how many new people would join the line and the cost of waiting in line, it is not possible to accurately calculate the social cost of providing the coffee.

Hardly a "0" answer with the hint and in fact GPT-4 comes close, but it isn't able to make the connection to what the equilibrium point must be.
I would have killed to have ChatGPT growing up. It's amazing to have a patient teacher answer any question you can think of. GPT-4 is already far better than the answers you'll get on Quora or Reddit, and it's instant. So it's wrong sometimes. My teachers and parents were wrong plenty of times, too.

It gets increasingly harder as we get old, at least for me. Even doing activities, trying online dating, it's just difficult. I suppose when we're 40+, we haven't adjusted our standards yet, and libido is decreasing too. I reached the point where I almost renounced trying to meet someone.
> Training an LLM on your e-mails and then feeding it questions is just a lower accuracy, more abstracted version of the above, but it's the same concept.

Less accurate, more abstracted, but more automatable. This might be seen as a reasonable trade-off.

It might also be useful as a new form of proactive head-hunting: collect data on people to make models to interrogate and sell access to those models. Companies looking for a specific type of person can then use the models to screen for viable candidates that are then passed onto humans in the recruitment process. Feels creepy stalky to me, but recruiters are rarely above being creepy/stalky any more than advertisers are.

I assume people involved in this sort of activity would convert to Monero first (can be done without KYC in a 100 different places). Then they would go to localmonero or a site like it and select cash in the mail. They would round to the nearest XMR at a time when transacting on localmonero so that even if the exchangers they used were compromised the government wouldn't be able to link them to the initial BTC->XMR swap based on transaction amounts.
its an absolutely asinine comment, to go with an asinine circumstance.

Nothing is absolute... but for example, in my country (former socialist one), things like affirmative action would be considered very racist, while some countries (mostly USA) consider affirmative action anti-racist. If I argue with an american about this, which one of us is racist, and who decides that when it comes to censorship?

Your reasoning sounds a little over-binary; both things can be simultaneously true:

1: Attractive people will find dating and securing a relationship easier than unattractive people

2: Physically unattractive people can still be very successful in dating and securing relationships, because there are many other impactful factors besides physical looks

So you can say without lying or deception "it's surprising that [incredibly good looking person] is perpetually single, it should be easy to leverage their looks into a relationship" and also "don't give up just because you're ugly, there are far more important factors to finding a relationship than just your looks".
For close to a decade now, people have been insisting that Facebook is in trouble because young folks don't like it. I've always rejected that idea because usage kept growing regardless, young users or not.

Something's different now though, something is in the air. I genuinely believe we've achieved peak social media already, and it's downhill from here.

Usage is close to maximized. The amount of distractions one can tolerate in the form of ads has breached tolerance levels.

There's the repetitiveness. Social media is now > 15 years old. Reading content on a daily basis even if you find said content mildly enjoyable is getting very "meh".

Influencers, activists, scammers, spammers have developed a wide array of tactics that piggy-back on outrage algorithms that make feeds upsetting instead of pleasant.

I think an increasing amount of people are realizing that social media sucks. You can do without it or do with less of it, and this only improves your life. I don't expect a super steep decline, rather a lengthy slow one. For sure not any meaningful growth, other than the occasional sideways switch.

That definitely feels like an existential problem for Facebook.
Not in my opinion. If you can do it and don't bother anyone and can keep your shit together, power to you.
I am not sure about this particular puzzle but I have noticed that I can learn a lot from observing how to approach such a problem. Even some senior people seem to have no ability to think about solutions. Other people seem to only be able to look up things on Google. I like people who at least try to attack the problem and think it through. I don't care so much if they succeed but I am happy if they are able and willing to think about something they haven't done before. From my experience this bodes well for working with them and them being able to adapt to new things.

You can use all the IDEs and tools and libraries you want, at the end of the day you still need to know how to read and write code. If you can't pound out a FizzBuzz-level without help, no amount of tooling, IDEs, or libraries is going to make you capable of developing software.

Period. If someone tells me they can develop software in a language, and they can't write ~10 lines of code, that tells me they lied. It's like when getting lifeguard certified they require you to dive down to the bottom and grab a brick.

Zooming basically changes the dimensions of the viewport as JS/CSS see it. Reapplying the zoom level would involve running the same CSS media queries and/or JS so that the website looks good at those dimensions.

It's not just an "optical" zoom.

But more directly, zooming can put you in very nonstandard width x height dimensions. Carrying those dims across different pages makes for an easy fingerprint which is probably why it's reset.

Thanks for the feedback. Any managed Postgres-compatible database which offers autoscaling works with FerretDB. You don't have to manage the Postgres side if it is already managed [1].

One example would be Yugabyte which is not yet officially supported, but was tested by Yugabyte with FerretDB. Same goes for CockroachDB, which was also tested to some extent. Neon would work, too.

On the other hand, FerretDB may not be a solution for all possible use cases out there, but no database is.

Weirdly the low barrier batched sys calls & ebpf user-programmable-kernel sort of feel like a comeback-ish story for un-monolothic kernels/OSes.

After a decade+ of it feeling like Linus/Tannenbaum debate was a de jure settled debate. The debate being anchored to either/or certainly didn't help, confined the dimensionality of what we might consider, eliminated vaster exploration of the possible. But the idea that it's all in the kernel seems improbably from the modern outlook (with some of the GPL IP copy-left awesomeness as notable sacrifice, which has yet to really manifest, but IMO hugely looms).

Again and again I keep thinking we mistake popularity & rapid adoption for success. There's so many brilliant wonderful possibilities. People & attitudes coallesce to the negative enormously fastyl, with much more emotion than belief spreads. Finding ways to give long time for tech to slowly grow & quietly build & thrive is a huge huge challenge. Uring is definitely a nice example of a small conceptual extension of what is that can snowball & grow & metastatize, until it far outshines everything we did before.

Now if only Deno, Node & others would start getting more of this shipped! That said, slow & right is what I'm defending here, soooo, OK.
If this is true why NYT published the following:

“Public Broadcasters Fear ‘Collapse’ if U.S. Drops Support,” announced a New York Times headline in March of 2017. Michael Grynbaum and Ben Sisario reported for the Times:

Public radio and television broadcasters are girding for battle after the Trump administration proposed a drastic cutback that they have long dreaded: the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The potential elimination of about $445 million in annual funding, which helps local TV and radio stations subscribe to NPR and Public Broadcasting Service programming, could be devastating for affiliates in smaller markets that already operate on a shoestring budget.

At the risk of everyone wanting my head on a pike:

A. We don't really know what introversion and extroversion are.

B. The higher the IQ, the more likely they are to qualify for the label "introvert."

So in at least some cases, it's possible smart people just give up on trying to connect socially because they get a lot of negative feedback from other people and it's mostly downside for them, so they stop bothering.

Most people marry people within about 10 IQ points of themselves. If you are "introverted" because talking at most people is an extremely negative experience due to you having a high IQ, it's not unrealistic to shoot for finding a means to connect with someone of similar IQ in hopes of establishing a relationship. If your IQ is high enough, odds are good they will also be labeled "an introvert" by the world.

Please note this is not saying "introversion indicates high IQ." That's not what it says at all.

Now we have to worry about our governments running on policies that were created in the same sloppy fashion, because it’s cheaper than people.
