>>Other problems are more subjective; many have criticized the $2.15-a-day threshold (at 2017 purchasing-power-adjusted prices)—designed to reflect who would be poorest in the most impoverished countries, like Mali or Afghanistan, and not in even slightly richer countries like Angola or Pakistan—for being far too low to provide for sustenance or normal human health outcomes, and thus to measure anything meaningful about real graduation from poverty.

This is mental gymnastics done to dispel evidence that goes against the cynical anti-capitalist ideology that is so in-vogue.

The poverty line in question does, contrary to this claim, "measure [some]thing meaningful about real graduation from poverty".

If the author contends that living at the $2.15-a-day threshold is an abysmal quality of life, then what does he imagine living at below that threshold to be like?

Does he imagine that it's all indistinguishable anguish at those levels, and therefore that living on $2.50 a day is no improvement over living on $1.25 a day? Nothing could be further from the truth. At extreme levels of poverty, a 50% or 100% increase daily purchasing power is often the difference between life and death.
LMFAO why it is so hard to accept the truth?
Oh that was the holy grail. I also never got there… had to settle for the lower levels of Gentoo purity.
> If this is true, then why do we find so many introverts in online forums?

I find writing is more cerebral than verbalizing. I can take an idea, interrogate it before putting it in writing - and then read, edit and re-read it before posting.

Also - have you considered the number of introverts not posting in online forums vs those who do?
That’s probably also what happened with your ‘disappointing’ PhD student.

They probably did know how to code, but they’ve spent the last 5 years working on something quite a bit different from string wrangling in Python. Add in the stress of a (first-time?) interview and a reasonable candidate can look like a total fool…

Apple definitely pushes apple music a lot. I use spotify and when I hit play on my headphones half the time it somehow thinks that I want it to fire up apple music instead of unpausing spotify.

On iPhone if it doesn't auto sync your photos it definitely encourages you to on.. yep, iCloud!

I just don't understand all this hate for microsoft in this particular case. To me this is not really that different from what Apple does, yet I don't see articles roasting apple about it.
I think that's what people do on a normal day, but all of the technical formats and decisions (vhs/dvd/streaming video/etc) have been pioneered by porn.

Dang, so if this person just left the BTC in a cold wallet for 5 years, did no more crimes, and stayed put, he could have gotten away free and clear? Or does #3 essentially mean they can just extend the limit forever if they can come up with a plausible sounding enough reason?
This is really important to me also. ChatGPT is so human-like that I really feel a deep psychological need to say "thank you" to it. I feel awful if I don't. The ironic thing here is that I'm now causing more work by demanding support for my ability to say "thanks" when it's currently not supported. But I say things like, "thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!" Or "thanks, this was really helpful!" or just, "thanks!" and then I feel better about the encounter. If I couldn't say "thanks" and that confused it I'd be sad so I'd appreciate "thanks" and such variants being understood.

Uh, thanks.
I liked that one with Jack Ma too, but it doesn't change anything.
> the increases in food and energy which, for the most part, haven’t gone down

Energy inflation is -6.4% year over year in the last CPI report, as well as being down month over month (both “raw” and with seasonal adjustments).

What on Earth are you talking about? (Yes, Food inflation is still fairly high, energy though…if anything, one of the drivers of continued inflation fears despite the low trend of the last several months is that the current low inflation is substantially dependent on energy inflation, which is generally historically highly-volatile, being negative.)
but why +1? Is this an obscure reference to the N+1 problem that ORMs face?
William Gibson wrote about similar stuff in various stories in the collection “Burning Chrome” and in Neuromancer. IIRC, there was an elite hacker whose mind had been saved in ROM, the Dixie Construct, I think. It was helping with a job. It’s reward if they succeeded? It wanted to be erased. Not really a spoiler, just a detail that I was reminded of by this discussion.
The post in question did not do what you are accusing them of. They made a rhetorical statement about the word "criminal" that they even themselves qualify as "quibbling", and go on to demonstrate the usefulness of the quibble as the context for a relevant point.

On the other hand, you are broadly accusing those who disagree with you as stupid and insane.

I think SF is a mess. I don't have insight into how "bad areas" become that way or how best to systemically address them, but I do feel relatively confident in blaming the laws and/or enforcement for a failure to do what is in the system's power to keep people safe from each other and from themselves (to a reasonable extent - I don't expect precognition or magical rehabilitation capabilities). It makes me angry. However, unlike apparently everybody else, I don't consider myself educated on the topic beyond that. In this instance, I am trying to do my tiny part in defending the conversation from the tidal wave of fallacies that come with politically charged and emotional topics.
Might be useful to have an LLM generate a few versions of the query in order to account for imperfect recall — it seems like something gpt-3.5-turbo and friends would be pretty good at doing.
With cross-core interrupts and user-mode interrupt handlers (as in some new intel cpus), you could even do something without polling (interrupt for submission) where the core user-mode code is running on _never_ context switches (obviously except for scheduling) and you just have a dedicated kernel core or cores off doing kernel things.

So how would GPT fare at writing a simulation for a problem ... that has no source code or even literature for it in the (crawlable) public domain?

Also, as to what the GPT group was able to produce -- sure it was a lot of code, and apparently a quite a bucket of features -- but did it actually produce a usable simulation? Or even a coherent statement of what a "baseball simulation" should do, actually, and how its accuracy is to be measured?

I'm not casting aspersions here - I'd really like to know.

It's 20x more dilutive to print $100 than to sell $105 for $100, sure. I wouldn't describe that as "funding government services" in the common sense, though you could argue that with a fixed dilution target it does counterfactually cause more spending and thus services.

And similarly, somebody stuffing money under their mattress would be removing 20x the amount from circulation as they gain, with 5% deflation. So while one can easily imagine the 5% is financially equivalent to interest, the effect on the circulation isn't.

"Remove money from circulation" seems different than simple funding of services, though. It's not even obvious there should be any difference there, if the money were infinitely subdivisible. I don't think using personal finance equivalents like funding goods and services is sufficient to explain the effect.

An economist has probably written something in excruciating detail, making sure there's no shell games being played with the terms. So it's probably on me for not reading that instead of commenting here.

I listened in to their weekly chat today and it sounded like they'd be happy if they could just ban all political mimickry. I think the AI images of Trump being arrested (which looked like Midjourney to me) were disappointing.

Maybe that just means banning images that are meant to fool people, and obvious satire would be ok, but they might be ok erring on the side of caution.

My one interview question (I have a series of related but only go down them selectively) is “tell me the one thing you’ve done that made you the proudest of what you have achieved or the happiest with what you were doing, don’t worry whether it was the most impactful or important from an outsider’s perspective”. I am trying to give people the chance to show me the best they have, not a competition for me to prove myself I am better somehow. You will be surprised how many interesting discussions and learning opportunities I got out of this question. Everyone who has peered interviewed with me ends up using it in their future interviews.
Yes it does.

Should be noted that the previous governor of the Reserve Bank of India who was before that Chief Economist at the IMF is now going around criticizing the Indian government's nascent attempts to kickstart manufacturing instead of following the services-led growth model that he advocates.

We went through two decades where many in the global intellectual class actively campaigned against industrialization, and with degrowth strategies for managing CO2 emissions being in vogue now, there is a risk that such counterproductive advocacy will continue, just as industrialization becomes increasingly harder for the reasons mentioned in the article.

my solution to this conflict would be formation of a compulsory membership trade group that governs all shipments in and out of the West, with full authority to audit the pallets of computers down to the chip level, the firmware blobs and to expel members for any aggression against other members. Congress would then require that all international trade not governed by the group is an illegal act of treason and a threat to US National Security. this kind of approach won't work if it's not implemented before China can cultivate alternate high population trade partners (like Africa and Russia) enabling them to give us a cold shoulder.

The average person doesn't care about federation or an open protocol or whatever. They probably don't even understand those things and they don't want to understand them.

I really like the example of the non-technical CEO being talked into buying something, for the opposite reason projectazorian intended. There are in many cases hidden business dynamics driving those decisions that make them globally optimal, even though they look like local extrema to Joe Engineer. Mutual backstratching with investors and board members, for example, gets a lot of shit done. The real system is much wider than the one most engineers see, and in that wider system the non-technical CEO may just be the best engineer of all.

Or they may be an idiot. That happens, too.

Sure, let's clown on the western democracies adequately measuring the threat of nuclear warfare.

Russia and China cannot win a conventional war against the West. For the West, it wouldn't be easy, it wouldn't be quick, but it would be a certainty. Maybe it would even take a couple of wars, like Europe in the 20th century. The only way for those two terrible countries to win is if they use nuclear weapons, and use them quickly. Western democracies know this, and act accordingly.
I'm trained as a lawyer. This line of 'challenge' is something I use 3-4 times yearly. Frequently, it is with a person who is hyperventilating about some 'characterization'.

I do actually want children. I think it rather undermines your claim that I was putting words in your mouth when you first put words in mine, and then immediately transition to a justification of your view that relationships are principly about raising children.

What you said was that social pressure for women to get married young was justified because that was when they had the best chance of giving birth to healthy children, and that their "greatest value" was their youth and beauty. "Baby machine" is a fair summary of what you've expressed - you're deemphasizing their agency in making decisions about their lives and emphasizing their beauty and fertility, describing them as if they were an object which suited a purpose.
