> How much do you use Google Search throughout your day? Do you consider that exhausting as well?

Oh my god, yes. The way it makes everything possible means you never get to feel like you actually know WTF you're doing, because the edge is always expanding. Bring back the days of having a small shelf of 5-10 books that contained 99% of what you needed to know to do your programming/sysadmin/whatever job.

Yes, it's absolutely exhausting. If you've never experienced or even seen what came before, it may not seem so just because you don't have a point of comparison.
Yeah the parent's assertion seems incorrect. It's totally possible to hide such messages on the internet.
This isn't correct. They use global numbers not UK numbers.

> In relation to cloud gaming services, we found that Microsoft already has a
strong position. It owns a popular gaming platform (Xbox and a large portfolio
of games), the leading PC operating system (Windows), and a global cloud
computing infrastructure (Azure and Xbox Cloud Gaming), giving it important
advantages in running a cloud gaming service. With an estimated 60-70%
market share in global cloud gaming services, it is already much stronger than
its rivals.
Vandals just go the path of least resistance and look for the latest 'trending' video to learn from others. I see a few issues:
1. A social media that would not takedown a video that shows illegal behavior.
2. A car company that kept a problem without recalls or revision
3. Youth that are largely un-parented and unsupervised
4. Insane amount of protection for underage criminal behavior
5. A youth culture that celebrates wild behavior
6. Lack of law enforcement (as officers are preoccupied with more major incidents)

The problem you describe is far more pervasive than that: https://magarshak.com/blog/?p=362
Yes, I know that, but why should I as an individual risk my deposits in a bank? Before digital payments took off it was entirely feasible for a regular person to be what we’d now call unbanked or underbanked. I’m pretty sure my grandfather was greatly underbanked well into the 90s and aughts. I’m sure many banked because they didn’t want to keep track of all their cash physically hanging around, but banks had to actually compete against “stuff it under your mattress” by passing on rates and other ways of providing value.

The advent of online banking and digital payments added enough value that there was really no reason to continue to be unbanked or underbanked for most people. But IMO banks have begun to take depositors for granted by offering poor interest rates and exposing us to more risk than necessary (certainly more than justifies checking or savings rates). With the recent spat of bank failures roughly coinciding with crypto, which also provides online banking and digital payment functionality, the Fed/banks need to recognize that there is a real risk that depositors will opt back out of traditional banking.

I think a shift off the dollar and onto crypto would be much worse (personally, but also for banking) than the Fed offering a path to digital mattress stuffing of the USD, because at least with that they can still influence monetary policy and keep people on the dollar. I also suspect, but have no data, that our shift towards structurally low rates and high asset prices over the last half century was partially influenced by banks’ relative share of the monetary supply increasing so much that too many deposits are stuck chasing yield/credit is too accessible for activities perceived as low risk: so if some deposits shift onto a Fed narrow bank, banks will at least find it easier to loan and offer interest at higher rates. But even beside that, I as an individual should not be obligated to deposit my money into a banking system that gives me poor risk:reward - and when better options exist, I might not. So the banks and Fed better figure out something better than crypto or a fireproof safe.
Why flying is so expensive and likely to remain that way
The chart you linked to has downward movement as well. So it's not all 'more money printing'.

Btw, the expansion of the monetary base has a lot more to do with the Fed paying interest on excess reserves than on rescuing a few banks here and there.

Getting regular folk, myself included, off of these popular platforms - especially Gmail isn't economical for most people. Just changing your email address and migrating to another provider isn't an easy sell.

This seems great until you dig into some of the recommendations. A tool to save webpages is not an alternative to a news reader. A dynamic DNS service is a not an alternative to Google public DNS, etc, etc

I can't see the this making any kind of dent on the average person with these kinds of recommendations.

I agree with you in regards to the dangers of snake oil and snake oil salesmen and the general inability for the vast majority of people to properly vet medical information.

That being said, I would say it’s unfortunately by necessity that people start trying to play doctor. I live in Canada, our healthcare system is currently in shambles such that it’s impossible to get timely care. Even the care we do get is time-limited and only focused on saving your life (which is great, but ignores the value of improving quality of life too). Also most of our medical interventions are so far behind the state of the art due to a Byzantine regulatory process that anyone actually trying to help a loved one with a health issue is forced to take matters into their own hands otherwise we fall through the cracks. The medical system is simply failing way too many people in Canada that it’s inevitable people Will take their health and the health of their loved ones into their own hands by necessity.
You know what they say about the end justifying the means.

Reminds me of this post I saw on CompSci Reddit once. A person claimed to have made an O(n) algorithm for finding loops in a graph (or something like that), and he posted the source code. The comments were all in the line "big if true, but I'm going to have to see a peer reviewed paper" to which he answered along the lines of: "I'm paid to write code, I'm not paid to write papers. I made this algorithm solve a problem at work, take it or leave it".

The thread died without anyone actually checking if his algorithm worked or not.

Who knows...
Oh I don’t mind it not being pre packaged… if anything the death of blogs and the rise of “a video on YouTube will be the only form ever used to present information” has forced me to get used to watching or listening to entire chunks of stuff to get the information out of a primary source…

My biggest complaint was that SpaceX are posting primary source material into a twitter space that other people have to archive. For instance the Reddit post earlier linked to a YouTube video posted by the account. “Elon Musk History” which feels pretty ephemeral given it has only been online since a bit over a week ago. It bugs me that official primary source information of relevance to the public, to the space industry, and to space nerds in general, has to be captured and archived away by passionate ransoms on the internet… people should not need to be doing OSINT style scrape and archive tactics on SpaceX public statements by the CEO regarding the first integrated test flight a rocket that will be part of the Artemis moon landing run by NASA … the tinfoil hat urge to label this as Elon forcing people to engage with Twitter features to make them more relevant … but it’s more likely he wanted to be able to do this briefing from his phone regardless of where he was at the time and decided to just do it in twitter “because that’s good enough” (the unsaid subconscious decision making being that obviously it’s good enough because he bought the whole company)

If this was better managed, it would be archived and published by Elon or SpaceX to some other channel, but it’s not, it’s left on the floor of the internet as trash headed for the delete pile unless someone jumps in to make a copy for historical record.

No. There is a big difference to "they already know" and/or they "could trivially find out". Even if the latter may be true, the former is not. The government does not have direct access to personal bank account ledgers.
It's also pretty notable how quickly the notion of keeping the AI in the box has become irrelevant. It's going to be people's indispensable information source, advisor, psychologist, friend and lover and it's proliferating at a breakneck pace. Not only won't most people not want to keep it in the box, it is already out and they would kill you for trying to take away their new smart friend.
I think that’s a great idea but speaking from personal experience with family and friends, the biggest obstacle seems to be effort. Especially for sufficiently well-off individuals, it isn’t financial motivation but rather having clear, easily accessible, and widely known alternatives that require minimum extra effort or travel that would probably do more to alleviate situation.
Unions are a must, corporations have HR and policies to get their way, employees need to unionize to get some power back.
If you're talking about OpenAI, then nope, it's not accessible to everyone. OpenAI is blocking poorer countries from using its services.
Not only that, but disposal is painful. In my city i have to drive to the disposal centre 30-45 mins away on a specific day of the month.

> HQLA assets in LCR calculation are priced at "fair value" (see your footnote 1 for example) which is the present market value

Held-to-maturity securities' fair value, under GAAP, is amortized cost [1][2]. From an accounting perspective, this sort of makes sense. From a liquidity perspective, it does not.

This is specific to the American implementation of Basel III because it incorporates GAAP.

Have to disagree with your first two points for the US.

On 1, soccer became popular because there were organizations providing soccer for a fee. There may have been pockets of the US where kids would just go outside and play. That's not how it grew to be so big across the country though. These days it's not unusual to pay thousands of dollars a year to get on a club team - and that's where the fun is. I've never seen anything like that for chess.

On 2, player age and physical development matter a ton. One of the things I warn parents about when getting into soccer is to find a coach that focuses on player development rather than winning. Many teams make playing time and position decisions based only on which players are the biggest and fastest. (Those parents are getting ripped off, since the big and fast players don't develop skills, and the others don't learn the game.) This is quite different from chess, since as you note, size, sex, height, and age do not matter.
So stick another one up.

Nothing lost, surely?

Not quite, not eating pork was codified into those religions because breeding pigs in hot dry climate is a very bad idea. Same in India, a cow is far more valuable as a farming tool, so it was codified into religion. The Swan thing is pure aristocratic elitism. The guests invited to certain functions reported being served swan, and said it tasted like turkey.

And besides, British royals are Germans not Brits.
Well there’s residual value in metals as you can build stuff with it. Agree that the vast majority of the value of precious metals is contextual, but I guess you can appeal to human’s love of shiny stuff plus history, beyond just community context.
This is incredibly stupid. Letting just Lehman fail sparked 08 and bankrupted millions of middle class Americans, and banks are always sold after bank failures.

The Fed had an extremely similar approach to what you propose in the late 20s, it was called liquidationism. It sparked the Great Depression, which was a terrible tragedy that destroyed millions of people’s lives, and through global aftereffects is arguably one of the main causes of Hitler’s rise to power.

Destroying the economy is very bad
Ctrl-D exits the shell IFF it is entered at an otherwise empty command prompt.

When editing a command line, it deletes the character under eh cursor.

When reading from stdin, e.g., if one executes cat with no arguments and not in a pipeline, it acts as EOF and ends the read. Interestingly enough, if entered after text without a newline, it ends that segment of input; entering it again ends the read.

Ctrl-u and Ctrl-k delete from the cursor to the start and end of line respectfully; ctrl-w deletes from the cursor to the start of the current word.

Alt-b and Alt-f move backward and forward one word. Very handy.

I grabbed some stats off google: solar nuclear and battery costs

Companies that are planning new nuclear units are currently indicating that the total costs (including escalation and financing costs) will be in the range of $5,500/kW to $8,100/kW or between $6 billion and $9 billion for each 1,100 MW plant.

Installing a solar farms will cost about $0.80 to $1.36 per watt. Solar farm costs can be estimated by energy output (megawatts) or size (acres). One megawatt is the power equal to 1 million watts, and one megawatt will power about 164 homes. ~$800-$1360/kw

Battery:
$152/kWh
Now, BNEF expects the volume-weighted average battery pack price to rise to $152/kWh in 2023
I mean, you don't have to figure it out. You can just punch in start and end of your journey into one of several apps that work nationwide, and pay whatever it says.

Of course, many people don't have any of the apps, particularly people who rarely use public transport, which are also the people most easily confuse by the complicated fee structure.

Unfortunately, the new monthly ticket does little to help them. 49 EUR isn't a value proposition for them, and so they are still stuck with the awful status quo.
I hate to admit it. But that was a decently argued point that CMA made.

I was thinking about how silly it was that they were worried about a “monopoly” on a market that doesn’t even really exist and most of my opinion was formed by both my usual prejudice about ignorant government officials and listening to Ben Thompson’s take (Stratechery).

I didn’t even think about the Windows or Azure angle since I don’t use either.

I would not recommend using expo. It's a huge stack of dependencies that will create conflicts when upgrading or using other packages (already problematic with pure RN). Maybe it's better now, but when I started with RN 4 years ago the Android issues were constant. Just use RN ejected, and you can still bring in expo packages as needed.
Still, it should be said the vast majority of the value of gold is contextual. Just like aluminum before we perfected ability to make it cheaply.

Cutting budgets for education might even be the right thing to do.

Basically yes. All things being equal it's better that banks don't collapse but this far regulators have done an excellent job containing the fallout and preventing contagion.

In 2007 the failures were amongst investment banks and there was no statutory authority to do an orderly liquidation (there is now) and the Bush admin was seemingly disinterested in responding. Thus a panic ensued.

This time we're applying well-tested and reliable procedures and they're working as expected.
Same. I find gimp even lagging behind photoshop which itself can be a clog. A shame since Gimp is a fantastic app.

Krita is a complete replacement at this point. And, its features caters to drawing/painting to a greater degree than photoshop, by far. The brush engine is phenomenonal and just for this has become my favorite drawing tool.

It is difficult to figure out what to do with old Li-ion batteries, some local stores accept certain types for recycling, but I have a few larger batteries from ebikes and power tools that they won't take, and I can't figure out what to do with them.

For now they just sit in the garage.

I would like to see some kind of system where the cost of recycling is paid up-front when the battery is purchased, and there are easy to find locations to drop them off, or to mail them for smaller ones.

The Crown Estate is one of the largest landowners in Britain, with peers including the Church and the Ministry of Defence, but does not own the majority of the UK. Curiously, a lot of the coastal seabed in UK territorial waters is part of the Crown Estate, which has thus profited massively from offshore wind farms.

The Crown 'owns' the Crown estate as a corporation sole [0], a legal entity occupied by a single person, the Monarch. When the Queen died, the Crown persisted as a legal entity but the Monarch changed. King Charles owns several properties that are not part of the Crown estate, e.g. Balmoral and Sandringham. These were purchased by members of the Royal family from other members of the aristocracy in the 19th Century.

If you believe that people who aren't paid half a million to come up with new ways to display ads have meaningful freedom of choice of employment, rather than different flavours of shit sandwiches, I politely suggest you reassess. And if you think consumers, unorganized, have enough information and meaningful alternatives to choose products, and willpower and knowledge to beat professional marketers and a relentlessly hammered in culture, well, I politely suggest you reassess that too. I agree with you in principle - but there is nowhere near power parity between employers and employees, or corporations and consumers, so that's moot until there is.

The question about if an AI is "alive" seems entirely irrelevent outside of a philosophy class.
What will be relevant is when people begins to consider it alive.
The most recent example of that is when people fell in love with their AI girlfriend and then were heartbroken when she "died" after an update: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-replika-cha...

It will be hard to "kill" AI the moment people consider their chat bot animated sillicon human-like partner as individuals with proper feelings, emotions, guenine interactions and reciprocity.
Because then they will defend and fight to protect who they consider part of their close social circle. If there are enough of these people then they will actually have political power and do not thing there are no politicians out there who won't exploit this.
The UK's power in this situation is entirely contingent on microsoft continuing to do business there.
