It's not really built into the language though? It's just a function on the global Deno object, similar to how there's a global 'document' object in browsers (and that's not 'built into the language' either).
Yup, that is basically inherent. In order to hedge their interest rate exposure they'd have to find some counterparty that can afford to do it - there is no magic hedging or insurance fairy - which with previous interest rates would probably wipe out all their interest income and expose them to counterparty risk at the same time if they could even find anyone.
They're learning how to deploy in forward bases and operate in a watching role. There's been SIGINT and policing roles and no weapons firing.

I don't doubt it's useful. The defence of NATO is by existing more than by being used in anger perhaps.
> March 2023 1 month inflation is 0.1%

Only due to shifts in food and energy prices, which are both highly volatile. Exclude those, and there is still 0.3% month-on-month inflation, or 3.6 annualized, which is still almost 2x the target.
I don't know why JSON over HTTP gets so little love on here. It's probably the most popular option. If you don't want a resource-oriented API you don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater and go all the way to gRPC.
This seems to state All but local currencies are prohibited. I have first hand knowledge from 2014-2016, 2020 during covid, as well as after the war, that USD and EUR is commonly used by both people and businesses. And Banks. In fact, when I wire cash every couple of months to my friends stuck there, they prefer it in dollars.

So this statement is extremely confusing because it completely contradicts reality and official bank operation there.

BTW, after the 2014 war started, I visited both Kiev and Moscow quite a bit. RUB folded 3x almost overnight after Obama's sanctions. Most well-off people and the businesses they visit, simply switched to dollars. This did not happen in Ukraine because no one had dollars. What happened instead is the many Ukranians who took out bank loans in dollars, had their lives destroyed.
I wonder how much of this startup playbook is just a way to rationalize luck.

Companies that succeed may not necessarily do all of these things.
Companies that fail may do all of these things.

A person who'd be inclined to click this link is likely new to startups and wants some kind of structure, knowing how unpredictable things can be. In some sense, this is exactly "what people want" ala YC advice.

As long as they say a few milquetoast things that other established entrepreneurs cannot argue with, they have essentially used the (possibly random) initial successes they've had to build credibility in the eyes of potential founders.

There is no doubt that a large part of YC's successes are due to its network effects but you first need to get lucky in order to build it. That's the part they seem to leave out.
Depending on your definition of "significant" one can argue about the emission part, but the interesting part of the cited claim surly is the landuse portion.

From what I heard, a lot of vinyls are just recorded from CD. No source, just a YouTube video a long time ago so take it with a grain of salt.

> Because all digital distortion is major distortion and avoided at all costs.

Not a signal processing expert but from what I read, all the quantization noise is pushed into the >20kHz frequencies where it can't be heard via dithering/noise shaping.

Loudness/compression is a deliberate choice and has nothing to do with noise.
This is a very clever advice. Thanks you. Have to try this out.

Nuclear plants can run at nearly 100% capacity all the time, while burning more coal gets more expensive. You can't simply compare raw theoretical power. Else Germany would already be 100% on renewables.

You're looking for excuses. Nuclear power killed precisely zero person in Europe in the past 20 years (and exactly one in the whole world). Coal power killed at the very least hundreds of thousands in the same time. Period. Beat around the bush as much as you want, there is no possible escape from the facts.
For people that might be confused, setting a custom global allocator is possible in stable, but the Allocator trait isn't yet, so specifying the allocator for a specific instance of a Vec isn't possible in stable.

Thank you. I haven't tried this either. This sounds very doable. Can try this first in emulator.
More closely related to gRPC, Protobufs over HTTP is great too. You can then take advantage of cache-control, last-modified, etc headers in browsers and on CDNs instead of having to reimplement them. My current favorite way to make APIs is using this, and allowing user to request json as well, using a query parameter or header. This is easy to do with protojson conversion
Strictly, inflation is too much money chasing too few goods/services. Hence money printing (with low interest rates facilitating credit expansion, and QE activities) causes inflation, and the reverse will reduce it.

True that the rich will tend to save money thrown at them, but they also tend to sink it into assets (like property) hence the 'everything bubble'. As you point out, wealth taxes won't move the needle on the price of bread, but may help reduce the costs of housing.

That was a very interesting article and the comments here are also worth reading. I'm from the UK and I left in 2007. Looking in at what used to be home it doesn't seem like a good place. I'm very glad I was out of there during brexit, working in Europe as it happened.
I would add that this town is in the general area of D-day (Normandy) which is (was) notable for its milk production and products: butter, cream... and TRUE cheese ;-)

Wdym gullible? I'd hope that politicians and policy makers alike are keeping an eye on AI. Transformative AI isn't here yet, but it's coming and if politicians stay clueless until that day, then I don't have high hopes.

I'd much rather see a lot of policy ideas thrown around, even if some of them don't turn out great. If Microsoft is the one making politicians notice that AI is important than I'm all for that, even if they have their own incentives. The default outcome is that they don't care at all until it's way too late.

I stopped using mine from Logitech because while not in motion there's often just enough friction that I can't make a small cursor movement, and that got annoying. Maybe it's better in other models, not sure, but other than that it was pleasant to use.
Just look at any papers that put models through mathematical benchmarks. The model isn't memorizing these problems. For example I just generated 2 random 64 bit integers and asked ChatGPT to add them.

"6769545085823578960 + 16027170449476717488"

ChatGPT said the answer is 22796715535300296448. It got the correct answer even though the problem wasn't in its training data.
I used to do this at one time. I had no users who corresponded with addresses in Russia, Romania or China, and those represented a very high proportion of inbound spam.

Again, who are you to determine what he chooses to write about? Your entire framing of what is going on is simply off-base, so the point you attempt to make about Devereaux's competence is beside the point.

He is choosing to write about the American academic industry, incidentally speaking far more about the humanities than about other fields. The title of the article simplifies that, as all article titles do. That's just how titles work.

He has researched his subject fairly extensively, as far as I can tell.

If you want an article about non-American academy, perhaps including STEM fields, write the damn article yourself.
There's some hyperbole in what Bezmenov claims will be the consequences, but psyops and information warfare are very much real, and have been in use for decades. If he defected from the USSR and worked as a propagandist, he would be very familiar with what these tools are capable of. And if you take a look at the current state of many Western countries, it aligns well with the effects of psyops. Whether it was done by internal or external forces doesn't matter much, but it would be naive to think enemies of the West aren't engaging in it, just as the West is[1].

ScalpGPT: Bypass Company Restrictions and Access GPT4 with Plausible Deniability
Hey HN, we've just released ScalpGPT, a solution that allows developers to access GPT-4 capabilities even if your company has restrictions on using ChatGPT/OpenAI's API. We built it to help creative minds stay productive while still adhering to company policies.

Because "Technically Following the Rules" is the best kind of Following the Rules.

Key points:
- Bypass company restrictions and access GPT-4 features
- Designed specifically for developers
- Simple and affordable pricing: $10 for a bundle of tokens
- Only supports the `chat completion` endpoint for now (more to come with your support)
- Serious, yet light-hearted approach to bypassing limitations

Check out the full blog post here: https://www.kaizoco.com/posts/scalpgpt/

We'd love to hear your thoughts, questions, and feedback. Give ScalpGPT a try and let us know how it helps you in your projects!

> But the root problem is much deeper, which is that our economic system cannot handle people making a decent money.

The value of money is defined by what you can buy for it. If there isn't enough stuff to buy, either prices go up or there will be shortages of those products. If I have to chose between paying 20% more for the bread or to find the shelves empty half the time, I prefer to pay 20% more.

In "other economic systems", meaning socialism, empty shelves are pretty common.

I sometimes wonder if Selenium wouldn't have been able to beat back Playwright more if it had reserved the rights to run SaaS services on top and used some of the proceeds to fund more development.

It's a fantastic tool but I think Playwright wouldn't have been able to take off like it did if more dev time were dedicated to it.
A lot of people I saw being let go at my company weren't very good at their jobs - either because they were not capable or because they were not willing to do a lot of work - and leadership took the opportunity, in their eyes, to get rid of them. I'm not saying it was the biggest factor, but I wouldn't say it was "by far the smallest" based on my observations.
This is confusing.

Which new social network should I go with that is the easiest and has a high chance of success of being mainstream?

It seems every social network is bad or has some kind of ‘evil overlord’ apparently.
That is also the case in France for public universities - the "VPs" and above are all elected by the teaching staff.

To give a disadvantage, it makes it very hard to push through any big changes. Neither the leaders nor the electorate have ever worked in large private orgs, meaning you end up with bizarre situations like an entire university that does not use the Calendar feature in Outlook ("so microsoft knows what i'm doing? that sounds like big brother!"), instead relying on online event-organising tools to ask people to give availability for every single meeting , or a block refusal of opening paid professional courses or opening to foreign students (due to a very hard "teaching must always be free" stance from their voters) , which could bring in much-needed cash to subsidise the "real" students
> research-only the elite

Not really. This is true only for faculty in research institutes like IHES in France, or IAS in USA.

In normal universities, both research-only faculty and teaching-only faculty are considered below the "teaching-and-research" faculty. They correspond to what in the old parlance was called "ordinary professors" in Europe. The "extraordinary professors", despite what they sound like, were considered inferior to them - extra as in outside, so more corresponding to adjunct faculty of today.
As recently as 1 year ago, the fed funds rate was 0.2%, which isn't enough to pay the overheads of a bank.

Banks don't move fast enough to reinvent their whole business and churn their whole portfolio into T-bills on that time scale, and take too long-term a view for "let's just shutter the business when rates go back to zero" to be a business model they will consider. Having a single product - a single account type that is backed by T-bills - is not something regulators will allow a bank to do: all deposit accounts has to be backed by the bank as a whole.

However, there are non-banking businesses that don't have these constraints, and some of them are doing exactly what you suggest. They are called money market funds and business is great for them right now. You can get the returns and safety of short term Treasuries in return for foregoing other services your bank provides (physical branches, credit cards) and accepting a minor liquidity risk that the fund could pause withdrawals.
Nothing stops dairy companies from making a similar product and selling it, but without the "feta" name. Which is exactly what they do (you can find many "white cheese" varieties in central europe, complete with a blue/white colour theme and ancient greek geometric patterns, same with wannabe greek yoghurt).

Of course they never taste the same, as they were made with milk not produced in greece, and without the generations of tradition and knowledge. Hence why the PDO makes perfect sense.

In the US they sell sawdust and call it parmigiano. This is a disgrace.
Nobody decides what he writes but himself. I read the blog frequently and they're well written and researched. I'm tired of Americentrism, and I think this piece would have been better for a wider sweep. I'm interested in how it differs from Japan, or Germany or the UK. I'd be interested in how an American academic understands this.

>You didn't click that link?

I did.

>Maybe you didn't understand it?

I did, but it is only for protecting passwords where HTTPS protects the privacy and integrity of every request and response.

>Simplicity is a good reason to avoid HTTPS, also freedom and economy.

If it's so simple that it is insecure I would say that it is too simple. HTTPS helps with freedom and the economy because people no longer have to trust their network providers to be good actors. They can shop knowing their orders are private and their payment information is secure.

>30% of internet is still HTTP.

This is questionable, but most people don't use that many HTTP sites. 97% of the time people spend on the web is spent using https [0]. The web is trying to get rid of HTTP. Bruesky adding support for HTTP is just introducing unnecessary tech debt.

>100% of non-stupid internet is still HTTP.

I'm not sure what you mean by this considering how ubiquitous HTTPS is.

>Security is not needed in the base layer. You can superpose it.

Which is what HTTPS does. It's built on the insecure layer of UDP for HTTP/3 and TCP for the previous versions.

Even if you are going to limit your scope, a brief expression of awareness of things beyond it is called for-something absent here. Furthermore, the scope seems arbitrarily limited - it isn’t just the US system, the Canadian system is largely the same as far as ranks go - so why is the scope described as just “American”, as opposed to “US and Canada”?
No they're not. A Reader in the UK is I believe 'Assistant Professor' in the US. Which, unless the whole setup is different to the extent I'm not really sure how we can talk about equivalences anyway, strikes me as a bit odd - in my experience (as a student) they did no assisting, they ran their own courses (perhaps with a PhD candidate TA assisting them).
My understanding is that, at the whole economy level, it is in fact neither of these things, but instead too much money in circulation. If the government prints more money, then the amount of goods/services each unit will buy will fall. Through ultra low interest rates and QE, governments have been doing a lot of money printing.
What you are saying is that it may increase your odds of success, but it by no means guarantees it.

If you do nothing - you won't succeed. If you do everything - you may succeed.
How's it namespace pollution? It won't cause any clashes in either std or the user's code. It's just a few directories moving slightly higher up in a directory structure (which as an aside, is even deeper than you might think, because it also includes the deno.land domain, remember).
No we wouldn't. This is not a repeat of 2008, the rules written to keep 2008 from happening again wouldn't have stopped it, and the media has been bullshitting people about this for, basically, partisan reasons. 2008 was caused by default risk and in particular, by the banking system failing to adequately protect against the fact that lots of loans would default at the same time in a recession or housing price crash. The rules were focused on stopping that. The current problem is duration risk - banks hold a bunch of extremely safe but long-duration fixed interest assets like US Treasures and government-backed mortgage securities, the Fed has increased interest rates very rapidly, and that means the interest banks have to pay on their savings is now higher than they get on those asssets. None of the rules foresaw such aggressive interest rate rises, and to some extent this kind of duration mismatch is just how banks work full stop. The media is misleading people about this because they really, really want it to be a story about right wing anti-regulation politicians causing a repeat of the last crisis.
You should really be more specific. Digital file sound quality can range from crap (<=64kbps MP3) to higher than CD quality (losslessly compressed 24 bit 96kHz audio) - BTW CDs are digital too.
I really don't get it. Many of these countries don't even have the resources for clean water, sewage, and reliable agriculture. The idea that they're going to just think their way out of poverty is a very western idea that comes from quite a privileged background. You're not going to be able to do any of that luxurious learning when your stomach is empty and you're having to sleep each night in some war-torn slum. These countries need a lot of basic things before getting them online will have any real impact... Some of the poorest countries don't even have stable governments.

I think most idealist people here would be utterly crushed by how bad the situation is in some countries. Going in with ideas of how tech will be used to raise everyone up... Then having to live in camps with armed guards outside because there's frequent raids... No way to even get supplies in because corrupt beaurocrats keep asking for bribes. The same beaurocrats who are supposed to be on the side of their country are also massively part of the problem. Then you end up realizing that there's so many problems and inter-dependencies that it's not clear if any single person can do anything positive.

All aboard the FEEL TRAIN. Yeah, its hard, I wish I knew the answer.
Other countries also use different systems. For instance, Israel traditionally only has two ranks: "Professor" which is someone who has tenure, and "Lecturer" which is anyone without tenure.
One problem that I find is that it is so unstandarized and ad-hoc beyond the network level that you basically need a complete bespoke client/parser for every API, even within larger companies if the teams are more independent. Meanwhile if you have 1 way to do gRPC or GraphQL clients they fit for anything and you can focus on what you actually want to do with the API.

GraphQL especially is excellent with this, with Apollo federation [1] allowing you to interconnect all the APIs of your complete company into 1 single endpoint and reference each other's data, which is extremely powerful and allows development to move fast if done right.

Indeed, if the theoretical limit to compress wikipedia is n GB, then you will need n GB at least to create the exact same copy of wikipedia. However you may create a jpg of it. (And you can then remove the artifacts, and even enhance it with AI, and you will get something better than the original wikipedia, to keep the image analogy.)
