A common narrative lately is that a lot of stock prices are highly correlated with money supply. E.g. The only reason 2021 bubble happened is because the FED printed trillions of dollars.

I wouldn't say its completely arbitrary given this has been a common discussion point.

No opinions on whether it has meaning, but wanted to add the relevance.
It might surprise no one here that people who are professionals in the finance industry are capable of adjusting for inflation:

You can also note that M2 is correlated basically with inflation in the long run (Rsquared ~0.92)

The error on the part of the twitter user is that he's using nominal values instead of % growth (log-log) values. Something you learn in 101 econometrics.

My other options seem to be to use more Google software or more RedHat software and both of those have been in the doghouse for some time.

I’d be more likely to use CoreOS as at least I can claim peer pressure, and potential layer savings.
No technology is 100% foolproof ; especially in a completely foreign environment ; and they don´t "crash all the time". According to Grusch I think they have recovered "in the double digits" which is less than a hundred. From the history of ufology we know about maybe 10-20 crashes which have lots of corroboration, thatś really not many.

edit: another pt to consider, if any of this turns out to be true - this is really insane, because most of us think "aliens" like one species.... but according to the many abductions and encounters in the past hundred years we may very well have been visited by TENS of different species... which may also explain the crashes, like it's not just one species/propulsion tech that is repeating their errors. Many different craft shapes too, point towards different tech, different points of failure.
Surely though, if you can take travel near light speed you need a detection and maneuverability system so advanced, because any impact is game over, that pottering around at non relativistic speeds should be an absolute doddle.
ditto. Second hard graphics cards are such a wild west to me.

It may be a person's instinct to immediately blame the researcher, and of course, I definitely think data fabrication is never justified.

However, what is the societal problem here? It's the problem that in academia, there are such pressures to publish and be first nowadays that many people will do anything to get ahead. It doesn't help that social media and news sites have introduced a sort of gamification into it.

People have their natures, and the current state of academia encourages cheating, plain and simple. Just like the current state of finance encourages market manipulation.

If we want to fix it, simply outing these fakes will not be enough. While I don't have much sympathy for the cheaters, I also don't have much sympathy for the scientific community that has created this environment.

I have been a Rewind user on the Mac for months and on the iPhone (beta) for a few days now, and there are basically no tools in the past few years that have changed the way I work this much.

I get a transcription and summary for every meeting that I'm in. The summary fairly reliably captures all main points, and definitely enough to job my memory on anything else. It gets action items.

I use Ask Rewind constantly – "who mentioned X in a meeting last week", "what did Joe say was his top priority for Q3", "was I reading about project X in Notion, Slack, or Jira last month" ... all questions Rewind handles well.

It just makes me a better colleague. I am a bad note taker, and this allows me to be more present and engaged in meetings because I have zero stress about forgetting something.

It's not perfect by any means; I wish transcription was more accurate and things like that, but all it needs is marginal improvement in a bunch of areas and we're so early. Such an exciting product.

Is this a good test case for all of these competing open (and even closed) source LLMs:

feed it a list of YouTube/SoundCloud quality “artists + song titles” and ask it to clean them up/figure out how split/parse them into CSV or JSON and then identify their genre

I want to make sure I’m not being too harsh when I criticize these as useless if they can’t do this “basic” task because I’m pretty sure I was able to get GPT-3.5 to do this reasonably well for about $0.50 with no token cost optimization

I’m just curious why people are so infatuated and putting so much effort into all of these other open source models if they couldn’t complete this basic task.
Maximizing windows in their own workspace is annoying and one of the worst parts of macOS window management. I really hope they don't bother with that. Just because I want a maximized window doesn't mean I want it in it's own workspace. It just makes dealing with windows harder because you now have to move to some other workspace to grab a window you want to reference first.

Producers are often studio executives, who are on the other side of this debate.

Directors are not on strike, as they are the closest of the unions with studios and have never been on strike in the history of their union.

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make, this year Hollywood is on track to exceed its pre-covid performance at the Box Office worldwide and domestically. Netflix/etc are growing more than ever.

It seems like all signs point to this sector being on the up and up.
> Not only eyewitness accounts, but also recorded military footage (e.g. onboard cameras, FLIR sensors mentioned in the hearing). Are you suggesting that numerous high-ranking former military officials are lying under oath? And that the expensive, high-tech equipment recording the objects also failed in a way that showed something that wasn't actually there? That sounds much more frightening to me than the alternative explanation.

Yes. And those that aren't lying are severely mistaken. Expensive high tech equipment can fail or show weird readings ALL THE TIME. You get small piece of debris on a camera moving at mach 1 and it's going to look like something is moving at mach 1 with you, and somehow magically keeping up in strange ways before "zooming off" when it falls off the camera.

Pilots are NOT techs. Their jobs is to fly the plane and shoot shit down. They need a working understanding of the tools in front of them and do their best with the information presented. If my car says that my engine oil pressure is at 0, but somehow the car is still running, I don't assume magic. I assume ignorance and take it to a mechanic. MANY of these supposed UFO sightings boil down to such situations, and techs have verified that multiple times, but that gets ignored.
If there was ever a more antithetical statement, it was 'trust the science', because science is supposed to make sense from a seemingly chaotic world and the 'rules' it discovers should be reproducible. The trust should be verifiable.

Unfortunately, this is further complicated by the simple fact that not everyone can even begin to evaluate whether a given information is bs. That is a problem.
>aliens exist - they have recovered technology - they have recovered bodies - there's a shadow government of people approving access to information on a higher level than the government

> One of the only levers we have to fight back is to call out these abuses and loudly call attention to them.

This is a ridiculous non-solution that has never really worked in practice. At best, it might revise the legal/PR strategies of the corporations and enables even more dishonesty on the part of various nonprofits who ostensibly "support" a related cause. More often, it's simply a big fat waste of effort.

Historically, organizing labor to withhold labor power to win political power for working people is in fact the only strategy that has actually worked. This is not what the actor/writer guilds are doing, though. They are merely bargaining for economistic industry-specific measures, not the political interests of working people as a whole.

I dunno, this describes my reality pretty accurately. Apple, Figma, and Adobe all try to lock you in with cloud storage and proprietary storage formats: the more you invest in their products, the more you'd lose by not paying them. I used to run some websites off Squarespace, and there's no way to export them and move somewhere else, so you end up paying ~$200 a year to host a static web page, else recreate it from scratch. Gmail has me locked in by having all my emails from the last twenty years. Slack owns my conversation history with my friends. And so on...

> those that do often have extremely valuable products.

I agree with that. All those products above are valuable and useful to me. But, the price is not commensurate with the value of the product alone. The price only makes sense when you add both the value I get from using the product and the pain I would experience by not using the product anymore. The product developers work hard not only to make the product useful, but also to punish you if you leave. That's the gross part.
> And unlike video streaming platforms, most audio platforms have “most” content that people want to listen to.

I'm worried about the potential for this to change. Netflix used to have a much larger catalogue, especially for movies. Nowadays the things I'm interested in may be spread across a dozen different services.

Currently it seems that Spotify, and Youtube music (probably Apple music too, though I've not tried it) have almost everything I can think of. But I can certainly see a possible future where these services get much more fragmented.

For instance, I know Apple is already pushing a classical only streaming service. Could/would they some day remove classical from their other streaming services and instead offer a higher priced bundle deal? I think it's possible.
For a time, you could make a living writing short stories for genre rags. A matter of a few decades, but still. Without needing to be a household name, even.

They're still the only places that pay non-famous and non-trendy people any money for short fiction. Most literary fiction publications below the tippy-top don't pay a dime, and lit-fic fosters a culture of accepting that state of things, even shaming people for asking about pay. Can't make a living in genre short fiction and the odd hastily-written pulp novel anymore—hasn't been enough demand for decades—but getting a check feels good, at least, even if it's two figures, and you won't get that in lit-fic.

Not in Africa. The plan is to have billions of Africans migrate to Europe to do the work instead, due to the climate crisis.

When they get to Europe, they are going to expect the same quality of life that Europeans have historically enjoyed. So, just because Europeans aren't reproducing, doesn't mean that they aren't being superseded by a new group of materialist consumers.

“what’s popular on the radio /TikTok/charts” being gutter tier hogwash is exactly what they’re talking about. Humans didn’t lose the ability to create good interesting music, and nobody legitimately thinks that. The publishing industry prevents independent artists from reaching any kind of mainstream popularity. Indie artists need money and the publishers that decide the winners/losers by controlling all the traditional distribution networks have no incentive to signal boost independents.

One of the reasons why I strongly prefer FLOSS over commercial software is that FLOSS tends to be of better quality.

Thanks for checking it out! Did you make it to the full plan interface? Within the House form on the plan screen, there are additional inputs to model things like insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc., and I have these split out as separate inputs from monthly payment because A) those rates/amounts vary from place to place (and may adjust over time as property value changes), and B) this makes it easier to answer experimental questions like "how would my plan change if property taxes were higher."

And maybe I should do something to make this more clear, but the "years to pay off" text embedded in the house form is just a preliminary estimate -- other things like cash-flow priorities you create to make extra payments can impact the actual pay-off time in the full simulation.

On the cost topic, are you familiar with the pricing for other products in the planning space? I've made an effort to position PL competitively, and a piece of unsolicited feedback I get a lot in the wild is that current pricing is actually still too low.

Do you think dicing up the feature set to create a cheaper pricing tier could be helpful? If so, I'd be curious to hear opinions on which features should fall into each tier.

FWIW I do also offer general discounts on request (info on pricing page).
They would never get another space contract again if they did that, but they can see this will be a larger market in 30 years, so they'll lick their wounds and continue on commercial space projects.

Why not just adjust the market cap by CPI? Remember these companies grow, get bigger, drive more revenues, yield more profit and own more assets - ownership interest in these companies becomes more intrinsically valuable over time. If your goal is to remove the impact of the change in purchasing power, we have a way of doing that - CPI.

> property crime is very common and not prosecuted.

Honestly, and perhaps controversially, I think this is not a super bad thing. Yeah getting your stuff stolen sucks, but at a society level it’s not a big deal.

I had my car broken into in Seattle in a hotel parking lot. The hotel staff cleaned up the glass, but otherwise didn’t tell us. When we found the car, we notified the police - in Seattle this means filling out a form on their website. They automatically email you a police report to forward to insurance. I’m very confident no one in SPD was involved. We had insurance money that day and the car fixed a few days later. Between the window repair and the items stolen was probably ~$1500 in damage. But the cost of a police officer to spend hours investigating (and still probably not catching anyone) would make it prohibitively expensive to run a police force. Unless you want to put up cameras everywhere and staff the government to track people through them, you basically can’t prevent petty crime in cities. Even that may not have caught our thief. It’s just too expensive to police everything, and with so much police corruption, I’m not sure I’d prefer 3x the force at 1/3 the salary.
