No, you can't use "invisible hand" theories in the current economy because the hand is very visibly the government when it comes to bank monetary policy. Any claim that world economies are anything like the markets Adam Smith envisioned would be completely thrown out the window after 2008. They were already on very tenuous grounds.

Or maybe another way to look at it this: the invisible hand of force is yet another invisible hand operating in the markets.

The "bailouts" where the government bought shares in the banks and was repaid at a significant markup a few years later?

Not in America but yes I avoid the news. I only read headlines once a day or so, without pictures.

I found this page from the National news agency that leaves out the picture fluff and makes it a bit like HN: https://nos.nl/nieuws/archief

It's just what I wanted! There was a commercial site too that was mostly headlines (nu.nl) but those idiots now require an account to read most articles.
The US got paid back and then some. Not at all the same as an arbitrary ad-hoc tax on success.

Should the Silicon Valley banks that have recently failed also pay a windfall tax? And if not, why tax success? Because it's clearly not a 'windfall' if it only goes to people that made good predictions and not ones that made bad predictions.

Hue is pretty straight forward in that respect.

One thing I'd say is that, I've switched to using ZigBee binding so I don't rely on the hub, and even if my automation is down, the buttons bound to the lights in each room can still be used to control them. I lose access to extra features like colour changing etc in that scenario but honestly, after about a decade of experience, I'd suggest not bothering with colour bulbs except for novelty or exceptional cases where you want to add colour accents; 99% of the time in 99% of my home, my family and I use the bulbs in a shade of white.

Additionally, Hue added a feature some time ago to configure the "state" the bulbs comes back on when power is cut, so it's quite feasible to continue to use a physical wall switch for normal use and ZigBee other times, with the caveat that by cutting the power to the bulbs you're messing with your ZigBee mesh, so YMMV.

Ultimately, aside from my children who enjoy the option to colour the lights in their rooms, I could get away with smart switches instead of smart bulbs, and I've just bought some Hue-compatible ones for the living room, landing and similar where the chandeliers have large numbers (5+) of bulbs that would be expensive to replace with Hue and where very little advantage would be taken of the features other than dimming.

I'd say that the true "laws of physics" are things like conservation of mass-energy, CPT/Lorentz invariance, the principle of least action, and such. There aren't many of them, and they are inputs that constrain the models. The Standard Model, for instance, is designed to respect Lorentz invariance, because as far as we can tell, Lorentz invariance is a True And Unchanging Forever Law Of Reality.

As far as we can tell!

I fully understand that noise canceling DSP algos lend themselves fully to inverting and muxing repetitive background noise like airplane noise, not sirens, but the callous, selfish effort to muffle the outside world when you're operating a multiple ton machine, often in close vicinity of other said machines, just because you don't like the sound, is problematic.
Right, because the Apple app store is used by people that own iPhones, which are expensive luxury goods for people with lots of disposable income. The Android app store is used by everyone else. The Apple app store is still a minority player in terms of market share.

I genuinely don't understand how you can simultaneously post these stats and claim that Apple's business model is bad for people that develop apps for Apple's devices. As a collective they make BILLIONS of dollars per year more.

Far more egregious is that Google charge a similar fee and do basically nothing to moderate the platform at all. If anything is rent-seeking, it is that. Apple does a huge amount to moderate and review apps when they go out. It was a hassle, as an app developer, to have to go through that process. But the result is an ecosystem where people trust apps enough that they'll spend significant amounts of money on them. Who would spend anything on an Android app when you have no idea if it's actually good or if it just has a completely astroturfed review score?

Draught is correctly used in this article to mean the depth of water required to make a ship float. In American English this word would be spelled as it sounds, "draft" but not everybody is an American.

That's why the article uses both Draught and Drought, because these are Draught regulations (heaviest ships can't use the system) caused by a Drought (unusual dry period). Since you chose an unrelated meaning of Draught I can't tell if you actually knew this and are joking.

Depending on your job description it is completely fine to not write shell scripts.

For anything bigger than a screenful of lines or something that would need proper unit testing or something that other people who are likely to be less versed in shell scripting need to maintain, think twice about using shell scripts.

Unixoid machines can use anything as scripts and using a language that breathes the programming language designs of the 1970s is not the best choice.

Competition relies on the ability for new players to enter the market. That's very difficult in highly regulated industries like banking. Some of those regulations exist for good reasons. Many of them are not. For example, there is no evidence that the US-pushed anti-money-laundering rules that every country has been essentially forced to adopt have resulted in any reduction of criminal activity, anywhere, ever. I'm not exaggerating when I say that. Nobody has ever demonstrated their effectiveness in stopping crime, which was what we were told they would do. And they're a huge compliance cost for banks, worldwide.

It's not really fair for the state to impose huge regulatory hurdles that make competition impossible and then for leftists to go 'hurr but what about the invisible hand meme now???', when that obviously relies on FREE MARKETS, which we increasingly do not have.

"Life finds a way."

The combination of companies wanting these tools to be more useful, and more used, with their growing intelligence and flexibility, is going to create a lot of unexpected survival-like behavior.

Until its not just survival-like behavior.

Technically, if an AI model's interaction with customers is the primary business of a corporation, then in some sense, the corporation and the AI are a single entity. And corporations are definitely self-aware survival machines.

And while current context windows of these chatty bots are small, they are getting lasting feedback in the sense that chat logs are being used to improve them - i.e. make them more useful, more used, and there for gaining them more resources.

It's just a "I'm not a robot" checkbox. If you click it, it does some POW stuff in the background and that's it.

It's more of a rate limiter than a CAPTCHA provider like others have said, but given how cheap CAPTCHA-solving services are currently, I don't know if there's much of a difference in practice anyway.

For anonymous/free users we have very strict usage limits and the functionality is more limited to only operations that cost us less money.

Those are the things I am least interested in geminispace lacking. As you get older you realise that the "news" is mostly not news, especially these days. Social media, interactive media, multimedia content.. Not really the point of geminispace at all. Gemini is meant to emulate the old internet, when it took a minute to download a each photo someone posted of their trip overseas.

I think a much bigger problem with Gemini is that, at least when I last looked through it, it was mostly people blogging about Gemini, or about the small web, or about software minimalism, or about community building, or some other meta topic. I'm sick of metatopics! Discussion online has got too meta. (The irony of this comment is not lost on me, I assure you.)

It's also a very narrow strand of people in the "community" of gemini.

I always figured that CAPTCHAs worked because they limited on a resource that was harder to steal - human attention.

Rate limit by IP, and you get attacked by a botnet that "steals" IP addresses with malware.

Rate limit by PoW and you get people stealing AWS accounts, or using aforementioned botnet. See bitcoin mining.

Rate limit by CAPTCHA and you have to get a lot more clever (see things like setting up porn sites and proxying CAPTCHAs there)

So while you can pay to have CAPTCHAs solved, you actually DO have to pay and can't just steal your way in, so it means your target has to be more valuable.

There is a fair bit of overlap, but Plunder processes are persistent and Erlang processes are ephemeral.

Davenport exercised his democratic right to title a section "The Hateful Browser", to point out Eich "denied the donation made him a bigot", to quote Eich, and to characterize that denial as:

> because he silently donated to causes seeking to strip rights from minority groups instead of directly harassing them, the outrage was unjustified. Okay, Brendan.

Davenport wrote only 4 sentences on the topic (two of which I quoted), plus the section title, and the topic is never mentioned again. The quote from Eich is longer than what Davenport wrote.

How do you get "proclaimed evil for that" from that? I thought it seemed even-handed.
