Please. Elon is just some guy who lucked into billions and talks too much for his own good.

He isn’t an engineer, he isn’t a scientist, he’s just some guy with a huge cult following selling a brand to crypto bros, finance bros, “entrepreneurs” and “influencers” with a supposed rags to riches story despite the fact that his own father said they had a stake at an emerald mine.

Elon’s big mouth got the better of him again, proving he’s nothing special.

Only a moron would get into a dick measuring contest with a guy with years of proper martial arts training and challenge him while being totally untrained.

You mean general AI? That might replace all of humanity.

I’m not concerned about my job.

General AI does worry me.
Having gone through this two years ago at the height of car unavailability, it really was take what was available. You don’t want that $50 first aid kit that comes in a canvas bag and has a few band aids in it? Too bad, you’re buying it. (I offered to sell mine to the sales person, but he wouldn’t bite.) don’t want the rails that could just be unscrewed by literally anyone at the dealership, too bad, $500. Fortunately, those were the only things we were stuck with.

When Scion was around it was supposed to be customer driven, but the sales people were the same Toyota salespeople and couldn’t help themselves. Are treacherous people drawn to (car) sales or does sales make people treacherous?
I'm not a high paid tech worker like the rest of you, but I've never really considered the price of individual grocery items as a factor in buying it. If something was on sale - great, and I'd prefer that over other options. Otherwise I'd just fling stuff in my cart.

Now? I regularly don't buy things after seeing their price. It's not that we can't afford it, but I simply can't stomach the price. I'm not paying $11 for two shrinkflationed bags of "regular size" Doritos apparently on sale. An empty calorie snack like that just isn't worth it for me, and it pisses me off that they'll charge that much for what's basically a small amount of corn...and that enough people still buy it to maintain that price.

Eventually I may adjust to these new prices, but in the interim I'm regularly shocked at what things cost and it's causing me to spend less.

I work in cheminformatics, and wrote one of the documents cited by Sagar.

The answer is "yes and no".

My area of focus is a part of molecular similarity. The overall idea is that molecules which are similar tend to have similar functionality. There are many approximate ways to estaimte molecular similarity. The one I focus on maps chemical substructures ("features" or "descriptors") to 1 or several bits on a bitstring of length ~1024 bits, called a fingerprint.

We use Jaccard similarity (called Tanimoto similarity in my field) of two fingerprints as a proxy for molecular similarity computed as popcount(A & B) / popcount(A | B). Since popcount(A) and popcount(B) can be pre-computed, this ends up being popcount(A & B) / (popcount(A) + popcount(B) - popcount(A & B). If the fingerprints are grouped by popcount then this boils down to computing popcount(A & B), plus some tiny amount of integer math.

This can be used to find the k-nearest matches to a single query, to cluster the fingerprints, to identify diverse fingerprints, and so on.

These methods bounded by two things: 1. the time needed to compute popcount of (A & B), and 2. the memory bandwidth.

The CPU bottleneck really is the popcount calculation. At https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13321-0... I compared different popcount implementations and found POPCNT about 2-3x faster than the fastest pure-C popcount.

However, POPCNT on Intel processors isn't all that fast. Rather, when I was really focused on this 5+ years ago, Intel processors only had one execution port than could handle POPCNT, so I could only get one 8 bytes per cycle. (Some AMD processors have several such ports, but I never tried one of those CPUs.)

Instead, Wojciech Mula, Nathan Kurz and Daniel Lemire showed that AVX2 instructions were even faster than sequential POPCNT instructions because AVX2 could handle more things in parallel. See my table for numbers.

For small bitstrings (I think 512 bits was the boundary) POPCNT is still the fastest.

With AVX2 it's fast enough that memory bandwidth becomes the limiting issue, and I need to start worrying about cache locality.
Agree. What's actually been airbrushed from history is the extent of the islamic slave trade. It was a serious threat to coastal populations of western Europe. Western governments were paying protection money to islamic governments to prevent raids. It wasnt just piracy, it was state sanctioned. So much so there was a permanent slavers base established on an island off England's coast:

https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Barba...

There was also a religious element that is conviently ignored, Islam did not allow enslaving of Muslims, but enslaving anyone else was fine. Hence Christian countries were targeted.
Based on the situation in Canada today, I don't think that would be a good idea.

Pretty much every economic problem and distortion in Canada today can be directly attributed to the socialist policies put in place by the various left-wing and "right-wing" (who are still quite left-of-centre) governments over the last half-century or so.

For example, significant taxation and public debt are needed to pay for the bloated, inefficient, and low-quality provincial public health care and education systems, as well as the various government bureaucracies.

Large, unaccountable bureaucracies have resulted in there being intrusive regulation all over the place, even when it's completely unnecessary.

The high taxation, the intrusive regulation, and onerous bureaucracy make starting and operating businesses in Canada far harder than it should be.

Things that should be simple and routine, such as hiring and paying an employee, becomes a significant burden, especially for small businesses.

Ever-increasing minimum wages, which in many cases are economically infeasible relative to the real wealth that the employees would be creating, discourage job creation, and introduce economic distortions throughout the supply chain.

Excessive regulations have also made it unnecessarily challenging and costly to build homes and buildings for businesses, resulting in high property and rental costs.

The extremely high levels of immigration have only exacerbated many of the aforementioned problems.

That's all just the tip of the iceberg.

Socialist policies have been quite detrimental to Canada, and have noticeably decreased the standard of living over time.
I have been listening to plenty of "finance gurus" (i.e. my favorite is Dave Ramsey). I see (here in EU) that young people have 1-2 credit cards. I understand that in the US the number is higher. The dream for any young (female) professional at the tender age of 25 is to own a couple of very expensive bags ("because I deserve it" using credit cards of course).

Consumerism going steady. At least in the US you have the 401k. When I begin a discussion with friends/ acquaintances on "hey guys anyone got a decent EFT? I go my VOOG and SOXX all set up but I am looking to diversify further with some water, consumer, international, etc" and they look at me as if I speak some ancient language.

So.. most save minimal, invest nothing. Paycheck-to-paycheck is a big thing in the US and it is happening in the EU now.

Interesting from a couple perspectives (taking the above as honest about AirBNB). Confirms a bit about what's been weird with the economy and hiring.

From the man on the street's perspective (and apparently teirc's view above), FAANG work is where you want to go, and what you want to have on your resume. Per the quote, "a golden ticket". Pretty much all the news talks about.

However, if you talk to the rest of the tech community, they're like: "We tried poaching a few of them. We didn't really like the results. You work at one of those places and you get infected with something that's 'not startup'".

This seems a lot like Stanley and Neck's recent work [1]. The people you've historically been most likely to get as hires are the people most likely to ditch FAANG's for anything shinier. The people who don't "only care about promo", don't actually leave.

Other note, also similar to other recent posts [2] and comments about the change in Google. Like people finally realized: "wait...they're just like MS. All that 'Don't be evil' stuff was just corp-speak. Two decades later, and its strategy deja-vu with Android / Search / Ads. With MS now being the caring innovator who values your freedom of choice."

Because as long as they’re still able to be in business, they’ll just keep dragging along without paying more. Scale this across the economy appropriately.

Is the customer still showing up and living with “please be patient”? Then why reduce margins by paying more?
> I don't think there's any formal understanding of such mechanics (or concerns)?

A woman can birth a normal baby in 9 months, but no matter how many women you assign to this you won't be able to reduct that time to 1 day. Same with education (teaching capacity is limited), building buildings (incl. factories), etc. A given number of medical specialists can only treat so many patients and train so many new specialists. A population's growth whilst keeping the current quality of life is thus limited by several factors, including construction (for new housing, facilities for new jobs), education, and healthcare.

> current allocation structures can quickly be adjusted -- we even saw this happen with COVID

And the impact of these sudden adjustments to the allocation schedules are still felt across the world.

Chip scarcity due to bulk order changes/cancellations took a long time to ebb (assuming it has subsided by now, I haven't checked recently), health services are still not back to the levels they were before COVID, shipping prices across the atlantic doubled, etc. And that is with only a temporary change in local supply/demand. I'd expect permanent changes in supply/demand to have much more severe and long-lasting effect.

Note that post-scarcity is only applicable assuming the current population of the country. Adding 700 million population across EU/CA/USA (the equivalent of ~50% of the population of Africa) will eclipse the local food production capacities, re-introducing food scarcity.

Note that production existing somewhere on earth doesn't mean everyone on earth has access to that, not in the least due logistics. As an example: Ukrainian grain is having trouble with getting to Africa in the high volumes from before Feb. '22.
Human history is literally LITTERED with conspiracies.

If John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington didn't conspire, the United States as-is would still be a colony of Great Britain.

Just saying.

Addendum: If Stadhouder Willem van Oranje and likeminded people like Andries Hessels, Jacques Tayaert, Jacob Valcke, Pieter van Dieven and Jan van Asseliers didn't conspire against the Spanish throne The Netherlands as-is would probably still be a vassal or colony of Spain.

Fun fact: the United States Declaration of Independence was inspired by the Act of Abjuration ("Plakkaat van Verlatinghe") in which the United Netherlands declared their independence from Spain.

And I could go on and on and on, but I think you and me both have better things to do on this beautiful Sunday.
> as though there's some kind of coordinated conspiracy.

I don't see how this is different from consensus among actors, or rather it looks the same.

The label or attribute conspiracy is a tool used to discredit findings or positive correlations.

I see now that you think elite is overloaded and programmed to have conspiracy relation. This is not true though according to m-w: "a group of persons who by virtue of position or education exercise much power or influence".

If you pay attention to main stream media, you will see almost all forms of dissent attributed to conspiracy.

>> Low wage workers have actually seen the most wage growth recently.

Yes and no(?)

From the study "Real wage growth across the wage distribution, 2019–2022" shows 9% real wage growth. The "real" portion is compared to engineered inflation figures. In the day-to-day world where people pay actual prices, price increases have not be 2% or whatever CPI claims them to be, they are much worse.

We can back into rosy numbers, but the real numbers are felt by people. I'd suggest speaking to a variety of people and see how they feel. Ensure to also speak to someone on social security income. I speak to my mom and see the numbers on a weekly basis.

> On September 19, 1363, a ten-year-old Tatar boy named Jaqmaq was sold as a slave in the Black Sea port of Tana. His first owner had probably been a Christian, as he had already been baptized with the name Antonio. His second owner was a local Muslim named Aqbughā, the son of Shams al-Dīn. Aqbughā sold Jaqmaq/Antonio to his third owner, Niccolò Baxeio of the parish of St. Patermanus in Venice, for 400 aspers. Niccolò also bought a fifteen-year-old Tatar girl from Aqbughā and a twelve-year-old Tatar boy from another local man.

There is a lot of regional variation in production [1] and income [2][3]. On the whole, real disposable income and savings rates are up [4].

But someone in the midwest (income up, annualized, 7 to 11% Q4 '22 to Q1 '23) or Florida (7.9%) is seeing a very different economic landscape than someone in California (0.7%) or Indiana (-1%) [5].

That matches my experience. Of places I've spent significant time in the past year, the one with the most reasonably priced food for eating out is NYC, of all places. It has very expensive places too, of course, but a lot more sub-$10 options than anywhere else I've been recently. There are even a few 99-cent pizza slice places still in business (not as many as 10 years ago, but they exist, and $2-3/slice places are abundant).
Something to consider is that unemployment rates only account for people who are actively in the job market/applying for jobs, and the workforce participation rate dropped significantly with Covid. If you get so discouraged that you stop looking for work, you are no longer counted as "unemployed"

> You can't click buttons and order the car from the website, you have to work with a dealer and convince them it's worth their time to order a car for you.

I'm well aware. It's just that toyota.com is an online resource that's easy to find and and verify. Sure, dealer pricing is more "accurate", but it requires much more legwork on my part and even then it turns the whole thread into an anecdote-fest with people saying "well the dealers in my area are charging $9000 market price adjustment (or whatever) so you're wrong!" or "I called around a few dealerships and found one that gave me a $2000 discount!". Doing a quick search on reddit for "dealer markups" in the past 6 months turns up plenty of anecdotes of people being able to secure cars with no or very little dealer markups.
> There is a _LOT_ of debt being added, household debt is up to something like 17 trillion dollars from like under 10 trillion pre pandemic

Consumer debt service payments as a percent of disposable personal income - is at 5.6%. In 2016 it was around 5.5%-5.6% - despite far lower interest rates. The same figure was 5.6-6% in the 1995-2000 years.

Household debt service payments as a percent of disposable personal income - at 9-10% this year is at one of the lowest levels in 43 years. That figure was over 11% in the 1995-2000 years.

The ratio of household debt to gdp is around 0.73%. That's lower than 2011-2019 years.

US households are in fact in decent condition, despite a loud minority of people proclaiming the end of the world. The facts do not support the dire claims.

Household assets in Q1 2023: $168 trillion. Liabilities: $19.6 trillion. $149t net worth.

Household assets in Q1 2016: $106 trillion. Liabilities: $14.5 trillion. $91t net worth.

In seven years US households added $62 trillion in assets against $5.1 trillion in liabilities.

The US has gotten dramatically wealthier in the past seven years. That's how people are affording everything.

US gdp per capita is $80,000 (with ~337 million people). That's nearly France + Britain combined. There is a vast underestimation of how much income the US has and how rich the US is.

The US median household has a higher net worth than either Sweden or Germany. And the US household income and disposable income figures are typically among the highest in the world.

Depends if you need a house or not, the idea that people are treating future consumption as an investment does not seem to hold much weight.
