> Adjusting for inflation is the standard metric for good reason. That's a much better measurement of real economic growth

By "inflation" here you mean something like "average price level", which of course is also skewed by changes in the money supply, according to standard microeconomic supply and demand. So it does not strike me as a good way to measure "real economic growth"; the fact that it is the usual method in all developed countries is a bug, not a feature.

The right way to measure real economic growth is to, um, measure real economic growth: the actual quantity of goods and services produced. Yes, that will mean there is not a single number for "growth", but so what? A properly functioning economy does not need a single number for "growth". The fact that government micromanagement requires such a number is, again, a bug, not a feature.

> the numbers are mostly useless for crafting policy

For crafting the policy of central government micromanagement, yes. But central government micromanagement doesn't work. The Soviet Union spent most of the 20th century proving that. The fact that other countries have not yet gotten the memo is, once more, a bug, not a feature.

> Money supply should grow with economic activity

I understand that this is a common claim among mainstream economists, but first, that doesn't make it right (monetary expansion is a common feature of failed civilizations in human history, and to just blithely adopt it as policy is not wise), and second, "grow with economic activity" is not how the money supply in any developed country is actually determined. (There is also the fact that monetary expansion is equivalent to a wealth transfer to those who get the newly printed money from those who don't, which generally means enriching the already rich at the expense of everyone else.)

Which is not what Emma Thompson was talking about.

And that’s exactly her point. A Wes Anderson movie is not the same thing as a video of birds at a bird feeder for cats to watch on YouTube.

And accuracy isn’t sufficient to say a term is being appropriately used in a certain context. A completely digital movie is also nothing more than bits. It would be accurate to talk about the movie as bits. Or as stuff. Or as an actualization of an idea. Or a trademarkable good. Or the output of a collaborative effort.

All of those are accurate terms to describe that movie. But it does not make them appropriate terms to describe the movie in most contexts.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but free will, I think, requires consciousness. If you want to train to keep your hand on a burner wouldn't that be free will. Are we implying that because we can sense pain and other things that we don't have free will. Free will doesn't mean you are omnipotent. You can choose to put your hand on a burner and you can choose to practice keeping it there, both are examples of free will. An instinct to avoid pain isn't negating the free ability to make choices.
I have 4 pi4's running HiFiBerryOS. They connect to my Roon VM. I can group them together & they will play the same song in sync.

I have a pi4 running OSMC with the Plex addon attached to my television.

I've got about a half dozen Pi 0 W's with addon sensors that inform my Home Assistant of the temp, humidity, PM2.5 level, and CO2 levels in each room.

I just ordered a CM4 to run the PiKVM board for my homelab server.

I also plan to monitor and water my plants using Pi 0 W's.

I just ordered a Pi4 for running BirdNet, to identify birds in my area.

I would also like to work with ChatGPT to identify people and/or birds around my house.

Reminds me of the 1990s. The amount of work for consultants to build business solutions with no code or low code tools was staggering, including Borland Delphi, Visual Basic, Excel, MS Access, SqlWindows, Powerbuilder, and many others. I don't know if I agree with that they cost "3-10x more" than building the solution with code, as often these projects would never have been started if they were built with normal code, as the decision process is totally different in most organisations (eg: related to skills and maintaining the software)

Comparing to retail is not apples to apples. The overall margins on Amazon tend to be lower across the board. So, yes, there's a problem with comparing directly with retail in general. Amazon is taking on distributor costs, but they aren't really doing anything to reduce manufacturer costs. Manufacturers still need an assembly line, warehousing, shipping (to get it to Amazon), & running their business... maybe they're not getting any profit, but that's the problem we're talking about.

While amazon is covering their own warehouse & fulfillment shipping costs, that's really that different from costs normally borne by retailers who have warehouses and handle delivery to their retail outlets.
Any eye toward allowing users to train their own voices? The only reason I’m using Elevenlabs is because I can train a suite of voices on my (legit, legal) archival content. It’s not a perfect replication of the original voice, usually, but for my purposes, this isn’t a requirement. What it does get is the artifacts, recording environment, and a large swath of the prosony and other voice elements that make it sound real and not AI
Yeah, thats an interesting use-case. For now its just merging the SDXL images using ffmpeg and adding narration. For intro videos it would need cooler transitions. Maybe in the next version.
Of course, but that something that doesn't happen easily without hiring the top people in the field.
What's the platform? Something you'd recommend?
For small planes a 20-30 foot range isn’t abnormal for hand flying if you’re paying attention. I’m sure in cruise an airliner is using an autopilot though.

I once had ATC ask if everything was cool on flight following after a hundred foot drop and I was surprised they were paying that much attention. I had forgotten to put my life jacket on before a water transit and while I was putting it on handed it off to my wife who hadn’t taken lessons yet (she later got her license!). It was interesting to see that their tracking was precise enough for them to chime in.
Thanks for trying it out! Yeah its very basic as is, but in future I would want to create a multimodal model that can handle complex topics.
Nope they have been pretty bad. Ever since I started hiring, every single ex Microsoft developer has been worse than any of the other faangs. Also surprisingly the senior they are, the worse they get, so there is something sinister going on there.
I think the Pi 5 would be well positioned to be a free, OSS media box. Android TV and Google TV are very popular today, along with Roku, Apple TV, etc.

I installed PiHole and noticed that every single click of my Roku remote gets sent to Roku’s servers. PiHole blocks this of course, but there was nothing I could do to disable this telemetry on the Roku device itself.

Google TV is slightly better - there’s options to adjust targeted ads, and an “app only” mode, but there’s still usage and other data sent to Google. Also you can’t use it at all if you don’t sign in with a Google account.

I haven’t used other platforms.

But I would like to see an easy to use, easy to configure, OSS streaming box. Now that this can do 4k60 and HDR, it might just work for things like Netflix, Plex, and other services.

Right now the best products on the market for high-bitrate streaming are Apple TV and Nvidia Shield Pro. I wonder if the RPi 5 can compete with that?
I don’t know what you have against Flighty but you through considerable lengths in the thread below to spend time on letting everyone know how unimpressed you are about their efforts.

Your lack of amazement is duly noted, I suggest you don’t waste any more time on it.

That said, I, like others, are indeed impressed for a couple of reasons.

For starters because of the simple fact that they’ve found a novel way to use background notifications to provide users without unrestricted internet access with flight updates.

Contrary to what you imply, and subsequently fail to substantiate, there aren’t many, if any, other apps that use background notifications in such a novel way, certainly not in a way to circumvent restrictions and limitations on data connections.

Moreover, I have never seen background notifications being used to push concrete data to apps. This is because there are severe payload size constraints on notifications, including background notifications.

Typically when background notifications have been used, it simply contains an instruction to download data from a remote server, something that wouldn’t work on a limited connection.

Instead, Flighty uses the minimal payload size to push the actual concrete data used by the app.

Additionally there are some limitations in how often a background notification gets delivered to the tune of a few times per hour, worse yet, delivery of these notification is inconsistent because it’s beyond the app’s control of they get delivered at all.

To account for this, Flighty will use the background notifications to update the data where it can and make estimations in times it cannot not until the next time it can receive an update.

I’d go as far as call that amazing engineering.

You might not and I don’t know your qualms with Flighty, but you’re doing a poor job of convincing people to see it your way.
Describes a scenario I was in almost perfectly! :)
Last I looked they were specifically included. Can you maybe cite it as you're the opposing party.

I'll save some time:

Consumer Rights Act (CRA), 2015, UK:

Section 34

Digital content to be of satisfactory quality

(1)Every contract to supply digital content is to be treated as including a term that the quality of the digital content is satisfactory.

(2)The quality of digital content is satisfactory if it meets the standard that a reasonable person would consider satisfactory, taking account of—

(a)any description of the digital content,
(b)the price mentioned in section 33(1) or (2)(b) (if relevant), and
(c)all the other relevant circumstances (see subsection (5)).

(3)The quality of digital content includes its state and condition; and the following aspects (among others) are in appropriate cases aspects of the quality of digital content—

(a)fitness for all the purposes for which digital content of that kind is usually supplied;
(b)freedom from minor defects;
(c)safety;
(d)durability.

I can't cite caselaw on it, but S34(3)(a) would mean that you can finish the game, for example, so a bug preventing that would be a reason to return as the supplier failed to meet the required contractual terms under S34(1). Note that even minor defects S34(3)(b) are reasons a supply of digital content might not be acceptable.
What do you mean by empty? Have you ever flown in an airplane? I just mean there's lots of undeveloped land. Perhaps I'm a bit biased by my daily surroundings the state of Georgia is almost 2/3rds forested. Almost all of which was previously clear cut agricultural land, but I've flown all over and it's pretty empty in a lot of areas.

Around 2016 when Apple released Messages with extensions, the gifs search feature called #images used Bing to crawl gifs, the biggest reason being it was safe and filtered by AI. That turned out so horrible that Apple ditched Bing in #images. This probably cemented Google’s spot.
(just a wild ass guess, I don't have experience with crux)

> It splits the application into two distinct parts, a Core built in Rust, (...) and a Shell, built in the platform native language (Swift, Kotlin, TypeScript), which provides all interfaces with the external world.

The "external world" includes hardware features, camera, notifications, payment APIs, NFC, gyroscope, etc. The way I imagine it is: as long as the Rust part can talk to the native part, "everything is possible" and you can send commands from the Rust part and send the results back from the native part (or vice versa) or probably even set up streams of data (e.g. live updates to gyroscope).

Flutter has platform channels that is a similar idea. I expect it's even easier in Crux because in Flutter almost everything is written in Dart, and Crux leaves more to platform specific stuff

Aren't these murders for stealing though, like don't you kill the people and they drop stuff. I don't remember the game but I know people used to sell in-game items of high value on eBay then stalk people for a bit and kill them to steal it back. One guy got mad about it and went and killed the people in real life.

1. Compensation is what I would call mid-tier competitive for each region. You won't get an SFO salary in Spain. You'll get more at FAANG or a more tech-focused startup, but I left a FAANG job to come here.

2. Lots of international employees. No exec-level requirements of working from an office, but some teams may have their own rules.

3. It's middle of the pack, but that's mainly because I get stuck doing jobs I hate because I'm the only one with the experience, and we've got a client breathing down our neck. it's the burden of being the Sr Dev, but eventually, I'll have trained my team well enough that I can do a bit of real innovation... until then, I really believe we're enabling artists to make a better living by opening up a market (sync) that has generally been reserved for artists that are already living comfortably.
It's interesting to me how Prometheus came to dominate the metrics ecosystem over the past decade.

When I first encountered it, I had a visceral reaction against it, primary over:
1) The PromQL query language is really not intuitive. I've been using it for years and I still stick to really simple joins to keep myself out of hot water
2) Being forced to use rate() on counter metrics was a really big initial barrier against one of the presumably simpler things a metrics system should handle. See this popular long blog post explaining what Prometheus Counters are: https://www.robustperception.io/how-does-a-prometheus-counte...

But complicated rate() and counters were a symptom of the killer feature about Prometheus, that it was a pull-based rather than push-based model. This meant you could easily re-deploy subcomponents of your metrics system, getting rid of the hair-raising stop-the-world updates that we used to have to do with graphite.
Because braces delimit entire blocks of code, whereas leading whitespace only delimits a single line of code.

It is very easy to stick your cursor between two braces and start typing or paste the clipboard. It is easy to see exactly which depth the added content will exist in. If you'd like a little breathing room, you can put some empty lines between the braces and insert there. Either way, once you (auto)format it'll be fine.

But if whitespace is significant, it's not enough to place your cursor in the spot where the content — the whole block — belongs because there is no one spot where the content belongs. Rather, each line of the content you wish to insert must be placed individually. When pasting a block, placing the cursor at the correct spot before the paste is no guarantee that all of the content will be indented correctly; you can only guarantee that the first line is correct (and even then, doing so might require taking into account any leading whitespace of the copied content). Subsequent lines might need to be adjusted to retain the same relative indentation relative to the first line — or not! It depends on your particular scenario.

But with braces, there really is no “it depends”. Place cursor, put text. It just works.

I do this already, but with Flutter and Rust, via the FFI package flutter_rust_bridge. You can write your logic in Rust and transparently call the functions from the Dart side. The benefit is that you get rock solid business logic that can be compiled everywhere as well as a "write once, run everywhere" solution in Flutter. I don't see why you'd need or want to write even the UI layer from scratch every time.

> the "hierarchy problem" and various allergies to fine tuning are really human preferences or things like

The hierarchy problem is a real problem. The bare Higgs mass, for instance, might be a brute fact (but then again, it might not be), but the effective Higgs mass is some (likely very complicated) consequence of more fundamental physics at energy scales beyond the standard model. We just don't know what it is. But even if those more fundamental constants aren't explicable, they're definitely an explanation.
I think a large part of the black background choice was to hide the missing bodies; any light past chest level is going to push this into uncanny valley pretty fast because the modeling ends at the chest like talking Greek busts.

Agreed on Bezos, for a long time.

Perhaps one reason he retired, is Amazon got so big he couldn’t see any more significant long term growth, relative to its monstrous size, without enshittification:

Extorting income from partners, using sales data from third parties to compete with them, forcing ads and a gamed search onto customers.

He could only (or only wanted to) hold off Wallstreet for as long as he had a better plan.

Other than staying private, with stakeholders who care about the discipline & rewards of only finding quality growth (even if that path isn’t always clear), I don’t know of a way out of that trap.

I am no hippie, but I don’t think public ownership has found the perfect structure yet. There must be a way to better incentivize positive sum-only games. Keeping individual company growth tied more closely with customer improvement.

Even with a single company closed source monorepo, sometimes it’s useful to change settings without a restart and redeploy. And sometimes one runs more than one instance of the same code.
The answer is pretty obvious why though... CEOs look at devs making 6-digit salaries, screwing around with Node.js modules all day long on an endless trendmill/treadmill of "upgrades", new frameworks, UI rewrites while absolutely adding 0 new value. At the end of the day, all the website needed to do was take orders... which it did back in 1998, but now it's a million times more expensive.

As much as a turd nugget as Larry Ellison of Oracle is, he absolutely nailed it when he said "The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women’s fashion."

If a technology comes along that promises to offboard an enterprise from the endless hype train, it's a pretty easy to see why many would jump for it.

That being said, I agree with the premise: no code solutions just shift the complexity elsewhere; code solutions are the right answer, but an entire generation of programmers was never taught to build things that last.
