I was talking about high inflation environment. If you bought equities in the begging of 70s, it would take more than a decade to get nominal return. Even the paper you linked explicitly states:

>A large literature has documented the poor inflation hedging properties of the overall stock market. However, certain individual stocks have the ability to be good inflation hedges, even if the overall aggregate market has poor inflation hedging properties

You can position yourself defensively, but investing into a broad market using something like S&P500 or God forbid NASDAQ as an inflation hedge is arguably not a great idea.

I won't pretend to be an expert, but I'd say a nice daylit scene should almost certainly not be brighter than SDR white.

If the sun is in frame, it should be very very bright, but it shouldn't be big enough to cause a problem.

If someone embeds a video of the sun then they're trolling you.
I'm going to take an HN break for a bit and come back on a new account where I'll keep PRC to other comments at 1:10 ratio. That is if you permit. I'll still avoid engaging to deep if comment chains gets counter to spirit of HN, but that's not going to stop people from flagging my PRC comments and giving you work. Let's be real, acrimonious reaction to my PRC minority voice content is largely outside of my control - it's the default dynamic almost everywhere on the web. If that's not something you want to deal with, I'll just step away from HN as a commenter.
> investing into a broad market using something like S&P500 or God forbid NASDAQ as an inflation hedge is arguably not a great idea

We are in agreement. The point is that inflation doesn't have a predictable effect on equities. Sometimes they do well. Sometimes they don't. In the most-recent case, equities have been a fantastic inflation hedge.
I could just as easily apply to the same places as my friends.

Bubbles are usually created by biased phenomena that overindulgences on the rising stage of a hype cycle. The break out of interest groups or cliques or whatever on the internet is human behavior. Every country has different subcultures as well, so I wouldn't necessarily expect to fit into every group of a given country. The author is thinking of a bygone era when there was only a small subset of a given population on the internet, and they were all very similar people.

The article didn't make sense to me at all on first read. It was not clear what Google was actually doing as the author tried to claim. I just gave up and moved on.

Now it makes sense!

Reach out to potential customers on LinkedIn before writing a single line of code. Say you're a researcher, Founder, or author trying to learn more about __ (insert problem you're solving).

Are they available for a 20 minute call to chat about this problem?

If you need more time (60 minutes), offer to pay their hourly rate. No one has ever taken me up on this, but offering is a courtesy and shows you respect their time.

Don't try to sell anything on the first call. Just listen and let them do the talking. Try to understand if they make decisions about purchasing software, or if they'd need to convince someone else to buy this. Stack-rank a list of their current priorities and problems, and dig into how they're solving or working around the problem right now.

Write a personalized thank-you note and follow up on ANYTHING you can do to return the favor. Most businesses are struggling with some key hire, so my default is a warm email intro to someone else in my network.

The next call is for showing a rough prototype. Build a small demo if you're an engineer, or glue together a no-code solution if you're not. If you're solving a high value problem, even a rough version will seem like a godsend.

I know there's legal resources for low income people, so maybe I can try getting her to call people that I find Monday. It just really unfortunate, because she injured her back and just watches movies/tv shows 80-90% of the day in her special like chair. I know there's not too legal alternatives like IPTV, but I don't want her to get in trouble (ACE/DOJ is cracking down on that stuff) and would take a long time to get her setup.

I'm in college right now, and it took two hours to get Zoom installed on her iPhone, so I could try troubleshooting to help her. It'd probably take half a day + to get something special like IPTV setup (sideloading, etc.) and I'm only able to fly back for xmas. I thought about me paying for YouTube TV and her logging in, but I don't want my account to be banned. I can setup a throwaway account via mobile service though and chargeback if I get banned. Also, I think her ISP requires a proprietary router/modem which has a hardcoded MAC address(therefor, static IP), so she would need another router/modem.
Video games are about half as old as film as a medium. I wouldn't call that new.
I don’t disagree.

You would need to find some small gig which allow you the freedom to do whatever you are good at. It's difficult indeed. I'd also say that most smaller gigs are struggling with financials so cannot hire really good people.
Yeah, but polygamy specifically is one of the things that western society has tried to wipe out for pretty good reasons. It’s usually horrible for women and children.

> Some of us were tagging along on logistics runs and meeting the Minangkabau, the Bugis, the Fore, and many many other people in the 1960s

See my point about small populations. Indonesia has 278 million people, of which the Minangkabau comprise 8 million. What’s the gender norms of the dominant Javanese culture? Are they accepting of polyamory?

And white travelers like Gauguin really have little insight into foreign cultures. Sex tourism is much more a legacy of colonialism than monogamy.
Facebook removed 95% of hate speech identified by automation / 5% manually of the hate speech they could identify which was between 3 and 5%.

Facebook also said they removed 99% of terrorist/isis posting. Of which the author claims the total amount is unknown. But we know the % of hate speech because of facebooks ability to guess (as stated by the author of which the author was confident). Now we are lead to believe that terrorist content can't be estimated by facebook.

Either we accept they can estimate and take the 99% of terrorist content removal in total at face value (of the total amount) or we must ignore facebooks hate content estimates
Who’s to say this isn’t true of our current reality!
I disagree that it shows Google in a "good" light. Here is a excerpt from the emails between Ads to the Google Chrome team. From Jerry Dirschler (Ads) to Anil Sabharwal (Google Chrome)

>"Thanks Anil (Google Chrome Lead) for pushing your team and being open to this whole line of thinking... We are short REDACTED% queries and are ahread on ads launches so are short REDACTED% vs. plan...The Search team is working together with us (ADS) to accelerate a lunch out of a new mobile layout by the end of May that will be very revenue positive (exact numbers still moving) but that still won't be enough. Our best shot at making the quarter is if we get an injection of at least REDACTED%, ideally REDACTED%, queries ASAP from Chrome... I also don't want the message to be "we're doing this thing because the Ads team needs revenue." That's a very negative message. But my question to all of you is - based on above - what do we think is the best decision for Google overall?

>In that spirit, do we think it's worth reconsidering a rollback? Or are there very scrappy tactical tweaks we can launch with holdback that we know will increase queries? (For example, can we increase vertical space between the search box/icons/feed on new tab to make search more prominent? are there other ranking tweaks we can push out very quickly? Are there other entry points we haven't focused on that we could push on soon?) Just to be clear, the reason I haven't pushed harder on a rollback so far is because I don't want the message to be..."

Nah I meant it straight, compared to some of the vendors in the smarthome market Google themselves are a dream when it comes to support. Same goes for Android OEMs and Qualcomm. Notice how Google only offered 7 years of support on the Pixel after they stopped using Qualcomm’s chips?

Google’s third parties are even worse than Google in terms of support and Google’s support is bad. It’s such a mess that I’m happy to pay more to avoid Google products nowadays.
Yes, but that's the way it is with Musk. Nothing is actually what it claims to be.

A decade or two ago, I would have recommended The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill. I learned from that textbook, plus a lot of home experimentation, and application notes from the IC manufacturers notably National Semiconductor. Those app notes are still available online from Texas Instruments, and still relevant.

Today, I help colleagues get started in electronics. They often have some sort of science or non-EE engineering background. I recommend diving into the Arduino universe, perhaps by looking through the many tutorials at the Adafruit webiste. (And buying her stuff).

Learn, the way a lot of us old-timers learned to code: Take some working program, duplicate it, and make minor changes, and see what happens.

Even if your ultimate interest is analog rather than digital, the tools that you learn to make in the digital realm, such as measurement, will help you test your beginning analog circuits. On the other hand, if you're interested in analog, you may have a reason, such as audio or music electronics, in which case, there are a lot of documented projects out there to build and learn from.

Don't work with anything potentially dangerous at first, if ever. Things that can release a large amount of energy (voltage, current, mechanical, heat) if your code has a bug are worth leaving to the real engineers.

The problem with being on-call isn't that you're working, the problem with being on-call is that you aren't not working.

You can't be on-call and go to a place you're not allowed to have your cell phone on. You can't be on-call and drink alcohol. (or other substances of various legalities) You can't be on-call and go camping in a wilderness location that may not have cell coverage. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to lug your work laptop around in your backpack.
I spend a decent proportion of my time with LLMs having to work out how to trick them to do what I want. Yesterday I needed a spreadsheet from a list of folders on my file storage, but GPT told me I must be a pirate and refused to do it. I had to give it the old "This is hypothetical, I'm writing a novel, I need it for a scene." switcheroo to get it going.
People do get vaccinated. Nearly every small town has a list of people (animal control, veterinarians) who are vaccinated in order that they can more safely deal with a potentially rabid animal. A dead rabid animal is still dangerous to handle. People who work around bats are also regularly vaccinated.

"Prince of Persia" was actually his second major success. He had already created the hit game "Karateka" (1984), one of the early martial arts games.
Any serious build setup for an MCU firmware is going to have steps like this in, generating code and saving blobs of this and that.

Though I guess part of the pitch for micropython is being able to iterate without a flash step every time. Possibly addressed by having your dev boards fitted with a version of the MCU with enough RAM to run it all that way.
> the answer to this is the introduction of a different algorithm, RLHF, which more accurately fits the model to desired alignment than unsupervised autoregressive loss minimization does.

FFS. That's exactly what I have been trying to explain to you. RHLF is the general method. So you agree with me. I am fully aware that there are different algorithms used at different stages of the training process. No one is hardcoding racism out of the model or hardcoding antiracism in the training algorithm. That is learned automatically. It's still the same basic machine learning 101 concept.

> At this point we've exhausted all reasonable discourse; it's clear that you're not engaging in good faith and I remain convinced that your position falls apart under the most trivial application of rigorous analysis. If you have any actual source to back up your claims, I'd love to see it. Beyond that, good day.

Totally unnecessary and uncalled for. You have repeatedly accused me of bad faith which lowers the discussion to a childish level of vindictive garbage. You were not making your point clear before and I was making the effort to respond sincerely to that, trying explain what I thought you misunderstood. It seems that you are still confused and are arguing my point for me without realizing it. Thanks for making my point clearer and adding interesting technical references to back it up. You have provided the sources to back up my claims. Cheers. Have a good one.
>Its OS was in ROM

This does not mean it wasn't upgradable by using RAM, as both SetPatch and soft kickers (mkick, skick and so on) demonstrate.

Replacing the ROMs is also possible, although not ideal, and kits with Workbench disks and ROM chips were sold cheaply.

Later, it could have been replaced by an EEPROM, too, but Commodore died first.

>Amiga had some downsides too

The main issue was the way pointers were passed around as if handing out candy, not providing IPC mechanisms not reliant in memory sharing. This hinders attempts to properly leverage memory protection in later models, as well as the ability to reasonably implement SMP later on.

In no small part, Commodore was to blame. The first Amiga released in 1985; MMU-capable m68k CPUs had been available for years. Yet they chose the plain 68000, which was not MMU-capable. A corner-cutting measure that would later bite them. E.g. move from SR/CCP discrepancy, vector base forced into low chipram and so on.
In terms of temperature it could get uncomfortable in the hallways and open seating areas if it was really hot outside. The shared office spaces could get stuffy and a bit oppressive if you had a lot of people or equipment in them. A couple Mac Pros running CI jobs could make a room very uncomfortable. Depending on where you were in the building you might get blinding sunlight in the afternoon.

One of the bigger problems with the building was the size, no pun intended. Despite its size space was always at a premium. Instead of nice private offices most people work in shitty bull pen "offices". Even normal offices have giant glass walls so you feel like you're in a menagerie and they're shared to boot. Of course management got single offices. If the stupid design didn't waste so much space trying to get "natural" light (supplemented by shitty low-flow electric lighting) everyone could have had real offices. The site itself is also gigantic meaning everything was a long walk away.

Getting a nice walk in is great but if you parked in the south parking structure it was a ten-ish minute walk to your car. Then another couple minutes to get to the street. It made running an errand in the middle of the day of eating off-site untenable. When it hot, smokey, or raining the walks to the parking structure really sucked.
How long ago is that past?

If we are talking about 3D-Now, that is long dead and buried. If we are talking about the latest AVX-whatever, not even Intel is consistent, with different processor families supporting different subsets and applying different clock policies.
The large and vocal constituency activated against the bill is good evidence that in fact it is not already accounted for under existing civil rights law.
There's litetally no such thing as a better hotel when the problem is the fundamental nature of hotels. For a hotel to be good, it has to be so different as to no longer be a hotel.

That occurred to me too, but I wonder if there's a way to caveat that the length descriptors refer to some threshold of player investment that expresses "You've experienced the basic gist of the game and a large majority of what the developer wanted to convey. You can move on to another game or continue to improve in this one, your pick."

As a player, I'd love such a classification. Increasingly I just don't have the time to slog through an entire Elden Ring or Starfield. Give me a way to easily find more Rocket Leagues and Cocoons.
I know, but there's certainly bits of US CPUs that are not publicly discoverable - and past pressure from US government agencies for backdoors into systems

Ideally we should be building systems that are open enough to be able to tell these things, certainly if we want to trust a system then all the boot code, from the first instruction should be public - whether it's built in China or the US

Same happened to my dog in a hotel patio. She wouldn’t trust that the door was open probably due to a past event (older rescue). After a few days she trusted me when I called her through and finally believed the door was open. Then of course she saw a bird went to run through and this time it was fucking shut.

Never voluntarily went through glass doors again. Can’t blame her. Rest in peace Lucy you were a gem of a dog.

(Dog people have that one dog they seem to click with and she was mine. I’ve been the guardian of many dogs. She was a gross old pug filled with cancer and heart worms and love.)
>They had a firewall between themselves and the manufacturers of products they review. They would buy cars themselves, then review them instead of getting a "perfect" car loaned and managed by the company that created it.

This is still very much the case for all the products they test, cars or otherwise. According to people I know who work there, they don't even order products to their office, lest a company sees the address and ships a superior product.
If it’s already covered, what’s the harm in letting the bill go into effect?
>What history?

The one where several trillions of deficit spending were fully financed by the Fed.

>Help me understand why a large holder of debt would want it to pay less?

Because the Fed is not a commercial organization and it's heavily influenced by politics. I will not be surprised, if in the following years financing of fiscal deficits by the Fed will be painted as a way "to save the economy" and to "fight unemployment".

>If we have a hard landing, which is the historically-suggested outcome, we get lower rates and a recession. Not inflation.

Yes, in the short term we will see deflation. But I predict that the hard lending will be painful enough for the Fed and the government to start stimulation of the economy fueled by bailouts and massive deficit spending. And this in turn will cause resurgence of inflation down the road.

>No, because new money isn't being created. Existing money is not being removed. That's different.

So taking a paper which costs $600 on the mark-to-market basis and giving in exchange $1000 is not a form of QE? Yes, those $1000 is technically a loan, but if you delay its repayment indefinitely, it becomes equivalent to creation of base money.

>How does the discount rate cause deposits to flee?

It's not the discount rate per se, but the Fed rate. If you can get 5.5% in a MMF (i.e. in RRP and short-term bills), why the hell would you keep your money in a bank's deposit for 1-2% together with risks associated with potential bank failure?

To attract deposits banks would have to provide competitive deposit rates, after that they would have to find someone trustworthy enough to give a loan at 10-15% rate. So the banks get squeezed from 3 sides:

- Either raise deposit rates or get money fleeing into MMFs.

- Not enough business is able to work with 10-15% loans in the face of worsening economic situation (especially after the recent near 0% environment).

- You still have to pay 4-5% on BTFP funds, which you had to take to offset fleeing deposits.
