"Greedflation" is a new word to describe a by-product of supply and demand as old as capitalism itself. Companies raise prices when they can, and companies hate to lower profit and will never do so unless literally forced. They are money-hungry entities who will do anything for a profit, but they've been that way since the very idea of "companies" was in its infancy. And today's companies have to make a certain amount of profit relative to their competitors, or they'll get pushed out and go bankrupt.

There are 2 solutions to this problem: government interference and competition. IMO competition is what's desperately needed, and regulation/govt-funding to help the little guys with better ideas and lower profit margins compete with the big ones. When people stop buying from Walmart because their profit margins are too high, Walmart gets less total profit, and they can either lower their prices and/or sell better products, or suffer and potentially go out of business. This is how capitalism is taught in grade school, this is how it's supposed to work and actually benefit the common man, and the factors which make it not work are what we need to regulate and fund away.

* There's also private funding and educating the general population to choose smaller companies over lower prices. And most companies don't actually do everything they can to 100% maximize profit. However, I don't think you can rely on these factors, because a lot of people aren't really aware or motivated, and a lot of people don't choose for others' or long-term benefits over their own short-term ones.
Free speech is truly under attack. I am glad Elon has a platform that allows controversial ideas to be heard. Every other platform is in lockstep with the woke and politically correct crowd. You can't have science without truly dissenting opinions. You can't have a democracy without free speech and ideas that are very unpopular. I hope people continue using Twitter just to support free speech.
Try asking it to write 5 sentences that end in the word "apple". It still gets 0/5

Its amazing how you can say as much for almost every product they have. Especially as they get more ambitious. Google Fiber. Sidewalk Toronto. The list goes on. Why believe anything they pitch to you when they've proven time and time again that they aren't likely to deliver as promised, or even at all?
But nobody said they wouldn't use it. You said that. You came up with this idea and then demanded other people defend it.

I don't know why "critiquing the tool" is being equated to "refusing to use the tool."

I don't like calling something a strawman, because I think it's an overused argument, but...I mean...
When your codebase hasn't been built with 64 bit in mind there can be a fair bit of work involved. An important thing to remember is that valve games are multiplayer, so you'll need to go over everything with a fine comb even if it compiles.
Because we all know corporations were keeping prices and profits low before COVID because it's good for PR. After COVID they said screw the PR let's be greedy now.

I've had great success running Rails apps with Google Run. If you can live with the initial request sometimes taking 1-2s it's great. All my usage is within the free tier and once it's set up with Google Build, it's fire and forget
I’ve been thinking about that too. I guess I want the equivalent of a hard scifi that goes into Elvish biology, culture, economics. The population has been declining for millennia, so a huge construction industry recession, presumably overall deflation, shrinking GDP. They don’t age and they have very few children, so presumably no school system, no retirement homes. It’s not clear if Elves get sick, so medicine probably entirely a military function. I’m pretty sure Elves heal, perhaps even regrow limbs, otherwise just random accidents and war wounds would leave a lot of crippled, blind Elves, but Tolkien seems to they all look youthful, clear skin, no obvious wounds.

Technology is static, perhaps even going backwards since the First Age, so no startups, no banking. Do Elves have money?

So many questions

You misunderstood me slightly. It is not the only supplier. It is just the vastly dominant brand on the shelves.

We have a few supermarket brands that have taken over every town and village local store.

As space is constrained in those stores (long story to do with Sunday trading laws), they stock one, two or three brand of lots of different items. Like there's one choice of poppadoms. Or one brand of english mustard. And one brand of Dijon mustard. Etc.

So the stores have a wide selection of goods, but a shallow selection of each individual good.

In the case of baked beans, you will always have Heinz. You might have one other choice, depending on the supermarket brand. Often the other choice is cheap, and nowhere near as tasty.

Bigger stores have more choice.

One noticeable change is that co-op didn't used to bother stocking their own brand ketchup in smaller stores. It sold so poorly Vs Heinz it wasn't worth the shelf space. That has changed, and I'm sure other super markets are making similar changes. For context Heinz has decided on a ridiculous £4.50 a bottle, while the Co-op own brand is £1.90. Heinz used to be about £2.50-£2.90ish I think before the greedflation.
Could have just been that was the first one they bought, and they wanted to keep using similar models from the shuttle era until now.

Like, the cameras used during the Apollo program were hasselblads because that's what one of the astronauts found in a nearby camera shop and it was then modified. I think it was after apollo 8 that the company even learned their cameras were being used for this, and offered assistance.
Regarding the narrative about Sama's behaviour during this fiasco, I believe the perception of him acting strategically is mistaken. I think he was just highly loved by the employees and that alone is what facilitated his return.
It really is better. The key difference to understand is that in ext4 any form of metadata corruption which can be automatically fixed requires you to take the filesystem off–line (to unmount it), and then run fsck. Meanwhile with zfs, any form of metadata corruption which can automatically be fixed is simply fixed right on the spot, transparently.

In truth fsck is a wart, a kludge, a bag on the file system design.
When inflation happens and then goes back down, prices remain high unless DEFLATION happens... this "study" and article are just proclaiming a specific anti-business worldview without actually looking at the true cause... most governments printed trillions of dollars of their currency during the pandemic and the currencies are forever worth less than they once were.
> Please don't watch me while I eat

If it makes you feel any better, and maybe I'm only speaking for myself, but when I people watch, I'm barely paying attention, and I'm never really watching people actually eating. It's the activities around the eating, mostly just walking and talking (this is why I really like European sidewalk cafes, you get an endless river of people passing by to watch). I'm not taking detailed notes on anything, and definitely not bite sizes, how many times you chew, how messy you are etc. That's all too close for my own comfort. Couldn't care less about that stuff. Probably the most info I retain is new ideas on how to dress myself, outside of exceptional or weird situations that might arise in public. Which, OK, in the context of this thread, I might notice the people carrying two or more heaping mountains of food to their table at a time.
I built a mental health tracker and a physical health tracker, that sit in my living room and use LEDs to display a prediction of how good my health is.

The mental health tracker keeps track of my sleep, and how long it takes me to do various things in the morning. The physical tracker keeps track of how much walking I'm doing and how often I'm doing certain exercises.

They have slightly different uses; with mental health I only really notice whether I'm feeling 'okay' or 'extremely bad', so seeing a far more granular estimate is useful. The physical health is more a reminder that it's time to do certain exercises to keep the back pain at bay for a bit longer.
Epstein's operation was almost certainly in the business of collecting and selling compromising information on US business and political leaders. So, in addition to the underage being exploited sexually, it's probably a big national security problem.
I dropped my iphone 14 in the ocean. It was in there 2 days until it washed up onshore. A fisherman picked it up and it was still on and it had service. It was in lost mode so he was able to call my emergency contact and I got it back. Aside from minor scratches on the screen it has no damage and works perfectly. That experience taught me that Apple takes reliability extremely seriously, even if they dont care about repairability. I dont know if they could have made a phone this bulletproof while also making it repairable. I do believe it is a good thing for people to be able to repair stuff they own, but there is a tradeoff.
interesting take, does it scale well in your opinion? what should i take into account when considering a db (in terms of scaling)?
FYI it's generally accepted that F stands for Fine if you don’t want to swear :)

Same with TFA. The Fine Article.
I'm a very happy Tailscale user and am impressed by its quality and reliability... But why is the team constantly put on the highest of pedestals here on HN? They seem like one of many groups of competent people making good software to me. Perhaps the answer is that they're so good that I vastly underestimate the complexity of the problem Ts solves?
>This is why I never use fast charging, avoid wired charging in general

Wireless charging isn't a silver bullet either. It generates tons of waste heat, which is also bad for batteries. I'm also not sure why you're so against wired charging, especially since you have to go out of your way and pay a premium for fast charge capable chargers. If you buy a bog standard 5W/10W charger, you're not fast charging. If you plug your phone into your computer, you're likely getting slow charging (0.5A to 1A).

Sounds like a category error, confusing the sadism of extracting oversized value from restaurateur with the deliciousness of food.

At least, I've never had a hankering for a water and a half pound of tiny slivers of sashimi.

The prank of taking the same amount of sushi and leaving it in a neat stack would be closer to enlightenment.
No. The candidate is not a large company with employees.
> People can be good at critical aspects of their job while lacking the maturity to understand large group dynamics.

I agree with this as a general principle, but in this specific case, the 'understanding group dynamics' part is the 'critical aspect of the job' part. By the same token, you don't just promote the best engineer to CEO if he's bad at managing, because the managing is the critical part of the job.
What's the problem with the iOS app? I use it all the time, don't have any issues.
There are unique qualites inherent to the SID itself that makes it impossible without a circuit-level simulation that also models signal leakage and crosstalk because that's why it sounds like it does. Gigs of research, they claim, what's that even mean?

No sir I'll stick with my MSSIAH.
Nah its flat fee for all the models, no revenue share.

Amazon Prime but for generative AI, large companies have signed up for huge deals already and everyone has been happy with pricing, its designed to be simple base then we upsell other services but focus on research.

This lets us grow with the market and will do models of every modality for every country, including new BERTs and more.

We fund huge amounts of OSS, gave over 10m A100 hours in the last year and almost our collaborations are open.

For the stable series we are making it simple and scalable so we don't need to work against the people using the models.
Really neat, thank you for posting!

How did you end up handling the case where posts are longer than the context window for the embedding API?
> Do you think lawyers who leverage ChatGPT will take the made up cases and present them to a judge without doing some additional research?

Oh dear.
Know it well from video game days, but its being set up for huge predictability / stability given we have simple company control.

The base membership is even separate from other services, designed to support open model development.
Thanks for this, will give it a try :)
My engineer friend who work at Google would strongly disagree with this assertion. I keep hearing about all sorts of hijinks initiated by senior PMs and managers trying to build their fiefdoms.

I (as noted in another comment: Dove's husband and the father of the child in question) homeschool him. My wife and I both have graduate math-related degrees. We let him pretty much run wild with independent math research, while also making a point to probe for weaknesses -- last year I gave him the tests from some MIT Opencourseware calculus courses and about twice per year-of-calculus we ran into something he hadn't learned and spent a couple days working it up. On the future agenda is Gilbert Strang's linear algebra course, since there are full lectures online and everything.

What we did in past years was, largely, giving him unfettered access to math and math-related channels on youtube. Vi Hart, Numberphile, 3blue1brown, stuff like that. When he showed interest in something specific, we'd get him appropriate materials. Since his elementary school was a public montessori school, his teachers encouraged us to send him with appropriate math workbooks for his capability level.
Yes Red Hat is significant in its niche of enterprise server operating systems, but it's not in the same league as Microsoft as a company overall. Red Hat would typically be deployed on AWS or Azure where they rake in all the money.

While Microsoft makes $73B profit, IBM makes $2B profit.
Nah, different one. I prefer yours :)
If I had to guess I would say legal is being very conservative.
I'm not so sure it's just a US thing. I've been to plenty of places in EU that are very interested in feeding you and getting you out the door for the next people to come in. Some high end, in-demand places will even tell you up front what the time limit is because with their limited space, they need to be able to accommodate the next reservation.

And often, it just comes down to overcorrection, where the server is afraid of getting bad tips (so yes, that is US specific, and maybe related to throughput, though not exclusively), or incompetency, where they haven't learned how to read the table and predict their needs.
I don't understand the point of Company hosting forums that aren't staffed by Company. Well I do. It doesn't help users at all. The only feature is Company's censorship. It's a hostile social hack on the user base who should be using a different forum host.
Big companies are where innovation goes to die.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro. The back is made out of glass which is easily breakable. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why, because behind the glass is an opaque piece of aluminum. The glass broke on the third day I had the phone when I tossed it from knee height on to a folded up sweatshirt that was sitting on a rug on a tile floor.

Oh, actually, I guess I do know why an opaque part of a thousand dollar phone is made out of incredibly fragile glass, but I’ve made it two years without cutting myself too terribly badly and I’m not planning on replacing it while it still works.

(Obviously, the front glass is broken too but that’s utterly unremarkable for an apple product).
Yes: I think Signal is drastically better for reporting security vulnerabilities than email. I think if you're actually worried about operational security for accepting vulnerability reports, using email is practically malpractice. The fact is, most security teams, even the very large ones, are not especially concerned about operational security for inbound vulnerability reports.
In my fever dream version of reality the success of something like "For All Mankind" would present an opportunity to fund searching for this footage.
Have you tested that theory?
I won't be able to pay in most parking places. There's no government office to show up at for that. I also don't think I can manage my business information in any offline way - the most manual form of that requires (electronically) signed forms to be sent via e-mail. So while I agree, some things you probably can do without, others in a 2023 Northern European society you really can't. If I wanted to live life with a dumbphone nowadays, I'd have to move to a less advanced part of the world.
Wow, did you drop it nearby, as in, on the beach? I always imagined that a denser object like that would stay put and even perhaps nudged outward by the ocean motion.
The ASCII candle is really charming, especially when lit. Looking forward to exploring this further. Great work!
It's reassuring that the biggest tech company doesn't automatically make the best tech. If it were guaranteed that Google's resources would automatically trump any startup in the AI field, then it would likely predict a guaranteed dominance of incumbents and consolidation of power in the AI space.
I meant more morally than de facto. As in the buyer of that service, I expect support (and will move to O365 if it is unavailable.) Though in a perfect world there would be more than 2 choices...

To be honest, I have gotten pretty good support from GSuite, though it was fixing Google's own incompetence. It turns out that if you bought GSuite when prompted while registering your business' domain w/ Google Domains, that was a special GSuite locked out of certain features. Because reasons. It took contacting support to fix this. In a very Googley way, it was clear that many companies had hit this problem, and they'd built tools to fix it. They of course didn't stop the problem, but they did have a well-orchestrated process to fix it...
Discoverable keyservers are novel I think.

The problem with existing keyservers is that there are several of them and you never know which one someone's public key might be living in. There may even be multiple potential keys for a single email address across the different servers. They are effectively useless for email encryption in their current form. It's a very rare email client that will even query the most popular ones looking for someone's key. In fact I don't know of a single email client that does.
Is that supposed to prove anything? Now google consumer spending
I would like you to name a cryptography engineer of any note that advocates for the underlying technical details of the X.509 CA system. For that matter, I'd be interested in whether you could name one of any note that works for any CA, LetsEncrypt possibly excluded.
Kelloggs, General Mills, and Nestle hired lawyers that appealed to populism to convince jurors that egg producers price fixed with a probability of at least 51%. That's hardly proof of price fixing.
Sure, people have been talking about 48 volts for the past 30 years. Somehow most automakers didn't actually manage to do it though.

Sandy Munro just did an interview with Musk, who said they hadn't done anything revolutionary, they just built the car up to general 21st century standards.
This strikes me as a very odd take. All the things that seem to "hasty" and non-strategic to you look to me like deft PR moves that each had exactly their intended effect.
For very low current wires, I've seen non-metalic (nylon?) strands woven in with the copper for mechanical strength.

It is weird, it's off putting, and it does come off as arrogant. Someone has convinced someone else that these lack of interactions is saving them something or from something. I think it's costs them but I have no data, so it's pure speculation. I know I wouldn't consider them for any serious service except maybe email at this point.
You mean it was just a happy little accident for companies that increasing prices by a lot now instead of gradually makes them a bunch of free money?
I would suggest also a read of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_protection_for_ficti...

> Copyright protection is available to the creators of a range of works including literary, musical, dramatic and artistic works. Recognition of fictional characters as works eligible for copyright protection has come about with the understanding that characters can be separated from the original works they were embodied in and acquire a new life by featuring in subsequent works.

Creating a work using Harry Potter or Darth Vader or Tarzan ("As of 2023, the first ten books, through Tarzan and the Ant Men, are in the public domain worldwide. The later works are still under copyright in the United States.") is a copyright infringement.
