Perhaps the real wood carving is also no longer interesting, because you already saw so many (fake ones) before.
You are mostly right.

Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winning economist, has said that most of the inflation we saw was markups - ie firms raising their prices due to inadequate amount of competition.

Here is an 50 min long talk on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BAsZIHp9HI&t=1217s

The idea that the expansion of money supply led to the price increases seems to be mostly a media narrative. Many people believe it however.

I think your comment about how and why this is a problem specifically for the Catholic church is valid.

But to cover a couple of verses quoted in point 2, just in case it is helpful for people trying to combat people wielding these to attack them:

Ezekiel 16:50 - It's not clear that the toevah in Ezekiel is a sexual sin. Just because it is used in that way in some places is to ignore all the places it isn't. The point of Ezekiel 16:49-50 is that the sin of Sodom was inhospitality. If it should be interpreted as a sexual sin, there is nothing to say it is specifically sodomy [1]. It can easily be argued the sexual sin is the attempted rape of angels.

Jude 1:7 - Similarly, there isn't anything here that identifies it as sodomy rather than rape.

Countering the others, though, I think _does_ require letting go of univocality and infallibility.

[1] Homosexuality isn't really a concept at this time. Instead of attraction, they focus on acts and power.
I like that, I must admit I also forgot about wind, but it makes sense.

I do feel like there's less wind here in the Netherlands than before. But maybe that's just my personal experience after moving to a larger city.
There is some config, where you set your feed to be your friends and similar.

I use Facebook only because the town groups are all there. It's the local forum board, and barely anything else for me at this point.
I'm interested in how the United Steelworkers thinks about the generally better track record of Japanese companies with labor relations vs. American management.

This makes it seem like it was purely an "American First" kind of sentiment, whereas I could imagine this being better for the workers themselves.

This then makes me wonder if the Steelworkers is more company union (ie their leaders are bought off / cushy with management with lots of perks) or if this was put to the vote by the general union membership, etc.

"e/acc is not an ideology. It is not a movement. It is simply an acknowledgement of truth."

I'm pretty sure that's what totalitarian groups always say? It's not an opinion that your race is less than ours, it's a FACT. These people are mad.
Is this really the case?

A top 1% ranked Dota player is about Divine 5, the only higher bracket being Immortal and its associated ranking individual. I think you're really stretching the idiom if you're implying Divine 5 players (most of whom have 3000+ hours) "barely understand this game." Obviously a team of immortals shouldn't ever lose to a team of divines, but I don't think it would have the appearance of a competition of total newbies vs seasoned pros.
The variant supported by most Silicon Valley types appears to be the right-wing one. Andreessen's "techno-optimist manifesto" cites Filippo Marinetti, founder of the Italian futurist and fascist movements, as one of its "patron saints". Also included: Nick Land, spiritual father of the "dark enlightenment" accelerationist philosophy known known as neoreaction.

This is not the same as those things at all. The poisoning of the data sets only works because the AI is scraping the internet for images and stealing the artist's works. They are mad because their art is being stolen and they didn't consent to it.

It's easy to call other people names when it's not your life's work at stake.
I think this is my favorite comment of the year. We've all become so inured to the idea, especially in startup land, that the purpose of building a business is just the exit (and hopefully we can get out soon enough with someone else "holding the bag").

As you point out, if Figma can build a growing, profitable business, there is no reason they can't IPO at some point. But still, this shows how even the purpose of an IPO these days is completely opposite from the original intention. I.e. the original intention was to get access to public market funds to grow a business. Now it's usually just a method of "exit" to let retail investors take the lion's share of the risk - one only need to look at 95%+ of the past few years' SPAC deals to see how much of a "pump and dump" the market has become.

That might be true, but once they're coherent are they still delusions? I call those plans.
No one is saying that AI can consent to a contractual agreement, however all the time we humans consent to a contractual agreement presented to us by some software tool on behalf of a company. That's what's happening here too.
Yes, that's how the story goes. Languages with specs are widely deployed despite being fragmented and bad, not because people find value in multiple implementations. Must be a coincidence that C, C++, Javascript and C# and Java all fall under this umbrella.
I imagine copyright plays a role.
Polarization comes about as a response to power players / media using wedge issues to divide voters into warring blocs and centrist policies making their lives worse.

Centrism isn't an antidote to a polarized country. Especially not when the middle ground is making people poorer.

A fundamental reshaping of the media so as to not serve congealed pockets of wealth might help but nobody much has any appetite for that. It gets shouted down as being anti freedom of speech or some other such nonsense.

>That said, the reality is that centrists are very likely going to lose, or arguably have already lost. As a whole, Americans are incapable of understanding, empathizing with, or respecting "the others"

They have started to realize that centrism is making their lives worse so they have been abandoning it for one of the two extremes.
> Broadcom & VMware merger took similarly long and was approved. The duration is completely unacceptable and poison to business

The number of such mergers, globally every year, is countable on two hands. They involve the wealth of nations (this one’s similar to Malta’s GDP [1][2]).

It would be unreasonable to permanently staff the regulatory force that would be required to quickly review such deals in any industry.

There are lots and lots of factors that can change the rate between government issued money and money available for consumers. Most of them wouldn't make the news even if the news cared about discussing anything in depth.

But the thing is, historically most governments kept those factors well regulated so that the government had a coarse control over that ratio. (A noisy but effective control.) But at the 2000's crisis, the US decided to loose their regulations so that there the ratio is completely defined by the market.

What that means is that no, it's not obvious that the dollar inflation is coming from the inflated money supply. But that's a problem by itself.
Maybe off-topic, but I was taken aback at actually seeing ads on this page. Long time ago that uBlock Origin did not block something for me.. The horror.
We’re building a Kafka-native, multi-protocol proxy called Zilla (https://github.com/aklivity/zilla)* that helps connect apps, clients, and services to Apache Kafka via stateless OpenAPI and AsyncAPIs.

We're excited to share that Zilla officially supports another protocol — MQTT! With this, MQTT clients can publish and subscribe to Kafka directly without running a dedicated MQTT broker and Kafka Connect. In fact, Zilla turns Kafka into a full-fledged MQTT broker, meaning it doesn’t just mediate between the MQTT and Kafka wire protocols but maintains MQTT client state across Kafka topics!

The latest Zilla feature highlights include:
- MQTT v5 and v3.1.1 Support: Zilla supports both major versions of the MQTT protocol, ensuring it works with legacy and modern IoT clients.
- MQTT-Kafka Proxying: Zilla maintains MQTT client state across Kafka topics, providing all of the features and guarantees of a dedicated MQTT broker, such as Keep-Alive, Last Will and Testament, and all three Quality of Service (QOS) agreements. MQTT over WebSocket is also supported, so you can use Zilla to deliver MQTT messages from Kafka down to a browser.
- Manage Millions of Clients: Zilla is stateless, scales out linearly and handles MQTT to Kafka connection offloading.

You can quickly try out MQTT-Kafka proxying with Zilla with the following https://docs.aklivity.io/zilla/latest/how-tos/mqtt/mqtt.kafk... (the guide includes a docker compose file for quick and easy setup). We also have a fun Taxi Hailing Demo that simulates an IoT mobility use case powered by Zilla and Kafka for a more end-to-end setup: https://github.com/aklivity/zilla-demos/tree/main/taxi

Looking forward to all feedback and questions!
As someone who rents and is hoping to buy a home eventually, I think both sides are somewhat right. No, I'm not in a position to buy, so I have to rent. However, I think that there's too many single-family homes that are owned simply to rent out right now. I'm okay with multi-family homes (apartments, townhomes, etc) being rented out more than I am with houses. Taxing additional single-family homes that aren't acquired through inheritance or similar means wouldn't affect apartment rentals and would still have the desired effect on single-family homes (which I think was the intent).
I wonder what happened prior to April 2022 that would explain a significant jump?
It's a fairly difficult book to get through if it's not a style you're used to. I loved it on the first read, but on the second read I realized there was much of the book I had understood so poorly that my brain just forgot about it. At times, Watts gets really confusing - this is true in all of his books. However, I invariably find that it's worth it to just move on from those sections and continue reading.

The slow introductions to weird ideas is definitely intentional; you're not intended to hold all the clues in your head and piece it together like a mystery.

This paper is the best protocol security research I've seen in a while. Thankfully the consequences aren't too big - everyone should update ssh (which will be a pain!) - but it likely doesn't need to happen at breakneck pace. This issue isn't quite as serious as prior issues that impacted TLS/SSL.

Two things stand out to me;

1. That the SSH protocol lacked a robust transcript hash all along, this seems like a staggering decision, and even though I'd read the RFCs, I'd never put this together. Turns out it's to allow for injection of messages designed to defeat traffic analysis? Not the right way to do it.

2. The SSH handshake had been formally verified ... and the proofs are still "true". But the researchers found non-obvious gaps between the environmental assumptions for the proofs and what is actually true in the real world. Formal verification is still the most comprehensive and exhaustive form of testing that we have, but gaps can really bite you. It is like relying Pythagoras' theorem for a triangle, but then it turns out that your triangles are on the surface of a sphere, which isn't a plane. The math itself is right, but the environment
was different all along.
I think that the people who are debating it are missing some things. It often happens that only when a second implementation is attempted, unspecified holes in the documentation are exposed and standards are tightened up. Any differences in the two compilers will either mean that there's a bug in the new implementation (most likely), a bug or unclear issue in the documentation, or a bug in the mature implementation (it happens).

And no, the official compiler isn't canonical by definition. If it were, it would mean it has no bugs, and if there's a crash or a wrong result that's what the language is supposed to do.
If you don't know you can get a Brooklyn Public Library membership online not being a citizen of NY. They have one of if not the largest Libby/etc libraries. You'd get a card then put your # into Overdrive/Libby and check out books.

https://www.bklynlibrary.org/use-the-library/borrow

edit: Well nevermind apparently they stopped doing it. I can't even renew my card.. boo.

"As of July 15, 2022, Brooklyn Public Library is no longer offering its fee-based out-of-state library card. Our priority remains serving Brooklynites and assuring that they can access the materials they need in a timely manner. BPL Library cards remain free for anyone who lives, works, pays property taxes or attends school in New York State. Existing out-of-state accounts will remain active until their expiration date and will not be renewable."

Does anyone know of another huge library with online/out-of-State cards?
Yes. You assume the app is a negative critique, and not an enthusiastic endorsement.
As a UK citizen living overseas, I would put problems like this down to more than just underfunding. One of these is the frequent challenge with "talkers" versus "doers" and the wrong people being promoted within the bureaucracy.

This is especially the case in government orgs and those close to them which are old and extremely bureaucratic. There are many good people in these organisations who should be paid more in many cases, but they are severely limited by the system.

I find it hard to see that this wasn't something expected by many in the know at multiple levels within the British Library. Now it's an even bigger mess that they are ill-equipped to respond to.
sounds like cope for the fact that there is not a good spec (a "Standard", perhaps?) tbh
Thank you! I missed the show HN on your project, but it looks fantastic (and I like its promotion through HN comments for long-ish form videos, doesn't feel spammy, is helpful and very clear to understand what it does).

Cost of living in the US seems low to me. I'm comparing to my travels in Europe and living in Canada. This is without taking into account that people earn more and pay less tax in the States.

> the longest lasting, biggest impact, widely deployed languages of all time

Can be true at the same time as:

c and c++ have made mistakes, and have had issues as a result of bad choices

The later should be learned from by any language in a place to not make those same mistakes. We call this technological progress, and its OK.
There is no way Russia lets off nukes in Ukraine or around this issue. They would have done so already if they were that stupid. It would be completely mutually assured destruction, assuming their nukes even work.

Not to mention Russian civilians are downwind from Ukraine anyways. Radiation fallout would poison the entire region.

Even the use of a "tactical" nuke or chemical weapons would be a red line that NATO would treat as an escalation that would end with the complete elimination of Russian defensive lines from the air and the end of Russian air supremacy in eastern Ukraine, and I'm sure Biden has communicated this very clearly to Putin behind the scenes.

Russia is treading a strategically thin line. Unless Trump gets back in the Whitehouse.

And funny to see you put "freedom of speech" in quotes, while you post in a completely public forum without sanction. Shoot your mouth off wrong in Russia and you'll end up in a jail cell. It sounds more like your problem is that you expect people to just ... agree with you? But the problem is you're wrong.

Behind Ukraine is a giant contiguous geographic area of allies with supplies and armaments superior to Russia's, and an economic & industrial capacity many multiples of it. What is required, is will from leadership and a population that doesn't fall for Russian propaganda, like you have.
> Rust should learn from the mistakes of C++

They are. You quoted them doing it, the care taken not to become a superset. The problem with C/C++ stemmed from compiler vendors competing with each other to be "better" than their peers.

Multiple front ends of an implementation of a language usually shakes out a bunch of bugs and misimplementations. That's the primary benefit of having multiple front ends IMO.
I like to browse the "conspiracy" side of TikTok - not because I believe them, but because I think it's interesting to watch them form, rise in popularity, and be replaced by the next wave of strange ideas.

In the past month or so I've noticed an increasing number of videos that use obviously AI-generated images as "proof" for everything from a flat earth to Tartaria and the "mud flood".

All of the videos are getting comments that call this out... but they're never anywhere near the top. Of course, the other comments could well be AI-generated as well - but I don't have enough faith in humanity to believe that's the likely.
Then they will be outproduced. I, a graphic design noob, managed to create a bunch of social media posts for an upcoming project that included a completely custom 3D character in precisely the poses I wanted, all within an hour. Without gen AI, I would have likely spent hours digging through stock photos, modifying lighting and colors, and still not achieved what I wanted to.

Not using the latest and greatest tools in your profession isn't really a flex.
If they wanted you to learn something, they would say somewhere what those colors actually mean or what the graphs measure.
an easy response is "Our government no longer believes steel is critical to our national security"

Cant find mention of US steel being sold, perhaps this?

I have an external nvme with many iso's running ventoy and it's become an absolute staple. I even engraved 'ventoy' on it with a hand engraver so there's never any doubt.

Maybe, but why would a content farm care about copyright? Does Facebook have a photo-equivalent of YouTube's Content ID?
Yes, on an ongoing basis. It's why (for example) there are now non-Disney adaptations of Winnie the Pooh, but none of them have him in a red shirt, which is a detail added later by Disney.
You can run many of the models directly through CivitAI. You get lower quality images, but you can upscale them through an upscaler.

Just go to any model and click "Create". You can even use examples from the model to prefill the prompt.

Dropping prices below cost to wipe out competitors is predatory pricing which is prohibited under the antitrust laws. It's not always easy to prosecute, but it against the law nevertheless.
So some are more equal then others?
I completely agree and think it's nonsense.

For a business like Adobe, yes. They’ll probably want a verification call. Plenty of funds, however, handle similarly-sized transactions with completely electronic verifications.
I assume it could be made more responsive by using a streaming text-to-speech synthesis like ElevenLabs Cheetah. This approach was taken by the RoboDad recently discussed on HN. Btw, is there a streaming text-to-speech tool that supports languages other than english?
