Electronics and factory farm tomatoes are cheap, and near nobody lacks food or a phone.

Good teachers, black caviar, decent real estate away from poor people (lol) are inherently scarce. As for social economics enquiries, they always seem to require people to give up fruits of their labour for no compensation. As much as I like free stuff, I very much find this undersirable.

You call this hate filled divisive mutual nazi-calling "life"? Neutral zones disappearing is exactly what's causing society to tear itself apart.

This kind of lawmaking seems obvious insane to logical programmer types, but it happens regularly in government. They don't have to implement anything in code, right?

Another example is anti-money laundering laws. They drew a cutline at $10k cash per deposit, so of course criminals started depositing $9,999 at a time. The legislative answer was to say that avoiding the $10k limit is a new crime called "structuring". So what's the actual limit then? There isn't one, you just have to not seem too suspicious. Attempting to follow the law whilst also using a lot of cash is itself a crime.

The other fun one is the suspicious activity reports banks are required to file if a customer does something, er, suspicious. What that means isn't defined anywhere. But eventually the regulators advised that knowing SARs exist is itself suspicious, so merely asking if the bank has filed a SAR on you can trigger the filing of a SAR on you.
I think one thing to keep in mind is that coming up with these differential equations is an art. Classically it's about balancing simplicity (for human understanding) and being able to recapitulate some of the dynamics of the system.

Receptor dynamics is one subsystem that has been studied well theoretically. We know increasing number of binding sites can generate for example "cooperativity" and bistability dynamics.

Here's a review that discusses this further: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Yeah, which sounds like a fair guess, but the only way to know for sure is for it to be tested in courts, otherwise we're just guessing :) And as we probably all know, having large pockets for lawyers and lobbyists, makes a lot of what we think isn't possible, possible.

It's really not as crystal clear as you make it.
At one high end hotel I wanted to simply connect the room's TV to my laptop over HDMI. Unfortunately no HDMI socket, confirmed at the reception and with their technician... "just share the screen over chromecast, it's so cool you only have to install an app". Is Google lobbying even at the hotels?! Sounds innocent but the decision "our hotel will have chromecast instead of HDMI" looks like... there were some incentives.

> Attempting to follow the law whilst also using a lot of cash is itself a crime.

The intended way to follow the law is to deposit large sums of cash and report them, which is not a crime.
almost every logitech product I've bought in the last 6 years has failed early and while their warranty is honored, having to go through it for basically every item is very frustrating compared to just not having the issues with mouse and keyboard switches.

I think their products are priced on the assumption they have to send you a replacement because the failure rates are so high.

Still looking for good replacements for everything.

>Electronics and factory farm tomatoes are cheap, and near nobody lacks food or a phone.

The price of tomatoes has inflated at a rate of about 3.55% per year, up a total of 1,049% since 1953. In that same period, minimum wage rose from $0.75 to $7.25. In 1953, an hour's work would have bought you one tomato with a bit left over, today an hour's work leaves you short. Tomatoes have not become cheaper.

I just saw a couple of mobile homes asking half a million (although those inland appear to be going for only a few hundred thousand), so it may be significantly cheaper.

I wonder if they did any SAR level testing on those phones. I mean I’m sure that cell phone has to use a lot of power to transmit to a satellite and I know from FCC regulations you can’t be closer than 11 inches from a stink dish when it’s in operation. I know the two are not the same just to comparison. Of power.

This is why firing without cause should never be accepted - the result is straight out of 1984 where people get scared about expressing their thoughts , as they can lose their jobs and health insurance for any reason.

It's much safer to lay low and don't say anything too provokative, but that's a danger to a healthy democracy.
Unfortunately Bitcoin mainline no longer believes that BTC should be a peer to peer electronic cash system, and the result is crippling fees and a pathetic transaction rate.

The issue is range, as you hint at with your last point. Because of how hydrodynamics works, big ships/subs are more efficient than small ones, and so it's relatively hard to make a small sub with enough range to be useful (or even enough thrust to reliably make progress in the open ocean).
Ignorance and no standards
It could also be that the founds are somehow related to illegal activities and this is just a way to get rid of them. Remember how hard it was for the Bitfinex hackers to launder their Bitcoins.

This is pretty much a proof of burn, it proves that X person has no longer access to these coins.
For people with say 10 billion dollars, losing a million is losing 1 / 10 000 of their wealth. It’s as if you have 10 000 dollars in savings and lose 1 dollar in the couch cushions.

Plus that wealth is generating more wealth. Logically, a multi-billionaire wouldn’t care.
Every article about this deal mentions that Microsoft will continue to make the Surface branded products. Including mice.
Yes H100s are very expensive (think ~$40k per unit), and very hard to obtain. For this reason they're basically all sent to cloud operators who can sign large bulk deals up front and then rent them out. At that point rubber really hits the road because it's where the hardware is basically auctioned off on an hour by hour basis, so you can easily pay $40k per month for access to the cards because there's so much money flooding into AI right now.

This is why OpenAI seem to have burned through 10s of billions of dollars of Azure compute credits in, like, a few years.

Yes CUDA is basically a giant developer platform made by NVIDIA for their cards. It's libraries, tools, languages, tutorials, and other ecosystem stuff like the fact that lots of people use it. Intel and AMD might or might not need their own answer to it. They need at least parts of an answer but CUDA is a lot more than AI, so if that's all you care about, you can skip parts of it.

Now AMD has been trying to develop a CUDA competitor for a long time but it's clear either their heart isn't in it, or they just really struggle to attract skilled dev plaform people. ROCm seems to suck so hard people would rather pay NVIDIA's monopoly pricing than deal with it, which is impressively bad.

Of course the reason NVIDIA is in this position is that they supported all kinds of R&D with their CUDA effort, and it turned out to be AI that hit big. If you just implements the bits of CUDA that seem most useful you'll always be behind.

Trailer parks, aka campgrounds are crazy expensive compared to "free", and some people are just living in cars.

Trailer parks are also rare, in the downtown of large cities. Also, don't confuse trailer parks with mobile home parks. RVs aren't allowed in mobile home parks.
What's especially weird is the number of people here who are fiercely defensive of the arrangement, with the only rationale being it's the status quo. See also car-centric urban design.
The "reasonable person" from law is not an average or typical person. It's an idealized person who doesn't change very much over time because the concept is rooted in common law. The average or typical person can change dramatically as social norms and movements go, but common law moves very slowly by accumulation of precedent.

Modules is one of reasons why Pascal is fast to compile and I wish it was more popular than it was.
Bits and pieces. A bedtime tracking app for my kid, a microblog, a TikTok clone, a budget app, a text-to-speech app with translation functionality…

Development experience was outstanding. I primarily use SvelteKit and integrate PocketBase for SSR, so I use the SDK almost exclusively and it’s fantastic. Everything just works exactly the way you would expect.

I can’t imagine anything easier to implement, and as yet, I haven’t found any major gaps in what I can do with it, normally with OOB functionality.

Development velocity is very high and the developer is super responsive on GitHub. The documentation is very good and kept up to date pretty well.

My only real concern is that the project has a pretty poor bus factor, otherwise, I’m very impressed.
Inevitably when you see people talking about "whales" they end up linking to exchange wallets (which naturally experience activity that both leads and lags trade).

And they're also talking about parties controlling 1000 BTC levels... which, while an astounding amount of money, are still small compared to the markets.

I can't say it's impossible, but I'd rate most of the other speculation above it.

Then again, nothing stops someone from trying something that won't work...
Unfort we have somewhat replaced "password" with "phone access" + pass code for majority of cases since 2FA is really just "phone (password manager) or password" + "phone (sms or one time token app)".
Their language of the year award seems like it's solely based on increase in popularity this year (wouldn't that be biased against more popular languages?).

> For the first time in the history of the TIOBE index, C# has won the programming language of the year award. Congratulations! C# has been a top 10 player for more than 2 decades and now that it is catching up with the big 4 languages, it won the well-deserved award by being the language with the biggest uptick in one year (+1.43%). Runners up are Scratch (+0.83%) and Fortran (+0.64%).

Still, well deserved. C# has been steadily innovating for a long time while Python, Go and Java move relatively slowly. In terms of syntax innovation only JavaScript has been at a similar pace it seems.

It’s sort of the same in Japan, though I can get the same health insurance without a job, every time you switch jobs (or from job to jobless, or vice versa) you need to go to city hall to get a new card.

On the other hand, as long as you have that card everything is really cheap, which is definitely not true in the US.
It’s certainly believable that there actually was a real girl who was doing that at his work, but we should also probably stop taking comedic storytelling as truth without question. See: recent Hassan Minhaj controversy, etc.

I don't know if this counts, but I wrote a parser for "the ship's computer" in my game, "Space Nerds in Space". It's described here: https://scaryreasoner.wordpress.com/2016/05/14/speech-recogn...

(and that reminds me, there's Google's Parsey McParseface: https://blog.research.google/2016/05/announcing-syntaxnet-wo... though I'm not sure how practical it would be to use that in an interactive fiction context.)

I also wrote some toy "interactive fiction" things (with less sophisticated parsers) in python and Lua as a way to gain familiarity with those languages, not that they are very interesting in and of themselves, though they demonstrate a fairly standard technique behind these kinds of games in a compact way.

How would this help that hypothetical person in any way? If the coins are stolen, then the victim will want the money back. They won't care if the "same" coins are given back or not. Money is fungible. If someone steals a $10 bill from you and burns it, are you going to forsake your claim to $10? I bet you'd even be happy to get two $5 bills back rather than nothing.
Are you a developer? Because it seems to be geared towards developers. It's something like a all-in-one backend that you can use as a starting point and extend if needed.

Personally, I think the website is clear and concise. Doesn't even have any marketing filler which is a huge plus in my corner.
Sean is part of the old guard of developers which (similar to Rob Pike) eschews modern conveniences like syntax highlighting because they find it distracting (I'm paraphrasing here). And I think it's a bit obnoxious to amuse yourself at the expense of the grandfathers of computing just because they enjoy doing things in a slightly archaic way.
Source control is really good at compressing text files as they evolve over time, but isn’t optimized to handle binary assets. Since a single-line patch changes the entire zip archive, you’d risk growing the size of the repository based on the number of patches.

It truly is impressive that we went from Martin Luther King to a world where a term like "person of color" is not racist.

According to https://direct.starlink.com/ they are unmodified phones. I guess that the battery drain will be huge. I don't know how low those satellites will fly but the satellite to phone distance should be in the hundreds of km, not single digit km at most like we usually do.

I suspect the scale was necessary because the mechanism only works as a loop, and only allows limited curvature unless you make it a perfect circle, in which case it's just a rotating platform.
It seems to be Golang based from what I can tell? And I'm guessing it either exposes a HTTP or WebSocket API, both which are usable from any language.
No, because health insurance has always been available to individuals (and families). We've never needed to go through our employers to get it. But back before WWII health insurance was pretty much not used at all; health care was so cheap that it cost less than food or clothes. During WWII Congress passed laws that fixed the price of goods, services, and wages. This started to lead to shortages. Combined with the draft, many industries were competing over fewer and fewer employees, but legally they could not raise wages. Instead they started offering perks such as tips from the customers or “free” health insurance. Even companies that don’t offer free insurance usually split the cost with their employees, and often they do get a slightly lower rate because all their employees are shopping from the same company. And it’s not like you can raise your salary by negotiating out of the insurance; the employer likely pays the same amount to the insurance company regardless. The insurance lowers our salaries no matter what we do; might as well take it.

Gradually these perks started to become as important of a consideration as the salary itself. Unfortunately health insurance is easily misused. We started relying on it to pay for all health care, rather than to actually mitigate the risk of a sudden medical bill. The result has been a rapid and continual increase in the price of health care over the last 70–80 years caused directly by the fact that nobody pays for the services they use, but instead pays into insurance plans that then pay for the care.

In fact, I think this guy overstated the risk to his health. If you get fired you don’t actually lose your insurance. You sign up for continuation of coverage from COBRA, taking over payments for the insurance from your employer, and then purchase an individual or family insurance plan of your own before COBRA runs out. Or get hired somewhere else and sign on to one of their insurance plans. Either way you’ve lost nothing, at least in terms of health care.
Not when you're handling ITAR materials you don't
Everything I said is inescapable fact. A victim mentality would be "I can't do anything about it". I have the opposite mindset, so you're entirely wrong to suggest this. An accurate account of history is not victim mentality, it's truth.
If you burn currency it's not wasted, it deflates the remaining currency in proportion, so in effect it's gifting to other holders. Assuming it's never used after this.
The standard metric to compare to would probably be the Human Development Index[1]. Which paints roughly, but not quite, the same picture as GDP.

But regardless of which development metric you choose, I'm sure you agree that the (inverse) correlation between development and diversity is obvious. Calculating the Spearman coefficient for the two datasets would be an interesting exercise, which I regret I don't have time for at the moment.

This leaves four possibilities:

1. High development reduces diversity (very unlikely).

2. High diversity impairs development.

3. High diversity and low development have a common underlying cause.

4. The correlation is coincidental.

Even in Africa, the correlation is apparent. The countries bordering the Mediterranean all have low diversity and high development, compared to almost all other African countries.
