Right which means you can use it to enjoy quality time. Not hurry up to do stuff as fast as possible and stressed because you're running out of time.
In an inflationary environment the transfer is from poor to rich. In a deflationary environment is from rich to poor.

Absolutely not. Between someone with near zero net worth and someone with $100 billion net worth, inflation will cost the former almost nothing and the latter billions. In a deflationary environment a billionaire gets rewarded for merely existing while everyone else is starving for cash.

nothing you’ve cited has any factual basis in reality other than that you have convinced yourself that it’s a possibility. it’s purely a mirror of your own personal preconceptions and fears, none of which have a supportable factual basis.

gotta love when someone is so deep into fanboyism that they go through life utterly paralyzed and victimized by the apple that only exists inside their head.

literally, unsarcastically, why do you do this to yourself? it’s a fearsome depth of parasocial attachment in a way that’s incredibly unhealthy and warping. Why do you choose to get this bent out of shape about what phone other peolle buy? it doesn’t matter.

I kind of agree, but there does need to be a baseline of trust, and that's rather difficult to give when they're operating both types of services at the same thing.

If it had been "I have worked on identity-selling services for 15 years, saw it wasn't a good thing, and now I'm trying to fix the problem" then okay, fair enough. This is something we can at least start with. but this doesn't seem to be that.

Hasn’t the percentage an average person spends on housing significantly increased in the past 50 (or 20) years?

Additionally I can’t follow your second thought: are you saying that the inflation rate is directly correlated with the rate of the value of innovation dispersement? E.g. a high inflation should eventually lead to a high dispersion of innovations/a more innovative culture?
Inflation _redistributes_ wealth from those with higher knowledge / ability to avoid it, to those with little ability/knowledge. Alternatively, it redistributes from people with fixed incomes, to workers; or from people with cash savings to debtors. There are many ways to look at it.

That is different than an explicit tax (the tax can be structured in a way to shrink everyone's purchasing power proportionally, and is harder to avoid).
> It's sensible to use gold or housing as a measure of value - they are both extremely mature markets with a relatively constant supply/demand ratio. It's no coincidence that after 50+ years they are still the same value relatively to each other.

Have you actually examined these numbers? From my quick check, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near true. In 1970, Gold was $35.96/oz in 1970 USD. The average house was $23,400 in 1970USD. So 650 oz of gold would get you a house. Today, 1 oz of gold is $2,063.76 in 2024 USD. An average house costs $395,100 or 191 oz of gold. Houses are significantly cheaper with respect to gold today than they were in 1970.

Thanks for the feedback. I work on Reflex and in a recent release, the team added a template and CLI for creating third-party components and publishing them to PyPI.

Since then, I've built a few authentication libraries that might be of interest:

https://github.com/masenf/reflex-local-auth
https://github.com/masenf/reflex-magic-link-auth
https://github.com/martinxu9/reflex-google-auth (documentation WiP)

The problem with having auth built in is that it's been hard to find a solution that actually works for a majority of use cases. That said, as these auth libraries get more popular and refined, they might be moved into the reflex-dev organization as officially maintained components, or even integrated with the core framework.
Often new things are met with an excess of skepticism but I agree here.

I'd take this more seriously if the format was documented at all, but so far it appears to be "this implementation relies on sqlite and zstd therefore it's better", without even a specification of the sql schema, let alone anything else.

The github repo contains precompiled binaries of zstd and sqlite. The sqlite builds appear to have thread support disabled so not only will it be single writer it'll be single reader too.

The schema is missing strictly typed tables, and the implementation appears to lack explicit collation handling for names and content.

The described benchmark appears to involve files with an average size of 16KB. I suspect it was executed on Windows on top of NTFS with an AV package running, which is a pathological case for single threaded use of the POSIXy IO APIs that undoubtedly most of the selected implementations use.

It's slightly odd that it appears to perform better when SQLite is being built with thread safety disabled (https://github.com/PackOrganization/Pack/blob/main/Libraries...) and yet the implementation is inserting in a thread group: https://github.com/PackOrganization/Pack/blob/main/Source/Dr.... I suspect the answer here is that because the implementation is using a thread group to read files and compress chunks, it's amortizing the slow cost of file opens in this benchmark using threading, but is heavily constrained by the sqlite locking - and the compression ratio will take a substantial hit in some cases as a result of the limited range of each compression operation. I suspect that zstd(1) with -T0 would outperform this for speed and compression ratio, and it's already installed on a lot of systems - even Windows 11 gained native support for .zst files recently.

The premise that we could do with something more portable than TAR and with less baggage is somewhat reasonable - we probably could do with a simple, safe format. There are a lot more key considerations to making such a format good, such as many you outline, such as choices around seeking, syncing, incremental updates, compression efficiency, parallelism, etc. There is no single set of trade-offs to cover all cases but it would be possible to make a file format that can be shared among them, while constraining the design somewhat for safety and ease of portability.
Not in the slightest. We have these things called “autostabilisers” that are temporally and spatially more precise than jiggling a single interest rate and indirectly hoping something moves in the right direction two years later

You are taxed on the "gains" from inflation.
Solving NIMBY-ism and housing speculation would do much more for the poor than taxing the rich would. After all, you can't eat dollars.

And more dollars competing for the same goods would just drive inflation higher (the rich do not directly compete with the poor in buying things, other than potentially crowding them out of real estate investments - that is a legitimate societal problem. But so is NIMBY-ism - driven largely by the fact that racial covenants and crime-targeting became illegal in the 1960s-1990s). Although we haven't really come up with great alternatives (other than drive prices up because income tends to correlate inversely with propensity for crime).

Singapore-like enforcing of laws and harsh sentences could do it (the other low-crime countries are much more ethnically homogenous), but the trade-off there is much less freedom than in the U.S. - so it probably wouldn't be palatable here.

To add: there's ongoing research to "reverse-engineer" the magnetic properties of certain meteorites that contain tetrataenite [0], which is as strong as a rare-earth magnet, but requires no rare-earths, but takes millions of years to make[1].
I studied techniques to speed this process up in the lab over a decade ago when this was new, and got to handle meteorites in the process.

A less "magnetically invasive" way to check if a material has magnetic material would be to put a compass nearby (as recommended by the site). Also, one could put a rare earth magnet on a string, watch it align to the earth's field away from the rock in question, then bring it carefully close to the meteorite seeing if it settles to a newer direction. This would still expose the meteorite to a magnet, but a very small field vs checking if something sticks.

To be fair to the GP, that part of Melbourne is very, very busy. But Melbourne is very expensive and you do have to compete with other renters. It’s a nightmare to find a good spot especially if you’re in a hurry.

I think another aspect is that to someone who lives in the area - like a real estate agent - it’s obvious that it would be noisy at night. Why else would you want live there? There are multiple bars in every laneway. Many of them are open until the wee hours.

So while I agree with the sentiment I think it’s difficult in practice.

Capital gains tax is one of the more disgusting taxes. Most capital gains are simply due to the devaluation of the unit of account. The banks and government work hand-in-hand. The more money the banks print (as interest-chargeable loans), the more the government makes you pay in capital gains taxes. A win-win situation for them.

One way the wealthy get around this is by taking on debt against their hard assets - generally real estate.
As the price of their assets go up, they take out larger and larger loans, each time paying off the old loan and pocketing the difference tax free. The money is devalued faster than the interest rate, so even after paying interest, they are left with free money (our money), tax-free.

ZIRP removes the artificial intervention in the market for money by unelected individuals with no accountability to the population for their actions.

Wrt the non-func camera... that is strange. As much as I like to rag on microsoft, I thought they solved this problem with their uvideo spec.

Japan is well known to be near-unique among world economies.

It's commonly said "There are four kinds of countries: developed countries, developing countries, Japan, and Argentina".

To point at some individual thing that happened a certain way in Japan and then try to justify some broad economic policy elsewhere in the world based on that won't work. Absent the other factors that make Japan's economy unique, the lessons there do not apply elsewhere.

One thing that's occurred to me recently is that demands for a 4 day working week seem entirely reasonable in the context that the labour force has, if not quite doubled, dramatically increased (due to more women participating) over the last few decades (and that time has been taken away from time that was previously available for the completion of domestic chores).

I just do not think your original comment is useful to other people. Your anecdotes don't reveal any new information other than how you asked Alexis something, you might have made the Ruby subreddit maybe, and Steve answered your questions about a startup. This is benign information unless someone is trying to learn about you personally. Half of your two paragraphs is talking about what you were doing; if you'd helped them make some Reddit feature or your discussions had revealed something interesting/unique about themselves or Reddit, we might have something. But as it stands, your comment is linked to the subject matter in a trivial manner, and your anecdotes are quite benign. It's a low value story.

In the absence of usefulness, I'm left to surmise the other possible motivations for you to be posting it. One of those being that you want to let others know that you personally interacted with these famous people, or you see yourself as important to the story. This would give you some gratification, so it's not entirely illogical to consider this as a motivating factor. Apart from the technical subject matter, the value of your original comment is akin to a Taylor Swift fan saying they met Taylor once, and they talked about the weather. It's a nice reflection on Taylor to have set the time aside, just like it's a nice reflection on Steve to have answered questions, but neither is groundbreaking enough to be interesting to strangers.

Not that my comments are particularly useful. But my comments aren't top-level discussion starters, they are direct replies to you in absence of a direct message feature.

> Any app or machine you listen to that produces a color of noise, like white, brown, pink, green, or otherwise, is based on an algorithm or a code.

Well, brief aside: Brown noise isn’t a ‘color’ of noise - or if it were, it would be red. It’s just named after Robert Brown, the motion guy.

> It’s not truly random—so you’ll get a little while of what seems like random noise, and then the sounds repeat.

This is a complete misunderstanding of how pareidolia works. You’re not picking up on pseudorandomness or actual repetitions that are really hidden in the noise - you’re making up patterns out of the randomness itself.

Same thing that a diffusion-based image generator does when it squints really hard to find the picture of an astronaut riding a horse hidden in a noise field, by amplifying the bits that look most astronauty or horsey.
Great article! Now what would happen if we took this idea, and turned it on it's head? Let's train a model to consistently give an answer first, and have it infer the steps it took to get there after.

... Is what I think the researchers at mistral AI are saying, because that's what they did. Every slightly complex question you ask their models goes somewhat like this:

>Input: Alice has 3 brothers. Each of her brothers has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Alice have?

>Output: Alice has 2 sisters.

>Here's the reasoning:

> We know that Alice has 3 brothers.

> Then we are told that each of her brothers has 2 sisters.

> Since Alice is one of the sisters to her brothers, there must be one more sister besides Alice for each brother to have 2 sisters.

> Therefore, Alice has 2 sisters in total.

Conversely, if you ask the model to think first, it gets it right immediately. I'm kinda baffled, they have not corrected this after their very first model. From mistral 7b to large, each one shows this same trained behavior to answer first, think second.

What was the middle class’ rate of home ownership then vs now?
Inflation is entirely a monetary phenomenon. It is the result of the government creating money to fund the deficit. There's around a 13 month lag between the creation of the money and the inflation.

It's the Law of Supply & Demand in action. More money representing the value of goods & services in the economy means each dollar is worth correspondingly less.

The 2% inflation being "good" for the economy is propaganda.

The propaganda around inflation is amazingly effective. How often do you hear from otherwise intelligent and education people that inflation is caused by:

1. speculators

2. profiteers

3. greedy business

4. greedy unions

5. Putin's price hike

6. supply chain shocks

7. oil companies

8. Arab cartels

9. savers

10. banks

11. wage-price spiral

12. cost-push

13. demand-pull

It's all disinformation, and rather easy to refute. For example, if oil price hikes cause inflation, why do we not have corresponding deflation when oil prices go down?
Wiz is a web framework at google that is abysmal to work with. It’s still living in 2010, it’s all Java backend based, the build times are unbearable, and the templating, Soy, is some Java engineer who loves curly braces too much.

It’s a lot of magic and all convoluted, it’s pathetic a company this large has this as their main offering, JSX is a positive move but it’s still lipstick on a pig as it’s not really JSX but just three Java templates under the hood for now. Signals aren’t the panacea they keep saying as they simply don’t scale in big apps since the data flow is all over the place.

Googlers use Angular at google because despite its garbage size and developer experience, believe it or not, the dev experience is miles better than Wiz. It’s also nowhere near the most popular internal usage framework idk why they say that. It’s Wiz by far.

And all this is because googlers just want React or Vue but are not allowed because they are “not sanctioned”. The same reason why you can’t SSR Angular at google, because Node isn’t even sanctioned. This is all just a Hail Mary by Angular because their NPM numbers are dropping and just got surpassed by Preact of all frameworks.

My job skills are languishing at google because I’m writing Wiz and Angular all day

Just early this week I spent some time (in fact, a bit too much time) on the "State of CSS 2023" [0], choosing the CSS framework for "my next hobby project". The usual thing: I don't know CSS well enough, but got bored by Bootstrap, and am still scared of Tailwind...

Long story short, I was hesitant about Bulma because I feared it will eventually succumb to the same fate the Materialize CSS did. But the framework looked so elegant and easy, I have decided to go with it. Was very happy with my decision so far.

I am now double happy seeing it well maintained and it having a fresh update. Thank you for this framework!
