Remade an old site using bulma around 2020 (https://globaladvancedmedia.com/ ) - it had been a wysiwyg publish via old netobjects fusion, with wordpress for a couple of sections.

Really enjoyed how easy it was to understand and build with. Around that time I also enjoyed skeleton and a couple others.

There were several I tried that just did not sink in for me, one by yahoo I think and then I tried tailwind a couple of times.

In my quest for quick, super lightweight / fast load / no bloat builds.. bulma would be my go-to if I needed to use a framework for speed with quick to publish..

lately I have also been just building some with straight grid and css line by line, mainly for the practice and in the quest of using the absolute lightest / fastest to load / core web vitals kind of quest.
I'm definitely in favor of breaking up the dockworkers/longshormans unions. I don't see why we should let a small group of people hold the whole economy hostage just to enrich themselves.
Or put another way, punishes saving.

Yes, savings should have a cost and/or risk associated with them. Furthermore, it’s insane to expect otherwise.

> Are you saying that if oil prices going up caused inflation, that oil prices going down would cause deflation?

That's right.

Where does the extra money come from to keep prices high after the oil prices drop? In order to have a general price increase, there must be more money in the economy to sustain it.
I'm curious about all the outraged comments - when was the last time you used cash and when was the last time the amount was above the limit? Or the butt hurt outrage is just on principle and the sheeply is already not giving a duck? ;-)

The time spent in flight is not the limiting factor on globe-spanning tourism. Traveling is massively expensive (not just the cost of transportation, but also lodging, food, and itinerary), and if this just makes it more expensive, then it doesn't help in that regard.
It's pretty simple: "it's my phone, I do what I want with it, just like my house or car".

Which includes "go to any website and run any app I can download from it, regardless of whether it's illegal or against any rules or against the interests of the phone maker" and "change any aspect of functionality that I don't like (e.g. apps being able to show ads) and that I can find out on the web how to change".

It doesn't include "Google or Apple make rules about what I can do with my phone that I can't override".

I used to listen to a lake background noise sound, I would just have it on for hours while programming or relaxing. But at some point I heard that there was a little plopping sound, just some water that splashed in a certain way to produce that sound.

And soon I heard it again, and again, and again. I knew the audio looped, but having detected a distinguishing sound like that plop broke the illusion for me completely, I was no longer listening to the calm waters of a lake, but a looping wav file.

Inflation is like the opposite of a wealth tax - it affects poor people much more then rich people (since rich people have more of their wealth in owning assets which are less affected by inflation).

It is important that you might have considered Apple Watch if it were available for Android. This gatekeeping seems the crux of the lawsuit.

However, given your deep experience with Fitbit / Google's offerings and careful consideration of Garmin's as well, I'm curious: What do you think of the merit of suing Apple for antitrust for Apple Watch not supporting at least some set of Android devices?
It has a couple of very low strength ones. I would be inclined to think that they might be causing a problem if it didn't also happen outside of my bag. Additionally, I can see in the logs that it never detects a lid open, which would trigger a full wake from the dark wake.
> People keep calling it "next next token predictors", but clearly there is something more going on

I think this depends what you mean by "something more going on".

Now, if someone says that it is "just" "next token prediction", in a dismissive way, I think that's an error.

But, while they RLHF ones aren't exactly trained just to match the observed distribution, but rather are trained with the RLHF objective, it is nonetheless true that the model produces a probability distribution over possible next tokens, conditioned on the previous tokens, and samples from that. (I suppose there's also like, things done as part of the sampling on top of these conditional probabilities, rather than just sampling according to the probabilities given the temperature. (I don't know how this part works really.) But I think this is mostly just a trick to get a little more quality, and not a major part of how it behaves? Not part of the NN itself in any case.)
I used OneRep for a few years and it did what it advertised, but that's certainly shady as hell and I'm glad I stopped using their service.

Indeed, this is the kind of thing I would have expected to see written in Go or Rust. I wonder what the motivation for this implementation choice was.
Interesting! Did you try the function calling API? I feel you with the line number troubles, it's hard to get something consistent there. Using diffs with GPT-4 isn't much better in my experience; I didn't extensively test that, but from what I did it rarely produced synctatically valid diffs that could just be sent to `patch`. One approach I started playing with was using tree-sitter to add markers to code and let the LLM specify marker ranges for deletion/insertion/replacement, but alas, I got distracted before fully going through with it.

In any case, I'll keep an eye on the project, good luck! Let me know if you ever need an extra set of hands, I find this stuff pretty interesting to think about :)
My wife and I landed in NRT a couple months ago and had a taxi leave us high and dry. We had to book a taxi there and then and it cost $450 to Tokyo in a standard taxi. The pre booked taxi that left us H&M was $200.
It’s still a long time to get into Tokyo and even then you might be far from where you want to go. As far as I remember the rapid line from Marita only stops at shinjuku and Tokyo station.
Ok, it's great that you want that, Apple clearly doesn't want to provide that for you any more than they want to provide you with Intel based macs, watches that run Linux, or touch screen laptops. No one has explained yet why Apple should be legally obligated to provide that for you. There's a lot of hand waving towards Apple having a monopoly on their own products, which is something of a tautology, but notably no one claims they have a smart phone monopoly or a smart phone OS monopoly because that's patently absurd given the sheer magnitude of the non-iphone smartphone market. Nor has anyone explained why they're not satisfied with getting those things from that non-iphone market.

This isn't like the late 90's computer era. Apple doesn't fine BestBuy and AT&T for carrying non-apple smart phones. They don't obligate Samsung and Sony to buy licenses to iOS for every phone they ship, regardless of whether iOS is installed on it. Heck, even though they're bundling the web browser with the OS you can't even reasonably make the argument doing so is giving them a monopoly in the web browser space.

It didn't create lots of inflation though. It took the disruptions caused by covid shut-downs to kick off inflation.
It depends heavily on which year of the 70s you look at (I was using 1974), but yes, it's true, at the very start of the 70s, houses were 3x the price they are now (measured in gold).

http://www.goldchartsrus.com/chartstemp/USHLSPOG.php

You're right - this is even stronger evidence that whereas most people believe houses have increased in value over the last 5+ decades, they have at best remained the same value, and the price increases have simply been the devaluation of the dollar (which incidentally increases in supply at the same rate as house prices increase - roughly double each decade)

Flow state: Why fragmented thinking is worse than any interruption
I remember reading it in a Harvard white paper, I deleted my MMT archives once it became obvious that it was not only economically unworkable (which I had already assumed) but also politically unworkable.

Economists used to think that inflation was hard to start which made MMT more tenable and now they think inflation is hard to stop. It was only hard to start because speculative asset bubbles soak up liquidity and reduce money velocity.

Gold is great for people who already have wealth. (Those people also have had other good investment options.) Gold is useless for people trying to earn money to pay for a mortgage for housing today.

Also, houses built today are much more valuable (cheaper per "foot" or "room") than houses built new in 1970-- they are much larger.

Travel on first class. It is a different thing, especially internationally. You don't wait in line for check-in. You don't deal with security the same way. You don't deal with immigration the same way. You don't wait around hours for your bags to come out the chute. You don't get bumped off of flights, nor do your bags. It saves hours, even on the shortest flights. When companies send their people first class it isn't about comfort so much as saving time and increasing reliability.

With respect to Kanary, I have my entire family the platform and it's drastically reduced the amount of garbage (figurative) that comes through our door. Needed help with something non-standard the CEO personally took care of things while learning more about our specific use case.
If we are talking about say a house, i think the poorer person who rents (and has rent increase with inflation) would be much more negatively affected over time, notwithstanding the extra capital gains tax the person who owns the house would have to pay upon sale.
This sort of system just encourages more meta debates about what is and isn't on the front page and why. Most of them are repetitive and boring. This is analogous to the 'receipts for downvotes' perennial - if you think about what it would mean in practice, it's not hard to see the result would be a crappier site.
Fair advice.
You know, the tech job market is pretty bad at the moment. They might even have families where they are the sole breadwinner.
Housing costs wouldn’t be on anyone’s radar if they simply grew with inflation.
Interesting, I've recently spent an unhealthy amount of time researching archival formats to build the same setup of using SQLite with ZStd.

My use case is extremely redundant data (specific website dumps + logs) that I want decently quick random access into,
and I was unhappy with either the access speed, quality/usability or even existence of libraries for several formats.

Glancing over the code this seems to use the following setup:

- Aggregate files

- Chunk into blocks

- Compress blocks of fixed size

- Store file to chunk and chunk to block associations

What I did not see is a deduplication step for the chunks, or an attempt to group files (and by extend, blocks) by similarity in an attempt improve compression.

But I might have just missed that due to lack of familiarity with Pascal.

For anyone interested in this strategy, take a look at ZPAQ [1] by Matt Mahoney, you might know him from the Hutter Prize competition [2] / Large Text Compression Benchmark. It takes 14th place with tuned parameters.

There's also a maintained fork called zpaqfranz, but I ran into some issues like incorrect disk size estimates with it.
For me the code was also sometimes hard to read due to being a mix of English and Italian. So your mileage may vary.

> Absent government intervention in the functioning of markets, being frugal would have paid off way more than it has

Why do you believe that to be the case? I think you are going with a gut feeling that the world should reward frugality, but if you actually examine that belief, there is no solid science behind it - but he world does not appreciate moral virtues, it does not reward kindness, and other things either.

The real reason we spot patterns where there aren’t patterns is because the human sensory system is tuned by natural selection to err on the side of caution in borderline cases. Our ancestors who thought they saw a wolf in the shadows and took cover are the ones who survived to pass their genes on, because sometimes there really was a wolf there. Their peers whose senses lacked that safety margin got picked off.
Of course there's a benefit; you can buy the iPhone 5 for $600. If you would be happy with it this year, you'll be happy with it next year too. The existence of an iPhone 6 doesn't make the iPhone 5 any worse.

The existence of business class flights proves this wrong. You are probably right the relative demand for face-to-face has gone down since Concorde but the world has also gotten bigger and richer since. I suspect absolute demand is higher, particularly if they can deliver their promise of business-class prices (versus Concorde's, inflation-adjusted $20k).
Capital gains taxes are discounted to compensate for inflation. (10-20% vs 30-40%). It's not perfect but it's an estimate.

Also, capital gains are unearned.
I feel like this is easier to do as a junior developer than a mid to senior level developer.

Also, I have tried this on a team and one or two would do it but everyone acted like they are too busy. Basically, it was hard to get one on one time to talk to people on the team outside the manager.

Depending on how toxic the job is too, this could be used against you. I don't think it should, but if they expect a mid/senior developer then they could see this as not being senior enough.

How do you handle the above concerns? Both to make people make time for this and also how do you defend against it being used against you? Yes, there is a grace period. But then it feels like even with a grace period, some still find a reason to use it against you.

Japan also did it in this case in general, but not everywhere. Because having a law and enforcing a law is not the same - because there was determined resistance of all kinds. And by law they could have also expropriated that land, but that would have sparked more violent opposition. Apparently letting this farm as it is, was one of the compromises to have the airport at all, without riot police guarding it 24/7.

Yes, and? The question asked was "how would a person [wind up with sketchy software installed] if it is behind a security toggle?". The answer I gave was that not every person that uses tech makes the decisions about setting it up, and that officially sanctioned routes imply support costs regardless of any disclaimers. Are you saying that if Apple had an official ability to root the OS that the number of people who wind up with unknowingly rooted would be the exact same as there are now when the only way to do that is with a jailbreak?
