In a healthy economy, deflation (i.e. falling prices) is a good thing. Things get cheaper over time - it's the utopia we should be living in now.

We've made massive increases in production efficiency across the board over the years, but the banks and government have creamed off all those efficiency gains for themselves, by printing money, creating the illusion that everything is instead going up in value, and have made themselves mind-blowingly powerful.

As the world economies are so broken, if the money supply went down instead of up (i.e. deflationary supply), the real value of the already enormous debts would increase even if the nominal value didn't, causing the economies to collapse suddenly. By keeping the money supply increasing, the economies are collapsing slowly instead, ultimately ending in hyperinflation.
Deregulation has not lead to a utopia of competition in free markets, rather virtually every market is a cartel or monopoly with heavy regulatory capture.

This is probably the best example of government lack of regulation, considering that their ample laws against monopoly's, cartels and duopolies from the days of Teddy Roosevelt's administration

They are effectively not enforced, or if enforcement is attempted corporate legal departments now have an effective means of defeating them since the Microsoft trial
> The person of faith believes evidence in the form of 1st person subjective experience is sufficient to justify their beliefs.

> The person of science believes evidence must meet a fundamentally different set of criteria.

Ironically, these two claims are themselves are both faith based, necessarily - those who make such claims do not have access to the fact of the matter on either of these (because it is not possible to attain), thus the mind injects predictions (based on its training) into the individual's stream stream of "reality", and the individual falls for it (as their culture has taught them to).

Science even teaches this stuff, which makes the whole thing even more hilarious.

The Rationalist community (SSC, LessWrong) has an excellent approach to it (too bad they also forget their scriptures): ~"we are not rationalists, we are aspiring rationalists".

Meanwhile: how many innocent Humans died around the world today while us super smart Westerners are living it up in a state of unrealized delusion and unearned decadence?
This is neat! I like how it shows its intermediate work steps. For the test searches I ran, it did recommend products I would have ended up buying (or already bought!).

A couple of suggestions. One, I think the UI needs some adjustments. The interaction design is good overall, but there are some minor issues like certain touch targets being too small, inconsistent text sizes, inconsistent or arbitrary spacing/padding/margins. Some stuff at the bottom of the page is unclickable on iOS because it’s too close to the bottom of the viewport and can’t be scrolled up.

The second suggestion is that there is a business/legal risk in pitching this as “using Reddit”. You might broaden to include other discussion fora and downplay the mention of a specific site.
It’s the old county fair analogy: the rich kids get shots on goal until they hit. Middle class kids get one shot. The poor get no shots, they’re working the fair. There are progressively fewer middle class kids getting their one shot. And some of them used to get two.
These things are different and I did mean dual numbers. The dual numbers do form an ordered ring. When you complain about certain elements being non-invertible, I think you are probably complaining that they aren't a field.
:shrug: I'm one person on the Internet, so if using the LLM makes it work better for more of your users, go with that.

I do think data filtering and visualization is an important value add, Pytrace looks cool, but it doesn't look much different from what I get if I debug Javascript in a web browser, so I think there's a ton of room to improve. Visual representations of data transformations and code paths are a relatively unexplored area across the entire software industry imo.

If an LLM could flat-out reduce my need to reason and fix the bug for me, great -- but I've worked with coders that I respect a lot, and remote debugging with them has always been a pain and made narrowing down issues harder. I've never enjoyed debugging something remotely where I was working through a middleperson and couldn't look at what was going on; it's helpful to have multiple eyes on the code, but not if I have to use someone else's eyes to look at what's happening.

So for me, in order to successfully reduce the amount of reasoning I need to do and overcome the downside of me not being able to visualize the timeline/data, the LLM would need to be better at fixing these bugs than professional developers in industry: developers who are already intimately familiar with the codebases I'm debugging because they wrote a significant portion of the code. It would need to be better at coding than professional humans. And I just don't think there's anyone who would say that GPT-4 is close to that level yet.

What I could see is, maybe -- if I have access to that data, and the LLM is just kind of on-the-side, maybe at that point it can offer helpful advice and there wouldn't be a downside because I would still be able to debug as fast as I can using all of the available data, and if the LLM can occasionally find something I missed, then great. Peer-debugging sessions with multiple coders are great, so at least in theory I could see some value from an LLM on that stuff, even if I'm a little skeptical about potential performance. And if the LLM wasn't in front of the entire data, if it didn't work then no worries, the data is still there.

But again, if people like it, then it doesn't matter what I think. Why I wouldn't use the tool is less important than why someone would use the tool, and if integration with the LLM makes people want to use the tool, then... I mean, not everyone has identical work styles. Different things might work for different people.
I don't see this in the demo so I'll ask here: what does the UI look like for identifying unknown faces? In Picasa there was a tab somewhere with unknown faces grouped together by what it thought were the same person. It had a really good flow for this that was perfect for doing genealogy work with loads of old photos.
She takes immunosuppressants every day still. We do not practice any additional caution. We've all had Covid more than once, and she gets every cold and other virus and fights them off no problem. She got EBV with her liver, and when that flares up they will reduce her suppressants at times.
Pretty much. My life is tremendously simplified if I just pause it in high-earning young person mode.

Money is abundant for travel and anything I want.

- I don't need to figure out dating. Means I don't need to figure out everything from conflict resolution to clothing.
- I don't need to struggle to buy a ton of housing.
- I have a friend who will have kids I can just play rich uncle to.

- I can retire decades early due to overemployment and spend an absurd amount of money every year doing whatever I want. Hundreds of thousands a year to just dump on whatever tickles my fancy.

That is what kids existing must compete against.
I don't, sorry. I've held off on installing updates for exactly this reason. They seem to vary based on current year as well as firmware version - you might try rolling your system clock back to 2023 before trying again.
I wonder whether we're missing out on techniques that work well on large models but that don't show promise on small ones

I remember from even better days than today, but the entry job out of college had become an unpaid internship.

Which effectively limited them to people that already had very stable and financially supportive family situations.

Part of the reason that class mobility is going down. Although I think most of the production in class mobility is due to the disappearance of the high paid blue collar job in manufacturing

Supposedly manufacturing will be re- onshored in the next decade depending on who you talk to. So the tide may be turning?

Except for the criteria that would let you could launch me into space and let me survive drifting through the radioactive vacuum for thousands or millions of years without harm, then allow me to self-replicate using any arbitrary matter I happen to encounter (as opposed to sexually with another member of my species, which is how humans normally replicate) then allow my progeny to repeat the process without significant failure over countless generations.

Its not possible for the IRS to auto create a return for you from your bank statements full stop. The idea is flawed.

Surveys show as much as half of workers make money outside normal employment so this is not some obscure side effect but the common case.

The first six weeks are pretty intense. The recovery is amazing as how fast liver labs drop and how fast the jaundice yellow clears. I would probably say six weeks is a fair figure until you are a whole new person!
For your use case you might want to look at RocksDB.

It supports zstandard compression, random access, and it's very robust.
I was gifted AirPods, but I'm on the Android ecosystem. I see a huge difference between what I can configure on an Apple device vs my Android devices. For example, on an Apple device I can enable features to help me hear better in a noisy environment which would be nice to have.

I wonder if they are using a proprietary configuration API that is deliberately kept secret or if no Android devs have figured out how to reverse engineer it yet (seems very unlikely).

If the likely former, I'd like someone to address this as well as it almost feels like if they're getting into hearing assistance features, then accessibility becomes important.
Kids are a luxury good, requiring time, income, and flexibility most do not have. To have them is to suffer needlessly in a macro hostile to parents.
The correct answer here is to ignore local landowners and build the airport. Airports have tremendous benefits to the country and the greater area. I feel badly for the folks who have to take the costs - and I wouldn’t be opposed to some compensations - but fundamentally we’re talking about helping a few people (who could move) at the cost of most people. I feel especially strongly about this in the case of people who moved in after the airport existed. You knew exactly what you were signing up for.

Me too but in php. I couldn't find a streaming zip encoder that you can just require() and use without further hassle, so I wrote one (it's on github somewhere).

The problem is that zip is finicky and extremely poorly documented. I had to look at what other implementations do to figure out some of the fields. About at least one field, the spec (from the early 90s or late 80s I think) says it is up to you to figure out what you want to put there! After all that, I additionally wrote my own docs in case someone coming after me needs to understand the format as well, but some things are just assumptions and "everyone does it this way"s, leading to me having only moderate confidence that I've followed the spec correctly. I haven't found incompatibilities yet, but I'd also not be surprised if an old decoder doesn't eat it or if a modern one made a different choice somewhere.

It's also not as if I haven't come across third party zip files that the Debian command line tool wouldn't open but the standard Debian/Cinnamon GUI utility was perfectly happy about. If it were so well-documented and standard, that shouldn't be a thing. (Similarly, customers on macOS can't open our encrypted 7z pentest report files. The Finder asks for the password and then flat-out tells them "incorrect password", whereas in reality it seems to be unable to handle filename encryption. Idk if that is per the spec but incompatibilities are abound.)
No, not implying that. These are not my terms, but I would call the 6000 years ago stuff "young earth creationism," distinct from several kinds of "old earth creationism."

My point was just that proponents of so-called "intelligent design" sometimes try to create the impression that it is not itself a form of creationism, but it very much is. Not exactly the same as young earth creationism or any of the old earth variants, but still very much creationism nonetheless.

The basic idea as I understand it is that life exhibits "irreducible complexity" that could not have evolved naturally, and therefore must have been created by some "designer." It is the "must have been created" part that makes is fundamentally creationist.
It’s not always economical though. When you have the top jet engine manufacturers in the world turning down your business the time has come to ask some tough questions.

This is old technology, we know how to do this - what we’ve not figured out is how to make it profitable. There were supposed to be 350 Concorde built but we got 14. Operating an Airline is a brutal business now matter how cool the planes may be.
Yes. I mean it in the same way that Toronto is a major Italian city. We have more people identifying as Italians than all but 6 cities in Italy.
If you do consider "what is a function?" not to be a not quite subtle question, you end up with something that basically everybody knows who paid a little bit of attention in the 7th grade math classes.

Someone with a net worth of $100b would be well advised to keep it as $100b in bills in a deflationary environment though, because other more productive things they could be investing in would, on average, return less money.

Deflation is everybody else working harder than last year to beg cash hoarders to spend their money back into the economy.

A lot of that viewpoint is informed by the Detroit white flight phenomenon.

I find it hard to believe that every single white person in a neighborhood would be so racist that the mirror arrival of a single black family would trigger the mass migration of all white people from that neighborhood

No, it really was the property values. Of course, the property values exist under those rules because of inherent racism. There's no denying that.

Perhaps all the white people were just covering themselves by saying oh, we are leaving because of other people's racism, not because of ours. We are leaving because our property values are decreasing from other people's racism.

Inflation is absolutely not a wealth tax. You should spend some more time understanding the impact of inflation and I suspect you will come to the opposite conclusion and that it is a tax on the poor.
This doesn't address the claim oblio was making - 'People are poorer than they were in 1990, especially the mid to lower classes' - real GDP per capita could double but it all be captured by the top quartile, for example.

(I think the claim is still wrong, and that all quartiles are doing better in real terms, but that's a tougher thing to measure)

The way I read it, it’s actually the opposite of what you wrote. You suggested that the Fed relied on inflation numbers that it knew to be too low — i.e. that inflation was understated due to failure to account for substitution effects and the like. In fact, the Boskin commission concluded the opposite — i.e. that inflation figures were overstated in aggregate due to failure to account for things like quality changes and the substitution effect.

While the most recent global data from the WHO is from 2019, the pandemic has influenced suicide rates worldwide. In order to know Japan's suicide rates for 2023, you would need a comprehensive comparison involving data from all countries for that year. Such a complete dataset for 2023 is not available, so you can’t really make a conclusion without engaging in speculation.

No offense to you but that man’s argument has strong “I beat my wife because she deserves it” vibes.

You have a proof for this "isn't worth shit" fact?

The unnatural approach, strict logic/epistemology/rationality/etc, is to wonder what is true. But once one falls victim to an ideology filled with heuristics, like science, it often disables those services within the mind, rendering one unable to wonder what is true.

Diesel engines have pretty much always been made of cast iron. It's the most common material for the engine block. Cast iron, not steel. The more hard-wearing parts (crankshaft, rods, bolts, camshafts, piston rings) are steel. Maybe they could use wrought iron, but with a lot of difficulty.
The game console exception in the DMA is very disappointing, but phones are the largest gaming platform regardless. As hardware improves and ownership becomes even more obligatory I suspect we will see more development effort focused there. I can only hope that F2P/Gacha game culture on mobile is destroyed by that point. Perhaps by anti-gambling laws?
People say a lot of bad things about the IRS, but my wife and I have had to call them a couple of times and the representatives are incredibly helpful and try really hard to solve the problems we've brought them.

The only complaint I have is that last year and the year before the IRS did not have enough representatives to staff the phone lines to have short queue times, so each call to the IRS took several hours to complete. So I was really excited to see the IRS get more funding this year. I believe they are trying to do the right thing but are often hampered by funding and by politics.
