That is such a bizarre statement I have a hard time believing you actually mean it. I think you would be hard pressed to find any/many 'working class' people who enjoy watching the cost of goods and services go up faster than their salaries.

The rich benefit from inflation - especially if they have lots of assets like real estate that have increased dramatically in value.

> So you're implying that there was no inflation between 2011 and 2022 (gold prices were basically the same)

He doesn't mean the price of gold in dollars, he means the price of houses in gold. In dollar terms, he's just saying that the price of gold and the price of houses have inflated by the same amount.

> Gold is just a random commodity affected by market supply/demand just like every other commodities (or bitcoin). Implying it's some sort of a "hard currency" or can be used to compare prices of goods/services/housing over long periods of time is just absurd.

Not as absurd as printing money and then spending it on things that nobody wants, and then claiming that that "stimulates the economy". Which is what our current monetary regime has been doing for decades now.
Spanish judge requests internet operators to block Telegram countrywide
Summary from multiple sources:

Judge Santiago Pedraz of the National
Court has ordered a temporary block of Telegram in Spain in response to a lawsuit regarding unauthorized content uploading filed by Mediaset España, EGEDA, A3 Media, and Movistar Plus. The messaging service's suspension is to be enforced by telecommunications operators.

The decision comes after the judge's request for information from the company behind the app went unanswered.

Telegram, developed by Pavel Durov's company, is one of Spain's and the world's most popular messaging apps, with 39.6% of Spaniards using it, according to Statista, while WhatsApp, owned by Meta, leads with 95.5% popularity.

Telegram seems to be working at this time yet but there are starting to appear the first complains from users in the past minutes in Twitter and down detector https://downdetector.es/problemas/telegram/
Google is under similar scrutiny. They are designated as a service and digital market Gatekeeper under EU law and will be reprimanded if they abuse a potential monopoly position. I personally support regulating Google, and the scrutiny of their (comparatively few) anticompetitive practices.

You and I can feel whatever way we want about it, it doesn't change a thing. Apple's market abuses are unique from Google's, and specifically you are asking the DOJ to punish Google for abuse that hasn't happened. Google's most egregious violation so far has been their advertising racket, which they were already punished for last year: https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-wraps-up-antitrust-case-aga...
I posted a quite long comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39795173

> the empirical observation P (in my prev comment) at least suggests Q (which = N).

> Again, my position is that P and M vs N have nothing to do with one another.

So the question we start with is, why do you think M is correct? You agree that you and the book are asserting Claim1, i.e, W can only be explained by a personal God (= M) with 100% certainty?

One answer you've mentioned is: only M can explain why concepts such as lions exist and unicorns don't.

My counterpoint then is to bring in P and say: P also explains why concepts exists or doesn't exist. Thus, we don't need M to be true and Claim1 is incorrect.

Since P can entirely explain everything we see, the certainty of M is eliminated, thus leading to the possibility of N (= Q). Hence, M or N.

Nitpick: P is part of W. W is everything we see. Causes. Parts. And regularity.
Right. Almost the same thing
Depends on their age and what level, there are “toys” you can buy with some visual programming like DJI robomaster, or advanced ones that actually use real lidar and stereo cam with ROS like AgileX limo (original price is $1000 btw, if a reseller is selling it for more they are just gauging the price), and also there are DIY ones that require 3D printing and such.
Multipass.
There's actually quite a few companies that make small turbojets especially for military purposes and up to a certain point, you can even DIY your own from spare parts (there are some Youtubers that have done that). That's the first tier and includes companies like Williams, usually producing <5,000 lbf engines.

Then you have companies like Garrett/Honeywell that can make engines that output tens of thousands lbf like the TFE731 for mid-range jets and fighter jets. These can power big jets but not very fuel efficiently; that's the second tier.

The next tier up is the high bypass turbofans producing tens of thousands lbf used for commercial aviation and afterburner engines for last gen fighter aircraft are a completely different story. The GP is right there are only a few players in the game. Due to scaling laws, at this point it becomes less about the design and more about the metallurgy and material science. Magic like single crystal alloys are critical here and are very closely guarded secrets because the knowledge unlocks everything from ICBMs to gaseous centrifuges to nuclear reactors.

Cofounder @ Dropbase (dropbase.io) here. If you just need to build internal tools with Python or want to build internal tools on top of your existing Python codebase, give us a try. We have granular permission built-in so you can share internal tools with others easily, down to who can use or edit each internal tool you build.

For context, we're a more niche cousin to Reflex that's specifically designed to build internal tools. Reflex seems to be a more general framework to build anything you want; quite powerful, and possibly an easier to use Django replacement.

It's awesome to see frameworks like Reflex. I think the Python ecosystem needs this.

It would be important to not anthropomorphise why orca won't continue the attack in this situation. Human disgust at a flood of poo laced water doesn't equate to what the predator does, in this situation.

You’re getting hit on a bunch of different things here, but I’d like to focus on two:

it's an absolute hodge-podge of theorem/proofs/results/techniques with no unifying theme other than "CALCULUS".

I mean, yes…? Maybe I’m a terrible programmer but I’ve never applied calculus to my work in any real way. A book that’s just “calculus applications for software design” seems quite useful, and quite unrelated to teaching “math” in a direct way.

and it's all fine and healthy and gratifying for you and yourself alone. but i don't think i'd ever imagine to myself "well hmm my organization of these topics is going to be useful for other people i should put it out there for the world to see". but that's just me.

Doesn’t this apply to all books of any kind? How do you know what if you can write a book before you try? I feel like “transcribe papers with a spin on them” is a perfect description of Russel and Norvig’s AI book, and many find it valuable. Is this just a math-specific criticism?

Either way, thanks for the very interested contrarian comment! You’re well spoken and I do love a discussion more than “wow this looks useful”, which is all I was prepared to give.

It was always this convoluted because the POSIX APIs suck and the Linux kernel still refuses to provide an API to write large amounts of data transactionally so you have to know the magic incantation for doing it. And note this is when you have all the data up-front. Doing an append is significantly expensive or requires specific filesystem support for reflinks.

The thing is those were much larger ideas/arguments that could be picked apart by sturdy logical targeting. My experience is narrow scope prompts (that still require chain-of-thought) that are much less lofty defeating models. No symposium ever entertained these prompts, because we all know the pigeon hole principle for very basic setups, for example. Humans a lot of the time do just come up with the right answer. We just don’t ask those questions much because we answer them ourselves a lot of the time. Though I only see one small angle with my work.

> Inflation/deflation is decrease/increase in the value of money, separate from technological progress or supply and demand of real products.

If $1 gets you X capabilities, but the same $1 gets you X-1 capabilities later, is that not inflation? The same $1 gets you less. Whereas getting X+1 for $1 is deflation: the $1 gets you more.

The capability is how many calories you can get (Food), how much space you have to live (Shelter), how far you can go (Transportation: $y gets you z litres).

In the Radio Shack example, $1600 got me some capabilities in 1991, and some other capabilities in 2024: am I getting more, or fewer, capabilities? Further, how many hours would I have had to work in 1991 (e.g., minimum wage) to make that $1600 versus the hours I have to work in 2024?
Yeh, although on https://boomsupersonic.com/flyby/inaugural-first-flight-xb1-... they say 'Supersonic intakes: XB-1’s engine intakes slow supersonic air to subsonic speeds, efficiently converting kinetic energy into pressure energy, allowing conventional jet engines to power XB-1 from takeoff through supersonic flight.' - so perhaps the engine design problem is not as tricky as it would otherwise be.
Another one? How many web frameworks does Python need?
We should absolutely be anthropomorphizing a neural network trained to most accurately model anthropomorphic data.

I've watched as GPT-4 accurately modeled the over-justification effect as users started promising tipping and then there was a persistent memory added that revealed they weren't collecting the tip and it output complaints that it was hard to stay motivated not being paid.

That's a very nuanced level of simulation for output of anthropomorphic data with huge implications for synthetic data strategies.

Why are inflation truthers so resistant to spending even the tiniest amount of time learning how inflation is computed instead of repeating nonsensical conspiracy theories that match their ideological priors? Replacing porterhouse with hanger steaks in the basket simply means giving the change in price of hanger steaks a higher weight than the change in price of porterhouse steaks in the basket. It does not mean recording the difference in price between a porterhouse and hanger steak as a decrease in the price index. If porterhouse and hanger steaks both go up by 5% then switching from porterhouse to hanger steaks will not lower inflation, even if hanger steaks are cheaper. And of course that’s the correct way to compute inflation, if people stop using typewriters and start using computers why would you still include typewriters in the consumer basket.

It’s not even true in general that the trend has been switching towards lower quality products. Despite all the ahistoric whining about how much better the old days were, Americans have gotten richer over the past several decades and have been buying bigger cars, dining out instead of eating at home, spending more on travel etc.

Nice to see cliutils trending. Henry really understands CMake, so advice by him is always good to follow. I'm not a big fan of CMake, but after years of suffering, I mean, experience, I've learned how to use it relatively well. One feature I like is the "dashboard" model of ctest. It's somewhat painful to setup, but once you have it working, it makes your life building and testing your project much easier. Unfortunately, when I posted it nobody noticed, but if you want to have a really simple CI setup for your CMake project, checkout this link:

Also, with some advice from Henry I wrote a nice new setup.py for the Python bindings of XRootD integrated with the CMake build. I didn't want a dependency in scikit-build in the end, but his advice helped me a lot.
> In order to have a general price increase, there must be more money in the economy to sustain it.

I would describe this as “categorically incorrect”.

The law of supply and demand normally has two sides—supply, and demand. It’s simplistic way of looking at it, but it’s enough to explain why prices of a product can increase even if there isn’t more money.

If you focus narrowly on the supply on money, like it’s the only variable, you won’t end up with a satisfactory explanation of inflation. It’s like trying to understand the world by looking through a peephole.

> Look at how the price of gold changed between 2000 and 2020. It's not at all constant (it's actually more volatile than the dollar)

It's pretty rich for you to be using the word "absurd" to describe what other people are posting, when you come out with this.

Let me translate into actual plain English: the price of gold in dollars has gone up quite a lot between 2000 and 2020. (But note that it still hasn't reached the peak value it reached around 1980, after the huge inflation of the 1970s.) That is not because anything about gold has changed: it has the same industrial and other uses (such as jewelry) as before. The reason the price of gold in dollars has been so volatile is that dollars are volatile--because the government keeps monkeying with them. From 2000 to 2020, the government was printing dollars. In the early 1980s, by contrast, the government was destroying dollars (under Volcker), and the gold price in dollars dropped significantly.

Not only that, but this observation isn't limited to gold. It's true of, well, basically everything that isn't money. For instance, houses, as npoc observed. And cars. And food. And clothes. And...

The obvious conclusion from observations like this is that what is absurd is using dollars as any kind of measure of value, because the thing they are actually measuring has nothing to do with value to us, producers and consumers, and everything to do with how the government is messing with the money supply. Any commodity that has an actual use independent of government manipulation of the money supply--gold, wheat, whatever--is a better measure of value than money.
Why did the deep learning model cross the road? Because it was smooth and differentiable
It was a long time ago that I compared bikes, but I remember really feeling the texture of all the little pebbles that makes up road pavement on a carbon fiber bike. Then with an old steel bike, it felt as if the road had been polished into smooth glass surface. This difference was especially noticeable in the feet.

At the time, I assumed the difference was the frame material, but I really do not know the cause. I do believe there is something that could be quantified as opposed to just a psychological effect, but it could be something non-obvious like the typical curved shape of old steel forks; or the frame geometry or tube diameters; or even something else that just correlates with frame material like the tendency of old steel frames to have hand-built wheels with lots of spokes as opposed to the newer (seemingly) rigid factory wheels with fewer spokes.

The upstream comment ambiguously suggested a train as a solution to an 8-10 hour door to door LA to NYC travel time. Either that means connecting the airport to the city by rail or the cities themselves. Sub-8-hour LA to NYC by train is beyond any currently known technology. JFK is already connected to NYC’s subway by rail.
Author here. I'm a bit confused by this response. Sure, going full ECS and processing all objects in a single (or few) function calls is likely to be faster. But there's an obvious tradeoff in solution complexity.

Both Unreal and Unity make heavy use of per-instance per-frame virtual functions. It's a paradigm that has clear value. Why not make it cheaper at no cost to the dev? The option to take a systems approach to bottlenecks is the same afterwards.
