In this case at least, the Fed et al look at far more numbers than just "headline inflation". - Which does not avoid the greater problem that a lot of such (greater) numbers still tend to necessarily have politically and policy-influenced rationales. There are many ways that inflation could be computed (and for many sub-populations).

The numbers should be reflection of "reality on the ground" but if they are (by design) in sync with some group-think, then it does not matter whether the numbers are used to produce the decision or to justify it after the decision is made. The two are at risk of becoming the same.

It is US-led, but the US has good reasons.

- The US has almost everything it needs in North America to be self-sufficient. Food, energy, natural resources, manufacturing, trade.

- The US is tired of being involved in the Middle East.

- The US is tired of protecting the oceans and trade for everyone else.

- The US is tired of China stealing its tech, being protectionist, becoming an adversary, not being friendly to US companies, meddling in US trade, etc.

- The US is tired of NATO not stepping up to the plate. It won't back out, of course, but would love for Europe to care more about its own security.

There are so many reasons the US is pulling back. Both the Trump and Biden presidencies are completely on board with it. It's fully bipartisan, and it's going to accelerate.

The US is going to near-shore, friend-shore, and to every extent possible, onshore what it needs.

When I travel, I'll take all my luggage out and put it back in, do laundry, shave, etc. Basically, a reset. Then I'll treat myself to something familiar, maybe watch a movie I love. It's a good way to ground myself again and start afresh.

Longer ruts seem to come from routine and aimlessness. I find that giving myself time without devices or entertainment helps. A bicycle ride is a good way to clear one's mind.
I think the main difference between WASM and JVM is that WASM was designed as a generic compilation target for all kinds of existing languages like C or Swift, while JVM is designed to specifically run Java bytecode with the features that Java-based languages support.

This is a good take. I have also stayed single for a LONG time due to having children and separating from their mom and not wanting to not be available for them. I stayed single for over 4 years and gave all my time to my kids. But after a while I realized, as well as them getting older, that I too deserve to get out and have someone in my life to love me. Still working on the love life but do get out with friends a bit more often than I used to and my kids see how much healthier I am taking me time and being active and having a social life.

> How did you transition from govt work back into tech. Ive made some efforts but never seem to be able to bridge it.

Probably a combination of factors:

- I finished my PhD in computer science shortly before looking for work outside the DoD, and that probably lent me some credibility.

- I'd had good success with several unclassified software projects while inside the DoD, and I was able to talk about them during the interviews.

- I put some effort into interview prep. E.g., I'd done very little with networking, so I brushed up on DNS, etc., before interviewing for a company that does internet stuff.

- Luck and timing. I'm sure there was some luck regarding which interviewers / hiring managers were interested in my resume.

Yep that's exactly the reason, plus not wanting to compete with Pixel Dungeon. The developer talked about it when first announcing it was coming to iOS

> Shattered Pixel Dungeon will cost $5 US when it fully releases on the App Store. I’m charging because of a mix of Apple’s higher platform fees, not wanting to undercut Pixel Dungeon, and because Shattered is releasing in a much more finished state.

Not supporting most nvidia hardware is not a good thing. I hope it's adoption by commercial users (home users don't have the latest nvidia gpu generally) doesn't mean Nouveau bitrots from lack of companies with deep pockets paying for dev work.

Having myself witnessed a cell phone's battery go up when it was nicked during a removal, I'll take the candle a thousand times over one of those. But you know what you know.

Personally I just wouldn't fuck with re-manufactured batteries at all. Batteries should be new, from licensed factories, and they should be recycled in a way akin to car batteries so we don't lose all the lithium inside that's still perfectly good for another go-round in a new battery.
I am totally out of the loop here, but wasn't the main problem with Nouveau the lack of documentation from Nvidia? They had to reverse engineer things to get it working.

I get that some of the architectural choices no longer make sense, and starting from scratch will address those. But is the goal to have performance that is somewhat comparable to the proprietary drivers? Or just good enough to run the desktop environment with hardware acceleration.

> Your language does not have that goto. Your language has a goto that has been thoroughly constrained by the structured programming paradigm. You can not goto from one function into another, in the middle of an if statement, in the middle of a for loop.

cough `longjmp()` cough. But yeah, it's not called goto...

I've never understood the hate goto gets, there are perfectly fine use cases for goto in most languages which have a goto statement. And even if one would expect otherwise most code I've seen using goto uses it in a sane way or at least intended way (that a modern language like Go can't break out of nested loops without using a label is just plain silly imho). In C there are a thousand ways you can shoot yourself in the foot, goto is nowhere near the top list.
I sometimes think FAANGs select for that group...
Basically, all they have to offer is the paycheck. Outside of a few 'interesting' departments, most FAANG stuff seems to be the same sort of work you'd get in any other industry. And they make sure to run you thru a gauntlet of interviews for the positions.

I think a lot of the "lifelong geek" crowd just finds more 'interesting' work (for whatever qualifies as 'interesting' to them...) in other companies without jumping thru all the hoops (and for less pay, of course). Lots of startups, niche companies, etc offer challenges that can make up for the lower pay.
i hope you are right. Things like TikTok are very unhealthy - and now every social media is trying to emulate them with their version of 'shorts'. But i am not sure if we will have the guts to stop this madness, new media and ad-tech are a very powerful force in politics.

As mentioned in the "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" paper, goto is good as long as it is bridled. The goto horror stems from unbridled gotos.

Pretty much every language created in the past 50-some-odd years, encompassing effectively every language you will actually use, enforce bridled gotos, so for all practical purposes there is no bad use of goto.
Meanwhile, BDS just announced a boycott of Intel

You’re missing that you can reinforce information by repeating specific, data sets. They could use some repetitions of it to drill in the knowledge, put in a lot of content that’s less reliable in a different style, and re-run high-quality content afterwards to reinforce it.

The AI’s already accidentally do that for topics people repeat a lot on the Internet, esp political. ChatGPT used to fight with me over some of those. That it would not relent or stop redirecting me showed that they can be trained to follow authoritative sources, too.
As soon as that happens we will start to see the road tax somehow added on to our daily driving cost and the savings made by using electricity will be greatly reduced due to this tax making EV's just marginally better for cost. But we need to pave the roads somehow so I do expect this to happen and am okay with it.
Goto is the means of creating new flow control mechanisms. C doesn't have labelled break, so you use goto. C doesn't have RAII or defer so you use a goto ladder.

They are indeed called 1865 cells too. The 0 at the end, according to some sources, indicates the cylinder form factor; I couldn't find a definitive reference for this though.

But you will find articles and sources online referring to them as 1865 cells, like Wikipedia.

"An 18650 battery[1] or 1865 cell[2] is a cylindrical lithium-ion battery common in electronic devices"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/18650_battery

I imagine Tesla calling their new battery a 4680 (opposed to a 46800) also leads to this usage.

Dogs get whatever is left over.
I agree it's not mysterious. I was asking with some admittedly false naivety because if I'm being honest, I'm skeptical. I've only ever heard about this from people whose opinions on nutrition are dubious in other ways, and it's usually phrased as something like "all the yogurt you get from the store is dead." I eat yogurt every day and I sometimes make my own (using commercial yogurt as a starter), and I've never had a batch fail to start. Apparently I've only ever bought the live stuff.
As someone who's been around livestock in various modes I'd rather eat lab tumor than anything from a factory farm. If you're worried about meat quality you really need to grab a chest freezer and buy only from 4H auctions.

Some wizened monk might have massaged the cow you're currently eating, but the hard truth is that top quality meat is raised by little girls who'll be destroyed that you had the highest bid.
You can say the same thing about any product mass produced.
So, here's what you do when you hear news about new reactors in the US. You head to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) website and check out the status of the application (or, more often, pre-application). In this case you google NRC and Terrapower, and end up here [1]. There you get some general information, and also a link to the "docket". You can go there and there's some searches you can perform, for example you can find the documents filed this month.

The document that was filed today (20-March-2024) is [2] and has an impossibly long name that starts with "Readiness Assessment" and ends with "Construction Permit Draft Application". The gist of it is that TerraPower submitted the said draft application in January this year, and the NRC has reviewed this draft. Their observations can fall in 3 categories: A, B and C. A means you have a serious gap. B means you need to add some more info, and C is milder than B, it's something like, you are allowed to not add more info if you are really tired and exhausted, but if you do, we don't promise not to be upset.

The great news is that there were no category A findings. There were 30 category B, and about 100 category C findings.

Overall, it does look like TerraPower is making nice progress with the NRC. I did not expect things to be so rosy.

> They need to do some variation of what Elon did to twitter.

What nonsense. Since Elon's purge Twitter has had and endless number of persistent issues that frankly are amature hour level bugs.

He filtered developers by demanding they bring a printout of source code and explain it to him, when it's clear if you've ever seen him talk in detail about software he actually understands almost nothing about the process and details of writing code. This is both an ineffective and unfair way of deciding whether or not to fire someone.

He also lost about half of Twitter's advertisers in a matter of weeks.

I believe in fairness and honesty, so I will say Elon is exceptional at selling investors and customers on a technological vision. Saying his mindset and approach would have made Intel far more successful in recent decades is preposterous.

There isn't really a reason to expect a significant effect, in practice, Tesla COGS/unit plateaued a few 100K ago. It's a bit too abstract and high-level.

Batteries specifically does make sense, ex. Model X has 100 kWh battery. if I price out 100 kWh at $200 right now (high) and its $100 a decade from now, about $20K.

"Software" is hand-waving.

Median life expectancy in the US for males is 73.5

So what happens is that people are paying on their mortgages and then they have a windfall from the inheritance and can get out of debt if they want to, or not if they think their current mortgage is a good deal. In the past decades, what I've seen is that a debt-free house is normal inheritance when it comes to real estate. But maybe not for the future.

Yes, as you say the heirs are usually not young themselves, but maybe with 10-15 years left of working before retirement. And as retirement ages get pushed up for today's young to 70 years and further, this means these people are staying at the workplace and will be staying there.

> Likewise, almost no one has unrealized annual capital gains on their primary residence which are anywhere near their regular income.

Then we live in different worlds. With people and places I know it is normal to have a higher return in real estate appreciation than from labour. Mainly because taxes take away most of your salary, while real estate appreciation is tax free. People have been talking about "real estate careers" for a long time now. Meaning that they're borrowing the maximum amount possible and getting more and more expensive homes as their main career, while their day job is just a way to make minimum mortgage payments and qualify for more expensive mortgages.
I think the distinction is still important, in that the time lag is large enough to have changed the current dynamics, even if they still match on longer timescales. Raising salaries a bit could stem the outflow of construction workers, and raising salaries sufficiently could bring folks like the prior commenter back into the industry. But as more time passes this gets less and less effective, because there's no one left in the industry to retain and no one with recent enough knowledge to pull back in.
