>I should clarify that I mean the "prices people pay for housing move slowly" even if they prices of available housing move quickly for the reasons I mentioned above.

It's not right to count fixed prices in inflation figures. If you are locked into a lease or mortgage, you're not a market participant and any perceived non-increase in prices is tangential to the behavior of the money supply. But the government can't let a good excuse go to waste, which I explain below.

>It's the kind of thing that would explicitly not be reflected in inflation indicators because no price is being paid but would be felt as a negative effect of inflation by people experiencing it.

Actually, there is a very goofy methodology used to estimate housing costs in the official CPI called "owner's equivalent rent". Basically owners of housing are surveyed and asked how much their properties would rent for, which they obviously would tend to underestimate because they are actively out of the rental market in general. This is another reason CPI is a bad measure of inflation. There are many adjustments with plausible excuses, which cumulatively add up to a significant understatement of inflation numbers.
I found it might be quite useful for huge LLMs since those are now hosted on BitTorrent. Of course it is not going to be as practical as IPFS since IPFS is content addressable and easier to do random access.

Do you know whether TurboTax desktop can still be airgapped?

For airgapping, I used to this:

1. Install TurboTax in a Windows VM/machine.

2. Connect the VM/machine to the Internet to get any TurboTax update and state DLC.

3. Permanently disconnect that VM/machine from the Internet.

4. Put my data into TurboTax on the airgapped machine, and generate PDF forms.

5. Sneakernet off the PDF forms and data files.

I'm wondering whether I can still do that, or TurboTax now insists upon phoning home after I start putting my data into it.
> Free market systems are not feasible

We may have a terminological difference. When I said "free market", I don't mean a lasseiz faire market/capitalist system - I mean something similar to what the US has now, where money is a Thing and producers sell to consumers, but the government steps in to regulate around negative externalities, prevent harm to consumers, and keep the economy stable.

What are your definitions of "free market systems" and "capitalism"?

We grow up on a diet spiced, on almost a daily basis, with some combination of cumin, coriander, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, pepper, onion, garlic, fenugreek, mustard, sesame, fennel - and many [1] other spices less or not known to the West or via "curry" (!) restaurants and YouTube cooks.

[1] For example, have you ever heard of mango ginger, karonda, mahani, green pepper, black cumin, white vs. black sesame, or long pepper, to name just a few of those, off the top of my head?

Betcha not, mostly ...

And we relish all( )spice (pun intended).
"Interestingly, the only thing stopping civilians from using the P code is the knowledge of the value of its chipping sequence. If the formula to generate the P code was publicly known, there’d be nothing stopping civilian GPS receivers from locking on to it, with the exact same techniques as are used for the C/A code."

I didn't finish reading the whole thing but was curious. Is there any way of brute forcing it or some other trick to get the chipping sequence to get the P code for more precise GPS?
Just tried it out. The script is able to handle multiple commands (GET, POST, etc) in one go, but you will have to package the payload as an array.

See https://github.com/ziolko/spreadapi/blob/master/spread-api.j...

As an example:

curl -L \
--data '[{ "method": "POST", "sheet": "Sheet1", "payload": { "username": "John", "age": 25 } }, { "method": "GET", "sheet": "Sheet1" }]' \
"https://script.google.com/macros/s/$APP_ID/exec"

A single curl request, that POSTs a user, and then GETs the data. So you can do multiple POSTs to add multiple rows too.

Till you have spent time with a text from one of the "eastern schools of thought" you might naively see them as "religion".

The problems is that they are more nuanced and complex than that. Hinduism, buhddism, Taoism are all lifestyles, thought processes, philosophys, self help, educational, informational... They dont fit in the neat little bucket that western thinking wants to put things in. This is one of those things that you wont find a satisfactory explanation for and needs to be experienced, consumed, lived rather than taught in a rote manner.

I highly recommend that you start with something like Sidhartha by Herman Hesse, and maybe the Tao of Pooh as just a primer on how different these things are. Getting past the surface of hinduism is going to be a battle that would require not only some reading but engaging with actual hindus (who are almost always happy to share).
I mean, bounds checking should really be caught by complete test coverage, shouldn't it? Or fuzzing? It doesn't address the more fundamental problem of cryptanalysis attacks, but it would definitely help mitigate the simple mistakes which can lead to exploitable implementations.
Not completely. It also means to disband something that currently exists, then recreate it, effectively reestablishing the board. You are paying attention to only one possible reading, which is the one not consistent with the truth. Citizen review boards exist in Florida. These currently functioning boards will have their power stripped immediately and members will be replaced with captive appointees. This is not creating citizen review boards, this is destroying them
I do understand the historical reasons. Javascript has been kind of the same for years, also because its usage exploded right at the beginning. I'm just saying that between the tools that we have today, if you take into account the ecosystem, Python is not my first choice, even if it's used a lot for AI/statistics. I hope the team you are talking about can pull it together. It would be nice to have one package manager/environment manager, especially for a language that has a philosophy of the "one obvious way" to do things.
Sounds like I’m learning Haskell soon.
Aside from enjoying going through these motions as a hobby, (which is totally fine), is there actually any reason to do this? There are so many ways and attack vectors through which your credit and tax info can be stolen that it just doesn't seem worth the effort.

I find it unfortunate, since I think async should be the default model for communication. Similar to message passing with shared memory as an optimization, I wonder if async messaging with sync messaging as an optimization is feasible. Async in general does make reasoning about the program more difficult.
Extra fun: We find most enterprise/gov graph analytics work only requires 1-2 attributes to go along with the graph index, and those attributes often are already numeric (time, $, ...) or can be dictionary-encoded as discussed here (categorical, ID, ...). The result is that even 'tough' billion scale graphs are fine on 1 gpu.

Ex: Most of our users are happy to do 100K-100M edges quickly on a single node, imagine a quick parquet read, so goes surprisingly far. For $0.5/hr, you can get 16GB of GPU RAM on aws, stuff in 100M+ edges comfortably, and have room to compute all sorts of things. With a more typical one, 1B is easy.

Early, but that's been the basic thinking into our new GFQL system: slice into the columns you want, and then do all the in-GPU traversals you want. In our V1, we keep things dataframe-native, including the in-GPU data representation, and we are now working on adding the first extensions to support on-the-fly switching to more graph-native indexing as needed.

I suspect it might not be an accident, but the AI made a mistake. I'm not the only one who notices strange content. Absurd crimes with absurd outcomes.
A series of articles about a fraud which side with the fraudster, and the comment page is filled with bots siding with the fraudster, even when you cite the law that is clearly at odds with their explanations (in a way that it shouldn't even be possible to commit such a fraud) they insist on "explaining" it to you.
> Well paid politicians do everything to get reelected rather than doing everything to increase general welfare.

Yes. Parent comment is literally completely backwards - we've seen from Wall Street that paying people extremely well leads to corruption.

High pay has the opposite effect. Things that work include oversight, transparency, audit logs, removal of human processes, active anti-corruption investigation, and the like.

> I don't see how you can do that in the US as there aren't ID cards or similar forms of universally available ID

You're speaking out of a position of extreme ignorance. There are ID cards - drivers' licenses and passports - that are near-universally available, and are regularly used as identification.
Number of European countries require safety to be engineered into the product. Example, where I work, a machine in automation had a risk assessment that it produced 1600 newtons of clamping force, same biting force of an adult panda, could take off limbs. This machine could be sold in the USA and not the Europe. Re-engineered to be safe and sold in Europe, machine cannot even take off a finger.

USA is poorly regulated to keep operators safe. Designing for European mark means you can market safer than the competition in USA and sell in Europe at the same time. This also remove the need to build in safety guards or use light curtains.

Which one would you or your family members like to use day-in day-out, the 1600 newton limb remover built on USA standards or the one built around safety for Europe?
Well, regardless of what it sounds like, they do exist. The wannabe autocrat is weakening them.

I do have to ask: are you actually claiming the total cost of the iranian attack was $1mm, or just posing a hypothetical? I can't find cost estimates for most of iran's missile portfolio, but this seems pretty low. the fixed wing drones are thought to have a unit cost around $50k, but that's with a pretty large error bar [0]. I'm having trouble finding unit cost estimates for their cruise and ballistic missiles, but it's a safe bet that the ones capable of reaching israel are at least 2-3x more expensive. even if the attack consisted 100% of those fixed wing drones, that would be at least $15mm just in expended munitions.

anyways, sure, spending 1000x the cost of incoming munitions on interception is not tenable if that's the entire conflict. but most conflicts don't consist of one party lobbing missiles while the other tries to shoot them down until someone runs out of money. it looks like that right now because the US is caught between supporting an ally, protecting freedom of navigation, and preventing further escalation in the region. the two carrier strike groups alone could do a lot more damage to iranian production and infrastructure than its military could in return. it's fortunate that no one wants that.

How do you suggest we make life fair? Some things you can make changes to equalize, but how are you going to equalize height or intelligence or something like that?
I think you misinterpreted what I mean.

I'm not saying that they can't be more capable, I'm saying the guy can get a little overly excited about things which are hard to measure or quantify.

We're observing these systems and making up our own interpretations about how good they are at certain tasks, but it's not really easy to measure how much better or worse these things can be overall.

Your example about language translation is a good example of where these things aren't really "better", just different. I speak multiple languages and while these systems are fantastic, they can fail in ways a professional translator wouldn't and it doesn't seem to automatically know it failed and should fix itself.

The car example is also great because it again proves my point. We can easily measure a car and a person and workout a car is faster, but we can also see that a car can't walk. So it's faster but it;s also entirely different.
I see. I used turbotax this year and it didn't require an internet connection except for: installing the latest updates and the actual e-file obviously.

Many sites do allow logging in with just an SMS OTP, no password required (even if you’ve set a password for the account). If it absolutely must be used (it shouldn’t), then SMS OTP should be a second factor, not the only factor.
"One of the items I ordered was Inconel-X, I received a 3-inch diameter cylindrical billet of the material and took it to the machine shop to have a 3-inch piece cut off to make a bearing. The shop foreman fired up a band saw and started to cut the billet. He only managed to make a small groove in the billet before the cutting action stopped. The Inconel-X had destroyed the saw teeth in just a few seconds. The foreman then tried a large power hacksaw. Those saw teeth also disappeared. I then foolishly suggested he try cutting a chunk off with a cutting torch. He fired up his cutting torch and within a couple minutes we had a billet of metal that looked like taffy."

So glad for news in this field! It's fairly underfunded, as the symptom is just like "tummy ache". No clearly visible suffering with a million possible causes.

During High School and Uni, I played violin in various restaurants a bunch. Close spaces, full volume to match a singing crowd. A year later of no active playing, suddenly I got 1 day of hearing loss on the left ear, followed by tinnitus after hearing restored on the side where the violin is played. E-String'ish tinnitus pitch. Loudly and constantly present, can't understand speech levels strong on the left ear.

That was beyond horrible and sacred the hell out of me. Straight up torture. I think of myself as mentally strong, but that put everything into perspective of how fragile my psyche is, if pushed just at the right spot.

ENTs got me on multiple rounds of steroid injections through the ear drum. Luckily it subsided within 2-3 months, though fully unclear if the steroids helped or not.
Only then I found out, you are supposed to use ear protection when playing violin, specialized musician's plugs that attenuate the volume a bit.

Each app also has its own private storage space as well at /data/data/<package name>/ which the end user cannot access even through adb. It's owned by the Unix user representing that app and has 700 perms so the `shell` user can't access it. While you can't access the directory directly, you can clear it in Settings -> Apps -> <app> -> Storage.
