Some wards with really sick people benefit from having longer shifts as you see the person progress and have fewer shift changes. Ie with 2 people doing 12 hr shifts is better than 3 people doing 8 hours shifts as the doctors and nurses see how a patient is doing and dont have to communicate to next shift. Something like ER where people come and go all day wouldn't benefit from this however.

>Has the quality of the average programmer dropped?

Yes and no. An average programmer today does not know nor care about size, speed, compatibility, portability, IRQ interrupts.. we needed to know how to manage all the things. However, back then there were no security bugs other than bypassing passwords and copy protection.
This should be illegal. Its just anti consumer and anti competitive practices abusing the regulatory system to seek rent.
Solar panels can sit in the sun without producing any power at all just fine. The sun will cause a voltage to develop on the solar panels output terminals, but if that voltage is not enough to cause current to flow, for example, because of battery charge controller is not drawing current, or because they’re not connected to anything, nothing bad happens.

I live in rural CO, and we get them pretty regularly. Extreme weather is pretty common out here, and the infrastructure isn’t as redundant for the mountain communities (I assume due to the cost/benefit ratio of building new lines).

It’s not just power - we had a forest fire one year that burned a microwave tower & killed our cell phones _and_ internet for a week. The local businesses struggled for a day or two, because no one really carries cash anymore.

I should add that kind of like the OP, I added an enphase LiFePO4 house battery and panels. They’ll keep critical loads running basically indefinitely, which has been a welcome change. We have gas heat, but I used to get nervous in the winter when the power went out (our boiler requires electricity to run).

You can 'run' a freezer for about 10-12 hours by purchasing 5-10$ worth of ice from a grocery store.

Your source says that the government sets (indirectly) a limit on the number of places at most public universities, but there are private, full-fee universities that are not so limited.

Internship slots, in turn, are set by disparate government agencies. They've climbed, but probably not climbed enough.

Compare to the US, where congress basically directly controls the number of residency slots and has failed to increase them really at all to keep up with increasing population and increasing need for medical services.

I feel as if some variant of this argument pops up constantly and it just comes down to definitions.

Inflation in almost all major economies does not represent the return rate at which your savings will maintain the same value from year to year.

I don't know what it does track - it seems that often there are "corrections" for people lowering their standards (e.g. buying cheaper/less meat, watching movies at home instead of in the cinema, etc).

To me that makes it kind of like some average of how much everyone is spending. I don't personally see any use in knowing that.

The big problem here is the breakdown in trust. If the government uses a figure for inflation that differs dramatically from what common Americans experience, the people conclude that the government is working against them instead of for them.

Many, perhaps most Americans have lost or are losing trust. The problem with this is where do people turn? Biden represents the government as manipulator. Where is the alternative? The truth is that in a choice between Biden and Trump many people have turned to Trump.

It is interesting in a sick way because the human reaction to betrayal is extremely strong. I find in myself a remarkable distaste for Biden. I find myself comparing Biden to President Snow. Not rational, but betrayal will do that to you.

And most concerning is that the problem is not really Biden or Trump. It is about corporations that have taken over our democracy. The most insightful question is: Cui Bono. Who benefits from the laws that are enacted? Corporations. Who uses the courts? Corporations because average citizens cannot afford a lawyer. [If you doubt this, ask yourself how much Microsoft owes in taxes to the American people]. And the Supreme Court? These are the people who decided that Corporations can buy and sell politicians and elections.

The disparity between the profits of Corporations and the daily lives of common American citizens is breathtaking. Who benefits from convincing Americans there is no inflation problem?
> So if anything, we should only include interest rates in proportion to how many people are taking out major loans during the sampled period

It goes both ways: in that case, we should also discount from CPI calculation the effect of sub-3% mortgages, low/zero interest auto loans, forgiven fraudulent PPP loans, etc.
> “Alternative measures of inflation that include borrowing costs” account for most of the gap between the experts’ rosy pictures and Americans’ skeptical assessment.

I think the article doesn't actually cover support for this (though I have not read the actual paper), because part of people's skepticism is not based in them doing a parallel calculation. Even people who aren't taking out a large loan often have the sense that inflation has been much worse than official sources state -- and I think part of it is related to cognitive biases where when we're shocked by the high price of a good, it becomes a salient example to us, and it skews our assessment of overall price increases. E.g. I've seen the recent stat that food prices have increased a total of ~25% since before the pandemic -- but if you have a few grocery items that you buy regularly that have doubled in price, you're likely to be skeptical of this.

I just discovered this book and have to say that I never expected to derive so much joy from looking at pictures of, say, cables.
I was walking over to the conference room where I’d agreed to demo a project at a huge convention. I saw other people with their laptops and card tables. Visitors would drop by and ask questions. Demonstrators would answer them and show how they worked. Piece of cake.

One of my friends casually mentioned that the A/V team had our podium set up. Podium? For what? So that you’ll have some place to set your laptop when you’re presenting the project to the large room we booked!

That’s how and when I found out I was giving a tech talk. It went well. Honestly, that’s about as much advance notice as I like. You can’t worry or procrastinate too much when you’ve got about 20 minutes to get ready.
Isn't that just Michael Ende's Momo but with extra steps?
It's more than just interest: 2022 just might have been the worst non-recession year in (modern, meaning years with acceptable stats) US economic history. Every tranche of net worth FRED tracks fell off a cliff that year, declining in (CPI, so we don't even need this competing metric to come to these conclusions) real terms by more than they did even during the 2020 recession [1], with the rich almost always losing more in absolute terms and the poor almost always losing more relative to their losses in 2020 [2]. If you look closely, you'll even notice that some of the rich lost more during these supposed business-as-usual days than they did during the 2008 meltdown of their moneymaking sector.

It's been pretty shocking to watch this happen, see the months roll on, and still hear basically no wideapread discussion on it in proportion to what has actually happened. We're coming up on two years of just not having an average of ~9% of our wealth we all worked hard to make from recovering from an economic equivalent of universal house arrest any more, and the best one can get a mainstream platform for is something like "possible cost of living concerns". Sure 2008 was worse for specifically the working class, but the working class are also much more sensitive to small changes in prosperity because they're not even in the same order of magnitude of diminishing returns (not to mention that it's pretty much as big a drop for them as the 2001 recession, which was also a quite painful time historically and was certainly seen as a moderate travesty before the perspective of 2008). How long can this dissatisfaction go on without starting a serious effort for acknowledgement and recovery?

The “one income household” model of the 50s worked for two reasons.

1) the rest of the world was in ruins, so for 50s-60s US was sole industrial power more or less.

2) artificial labor “scarcity” where POC and women were banned from many occupations. The remaining available labor (ie white men) had more leverage.

I would guess it was “shot down” because it is evidence that the user is not paying attention. After a rebase, git tells you that you need to force push. So a person would have to ignore that message, get distracted, and then try to pull when the changes they had previously made haven’t even been pushed. Then if that’s happening “over and over” (“frequently”) this person isn’t learning from the tool’s feedback on what to do and is instead just doing random things. I would suspect the git team is not fond of people doing random things and wanting them to change the tool to accommodate that.
> Certainly more accurate than “3.5%” bullshit the “free press” is asking us to believe.

Okay, because the air quotes and knee jerk dismissal annoy me...

The 3.x% being published is journalists repeating the reported CPI.

They are indeed still a free press, they're just dealing with people who don't on average understand how inflation measures are built, nor care.

Which is why there are articles that attempt to educate on that, whenever it comes to popular attention https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1197954369/two-indicators-bur... https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/cpi-consumer-price-...

If you wanted to air quote something, a "viewer-respecting" "intelligent" free press would be more accurately dismissive.
The "free press" is reporting BLS data. And BLS produces a CPI number based on a formula to act as an indicator, not an absolute measure. People tend to react to things they buy frequently which also happen to be the most volatile (food and fuel) and react less to things they actually spend most of their money on (shelter and transportation). CPI is a broad indicator and will never match the lived experiences of 350M individuals. Inflation can vary widely across a lot of dimensions including geography. Absolutely all of this data is available from the BLS. They only put CPI in headlines because it is meant to convey broad national trends in a bite-sized data point.
Israeli jets are entering Syrian airspace to engage the drones.
Because when there is no pilot, the airplane simply does not fly. Nobody dies, there is just an economic damage. But if there is no doctor, people still get ill, and then people die. Which makes it ethically easy to impose the one but not the other. And which is also the reason why pilots can go on strike, while the same is much more limited for any kind of (medical) care job.

The biggest gripe I have with Lego's creation of the 18+ tag is that the age suggestion now has more to do with who lego thinks will enjoy a set, rather than who is capable of building the set. Fans know what they can build, so the age suggestion in my mind was for parents who knew what properties their children enjoyed, but didnt know what their kids were capable of building. I still think that is the case for the other age ranges, but for 18+, I guess lego now thinks adults need to be told what is ok for them to buy. This is most apparent with the BTS set (https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=Bts), an 18+ set with simple building techniques targeting a brand mostly enjoyed by teenagers. Compare this to the Airbus heli (https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/airbus-h175-rescue-helico...) which is more aptly labelled at 11+ while having twice as many pieces and being a technic build.

>How do interest rates effect everyday people exactly, other than price inflation on goods and services (which is included separately in CPI)?

We artificially made interest rates low (look up open market operations). Low rates make risky ventures more financially attractive by making the DCF denominator smaller. People look to invest in growth instead of reliable revenue. That is, "bet on the future" becomes dramatically more attractive than "goods and services being made now". Additionally, it devalues wages and increases the value of financial assets. It's literally "rich get richer: the policy".

Anyone who is upset about NFTs millionares existing while EMS workers and teachers struggle, or upset about billionaires' staggering wealth inequality, or fraudulent do-nothing scam businesses like WeWork and Theranos, obviously stupid ventures like Juicero, or basically any economic upside-downness that most laypeople have recently come to blame on "capitalism" need look no further than LIRP and ZIRP. We snapped all the fingers of the invisible hand, but did it far upstream of anything that average people pay attention to. Anyone who wasn't paid in equity got fucking robbed over the last 20 years.

I don't really agree that interest should be included in CPI, but I do agree that CPI (and PCE) is an absolute joke that doesn't measure what it claims to.

Yep, exactly this. It is not really the stress that I hate, but rather the fact that it never ends. A bit of stress is okay, if you can take a break afterwards and relax. But what follows after the end of a sprint is another sprint.

Working with models like GPT-4 is frustrating from a traditional software engineering perspective because these systems are inherently unreliable and non-deterministic, which differs from most software tools that we use.

That doesn't mean they can't be incredibly useful - but it does mean you have to approach them in a bit of a different way, and design software around them that takes their unreliability into account.

Baiting and entrapment? Please. They used the API the way it was designed. The next thing, you'll be arguing that hot women in nice dresses are somehow "entrapping" their rapists.

If anything, their examples illustrate the kind of knowledge that can only be found in the NYT's original reporting. They focused on some events that only their newspaper covered well and the AI responded by plagiarizing the NYT's coverage, something that's part of its inherent design.

And I'm not talking about copyrighting everything. Nor is the NYT. Consider the opposite case where they have no way to force readers to pay them for their hard work. Is that the kind of world you want to live within?

I'm very happy to reward the artists and writers who make creations. I don't see anything wrong with giving them what anti-copyright people call a "monopoly." Why? Because I know that it pushes other people to create their own new knowledge for society and not skate through by simply plagiarizing.

Take your typical family of 4 living on 2 incomes today.

Are they living in a 1,500sf house (median size in 1960)? Without AC, no cable TV, no computers, 1 car, no exotic / organic foods except from the garden, few toys, 60’s era medicine. Do they actually repair or even make clothes? How about home repairs?

My mother was a teen in the 60’s and while objectively they were well above the median income for the time period in many ways they lived like extremely poor people do in 2024. Some of that was actually saving money for retirement, but mostly it was just far lower expectations.
