Except Volcker's interest rate hikes (far outstripping rate hikes recently) brought down inflation. If your model is that high interest rates beget inflation, then it is necessarily incomplete since it doesn't explain Volcker's success.

In fact, most empirical observation indicates the exact opposite.
> I'm too lazy to re-export all the older ones, so being able to run something like this on them would be perfect. I would be satisfied with a general area, roughly hitting the province/state its taken in. It doesn't have to be accurate at all, it's more for my own geo grouping.

I don't think this is even close to being accurate to be used in this way, out of ~10 images I uploaded it got one "correct" (right country, wrong city). Unless you want all your images to geo-tagged "Somewhere, US", probably better to re-export/re-import with your original metadata.
Fair point - perhaps we differ in our definition of "core hours". For us, core hours are a reserved period for our global team where people should be available for meetings and any important team discussions. This isn't a commitment to being at your desk and working those hours every day. We have many team members across Central and Eastern Europe who we trust to balance their work and life in a way that works for everyone.
There are a lot of options for tests. 15 years ago I found quest diagnostics price sheet online (it doesn't seem to be online anymore), at the time the lab cost to do your standard cholesterol measure (what most mean when they say blood work) was $1.10, but there was a long list of other things they could do, with the most expensive $18,000. (prices are from memory so probably wrong, but close enough for discussion)
How is outsourcing a cost saving? You have to pay for the shit, you make it sound like its somehow free. Logic does not checkout.
Who is the 'hot' employer now? OpenAI?
Boeing's on military welfare, like many companies. It has no need to actually produce civilian planes or make profits any more. So why not bump off whistleblowers? Anyway the era of air travel for the masses is coming to a close if you look at all the different plans being hatched to roll up environmental fees into flying which are designed to be unaffordable for ordinary people.

> 9% is low in three ways: lower than most western european countries, lower than many countries with a thriving IT

Same question as before:

where are you taking your stats?

Foreign born population in Italy is around 10% of the total, it is similar to similar countries in a similar position: France, Greece, Portugal.

We also do not count naturalized foreign-born and children born here, while other countries do.

But you're still missing the point: those millions of foreign born living in Italy have little to none tech literacy.

I have used the 9% measure because I assume that the remaining 1% are people who have some tech literacy.

In Germany there are (officially) 700 thousand Italians, unofficially it's 2 times that. They count in Germany as foreign born, but are highly educated immigrants, while immigration in Italy, given its geographical position, is mostly lower/no education immigrants.

> lower than many countries with a thriving IT industry

replace many with some. For example in UK officially 12.7% by the latest census data of 2011 of the population is foreign born, except they often times count as foreign born people born outside of the UK and their direct descendants. Which mostly is people from the former colonies. But also 6% of the total (or 50% of that 12% are people from the EU)

The foreign-born will include some people who are born abroad to UK citizen parents. However, it is usually still the preferred definition when using data on the migrant population, and especially change in the population over time.

Moreover, data on non-UK citizens also include many UK-born children of migrants who have themselves never migrated.

At the time of the UK census conducted in April 2001, 8.3 per cent of the country's population were foreign-born. This was substantially less than that of major immigration countries such as Australia (23 per cent), Canada (19.3 per cent) and the USA (12.3 per cent)

Wasn't UK already a tech hub in 2001? Am I wrong?

Last but not least, according to Statista Romanian annual average salary is around 20,000 (19,139) Euro while in Italy is 31,500 Euro.

Uno achieves similar goals to Xamarin.Forms/MAUI. It's also based on .NET.

Main differences are that it also targets Linux+WebAssembly, and it's meant to be Pixel-Perfect so it would look and behave the same on all platforms by default.

It also offers a variety of additional packages out of the box and aims to be an end-end platform instead of solely a UI framework: Hot Reload, C# Markup alternative, a toolkit of mobile-first controls, design systems, reactive state management (MVU-like), recipes for Authentication/Navigation/Logging/DI/...
Someone can correct me, but I think both China and South Korea now have worse demographics than Japan.

I didn’t compare Italy and Germany with Japan either.

Depends on who you count as employees - Sergey? Larry?
Plenty of companies are "employee owned" because the founders control the majority of shares. One person or a small group of people – whether they are employees or not – having total decision making power is the opposite of what worker collective means.
You're ignoring an alternative - you simply reduce borrowing as much as possible, even if that sacrifices expansion.

Hence why high interest rates suppress economic growth.
Isn't this what they are expected to be announcing next week at the press conference?
It appears to use the good old-fashioned technique of making the edges of each character have the same profile, so any two characters abut seamlessly. You can put your cursor on them to see this.

Also, when I want to know what some string is actually composed of, I like to copy-paste it into https://www.babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/whatisit.html

Edit: Sorry, I answered your question as though you had asked about joiner characters. Still, it appears not to use ligatures, as the characters appear not to change at all if you separate them.
> Endless statements about how much inflation hurts poor people(i.e. most Americans, who own very little inflation linked assets)

It's not about owning assets, it's about being able to afford food, fuel, housing, medicine, and basic savings.

Most Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck because our financial industry decided 45 years ago that it'd be awesome to have Americans pay interest on everyday purchases instead of just major purchases like their home, car, or business startup capital. Since this has also coincided with stagnant wages, that interest can't go much higher without the masses getting pissed off, and over the last 15 years, "pissed off" has escalated into mass demonstrations (Occupy Wall Street) and riots (2020, 2021).

At some point we're going to have to accept that you can't just direct the value created by an economy to equities indefinitely. You have to return an increasing amount of value to labor so that standards of living continue to rise. Raising interest rates won't do that.

In 2016 I was still a dropout and they did an interview with me. I also bombed it.

I have applied about a dozen times since then after getting my degree from WGU and they haven’t gotten back to me; I almost wonder if not putting any college experience on the resume was a blind spot for their filter.
Extreme wealth has a net negative impact on economy. Both because of direct impact but also politicians trying to please them with tax incentives and what not. Plus the insanity of a single person can disrupt a whole sector.
No amount of government surveillance not actually happening directly inside the minds of my abusers could possibly have protected me.

Any amount of government surveillance happening between me and my therapists simply re-victimizes me, doubling down again and again on that previous failure of trust.

Anyone promulgating these idiot “won’t anyone think of the children” laws isn’t actually thinking of the children impacted by CSA, never mind the adults those children (at least the ones that survive) become.
Right, so what you really mean is urban vs highway driving. In self driving, urban driving is considered much more challenging precisely because of the characteristics you listed. That's why you see Waymo only now dipping into highway driving because the primary taxi market is all inside busy cities.
In all x86 this is an instruction that typically takes 3 clock cycles (latency) with 1 clock cycle throughput. That’s as constant time as you get.

Even if that were false, it’s O(k) where k is the number of bits, which is constant. However, in that case it might be slower than the alternatives.
Are you sure / do you have specific Japanese knowledge?

My gut assumption, not having Japanese knowledge, was always that the production needs of WWII incentivized their mixed commercial -residential system.

It does seem that a mixed commercial -residential system would work better with a conscientious of neighbors society, but the zoning itself is also key

Hey everyone! I am Shashank, a data, cloud and backend engineer with 8 years of experience. Currently, I am working at an Ad Tech security company where I specialise in building backend APIs, ETL pipelines, working on security tools, overhauling our architecture and deployment processes, and managing a small team on the enterprise vertical. Prior to this, I was a founding engineer and data engineer at a DeFI based music startup, where I single-handedly built the entire backend & data infrastructure, frontend dashboards, analytics and reporting system and most of the company's products. I also built the entire payments platform that empowered music artists by using Stripe Treasury to land actual USD payments in their bank accounts and led the engineering team to success.

Throughout my 8-year career, I have gained extensive experience in delivering products from concept to launch, designing architecture, product & infrastructure planning, and managing small teams.

I have been working fully remotely for New York based companies since the past 5 years from India and Europe(as a digital nomad). I am open to fully remote roles as well as onsite/hybrid if visa sponsorship is available.

Feel free to reach out to me for part-time work as well and my rates are negotiable.
> [...] meaning there will always be rigid syntax within lisp (its parentheses or the fact that it needs to have characters that tell lisp to read ahead).

They are talking about CL reader macros here. You can use a different tokenizer in CL with reader macros, but you have to use an expression in the read table to say that you're switching tokenizers. It seems like in Cognition you can call a function and that will switch tokenizers in the callers context.
Exploring "War and Peace" with Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro: A Neo4j Graph Rep
I used Google AI Studio and the Gemini 1.5 Pro preview to analyze the classic novel “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy in this PoC. The novel’s complex plot, numerous characters, and philosophical digressions make it an excellent choice for testing Gemini’s long-context understanding capabilities.
That's not what people say when the daily poster in r/dotnet asks what framework they should use for a GUI app.

> net trading revenues of $4.4bn in the first quarter

That's a lot of money for someone who is essentially a middle-man. What a grift, about 13 dollars for each average American lost out to them a quarter.
"without political institutions or hierarchical government;"

Think when trying to translate a society to a corporation, then each of the terms must also be translated.

For a 'society' there is a government. And politics is dealing with the government policies, how we come up with rules.

But, if you want to translate to a corporation, you can't just say it doesn't have 'government and politics' because the corporation isn't dealing with the larger society. You need to also scale down the terms,

The CEO and the Hierarchy of bosses, are the 'Government' and 'political institutions' are the departments like HR, Marketing, and between them there are 'politics'.

There is no real 'anarchy' like individuals having freedom to 'just work on what they feel like'.
> We’ve seen so many search engines launch with hype about it being the latest and greatest “Google killer” (Blekko, Cuil, Neeva, et al.) – then ultimately fail.

Never even heard of those, to be honest. A quick HN search shows that they're ancient history. While the point is mostly valid, what was true even a few years ago is not necessarily true now. Timing isn't everything, but it comes pretty close.

I'm not saying I have faith that OpenAI will be a meaningful search competitor to The Google, but that this is a case where the past may be even less likely to predict the future than it was already capable of.

If, however, OpenAI invents a search that is not only smarter than The Google but better respects my desire to FTS the world-wide web, they will have my money. I'm a happy early adopter of Kagi, but they are clearly limited by whomever they buy their index from.

> The reality? Google Search is always the real killer.

This is largely a product of history and doesn't necessarily reflect whether The Google's search is indeed a "killer." If the search was launched today, it wouldn't be seen as particularly impressive. The Google was one of the earliest to market back when page "ranking" techniques mattered more and rode that "we're the cool/benevolent guys" image to the point that their search engine and other products are the default on bajillions of devices worldwide. It's a killer in the sense of ubiquity, but killers usually invite being killed themselves somewhere down the line.
OpenAI to Launch Search Engine
Ethics is absent in the minds of the people building and financing this. AI is about wholesale value extraction and destruction of competition done by the ecosystem of small startups repackaging AI APIs. Those APIs will be turned off once ad revenue starts flowing into the bank accounts of AI API providers.
This will make Google the new Nokia.

Especially since chatgpt has a paid plan, so they don’t need to care about adding ads to the results.
It's my hope as well that maybe a new upgradeable standard for mini-PCs comes about. But keep in mind, Linux doesn't care much if the hardware configuration changes. One could conceivably just move their SSD and other drives to a new mini PC and have a brand new system running their old OS setup. If only Microsoft were so accommodating. The added benefit being how useful a mini PC can be over an old tower. Just buy a cheap SSD and: Give it to grandma; turn it into a NAS; use it as a home automation hub; use it as a TV media center; any number of other possibilities that a small form factor would allow. All things that were possible with an old tower PC, but far less convenient. And now that we're on a pretty stable software performance plateau (when we don't throw in browsers), newer chips can conceivably last much longer, decades, even.
just used it a few days ago, the quality is honestly subpar.

I use chrome's extension 'read aloud', which is as natural as you can get.

Huh? Isn't Apple pro-JPEG XL?
Well, if you can't understand, why such strong opinions?

Read up about basics of nutrition, about how poverty and obesity are correlated, what "food deserts" are, the differences between processed and healthy foods, etc.
The people who would be valuable in that role, namely highly trained scientists, mostly aren't interested in what's effectively a suicide mission. They have better options and things they're tied down to on Earth.
thanks, I could not find this one but I was almost sure it was only a 3D photoscan of the body since they mostly talk about moles and skin.

The article is really hard to read if you don't care about storyselling...oops, storytelling.
It's popular with middle class suburban families. So, snobs (who don't realize that's what they are) like to sneer at it to demonstrate their sophistication.
Assuming there is a development that makes GPUs obsolete, I think it's safe to assume that what will replace them at scale will still take the form dedicated AI card/rack

1. Tight integration necessary for fundamental compute constraints like memory latency.

2. Economies of scale

3. Opportunity cost to AI orgs. Meta, OpenAI etc want 50k h100s to arrive in shipping container and plug in so they can focus on their value-add.

Everyone will have to readjust to this paradigm. Even if next get AI runs better on CPU, Intel won't suddenly be signing contracts to sell 1,000,000 xeons and 1,000,000 motherboards etc

Also, Nvidia have 25bn cash in hand and almost 10 billion yearly r&d spend. They've been an AI-first company for over a decade now, they're more prepared to pivot than anyone else

Edit: nearly forgot - Nvidia can issue 5% new stocks and raise 100B like it's nothing.
OpenAI is about to go after Google search. This could be the most serious threat Google has ever faced.

The FDA approved it via accelerated approval. The intent being "allow access to promising medicine while additional data is collected".

Depends on the strip club prices in those countries I guess.
I could understand that for the code/theme side of things, but they still seem like the best site for things like source graphic templates, logos, after effects/premiere pro video files, etc. I feel like that's going to suffer the most from this acquisition. That's what I use for my side projects.
>> I feel like that is really a case of Chesterton's fence. It was done by people who litterally wrote the book on processor design

It was originally intended for use in education where students could design their own processors and fixed instruction sizes made that easier. I'm not saying "therefore it's suboptimal", just that there were objectives that might conflict with an optimal design.

>> > What that means exactly is still a bit fuzzy, but I am a fan of immediate data being stored after the opcode.

>> As a hobbyist, I get it... but except for when you are reading binary dumps directly, which happens so rarely these days, when is that ever relevant?

How about in a linker, where addresses have to be filled in by automated tools? Sure, once the weirdness is dealt with in code its "done" but it's still an unnecessarily complex operation. Also IIRC there is no way to encode a 64bit constant, it has to be read from memory.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's a near optimal instruction encoding. I'd like to see some people try. Oh, and Qualcomm seems to disagree with it but for reasons that may not be as important as they think (I'm not qualified to say).
I'm talking about real costs. The government doesn't lose money by guaranteeing loans (in fact they make money, which is a totally different — but reasonable —argument against the current setup). I assume you mean opportunity costs as in "what else could the govt fund" with that money; if that's your claim, it again belies a misunderstanding of what's going on. You seem to have created this false narrative in your head that doesn't reflect reality.

There is much research, especially in behavioral economics, that shows that more objective decisions can be made by creating systems that facilitate more rational decisions. So my current position is that we should set up systems/institutions to foster those better decisions rather than push everything down to the individual, given the complexities of modern life. So to directly answer your question, there's decades of research that shows individuals aren't great at making rational decisions at the individual level. It's also interesting that you simultaneously seem to claim the "state" should make decisions, but also that institutions don't know what's better than individuals. It doesn't make for a very cohesive take.

I do it the whole time with bing Copilot. Didn't visit Google to search for my daily questions like for several months. It feels so outdated to search for a proper result in old goog.

So actually, what Copilot does is to prefilter and condense results. If I like it and it seems legit, it's enough to get my answers. Sometimes I take up the source. Most of the times I reprompt Copilot to list me alternatives and find errors in them. That discloses erroneous things like contradictions enough.

But what's more useful is "how can I mix up two dictionaries with different keys one by one into a set."... 20 seconds later, I can read how and don't have to search SO for whole 20 minutes of reading.

But yes, it will impose the same changes as Google did. Before Google, you should know where you get the information needed or already have it in your hrad/learned. After Google, you don't have to. So everyone changed into stupid mode but being way more productive. So, I fear, that's the next wave of stupid:)
