I've heard of these, they sound amazing!

We get the odd Hercules moth in our backyard. Doesn't look anything like a bird close up, but it's so massive that when they get stuck in the house your first thought is that it's a bird or bat.

Another cool thing we get is jumping spiders that imitate ants so they can hunt them - both green ants (an endemic weaver ant we get here) and another large metallic silver ant species I don't know a lot about. The spiders share the colouring of each species and walk backwards amongst them - their walking style changes and the abdomen looks like the head of the ant. They're rare, I've only observed them a couple of times over the years here, but it's wild to watch them do their thing.

> What’s growing is spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. As you can see in the above chart, the CBO sees spending on “major health care programs” (including Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare subsidies) growing from 6.3 percent of GDP in 2024 to 9.8 percent of GDP in 2054; Social Security is set to grow from 5.2 percent of GDP in 2024 to 5.9 percent of GDP in 2054.

The US refuses to do many things that would save it money in the long run. Complete universal healthcare would save money and would enable more entrepreneurs as the US claims to love small business. Mitt Romney knows this and that is why Massachusetts has the best Medicaid coverage and why he wanted to take his Massachusetts plan to the federal level.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. Most people never do that stuff. Then a small subset of people left very rarely do it, maybe once a year or so. And then an even smaller subset does it regularly. If you're not in group 3, you're wasting your time.

> So why would you buy a car with 5 seats by your own logic?

By my own logic, there's no downside to having 5 seats. I mean, it costs nothing. Coupes are certainly not cheaper nor more efficient. If I was paying 30,000 dollars for those extra two seats I rarely use then yes, I WOULD think about it more carefully.

> others had fun outside.

Aaaand there it is. I said something about people being irrational consumers, and now it's become an attack.

Look, I'm not attacking you. If you feel you need a truck more power to you. I'm just observing the actions of average Americans, who ARE largely very irrational consumers.

I've known many people who own trucks and many who own SUVs, including 5 seat crossover SUVs. Out of almost everyone I have met, none of them need those vehicles and bought them for truly no reason. Well, not no reason. Because the TV said so and they want to look cool, and they like feeling like they own the road a bit more etc etc.

But if I ask them why they bought those vehicles, of course they won't say that. They'll say it's because they need them, which is just a lie. That's called justifying a purchase, and everyone does it all the time. Because of advertisement, most people are deeply irrational consumers.

Exhibit B: talk to some people about lab-grown diamonds. They're molecularly identical, but people sure don't want to accept they paid 5x more for nothing. Maybe this one you'll grasp a bit better, because I'm assuming you're a man so you're advertised less to when it comes to diamonds and jewelry so in that area you may be a less irrational consumer. But when you get a chance, survey some random women on it and then come back and tell me advertising doesn't manipulate the mind.

Your opinion, not theirs. The CCP has repeatedly promised to "reunify" China. If they can't do that, then they fail the bar they've set for themselves. And they wouldn't be making, and repeatedly reiterating, this promise if it wasn't taken seriously by the Chinese people.
Most of the mistakes I see are things like restaurants charging more than what was on the bill, and if you paid with a credit card, these are usually very easy to dispute. From actual banks, I haven't seen any problems, and yes I check whether the interest and dividend payouts are correct--they always are.

The article here is about banks defaulting customers to low-yield sweep accounts, but it doesn't look like they are actually under-paying interest. The accounts just don't pay a lot of interest. Honestly, the customer should know how much interest their sweep account pays and move that money to higher interest accounts if that's important to them. Whenever I put cash in a brokerage that I'm not going to use for a while, I always take the time to move it from the cash sweep account to an interest-bearing account. Buyer beware!

There was a surplus in the last year of the Clinton presidency, so I presume he's referring to George W Bush. There was also the whole 9/11 and War on Terror thing in the first year of his presidency though, so it's hardly a fair comparison. Gore would have blown his budget if he'd won too.

Largely speaking democrat administrations reduce the deficit while republican administrations increase the deficit, despite this being the polar opposite of political talking points.

I don't really think its that simple. There can be situations where debt is a good idea, and there can be situations where debt is a bad idea.

In ~2010, debt financing was incredibly cheap, so if the USA was able to take out debt at that time and use it for productive economic growth that paid more than the financing cost, it would have been a good investment.

The problem in my eyes isn't really that the USA took on debt when it was cheap, the problem was that:

1. it took out so much debt that now as those debts mature, they can't be paid off without taking on newer, much more expensive debts (and instead of treating that borrowing behaviour as temporary/uncertain, the government learned to treat it as a integral part of its budget).

2. the investments the USA made with that debt might not have been very smart investments. There's a huge amount of crumbling infrastructure in the USA that should have been prime targets for replacement in the era of low-cost debt, that are now going to be incredibly painful to maintain or replace, and aren't really optional. Yes, the USA did invest in a lot of things that boosted the GDP, but it's not really clear (to me at least) that the increase of economic activity was particularly productive, useful, or sustainable.
Banks calculate risk by looking at data, and there is far less of it for coops. And they are often irrational actors.
I think I first heard Biden say, "don't tell me what you believe, show me your budget and I'll tell you what you believe". He perhaps got it from Ted Kennedy who I doubt was the first person to say it, but I've just found it to be one of the simplest ways to cut through BS. Talk is cheap; doing the work is not. And as you say, when you look at the US budget deficit through the last half century, it's quite clear that the party that claims the mantle of fiscal responsibility it not on the level.

I would take any story from reddit with a huge grain of salt, but even if this case is not real there are real AI generated books that pretend to be real books, and mycology books in particular have had attention brought to them due to the dangers inherent to the misinformation they may contain.
It makes sense for interest rates to go down when the reserve rate is cut. That means there are more dollars to buy bonds with pushing up the price and lowering the yield (the inverse relationship between price and yield is a mathematical identity). Eurodollar rates are routinely lower than us dollar rates, and they don't have any reserve requirements.
This is the kind of thing that can easily devolve into a semantic argument. React presents an immediate mode like API but internally (both in the virtual DOM of React and within the actual DOM of the HTML document) the actual rendering path is very much retained mode.

The specific thread we are in isn't related to the benefits/drawbacks of API design but rather the performance implications of re-rendering the entire scene on every frame. As you mentioned, React doesn't re-render on every frame and therefore isn't really relevant to that discussion.

I was there (and then) living across different European countries in the 90s and IBM compatibles were the de facto computing standard followed by niche products like the Amiga which had a dedicated following, mostly hobbyists.

I really think it’s much less insidious than you are making it out to be. Fracking means America has access to cheap natural gas so no one has worried about energy security in the last two decades so few are pushing for green energy subsidies. This is just politicians doing what their constituents want. China on the other hand has extremely limited oil so green tech has been a top national security priority.
>> A huge share of the US debt is held by the government itself, in vehicles like the trust funds of Social Security and Medicare. Still more was purchased by the Federal Reserve as part of its “quantitative easing” programs to fight the Great Recession and the Covid downturn.

>> Thus, it’s money that the federal government owes to itself. That makes it fairly unimportant, economically; it doesn’t actually limit the resources available to the government.

These are very common misunderstandings. The money borrowed from the trust funds are real debt that needs to be repaid. In particular when the boomers retire and the net flow of money is OUT of the funds rather than IN. Up until now, congress has happily spent that net inflow and now they owe it back which makes them hate social security. One politician was claiming its not "real" debt in some way and was corrected by someone at the Federal Reserve who insisted it's as real as any debt purchased by anyone else. Which brings us to the Fed - that's not the government borrowing from itself as the author says. The Fed might be OK with lending at lower rates than the treasury can get otherwise, but they aren't offering an infinite trough for congress to spend - only an emergency bandage.
From what I've seen not only are they taking it from otherwise productive components of the economy they tend to produce and encourage economic actors that are a net loss themselves.

We'd probably see much higher GDP (after a short period of readjustment) if the spending was stopped cold turkey.
You might get promoted to CISO if you can come up with a creative way to quantify the risk. Risk management frameworks can communicate how the impact, likelihood, and possible responses would play out in dollar amounts. With a few proposed ideas for how different risk mitigations would affect the resulting residual risk, non-technical people may be able to adopt your vision for securing the enterprise.

Yes, it also means doing basic things like saying "security is important", "vulnerabilities are bad", and "supply chain risk should be addressed", etc. The more informed you are, the more of a pain this is, at least in my experience (disclaimer: I'm not a CISO).
In my experience, the trick is to not exercise. Get a hobby that involves physical movement. I collect such hobbies, and the only time I actually exercise it's because I've pulled a muscle or something and need to do rehab exercises.

You probably won't pull your muscles as often as I do if you get yourself some safer hobbies than the ones I've picked, but hey, no accounting for taste, right?
> TS astronauts, left unchecked, can make extremely complex types using generics, conditionals, and all the esoteric features of TS, resulting in extremely obtuse code.

Disclaimer: I guess I'm a fellow TS astronaut.

Most of the time TS astronauts will stick to your methodology of keeping things simple. Everyone likes simple, I think.

However, the type-austronautics is necessary once you need to type some JS with some really strange calling conventions/contracts (think complex config objects inputs, or heterogenous outputs that end up with _not quite the same_ call signatures, using large objects trees for control flow, etc; basically really shit code that arises from JS being a very dynamic language) without modifying the interfaces themselves. Sure you can be a bit lenient, but that makes the code unsound and crates a false sense of security until the inevitable runtime bug happens.

The correct solution would be to refactor the code, but that's not always possible. Especially if your manager was the author of said magnum anus—apologies, I meant magnum opus—and sabotages any attempts at refactoring.

I guess the moral hiding in this anecdote is that I should looking for a new job.
As if interest rate was the only important variable when evaluating bank accounts. Banks have plenty of ways to make money on unaware customers - or rather, to make it expensive in time and effort to avoid losing money on things like transaction fees, account fees, card fees, etc., many of which are waived if you deposit and/or spend the right amount of money in the right order through the right financial instrument in the right cadence.

(Not to mention, every bank has a godawful shitty app, and there's some serious opportunity cost in learning how to cope with the new kinds of shittiness of your new bank.)

This is why generative AI simply doesn't work for anything with actual consequences. As it is right now, it's a glorified autocomplete, and one that doesn't understand the context it's being used in at all.

An interesting use of Knowledge Graphs is doing research into historic document, such when doing genealogical research or researching into some historic event, person or location. In those applications, you often have that sources do not have direct references (a person name in one document cannot always be identified with with 100% certainty) or are contradicting each other (one source gives a different date than another). In this case another layer is needed. There is some need for attaching a source identification, the actual document (scans), an author and/or an authority to a source. In case you are extracting information from historical documents, it might be needed to transcribe the contents and in that case it would be nice to be able to mark parts of the text, to quickly verify the source of a fact.

I have not yet found an application that combines all those functions and I have been considering to build one myself.
You missed the point of my previous comment, so I'll be more explicit and blunt: if Valve doesn't care enough to prepare an NDA, why do you care? Why is it making everybody so mad? This is what Valve chose and they knew damned well what would happen. Not "could", but "would." I worked in gaming, too, once upon a time. These things are predictable.
Why wouldn't kids play on the street? What the hell. Should they never leave the boundaries of a building and its garden? I was running and biking all around local forests by myself when I was 10, and my children will do the same. They have a phone, so I am not worried they will hurt themselves without the ability to call me. And they keep posting nice photos to our Telegram group, so I even roughly know what's happening.

Yes, I'm implying that a 9 year old is mature enough to be online - if they have guidance and trust their parent. And yes, children are never too young to start trying out things - again, with guidance and a trusted parent, but that doesn't mean constant oversight. You teach children to look both ways before crossing a road, watch them do it for some time, and then you let them go to school by themselves. I don't understand how are they supposed to develop responsibility and self reliance if there's constantly someone watching.

Seems like your idea of responsible is my idea of sheltered.
It makes sense to go into debt to get out of a recession, like the 2008 one. But then during the good times of the economy, we should have been working on paying the debt; instead, we blew it and just took out even more debt.
The problem is pretty serious, not an esoteric theoretically exploitable vulnerability, but a gaping hole. From the abstract:

This backdoor enables any entity with knowledge of it to compromise all user-defined keys on these cards without prior knowledge, simply by accessing the card for a few minutes.
