>...And he's again been vindicated.

Saying that Krugman was vindicated is quite a stretch. As the economist Noah Smith wrote:

>...In 2021, Krugman tweeted: "I like it and plan to steal it. This report does look like what you'd expect if recent inflation was about transitory disruptions, not stagflation redux".

As Smith pointed out:

>...But in late 2021, inflation spread to become very broad-based. Services inflation was always significant, and took over from goods inflation as the main contributor in 2022.

>The notion that this was just some transient supply-chain disruptions that was only affecting specific products was absolutely central to Team Transitory’s claims in the summer of 2021. And that was incorrect.

>...Team Transitory also called the end of the inflation at least a year and a half too soon.

On October 13, 2021 Krugman tweeted "Three month core inflation. Why isn't everyone calling this a victory for team transitory"

>...So they didn’t entirely whiff here. They just greatly overstated their case. And their complacency in 2021 probably fed into the Fed’s decision to delay the start of rate hikes until 2022, which in retrospect looks like a serious mistake.

What did get vindicated was mainstream economics as taught in our textbooks. As Smith wrote:

>...Mainstream macro’s first victory was in predicting that the inflation would happen in the first place. In February 2021, Olivier Blanchard used a very simple “output gap” model to predict that Biden’s Covid relief bill would raise demand by enough to show up in the inflation numbers. His prediction came true. He didn’t get everything right — he thought wages would rise more than consumer prices, and he neglected the lagged effects of Trump’s Covid relief packages and Fed lending programs. But his standard simple mainstream model got the basic prediction right when most people made the opposite prediction, and this deserves recognition.

>More importantly, mainstream macro appears to have gotten policy right.

Any microphone / headphone combination will work.

In fact a directional microphone paired to a reference quality headphone would work very well. No need to use a phone in the middle either, many options for little dedicated amplifiers that would be easier to use.

> Was it linked dynamically? Static linking to an LGPL library from a proprietary application is also possible, but way trickier.

For a "shared source" app (i.e. source available but under restrictive non-open source terms), static linking is generally a non-issue, provided you give people permission to recompile the app from source with a modified library version, and you actually built the binaries you ship from the source you provide them (as opposed to some separate internal repo containing changes missing in the source you provide to your customers or the public). So, WinAmp currently would not be infringing even if it were statically linking modified LGPL libraries (assuming their source repo includes the source to the modifications) – although this may be evidence of past non-compliance.

Static linking is really only a big problem for proprietary apps where you don't give people the source code. Even there, so long as you ship them object files so they can relink it with an updated LGPL library version, you are fine. Once upon a time, linking at the customer site was not an uncommon strategy for enterprise software, in fact last time I worked with Oracle RDBMS (7+ years ago) it was still using that strategy for a standard install.

For LGPL 2.1, you don't even need to ship the object files or offer them for download – you just need to make an offer, valid for at least 3 years, [0] to supply them on request. LGPL 3.0 removed that provision, with LGPL 3.0 you have to either ship them or offer them as a separate download.

[0] I believe the "3 years" is from the date you ship each individual copy of the software. So if you released version 1.0 in 2001, and it contained a "valid for 3 years offer", if you are still offering version 1.0 for download from your website in 2024, that offer is valid until 2027 for someone who downloads it today. But if you removed version 1.0 from your website in 2005, and since then have not given anyone a copy, then the offer would have expired in 2008.

This is an interesting wikipedia page - if you poke around, it looks like it's effectively the work of a single author who decided this should be a wikipedia page for whatever reason and then made it happen. A kind of vanity page but not (seemingly) a self-related one. It's not at all clear from googling that this general term is widely used in English for this very specific thing, developed and researched by what appears to be one key researcher. Maybe chemistry people know/can say more?

It was someone's career, clearly, but most people's careers don't have or need Wikipedia pages.

That is so true but funny in light of the fact that Bitcoin does (did) scale perfectly well to Visa-like levels of transactions. The ONLY problem with Bitcoin scaling is the for profit company, Blockstream, having hijacked the GitHub repo and injected hacks like RBF and Segwit.

The original Bitcoin (Bitcoin Cash) still works and scales totally fine.

An article about a paradigm shift due to astrobiology (or at least, framed as that) and not one mention of assembly theory. The article is actually about some culty sounding amorphous phrase called "the planetary." Here's a quote:

> The planetary is a new ‘cosmology’ — emerging as an alternative to the social, cultural and political-economic orders of global modernity.”

Hogwash.

There is some interesting stuff in there though. Something about biospheres maturing enough to form feedback loops to maintain habitability. Somehow still racing towards collapse though even in light of that. There's also some stuff about self organization and intelligence being innate to natural processes, which I think is probably true.

Ask HN: Next.js and Python Backend?
Given that python is leading the charge in terms of ML/LLMs, I still want modern react features ( next.js) - what are best practices around combining the two?
https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/16/24271632/amazon-kindle-c...

"The Colorsoft is based on E Ink’s Kaleido technology but uses an entirely new display stack for Kindles, all the way back to a newly designed oxide backplane that makes it easier for E Ink panel’s tiny bits of ink to move around quickly. The E Ink world has been working on similar tech for a while, and Amazon thinks it’s the key to making color work well. The Colorsoft has new LED pixels, and a new way of shining light through them individually to enhance colors. It’s also brighter than ever, to help the whole thing feel more vivid. Some of this tech also helped the new Paperwhite turn pages faster and easier, but it was designed to make Colorsoft work."

https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/kindle-color-specs-...

"...Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition packs a suite of innovations that make every hue and shade pop.

Those include custom formulated coatings between the display layers to enhance the color, a light guide with micro-deflectors to minimize stray light, and an ultra-thin coating in the display stack to improve optical performance. We built the display on an oxide backplane for sharper contrast, faster page turns, and better image quality."

Supporters of Palestinians, especially activists and students on campuses, in the West are not interested in the two-state solution. This position aligns with Arabs, who don't want a Jewish state in the Middle East. Hamas says it directly; others are not so direct, but one can infer their position through their actions.

One can say 'give voice and agency to those who want to make peace with the two-state solution'; then, make peace with these groups. I am not so confident on this adventure. Even the late Prof. Edward Said, who every postcolonial and postmodernist professor and student adore and worship, wanted a bi-national Israeli-Palestinian state, a variety of the one-state solution. Look at some version of a bi/tri-nationalism in the neighboring Lebanon: Hezbollah dictates the Lebanese govt.

That's the infamous Ender's Game school of warfare, there's a reason that book used to be handed out at US military academies. Extremely relevant essay:

https://johnjosephkessel.wixsite.com/kessel-website/creating...

Stryka’s concern for the genocide of the buggers, which might be interpreted as arising out of a concern for the humanity of the “other,” is presented instead as an example of scapegoating the “other”—but in this case the other is redefined as the exterminator, not the exterminated. This is a very clever stratagem: those of us concerned about understanding the “other” are redirected from worrying about the alien to worrying about the killer of the alien, and thus our condemnation of genocide reemerges as a sign of our prejudice and small-mindedness. Ender is not the victimizer, but the misunderstood victim of others’ fear and prejudice.

I included stats in my post acknowledging the existence of murder in the United States. To your point, if Trump decided to flee to Mexico to escape the violence, I don't believe dems would gloss over that.

I would applaud Buenos Aires if they made a compassionate allowance for hypothetical people fleeing Chicago violence.

cool, so you hire one for 2x the the price of a full time one for 1 week per month. 12 weeks * 2x price < 52 weeks * 1x the price.

I've done this job for a 3-4 startups before. they can't afford a full time engineer, so they hire someone to work part-time to keep the lights on. its not a hard job and many engineers appreciate the consistent work and extra cash.
At the time, there were no people of very high ranks. I also queued office only which didn't help.

In hindsight, the fact that Palatir went to Airbus meant that the fix was in and it was already decided that Boeing was going down. Or for the less cynical, it was Palantir's magic that made Airbus successful and if Boeing were competent they would have hired Palantir.
These are good points, but to the viewer, the effect isn't really that different: in both cases, you're seeing something that 1) isn't the information you're looking for, 2) is "polluting" your screen space (i.e. getting in the way of what you are trying to look at), and 3) is asking for money in some way (whether directly in the form of a donation request, or indirectly in the form of a 3rd-party ad trying to get you to go somewhere and purchase something).
No, light doesn't travel in straight lines.

Stronger gravity around massive objects causes slow down of the part of a light wave closer to object, compared to outer part.

This difference in speed, caused by _interaction_ between the photon and gravitational field of the body, results in the bending of the light's trajectory.

Bending of spacetime is just a simplification of this process to model that easier.

Khelo: Open-Source App for Cricket Team Management Built with Flutter
Hi HN community,

We’re excited to introduce Khelo, an open-source, multi-platform app developed by our team at Canopas, using Flutter, Firebase, and Riverpod. Khelo is designed to help cricket teams—whether casual or competitive—manage players, track performance, and record match data effortlessly.

Key Features:

Team and Player Management: Easily create teams, manage player profiles, and track statistics.
Match Data Recording: Record toss results, scores, and detailed player statistics for every match.
Performance Tracking: Monitor individual player performances over time and view team-level insights.
Cross-Platform: Available on both Android and iOS, powered by Flutter for a consistent user experience across devices.

Why We Built Khelo:
At Canopas, we're passionate about cricket and leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. We noticed a gap in tools for cricket team management, especially for local teams and amateur clubs, so we built Khelo to provide a simple and effective solution.

However, we would greatly appreciate any feedback on the app or the code, and if you find it useful, please consider giving the repo a star!

Check out the repo here: https://github.com/canopas/khelo

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Even if it does break the loop, it would always be named as started by a 'creator' or an initiator. And also the AI will require power source to maintain itself which will be provided by creatures outside it's system.

The AI is the head of that causal chain. It required all of that, including human brains, to come into existence.
A really interesting review. The idea of relative error makes sense in most cases, but when we need to do subtraction and difference matters, maybe absolute error is actually better.
I hope that once they get a baseline level of AI functionality in, they start working with larger LLMs to enable some form of RAG... that might be their next generational shift.
This is really nice approach. We are doing some nonlinear system id, and faced with this kinda problem (not irregular spacing but low sample rate and noisy). Definitely will check it out.

No, definitely not. I have no inherent reason to trust the people working at the Internet Archive over let's say close friend. For me trust is always a human to human concept, and no amount of tech or institutions will change that.

The more people I hear making a claim, the more I'm likely to deem the claim(s) as true. This is even true regarding the claims that cryptographic algorithms have the properties that make them useful in these contexts. I say this as someone who has even taken graduate level classes with Ron Rivest.

I'm not sure what will happen in a court. I imagine the more people that start making claims using cryptography as part of the supporting evidence, the more likely people will start to trust cryptography as a useful tool for resolving disputes about the veracity of claims.

So you would not get any value from multiple people making such claims?

The correct way to make a true "NPU" is to 10x your memory bandwidth and feed a regular old multicore CPU with SIMD/vector instructions (and maybe a matrix multiply unit).

Most of these small NPUs are actually made for CNNs and other models where "stream data through weights" applies. They have a huge speedup there. When you stream weights across data (any LLM or other large model), you are almost certain to be bound by memory bandwidth.
I love unit tests, but I sometimes additionally manually step through code in the debugger, looking for anything out of place. If a variable does anything surprising then I know I don't understand what I just wrote.
