As adastra22 points out: some authors define the term inflation primarily as the increase in the money supply (“monetary inflation”), others primarily as an increase in (consumer good) prices (“price inflation”).

At least in modern economic literature and usage, the term “inflation” (without modifier) is more often used to denote price inflation rather than monetary inflation.

The insistence that the term “inflation” ought be primarily rather used for “monetary inflation” goes back to at least Ludwig von Mises, The Theory of Money and Credit, 1912:

“In theoretical investigation there is only one meaning that can rationally be attached to the expression inflation: an increase in the quantity of money (in the broader sense of the term, so as to include fiduciary media as well), that is not offset by a corresponding increase in the need for money (again in the broader sense of the term), so that a fall in the objective exchange-value of money must occur.”
That was the line the news media took for the first year or two - "we can't read his mind, so we can't call it a lie!" It's a mistake not to at least credit his own words and the logical conclusions they result in.

Trump has had a ~43% approval rating from basically the beginning except for a very brief dip around Jan 6.
I would expect a botanist to know that a tomato is technically a berry, just like I would expect an economist to know that inflation is technically defined as an increase in the money supply.

Everyday people can use whatever definition they want. That doesn't mean economists, the Fed, etc should say "inflation" when they mean "price of goods".
> Word X means Y, NOT Z

Wittgenstien would like a word. Words always mean whatever the hell the speaker thinks they mean, which is always unverifiable. We should always endeavor to understand what people _think they mean_ instead of insisting on some (faulty) denotation.

The inflation argument is always frustrating. In a vacuum, inflating the _supply of money_ would delate the _price of money_ which inflates the _prices of goods_. Most people say "inflation" to mean the price of goods, but it does no good to insist that one definition means you can't use the word in other ways!
One thing I never understand with these terraforming startups is: instead of terraforming Mars, isn't it much more economically valuable to terraform chunks of Earth?

At the end all of this boils down to economics, and instead of spending trillions to terafform Mars, you can buy large swathes of unproductive land on Earth and try to develop that...
Given Trump's current faculties, it might show that people are more willing to trust that he probably won't do much either. He'll be on a similar auto-pilot at this age
It would be a tall feat to suppress close to a third the population from voting!
It’s still a tossup: you’re conflating the polls being within the margin of error with the electoral college vote count, but all of the major analysts were saying it was even odds that either of them could win with a range of vote totals. 538 had it at 52:48 favoring Trump yesterday, and the EV range went high because so many states were close.

> But it is worth stressing that the polls will not be exactly correct. Polls overestimated Democrats by an average of 3-4 points in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, for example, and overestimated Republicans by an average of 2.5 points in the 2012 presidential election. Our election model expects polls this year to be off by 3.8 points on average, although it could be more or less — and our model thinks this error is equally likely to favor Democrats as Republicans

> And that’s why we’ve been saying the race isn’t necessarily going to be close just because the polls are. Trump and Harris, our model says, are both a normal polling error away from an Electoral College blowout.

TinyLlama[1] has been made by an individual on their own last year, training a 1.1B model on 3T tokens with just 16 A100-40G GPUs in 90 days. It was definitely within reach of any funded org in 2019.

In 2022 (IIRC), Google released the Chinchilla paper about the compute-optimal amount of data to train a given model, for a 1B model, the value was determined to be 20B tokens, which again is 3 orders of magnitude below the current state of the art for the same class of model.

Until very recently (the first llama paper IIRC, and people noticing that the 7B model showed no sign of saturation during its already very long training) the ML community vastly underestimated the amount of training data that was needed to make a LLM perform at its potential.

I agree. The only model we have for this in the US currently is Medicare. It’s the only version of universal healthcare we have and would be the most obvious way to implement it
Almost no one really wants government to leave them alone. Everyone looks to government after a disaster. People rely on government for policing and most people for providing their children education. People rely on government to ensure the food supply is safe. These things are largely forgotten about by the people saying they want less government. There are contradictory views held by the people who say they want government to leave them alone. They have bought into a fantasy narrative that they are under attack by government and liberalism.
Thanks!

We scrape only publicly available data and promote fair use.
> That didn't happen at all. The US is now stronger, more powerful, richer.

The proper comparison to make here isn't between America before and America after Trump. It's to America after Trump and a hypothetical America after Clinton.

It may be that we're better off after Trump (though "we" is doing a lot of work in that sentence). But the relevant question to voters is whether we would have been even better off if the other candidate had one.
Universal healthcare, strong working class, strong k-12 education, govt mandated work/life balance & child support, abortion, free from a large population of Christian (protestant) nationalism that influences politics at every level... why yes, yes I do.
> It was never the dems election to lose. It's too bad you only saw that narrative!

I find this baffling. With the dems tying themselves to biden and then Harris, it was absolutely an uphill battle. But that was an unforced error.

If they had a robust primary, you have to assume there was someone on the blue team that could beat Trump. If not, then they deserved every bit of this anyway.
Yes, and that's great, credit to anyone who supports American industry!

I'm looking forward to how much more manufacturing across different industries that this admin brings back to the States, too!
Musk wants business in china. I don’t think he cares about any of that.
I don't see any reason to believe that authoritarians particularly value equality or absolute sameness. I think that's wishful thinking colored by the desire to think they can easily be made into UBI supporters.

What authoritarians want is a limited number of well-defined roles and scripts for the way thing are to be done. They don't want to have to deal with figuring out every situation anew. In fact that seems to terrify them. But it's OK if there's not just one role, so long as it's clear where everybody stands.

In fact, they usually seem to prefer there to be a strong leader role that's obviously way different from everybody else... either because they see themselves as being that person, or probably more frequently because they want that person to come in and make everything all right for them.

Authoritarians also really seem to want the just world fallacy to not be a fallacy, and seem very willing to accept inequality if they can convince themselves that the people who are getting the better deal "deserve" it.

This term? I have no clue what his goals are. I just hope he lives because the VP Vance appears to support that project 2025.

Love this project! I would love to collab, please consider open-sourcing this project, or let me know if I can contribute in some way
It turns out that "hackers" and "rich boy startups" have much less cultural overlap than the latter would have you believe.
the reason Harris lost is because the Democrats are soft on everything. Soft on immigration, soft on crime. Even though I dislike Trump, I wouldn't vote for Democrats ever.
Back in my day I remember when the same anti-porn conservatives would also tell you that gambling bans are good. I can't believe that conservatives gave up on moral purity.
Because that's how power works.
Yeah. They have no idea Trump is the biggest pro-Israel anti-Muslim fan out there. He'll literally give Israel anything they want, and those people will gasp and act surprised.
Yes, Apple at one time had a phenomenal Human Interface Guide for native OS X applications which was based on actual UX testing and research. Things like, "make your application features discoverable," "clearly delineate functional areas and controls," and "use verb+noun on action buttons." It was Good Stuff and it heavily informed a lot of UX decisions for the prominent Linux desktops at the time.

It's still around but I flipped through it recently and it seems to be a mix of the absurdly general ("don't build an app for a specific screen size") to the very specific (MacOS and iOS APIs). Maybe there's some gold buried in there still, but I'm not sure where to find it.
Hmm looks like this is still pretty early project for me. :)

My experience:
1. I didn't have a working installation window after opening it for the first time. Maybe what fixed it was downloading and opening some random javascript repo, but maybe it was rather switching to "Trusted mode" (which makes me a bit nervous but ok).

2. Once the assistant window input became active, I wrote something short like "hi", but nothing happenned after pressing ctrl-Enter. I rageclicked around a bit, it's possible I have queued multiple requests. About 30 seconds later, suddenly I got a reply (something like "hi what do you want me to do"). That's .. not great latency. :)

3. Since I got it working, I opened the sidecar project and sent my second assistant prompt. I got back this response after few tens of seconds: "You have used up your 5 free requests. Please log in for unlimited requests." (Idk what these 5 requests were...)

I gave it one more go by creating an account. However after logging in through the browser popup, "Signing in to CodeStory..." spins for a long time, then disappears but AIDE still isn't logged in. (Even after trying again after a restart.)

One more thought is maybe you got DDos'd by HN?
> She dumped any sort of policy or position that'd scare away the mythical disaffected trump voter

We just saw a national rejection of progressive politicians. To the extent she screwed up, it was in having a numpty VP instead of Shapiro and declining to be more specific on policies that would offend the left wing of the base. We’ll probably see a midterm backlash, however, so the message isn’t “everyone tack right.”
I am on disability and use Medicare. My health access has diminished to almost zero over the last four years.

What has any Democrat done fro me, the poor and suffering?

Give me a break. Obama Pulled a Lucy with Medicare for all and I hate him for it.
More precisely people who want the government to leave them alone but actively harass other people that they don't like.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Is it just me or do others not care if the welder is a man or a woman. I just want my welds to hold.

If she struggles when they ask her to do a 6mm and 8mm weld, guess what, then she shouldn’t get the job. If she does it properly, maybe she should.
Complaining about being tired and having to squat to lift things? It’s the job.
And having someone tell you your hands are dirty is now harassment? Maybe customer didn’t want a super dirty invoice. Guess what librarians deal with homeless creepers all the time. Welders are not uniquely harassed.

People really ought to have a poll on whether this whole woke equal nature of things matters. In WW2, we had plenty of Rosie the Riveter working. Now less so. Times change, jobs change.

I just want my welds not to break.
People are attracted to power. It's that simple.
This doesn't support your assertion- in fact it does the opposite. The definition(s) of inflation has changed over time. That does not make the current definition(s) less correct
Hacker News is a liberal echo chamber not a Tech news site
We are not divided though. He overwhelmingly won the popular vote. Sure there is an opposition, but the truth is that the majority of American voters agree with Trump (currently winning by margins of 5 million according to NYT).

Yes, there's still work to be done, but the real inflamers of the nation are the mainstream media. Luckily they're slowly going away, and uniting figures like Musk, Rogan, etc are taking their place.

Also, he overwhelmingly wins with hispanic men (55-45). He is walking away with hispanics overall in many swing states. Black men are now 25% in his favor. Basically every single minority margin has shifted towards president trump (Including women). At this rate he will succesfully unite the country in a few more years as the remaining stragglers come over to see common sense.
While I agree that genocide is bad, all the numbers point to this not even having had been a factor.
Show HN: Use a GitHub Repo as a CMS for a NextJS Blog
I recently needed a blog for my recent Next.js app, and wanted something that would look really nice and that could be integrated into my existing Next.js app to keep deployment simple and to give me more control over how it's hosted and configured.

My goal was to get something that looked very slick, using modern CSS styling and rich client-side effects that would look great on desktop and mobile, and most importantly, something that would be very easy and convenient for me to create new blog posts and edit existing posts.

So I had the idea of using GitHub as the CMS and just writing the posts using markdown with some extra metadata at the beginning, and then basically parsing that into html/css. I know there are some other projects that do something similar, but mine is very minimal and easy to integrate into a project without a lot of configuration.

It ended up working really well, so I decided to turn it into a standalone open-source project, which you can see here:

Wayne County was never going to be the lynch pin of the election and even so, exit polling is notoriously fickle. If we're taking exit polling at face value, across the country the economy was #1 followed by preserving democracy and immigration. Geopolitics is probably at the bottom of the top 10 nationally.
If prod went down because of a missing check in, there are other problems.

> Multi-repository pull requests should be a first class feature of any serious source code management system.

Do you have examples of source code management systems that provide this feature and do you have experience with them? repo-centric approach of GitHub often feels limiting.
How big is a rack in VW beetles though?

It's a terrible measurement because it's an irrelevant detail about how their data is stored that no one actually knows if your data is being stored in a proprietary cloud except for people that work there on that team.

So while someone could say they used a 10 TiB data set, or 10T parameters, how many "racks" of AWS S3 that is, is not known outside of Amazon.

EU does not have money to spare. Their economies are on the brink of collapse. They have committed harakiri by sabotaging their own energy security and industrial might. EU do not have they any clout on world stage and will decline. Without US - ukraine is sitting duck.
I would not say they lie to the same degree. Trump can not own up to the truth. The man took a Sharpie to a hurricane map to "prove" that he was not wrong. He has never and will never admit that he is wrong.
Taking jobs? Who, is giving them illegal jobs?

Why aren't people talking about this and doing something about it?
Nobody ever wants a war.

However the world let the annexation of Crimea slide in 2014 and that emboldened Russia. Let them chop off a piece of Ukraine now and that will embolden them even more. After all Finland was a province of the Russian Empire before the revolution of 1917 and parts of Poland were under Soviet's control prior to 1941. And that's without going back into middle ages. Lots of places to take back.
From the perspective of wanting less waste and less pollution tariffs are a good thing.
Which doesn’t use church. Second edition uses a more JavaScript like language.
It's an interesting idea, but it's more or less been tried.

The conclusion of that experiment was that half of the country would gladly go to war to force the other half to stay as one country. I don't think that has changed. Especially given that the primary political divisions aren't between state lines; They are rural and urban divisions.
Personally I know plenty of people who didn’t vote because of the genocide. Mostly Palestinian americans, arab americans, those on the far left.
Have you tried RPL (reverse Polish Lisp)? It's on later HP calculators, and it's pretty elegant for a small-machine language. The type system includes matrices and functions.
Tariffs are at least anti-libertarian.
That's not entirely true. In 2020, a lot of states just cancelled their Republican primaries and pledged their delegates to Trump. Mainly because it's assumed that the incumbent will be the candidate.

And all-in-all, that's fair play. The GOP and DNC are private entities and they get to choose who they put forward as a candidate in the manner they choose. Voting in presidential primaries is fairly recent. The DNC picked Harris, as is their right.
Authoritarianism isn't when your opinions don't align with others.

Authoritarianism is the enforcement or advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom. I think we are moving away from this kind of Authoritarianism, and embracing the freedom of diversified opinions.
Which CI/CD pipelines have you had issues with? Because that isn’t my experience at all. With both GitHub (also Azure DevOps) and gitlab you can separate your pipelines with configurations like .gitlab-ci.yml. I guess it can be non-trivial to setup proper parallelisation when you have a lot of build stages if this isn’t something you’re familiar with. A lot of other more self-hosted tools like Gradle, RushJS and many others you can setup configurations which does X if Y and make sure only to run things which are necessary.

I don’t want to be rude, but a lot of these tools have rather accessible documentation on how to get up and running as well as extensive documentation for more complex challenges available in their official docs. Which is probably the, only, place you’ll find good ways of working with it because a lot of the search engine and LLM “solutions” will range from horrible to outdated.

It can be both slower and faster than micro-repositories in my experience, however, you’re right that it can indeed be a Cthulhu level speed bump if you do it wrong.
It doesn't have to be that complicated.

All you need to know is "does changing this code affect that code".

In the example I've given -- a React SPA and Go backend -- let's assume that there's a gRPC binding originating from the backend. How do we know that we also need to deploy the SPA? Updating the schema would cause generation of a new client + model in the SPA. Now you know that you need to deploy both and this can be done simply by detecting roots for modified files.

You can scale this. If that gRPC change affected some other web extension project, apply the same basic principle: detect that a file changed under this root -> trigger the workflow that rebuilds, tests, and deploys from this root.
I mean, primaries usually aren’t generally heavily remembered.
Even though your reply contradicts itself, you've given me much to think about today.
They can not even understand that 80% of the country does not talk like a rich, educated liberal. It is so frustrating.
I would be more excited if they released it in console form instead of an iPad with a docking station; N64 was basically the perfect form factor -- load games manually (tactilely) and no fussing with bluetooth or controller charging; and prioritize local co-op games instead of online play.
