It seems to me that NIIP is very related to high US stock prices. Everyone, including Americans, wants to invest in the US. Americans own American assets, and so do foreigners, but Americans don't want to buy foreign assets. Hence the high prices of American stocks, and the NIIP thing.

This website shows that people started reporting issues with Google around 1:28 AM (Pacific Time), and it currently shows a spike of 7,419 reports.

EDIT: Spike went down at around 2:04 AM (Pacific Time). Thanks, Google Site Reliability Engineers, now go to sleep!

Just a reminder: DownDetector doesn’t actually check if a website is down. It collects data on how many people have reported issues or asked about a site’s status. So, while it doesn’t always reflect the real-time status of a website, it can give a rough idea of the scale of the problem—assuming the site really is down.

This is cool! I have always thought that the HTML <input type=range> input needed a dual-value implementation because that makes a lot of sense. Consider the use case "I want to filter products with at least X widgets but no more than Y".

However, I found a bug in Firefox I want to highlight:

Any time I click on a min or max handle they change change the value one step up or down.

If I make an effort to click in the dead center of the handle it does not change. If I click slightly to the left the selected value will decrease one step. If I click slightly on the right side of the handle it will increase.

I would expect the value to _only_ change when I make an actual action to change it by moving my mouse pointer with the button held down.
Yeah, it really increases the cost of abusing the CA system, a lot.
Your argument could be read as beauty not mattering. For a different POV, countless animals will risk their life to look fabulous/make themselves stand from the pack to leave a legacy.

Arguably fashion could be one of the most important thing to people.

PS: on a side note, even in technical circles where we could expect more detachment from appearances in general, a lot of comment will revolve around "X looks dumb". As in "I'd look dumb taking a photo with an iPad" or "who would wear VR googles around people and look like an idiot". People are social animals, and they care about how they look.

That's very cool, finally a native app that runs fast. Thanks.
It is correct. For example, this code (admittedly a contrived example, just to illustrate the point) compiles in 1.82 but not in 1.83:

trait OptionExt {
fn get_or_insert_default();
}

impl<T> OptionExt for Option<T> {
fn get_or_insert_default() {}
}

fn main() {
Option::<()>::get_or_insert_default();
}

The reason is that `get_or_insert_default` was added to the stdlib in 1.83, and takes a different number of arguments, so it clashes with the user-defined one here.
I think EU simplifies things a lot and accelerates the economy.

I'm from a small country. Almost whatever business you do, you usually start thinking export really fast. One thing to say about EU is what they say about Africa. It's not one, there are different places in there. If you've been in one, then that might not apply somewhere else.

I don't think EU countries have that many domestic businesses anymore. Companies operate in multiple countries and have supply chains crossing borders. People can freely just go and work wherever they want just like that. EU has removed so much friction and middlemen.

Maybe German and French people could learn English a bit better and it would be smoother for business. And taxation of work could be harmonized and simplified so it'd be easier to buy labor (and not just products or services) from anywhere. That's a hard problem though because of the different societies and services and thus different taxation.

What would you improve?
Can you see the problem though: If you need a huge page dedicated to explaining the difference between how-tos and tutorials then it's clearly too confusing and not obvious at all. Nobody is going to need a page telling them the difference between sample code and documentation. Those two words are obvious even though yes, sample code is of course also documentation in a sense.

How's that related to the magnificent 7 and then SpaceX/StarLink and the AI revolution (which is nearly virtually only happening in the US: even if there are a few models in France, China, etc. it's a US game)?

I don't think you realize what's going on in the EU (failing into a third world continent at an alarming rate) or in China (where "little" cities of 30 million inhabitants are all about tech and feeling like you live in the future: not that everything is rosy in China).

EU carmakers are all in big trouble while Chinese EVs and Tesla are soaring. The EU has nothing to answer the mag 7, let alone SpaceX (the ESA was already way behind NASA).

That the US is growing at a faster rate than most other nation and continents is a fact and it's got nothing to do whether you or a care assistant goes to visit your grandma.

Correct on all accounts. It is definitely not a POD nor a standard layout type (the modern version of POD).
It's a little more complicated than that. US inflation is actually good for emerging economies which borrow in dollars, because it eases their debt burden.
Even if you are correct, it might be worth mentioning that the US is the top military power, which adds strength to the equation.

I'm not the OP, but I notice that it's very strange that the other major expensive durable good the typical American household will own [0] is a steeply depreciating asset.

I also notice that "housing as both shelter and investment" is not universal policy. Japan does things totally differently and has historically done well by it.

You can't please everyone — and even more important: Some people just love to complain for the sake of it. I suspect they put themselves above others that way. "Shit I could sit in that warm office" becomes "You are lazy" or else they have to question their life choices. Vice versa "Shit I could do something less boring" becomes "But I have learned more" for similar reasons. Grass is always greener..

My experience as someone who needs to do both is that often "game recognizes game", so great office workers will appreciate great blue collar workers and vice versa — if given the chance.

Every blue collar worker had situations where they had to wait because some lazy office bum that had to give them paperwork would rather chat with their collegues than do their job.

And every white collar worker had situation where a craftsperson communicated in single word fragments, went off and was seen to smoke cigarettes for half the time only to write them down as work hours while leaving things broken afterwards.

The only thing capable blue/white collar workers hate more than that is uncapable people on their own side.

I can't believe you're actually arguing these semantics when one person has to pay 800 dollars for an assistant and the other person gets it for free.

One person's elderly parents never have to worry about being assisted, while the other can only do so if they can afford it. And you're arguing GDP semantics? There is something seriously wrong and sick with this.
I think this is the fundamental cultural difference between countries like the USA (and Australia) vs most of the EU.

Folks here expect and trust the state to provide for the future, private provisions are easily dismissed as unnecessary. As a result of this the median household wealth of the area I live in is 5x lower than my home country of Australia, despite incomes (adjusted for purchasing power) not being drastically different.

Whether that trust is wisely placed we'll have to wait and see[1]. However I do need to narrow that down a bit, it's not the whole EU, mostly France/Germany. There are other nations moving ahead with private pension schemes etc and much higher household wealth (Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands).

1. My main concern is government investment is inherently slow, politically charged, and pathologically risk averse vs the private sector. This means in the aggregate, over the long term, private household investments will out perform.

I agree though, the propaganda machines are going full bore.

Differentiable Rendering [1] is the closest thing to what you are describing.
And yes, people have been working on this for the same reason you outline, it is more data/compute efficient and hence should generalize better.

> While cool, this also seems utterly wasteful. Video games offer known "analytical" solutions for the interactions that the model provides as a "statistical approximation", so to say.

A bit of the same debate as people calling LLMs a "blurry JPEG of the web" and hence useless.

Yes this is a statistical approximation to an analytical problem... but that's a very reductive framing to what is going on.
To find the symbolic/analytical solution here would require to constrain the problem greatly: not all things on the screen have a differentiable representation, for example complex simulations might involve some kind of custom internal loop/simulation.

You waste compute to get a solution that can just be trained on billions of unlabeled (synthetic) examples, and then generalize to previously unseen prompts/environments.
There is an argument that elections can be understood as a referendum on the previous 4 years. E.g. voting for the incumbent candidate/party means more of the same.

Hi guys!
I’m thrilled to introduce The Starlight Knight, my latest indie 2D platformer project. It’s been a labor of love inspired by the classics but infused with modern gameplay mechanics and a touch of personal storytelling.
The Starlight Knight is a pixel-art 2D platformer where you play as a brave knight navigating a mysterious world. While it draws inspiration from games like Celeste and Hollow Knight. The game is designed to be challenging, but fair—rewarding skillful play and offering players multiple ways to overcome obstacles.

Thanks. In a first draft I used the words descriptive and prescriptive but then I decided to avoid possibly using the wrong terminology. Would "prescriptive" be a synonym for "normative" in this case or is there an important difference?
So execute them. Problem solved.
if you hired care assistant then you have time for some other activities like work which is more profitable than cost of care assistant thus economy has more goods. Life expectancy lowers when young people die, most often in work accidents which is related to low unemployment.
I think you will find that at least in UK English, "slave labour" is used almost exclusively in the second sense [1]. The UK not having reckoned as much with its history of actual enslavement, this term is significantly less loaded than it is in the US.

Thank you for the correction! Managed to get it under the edit window as well so I can acknowledge it.
I agree with you. I will go even further by saying that the EU being caught with it's pants down is by design.

Everybody rushed to join NATO and decided since the US was there as a backstop, they no longer needed to invest in their own defense.

It's a little bit like what happened in 2008 with the too big too fail banks and the bailout. If someone else is always there to pick up the slack, then what is the point of changing the status quo.

The EU countries were happy about this because they are broke. The US was happy to keep it's status as the global cop of the world making sure everybody stays in line. This line of thinking worked since the fall of the USSR but the rise of China, India and the global south is changing the world order as we speak.

As long as we're talking about the veil of ignorance, let's also consider the "veil of birth country ignorance". What if you were born in Africa?

From that perspective, one of the most altruistic things a developed country can do, arguably, is increase its rate of immigration from developing countries.

Of course, if you do that, your average citizen gets poorer ;-)

What I’ve noticed is what Americans consider “bare minimum” is pretty luxurious.

“I’m not even middle class” means buying a single family home in the most expensive coastal cities, multiple international (Mexico and Canada don’t count) per year, a couple SUVs less than 5 years old, lots of toys, plus $5M when they retire at 55.

Of course most people can’t afford that. That’s upper class in the US.

We won't find out "one day", we've long since found out. It just doesn't change shit because barely half of all humans can read with any comprehension (and this study implies the US achieves 80% reading with comprehension, so the bar is very low). Of the part that can read with any sort of skill, a significant fraction don't give a shit. The net result is that you're going to be poisoned, regardless of what we know.

Show HN: KlerkAI – Instant Idea Validation from millions on Reddit
Hi HN community,

I've built klerkAI, an AI tool that searches through millions of Reddit posts to provide instant validation and feedback on business ideas. The goal is to help make informed decisions backed by data from genuine conversations on Reddit.

Backstory:

Whenever I'm starting a new project, Reddit is my go-to place for research. But manually going through threads can be time-consuming. So, I thought, why not create an AI agent that connects to the Reddit API to do the research for me? That's how klerkAI came to life.

Future Plans:

I'm planning to expand klerkAI's capabilities to:

Check brand and project sentiment
Perform political analysis
Manage Google Sheets via WhatsApp
Act as a personal email assistant via WhatsApp
I'd love for you to try it out and share your feedback.

You can check it out here: https://klerkAI.com

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
