I think as a society we have largely decided that in cases of acute shortage we don't want to raise prices and cause further problems. If toilet paper is $5/roll maybe instead of paying surge pricing for it, people just start stealing it off of trucks. What actually occurred was people hoarding toilet paper for no reason, since there wasn't actually a shortage. It was a manufactured "shortage". Maybe had we enforced some sort of reasonable buying scheme we wouldn't have had any problems at all. You can see this in the bourbon market to some extent, actually.

In Ohio rare bottles are sold at retail pricing and you join a lottery to be able to purchase one. Secondary prices are $1,000 for a $100 bottle. We could just let people who are willing to wait to be first in line buy bottles and then sell them at higher prices - that's market efficiency, but we've decided that kind of sucks and instead we've decided to enact a lottery instead and open the bottles so you can't resell them as easily. Most people are pretty happy with the results. It's not efficient but that's ok.

I think parking falls under a similar purview, except that the government is heavily involved in parking schemes. As an example, the promotion of the usage of gas-powered vehicles and the automobile industry, which require us to go to war and things to secure supplies. There's very little that is efficient about that market and the usage of the vehicles is extremely subsidies, you're only noticing the immediate cost when you go and have to pay pricing for peak/off-peak hours. Other goods and services are more efficient and/or less necessary, so there's different pricing schemes that we like as a society.

The main problem with economics as a field is that it assumes "good" and/or rational behavior. But markets and the economy are just one aspect of society. We intentionally make trade-offs all the time because we like the results, even if they aren't efficient.

Actually, that was absolutely correct until 1990 or so.

When I was young and the world was filled with anti-nuclear grimness, my father took me aside and told me I had nothing to worry about... until Josef Tito died. I didn't even know who that was. When he had been stationed in NATO, he'd served as squadron planning officer. He'd read SIOP and all the war plans, which he said were all ridiculous scenarios- except for Tito dying and Yugoslavia disintegrating.

He said NATO and the Warsaw Pact would go to war over the civil war. It would be impossible to stop as refugees and fighting would be everywhere and the Soviets would roll in.

He was absolutely dumbstruck how long Tito's grip from the grave kept the country together. When the Soviet Union fell, he said at least it won't be a nuclear war now.

It may not be named "database" but actually take the place of a database.

Observability vendors will try to store logs with ElasticSearch and later find it over expensive and has weak support for archiving cold data. Data Warehouse solution requires a complex ETL pipeline and can be awkward when handling log data (semi-structured data).

That said, if you're building an observability solution for a single company, I'd totally agree to start with single node PG with backup, and only consider other solution when data and query workload grow.

Doesn't this "explanation" just shift the question to what is stiffness? Like it refactored the question but didn't actually explain it.

Previously, we had statement "the weak force is short range". In order to explain it, we had to invent a new concept "stiffness" that is treated as a primitive and not explained in terms of other easy primitives, and then we get to "accurately" say that the weak force is short due to stiffness.

I grant the OP that stiffness might be hard to explain, but then why not just say "the weak force is short range -- and just take that as an axiom for now".
This is likely a misreading from personal preference

Getting these features for $2 instead of $20 likely appeals to a lot of people. It's 10% the price and may only be one of several reasons for the price increase (inflation is likely another)

That's one of the points, or a benefit maybe, but its not the WHOLE point. Some people just enjoy RP and fantasy worlds, so a single-player campaign would still be enjoyable (to me, at least, but maybe I'm weird). I def don't see this replacing DMs in real groups any time soon.
Nope, sorry. Github offers cloud and on premise offerings. If you choose cloud and your company can't handle a 45 minute service outage, that's just a bad purchasing decision. You do realize they make most of their revenue from on premise enterprise customers and that none of those customers were impacted? The solution was there the entire time but they can't force people to use it.

You are making an unscientific criticism.

Wolfram's claim is that Cellukar Automata can provide as good or better mathematical model of the universe than current current theories, by commonly appreciated metrics such as "pasimony of theory" (Occam's Razor). He's not making claims about metaphysical truth.

My money is on the neurological development of autism involving some form of hyper-connectedness which also expresses itself in the gut in over-sensitivity, causing the allergies.

That, and perhaps the reason there are so many forms of autism is that the actual development of the brain is impacted so much by environment. If the children are given healthy, constructive environments to learn to interface with the world on their own terms, they'll have a better chance of benefiting others than if they're treated poorly and allowed to practice maladaptive patterns.

The covid vaccine nearly killed my father (which means covid itself probably would have) due to activating previously undiagnosed sarcoidosis, but subsequent vaccinations mediated by immunological awareness were safe and effective for him as with others.

Anyway, don't expect net positives out of RFK. He might be "independent" but you need many independent experts to reach a good understanding. Trump's administration isn't going to end corruption, it's just going to streamline it.

I wish there was some way to just get react-style data bindings, html generation from JS, and code organization, while still hosting from purely a flask/django backend. The traditional split of a flask API and a react frontend consuming it, just feels like overkill.

Plus native JavaScript+html is just so close to a complete solution these days. I don’t miss components at all. I just want better code organization.

Another advantage of insurance is that if your insurer is responsible for the rectification then you benefit from collective bargaining at a time when you may be unable to do so yourself.

For example, if my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere at 3am, I expect I'll end up paying far more for recovery were I self-insured than a breakdown insurer will.

I think the article you linked is flawed because it presents a mathematical solution without taking this into account.
that's kind of on rust for pushing crates front and center rather than groupings of crates that are developed / reviewed / released together as a single cohesive unit (typically a git repo).

e.g. go dependencies are counted on modules (roughly git repos), rather than packages (directories, compilation units). java is counted in packages rather than classes.

FWIW, I use Helix as my main editor and every time it has crashed (probably a few dozen times over a year or two, I've filed issues), it's related to bad text position stuff, where it effectively goes "out of bounds" on the text data structure.

I think its mostly due to multiple buffers showing the same content, as opposed to this Ropey library directly.

Choose one.

I kid, I kid, but Rust is not the easiest-reading language out there. It has the same problem as C++, with a syntax that's not terribly straightforward to begin with, but then it's just liberally sprinkled with nearly every bit of punctuation that can by typed with the US QWERTY layout.

Yeah IIRC he has a page elsewhere listing system fonts and proposing alternatives, including several free fonts. I'm pretty sure the reason is just that free fonts tend not to be "full featured." His typographic style is based on classic printing, so it really depends on the font having features like small caps, tabular, lining, & proportional number options, etc.
Mathematics has a lot of different theories and some small branches have different rules. I've done mod math for example (it was maybe one week of classes) where you don't get an infinite set of possible numbers. It isn't nearly as interesting as far as mathematicians are concerned (for good reason) so it isn't looked at much but those theories exist.
Indeed, I think a lot of people undervalue or are unaware of how important the soil microbiome is. That can't be restored at scale and requires the active participation of the other parts of the ecosystem, particularly the digestive tracts of animals. It's a complex interplay.

If you've ever seen cowpies sprouting grass out in some arid, quasi-desert environment, it's because their droppings contain grass seeds, insect eggs, worms, bacteria, fungal spores, and raw nutrients. Droppings are like ecosystem spores; they can help the originating ecosystem bootstrap itself in a new area, complete with hundreds if not thousands of species of microbiota, plants, insects, etc. Life is a team sport.

Show HN: Curator – an open-source library for synthetic data generation
Synthetic data generation is an essential step in training and evaluating LLMs/Agents/RAG pipelines, but tooling around this is still lacking. We're introducing Curator, an open-source library designed to streamline the data curation process.

While there are many libraries to prompt LLMs, the semantics of generating synthetic data is different from prompting. For example, we need to process a large number of prompts (sometimes in millions or more) while accepting some failures, utilize several stages of prompting, incorporate human feedback, and filter out bad data using verifiers and heuristics.

Curator addresses these challenges:
1. It supports efficient data generation by several API providers and local models.
2. Recovers from failures and caches previous output.
3. Utilizes structured outputs to enable programming complex data generation pipelines.
4. Visualize your data generation in real time.

We are working on many more features (such as adding verifiers, diversity and data quality indicators, calling external tools to generate data, etc.). We hope to help the community create high-quality datasets to train great bespoke models!

Has anyone written up exactly how TikTok is a distinct national security risk?

The best I’ve heard is “they get your data”, which is something they surely can buy from Facebook through an intermediary, “they influence content”, which is a moderation decision that every social media app does, and “there’s a part of the report to congress that’s redacted”, that could be a recipe for tuna casserole for all I know.

Edit: I’m assuming the downvotes are a way of saying “no”? I would assume that “national security threat” would involve some sort of concrete standard of harm or risk that could be communicated beyond “just trust us”. I haven’t even seen concrete examples of what content they influence, just people assuring everyone that it happens and it’s Bad.
This seems like little more than a sales pitch. For instance:

> Second, companies like Cloudflare benefit from a fast, secure internet. If the internet is fast and reliable, more people will want to use it.

The author doesn't seem to have anything to say with any more substance than this gem.
There is no way to establish a food as "safe".

Health outcomes are noisy, especially if taken over a long time. Peer reviewed studies are often flawed in various ways and most scientific studies lack the statistical power to be inconclusive.

Because it's not necessarily about the / data privacy/, it's about the ability of a foreign adversary to influence the American populous in subtle ways over time.

By simply suppressing topics, or elevating trends they might find helpful in swaying the populous.

That's what propaganda is and it works.
Tiktoks algorithm takes a while to get used to but it is pretty tameable. Quick way that works for me:

- avoid attempts based on "unliking" things, I'm pretty sure it treats it as engagement. Instead swipe bad content away.

- avoid "accidentally engaging", like replying to a comment you feel is wrong or watching something you don't like because you were trying to see where the speech was going. Disengage ASAP with unwanted.

- positive feedback for whatever video starts getting close to what you want.

- positive implies staying the whole clip, liking, viewing comments, commenting, liking comments and the strongest of all, sharing the video (you can send it to a telegram conversation with yourself or whatever, not sure if the link you shared ever being opened is accounted for but I think nope). Do this on purpose, like if a video is cool just open the comment section and like all comments without looking.

-try to "navigate". If you want to see tech and it's currently showing you music, maybe engage with music production or Spotify tricks when they appear. It might not be the tech you're looking for, but it's closer to tech than a teenage girl dancing. You'll eventually be shown things more relevant to you, at which point you grab that current.

Also do not try to rush the process. I think updating your interests is not instant, and session time might be a metric as well.
> You know that an LLM is not going to provide any meaningful narrative, or craft a thought provoking story

The title of the paper is "Exploring the POTENTIAL of LLM-based agents..." Right now, yeah, just play BG3. But the context of the discussion is its potential, which is certainly worth discussing imo.

I don't know. I heard about the idea of the similar law being stated by one of the politicians there. I didn't think it was actually passed. I thought the TX law was invalidated pretty quickly, likely before CA could even pass their own version for guns. It seemed like more of a political statement than a real law, which makes sense if they have an auto-repeal clause in it.

Either way, my point was that civil laws seem to be increasing in favor when the politicians and interest groups haven't been able to achieve what they want through the criminal side. Abortion and guns tend to showcase this most as they are the most contentious issues.

> If productivity increases are driven by capital investments, why should the workers capture any of those benefits?

Simply, there isn't a good reason. That's why we strictly regulate the labour market--we don't like the true price of labour.

The broader reason: while there aren't fundamental reasons for the worker to capture that upside, there are great reasons for citizens to. (I'm using that term broadly.) For a variety of reasons, from Protestant morality to concerns about Communism, modern societies have preferred to reward citizens qua workers than citizens qua citizens.

Of course not. That would make him an expert on developing oncology drugs, not on the ethics of drug safety and especially not on communicable disease control.

If chemotherapy meds had the incredibly low adverse reaction rates of common vaccines with the same typically high effectiveness, I bet his general opinions on the subject would be different. No, of course we shouldn't require school children to get preventative chemotherapy because the risk-reward ratio would be awful. And of course we should vaccinate them against polio because there's trivial risk in the prevention compared to the life-altering effects of the illness.
RFK Jr. is very wrong about some very important things and those already make him a dangerous nutcase.
Moved my domains off GoDaddy years ago.

This helps explains why.
Less savvy people are always going to get worse deals. My mom does not read English, so she did not take advantage of coupons on newspapers, even though we were poor.

The game has obviously changed quite a bit, but I specified “able and willing to pay more” for this reason.

Two factors coincide for a buyer to make a decision to purchase something, ability and willingness. The seller does not benefit if they drive away people who are not able to pay more with too high prices, and if they give discounts to people who are able and willing to pay more, but savvy enough to figure out how to get the discount.

So a seller will enact hurdles for the savvy to see who is willing to do more work to get a discount, or they can sell under different labels to sell to both people paying lower prices and higher prices, under the guise that it is a different product.

Most common though is to slightly tweak a product so that you are not selling the same exact thing at different prices, so the person paying more feels like they got more for more money.
