All due to exports collapse (scroll to the bottom):

May still hold true, the 2s10s has recently deinverted, which is typically the last stage pre-recession.
Not the Atlanta Fed, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model [1].

It’s pretty good [2]. And we are seeing a flattening of 2024’s aggregate wage growth of 4.15%. But the difference in wages is like 0.42% which is indistinguishable from noise. (GDPNow predicted a phantom recession in 2022.)

In this case, the model is probably recording a surge in January imports without “an offsetting increase in inventories,” as “that is a lagging indicator” [3].

We are ecommerce, so the holidays are important revenue events. Our team's management required us to sit at our keyboards, online, so we could screenshot NewRelic graphs and paste them into our teams chat. The people requiring this all had full access to NewRelic to log in and check the graphs. We also had alerts that would page you if something was bad.

The only reason they wanted this observation that way is so that, instead of having to sit down at their laptop and log into the VPN and manage 2FA and keep their computer open so it doesn't log out every 15 minutes and all that, they just had to glance at a teams message on their phone.

We, the peons and laborers of course were not extended that option, and any system built to automatically generate screenshots for teams probably would be treated as a security risk.

I genuinely consider my direct management chain to be effective, nice, and mostly empathetic within reason, but even they manage to internalize a "the peons can be used to give myself a convenience" ideology.

They don't think of you as people, you are just a resource to them.
Just wondering:
If we magically made the federal government 20% more efficient would that decrease GDP substantially?
The dark truth is that the kind of people who are desperate for that money are also much more likely to have tainted blood from illegal drugs, dirty needles, and STDs.

The bureaucracy plays it safe by just banning payment, even though people like James aren't in that risk category.
primesense made them, the guys who sold the sensor to microsoft.
I think the other comments have the application-level approaches covered.

However, I suspect the infrastructure will provide this natively as it matures:

- Cloudflare will probably eventually add read replicas for Durable Objects. They're already rolling it out for D1 (their other SQLite database offering). [1]

- Turso has their own story for read replicas. [2]

I did something similar with their lunar libration videos captures by the LRO [1], using the frames from the video with the Windows desktop background 'slideshow' functionality (desktop background changes once a minute).

Easy fix for that! Just change the definition of GDP by excluding government spending: https://apnews.com/article/trump-gdp-economy-government-spen...

Note: this is in the context of 'programmatically extending Office/M365', I don't think the OP was referring to COM in general.

COM is at the base of WinRT, which is pretty much _not_ deprecated.
I've been using KDE for around a year. It has a few bugs but overall it's much better in my experience than either Windows or macOS. KDE 6.2 and above have been really marvelous — I actually donated $100 (I think) to them because I was really happy with the work they were doing.

KDE actually has working focus stealing prevention!
I have a lot of issues with the work of Yanis Varoufakis, but he has one idea that I'd like to see tried out - and that is that the workers own 10% of their companies, obviously getting 10% of the profit, etc. At least in Europe it's uncommon to get shares as part of the compensation package, so I'm curious how the Varoufakis' idea would end up working. It's worth giving it a shot.

After seeing people convinced to send their children to the Middle East for more nebulous reasons, I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of the country can be found willing.

Here's a look into the situation in Australia https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-07/donating-blood-plasma...

> Despite making up just 4.2 per cent of the world's population, the United States accounts for around 70 per cent of all the source plasma in the world blood market, according to most analysts.

> As it stands, the only countries in the world that are entirely self-sufficient for immunoglobulin are those that offer to pay their plasma donors.

> In 2022-23, Australia imported $399.2 million worth of immunoglobulin to make up the shortfall in supplies, buying plasma products at what Mr Cahill calls "world-best prices".
Yeah absolutely. Cargo is one of the highlights of Rust. Completely no nonsense.
I meant for the `get_beta` function which does polynomial evaluation.
It's the same issue that was behind NVDAs "soldergate" fuck-up that ended up permanently souring the relationship between them and Apple.

The core is EU's regulation on lead free solder, which led to a number of people finding out that thermal cycling on the solder led to thermal stresses. Workarounds were identified and any solder formulations since then don't suffer from that issue, so the fix is a complete re-balling of affected chips... a work not for those faint of heart.
Yeah, but then you'll be supporting Elon and his cringe fest.
I use both. Sonauto sounds more "real" and varied than what I can get with suno

Enabling WAL mode means you don't have a single file anymore.
None of you provided any sources to actual research, so I don't know what to believe.

I am a seasoned (>10 years experience) full-stack principal software engineer and software manager specializing in the backend, platform engineering, internal tools, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling.

In the past, I've managed teams of up to 12 engineers and pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech.

More recently, I've built a no-code form-filler and a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window outputs using a novel, patent-pending process.

I am also an improvisational pianist and distinguished poet.

I have extensive experience working for and running both startups and software consulting shops, which gives me a unique insight into speaking with customers, translating between engineering and other organizational departments, gathering requirements, and aligning stake-holders across departments. If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.

There's an emergency backup source located at the ends of your two other large extremities.
There are easier ways. I'll write a poem and sell it to you for $50 trillion and you draw a picture and I'll buy it for $50 trillion from you. We could get this done today and bump GDP by $100 trillion.
Not relevant. The effect is almost entirely from net exports collapsing.

The cited website went offline this morning, and it does not discuss the execution rate of the 286, NOR does it discuss the reserved bytes in the GDT, and LDTs.

Not a lot of confirmation....

https://web.archive.org/web/20160204052256/http://intel80386...

" For those descriptors that are common to both the 80286 and the 80386, the presence of zeros in the final word causes the 80386 to interpret these descriptors exactly as 80286 does; for example: "

This is patently and documented as untrue. The final word is reserved for use as a 365 GDT, and breaks 286 code, specifically Xenix 286, on a 386.

1. Your nose connects to the same tube as your mouth. Both paths pass through the throat and pharynx.

2. Compare the aperture size of the nostrils to the mouth and throat

3. Just look at the internal structure of the nasal cavity. It's a sensory organ and designed to maximize surface area contacting the air. In other words, it's full of obstructions that intentionally reduce airflow

Your thesis here is nonsense. You can't change a downstream restriction by changing conditions upstream.

If anything, adding restriction is probably what helps. By restricting airflow upstream of the lungs, you create a partial vacuum within the lungs which probably substantially alters the conditions for gas exchange. A partial vacuum probably greatly enhances CO2 rejection from the blood, but I'm not a biochemist.
Not everyone. The options markets are much thinner than the stock market as a whole; it takes fewer people to move them.

Also, it costs much less to buy an out-of-the-money option than the value of the option. You can buy cheap insurance against catastrophe, and not unwind your main position. This leaves you protected against a crash while still able to make money on the upside.
> With humans you can be reasonably sure they've followed through with a mostly consistent level of care and thouhht.

And even if they fail, other humans are more likely to fail in ways we are familiar-with and can internally model and anticipate ourselves.

I mean this is certainly a take. Equally I’ve been riding since I was five and 35 years later I have all my organs so perhaps the future really isn’t set in stone.

LLMs do well with outcome-described tools and APIs are written as resource-based atomic actions. By describing an API as a collection of outcomes, LLMs don't need to re-reason each time an action needs to be taken.

Also, when an OpenAPI spec gets sufficiently big, you face a need-in-the-haystack problem https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.01437.
We are excited to launch our MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for Graphlit! It provides powerful new capabilities for content ingestion and retrieval to MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Goose, Cline, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Ingest anything from Slack to Gmail to podcast feeds, in addition to web crawling, into a Graphlit project - and then retrieve relevant contents from the MCP client.

Documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, etc.) and HTML web pages will be extracted to Markdown upon ingestion. Audio and video files will be transcribed upon ingestion.

The Graphlit MCP Server is open-source, and provides an interface between the Graphlit Platform API, and MCP clients.

By integrating the Graphlit Platform with MCP, we can now provide LLM-enabled, agentic workflows inside any MCP-compatible client.
DuckDB crushes SQLite in heavy data workloads according to ClickBench by 915x. (Link below since it's looong.)

DuckDB also has a WASM target: https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/clients/wasm/overview.html

I don't know enough about DuckDB to understand the tradeoffs it made compared to SQLite to achieve this performance.

The more a position is competitive and the more likelly it is a psychopath will have it.

Think of it this way: to be a piano teacher, you have to be good at piano and good at competing with other teachers. The hard part is becoming good at piano. The fact that there are other piano teachers in the vincinity does not really prevent anyone to establish himself as a new one. So, it's not very competitive.

To be the CTO of a fortune 500 though, you must be good at whatever skill is needed of a CTO but you also have to fight hard against all others candidates. So the position is very competitive. If you reach it, it's mostly because you are good at competing for a rare position; it is secondary whether you are technicaly better or not.

Psychopaths, because they feel no shame and no remorse, are much better than average at competing.
I had some friends, I say friends. They are dead because you can’t treat motorcycling like driving. You have to actually pay attention and not act like a tool if you want to live.

I am able to pay attention and am not a tool, I am still alive.

edit

For context, in my country a not insignificant amount of motorcyclists will try and tell you the only thing dangerous about riding a motorcycle is car drivers, but the statistics simply do not show this. They show that the majority of incidents can be attributed to the motorcyclist. Yes, other drivers are heavily represented, just not to the levels of your average "I can do no wrong" motorcyclist would try to convince you of.
Your take away does not go far enough. It's not executive compensations. It's compensation generally, it's all much much much lower than in the US. Many Germans consider 70-90k as already making bank and a high salary that you can ride out until retirement. And the COL isn't low either and quite similar to the US. Europe is just far behind the US when it comes to salaries. Which shows that there is a lot to lose for US engineers.
This surprises nobody. People import goods before tariffs because the price is lower, and that money going to trade isn’t going to GDP. Greater economic uncertainty and higher savings rates. Difficult labor market.

The only question is the depth and the duration of the dip.
I think "vice signalling" is an increasingly useful concept.

Gel (ex EdgeDB) | SREs / Infrastructure Engineers | Full-time | Remote | https://www.geldata.com/

Gel is an open-source data platform built on top of Postgres. It’s designed to give developers a better end-to-end user experience than traditional SQL databases. We provide a more expressive schema modeling & query language (EdgeQL), and "batteries included" features such as built-in schema migrations and a graphical schema browser, data explorer, and access control/auth.

We offer a hosted cloud service for Gel, with the goal of doing developer-friendly cloud hosting "the right way" - we want users to use our hosted service because it's great, not because they're locked-in by restrictive licensing or cloud-only features.

We are looking for experienced SREs / infrastructure / devops engineers to help scale out our cloud. Unlike many infrastructure roles, this is not supporting a separate product team - for us, our infrastructure is our product. We are looking for people who care about not just building reliable infrastructure but also exposing that infrastructure to end-users as a seamless product.

Our tech stack is Hashicorp tools (Terraform, Consul, Nomad, Vault); Postgres; Golang with some Python & Rust; and AWS (with eventual expansion to other cloud platforms). It's a requirement that you have strong experience with Golang.

We are a remote-first company, headquartered in San Francisco, with most of the team working in US/Canada timezones and a few people in Europe. Unfortunately we are unable to provide any visa/immigration sponsorship at this time.

To apply, send your resume to jobs at geldata dot com and mention you saw this post on Hacker News.

Yes and I see a lot of YouTube videos about all the poverty in California, I see exactly none about the extensive and overwhelming poverty of rural China (and when I mean rural I mean 20 min outside Shanghai).

That's the point. And who trying to lie about eliminating poverty in China (or making the US look much worse), and why are people repeating that lie?
Legal immigrants from the EU were not the only source of migrants to the UK. Many come from elsewhere, legally and otherwise. Guess what: we have Brexit but we still have immigrants - impossible?! </sarcasm>

Plus it was never about immigration, it was always - I think - a classic case of misinformation and greed from many places. Sadly many people fell for it.
