"mental clickbait of the classic aphorisms" is one way to phrase 'attribution"

Literally (explicitly) a holocaust denier.

No credentials whatsoever - IIRC a Bachelor's degree in English, but definitely not a professorship.

Out of curiosity, what is the most difficult thing about building a browser?

Are these not the 'friction can be ignored' assumptions of economics? They are, of course, blatantly false. But that doesn't stop such models from effectively modelling real-world behavior.

Granted, I know a slight bit about general equilibrium theory, but nothing about DSGE.

I'm always surprised when people suggest using a different language if you want typing in Python. Python's (second?) largest appeal is probably its extensive ecosystem. Whenever people suggest just changing languages, I wonder if they work in isolation, without the need for certain packages or co-worker proficiency in that language.

Why not use them?

Because you can now use typing WITH the entire Python ecosystem.

That's terrible. Best of luck to you both.

Thanks for linking that thread. Really puts things in perspective.

I personally don't see downloadability as a significant factor in the morality of breaching security. If it's bad to hack a login screen to gain access to private information, why wouldn't it be bad to hack encryption to do the same thing? What moral dimension does downloadability alter?

I think the house analogy fails because you cannot duplicate a house, take it somewhere else, and attempt to break into it there. If you could, that would undoubtedly be seen as a violation.

A considerable group of people think AGI or even ASI is right around the corner

Similar story here. Goes to show how effective brainwashing kids as an advertisement technique is.

There are movie critics that go on a rollercoaster ride and then complain about a lack of subtext

Googling "Cantillon Effect" gives suprisingly few results. Out of the top five results, two are Bitcoin-related, one is Reddit, and one is the Wikipedia page of Richard Cantillon himself.

The top comment on /r/AskEconomics is:

"The cantillon effect doesn't really exist in any significant capacity. Central banks nowadays announce their actions well ahead of time, that means before the actual expansion of the money supply, people know this expansion will happen, and markets price in that expansion. So there really isn't much benefiting from being "early".

Beyond that there really isn't much empirical evidence on the cantillon effect to exist in any significant capacity."

Since I know little about this topic I'd appreciate HN's view.

There needs to be a path to redemption, yes, but this very clearly isn't it.

This video by CJP Grey explains this dynamic very well, for anyone interested.

The corruption of the tech/'hacker' subculture has been so disheartening to watch. Is this the subculture that was obsessed with cyberpunk? It took so little, too: good (but not great) salaries, mediocre tech, and a small amount of fearmongering. And suddenly we're here, convinced that corporations must be unconstrained no matter the societal effects. It's as if the cyberpunk dystopias are now seen as aspirational. Absurd and deeply sad.

Exactly. Linux is great but never actually 'low maintenance'. I personally felt like my OS needed frequent attention.

I think you've read too much early Wittgenstein. That is simply not how people communicate.

And you don't think that this won't improve with better bots?

This illustrates to me how amazing LLMs are at 'remembering' _extremely_ obscure information. Somehow LLMs can repeat mistakes made a couple times looooooong ago.

I'll give a somewhat simpler answer than Filligree has. The problem with renewable energy sources is that they are typically both highly variable and not dispatchable (i.e., controllable). The former leads to supply peaks that can exceed transmission capacity or supply lows that require compensating generation elsewhere. The latter means that energy generation can easily be increased or decreased as required, which is of course very helpful for grid management. Dispatchable generation can be increased if supply requires it, or multiple dispatchable generators can be 'redispatched' to relieve congestion in a part of the power grid (by rebalancing generation). Power from renewable sources can be decreased through curtailment, but that wastes the generated energy.

Indeed. For instance, power grids ideally operate with N-1/N+1 redundancy, i.e., the disablement of any single power line should not cause a cascading failure.

Since so many commenters here have bad experiences, I'll provide a counterweight. I've made numerous edits and have run into little to no resistance. I'm sure asking people on a forum does not evoke a representative response.

You're absolutely correct and it's ridiculous that HN can't fathom that a hallucination, in both the traditional and LLM sense, is not characterized by its form or content per se but by the fact that the form or content is incongruent with some external factor.

The sentence as a whole is meaningful, which you can see by excluding 'to a combination of tariff and non-tariff':

This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due factors that prevent trade from balancing

The 'tariff and non-tariff' phrase is _technically_ superfluous but, subtextually, it implies there are such non-tariff reasons.

The way of the dodo, presumably

The less they're able to, the lower prices will be.

These people are standing in a burning house, happy they won't have to pay the heating bill

Had them as kids. Amazing animals. Intelligent, social, interactive, curious, playful(/slightly mischievous), and mostly easy to keep. The only major downside is their short lifespan.

Can't recommend them enough. I have so many fond kid memories of my pet rats and their hijinks.

That's not how the GDPR works. Just like criminal procedure, subjects do not sue alleged offenders themselves. The state instead sues on their behalf.
