Economists on the left have been calling for revising the inflation target to 3%. Meanwhile, inflation is stubbornly refusing to reach the 2% target that Bernanke moronically set. Oil isn’t getting cheaper and OPEC has no reason to help there either.

In 2020 the UN ran a poll to find out what people think of climate change and these are the questions they asked.
What would happen if they asked the people choosing 2A if they would support doing everything as urgently as possible if it meant that the bottom 75% of income earners would never be able to afford to buy a home or a car?
For 3C, would you support that if it meant you couldn’t afford to heat your home?
For 6A, would you support that if it meant that meat and dairy products would be made illegal and the bottom 75% of income earners would be required to eat bugs as their primary source of protein?
Curiously, they only asked leading questions designed to elicit responses they approve of. They even say that responses they don’t like are evidence they need to do more “education”.
I am happy to see that the US had the second highest percentage of fuck off responses of any country.
The gender differences are fascinating too. I wonder why the serpent tempted Eve with the fruit of the tree of knowledge?

This is how it concludes:
“In many parts of the world, including some of the most densely forested, trees are not perfect allies for tree-huggers anymore, and forests no longer reliable climate partners. What was once the embodiment of environmental values now seems increasingly to be fighting for the other side. In some places, fighting harder each year.”

That has nothing to do with shareholder voting.
The people who manage other people’s money should not be able to control corporate boards the way they do. AUM should not equal votes under management the way they currently do.
All these fund managers should be treated like a broker at a minimum and the beneficial owners should either retain their votes, or be disenfranchised entirely due to their lack of commitment. I’d prefer the people who don’t care enough to manage their own investments be disenfranchised, because fuck them. But at a minimum, fund managers should be forced to act as proxies the way brokerages are.

Index investing should not transfer the voting rights of the shares to the custodian. Only people who control their own investments should be allowed to vote.
If you don’t want the responsibility of managing your own money, fine. But your cowardice shouldn’t accumulate power to a tiny number of fund managers who control trillions of AUM.

Marriage and building a family is the ultimate low time preference approach to the gift of life. Our culture has been focused on what young women give up by starting a family without acknowledging what they gain. It’s not an accident that older childless single women collect cats (and other pets).
When you get older the frivolities of youth are not that appealing. For most people, they aren’t even available when they get older. She’s not going to have young sexually appealing young men sliding into her DMs forever.
I’m sad for Aella and all young women who have been confused on this point. I hope they all find a truly fulfilling path some day, but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it.

She isn’t wrong, but also, the people who believe this nonsense were never going to make it out of poverty anyway. The people capable of pulling themselves out see this defeatism as a challenge and as proof that they don’t have much competition.
Most people “trapped” in poverty seek this sort of sentiment to confirm their beliefs that it is hopeless to even try. They surround themselves with people who believe this and reject anyone who tries to tell them they aren’t actually trapped because believing there is hope would require them to take responsibility for their situation and do something about it.
The problem today is that this hopelessness is being weaponized into the envy that drives communists. We used to reject that sort of mass envy as a culture and now the dominant cultural forces encourage it. https://image.nostr.build/f8282955d24f2f1b6eb4c39d3807129d0c67c447424e7816bc82f5f41df17a65.jpg

2) It demonstrated to the citizens of all other countries that Western leaders consider them to be no more than their citizens to be brought to heel.

The number of people that women kill every year is mind boggling when you understand that abortion is murder. ≈1M people per year for 50 years in the US.
Women constantly argue for safety and use emotional manipulation to justify all manner of tyranny based on their desire to protect the children and the fact that this statistic isn’t thrown in their face every time they do that demonstrates how far modern men will go to avoid being called misogynists.
“From Man’s effeminate slackness it begins.”
Unmarried women commit the vast majority of these abortions.
The next time a young unmarried black woman screeches Black Lives Matter in your presence, let her know that 1 out of every 8 black women of child bearing age kills a black baby every year. They are responsible for 50% of all abortions in the US. 500K black people executed by black women every year. Where are the riots for all these deaths?
Women have been aborting babies for all of human history too. The scale might be a modern phenomenon, but the act itself is nothing new. Abandoning babies in the wilderness was also a common approach women used before abortion was so clinical and easily available.
I know women who became completely distraught when a pet dog or cat brought a dead mouse to the door. They spent years berating these pets for that one time they killed the defenseless cute little mouse. These same women don’t think anything about their friends and family members aborting babies at will. The fact they aren’t called out on this insane hypocrisy on a regular basis is astounding to me.

If you think people actually want the freedom that Nostr and Bitcoin deliver you are probably overestimating the average person’s desire for freedom. Look at how the average normie begs for gun control to understand what you are up against.

People constantly talk about how much easier the Boomers had it and in the many threads on Twitter last night where these videos were shared there were many such comments. Obviously that context was lost with my post here, so that’s on me, but that’s the sentiment I was mostly commenting on here.
When you control for age, every cohort has had similar wealth and income distributions at the same points in their lives. There are some marginal differences, but it is definitely not the case that everyone was buying cheap real estate in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Especially given the double digit interest rates.
But things will get worse at an accelerating rate if the climate hysterics get their way. The loudest voices complaining about how capitalism has stolen their futures are also the same people cheering on the green agenda to reduce the standard of living for the developed world. And none of the commentary on these videos over the last couple days, and the subject in general, have dealt with that reality.
So what they should do is quit supporting the people who have been promising them they were going to dramatically reduce their standard of living for 3 decades. And that’s the point I was trying to make, poorly.

Just working hard was never enough. Digging a hole every morning and filling it every afternoon is hard as fuck, but it isn’t productive. You have to work hard on the right things. Things that society needs and therefore values.
My Boomer parents had it much harder, as adults, than my Silent grandparents. But my grandparents lived through the depression as kids and started their adult lives in the middle of WWII so I can’t really hate them for that either.
Canadians, on average, have been one of the most compliant populations on the planet over the last few years. They are getting what they begged for - climate controls and carbon pricing. They just didn’t realize what that would mean for them. 🤷‍♂️
Their communist healthcare system is more likely to recommend they kill themselves than treat them but they keep on virtue signaling and voting for their slave masters. They cheered when their government seized the savings of people who tried to stand up for them because they disagreed with their programming. And they would cheer on the confiscation of every sat in their godforsaken country if given the chance. On average, they can go fuck themselves.
I feel for the minority who opposes their insanity, but the majority are a bunch of brainwashed psychopathic idiots and the minority allowed themselves to be disarmed.

I had it much harder than this woman has it but she would tell you I had it easy just because the year I was born, the color of my skin, and my Y chromosome. Never mind that I had to work 80 hours per week while providing for a family for the first 2 decades of my career to manufacture all the luck I’ve had in my life.
But she’ll keep voting for people who want her to live in a favela and eat bugs so she doesn’t produce any more carbon without realizing that she’s responsible for making her life harder. Her complete submission during Covid proved to those she empowered that there are no limits to how far they can push her because all she’ll ever do about it is cry on camera for the dopamine.

No, I avoid their betas like the plague. Ever since Ventura shipped, macOS has gotten progressively worse. And I’m running it on a fairly high end Mac Studio. I have to reboot the damn thing every couple days just to get it to behave at all now. I used to only reboot after system updates before Ventura.
iOS has started to become almost as unstable. Not quite as bad, but I have to reboot it to get it to behave much more frequently too. And I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Yeah, I love Ruby and when I need perf it’s easy enough to write something in C or Rust and call it via FFI. But this code spends the vast majority of its time waiting on the network.
I was able to run the same code single threaded on my M1 Mac against a local copy of the PostgreSQL DB and it only took 1 hour. But adding the network slowed it down by a factor of 24, hence the need for multiple threads.
It’s always easy to forget just how slow even the fastest network is until you run head first into the problem again. 🤣

Ruby/Linux. It was pretty simple and I got the code written and tested in about an hour. Just needed to do some simple database updates concurrently to finish a data migration from MySQL -> PostgreSQL in a timely fashion.
Doing them single threaded would have taken ≈24 hours. Doing them in parallel spread over about 170 threads on 64 core servers got it done in about 30 minutes.

Running with the trained weights is cheap. Training new models that are are based on the existing weights is relatively cheap.
But Stable Diffusion was trained on 4K A100s and LLaMa used 2,048 A100-80GB cards for training. ChatGPT 4 is rumored to be 225B parameters and in a stream a few months ago I think George Hotz mentioned how many GPUs he heard it used for training, but I can’t remember what he said.
Ideally the costs will drop even faster than Moore’s law with technical advances in the training methods, but it’s still very expensive to train new models from scratch.

2023-07-12 22:13:25

- reply

Yes, but the scale of the hardware that the original models are trained on means the actual training of the original models is still very centralized and vulnerable to centralized control in the near term.
Time will help as Moore’s law continues to work on the compute that matters for AI training. But it’s important that those chips don’t get too centralized in only a single vendor’s hands. That’s why I’m hoping AMD gets their shit together and other players join the race. Apple doesn’t seem to be interested in that fight right now, but we’ll see if that changes.

Exactly, there are so many paths to the top 10%. But the people who haven’t reached it and are wasting all their free time on social media might want to rethink their strategy.
I was just talking to one of my kids yesterday about how the ‘90s are a blur to me. I don’t know much of what was going on culturally at all. I watched The Last Dance a couple months ago and I felt like someone from another country watching it because I was so busy during my 20s.
I worked 40-50 hours a week and then spent another 40 hours a week learning whatever skills I needed to help me accomplish my next professional goals. Not to even mention raising 2, then 3, and then 4 kids.
I look around and see so many people just completely wasting their 20s and I see so many people my age in their 50s who wasted their 20s and they are all moaning about how they’ll never be able to retire. People in their 50s who have no kids and have no wealth accumulated are doubly fucked. Don’t be like those people.

He’s right and there are far too many people who don’t understand this. If your income isn’t in the top quartile or decile now, a few million sats aren’t going to deliver you to some future aristocracy.
