jj is not just a new interface for git, it has a lot of new and powerful features to offer, even when you're using the git backend with a colocated repo. Just to name a few:

- deferred conflict resolution

- The very expressive revset language

- the op log and ability to undo any operation

Many things that you can do with the git cli are significantly easier and in some cases comparatively effortless using jj. If all you do is git add and git commit then you probably aren't missing out on much, but if you ever split or rebase commits you should definitely try jj.


The availability of guns is new starting in 2020? What changed?


The number of guns increased dramatically over the pandemic.


I think OP was being sarcastic.


Not in any meaningful sense if you are only looking to park the money safely and hold to maturity.

Buying 3 month T bills won't pay much, but it will pay more than the interest SVB pays on your checking account balance and importantly is backed by the full faith and credit of the us govt.


The minimum subscription is $3 per month. Even if all 9,000 are paying the minimum it's $27,000 per month.


With no attribution or way to discover the source. That's great for propagandists but maybe less great for everyone else.


When a real person tells you something in person today, how do you know the original source?


Well that person has reputation/credibility and some reasoning they apply, before passing on the information. Just because you read that the world is flat are you gonna start telling people that? Now let's be clear, some people do mindlessly regurgitate nonsense, but their creditability is typically very low, so you ignore them. There is a grey area where some things aren't clear, but on the basics people of average intelligence are fairly robust, I'm not convinced chatGPT is.


You can ask where they heard it from.


Where did you hear about the economic benefits of Georgeism from? Do you appropriately attribute sources if you mention it to someone?

I know all sorts of things, many in great detail and with high confidence, that I would be very challenged to appropriately source and credit the originator/inventor. I suspect most people are similar.

Substitute “memory safety of Rust” or “environmental concerns with lithium batteries” depending on your interests


Maybe the next generation of LLMs will have more favorable things to say about you if you have published interesting things on your blog. Which in turn would be visible to any employer looking you up in that LLM.


Does anyone know if this works with Yubikey 4? I have a lightning to USB adapter but I can't seem to get it to work with these keys. It worked fine with A USB-C + NFC Yubikey Security key and a Google Titan key, but not Yubikey 4.


According to this recent support article by Yubico, the YubiKey 4 series should be compatible: https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/7449189070620


The Yubikey 4 might not be FIDO certified? Apparently Apple accepts only certified authenticators, i.e. they presumably check the attestation certificate against an allowlist that the Yubikey 4 might not be on.

Maybe they also require CTAP2 (as opposed to U2F together with the browser‘s compatibility layer)?


My understanding is that it's actually quite difficult to fit a high quality camera into a laptop lid. If you look at how thin the lid is you'll notice it's at least twice as thin as a cell phone.


Doesn't stop them using compound-eye like designs... They can be very thin and have 100+ 'cameras' over just a few square millimeters, all using the same CCD.

As a bonus, they (after a bit of processing) output 3d information, allowing them to use the same system for face ID etc.


There just isn’t much market for it. People don’t feel the need to project high res images showing every little flaw. The video conference services generally downscale the video to 1080/720 by default.

You can get up to 4K on external cameras or on a few desktop monitors with thick cases but those cameras are much too large for laptop cases.


Surely these are either much more expensive or much lower resolution though?


It's also about their ability to withstand losses.


Theft and fraud on this scale is absolutely violence in some sense. Don't assume everyone that lost money could afford to lose it. The second order consequences of this fraud are likely severe.


The point is not that the bank magically credits someone with $10. The $10 figure is arrived at after a series of infinitely recursive loans and deposits.

If you deposit $10, you still have $10, it's just in a bank account. If the bank then lends out $9 of that and hands it to them, that person now has $9, and you still have $10 (in your account). Presto, now there's $19 of money available. Of course if you both want to spend your money at the same time, then the bank will have to go back to the fed and say oops! we're illiquid and need to borrow $9. And the fed will say, ugh, you should manage your capital better but here's a loan for $9.

The same process that's occurred here can be done recursively, i.e. the person who borrowed $9 can deposit it in another bank, who then loans out $8.10, and so on...

This works out such that for every real dollar d, the total money supply is (d / r), where r is the reserve requirement, in this case, 10%.


No the $10 is indeed 'magically' credited in one step. There is no recursion required.
