For those who are slow like me

DXY measures the US dollar against every other currency. So if the US dollar in isolation had a bunch of inflation (e.g. because the US government printed a ton of money), then that would be reflected in DXY.

But if every major currency printed a ton of money at the same time, then DXY would not change because it’s only relative to other currencies.

So it doesn’t calculate inflation directly, but it’s generally correlated with it.

SPY is up 3% YTD while DXY (which measures the value of a dollar) is down 9% YTD. If you own shares of SPY, then you hold them in dollars, so the real change in value of your stock is [share price] x 1.03 x 0.91, which translates to being down over 6%.

BUT not only is your investment value down, if you live in the US you presumably get paid in dollars as well. Which means you’ve gotten a 9% pay cut since the start of the year.

The underlying neural network tech is the same as what the best chess AIs (AlphaZero, Leela) use. The problem is, as you said, that ChatGPT is designed specifically as an LLM so it’s been optimized strictly to write semi-coherent text first, and then any problem solving beyond that is ancillary. Which should say a lot about how inconsistent ChatGPT is at solving problems, given that it’s not actually optimized for any specific use cases.

Yep, if you open any subreddit (not including the reddit.com front page), it sprinkles days old posts in with the default “Best” filter. It’s a mystifyingly annoying change because from a user perspective you have to re-read the same post multiple times each week, and there’s no point further commenting on those threads because no one else is still engaging with them.

It’s like the worst of all worlds combination of old forums and old Reddit, because old threads keep getting necro-ed, but users have no control over which ones are coming back or when they do.

I like that on Lemmy you can comment on a 20+ hour old thread from the “front page” and still have a good chance at responses or interaction from other users.

Any subreddit that regularly hits the front page of Reddit requires that users comment in the first hour or two of the post being made, or latch onto some chain from the top existing comments, or else your comment is basically just thrown into the void. It’s even worse now that Reddit has started showing day or week old posts on the front page, like why bother commenting on those posts when absolutely no one will see it…

Why stop at 1
