Do you have data showing a drop in per capita median wealth?

I found this nice visualisation: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distr...

But it’s totals, and not inflation adjusted.


https://dqydj.com/net-worth-by-year/ See "Median Net Worth by Year".

It's inflation adjusted to 2022 though, not 2025 (hopefully at least that's still in ballpark though). There was a slight spike upwards for median wealth during the pandemic fwiw. This seems to have entirely corrected though.


How do screen readers work? I’ve used all the aria- attributes to make automation/scraping hopefully more robust, but don’t have experience beyond that. Could accessibility attributes also help condense the content into something more manageable?


It actually helps the extraction from the coffee grounds too, not just for reducing mess.

Forget it Jake, it’s land of Lisp.


Safari on iOS 18.1 doesn’t render the second character properly either. (Unless it’s a 口 :)

Won’t get you end to end latency, but should be able to trace the input events through chrome, and show the context swaps of all the Wayland/dbus stuff.

EDIT: looks like Linux system tracking is more work, but possible https://perfetto.dev/docs/quickstart/linux-tracing


Thank you!


It’s a mixture of Chinese Whispers and Telephone, two names for the same game.


They were the same a long time ago, but there has been some drift. If you use the wrong typeface, it’s still intelligible but looks strange.

Is there any evidence (yet?) of an autoimmune disease caused by the immune system accidentally attacking part of the micro-biome?


Yes, as far as I know. I thought this was a nice overview: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6300652/


The immune systems does nothing by accident. The immune system is always trying to keep the microbiome in balance and the microbiome helps the immune system as well.

There is no winning, only balance.


Idk if there's evidence of it but I know many people claim they developed celiac disease after a course of black label antibiotics


Great question. Not that I have heard of.


If you’re not speculatively executing, you don’t need a branch hint because you don’t need to speculate which way it goes.

Also, I don’t think executing both sides of a branch ever took off on any mainstream CPUs (unless Itanium counts). It wastes power to spend half your execution units on things that won’t be committed, why not use them on the other hyperthread instead?

That part I am sure off. I will double check with a friend of mine of of curiosity, but one thing to note is that the execution units are processing branches up to the point when branch is evaluated, then the false path is dropped.

Back then the speed was trumping the power draw. I am not sure what are the priorities today.

In terms of hyperthread, i don't think you can safely execute instructions of both siblings due to possible shared cache mem clashes. But I am guessing now. Its been a while since I have been working that low level to remember the details.


I don't know of any CPU that speculates both sides of a branch. I work on a CPU design team.

Modern CPUs speculate hundreds of instructions ahead, and with just a dozen branches you can have a few thousand different paths. It makes more sense to speculate down one path with very high accuracy.


This is the right answer. :)

I think a lot of folks get mixed up with GPU and/or SIMD architecture, where you execute both sides of the branch out of necessity: Some of the lanes need to go one way and some the other, so you have to do both.


I’ve always thought this would be an interesting use for a hyperthread (send it to execute both sides of an if, when the programmers knows the branch predictor is likely to not be able to know which side is right). But, never got around to coding anything like that up…


the problem is that when you care (unpredictable but hot branches), there are probably too many of them to execute in parallel (use up all your speculation depth). 2^n, you know!

not to mention that you burn a lot more power.
