y'know it really seems like both purpose and outcome need to be closely examined here, if we're going to be emphasizing actual next to concentration camps.

what's the paradigm of a concentration camp? if we go straight for Auschwitz we'll get nowhere, how about the Boer concentration camps? Origin of the term after all.

What was the purpose? To concentrate the Boer population during a total war against them, so they couldn't supply and hide the belligerents.

What was the outcome? Tens of thousands of preventable deaths, mostly from disease. Success in the war, from the British perspective.

So, let me turn my spectacles to your example of, may I quote?

> an actual concentration camp

Which appears to be a migrant detention center. To put it succinctly, migrants who enter the country without filling out paperwork, and get caught, end up in one of these places for months-to-years while USG figures out what to do with them.

So a Boer concentration camp is filled by the British riding into a farmstead or town, kidnapping the women and children, and driving them out to a field and sticking them in a tent. A migrant detention center is filled with someone enters the United States without following the rules which govern that sort of behavior, and then, gets caught.

Where is the war?

Where is the excess death?

Ah well. I'm out of time and patience to express my contempt for your abuse of language and disrespect for the real horrors which you cheapen with this kind of facile speech.

This describes one extreme of the spectra. That is go fast but be dumb. As far as I know this works well for many people. There are other grous of people going a bit slower but making more informed decision. I think of it as a scatter plot of time on one axis and smartness on the other one. As long as you are siting at Pareto front, you can make money.
Isn't that negated by https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/vaccines-long-covid ?

Just a quick edit here to say that your paper specifically doesn't show any immediate ability to be infected by the disease having recently had the disease. However the point that having the vaccine can help beyond that is what I cite here. There are other papers that show that having the disease is less likely possibly to result in immunity compared to the vaccine, but I don't have that handy nor a good way to search for it right off.

> There could easily be a formula of like 10% of annual dues

I was on the board of a 10 unit condo building. The annual budget for the association was ~$60k. We had a reserve provision of 10% of dues, plus whatever was leftover in the budget at the end of the year.

Even with that budgeting provision we had several additional assessments over the course of a decade. Those assessments were used to address roof issues and interior renovations.

If something more structural had come up, that would have led to another (large) assessment, for sure.

That kind of trick is honestly the reason why I don't like reading engineering textbooks. A physicists prose is usually better, sure, but I'm not very good at reading so that doesn't bother me: What I can't stand is cumbersome notation, which many mathematical (i.e. FEM) engineering books I've read suffer from immensely.

Experienced something similar to with my previous home's HOA in south Seattle. New chairperson took over the HOA and found out that the rainy day accounts were woefully underfunded and several shared roofs were in need of repairs, so dues had to be increased pretty dramatically.

The frustrating part for me as a homeowner was that dues were assessed based on square footage, but out of 200+ homes, ours was one of the only 15 or so that were fully detached. We had use of a communal driveway we shared with 5 neighbors as well as a small private park 2/3rds of a mile down the road, but other than that, we were fully responsible for all of our unshared infrastructure. If our roof had a problem we had to fix it at our own expense, even though we paid in to the roof repair fund.

There were were many more homes (ie. a city or a country instead of a neighborhood) or if there was a greater variety of homes (ie. a larger percentage of detached homes) or if there was some obvious wealth disparity (ie. our detached home wasn't smaller than many of the attached homes) or some other mitigating factors, I'd have been happy to pay in on the assumption that "what goes around comes around" and "rising tide raises all ships", but in this case, my partner and I felt pretty cheated. That said, we didn't make a stink. We just paid the damn dues (...and then later moved somewhere without an HOA).

If feeding was the only thing keeping you from caring for an animal, you could either adopt an herbivorous pet (most small mammals, maybe?) or adopt an omnivore capable of eating a plant-based diet (dogs?). In either case it seems like a moral net positive to me.

...though I also understand the "no pets" and moving on attitude from a more personal angle. I've accidentally killed enough houseplants to scare me away from the "caring for a dependent living being" plan for now

We believe our serverless architecture sets the foundation for the Napkin function to be a LEGO-like block to build complex systems at scale.

Since remote functions can be called locally as well, this is both a remote code execution (RCE) and local privilege escalation (LPE). For more information, see the original source: https://github.com/afwu/PrintNightmare

> generating text which looks appropriate to the model given surrounding text is ... misguided?

Agreed - it represents a failure to adequately model/understand the task, but I don't think it is a "fundamental weakness" of text-based 'Chinese room' approaches.

> You gotta know the referents, not just the symbols. No one wants a half-broken Chinese Room.

"Knowing the referents" is not at all clearly defined. It's totally possible that, under the constraint of optimizing for next-word prediction, the model could develop an understanding of what the referents are.

You can't underestimate the level of complex behavior emerging from a big enough system under optimization. After all, all the crazy stuff we do - coding, art, etc. is produced by a system under evolutionary optimization pressure to make more of itself.

I know plenty of developers and engineers.

But the best engineers can only be about a handful, everyone cannot be the best. That's not what the best means.

Hm, no idea what would've gone wrong in your case. It sounds like something kept closing the websocket used to provide page interactivity or something?
Bigger condos often include shared facilities and industrial scale equipment that blurs that picture a lot. Not having a pool probably tips the scale in favor of individual houses in many cases.

The lowest cost is probably shorter condo buildings without pools. These won’t include a lot of extra equipment that detached houses don’t use, can use closer to standard sized HVAC and water systems, and benefit from increased economies of scale over detached single family dwellings.

Metric Labs – A clever digital agency
I was on a condo board for two years. We had regular reserve studies and raised dues almost every single year (1-5%). When I talked to other homeowners and prospective home buyers, they always said "seems like dues are pretty high for that complex". It isn't fun to pay dues that are ~50% of your mortgage payment.

But we were able to pay for repaving the parking lot (5 figure project, I think, I was off the board by then) and replacing two elevators (6 figure projects) without a special assessment.

I would much much rather have dues increase regularly and not have special assessments than the reverse. Deferred maintenance is not good (and obviously can be dangerous). It's one thing when it is happening at a single family home, where all the risk and reward are localized. But when it happens at the group level, being proactive is a huge win, even when it is painful.
It's strange - I'm OK being downvoted if I have a poor argument, am mean (and I'm not), or make a factual mistake.

People vote based on whether they agree or disagree with a political opinion (and is mentioning Manufacturing Consent so partisan in the first place?). I tend to upvote or downvote based on argument strength even if I disagree or agree with the generalized point of view.

That's my philosophy. So it makes me slightly bitter when people downvote 'just because.'

Maybe not as much as you'd think. As an example, the EDAR Gene (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2013/2/21/sweat-gene-iden...) affects, among other things, hair thickness and sweat gland density. It's isn't a small effect, and yet it's a single gene change in an otherwise highly conserved gene pathway.
Yes you work on sales to get the contract. Then often you must continue the sale to use the hours. Some people thrive on this. But it can be exhausting.
We are facing the same issue (Montreal, pre-WW2 era condo building).

I think the key is to:

1 - Gather some condo owners who are serious about the issue and want to help so that board doesn't get into a perpetual persuation war with the owners.

2 - Be transparent with costs and contracts. Yeah I get it that in construction there is a huge variance on the same job (say $5,000 and $30,000 for the same job and laymen can't tell the difference and in fact the $5,000 one might be better in quality).

3 - Hire a good administration company who is quick to response. his is optional if someone on the board can do the admin job but since everyone is working it's difficult to find such guy.

The 3/5 compromise is even worse than mere sub-human-ness. They were already not entitled to any human rights. Their owners also wanted them counted as human solely for the purpose of adding to their power in the Congress and Electoral College. So not only were they subhuman, but the goal was to make it even harder for people to grant them rights.

The opposition was to count them for 0. The "compromise" was to account them for "only" 3/5 -- not at "3/5 of a human" but "slave owners get that much thumb on the scale of all future votes".

That still wasn't sufficient to mollify them, and they ended up seceding, making it quite clear that their reason was to continue to own people.
I'm no fan of the website, but I think you can do better than to just plop accusations out there without some kind of reference, or something to back it up. I mean, didn't 908B64B197 get indicted for embezzling from their employer last year?

Because the poster is doing a textbook strawman argument, probably.

Original point: even in the darkest hours of the civil war, the enemies of the Constitution never managed to sack the US capitol.

Response (paraphrased): So?, only one person died violently, [various unrelated distraction arguments attacking claims not made]

This poster also advances the controversial (I'd call it a howler) claim that 'the former was allowed to enter its target' as if the Capitol Police intended for a sack of the Capitol to happen. Most people find these arguments downright offensive.

1990 was already 10 years after the first machines had some wider availability. 'Wider availability' means more then 20 hand-made machines and having commercial vendors (LMI and Symbolics, then TI and Xerox). Yeah, Lucid was pretty nice - too bad then went under when their investment into C++ killed them.

Actually I think Lucid was founded, because Symbolics did not want to further invest into a UNIX based implementation.
Symbolics did support SUNs with Lisp Machine boards (the UX400 and UX1200). TI had Lisp Machines with UNIX boards.

Later Symbolics developed a virtual Lisp Machine running Open Genera (a version of their Genera operating system) for the 64bit DEC Alpha chip on top of UNIX.

No, that's even worse. It's called planned obsolescence.

Instead, along the same lines as right to repair, such products should be required to release the firmware source code.
GitHub clearly stated they only used publicly available repos in this project. However, as many people are rightfully pointing out, those projects might still be either closed source or copylefted, and if Copilot regurgitates chunks of those projects, people who use it may be subject to infringement lawsuits in the future.
I've started using the vscode neovim plugin. It runs a headless neovim in the background so you get literally everything that both editors provide in one. It's not 100% flawless but it is damn good.

I used to flip between the two anyway - if I needed a better intellisense for, say, a large typescript project, then vscode won, everything else was nvim. Now I have the intellisense of vscode ontop of neovim.
Right. As the owner of a single-family home, I control my destiny. Yes, I may pay more dollars to replace my roof than I would pay to replace the roof on a condo building. But I am in complete control of when it happens, who does it, and how it is done. In a condo building, I am at the mercy of my neighbors to agree to the repair and how it is done. And in any sufficiently large association, there will be at least a handful of people who will fight any expenditure at all (yes, this is rational for short-term owners, but in my experience it tended to be the long-time residents who were the loudest complainers...).

Frankly, I don't have enough faith in humanity to put this kind of trust in a bunch of strangers.

I have to imagine that it's pretty rare, and I don't think it's appropriate to generalize from what appears to be a pretty sensationalist case. I expect the laws are usually structured to ensure that children don't fleece their parents out of money and turn them effectively into wards of the state, etc. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that states would encourage families to take care of each other, though PA seems a bit of an outlier in this regard.
