After reading the outcries about it I was expecting something, and it was very different than what the outcries led me to expect. His main point is that at the end of the day, gay and transgender (well, anyone with any sexuality) can succeed when they’re white, while Blacks remain Black. Not exactly insulting to anyone, and not wrong.

It came off as a beef with the system and with fragile folks in a world of unfortunate reality (only female-at-birth will actually experience pregnancy and giving birth, let’s not mix individual projections with reality) not with sexual identity successes. Yes, framed by a guy who uses all the metaphors and lingo from a non-PC place.

If you polled Americans in 1921 and asked which was more likely, Black Americans being fully equal economically and politically with whites, intermarrying at will, and as safe as any white anywhere in the country, or gay people able to marry and live open normal lives, I wonder which one they would have chosen.
But an increasingly large number of trades are actually done by the market makers themselves, "off exchange" or in "dark pools". And when more and more transactions are not done on "lit" exchanges, especially when systematic, this does hurt price discovery (and possibly other safe-guarding tools and analyses that come with that public and transparent data).
So you prefer the "good old" XML days? I'll take comment-less JSON over XML any day

Sure, why not? XML rocks. I'll take it over JSON for many purposes.

>Google is about to introduce a next-generation Tensor chip, updating the ones found in the company’s Pixel 6 phones. It is basically an artificial-intelligence accelerator in your pocket, allowing your phone to adapt to you—your own personal neural network to train.

Is this accurate? Everything I've read online only discusses the tensor chip for inference (running the neural network to make predictions), not training a new model for that specific device. For example this blog only discusses how they are making inference faster: https://ai.googleblog.com/2021/11/improved-on-device-ml-on-p....
Screw the apartment. You could save so much money living out of a van.

I honestly don't understand this line of thinking. "Why do people even want [tangible good]?"

If an explanation is really needed: it's nice to have a large, private space. People like cars in garages, a room for their work, a room to cook, a room to relax, a room to sleep, a room to store stuff, etc. Why do people bother with any of these things? Why isn't everyone a minimalist? Why do people even bother living?

It's bizarre and alien to me. It also misses the point that people are supposedly free to pursue happiness.
> forward movement does indeed give the tail rotor more authority because it has "cleaner" (less turbulent) air to work in.

the tail rotor is placed specifically so that it is outside of the main rotor airflow. takeoff and landing require that the tail rotor be in relatively calm air.

> "Moving forward" means tilting the rotor disk.

No, "moving forward" means "moving forward." "tilting the rotor" means "tilting the rotor." those are very different things, as any helicopter pilot would know.

I cannot discuss this with someone that doesn't understand English well enough to speak it.

I have no need to prove anything to you, anyway.

But yes, if they want to attract new people to tiling in general, they should use screenshots. But trust me when I say screenshots don't do tiling justice. It's something you have to use, and feel, to understand. The "look" of tiling is possible without tiling, so it doesn't look all to impressive. It's all about the usability, not the look.
Yes, as long as you start with a modest home that you can actually afford, it can work. The mortgage payment, including taxes and insurance, on my first home (a small 2-br bungalow) was hundreds of dollars less (monthly) than the 1-br shithole apartment I was renting (shithole because I was trying to save for a down payment). At that point, as long as home values do what they normally do, you can upsize every 5 years or so if needed until you are in a home that really fits, rolling the equity gain in the former house into a larger down payment on the newer house.

Mistakes people make: starting with too big a house where they are in trouble immediately if they miss a paycheck. Refinancing and taking equity out to spend on other "things" that depreciate or are consumables like boats, new cars, extravagant vacations, expensive furniture, etc.

Well, increasing property taxes or interest rates (or anything else that increased the monthly cost) would reduce the sticker price, but it doesn't by itself make the housing more affordable except perhaps by reducing investment demand.

Increasing property taxes in tandem with larger homeowner's exemptions might be more effective in only reducing investor demand (but potentially might hurt renters to some extent, though renting is a more efficient market...).

But, building more densely is a better solution...
Indian laws are quite clear that Google has an obligation not to allow ads on trademarked terms (used as keywords):

> Justice V Kameswar Rao also observed that allowing individuals who are not owners of a trademark to choose a keyword which is a trademarked term or use parts of the trademark interspersed with generic words in the Ad-title or Ad-text may constitute an infringement of a trademark or it's passing off. The Court also opined that the use of trademarks as keywords amounts to "use" in the course of trade in terms of the Trademarks Act.

( https://www.livelaw.in/news-updates/google-not-absolve-liabi... : )

Something similar is happening here - it seems clear that Apple is also bidding for the trademarked keyword "HBOMax" to show their ad to mislead the user to their app store. As per the indian courts, this can make Google liable if they don't act on complain from the trademark owner.
You've listed personal actions. Allowing affordable housing to be built is a collective / political action. The equivalent would be something like "you cannot say you are against animal cruelty unless you support legislation against animal cruelty", and I think that's reasonable.

This is a reasonable take but the government really does everything in its power to put its finger on the scale toward homeownership:

- up to $500,000 in tax-free capital gains for couples

- cheap leverage via low interest rates courtesy of the Fed and further subsidized by renters via mortgage interest deduction

- SALT deduction (albeit reduced as of 2017)

When officials all push the same narrative and ignore available relevant scientific knowledge that contradicts this narrative, that's how we know they became untrustworthy actors similar to politicians even if they were at some point considered scientists. It is amazing how the narrative pushed from above is everywhere the same, despite many respected scientists pointing out massive holes that smart children can see.

The issue with YAML is that it does not unambiguously distinguish between number/booleans and strings. JSON does, but only for numbers, booleans, and nulls. But there are many data types that need to be conveyed. For example, dates and quantities (numbers with units, such as $3.14 or 47kΩ). Such things are left to the application to interpret. Even JSON does not unambiguously distinguish between integers and reals. Even so, JSON pays for its lack of ambiguity by requiring all strings to be quoted, which adds clutter and the requirement for quoting and escaping. Thus, supporting those extra types comes at a cost.

I think NestedText is unique in leaving all leaf values as strings, so it does not need quoting or escaping.

Everything involves a compromise. YAML provides a lack of clutter at the cost of ambiguity. JSON is unambiguous, but comes with visual clutter. In both cases there are still lots of types they cannot handle and so must be passed on to the application.

The compromise with NestedText is that it provides simplicity and a lack of clutter by not supporting any data types for leaf values other than string. Thus, all interpretation of the text is deferred to the application. But fundamentally that is the best place for it, because only the application understands the context and knows what is expected.

I'm not suggesting that Pepper is the first, there was probably a consumer robot before Pepper too, and I'm guessing they've now pivoted.

I think if you can find another label than just "the first" that might help your business, as I think lots of people will question that statement, and it just isn't worth the argument. Being first isn't that big a deal.

Aren't sex robots also consumer? I'd think so. I'm not going to post NSFW links here, but the links aren't at all what I expected.
Does QE Cause Wealth Inequality?
Isn't there going to be a lot of further dilution between when a startup hires its 10th employee and when it goes public at $10B? Getting 0.1% to begin with is going to be a lot smaller when the money comes in.
Nash is a counter to your assertion. Tesla as well. Einstein, too - he exhibited compulsive behaviors and may have had ocd. High levels of intelligence often accompany greater susceptibility to mental illnesses, resulting in lower quality of life and ability to care for themselves.

It's not a matter of romanticizing the crazy genius trope, but likely a consequence of genetics. Hundreds of genes are known to accompany higher intelligence, and many of them are correlated with mental illnesses as well.

It could very well be that mental illnesses can be the cause of varied changes in perspective and neural operation in ways that we view as increased intelligence.

Absent a rigorous theory of intelligence, it's like we're speculating about microbes when the best tools we have are magnifying glasses. I think within the next couple decades, we'll have the equivalent of SEM and germ theory of disease. We may be able to augment adult brains to operate at the levels of Einstein or Feynman without the accompanying neuroticism or illnesses.
Every city relies on a bunch of cheap labor. Dishwashers, janitors, cashiers, cleaners, landscapers, baristas, gig workers, and on and on. Is it healthy for a city to need all of these people while denying them a place in it? We have this gross dynamic of essentially telling large swaths of people that they're around only to be the help and that they don't belong.
Look up “instancing” with regards to geometry on GPUs. The mesh can just be rendered twice with different transforms.

That said, it often makes sense to drop some of the decorative flourishes used on the primary instance of the model due to distance, or use a different level of detail. There’s really no great way to get around needing to tell the GPU to render the triangles twice (short of rendering the view to an intermediate buffer and using that, which is still twice…)
This entire list is wildly wrong.

1) Humans will go to Mars if for literally no other reason that “to do it first”

2) Is there something special about meat computers called brains or your definition of “consciousness” that precludes this?

3) The multiverse is a mathematical solution to quantum mechanics, what’s your serious thinker alternative?

4) Depends on what question you’re asking, but instead you’re blithely vague. Questions of “why” are not in the realm of empiricism, but questions of “how” might be.
The one cut scene I admit without hesitation ruins the movie (and so they were right to cut it in the theatrical version) is the happy ending where Skynet is defeated.

The actor playing John Connor looks ridiculous. Linda Hamilton in aged makeup looks silly. The whole scene looks corny.

And it defeats the "no future" vibe that worked so well in the first Terminator movie.

"There's a storm coming."
Insane for my workflow when coupled w/ SKHD. Wouldn't use macos w/o it.
The shared-everything vision of the future ignores the extent to which people's cars serve as extensions of their home and storage. Having a bunch of stuff always available when you need it, and knowing that nobody else will stink up the place, means that personally owned cars will remain popular for a very long time.
There are minimum per transaction fees for most processors, so if you go at this alone, and you'd find that charging very small increments may not be feasible.
To some degree the competition exists...you leave the iOS ecosystem. Besides all the trendy parts of owning an iPhone (iMessage, camera, "fashionable") the simplicity of not getting burned by apps (or the veneer or not getting burned as often) is clearly valuable to consumers.

What would an acceptable solution to letting both styles compete? (would it be controlled by the phone's settings and the end user can change how they manage their subscriptions? Is it at the app level?)

Cities and their existing residents have a right to protect the quality of life and neighborhood character they want. They are not obligated to accommodate newcomers and population influxes, nor should they be. Why does every attractive and desirable city have to be affordable or accessible? People need to stop being entitled and just move somewhere else where they can make ends meet, if they cannot cut it in a place that is in high-demand. No one is entitled to live wherever they want at whatever price they want.
From your other comments you yourself admit that this is a fringe opinion, and I respect that a lot.

I think one thing that would help strengthen your stance would be a plausible explanation for why people seem to actually like React and friends so much.

retirement savings don't affect day-to-day decisions or welfare, and most folks will not be selling their home, especially not in a recession, so those are both non sequiturs. long-term assets, particularly for the middle class, are relatively recession-resistant.
Your analogies don't really track. It would be like saying:

You cannot say you're for affordable housing unless you're personally willing (and eligible) to live in an affordable unit.

The rental income my wife and I get from our little rental house very nearly covers our principle + interest, so I think it's quite comparable.
San Francisco must exist in some sort of twilight zone where there are 1 infinity people that want to live there and if they build 1 infinity houses, all of the houses will cost 1 infinity dollars.

Edit to add: I have no interest in living in San Francisco, so we've fixed the problem. Only 1 infinity minus 1 people want to live there so if you build 1 infinity houses, everybody's house will be worth zero.
I think you will find that there are only a few countries the uk has not tried to colonise.

Personal opinion here:
Colonialism in the past was using muskets, rifles and the hangman to get the"dirty work" done so to speak, exploit resources, convert people from indigenous religions to a certain other religion.
Today, it is by trying to push pacts that benefit some more than others.

The article explains it's reasoning - most of the wealth created since 1971 has been in the finance, tech, and globalization sectors. Other sectors have been shrinking, but people in finance, tech, or globalization have been doing great. (I assume he's measuring "wealth" as in "net change in revenue", where this statement is roughly correct.) Those three sectors are essentially dependent upon the microprocessor - tech obviously so, but finance is basically the province of computer models these days, and globalization is enabled by the communication, data storage, and algorithmic improvements made possible by software.
I find it best modeled as a collective action problem. SF in particular, and California in general, has handed out vetos on housing with a quite free hand.

There are a great many people who have no particular reason to want to change their surroundings. Especially when they are keenly aware of how many of their neighbors will happily shoot down any effort they might make to make a killing.

In short, the massive amount of cash is realistically not on the table in the eyes of many. What they do have is civic pride, property taxes decades out of step, and an ever-appreciating asset. All of which they can reasonably expect to pass on to their children.

I'm curious about your pricing. The $100 is the price? Or that's the deposit? It shows that the robot is $3000 or $100 for 36 months. So "And you can now pre-order him for $100." which initially reads like that's the price, is actually just a deposit? Is that correct? I think you need to clarify the language around that.

I'm sure you couldn't offer the robot for $100, but does everybody you're trying to interest understand that.

I was also commenting on the "first humanoid" statement, so with these issues, I'd suggest you spend a bit of time working on your language and marketing and making sure you're being clear. Don't let little issues like this destroy your credibility and harm your product.

You can be clear AND get interest.

I hope my comments aren't coming across as negative, that's not the point, the point is to try to help because these are some issues that I find are destroying your credibility with me.
I'm fine paying another relatively neutral party provided they do not pass ANYTHING on to the final publisher. No name, email, country, anything. Too many bad experiences. If the alternative was to subscribe with Stripe or Braintree, I would just not subscribe. Sure, I might trust Stripe, but I do not trust the end-company to be reasonable or safe stewards of the data that can be exported. Time and time again, repeatedly, this has been proven.

There is a difference between trusting a single company to run all your transactions through them and giving your card out to the 20+ places you subscribe to.

I trust Apple (and Google) on data security several orders of magnitude more than any generic publisher. While I may not like the privacy part, at least they tend to hold it better than any other generic app.

There is another option: The government could buy/build/offer public housing as an alternative to the free market. It was done in the past and in other countries and I see no reason not to do it now.

The way I see it (and the way you put it) the free market has failed to provide housing to people, to an extend that there is no free market solution going forward. If the government (federal/state/county/municipal/etc.) provides and alternative to free market housing, they will directly be competing with private housing speculators. Prices on the free market will likely go down as a result (why pay $1,000,000 for a house from a speculator when you can buy a better house from the county for $400,000). These speculators will get angry, (and some bootlickers/sympathetic middle class) but they will not have the masses behind them to generate blood on the street.

This is not an alien solution, it is battle tested as it has been done multiple times in most countries several times in history, as recently as the 1960s. The only reason not to go for it (given your two other scenarios) would be that the government is so sympathetic to the few rich that it is willing to let everything else crash and burn in just to cater to the interests of the rich.
This was cool but it's kind of cheating auto rotating the pieces to the correct orientation. Good work though. I never thought of doing a puzzle on a device but I guess sometimes I am listening to a podcast and just want to keep my hands active so that I can concentrate on the podcast.
