> Musk or Tesla said 'we don't have a PR department'.

From an article titled "Elon Musk says no to a new Tesla PR department, doesn’t believe ‘manipulating public opinion’"[1]:

> Elon Musk rejected the idea of Tesla going back to having a PR department, and his reasoning behind it is quite revealing: He doesn’t believe in “manipulating public opinion.”

Okay, but we didn’t ban all speech, right? The collateral damage was mostly weird conspiracy theory subreddits and hate-based communities like r/fatpeoplehate. Given how it actually shook out, I think the ends absolutely justified the means.

To be fair, the "some seem to imply" is directly sourced from the analysis of a 777 pilot. Do you have a source for the "it disengages when you fight it" assertion? You're kinda calling the 777 pilot a liar ;-)

Do we even know how much/whether fully electric cars are ecologically better than ICE cars?

The tires are just as bad on electric cars. The humongous batteries are expensive to produce and hard to efficiently recycle. The energy used to charge an electric car still has to be created somehow, which in practice often includes... combustion.

The problem with this is that by design, it's a nice place for very few people. Zoning central land for houses on massive lots is effectively a cap on how many people can live there; it's an incredibly regressive policy that benefits a few owners of $10M+ homes at a large cost.
There is more than one selection bias in play.

1. Clued up criminals will choose crimes that are less risky.

2. The more ignorant the criminal is, the more likely they are to be caught.

3. When you are smart enough, there are legal ways to make criminal amounts of money.

Smart people either avoid crimes, or they avoid getting caught, or they do crimes with low penalties (some white collar crimes can have very high expected gains).

I wonder if bad liberal messaging is at all intentional.

Portrayals of liberals as righteous but set-upon underdogs helps feed persecution complexes.
Exactly.

I can't imagine how much media would begin to use 3d assets if it became an order of magnitude cheaper to do so.

Not to mention, imagine the pipeline of

1. "GPT-3, give me 10,000 descriptions of different doors"

2. "Dall-E 2, give me PBR textures for these 10,000 door descriptions"

3. Repeat 1 and 2 for every asset you need

4. "Dall-E 2, give me 10,000 floorplans for apartments, common areas, shopping centers etc."

5. "GPT-3, describe the contents of this apartment/common area/shopping center etc."

6. Use an algorithm to parse out the floorplans (ditch the ones that don't work, we can just generate more), populate it with assets specified in step 5 and generated in steps 1 and 2.

We could proceduraly generate entire cities for games with unique assets everywhere. It would still probably look nicer with a human in the loop, but the possibilities are staggering.
I hate them with every part of my soul! It's so sad to see the internet has moved from people making blog posts to share interesting things to just spraying it on Twitter in batches for maximum interactions.
They make their money by acting as an integrated intermediary. They didn't borrow money separately and then use that money to buy an item. They borrowed as an integrated step in the purchase interface.

By acting as the intermediary they are the only party that received the posters money and ergo the only and appropriate party to claw the money back from. This is no different from buying a widget on amazon. Failing to receive the widget. Initiating a chargeback for the money.

Regardless of whether amazon was actually responsible for providing the widget they received your money and ergo they are responsible for giving it back.

Indeed its not really any different from a direct retail purchase where you buy a box and if you open the box and instead of nice new widget you find one that looks like it was mauled by a bear. Can you imagine going to the returns counter and being told despite paying us your money at our point of sale you need to fly to china and sue them if you want your money back. It's just not how the universe works.

They most likely actually CAN'T take money and deliver nothing and make it someone else's problem if they both want to do business in the US and keep doing business with credit card issuers here.

... in historical authoritarian regimes, perhaps that was the most explicit form. But the most effective propaganda is what is considered ideology by the mainstream -- i.e., defining the boundary of the Overton window. See as a simple example the claim that stimulus payouts will de facto lead to inflation, or the implications in the shares of coverage of Trump's various lawsuits vs that focused on Biden's family.

In all cases, there is something left unsaid: an assumed, placed perspective that undergirds the analysis of and conclusions from whatever facts are presented. There, the meme (anti-meme?) at the heart of the deception lies.

Apologies, missed this response. Do you have an email address I can reach you at? It depends somewhat if you’re really interested in the “human” or “social” sciences, but I really do recommend that Eco How to Write a Thesis book regardless. It conveys the old secrets of how to enter humanistic scholarship — and was originally written to allow even working class Italians who might only have access to a library for an hour a week to do so.
> It isn't based on individual age.

It is. you are using a special anecdotal case in a family situation (that same person would use honorifics towards their friends who are much older) to negate the rest of Korean society that uses one's age to decide who is above and below you, and the necessary honorifics. DK effect is quite laughable to see from a non-Korean.

I invite you to address your professor or sunbae or the elderly without honorifics and see their reaction. You wouldn't be able to use your race card very long.
The open source models can and do generate those harms.

The harms themselves are probably overblown. There are plenty of deepfakes of various celebrities. Mostly people can tell the difference or they just don't care.

I think the reality is that training these models and paying ML engineers is incredibly expensive. Not a good fit for the open source model, thus OpenAI had to convert to SaaS.
Most people I know don't, and a lot of them still do pretty well for themselves, so... to those wo do: Keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better I guess, but don't pretend that it's universal for justification.

> I'm talking like, you want honey? You've got 50 different brands/sizes of honey available. Repeat for every expected type of product

This is one of the reasons I enjoy shopping at ALDI. When I want honey, I pickup the one and only container of honey and move on.

Shopping takes 1/4 of the time and requires no decision making other than reading a list I made earlier, so it's literally like a relaxing stroll.
Is this project still based on Scintilla? (which is also cross-platform)
Not a newbie. Let 'em use a MiB or so from my legimate browsing session with legitimate IP to perpetrate click fraud or auction fraud or whatever.

That'll make it harder for fraud detection to work (the traffic is legitimate, organic traffic after all). If enough people do it, tracking firms that ignore DNT will have garbage datasets or worse.

I've worked on systems for detecting this sort of fraud. Systematically injecting malicious traffic into legitimate click streams would defeat most anti-abuse measures that I've seen.
NotepadQQ uses Scintilla just like Notepad++.

I am curious how this new editor compares to NQQ since both are Qt based spiritual derivatives of N++.
> Changing zoning is pretty short sited if you have the goal of having an area that people love to love in.

This is such an odd statement; it's "not even wrong."

Vancouver zones most of its land for low-density suburban houses that accommodate very few people. It also has many examples of zoning districts that accommodate a lot of people in urban neighbourhoods that people love to live in. You can just change one zoning district to another proven one!
No, they have a label for someone who tries to do what you described, they are called 루저벡홈 or literally "Losers back home", or typically a white person that uses their racial status exactly in the manner you described.

It might have worked in the 60s or in South East Asia but certainly will not work anymore in East Asia, especially in a hyper connected world. In fact many foreigners who achieved celebrity status by lying were quickly cancelled.

By large, a non-asian person in East Asia is largely limited to an exotic animal at the zoo. Somewhat of a novelty for kids and adults to point and laugh "wow! we have foreigners in our country speaking our language".

You would see the same response towards a monkey suddenly speaking Korean or Japanese.
Three things:

First, MetricFlow does not currently support MySQL. We launched with support for BigQuery, Redshift, and Snowflake. I have opened an issue to add support for MySQL (and similar issues for other SQL engines are coming): https://github.com/transform-data/metricflow/issues/27

Second, what we call a data source is more similar to a table in a database, rather than the underlying database service itself. Metricflow itself is useful when you're using a single SQL engine - indeed, that's all we support today - but it is most useful when you're in a world where joins are a thing. That said, if you have one big data table you might still find it useful to have declarative metric definitions defined in Metricflow. Suppose, for example, you had a big NoSQL style table filled with JSON objects. You might define a few data sources that normalize those JSON objects into top level elements (identifiers, dimensions, aggregated measures) using the sql_query data source config attribute, and then that'd allow you to support structured queries on the data consumption end while pushing unstructured blobs from your application layer. This will be slow at query time, and only as reliable as the level of discipline exerted in your application development workflow, but it's possible.

Third, if we did support MySQL you'd basically connect to it via standard connection parameters - we have a config file where you can store the required information and then we'll manage the connections for you. However, I'm not familiar with uxwizz, and a quick perusal of their documentation did not turn up how one goes about connecting to the underlying DB. It's likely I just missed this, but at any rate I don't know how it is done. If they don't support standard MySQL client connections you'd need to write an adapter of some kind against whatever DB connection APIs they provide, in which case you'd likely need to roll a custom implementation of MetricFlow's SqlClient interface and initialize the MetricFlowEngine with that.
How do you dispute a charge that took place between Affirm and the delinquent merchant? Affirm has your money. Affirms partner hasn't delivered on your merchandise. Affirm by being the one in possession of your money for which you have received nothing is the one in breach of your agreement and has no power to enforce terms for an agreement it has violated.
It is more like uni-brow dismissal of the eagerly impressed rather than the impressive work in progress.

It is very good to keep an open mind, just make sure your brain doesn't fall out.
The game is plenty of fun. Well done.
While affirming power is one likely purpose, a complementary one is to sow confusion. I like this quote:

> Are you perhaps being a tad hyperbolic?

Not even a little bit. Go read about exclusionary zoning in general or see your sibling comment's link for some reading on Vancouver specifically.

> Is it fair to say that the suburb layout is generally considered ideal to live in?

Is it considered ideal? Maybe. Is it actually ideal? No.

Aside from the huge negative impacts on pricing and equality that we've already discussed there's the environmental impact, isolation, car dependence, etc, etc.

> I would argue that most people would move to a suburb rather than a dense city all other things equal.

This is unfortunately true for Americans and I'd guess Canadians as well. I think this is due to some combination of:

- The absurd "American dream" vision that's been pushed by car manufacturers and other companies for many decades.

- Most American cities aren't actually very good, so most Americans have never experienced the alternative.

- Fox News and other conservative media pushing the narrative that cities are infested with criminals, terrorists, etc.

> Maybe sprinkle in some high-density apartments around to supplement the single-family housing?

Great. This is what would happen if there wasn't zoning.

There are plenty of people on the way to financial independence who don't have that attitude. Who turn down job offers that pay more regularly for various reasons. Not even just morally/ethical, because they actually care about what they are doing day in/day out, even if they could soon or even now just stop working. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there actually is a correlation between rise in compensation and not having that attitude, since passionate employees tend to have more impact.

Just look at how many older, senior employees you find at established, larger companies where the stock has risen so much in the past that you just know they are in all likelihood millionaires (and not "just" single digit ones). And even in the (rather rare, I guess) cases that they mismanaged their finances so badly that they are not, those people are prominent and established enough that another company would take them for more comp in a heartbeat. And yet they stay.

Your opinion is not universal. Don't pretend that it is in order to justify yourself.
None of your comment addresses my actual question. Your first is a failed attempt at a gotcha

That's a curious characterization given your original question is a gotcha question, someone just replied to it as if it wasn't.
> Ask yourself if you would like to spend 45 minutes aboard the bus system as opposed to 15 min. in a car

Ask yourself how the options would be different if cities weren't so focused on cars.

Edit: To be less vague - my choices to get to work are 20 minutes on bike basically for free, 25 minutes via metro for ~$100 a month, or 40 minutes by car for about $500 a month in tolls and parking plus thousands a year for the car itself and maintenance. There's no reason this can't be the norm in the US aside from local politicians deciding they don't want it.
Agreed. Metal spatulas are great. I've found that dawn is a sufficiently good degreaser to force me to reseason every few years. That's not acceptable to me. (Yes, I'm that lazy.) Plus, the Dawn doesn't really help vs. the pot scrubber.
I agree. Montreal is better than Vancouver. They have a really good mix of height limited multi family zoning and commercial streets.
Criticisms of pragmatism don’t typically depend on failure to achieve the ends.
Maybe you didn't read me clearly.

I get the subconscious thing, sure. I subconsciously find brands REPELLENT if I think they are familiar options likely because they are popular with ad-susceptible people.

What happens in practice for me is that I don't buy a lot of stuff besides core needs in general. But when I do, I'm super resistant, I have a defensive posture as a consumer. And the one time I let my guard down a bit is when I have the impression of some product just being good quality stuff that is advertised only in organic ways.

I mean, put another way: I don't have bias against searching for a class of products, finding a website of product X, and reading from the company about the virtues of it. I'm not as open to that as if a trusted friend recommends it, but I'm not opposed to it. But if I find out that the company paid for Facebook ads or whatever, it pushes it into a subconscious category in my head which is something like "this product is out to trick me into buying it", and I have a gut-level mistrust from that point on.
The whole idea reminds me of those people who got magnets inserted underneath their skin on their fingers so the tactile response allowed them to feel magnetic fields. It’s neat how our brains seem to rewire and adapt to new sensory input like that
But surely quotes are best taken in the context of the people who say them. The quote "You're not perfect just the way you are. You could be better." needs to taken into context of Peterson's work.

Peterson uses this to attack the idea self-acceptance and embracing your identity or expression. It's meant to be a foil to the "You're perfect just the way you are." mentality that isn't meant to engender the idea that everyone is infallible, but rather we needn't change our identity to conform to e.g. gender norms.

Of course, Peterson purposefully misinterprets this as a declaration of infallibility and acceptance of mediocrity, which fits nicely into the narrative the author is weaving.
I love the questions and wish I had answers! I honestly have the same problem with my software career too… from around 8 years old, programming was kind of my escape from the world. I self-taught a ton from library books, and then the Internet when we finally got dialup at home in ‘97. First installed Linux in ‘98. There was no learning plan, I just picked it all up along the way until ‘02 when I started undergrad.

Just like your questions about learning how to be better at reading people, I have absolutely no idea how to teach someone to think about software the way I do; I’ve been asked many times!

To further complicate things with learning or teaching any of these, I also was diagnosed with ADHD last year at age 37. Retrospectively, that makes perfect sense based on teacher feedback, report cards, getting 50s and 95s in the same semester… I’m sure that that also contributed to how this weird brain all got assembled, but damned if I can explain it.

Edit: thank you for this! I don’t think I’ve ever really made some of these connections before!
This is one evolutionary explanation, but hasn't been proven, and is not widely accepted. I don't buy it, as by the time you're feeling effects from ingesting something, you're already 45 minutes to an hour in. Additionally, our taste buds and nose do a great job of warning us about things we shouldn't be eating.
