Well, I don't see anyone really commenting so far that has listened to much JRE, but I've probably listened to 200 episodes or so, and while perhaps the tone / style / type of humor of the provided results you got weren't far off, the actual descriptions and prescriptions and content was just all wrong. Like those aren't actual summaries or representations of anything I've seen the quoted figures say So I guess, you made an effective fake news generator / textual deepfake that creates falsely attributable statements/quotes that at a surface level sound reasonable, but don't actually represent the person being modeled's real views.

Cool I guess but also really dangerous if people start linguistically shadowboxing fake versions of their ideological opponents that don't even share the same views as the real opponent.

That's the main point - much of the mold problem can be attributed to vapor barriers; if you have them, you have to maintain the thermal envelope and the moisture content; if you do not have them, you only really have to worry about it in perpetually wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens) as the others will let the air and vapor through.

This is why abandoned houses often don't have much mold to speak of unless you're in a very year-round damp climate.

So if we wanted to build mold-resistant houses that were designed to idle at 50 or 60 degrees, we certainly could.

Most houses should probably have more humidifiers/dehumidifiers than they do; much of what we do for "climate control" is very ancient technology.

If only we could go back to such an innocent time.

I don't think Tinder is any more an accurate way to evaluate how people love than this study.
While far from a good study, nor a good analysis of the data, it does introduce some aspects to think about in terms of what one wants in a relationship. For example, the PopSci phenomenon of Love Languages is not exactly the most scientifically valid measure; but it still has utility in making people in a relationship become more aware in how to listen and more effectively communicate with a partner. [1]

While the study does present the love languages. The section about “love attitudes” seems like it could have similar utility for understanding what one wants in a relationship. Providing some ideas to introspect with about one aims to feel and/or express in a relationship. I'm wondering if anybody here has any good resources on the topic? Since the site and study seems to keep mum on that topic.

You're doing the exact thing you decry in your post by painting "the experts" with a broad brush and scare quotes as being unreasonable and hyperinflammatory in their rhetoric.

That seems like a really, really strange take to me. "Server logs" is just one way of capturing usage data. GA (as you mentioned above) would be another, though I don't think that's in play here.

The point being, usage data is available to Google. Whether they use it (or not), now or in the future, is unknown to me.

The Steam Deck's Sales Pitch for Japan: It Could Have Been Better

As I understand it fuel prices have stabilised / falling. The reason prices jumped is because Europe was rushing to fill it's storage which is now virtually full. And there's a long term cap anyway, because high prices will just bring about alternatives.

Re recession forecasts, I don't really know enough to comment, they do end up being fairly accurate though.

I agree that Brexit is a long term bad thing. Unfortunately I never expected the big Brexit recession, it's just going to be a slow down in growth where we get further and further behind the rest of Europe.

What gives me hope? We had the biggest financial crash in a century only 14 years ago and we got through that. We had a global pandemic that basically shut down the economy, we got through that. We are still a prosperous country and we'll survive this crisis.

Looks like United was running flights from SFO nonstop to Delhi until Russia closed their airspace to US flights. Looking at the list of longest nonstops, a hypothetical LA-Delhi, assuming usage of Russian airspace, flight would fit within the range of a couple of aircraft.

> I maintain that it would be less complicated, less expensive, and more human-friendly to use data privacy rules as globally universal as can be achieved.

I think this is a bit naive. As someone who has had to dwell a lot on the specific nuances of German privacy laws vs GDPR or South Korea's, I have come to the conclusion that conflicting privacy laws are a designed feature.

I think lawmakers certainly have consumer protection as one of their goals, most privacy legislation has many features intended to benefit domestic industries at the expense of foreign ones. Or to benefit national security in some way (such as requirements for certain types of data to be stored on servers inside the country).

Even if the US was to homogenize with GDPR in some way, I wouldn't doubt that the EU would fast follow with a slightly different spin on it just to give US tech companies an extra set of hoops to jump through.

In a way, this is already how safety regulations work in the automobile industry.
I generally agree with your message expect of this part.

> Hundreds of thousands of people have fled to Georgia because it's one of the very few countries that allow visa-free entry. Many are illegally overstaying, because there is nothing else they can do.

Russian citizens can stay in Georgia up to 360 days without visarun (to nearby Armenia for example), so they are hardly overstaying there yet.
The term "validity" is thrown around a lot but there's no universal measure of psychometric validity. In simple terms, something is valid if it's predictive of something else that is useful (usually a behavior or another construct). There's plenty of studies that investigate the validity of love languages around things like marital satisfaction etc. More importantly, for the purposes of this study which is just based around self-reported preferences (and not psychometric properties), validity doesn't really matter. Reliability does, and there are is plenty of research around the reliability of these scales.
> It's insane enough letting Big Corps lobby your legislature

Well, it would be rather pointless to elect to hire a representative to represent you and then not take time to make your position known with them. They certainly are not mind readers.

And you can't realistically remove big businesses from citizenry as those who are stakeholders in big business are going to bias their position to what benefits their business. Business is people, after all. ByteDance certainly has stakeholders who are American citizens.

So we make a best effort to register those biases for the sake of transparency. The only real alternative, short of abandoning democracy entirely, is to leave it a mystery who talked to their representatives.
that's a solid distinction, dispute vs debunk. That's a keeper.

No no no, see that was still action taken by private business. In order for the government to be doing that, you need a government agent to walk into the companies, sign log into the system and delete the posts. And they have to carry a signed order from their supervisor and saying "I'm doing this for the government" while doing so.

Otherwise it might just be a random government employee gone rogue.

We've built a hybrid database that federates workloads & queries atop both a relational & vector component. Right now we've got fairly limited interaction between those two halves of the brain, but it's one of the things that gets me most excited when thinking about potential.

There's a lot of great work going on in this space too, by the way -- everything from PostGres plugins for vectors to vector databases adding relations to things in between.

It's going to be awesome few years to watch. There's a real pull toward finding a way to comfortably merge the two: it enables some pretty incredible queries.
What is more insane is that this is not considered corruption. Usually if this happens outside US, the US government itself will call that corruption.

Based on my non-fiction reading habits, I believe this is true for 90% of the non-fiction books I've read. In fact, most can be broke down into a series of highlighs / quotes.

What's weird to me is how google is selling this as a win for the public, when the marginal costs added by Dolby are so low. Even in the audio production space, Dolby stuff is a little expensive for an individual (surround sound plugins costing hundreds of dollars) but it's not a big overhead for a recording studio. Their product is quality and consistency at industrial prices and imho they deliver on this.

There isn't an underground of frustrated audio engineers dreaming of how theatrical sound could be so much better if it weren't for big D. Spatial audio rebels build quadrophonic sound systems for raves, but you didn't hear it from me.
"Seems like", and the reality are often different. That's some of the ingenious nature of these inventions—they seem like they should be obvious and easy. And yet they aren't. Not at first. It took a heavy amount of investment, organization, and talent to get to the point of stereophonic sound alone.
Another way to look at this is 2% if you split it over all the years the illegal behavior has been going on and then going through the courts.
I think the problem we have with deepfake believability today it just takes one weak link to spoil it. It turns out that we're somehow still pretty bad at believable audio and not even close with deepfaked 'presence' in the form of persona of motion. But if you pair a believable impersonation with something even remotely state of the art in the visual, you end up with something pretty compelling:

Isn't it allocating in the stack due to the "small string optimization"? Making string contents longer (or using a C++ standard library which doesn't have a "small string optimization" in the first place) would be enough to have it be allocated in the heap instead.

It really is nothing to be suspicious about. Full vote by mail had already been the norm in some US states for years, and most states allowed for it in specific circumstances. The infrastructure, laws, etc., were already there, they just needed to be expanded. Expanding it has always been in the national conversation, it has just been a matter of figuring it out and priority.

So when a global pandemic occurs and we're trying everything we can to isolate and socially distance, that priority changes real quick. People get talking and problems get solved.

Of course, sore losers will complain about anything to justify their loss, and this "new thing" was a prime scapegoat. It was also well known ahead of time that the mail in votes would be largely Democratic (because COVID was VERY politicized and democrats were more likely to follow quarantine guidance and therefore vote by mail). So when the votes came in, they pointed to that imbalance and called it "fraud".

Besides all that, there's no reason to be more suspicious of mail-in ballots than in-person ones. In-person, you mark a paper ballot and then put it in a stack... which then gets mailed somewhere else. If someone is going to be changing mail-in ballots, then they're already in a position to be changing regular ones as well (and every election security professional will tell you that paper ballots are more secure than electronic ones).
