Out of curiosity, could you please describe what you think that entails for a study like this?
Easiest way to see psyops and narrative control in action is to go look at all the deleted comments from any of the popular subreddits. If dissent gets you banned then you know something is wrong.
While there's no denying our current wealth as a society, there are enough variables that it's impossible to say that's actually the reason for the prosperity. We could very well just look at the history of war throughout the ages and observe how the victor gets the spoils of conquest prolonged the Roman empire's economy, why would that not also simply true for Pax Americana? The age of prosperity was especially true immediately after WWII and the military industrial complex has been humming along nicely.
Price controls prevent rents from reflecting the cost of building new housing. Therefore, building new housing is irrational.

If people could build a house to rent out at a reasonable profit (and if the planning commission let them do so), then they'd build new housing. It's not like there's a capital shortage in NYC or SF, or new houses are some magic unproven technology.

The increased supply of modern units would create a downward pressure on old unit pricing, and therefore the rents paid by blue collar workers. This would decrease the price of construction to something vaguely approaching national norms.

Rent control (and, at least in California, insane codes) breaks this loop, so we have a situation where there is a shortage of housing, housing is completely unaffordable, and building new housing is unprofitable. (Also, the cost of construction has been completely decoupled from the price of materials. In most places, material costs are most of the budget!)
> The guy lives in Israel, and is making classes in a language he speaks, he's not going to get hoodwinked into paying $3000 an hour captions.

What do you think is a reasonable price? Why is every company I find wrong?

It's not like you can hire an assistant that can work on it for many hours for a quarter of $30k/year.

And yeah I'm assuming he won't do it himself, which I think is reasonable. Service prices are fair here.

> thousandths of the cost you quoted.

Thousandths? So they can transcribe an hour of audio by hand for under a dollar? Be reasonable.

Though I think you did the math wrong, I was citing $300, and that's for a good few hours of labor to get everything written down, cleaned up, and synced.

If there's a way to do it with just a computer then ignore everything I said, but I thought the point here was that tech doesn't work well enough on hebrew.

> It's not a long article, but apparently you couldn't be bothered to even skim the one section explaining the exemptions.

I didn't click the link with exemptions because I was just giving an example of video content. Sorry? It doesn't invalidate my entire point. And what if those twitch streams were educational?

> I understand this is Hacker News where I am sure you'd gladly spend days coming up with every contrarian corner case to basic affordances for the disabled in existence than accept, maybe just maybe, you were wrong based off your initial assessment of a situation.

I admit that just fine. But if you want to prove the "maybe" you need to give me a real citation on cost that shows it's affordable.
sure, if you're going to live in a 3BR+ home either way, it doesn't take long to break even on a purchase in most markets.

but I'm living in a 1BR apartment that comes with a garage parking spot, an ideal setup for me personally. a mortgage for an entry level home in the same neighborhood is comparable to my rent, but it would be a strict downgrade to my QOL, as I don't actually benefit from the extra sqft and would have to put in more work to maintain it. obviously a house with a garage would be much more expensive. I've looked at 1BR condos, but the condo fee generally means it takes much longer to break even vs renting a similar property.
>Incredibly bad. People seem to be too comfortable in their safe bubbles that when confronted when dissenting opinions they tend to see it as an attack that must be the orchestrated by an enemy real or imaginary.

It's more; you must belong to the Other Team. It's an astroturf account. It's a troll.

For how could anyone possibly disagree with me and do so in good faith?
I think there needs to be a movement to not allow click-bait websites to interpret scientific studies for the public.

Even just the use of the word "pill" in the title to reference a novel drug discovery is a big red flag of media quality.

Can you, as a business, afford it?
Businesses don't have an inherent right to exist. If your business can't be profitable while paying your workers a liveable wage, maintaining safety for employees and customers, etc. then your business should fail.

Yeah I love some of these pop historical/sociological youtubers - until they venture into one of the tiny domains I know a little about, and I listen to their misunderstandings.

Then of course I think about how likely their knowledge of other topics - on which I "trusted" them due to my own ignorance - is similarly surface level.

What percent of your total net worth would you gamble on a 92% chance in your favor btw? Genuinely kinda curious because to me 8% is an incredibly high chance for something that would negatively affect you for the rest of your life.
The article is actually very reasonable and covers the study results well.

If an analogous system can work in humans, then this is an incredible result with major public health implications.
The concept fundamentally does not really apply.

Building lots and lots of housing will never induce more per capita housing use in the same way that better roads induce longer per capital commutes.

Because the fundamental concept of induced demand doesn’t really track with the concept of having a place to live. You need a place to live, you don’t start using more “place to live” because there are more of them.

It can only happen at the fringes — fewer shared leases, more people with 2nd homes. The vast majority will still have one place to live for their family.

Population mobility to desirable neighborhoods is also
not “induced demand”.

What other materials would you want to see though? Metal and glass are both premium feeling and very recyclable. Apple also does quite a bit with fabrics too. There’s a huge focus on environmental friendliness and it’s hard to have better materials that are also environmentally friendly.

The plastic stuff is usually a concession for stuff that needs to be lighter.
Outside of password hashing applications, which message digests like the SHA and Blake families aren't ideal for anyway, hash functions don't really derive their strength from being slow. If a hash is seriously broken -- in the kind of way that MD4 is, for example -- attacks against it may require so few operations that the speed of the hash doesn't matter at all. But, so long as the hash function remains unbroken, any attack against it requires so many operations as to make it completely infeasible, regardless of how fast it is.
They used to sell keyboards too, but there's no keyboards section in the store anymore.

However, if you configure a computer and add a keyboard, add the whole thing to your cart, then go into your cart and remove the computer, the keyboard is still there and you can proceed to checkout.

I'm not sure if this is intentional.

> I was not inviting debate

Point of fact, you commented on a forum. Expect debate.

But you're getting information, not debate. The forum works well. The rules are not a prison, they're a café. Don't like it, git. If you do like it, chill.
I have noticed that too, but didn't really think about that angle until you said it.
I've said this before, but I often think about what it would be like if the big AI companies actually honored copyright (like the rest of us have to, even though it is a very bad system) and relied on open access images (theres more than 10 million in various collections online) and improvements to sample efficiency to make their AI art generators.

Like if they worked with Twitter and Instagram to add image license options, with sticky defaults so users could specify that their image uploads are freely licensed, and encourage users to add alt text so AI algorithms and blind users alike have a better experience.

The result would be a better internet, with more openness. Instead, they've tried to just fly under the radar, upsetting a lot of people in the process by scooping up art whether the artist wants them to or not.

Anyway, open access image libraries are fantastic! Glad to see this.
I can see the engineering appeal in this idea: testing beyond the expected operational envelope will tell you which parts of the process break first.

As for applicability, every now and then you hear a disturbing story of some office being raided by the police / anti-corruption force - this is not unrealistic if you're e.g. a news agency in a country whose government doesn't always respect the freedom of press.

> A comprehensive multi-year study by the non-profit Epicenter.works, comparing the 30 member countries of the European Union (EU) on net neutrality enforcement, has found that zero rating business practices by wireless carriers have increased the cost of wireless data compared to countries without zero rating. This directly contradicts all of the assertions by major wireless carriers that their zero rating practices are “free data” for consumers.
Thank you for the follow up! This makes it much more likely that I’ll remember to give it a shot when the next applicable project comes up… Because I’ll probably have forgotten these comments and gone to check the docs again :-)
Another example is women seem to know if a male is looking at them. They will pull their shirt down to cover rear end but it’s completely impossible they could have seen the observer, they can sense it.
A similar programme for tank breeding and reseeding has been working in Queensland too. Getting tank corals to spawn is hard I believe. They're aiming to breed up higher temperature tolerant initial colony types to use for rebuilding bleached coral.

Small instances are "seeded" onto a bad spot with a stable base matrix like a scaffold, to develop and grow. The matrix either decays over time or is stable and not a problem left in place. My understanding is that beneficial fish and related species are needed for the full biome to "work" and the seeded early coloniser types help these animals come in from surrounding areas. Without this work, a more rapid colonisation by less beneficial types can happen.

Almost any remediation gets my upvote for trying, but at scale avoidance of the man made causes of coral death is much more important.

JReduce (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3453483.3454091) uses similar technique but with semantics for debugging such problems with Java decompiler and bytecodes.

The problem is we don't know if compiling with these functions follows the monotonicity of binary searching: what if a problem is caused by a special combination of two functions? You have to arrange these two functions in the right order in order to find the problem.
I am quite a fan of their Pop!_Shell. I wanted to improve my desktop efficiency by using a tiling window manager; I tried i3wm and XMonad, but none of them really clicked with me. Finally, I decided to try the Pop!_Shell tiling mode and it was awesome. (Hardcore tiling window manager fans might not agree but Pop!_Shell is a lot more newbie-friendly.)

Furthermore, you don't even have to install Pop!_OS to get Pop!_Shell. For example my preferred distribution is openSUSE Tumbleweed with GNOME, so I just need to

sudo zypper install gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell
wget https://github.com/pop-os/shell/raw/master_jammy/scripts/configure.sh
# configure.sh mostly configures keyboard shortcuts. Inspect it before running.
sh ./configure.sh

And then enable it. That's all.

Eureka Finding the key to ancient Egypt
This thought experiment is a wonderful demonstration of the limitations of thought experiments in philosophy.

The premise of a thought experiment used in this way is that the truth of the matter is ultimately to be found in your intuition. One just needs to properly ingest the experimental setup, and the right conclusion will lay itself bare.

This experiment is as absurd as the Chinese room experiment. You will be told that you have only properly understood the experiment's setup if you accept that Mary can somehow have learned all physical facts about a chosen color without experiencing seeing the color. It begs the question, because it explicitly claims that knowledge obtainable only through experience is "not physical" (Mary somehow "knows" all physical information about the color before experiencing it). "But wait, if experiencing red added new information, then experiencing red must not be physical, because... we assumed experiencing red is not physical."

Do you happen to know any of the background on the Smithsonian digitization effort?

Thank you for helping making this resource available.
Oops, thank you. I misread the "last edited" date on the bottom as the created date. That makes way more sense - my intuition was that I had read this article a long time ago, and a mere 4 years ago didn't seem right, but, I don't want to blame it all on the COVID era, but I've lost my sense of time these past 7 years.
Here is the actual paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01909-w#Sec8
(The linked one is a short news summary.)

Their code is public: https://github.com/AnuSub/Stata-and-R-codes/

Some of the criticisms here can be answered by the paper and the code. To handle the "green jellybean" problem of multiple testing, they apply the Bonferonni correction. (Actually, the code uses the Simes variant of Bonferonni, so I think the article wording is not precise but it's not a major difference.)

I believe the code has a flaw in that it does not apply a multiple testing correction to the confidence intervals in the diagrams. (See lines 3199-3217). This makes the diagram inaccurate but does not alter the number of symptoms that would meet the bar of corrected-p < 0.05.

The deeper challenge is of course that it is a retrospective study with synthetic controls, so it will not be a gold standard. I think the best criticism is the one they note themselves:

"Conversely, with the evolving awareness of long COVID, it is possible that patients with a history of COVID-19 may have been more likely than those without to access primary care and alert clinicians of their symptoms, which could potentially lead to an inflation of the observed effect sizes. This is potentially supported by the increased aHRs observed for symptoms such as cough, sneezing, fever and allergies among patients who were infected during the second surge of the pandemic, compared to those infected during the first surge"

How likely are you to go to the doctor if you symptom is reduced libido and you have no recent major medical issues? But if you have diverse symptoms AND recently recovered from COVID, you may be much more likely to seek a medical opinion.

My comments above are methodological and not at all meant to deny that people do suffer long after acute COVID. Some of the ratios (like anosmia being 6x more likely in COVID group) are pretty large and that to me would continue to merit further investigation.
In a world where we tried to use an atomic bomb to drill for oil, the downside of having a tete-a-tete with a dog seems pretty mild.
private pensions are typically not adjusted for inflation. you're trading a slice of an uncertain economy for a guaranteed amount of an uncertain currency. pensions could be inflation-adjusted, but then you have to trust that the official inflation figures actually track your personal expenses. it's a tradeoff either way; no one can guarantee that there will be enough surplus to support the non-working population several decades in the future. but at least 401k upside is uncapped.
I'm pretty sure he or his PR firm actually does this, particularly on Reddit (where it seems to be cheap to manufacture consensus). A lot of other big business interests too.

As far as people paid to bash him, I doubt anyone has the same incentives.

Not sure why only a few alt accounts instead of perhaps thousands would be used by someone who would want to influence what topics get discussed and what don't. Also not difficult to use a reverse exponential decay function to modulate votes.
> my analog accordion

Perhaps you were joking, and you made me smile, but there are no "analog" instruments (save perhaps analog synthesizers), because what could they be the analog of, or analogous to? They're the real thing, not an analog of something. You meant your acoustic accordion. It would be very confusing to call acoustic instruments analog, because even an electric accordion or electric guitar or digital synthesizer still uses analog electronics for amplification.

A Mahanian would argue that sea power endures regardless of the technological limitations of the contemporary weapon delivery mechanism, i.e. shell, aircraft, torpedo, or missile. The USS Langley (first US aircraft carrier) dates to 1921 and Billy Mitchel sank the SMS Ostfriesland in the same year, the first sinking of a major warship by aircraft. Of course, submarines had already came close to starving Britain in WWI. These are all the elements of "modern naval warfare."

Postman is a classic victim of venture funding. It was a great, simple, useful product, and then they had to become a rapid-growth business.

The app has been buggy since its first major overhaul, and it now also has incredible feature bloat. It's hard to find what you want, and the UI is constantly pushing you to make use of features you don't want to use. It no longer works well as a scratchpad because they want you to organize everything into a full API IDE, which is not something I want or need.

They were also given their test results. In a drug clinical trial, that kind of thing would instantly invalidate the whole project.
I think you hit on something really powerful here. Most web-based players don't seem to have it, but yes, at the time I remember even players that weren't explicitly editors, would let you turn individual channels or instruments on and off.

That made it incredibly easy to strip the music down to an individual track or sample, and understand how the parts came together to make the whole. The notion of a "remix" didn't even apply; this was default functionality of the interface and the form.

I've sometimes wondered, what if commercial music came like that? Like if instead of a 2-track mp3, I (or anyone) could get a 40-track studio master for any random song, and mix it myself. Vocals over here, drums over there, turn off the guitar for a minute and let's see what it's like.... That'd be huge. People would do such crazy things with it. And we did, back in this little forgotten eddy of music that the main stream completely forgot.
If you look at my comment history, you'll see I'm a bit of a broken record, but my records don't break anymore after switching to NixOS. It was precisely the breakage after every upgrade that got me to try it. With declarative config-based reproduceable deployment that can be rolled-back, the broken OS doesn't need to be a thing anymore.
A blind person can't see a painting, therefore we shouldn't paint. A deaf person can't hear music, therefore we shouldn't make music.

This argument is absurd. Nobody has a right to prevent someone form expressing themselves just because they can't enjoy it.
Another example is snipers, when sniping, avoid watching their target-person (through the scope) for more than a few seconds at a time. Because the target gets nervous and flighty.
In my few journeys into image manipulation, I played around the first tries and then settled for specific blend modes for specific results.
