> You are paid based on how difficult you are to replace. Hence the location based pay

You're partially right. Pay is very much about how difficult you are to replace. However Location in many industries is no longer the dominant input.

Location is the dominant input in an office-centric model, but isn't in a Remote model. In an office centric model, the company would have to pick where to locate the office and that location would have a "commute radius" in which they could effectively expect their employees to willingly come in to the office from. This meant that any physical office's "commute radius" was effectively its talent pool.

So if you put your office in a high cost of living area, you now have to pay enough for people to live in that area or be willing to commute in from lower cost of living areas. This reality is the foundation for the "location based pay" detente between Labor and Capital.

It's worth noting that these things are also interdependent and self reinforcing. Eg: An area (like Silicon Valley, or any other business cluster) has a higher density of talent, which is more attractive to employers, which means more employers want to be in that area. More employers means more competition for that talent, which drives wages up. As those wages then filter into the market you see the price for supply constrained necessities (houses typically) go up, and often times that will drive cost of living up.

In a remote work world, this entire cycle is dramatically disbursed and the core foundation of the "location based pay" detente between Labor and Capital is shattered. What this ultimately means is that Capital no longer pays for Talent + Location + Competitive wages within that location. Instead they pay for Talent + Availability (timezones mostly, but internet connectivity is in there as well). This should, in theory, drive a larger talent pool, which, depending on demand for that talent, might lower wages in a given "Availability". If it does, then the cycle starts anew as Employers start to seek out ways to be in that "Availability".

The big question one needs to ask is whether there is enough demand to suck up all the talent within the workable "Availabilities". If there is, then wages stay the same or go up. If there isn't, then wages go down.

My personal opinion is that any company doing "location based pay" in a remote work world is shooting themselves in the foot (unless they have market power in those locations).
There are stone walls between, and they block reception pretty dramatically.

There have been cases of people who are not law enforcement planting evidence on someone’s computer, then calling law enforcement. Which law enforcement then persues aggressively, of course. Links in sibling comments.
I know a guy who got a perfect on his SAT at my lower middle class suburban high school back in 2004 or so. He got rejected from Harvard. Even the most prestigious school around the Kansas City Metropolitan area only gets 1 or 2 people going to Ivy League schools every year out of maybe 200. Which I think is funny because they definitely bill themselves as an “Ivy League Prep” type of school.
First I’d say find joy in the fact that you’re even acknowledging that you’re at this point. Like all things, the situation is impermanent and you know that something can change if you put the effort in.

When I was at a similar point I decided to commit myself to a physical practice. I didn’t know what it would be, but I knew changing my body and my relation to it would somehow unlock things. It’s going to look different for everyone, but for me I started by conquering my fear of swimming (early childhood trauma from drowning). I then started going to a gym, didn’t love it, but took some strength classes and did a lot of cardio on the rowing machine. I then fell into an intense physical yoga practice of 5x week for three years, which was life changing. Then I found myself training Muay Thai. Just find something that works for you and where your body is at. As a music teacher of mine said to me, there’s nothing wrong with being where you’re at, just keep practicing.

In the midst of all that I spent two years in therapy, during which time I wrote in a journal every day (based off of morning pages from the artist’s way). It was super helpful to have an established physical practice while working with a therapist, as a lot of stuff comes up and often times the best thing to do is to move it physically out of your body (check out “The Body Keeps the Score” if you haven’t yet).

But, don’t think too much about the whole path. Just start with a single commitment to something and keep walking.
I think the main problem here is with transitions between animation states and matching each animation to the context.
If ML motion matching[1] becomes popular in the industry, I think it would smooth out these issues a lot.

Ok so many things are like 90% correct here but missing the crucial 10%.

Fannie and Freddie are not end holders of your mortgage. They sell it ahead and because they’re govt entities, they actually pay less for offloading that risk off their balance sheet than a typical bank would. As you say, they are guarantors. This means you as a taxpayer are on the hook only during events of default which happen once a decade if that. 2008 was a massive one off.

Gnma loans are sub prime as you’d know but they’re also just guarantors. They’re not literally lending money.

The cost of these guarantees is typically very very low compared to the size of the US govt. FNMA is like a $47 billion company. And that is with full conservatorship. It’ll likely expand in size as the public takes on more risk. But it’ll still be very small.

Your second paragraph is also like 95% correct. I’m not sure what you mean by increased money supply in the future. Increasing debt is increased money supply in the present, not in the future. Econ 101 would tell you it means reduced purchasing power but that doesn’t account for how much the US dominates the world. There are several untapped sources of low labor and costs around the planet. This is currently a non issue unless we suffer a double whammy of continuous high rates and the discarding of the $$$ as the worlds leading exchange currency.

The last paragraph I understand but disagree with. Economic growth imo is driven by loose monetary policy and almost nothing else. Human ingenuity or labor capital continues to be as high as it ever was in the highest echelons of research, finance, industry etc (compared to the revenue being produced). But that’s just my opinion. It is likely someone has studied this but I’m too lazy to search and then find a study where I find immediate issues with the way it is structured right in the abstract.
> and a property assessor calculated that our house represents 30-35% of the total value of our property.

THIS!

I live in Ontario (Canada) and my property assessment shows something similar, the value of the home is ~40% of the assessed value.

There are plots of land in Toronto where the house is not livable selling for north of a million dollars. Given they have no house, it is purely land value.

IANAGD, most graphically intense games are using a hybrid approach where RT will inform lighting/shadows and reflections but still rely on traditional rasterization heavily. That gives you a good bit of room to fudge the raytracing since the rasterization gives you a baseline.

That said, it seems like the culling advice for RT is "expanded camera frustrum" culling, distance culling dependent on size, and choosing the right geometry LOD. Beyond that they want you to aggressively mark geometry as opaque and carefully arrange objects into groups (BLASes) according to a couple rules so the GPU can skip as much work as possible.

Agreed. I'm surprised they specifically say "in bright environments" when, in my experience, that's the absolute worst-case scenario for dark mode. Try using dark mode outside on a sunny day sometime; it's terrible.
I guess I'm thinking more on the "how will it be handled by detectives/lawyers/whoever is involved."

I mean, say they found corporate secrets on your computer. You say "no idea how they got here but look at this weird USB." Would they be able to see that a small USB sized package was delivered on the day the victim claimed? Would they even look that far, etc, etc.

Thanks for providing some answers on the technical side though. That's def a thought too. I mean, seems you could be screwed if you're dealing with someone smart if you're being careless.

Correct. It's a common mistake to think of the stack pointer as just a convention for register 31 in A64. The 31 encoding has two uses. For some instructions it is the zero register XZR and others it is SP.

I can't be certain, I haven't gotten tested, but the symptoms I've experienced have been gradual, and have tracked with new neurological symptoms of the sort that people with MS usually get (numbness, spasticity, etc.). Could it have been triggered by asymptomatic Covid? I don't know, but there have been enough factors already that were sufficient. Again, this is typical of MS and demyelination.

Right now, they back it up with gas. They could at this point profitably add even more renewables, to cut down on gas consumption, as they are burning more gas than needed for that backup. Ultimately, they add batteries (or other short term storage) as well as hydrogen for ultimate backup. With recent natural gas prices there, green hydrogen would be cheaper to burn.

I've seen discussions of extra vacation days for jobs that cannot be WFH. I think that's a fair tradeoff.
The root problem isn't the central bank. Central banks are relatively new inventions while rent seeking is thousands of years old.

The core problem is that land ownership is an entitlement (derived ultimately from the application of historical violence) and not a liability.

I expect these entitlements will be expunged from humanity one day but it'll be as arduous to eradicate as absolutist monarchy was. Land redistribution of any kind always invites a violent backlash from elites.

The account is dormant.

The browser is unique.

And perhaps 2fa is not used…since it is not mentioned.

What I mean is your access context probably correlated with black hat behaviors, and so putting friction into the account login makes sense.

Particularly given the low value of the content of the gMail account. Because Google knows the content of gMail accounts.

Ultimately you got access by jumping through the hoops to figure it out…basically more effort than a script kiddy is likely to expend.

From my limited experience, that's always something the CoD teams have done incredibly well: maintain focus on suspension of player disbelief as their core KPI.

Technologies or tricks that enhance it are used. Technical masturbation that's ancillary is eschewed.

In the first CoD game, the illusion shattered instantly when you deviated from the expected path (e.g. linger in an area, backtrack, or take an odd turn).

But that was part of the focus and prioritization of effort... they could have improved that, at the expense of making the main path less stellar. They didn't.

I've gotta admire the focus and feature discipline.

Edit: One of the core things that strikes me from the video (not having seen generations of intervening games) is how far human animation libraries and mocap has come. At some point, they've climbed enough of the opposite wall of the uncanny valley not to have it be obviously wrong. Glad we finally got there.

And other side note, everyone should remember this is a multiplatform release. They don't have the luxury of spec'ing to the latest and greatest hardware from Nvidia and AMD. This has to run on consoles with decent performance and with a minimum of per-platform code rework and optimization.

I can see some consequences of people taking up WFH that could be good for the people who have to commute: fewer people on the roads / in public transit is a clear win: it's more comfortable. People working from home full-time could move further away and lessen the pressure on housing and child care. Prices could go down and allow those who commute to move closer and further improve their commute.

In the city where I live, there are ridiculous traffic jams every day during rush hour, and the metros and busses are bursting at the seams with people. Most people are "service industry workers", sitting in an office in front of a computer all day. Why on earth would we, as a society, want to not encourage the people who can to WFH?

Even if nobody were working from home, there would still be significant differences between jobs. I hate my commute and greatly prefer working from home. But even if I had to sit my butt in the company's chair, working in an air-conditioned office is leagues above having to work, say, construction under a scorching sun or in the freezing cold. Should the government mandate that I carry a 50 pound sack of cement up the stairs twice a day and blow a heater in my face during the summer?

It's true that some (most?) "lower-end jobs" that "keep society working" are under-paid, but I doubt that some people working from home makes the difference between positions significantly worse. Trying to somehow "tax" people who work from home just sounds like a bitter "since I can't have it, neither can you".

The solution is to make high school more selective - which is done in some countries. Around 12 it is determined if you’re on the college path or the tradeschool path and you go from there

I'm not sure that's true at all. There have been many demonstrably effective short-term crime reduction strategies. Broken window theory being the most famous example. Shockingly, arresting and confining violent antisocial people reduces violence in society.

Can you define for me what makes the suit abusive?

Is the defendant following the law and being wrongfully sued?

Or are they breaking the law but should only be held accountable if a disabled person has the energy, time, and money to go through the court system?

It’s sounding like “it’s annoying to serve disabled people, businesses should be able to get away with not doing that.” In my mind we are literally dealing with people who are abusing (ignoring) ADA to make a profit, but you are calling the OTHER side profit-seeking abusers.
The restrictions are for high speed and high altitude, not accuracy. You can use the GPS module at full accuracy if you aren't really high or going really fast.

Promoting strong family structures and communities. Supporting social norms that dissuade destructive behavior.
Nah. If you get to pick and choose you are no longer law enforcement. I get prioritization and I get that there are nuances and circumstances but if I break the law and nothing happens and another person breaks the law and they get in trouble, in the same setting, at the same time it's bullshit.
Also, cops are not paid to make their own rules or decide which laws are good or bad. We have this entire branch that is responsible for creating/updating/deleting laws.

Look at the current Makefile:

https://github.com/aretext/aretext/blob/main/Makefile

Build is literally a `go build ...` and install is `go install`. Adding any other language to the mix would make this a polyglot project and not be "equally easy to set up". The other question is, do both parsers exist? In this write-up they point to tree-sitter as a possibility which is a JS program that produces C code. This would be viable, but here's the author's take:

> I considered integrating tree-sitter, an incremental parsing library with parsers for many existing languages. However, running JavaScript to generate parsers and linking to a C library would have greatly complicated the build process. Today, aretext can be built on almost any platform using a single go install command. I’ve had users install aretext on ARM laptops, FreeBSD servers, Chromebooks, and Android phones. To maintain portability, I wanted a pure Go implementation.

So this wasn't some casual decision, but something they at least considered long enough to describe here.

And the parsing library itself is only around 1200 lines total (comments, blanks, and code). The parsers for each language add a lot more, of course, but should be roughly equivalent given the same library and interface. I imagine that if this project really takes off and performance becomes a real problem they can do the rewrite at that point. Right now, the code works, seems to work fast enough for its author and primary users, and it's trivial to install on any platform supported by Go. So yes, it would have been a premature optimization to complicate the build process, probably reduce the number of supported platforms (or greatly increase the effort to support the same number of platforms), just to have a slightly faster parser.
It’s often not the quality as it is the network. It’s well known that many state schools have excellent business programs (think MBA) but that you should only ever go to your local one, because the network you get will be limited to that locality.
