Well, no.

House prices appreciate over time because people's income increase and historically do so faster than inflation.

For instance in the UK, in the early 1970s, the average house price was less than £5,000.

Is it reasonable to expect houses to still cost about £5,000 when the average income pa. is now £38k. Of course not.

OK, what about adjusting this by inflation since 1970? Well it turns that gives about £63k. Clearly that'd still be a massive bargain compared to people's income, which means prices would not stay that low.

Bottom line is that as long as (a) houses do not depreciate fast because of fear and tear, (b) that population grows, and (c) that people's income grow in real terms then housing prices will grow and thus real estate will be seen as a viable investment at least to offset inflation.

Frankly this "housing can't be an investment" stance is ideological.
Never count on your fellow man to have a strong constitution.
I don't think this is a huge surprise given the insane cost of housing. Is there any data to show an increase in apartment and housing density actually drives down the median/average rental price?

In addition, I'd also argue that Asian, Indian, and Hispanic culture often requires the children to care for their parents which naturally means, either the children living at home or the parents living with their children. And perhaps the more Western culture of "moving out from the house" is dying, as those who come from a Western family are starting to see the value of a family living under the same household. The tradeoff is obviously freedom and independence, but it seems like a good tradeoff so you're not living check to check to pay for a room, and allows for increase in savings.
You are confusing two different ideas here. The Canvas format is MIT licensed in the same way that Markdown uses a BSD-type license. That means we are giving explicit permission for anyone to use the format and build apps, scripts, plugins on top of it.

Photoshop/PSD on the other hand is a closed proprietary format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_file_format
Seems like an interesting approach to doing things like online paid concerts. I don't know the space well, there may already be solutions for this in the market. Still, if this is successful, I imagine Twitch/Youtube etc. could quickly add this.
I've long subscribed to the philosophy that you should buy the cheapest tool you can find and use safely, use it until it wears out, breaks, or your skill surpasses the capability of the tool - and only then should you spend money on high quality tools. Too much money is thrown away in the name of "buy once, cry once" only to discover that you don't need the capabilities offered by the top of the line options.
It is ideal. I love it!

(1) If you want to learn AI / ML, there are ample resources online that do not require a costly, multi-year academic stint. The field is also maturing rapidly, so you'll need to stay up-to-date with online materials anwyay.

(2) If you want to go deeper into multiple areas of CS (e.g. non-AI/ML course requirements), then it could certainly make sense.

(3) Getting the MS from a "premier" school will likely improve your career prospects -- it's a matter of signaling, but still matters less than your work ethic & the quality of work you perform on the job.

(4) If AI makes programming obsolete, the logic & foundations will still be valuable -- e.g. to instruct or query the AI. Besides, this is a decade+ out (at least).

You and I are free to use whatever phrases are or aren't on this or any other lists. Unless that list is that of your direct employer, then you must use only the words they want you to use. And yes, your employer whomever they are has a list just like this one. Maybe it's implied and has different words on it, but it's still a list of banned words you can't say in the context of your employment nonetheless.

Imagine being an employee at Coke, and then getting mad they fired you because your advertisements you wrote contained profanity adjacent to the Coke logo. Woke mind virus gone too far? Personally I say "fuck" all the time in my daily life, I can't see why Coke would get all twisted about it. Sub in "Coke" with "Stanford" and "fuck" with any word on this list. These are the same things.

Stanford doesn't want Stanford using certain words on Stanford websites. This apparently has made a lot of people on the Internet who neither work for Stanford nor have any conceivable association with Stanford to become very angry. Because "what if" they come for you next? Sorry but the wonderful truth is that your words are not being policed by Stanford. Go ahead and say/write all the words on this list, no bad will come to you. There are no woke boogeymen at Stanford out to get you.
The legal rights of a corporation should rapidly decrease as it gains market power. My neighborhood bar should be allowed to 86 me for just about anything, but Madison Square Garden Entertainment, Ticketmaster, and Live Nation should not. Same thing with google and Amazon banning people from their platform for a single good faith credit card chargeback.
I remember calling up the IRS to complain I can't get tax forms over Tor for similar reasons. (They told me I was lucky to be breathing air, a rude response that made me not want to try to pay taxes on my meager earnings the next time I got a 1099 and wait for them to contact me if we have an issue)

This is another example of why open source software is so important -- if I want to grab Kali or Debian something, I can get a torrent file over Tor to know it's untargeted, then know the BT protocol computes a hash, and thus that I'm getting untainted software.

Microsoft purposefully creates a situation where it's less expensive to keep "upgrading" or hiring consultants, then evil folks come in and take advantage of folks who try piracy as a last resort or to self educate. It's sick, and costs lives.

Microsoft lies, people die.

You won't necessarily find an example that matches your use-case. I wouldn't assume that this was made with a regular note-taker or GTD-style productivity person in mins. Not every tool needs to work for everyone.

I think if your work already involves drawing flowcharts or diagrams of connected nodes, like in the biologist in the example, them it will make sense. If not, it will probably not be useful.
Dell pretty much did everything right, there's really not any stories of anything that went wrong for that company. Although they weren't really innovating and developing a platform, just making (really good) clones of someone else's.
I recently had some smallen private projects and I reasearached and tried out a lot of services. I needed cron jobs to run Node.js scripts properly.

My use cases have been:
- Web Scraping of some websites to check stock availability of a product (4 times a day).
- Web Scraping of a website to get an apppointment at a specific citizen office (every 5 seconds). If success then send a Telegram Chat Bot message to me.

The second use case was a bit tricky, because my IP was kicked frequently from the server, I tried out what the sweet spot timing for the ping was and my setup (all jobs with different IPs) was the following:

1. setup on my Raspberry Pi in combination of the package PM2 (PM2 is a daemon process manager that will help you manage and keep your application online 24/7)

2. setup on Render (https://render.com/)
Advantage here was the very convinient, quick and easy setup. I was able to link my Github Repository to it and the Cron Job would re-build the program automatically whenever a new master version on GitHub was available.
I used an in-memory TypeScript job scheduler library in my project that repeatedly executes given tasks within specified intervals of time (e. g. "each 5 seconds") until 7 PM and I let the scron job service execute the script again at 7 AM in the morning.
Debug Print Console inclusive.

3. setup on EvenNode (https://www.evennode.com/docs/cron-jobs)
Here the upload of my node.js script was done via FileZilla to the FTP-Server of EvenNode. Linkage to GitHub Repository is also possible but since I am not that familiar with the private key setup at GitHub I chose the FTP-Server option.
I used an in-memory TypeScript job scheduler library in my project that repeatedly executes given tasks within specified intervals of time (e. g. "each 5 seconds") until 7 PM and I let the scron job service execute the script again at 7 AM in the morning.

Both online Service were very cheap, paid cents only. The Raspberry Pi solution was for free (only energy consumption).
I can highly recommend render.com and evennode.com for cron jobs.

Great backstory! Been playing around with a very similar tool (for a specific, niche context: context for archives of government documents) and then was excited for GPT-3 to help solve it versus other options and have run into the same experience: Good, very expensive way to get what feels like a great solution and then you start noticing the many cracks.

But in real life, it never actually is an exponential. There always is some limiting resource or saturation point or something, that turns it from an exponential into an S curve. An argument based on "the basic rules of exponentials" typically ignores second-order effects (there seem to always be some, even if we may not be able to see them in advance).

You are assuming that they can go beyond the stasis. I'm not sure that's a valid assumption.

I thought it's going to take decades to dethrone Google. Lo and behold a chatbot funded by Microsoft is giving some serious competition to Google. Bing might finally beat Google in case they don't rename Bing or launch completely different product!
Still wondering if the Mastodon community couldn't turn this into an advantage. Right now, users are mostly confused why there is no common way to sign up for "Mastodon" as you did for Twitter.

Usually, in the end, they sign up at the first instance they know through media or the one where all their friends are. This leads to large instances becoming ever larger and eventually risking being overloaded.

So if new users don't care about instances and just want a central entrypoint and if the Mastodon community cares a lot about instances and wants to avoid huge instances dominating or getting overloaded - why not build some central "entrypoint" where users can sign-up and which will assign users to an instance?

The selection could be done via user-centric features - e.g. preference, areas of interest, friends, location, etc - but could also be constrained by the amount of new users that instances are willing to accept.

An instance could register with this service and offer e.g. a contingent of 500 slots for new accounts. Then the service could include the number of free slots for each instance into the calculation and eventually selects an instance which satisfies the user's preferences while also balancing new users between all instances.

I'd like a better build system for JVM apps. The standard is Gradle, which is powerful but hard to use. Unfortunately most other alternatives fail on basics like easy dependency management, support for languages, IDE integration and so on. This is something that bugs me enough I'd consider paying for it, and even considered doing as a product myself, but it's hard to know if there's even a market for paid build systems. Gradle has Gradle Enterprise but it's not actually a build system, and hard to know if they really make money given that they were raising rounds for the last 10+ years.
Go with an intel NUC i literally wrote a script to alert me on raspi stocks and luckily found 4 of them 8Gb versions.
Used intel NUC (I bought a beelink one which is so quiet) for much cheaper $130, and actually runs pfSense now.
My dell 7080 bought used for $160 consumes like 5$ worth power in weeks and has 32GB of ram.
Raspberry Pi is purely good for prototyping, or if you have any use for GPIOs. Else, the above options are far better for cheaper.

asks a drug dealer How do you feel legalization will impact your business? /sarcasm

Disclaimer: I dropped out, but i do wish i finished just because it's sad to now be 36 and I hate leaving things undone.

In all seriousness, i think higher ed has issues to resolve regardless of whatever AI does to it. The ongoing imbalance between the value one can extract from a degree and what you get out of it has been mostly impacting students other than CS or other engineering degrees, but with a slower economy we may end up sucked into the issue other fields have long suffered from. Speak to anyone in the environmental field, hard to believe this is /the issue/ of our time yet we value is so poorly.

There must be something from the past we can learn from. The Salem witch trials come to mind. The Puritans in their towns believed witches to be real. That they existed among them. That they were evil and harmful to their well being. This lead members to believe sightings of behavior to be witchery. But most concerning is the social mechanisms you describe. Where the risk of ostracization outweighed truth. Why risk questioning the claim of a witch when it can cost you your life? The panic grows and eventually takes hold of the town. Everyone is complicit in the behavior, regardless if everyone actually believes it or not.

This story is not unique. We've seen it in WWII Germany and communist regimes around thew world. This language list by Stanford is just a modern reincarnation of the same thing. The language list isn't actually about making people feel safer. It's a means of power and control.

The founding fathers of the United States were well aware of this human behavior. The freedom of speech. The presumption of innocence. Right to a jury. Right to privacy. Are all principles enshrined into law to serve as a countermeasure to our proclivities of mob rule and hysteria. These are all effective. But we now live in an age of social media. Mob rule has returned. But it's now all virtual. Do we need to formulate a new list of rights to counteract virtual mob rule?
> it doesn't really make sense to ask "what is really happening"

But something is happening. Really.
I think my point was that California's attempt was Dead on Arrival from a strategic perspective because it required its opponents to seek preemptive relief to force the SCOTUS to apply the law equally (or expose hypocrisy) .

This is something that the opponents could simply sidestep by not challenging it preemptively, and waiting to challenge it later.

The California Strategy only makes sense from the PR perspective because so many people erroneously believe that the SB8 ruling found the law constitutional, when in fact the actual ruling was that constitutional challenges needed to proceed at a later date.

With that said, I do believe citizen enforcement is problematic in both cases, as well as the less discussed precedent of environmental regulations.

I would guess advanced civs don't bother with radio and look instead for direct visual and spectrographic evidence.

We're very close to being able to look for spectrographic evidence and maybe 50-100 years from building a telescope that uses a planet's gravity well for optical enlargement.

Earth already looks quite distinctive spectrographically because of the free oxygen, water, and CO2. In the general case you look for chemistry that is far from equilibrium.

Hubble already has the sensitivity to analyse exoplanet spectra, and Webb can do much better.

But some way beyond that, I'd imagine it's possible to look for spectral technosignatures directly. Artificial lighting, heat sources, and unusual non-biosignature gas combinations would all be clues that life exists.

I'm also fascinated by Przybylski's Star, which must be one of the weirdest objects in the galaxy. It doesn't take much imagination to wonder if it's an artificial beacon.

Gender dysphoria is a real thing though. If you are male, all you have to do is imagine you woke up with breasts and hips. There is a lot of science on this beyond gender. There was a famous case where a guy had his leg amputated because he didn't feel like it was his leg.

I think OC left out sexual preference too. All you have to do is imagine that if you like women now and think its completely normal, then suddenly the entire world thinks this is strange and rare, and not natural.

Cis-females already do tons of plastic surgery to modify their body to fit an idealized image even though they have the actual chromosomes and hormones. So your beef is with the female plastic surgery industry as well.

The tricky part is that if early intervention ends up having been the right choice, then it's good. If there is regret later in life...then its absolutely terrible. But if early intervention was avoided, and it was the wrong choice, then it's not optimal.

Would be good to see some research on this. But I think taking action and it being the wrong choice is far worse than any other negative scenario.
Agreed. Buy the cheap one first. If you use it enough to break it or outgrow it, buy the best one you can then afford. So many of my tools I need just a few times a year. The harbor freight model is all I need.

Is it that hard to beleive?

The templars were a secret society (that is they had private initiation ceremonies just like any frat, social club, etc today - although the vows they swore were probably taken far more seriously).

They had a lot of money. That money was confiscated by force, including the torture and killing of members. This was backed up by lots of claims of devil worship and the like to get common people to be OK with it.

The money was tied to the records.

Is it that surprising that in this process all the records were destroyed? The powerful didn't want the records and the legal hassle they entail, they just wanted the gold. The common folks didn't want to be spiritually corrupted by the blasphemous works (that they likely couldn't read anyway). The records were probably burned or scraped clean and re-used (see palimpsest) since paper and parchment were expensive commodities.

There may be a document or two hiding in various corners of some old monastary library or in some book binding somewhere - as recently as 2001 some records surfaced from the vatican secret archives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinon_Parchment but like a lot of other knowledge of that era, most of it is probably lost.

I'm sure the female gaze exists, but it's worth considering that straight men often look attractive and even seek to attract women to impress other straight men (so sometimes the "dudes at the gym" are really subject to a weird inverted male gaze), and reality TV shows are so distorted and deceptively edited and we really can't cite them uncritically.
