Investors are banking on not enough new homes being built. We should simply build enough new homes then it won't matter who owns them.
The problem we're talking about here is pervasive, and needs a more or less universal solution, not something vendor-specific. So, while Apple has no reason to care about non-Apple users, we, as a society, should.
That's funny because I was reading him from perhaps 2006-2011 and came to similar conclusions. I was never sure if it was more because my economic views had changed, or because his writing has changed. I always suspected that latter was the larger factor
Parent was talking about taxes, not quite the same as donating.
Hard news needs to be treated as a public service, as in a government agency with the same rights and abilities as federal agents. Hard news needs to have review authority above that of the local state government.

The natural state of human affairs is crony corruption, plain and simple; currently we allow multiple corrupt states (local, county, state, each corporation's internal affairs, etc...). We should just admit our natural corruption and observe that only one can be king, and that king already exists: our federal government. The Federal government ought to make it their primary mission, as the ruling top dog in our corrupt society, do destroy all other corrupt operations stealing from them.

We are an immature, petty civilization. Let's admit our immaturity, and perhaps mature a bit as a result.
This hasn't really been put in front of consumers, has it? This is all very niche - how many even know that there is a Bing AI thing going on? I think it's far too early to make statements about what people think or want.
Just a completely evidence-free claim that's repeated ad nauseam. The big European pharmas (along with the big US ones) are repurchasing shares on the order of tens of billions of dollars per year. If they're so reliant on excess profits to fund R&D, maybe they should have held onto those funds?
Another trick is price changes by some popularity metric. Advertise 15 dollar cookies, but only charge 15 if it is after 6pm and the cookies are cold. Peak hours? That’ll be $25.
I dabble in electronics and have made a few PCBs over the years with success. That said, each and every time I get back into it I find I've forgotten everything I know and start over at the same place each time:
Jeremy Blum's Eagle tutorial on youtube. It hits all of the key points I need to know from starting for the very first time to actually sending my part off to OSHPark or whatever.

Is there a similar resource for KiCad anybody might recommend? It's been about two years since I've done anything with electronics (I really do forget almost everything) so the gentler and broader the better.
If I have a marketplace (something like RapidAPI or Shopify, for example), can I use Lago to allow my providers to create custom pricing plans for their customers? Skimming the Lago API, I see that I can create all the parts of custom pricing plans, but can I group/separate them as well? As in, can there be pricing plans for company A with coupons for A, but company B has their own plans and coupons? Is that something Lago supports, or at least something that I can accomplish with my business logic (ie. prefixing plans with A, B, etc) – or completely out of scope?
Likely going to be a wave of research/innovation "regularizing" LLM output to conform to some semblance of reality or at least existing knowledge (e.g. knowledge graph). Interesting to see how this can be done quickly enough...
That won’t work until somebody designs a reliable security model for LLM’s.

In the real world, you can’t have a model that slurps up every bit of information in a company and then just lets anybody ask open ended questions about it.

But the security solutions for these technologies are far from maturity. They’re almost certainly addressable, but its going to be a whole industry in itself, will take years to take shape, and will probably involve underlying architectures that are designed very differently from what we see in this generation of models.
Nice, I can't even view the first link because I'm redirected to a stupid MS login and I have blocked scripts, not even a message shows, just plain black screen.

seL4 is for application processors, so CPUs you'd normally think of, not MCUs like you'd typically use in embedded systems. When developing for something we start out running against targets virtualized in QEMU. Whether or not you could get seL4 booting under a hypervisor that's providing/emulating less of a complete platform? I'm sure it's possible. We never bothered to try propping it up on Xen or anything like that. I have to believe someone has tried to. With respect to FerrOS, it wouldn't make any difference. It will work once the kernel is up and brokering access to resources.
Because governments don't want to be landlords. They don't want to have to orchestrate painting, drywall, gutters, electrical, plumbing, evictions, improvements, picking out tile, providing services that tenants grouped together with limited income might need like domestic abuse resolution and support, job training, food box distribution.

Institutions don't want to be in this business either. My wife works for one of the largest ones in the midwest, and trust me, they value the land and developments much more than the rents. Government subsidy is AN incentive to maintain the above services at the MINIMUM viable and provable state to get their handout, but they are NOT landlords.

Like McDonalds isn't a food company.

They are real estate developers.

And the experience of living in a 2-flat or a 4-flat is VERY different from a unit in a 500 person building.

The ONLY way institutions would be willing to provide affordable housing would be a constant squeeze on tenants and government and every lever possible to try to make the margins meet that of a luxury apartment. It never will.

And middle to low income families WILL SUFFER. A lot.

When given the option of direct cash payments to folks who need it, or giving that cash to an ineffectual corrupt business interest to fail to solve the problem in perpetuity... In America we always choose the later. Especially government.
Hmm, interesting... so basically DuckDB works in this case because there's no way to parallelize the migration of a single volume anyway?

This is definitely a pretty niche case, though, so there must be something more general that this was built to do.
That's good because the OP didn't compare it to the housing bubble at all. He just said "bubble."
An increasing problem locally (Boulder) is the use of the permitting process to push high-cost climate goals on home owners, leading to them skipping permitting and inspection entirely.

Here, you’re required to choose at least three expensive improvements from a set of eight (iirc), ranging from relatively cheap (electric vehicle charger) to very expensive (rooftop solar).

My home was built in the 1970s, the bathrooms had mold and had to be gutted, and the place was in desperate need of a remodel just to be livable.

I already have rooftop solar and an electrical vehicle charger, but that’s not enough.

I was expected to spend roughly an extra $40k — on top of a $120k remodel — adding additional features and replacing perfectly good portions of my home to meet Boulder’s climate goals.

I can’t afford that, but my house isn’t livable as-is.

As a result, I’m having a bunch of work done without permitting or inspection.

I hate it, but that’s the Faustian bargain people choose when government tries to leverage safety regulations as a stick to enforce expensive, non-safety related ends.
Unfortunately? This is the best kind of arms race, the one where we race towards technology that is ultimately going to help all of humanity.
Why are we not rooting for the search underdog? When google owns 92%+ of the search market, any competition should be welcomed
Before the super bowl, I asked "Who won the superbowl?" and it told me the winner was the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs by 31-24 on February 6th, 2023 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California [0] with "citations" and everything. I would've expected it to not get such a basic query so wrong.

Not just cost, but also personal risk. Every injection (or drug) you put into your body carries a risk with it, especially a vaccine. People should get vaccinated, but pretending there is 0 risk associated with it just causes more antivaxxers IMO. And don't tell me that 0.001% chance is the same as 0% chance; for the one in 100k people injured by a vaccine, I can assure you it's not the same...
Why would you be happier that there's less content, even if it's not for you?
At some point BBC needs to make a streaming service for everyone. Anyone with a 100 video content library is making their own, BBC is leaving money on the table I think. Unless licensing their content makes them way more money, the only other blockers I can think of are competence related and things being slow because of BBC's semi government organization.
If the underlying premise of the message is "mine is better", how would you phrase it without coming off as arrogant?
Then see the context provided by the comment I responded to, as it clearly sells her questioning as productive and not simply whining about slow progress.
"people can work only so many hours a day"

All productivity numbers are per hour, so they are not effected by how many hours in a day people work.

"why isn't growth the same as when we were rebuilding after the last war"

Tyler Cowen, and myself, are both talking about the USA, which did not have to rebuild after the last war.
AI will allow humanity to produce more intelligence with less (less labour) thus more spare-time for humankind. Like industrial revolution and mechanism did during the 19th century. Probably grey mirrorish though.
You can use the old profiles feature for this.
I was about to post this. Stupid requirement. Bigscreen needs to take the time and money to develop an Android or PC webcam solution.
Start reframing the value proposition of relaxing.

In my mental model, I look at relaxation/disconnection like sleep.

You can behave as if it’s not important for awhile, but eventually it will catch up.

Personally, since I couldn’t see the burnout around the corner, I didn’t have the internal self talk to remind myself that relaxation is not just a waste of time.

I’m now working on baking this into my every day life by building habits around it. For me, that looks like:

- Mindfulness practice in the morning (using the “Waking Up” app, which has solidified the concepts for me in a way that no other app ever had)

- Regular walks in nature

- Cannabis + music listening sessions

But I can’t stress the value of mindfulness enough. For me it has become a tool to check in with myself more often and to really notice how things are going instead of just getting carried along by the currents of each day. And note this is not the same thing as some common forms of focus/concentration-based “clear your mind” meditation practices.

(Or $10/month, in USD.)
This is sometimes done in a folk social engineering hack sort of way, by nicknaming certain pieces of legislation after those (usually children) whose tragedy inspired them. Amber's law, Megan's Law etc.

But even this strategy already reached oversaturation.

People just need to be more responsible, or else have fewer actions encoded as as rights instead of privileges.

Probably the hottest research trend in 2023. LLMs are worthless unless verified.
Nobody is forcing people who want to pay, to not pay. Most news papers make more or their money from advertisers, promotions, and such sources.
I wonder how much the upspeak way of typing affects this. People (even the author) often end declarations with question marks. Does this have any influence on the way the LLM parses the prompt?
A bit like Numi.app for Mac. Neat.
Agreed overall, but my concern about this is further alienating people on the margins with symptoms that don't fit into accepted disease frameworks.
I too would love it if the economy were still such that a family could be supported with only one adult "earning income" outside the home, for the majority of occupations and jobs, but without people having their social and professional roles limited due to gender. I can't imagine any worker would not love this. I don't understand what we're disagreeing about, but if we are and you'd like to discuss it, less sarcasm and implied accusations and rhetorical questions and more just plain saying what you mean would help.

Personally, I think that the only way we get this is with popular anti-capitalist movements, to change the nature of the economy to be structured around people's needs instead of maximal exploitation of labor for capitalist profit. But I'm open to hearing about other visions.
These shouldn't be supported by charity, thus the welfare state. It should be a burden put on all tax payers so that help can be provided beyond just what I feel like donating to. That's literally the point of taxes, and arguing that they should be higher isn't negated just because I personally don't donate to charities. It should be society as a whole (while given a progressive tax rate).

If Poland had been immediately and fully supported in defense against the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact by the WW1 allies would WW2 have happened? Or would it have been effectively aborted?

If we consider the dictionary definition spying has a sense of personal and private information being collected. For telemetry, one of the first questions would be whether the data being collected is the same — for example, something like the version of the C compiler you have installed doesn't seem like nearly as sensitive.

The other part is the question of exactly what consent means in this context. If I sneak into your house, I'm spying. If I record what you do when visiting my house, that's arguably still spying. If I say I'm giving you a free meal but at the bottom of the menu there's a warning that I use statistics about which meals are the most popular unless you ask me not to, that doesn't feel like it's in the same category as the previous two even if there's a pretty strong argument that it's best to ask you the first time you show up.
Shift your focus to reliability, not efficiency. It forces you to recognize when you've done enough, and it makes it OK to down-prioritize things to ensure you deliver on what's more important.
Yes, Microsoft the poor underdog.
I must be out of the loop.

What is a "15-minutes city"? What is the outrage?

Edit: was an easy google. [1]

>While many cities have implemented policies along the 15-minute city concept, disagreement remains over whether the model benefits residents. Critics point out that the creation of dense, walkable cores like a 15-minute neighborhood often leads to gentrification and displacement. Further, price increases, like those associated with gentrification, could be harmful to marginalized groups like people with disabilities, forcing move-outs.[53] Similarly, as the concept's origin is largely European, critics have argued that implementing the model could be colonialist and perpetuate harm to marginalized communities.

Yeah, the "outrage" is a gaslighting exercise.

Every company that relied on low interest rate loans because the Fed held the rate at near 0% is sensitive to inflation when the Fed is about to raise that same rate.
Please give a timestamp or direct quote of for that claim, because I don't think Hossenfelder is so far gone she'd just straight up lie like that.
I've posted this into another thread as well, from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, two months ago, on his Twitter feed:

"ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness. it's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now. [...] fun creative inspiration; great! reliance for factual queries; not such a good idea." (Sam Altman)
Why were the people living in that house so greedy that they cheeped out on buying/renting housing? There is soundly built housing in Turkey. If they were rich enough to buy sturdier housing then they could have done that.

I'm not pointing this out to blame those people in any way, but it may be legitimately they can't afford better housing and this is the best they could do and the risk of dying in an earthquake was better than their alternatives. Maybe sturdier housing everywhere would mean some those people would have been dead long ago from exposure.
You're getting downvoted but I literally just got a memo at work last week reminding people to stop using the terms blacklist and whitelist and switch to block-list and allow-list.
Bing vs. Google: the new AI-driven search wars are on
Indeed, apartment owners are facing millions in costs to put things right. That's not right, it should be on the developers who took advantage of this.
Xfinity charges $15/mo, IIRC. But if you supply your own modem they’ll blame it whenever there’s a service problem. So using theirs has one benefit, which is they have no one else to blame.
The problem is that a hell of a lot of your foot notes are going to be "we want X but X is subjective so we're going to force you to do Y which can be objectively measured using Z, nobody has died or got injured yet but doing it this way prevents us from having any responsibility for judgement calls"

If the code says no more than two wires under a staple you'll still have the intended effect if you put two small wires and one big one under a staple sized for the big one. But that requires judgement to get right so they just say two wires only.
We need variety in our daily work tasks, otherwise it can become tedious. I have a startup, so as a founder I need to do many different things. It can be a challenge to decide what to work on since everything is 'urgent' (code new feature, fix bugs, write documentation, test or benchmark, work on marketing/sales, get feedback from customers, etc.).

I devised a system where I just roll the dice each morning to see what I will focus on for that day (each area is assigned a number). That way I don't just do the 'fun stuff' and neglect the unpleasant tasks for too long. The random nature of deciding adds some variety to my work week.
In the last 20 years or so, working for Google or Facebook was the best effort to reward ratio. It's hard to pick winners ahead of time though.
"After that it just snowballs faster and faster."

That is the theory. The problem is the actual historical record: the slow down after 1970. If the theory suggests that the process is supposed to snowball faster and faster, why did the theory fail?

Because the 90/9/1 rule applies to most things. 90% of people are content with the defaults, whatever they are. They have no opinion on telemetry, especially telemetry that is privacy respecting. They're not going to go to the effort of modifying configs for that purpose, but that's true either way.

They wouldn't turn it on if asked, but they also wouldn't turn it off if you told them about it.
The web needs a "doctor's office" model for media subscriptions. I recalled that when print newspapers and magazines were a thing I would read articles in the New York Times or Time magazine without paying because the current issues were provided gratis in a doctor's waiting room. Or dentist, or a restaurant, or even someone leaving it on a bus seat.

The publishers overlooked the potential for shared subscriptions when they transitioned to digital. Or they resented it because of the lost money it represents.

"AECL never publicly released the source code, but several experts including [Nancy Leveson] did obtain access for the investigation. What they found was shocking. The software appeared to have been written by a programmer with little experience coding for real-time systems. There were few comments, and no proof that any timing analysis had been performed. According to AECL, a single programmer had written the software based upon the Therac-6 and 20 code. However, this programmer no longer worked for the company, and could not be found.'
> but in that picture, you can plainly see a bunch of other buildings in the background that also have "withstood" the quake?

Well the OP title is actually "...with almost no damage," which is not something you could tell from a distance in picture. Also, presumably, not every building in town failed to follow the building codes.

But in any case, that's nitpicking that misses the point: a building which presumably closely followed the building codes got through with little to no damage.

This has to be the main point, right? DuckDB isn't the first mover here (SQL.js, which is SQLite compiled to WASM using emscripten, seems to work fine), but perhaps DuckDB is better as a purpose-built solution.
Do you have good examples of companies loyal to employees? I have been pretty loyal to my employees, but I have had to make hard decisions when the health of the company was higher priority than loyalty to an employee.

In EU these kind of sheenings never happen.

Airplane sites tried with payment fees, adding 40/50€ for ALL providers. EU changed the law that the price has to include the fee for at least 1 payment…
So if the cheapest is paypal at 30€, they have to add 30€ to the price.

There are many problems with the plan, and lots of guardrails would need to be added, but this was supposed to be a hopeful post of a future in which those problems are solved. :)

But you bring up a generally good point. Since AI magnifies what is already happening, at least in the short term we should expect it to increase marginalization of those outside the mainstream.
