I am not the poster you are replying to but calling that post “bad faith participation” surprised me. Stopping ethanol production will lower demand for corn so it is conceivable that this would reduce the marginal value in producing corn and cause some amount of corn production to become worth less than the alternatives (like planting different crops or less intense farming of corn field, etc.)

To me at least, not being an agricultural economist, the statement that the corn would be grown anyway wasn’t obvious on the surface; I too would have liked to have seen some further justification for the claim.

I think it was a reference to this famous quote:

Indeed. That's the "only the good guys get AI" fallacy. You can't turn off a government AI or a terrorist group AI.

And it doesn't have to be actually intelligent just useful. Or worse, helpful in creating a better version of itself.

In other words I don't think it'll be humans against the machines but AI Vs AI, where getting the most human followers is the key to victory.
Everything you're saying is completely different from a duel.

Generally, a conflict is resolved with words and arguments. Only when that doesn't work, it's taken before a judge, where it's still resolved with words and arguments, but with a neutral and binding arbiter deciding who's right. After that, the conflict is resolved. No violence necessary. Only when one party violates that already legally binding resolution, come a lot more steps before violence may come in, but at no point do the people involved in the conflict themselves have to resort to violence.

There's nothing admirable about having to resort to violence. It's a sign of failure.
Uh, no.. I don't believe I did. Asking it to count the letters in a word is like asking a human to listen for a 30kHz tone without them knowing that humans can't hear it. I'd expect a lot of false positives.
I don't think "learning deeper applications of algebraic geometry" has anything to do with "deep learning" in a machine learning context.

My best guess is that OP had a course about rather abstract homological algebra, which he only grokked after learning about applications in algebraic geometry, which were "deeper" in some sense.

Chances are that if Russia was taking a good beating, it would have used nukes. It signaled that plenty of times. The strategy with Russia is to arm Ukraine so that the ultimate Russian defeat comes little by little, akin to the proverbial boiling of a frog.

Separately, the actual leadership of Nato is on the other side of the Atlantic. Everything that Germany, or France or the UK, or any other Nato member does, needs to be sanctioned in Washington. If Germany was perceived to be slow, at least part of the reason for that lies in Washington.

I find great beauty in and spend a lot of time looking at the cliffsides underneath waterfalls, whenever I happen to pass by them on a hike. The somewhat random trickling down of water creates eddies of various sizes and shapes and I greatly enjoy just looking them over with my eyes. I'm sure you can relate, if not with cliffsides underneath waterfalls then with something that exists in nature that was created without artistic intent. Perhaps not in the natural world but in the world of the mind like with certain pleasing patterns in Math? In any case that is the level on which I feel I can enjoy these paintings and they do not merely create disinterest. I don't think the artistic intent being missing = disinterest.

Fifth isn't second, and two million acres of corn in a state with a $473B GDP is not the same significance as thirteen million acres in a state with a $180B GDP

Most of the country that isn’t on the early calendar is on Super Tuesday
I wonder if part of the problem is a confusion of meaning for "woke", coupled with a tendency to misuse moderate criticism as full-throated support for the extreme opposition.

The classic liberal stance is "don't be shitty to people", and, in turn, "call out people for being shitty". But "shitty" is pretty subjective, and it runs the gamut from "going out of your way to be specifically, personally aggressive and hurtful" to "using a word that in a different context might potentially be understood as critical to someone". It seems like the most vocally anti-woke people clutch their pearls in equal dismay for any attempt at avoiding either case.

I think there is a performative element to a lot of "woke" efforts, but I have to be very careful about saying that, lest I inadvertently carry water for someone who wants to use my words to justify racial slurs or deliberate mis-gendering or any number of other things that I think are shitty. It should not be "this self-described liberal said that 'woke' is performative, therefore there's no real objection to me calling black people [racial slur]".
This post hits close to home and could not be more accurate satire of the pains of property management. I spent a number of years building a competitor to RealPage's Resident Portal, ActiveBuilding (shoutout https://henrihome.com).

RealPage and Yardi dominate the industry with some of the worst software imaginable. The price fixing and competitiveness in the industry is a feature not a bug.

ActiveBuilding basically built thefacebook.com for residents where the sticky feature was online rent payment. They of course got bought by RealPage which continued to operate it as is for a long time with few improvements, but landlords were tied to the ecosystem and didn't really care about the resident experience as long as they could pay rent online and submit maintenance requests. Also who the F decided that they don't need spaces in Product names over there?! ActiveBuilding RealPage.

This would be a disaster for the ruling class. If there was any risk of such a tax reform coming to pass, they would nuke the whole country long before any such thing could happen.
As with Covid, I think one major contributor is the inflexibility of the supermarket supply chains. Even when local supermarkets have been missing cucumbers or something, they have been readily available, at slightly higher prices, at small shops.

Right at the beginning you could say that was down to profiteering, but from what I've seen the supply network for these places flexed and was able to reconfigure a lot more quickly because it's less monolithic.
I was all ready to come into the comments with "Sure this is annoying, but it's a symptom of the underlying problem of a lack of housing caused by poor housing policy." Then I got to this paragraph, and yeah, no, this just clearly price fixing. You have to convince your software provider to let you charge a price that's different than what they want you to charge? That is truly bananas.
Don't pay heed to the commenter above you. They have been guilt tripping Germany since decades. Germany would have been better off if it had kept it's own interest first, by drawing redlines around American intentions of taking out nordstream.

And I'm not even German, rather an American. But I do keep my eyes and mind open and realize what's going on. Why don't Germans do the same? Hard to think this is the civilization of great thinkers.

"the plan was to double the budget for child-rearing policies, focusing on three pillars: economic support, child care services and reform of working styles."

If you want it to work, ten-fold the budget or focus it in one administrative zone and see how it does.

Doing it half-heartedly isn't going to help. You need to guarantee an 18 to 20 year commitment to the program so that potential parents have assurance.
Probably people were "wishing" for the economies not to plateau or go into recession. Remember how they were saying, well, that's not the official definition, claiming the working definition used was not relevant. I think many believed that rhetoric and are now in a situation where they are confronting reality.
>They rise from the core mantle boundary, but they're basically temperature features, not structural features.

my understanding was that this was not actually a settled topic, and there was ongoing debate as to whether or not they were thermochemical structures, with the main evidence against them being "basically temperature features" the fact that they're not a classic plume shape

Unless your car has a turbocharger or other means to run a higher compression ratio and thus take advantage of the higher octane of ethanol fuel. I've seen this done in lab and garage settings (they typically don't retain the ability to run regular gasoline), but I'm not aware of any commercially available engine that does. Race settings similar things as well, but they are trying to get power not fuel efficiency and so you can't get a fair fuel efficiency measure.
If I was in a position to be concerned, I'd keep Wireshark open and go to the elevator and see if the music was in sync/starting at the same time. If it wasn't, that would send up some red flags for me.

Again, if I were in a position to be concerned - I'd move hotels with Wireshark actively monitoring and verify the network traffic dropped when I left the WiFi range, and also what kind of UDP/network traffic was at the next hotel.

But if I were in a position to be extremely concerned, I'd probably just throw everything away to begin with, including the clothes I was wearing, buy a laptop/ new clothes, and then, after escaping out the back of one of the stores and getting picked up by a random taxi service and driven a good distance, go to a hotel without an elevator and check the Wireshark traffic.

Unless it was some sort of very sophisticated monitoring, I would hope one of these strategies would provide some answers.
> That works well until companies refuse to hire (or become much more conservative in hiring) because every employee is now a liability.

Cry me a river is all I can say to companies thinking that way. Someone has to do the work after all, and demographics will only make the problem of a lack of workers worse.

And for what it's worth, companies in countries with extremely strict labor laws like France don't really have a problem either. In the end it's the classical "corporate whining" meme.
PayPal cannot take more money out of your account than what is in the account. If you have $500 in an account the bank will not let PayPal withdraw $5000 from it. It's not different from writing a check for $5000, which will just bounce.

The bank is not in the business of allowing overdrafts and then somehow collecting the difference.
I do think it's likely more of a luxury item nationally, yeah; I didn't realize you were talking specifically about Sees in its local area.

But even then, I wouldn't be surprised at all if had your grandparents suddenly had 20% more money their spending on Sees would have gone up by more than 20%.
This would be better positioned as a crop surplus and/or crop waste to fuel initiative. The government could still encourage overproduction of staple crops to guard against food shortages while being a reliable buyer of the the surplus to make ethanol out of.
Frama-C is indeed pretty cool, as long as your application is pretty self contained. Using frama-c on code that runs e.g. in the kernel breaks its models too much.
Sigh. The models do not "have a very good surface understanding," they are capable of competing strings of words in a way that we interpret as a surface understanding. I believe time will show this is a category error, not just an error of degree.

In much the same way that Teslas are still literally killing people when they encounter vehicles parked across roadways in 2023, just like they did back in 2016, the difference between the appearance of understanding and actual understanding is a much wider chasm than it first appears.

The LLM will not "consider" anything. Even transcripts we've all seen in which LLMs seem to acknowledge errors (rather than doubling down and inventing false sources) are still just text-prediction, modeling what it would be like if someone acknowledged an error.

When a particular LLM seems to take the corrections offered in a widely-publicized transcript on board and not repeat them in future transcripts, that's because someone acted to modify the model, adding filters or weights to ensure that the text prediction path goes differently in the future.
The biggest issue with IMAP is that writing a quality client for it that works on all possible permutations of the spec (especially with the botched Gmail IMAP implementation in the mix) is a huge, huge pain in the rear which is why there's a dearth of high quality FOSS mail clients… you've got the old standbys like Thunderbird and Claws and that's about it. Newer clients like Geary either die on the vine or get stuck in a somewhat spartan state because making it more full-featured takes knowhow, time, and manpower that's not generally available.

On the other hand lots of devs know how to work with JSON-over-HTTP APIs and a lot of modern languages even come with JSON serialization/deserialization out of the box, with makes writing quality clients a lot more accessible to a lot more people.
Yeah, this is how most E85 engines generally work. They have a E15 engine map, and an E85 and map. And use sensors to figure out which fuel is in the tank and which map to use.

Stock cars generally don't take full advantage of the octane benefits of E85 because they will blow up if someone fills the tank with E15. But in the aftermarket world, "corn powered" cars make substantially more power, especially turbocharged ones. They have the benefit of owners that understand to manually switch maps when changing fuels.

What's described here is significantly worse, in that it's not just landlords deciding to leave things vacant instead of lowering lease prices, it's a third party software that's coming in and telling a large number of landlords across a market what they're allowed to charge.

It cannot be put in existing pipelines. You can build a whole new pipeline that will carry ethanol. Nobody wants to invest that much money.

It's about protecting German workers' safety, not just "German jobs". They're inseparable goals. One abused worker is a threat to all workers.

Anyway yeah, realistically, the reason rich-world workers should care about poor-world worker safety is because it's in their material interests: They will be forced to do unsafe things at work, or else face being fired/laid off and the company will move the work to locales where (expensive) worker safety isn't done.

Having rented commercial properties, the way around this is to agree to the lease rent, but then negotiate a bunch of rent vacations, financed renovations, etc. which even out to having a much lower lease.

The commercial landlord financial infrastructure is broken, but gameable.

Also, a land value tax would fix this (and many other real estate market distortions)
That’s a terrible analogy.

Local governments also request funds from the central government.

Also, people pay taxes directly to central governments.
What this tells me is that there is a really big slowdown (Depression?) coming that threatens even the huge COH of that these companies currently have.

I asked for a song "about butts" in the style of Ian Dury, then refined the lyrics to be more corporate and businesslike, then secondly to incorporate references to Jesus and 6 random patron saints. This was the result:

"

Verse 1

My bottom line's alright, been in the news

It's an asset, will live and die by the grace of Jesus

Plus the patronage of St. Peter and St. Paul,

Is a butt worth more than a single share of a golden file?

Chorus

We got the capital butts,

Gonna shake it through the night

Doin' the cashflow and feeling alright

Gonna move and groovin' to the boppin' money-money-money

With the capital butts tonight

Verse 2

My assets are firm and so prime,

I'm always investing them around in my time

Doin' the capital dance, feel that portfolio jolt

This business got a booty of faith, I ask of the saints

Chorus

We got the capital butts,

Gonna shake it through the night

Doin' the cashflow and feeling alright

Gonna move and groovin' to the boppin' money-money-money

With the capital butts tonight

Bridge

Can you believe that we're still part of this show?

Ain't gonna let them take our guide from the grace of St. Dominic

Make it bank, make it earn, make it move 'till we're done

We gonna keep on shakin' 'till we earn the patronage of St Francis

Chorus

We got the capital butts,

Gonna shake it through the night

Doin' the cashflow and feeling alright

Gonna move and groovin' to the boppin' money-money-money

With the capital butts tonight

We gonna keep on shakin' trusting in the protection of St. Joseph and St. Jude

For the divine assistance of St. Michael, the Archangel and Eternal God"
> The bane of embedded development is awful tooling and people who aren't very good programmers inventing abstractions that do more harm than good.

Use VSCode. It's not great, but it's SOOOO much better than everything else in the embedded space (that doesn't cost $100K+) that it's ridiculous.

As for programmers, any programmer of talent decamped from the embedded world to anything else. As long as semiconductor companies refuse to pay real salaries, this will continue.

No. Just no. Installing random crap in any language on my computer is where things fail.

Use a bloody container. To contain the mess, it's what I have to do anyway. For the love of all that is holy and unholy, distribute a container. This is the kind of scenario that containers were MADE for--lots of random tools that need to be version locked and only upgraded as a single unit.
