What is then the position of James 2:14-26? Is that not also correct? Or was that improperly included in canon and now we're picking and choosing to only acknowledge the gospels and select passages from the old testament as acceptable?

Realpage isn't the only software in that space. A software which finds the lowest possible rents and keeps Realpage as a last resort would be useful. It'd be difficult to monetize.

After having read some of the changes, it seems to me more about language policing than offense reduction. For example,all references to black and white have been removed. The BFG no longer wears a black cape. The color of the cape wasn't removed because how could a black cape possibly offend? It was removed because of the ongoing Mao-styled cultural revolution.

And why did the Cloud-men become Cloud-people? Why is it sexist to call a group of men men? Why was the Trunchbul's description changed from horse face to just face? How does that help? Some people are ugly. It's a byproduct of the genetic lottery.

Overall I think sensitivity training is nonsense. All it does is force people to censor themselves before speaking at the risk of getting canceled. From your example: I'm not a gypsy, but even if I was don't you think the correct reading of that would be something akin to, "Gypsies in the past used to swindle, but now we can be cognizant of that behavior and not do it, thus being a better version of ourselves." I don't see why offense would necessarily be taken. Getting offended by reminders of the past that we didn't even live seem like nonsense to me.
Sure, I'm not trying to make any argument here that this is a good system or that it isn't afoul of any antitrust/price fixing or anything along those lines.

I'm just stating this idea that many seem to have here that these prices are being enforced behind RealPage support agents manually approving price changes is incorrect. In fact, property managers can choose to just not use this price tool at all, and manually set their prices, which can also require employees to submit approvals for price changes.

The whole "await approval" thing isn't the problem, that's just normal for lots of places. Lots of places require some kind of management approval to adjust prices.
This amongst other similar reasons is why large providers also don't want to allow plain IMAP authentication. Too easy to abuse and too disruptive to curtail.
Though, even if the supply side was immediately opened up, some redistribution is justified to make up for the historical lack of capacity and the inevitable decade it would take to catch up with demand.
You're trying to simplify the study, but it isn't that simple - they use pretty complex analysis to present their findings, so replying to what you said here is a little off subject.

> The observation that is also unjustified is this idea that whales can prop up the price, how does that work exactly?

Does it validate AI-generated art?

The computer doesn't have anything in mind, it is just random noise turned into something aesthetically pleasing. In fact, coupled with a random prompt, it is even more "nothing in mind". Here the artist has "nothing in mind" in mind, diffusion models have literally nothing in mind, in fact they don't even have a mind to put something in.

I’m biased because I used to work for Facebook a long time ago. So take my words with a grain of salt.

But Facebook research really wants to build amazing tech to power new experiences. The company has attracted many smart and amazing developers who want to pioneer innovation and want to see their work thrive in the broader tech community.

I’m sure this will have the same issues as the other Large Language Models and there’s a lot of work to be done to figure out how to distill a reliably useful system from something trained on so much human language which is unreliable.

I’m heartened to see them talk about needing to research how to remove bias, toxicity, disinformation and hallucinations.

This is something we need to focus on for all LLMs so I’m happy to see more focus on that in the community.
So what is the processor?

Well you took the time to comment on your feelings towards his art, so there’s that. I would argue you are proving his point. It is not meaningless enough that you just scrolled past it without mention.
I guess it depends upon what you mean.

If you're talking electrical and mechanical tech, I'm not so sure. If you're talking software, then yeah, the software industry has exploded over the past 20 years.

But I think that could be a problem rather than a boon: part of me wonders if non-software-engineering engineering is going to face huge problems in the future. Software salaries have really sucked the air out of the other industries, and software doesn't matter without amazing hardware to back it up.
Yeah, it's a very poorly written article. The actual discovery seems to be that the solid inner core is divided into "outer" and "innermost" inner core, both of which solid iron-nickel but with somewhat different properties and a gradual transition between the layers.
Compared to the alternative, though? The corn will be grown either way.

It's not hard to see 100 bushel per acre swings in corn yield between growing years even within normal growing parameters, never mind times of crop catastrophes. While everyone hopes for a good year every year, you can't plan for a good year. As such, there will always be times where there is way more corn than we can handle.

Which is what happened in 2006. A lot of corn, having busted the bins and having no home, was left out to rot. Ethanol subsidies were introduced in 2007 to build out more ethanol plants to provide a greater buffer in excess times when the regular corn market can't absorb it all so that we aren't both burning gasoline and letting the corn rot away to nothing.

I don't recall ethanol ever being considered better for the climate in a vacuum. It was only ever thought to be when you take reality into account.
What makes you think they'd behave any differently?
Octane on its own is an anti-knock additive. And ethanol actually makes your mileage go down because it is less energy dense.
>voice assistants pose major UX problems that nobody knows how to solve at scale.

My example of a Siri fail is not at all indicative of a "major UX problem. The fact that Siri doesn't understand iOS nomenclature and that iOS doesn't have the proper hooks to do something that a user would obviously want to do, is indicative of a total failure to invest resources in making Siri useful.

While OPEC is a cartel, it does not fix prices. It reduces or increases supply, and then the market decides price organically based on laws of supply & demand. So not quite the same.
As others mentioned, this is not a new finding. There is a lot of academic and industrial/economic analysis on this subject. Ethanol from corn was never a good idea economically for anyone other than corn farmers. It is also bad environmentally and places additional competitive demand on our food supply (choice and competition between corn going into food or fuel supply).

Similar analysis has been done on other crop feed-stocks (switch grass, etc.) and none of the analysis has shown that crop derived ethanol is a good idea.

I'm not a leading expert on this subject by any means, but I am a PhD chemical engineer and did a lot of research into alternative fuels science and economics about ten years ago. I'm not up on the latest research and analysis but the fundamental thermodynamics and carbon cycles of crop-based ethanol have not changed much in the past ten years or so.
Is there other crops that can be turned into ethanol that would be beneficial for the environment? Can't seem to find information on that.
It's a simple case of it's energy density. The energy content of ethanol is about 33% less than pure gasoline. Higher octane doesn't even necessary equate to higher gas mileage. As soon as octane is high enough for your engine tuning, there's no mileage benefit.
You don't have an ad blocker?
Sure true, in the old jquery plugin sort of way, I forgot that. Although that's not really what people call JS component's these days with Web Components/react/Vue sort of styles mixed with JS within the self-packaged components rather than a CSS framework with a couple optional jquery plugins.

Unless they modernized it in recent years, haven't used it in 5yrs.
Thanks, this is a good breakdown.

It sounds like, apart from companies breaking the law, the only caveat to service providers being "safe" from user data sharing is law enforcement, and in particular US law enforcement.

While this is something I care a lot about, I think many people would consider data use for profit, and data use for law enforcement substantially different, so it _may_ be reasonable for Google not to count law enforcement in their system design. This is a hypothetical, I don't know if this was a factor and I don't really hold this opinion, but I could understand it.
You mean, a movie?
As of recently, my setup for backups consists of 2x4 TB HDDs (from different manufacturers) with BTRFS in RAID 1, plugged into a small 2-drive USB3 docking station.

Ah yes - ownership of ideas and thoughts and stories. Fun aspects of capitalism.

This book should be public domain. The author has been dead for 33 years. I honestly don't give a flying fuck about who "owns the rights" to this story at this point.

But my broader point is salient outside of this - I think you're removing value from stories by trying to remove ugly parts. The world is ugly, hiding that and papering over it doesn't do anyone any favors. It's also beautiful and wondrous. How can we experience the highs without the lows? The good without the bad?

How can we know what the past was like when we change it to suit our mood? When we wash it away and drown it out. When we cannot to learn from it, because we have no idea what it even was? When we have nothing but a caricature of it hanging out to dry, with the complexity and nuance tossed aside, wrung out from it like it was a rag to be cleaned.
I'm unsure if the issue is with Stephenson or the writer of this piece (I'd guess the latter), but in Jack and the Beanstalk the magic beans are actually magic and lead to wealth. That analogy seems like one that would be used by a proponent of crypto, not an opponent.
Yes, the corn lobby's pressure is totally comparable to the entire push for green energy /s
Yeah, its unclear because the Lessor's management could be a property management company, the ownership of the property, a leasing team supervisor, etc. There's a lot of ways you can set up your property ownership/management/leasing teams, so there wouldn't be a single point to say "the lessor's manager". However, that management is not RealPage.
the advantage of taxing land value is that you can pass on less tax for higher density which means higher density housing gets higher returns for landlords incentivizing construction.

The article shows a graph of reasons why Japanese respondents were not having children.

Roughly ~22% (can't tell due to the graphical nature) responded "Struggling to conceive".

If you have a full FIFTH of your population willing but not able to have children, that's a lower hanging fruit to pick than somehow incentivising people who don't want to have children to change their mind.

Fertility treatment is almost never brought up... as though it were taboo. That needs to change. The cost of an IVF cycle is somewhere around $20,000 USD. It's a huge cost to bear as an individual, it's a drop in the bucket for a government, and pays for itself many times over when the conceived child enters the workforce.
Suspect "virtually everyone lives in government housing projects" would be an even harder sell...
If I give data thieving Google money, I am sending the message that I am OK with their data theft (regardless of going through ridiculous hoops to keep them from stealing it).
IMO "fixing" is the act of forcibly setting prices across a market, whereas "discovery" is informing your customers with up-to-date pricing info and letting them decide whether to adopt it or not.

If you need to get on the phone with RealPage every single morning and either adopt their suggested pricing or jump through beuracratic hoops to exclude yourself from doing so, that seems much more like fixing. They're not saying "here's the data, go about your day," they're saying "you are to charge tenants this much rent and you better have a good goddamned reason if you refuse."
The max length isn't for the user though. It's to prevent the user from inputting more data than the system can handle.
Well, no, not to defend it really, but the premise is that your use of the amenities of modern society, which people put a lot of effort into creating, is earned by providing profit to others, not merely an entitlement.

This conflicts with our moral sense (in part because there's nowhere you can go to opt out) so we backstop it with entitlement programs. But the premise is a least in principle fairly sound; not as evil as what you articulated.
But yet here the same principal is being applied to housing. Keep raising prices until you can’t, but in the mean time, make people poorer.

I don’t know if See’s candies are expensive now, but they didn’t used to be. That’s my point. Same with going to the ball game. Same with Disneyland (or at least not at this level). Movies. Going out to eat. Etc.
From skimming over the relevant portions of the complaint that this quote is excerpted from, it looks like "Lessor's management" is probably the management team employed by RealPage to manage the Lessor's property (Lessor having ceded management from themselves to RealPage). Please explain if this is not the case.

See sections 46 and 47 in the complaint:

46. RealPage and participating Lessors have provided one another with such mutual assurances, agreeing among themselves not to compete on price for the sale of multifamily residential real estate leases. They have effectuated their agreement through two mutually reinforcing mechanisms. First, participating Lessors have agreed to set prices using RealPage’s coordinated algorithmic pricing. Second, participating Lessors have agreed to stagger their lease renewal dates through RealPage, to avoid (otherwise natural) oversupplies in rental properties.

47. RealPage’s coordinated algorithmic pricing allows participating Lessors, in RealPage’s words, to “outsource [their] daily pricing and ongoing revenue oversight” to RealPage, with RealPage pricing participating Lessors’ “properties as if we [RealPage] own them ourselves”—that is, as if RealPage and its participating Lessors were operating as a monopolist.

This point is made many times over.

This same fundamental argument got a prominent researcher at Google's AI Ethics group, Timnit Gebru, fired. Of course the excuse for the firing was some bureaucratic bumpkis that would have been swept under the rug with any other person, but because it was someone with a lot of clout in the DEI community, they were removed from their influential position.
It happens on a geological timescale, and is used to help date rocks. The ocean floor is marked with stripes of normal and reversed magnetic polarity (the magnetic field is faintly recorded in magnetization of minerals like magnetite), and this was a strong initial clue that led to the theory of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.

> In many countries, it's the 75% of the population saving in their local fiat currency that are the gullible ones.

Nobody is supposed to save fiat except as a liquidity cushion against personal tail risk for which you pay the spread between interest rates and inflation. Nobody has ever advised people to save fiat anywhere. They advice is to keep an emergency savings account and invest the rest.
That's an interesting point that I didn't have in mind, but it's a very good question. From the discussion here I have the feeling that the mere statement 'I didn't have anything in mind while painting this' makes up for a lot of the discussion (and meaning?) here.
Thanks! Lemme know how it goes :)
I 1000% agree with you; both my parents were aerospace engineers and when they were going through college that was what everyone was pushed to choose as a career; nowadays it's tech (software) - so I see that problem very clearly.

(in my message above, "tech" refers to software tech, it's an overloaded term so I normally refer to electrical/mechanical engineering just as that)
Agreed! The problem is that the publisher's name isn't always clear: a lot of open source maintainers (myself included) publish major packages under their own name; a less familiar user could easily be confused into choosing the "official looking" name instead.

I think the most "complete" solution here needs to involve code signing.

The issues is that it does. Using tractors to farm and harvest it all, all the industrial processes to create fertilizer all require carbon to be taken from within the earth. If you only look at the corn to fuel yes it doesn't produce as much additional carbon, but once you include all the externalities you have more carbon emitting processes.
I think landlords have already been doing this even before software existed.

There is an additional mechanism that creates this dynamic, where properties (especially commercial ones) are valued based on the price of leases. For this reason, it can be better for landlords to let a property stay empty with a higher listed rent than to let it open up, if they are renewing their lease or borrowing against it.

It uses chain-of-thought and examples with reasoning. It also largely ignores most known concepts of chess strategy and focuses only on priors about what good moves look like as strings. Definitely curious to see if anyone can get something that's capable of delivering checkmate while working more "chessically".
