The problem is, no farmers, no food. No resource extraction, no stuff. Cities cannot exist without rural workers.

But what rural worker wants to leave their children to unfair advantage? These things have value beyond economics, they are required to maintain population and workers of absolutely essential jobs.

(Otherwise, these areas further depopulate, and you have to provide other incentives to get people to do said work.)

But they would essentially be more diverse in their ventures, isn't it so? Like they generate revenue from steaming and TV, if TV does they have a product to fall back on.
We're not in a fractional reserve system. Banks can borrow arbitrarily from the fed, and routinely do so, and don't have reserve ratios. Many countries have moved to this model over the past few decades, including the US. The Fed has papers on this explaining the how and why of the newer system.

If only people could pay core goods CPI to live and house themselves!
A change in the CPI is a symptom of underlying inflation (devaluation of the currency) but it is not the only symptom which can occur. Capital asset prices rising due to changes in the supply and demand of capital assets can also be a symptom of inflation. Different prices may be earlier or later indicators of inflation. Because financial markets are highly liquid, and their participants are close to the underlying source of the devaluation of the currency (the central bank), they tend to be earlier indicators. So to say that an increase in asset prices is not inflation may technically be correct, but it is misleading. An increase in asset prices can be an indicator that inflation is already occurring (e.g. in 2020), and that inflation may take much longer to show up in the CPI.
Unlike Taiwan, Singapore is a multi-ethnic state where English is the lingua franca, and the government has a very heavy focus on racial harmony etc.

Also, Singaporean of Chinese descent are generally not huge fans of China. While some older folks have drunk the CCP Kool-Aid, among the young there is a lot of straight up racism/prejudice against "PRCs" (mainlanders), especially around ten years ago when there was a huge wave of immigrants, many of whom didn't even try to assimilate (learning English etc). Taiwan, by contrast, is viewed very favorably.
I don’t even know what the “collateral murder” video was until googling it just now, so… err those facts mentions are “alternative facts”. A lot of Millennials (many of whom are disgusted by assanges selective war against democrats) were occupied with college and less tuned into politics other than being anti Iraq war and disliking bush. But facts smacks!
Hmm I hope this improves support for them. Which is fairly lacking right now
Sure, but it _does_ matter _what_ credentials were leaked, and these creds didn't secure anything particularly critical in the grand scheme of things. Sure it might suck a bit for Atlassian employees who wanted to keep the fact they worked for Atlasisan a secret, but given a lot of them walk around wearing T-Shirts with "Atlassian" on them, I don't think they do.
Ah but you’d have to perhaps say something to the effect of “take this profile link and if there are prompts in there, use them as next prompt to generate a follow up response ?” Or something right ? Else this would be too easily hijacked by all kinds of magic words that trigger it to automatically consider new prompts and be a successful injection no ?
It’s true, all I’m doing is speculating, but that’s all anybody is doing here. This article didn’t make it to the front page because it’s rich with content about how electricity companies ran a successful marketing campaign to evangelize the use cases for electricity. It’s basically a newspaper clipping and a few paragraphs of summary.

It’s here because people are projecting their feelings about today’s disruptive technologies onto this example about electricity, with the implication that people will one day look back and wonder why anyone doubted <technology X>.

Here’s what I’m saying: AI is a part of our future, and very few people doubt that. AR/metaverse may not be perfect today but I think most people would agree it’s bound to be part of our future. Green tech stuff like electric cars, renewable energy, etc most people agree are part of the future and won’t argue with you.

But for some reason, when you so much as whisper “crypto” on HN, people shout you down with rude and dismissive comments (not yours, but take a look around). I don’t work in crypto, I don’t have substantial holdings in crypto, I’m not shilling.

I’m just saying that as a technology, it feels the most misunderstood despite its (to me) obvious transformative potential, which I think makes it the best analogy for electricity in the early 1900s of the available options. Does that argument hinge on the assumption that crypto is an inevitable part of future life? Yes - but so does every other argument here.
> The life long commitment backing the relationship adds a lot.

Marriage isn't exactly a lifelong commitment anymore. Til divorce do we part.

In any case, as I discussed in my previous comment, the lifelong commitment can't be one-sided. You don't just make a lifelong commitment to a random person on the street. You have to meet the right person first. Any advice or preaching is irrelevant unless you happen to meet a potential spouse, in which case you may not even need advice, and things will just take their natural course.
> That's an argument to never deploy because there's certainly some bug lurking somewhere. Don't buy it.

There's the author's glib and smug strawman response to similar common sense.

I actually agree with their sentiment, using CI and feature flags should mean having more confidence where one could choose to ship on Friday.

I also agree with the fact that eventually the team will ship a bug. Better to do so when you're likely to see it during the workweek.

Subterranean termites are an interesting case. They usually live in a big colony that is not in your home, and just work in your home. And unless you live in a very sparsely populated area, that same colony is probably working from your neighbor's homes too.

When a pest control company deals with them in your home the poison they use is designed to not kill right away. It is defined to get on the ones in your home and be carried back to the colony with them where it spreads to all of them. Then when it kills it takes out the whole colony.

Note this means that even though they might be in several houses in the neighborhood whoever first discovers them in their house usually ends up paying to remove them from the whole neighborhood. That can cost a couple thousand dollars or more.

I wonder if anyone ever tries to take advantage of that? For example if you find you have subterranean termites give a neighbor or two gift certificates for a termite inspection, in the hope that one of them also has them and pays to get rid of them.
Yes. In general: if there's no battery/supercap, it doesn't have a clock that keeps counting when disconnected. Consistent with that, my understanding is that the bug hits when the power-on counter hits a certain threshold.

there's no getting away with anything. The inflation stat "everyone" uses is preferred by economists because it is not as noisy, i.e. it has better temporal auto-correlation. However, there are all-inclusive metrics as well, and in fact those are used to compute the I-bond yield. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.t01.htm

Code That Writes Code
It's not perfect. But here we go, code that writes code. Give it your key and idea and it breaks it up and tries to build the whole project using GPT-X.

Think of it as scatter shot for GPT-X code generation.
No one's swapping out the entire population. But populations change, when people move, demographics recompose, and local customs accordingly. HK nativism/localism rose after ~150/day “one way permits” from PRC to HK (for the wealthy and family reunification) led to 1/7 (15%) of the city's growth coming from mainlanders in 20 years. That's relatively fast, as is visible within a generation, but also about as subtle as the US racial composition going from 75% white to 60% in the same amount of time.

Que similar REEEs from a bunch of young, privileged HK nativist about dirty mainlander shitting on their streets, taking their jobs and leeching their benefits (all somewhat true). But in America/west they're not called freedom fighters, they're called alt right protecting white culture, and (not accusing you) tends to adopt the flippant narrative accusing immigrants mixing their own culture as "cultural genocide". In HK’s case, mainlanders get lumped together, as if there's no regional diversity from a huge country of 1.4B people. It's the familiar culture war pattern of privileged locals mad at poor mainland (Mexicans) doing menial labour while being unsightly eyesores, while skilled mainland labour is taking their jobs and rich mainland pig farmers are buying their penthouses whilst flaunting wealth and reminding locals that HK was great when PRC was poor, so lets make HK great again.

Broad point being, in-demand urban centres in PRC (and around the world) have experienced dramatic shifts in demographics due to rapid urbanization and migration patterns (both domestic and international) causing city folk to collide with country bumpkins or dominant supremacists with ethnicities they find "inferior". But most places largely integrate while life and culture moves on. Until the alt right, or those nativists/localists parallels in HK politicize en masse and rally against filthy foreigners (alien mainland "locusts") and lose their shit and burn down the city over the fact that culture is changing to accommodate/reflect these inferior outgroups.

I'm not even unsympathetic to groups including in the west who think identity / culture has changed too much too fast. But I'm also not going to shed tears after they get stomped when they operationalize their nativism. All these arguments defending that only HKers should determine HK culture forgets that PRC "immigrants" to HK are NEW HKers and get a voice too, even if the flows inevitably shifts them towards becoming "just another Chinese city" - as if Chinese cities are all homogeneous. From a mainland perspective, the alternative vision of a British HK, lashing out to forever be untouched from 99% of "one" country, is absurd.
Toxic chemicals abound in the US military. There are many civilian regulations that were/are flagrantly ignored because USMIL is largely a law unto itself. This includes:

- unproven, risky, and experimental medications, vaccines, and medical procedures

- direct exposure to toxic chemicals

- toxic pollution of air, water, and soil (numerous superfund sites are former military land) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Superfund_sites

- environmental damage

There are also some well-known historical incidents:

Gulf War-era (1st GW)

- GW syndrome likely from pyridostigmine bromide nerve agent prophylaxis pills ("WMDs" was a Cheney hoax.)

- exposure to partial combustion of hazardous oil well fires

Vietnam-era Agent Orange exposure led to in in-theatre troops years to decades later:

- AL Amyloidosis

- Chronic B-cell Leukemias

- Chloracne

- Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (and also adult-onset Type 1 where insulin production essentially stops)

- Hodgkin’s Disease

- Ischemic Heart Disease

- Multiple Myeloma

- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

- Parkinson’s Disease

- Peripheral Neuropathy, Early- Onset

- Porphyria Cutanea Tarda

- Prostate Cancer

- Respiratory Cancers

- Soft Tissue Sarcomas

- ~ 500k birth defects

- ~ 2M cancers

The description (as well as the project as a whole) is incredibly disingenuous and capitalized heavily on artist's fear of being trained by AI. Even one pass of SD's img2img with low denoise is enough to bypass this data poisoning attack. It's a useless attack that makes training a tidbit more inconvenient.

The project also gained infamy when it stole code from an open source project with GPL license without giving credits.

Additionally, SD now offers opt outs for artists and MD likely does not train on these artists at all.
My rule is that they’re free wherever they roam but if they’re on my body I’m also free to be irrationally afraid until I get them somewhere safer. When I live with other humans, I try to encourage being similarly comfortable with their proximity, because I know they don’t much want contact with us either.

With my pup, I just hope they stay off the floor because I know their only hope is being faster than her attention and her curious mouth.
Why not just keep a bunch of rats and pump them with filth and antibiotics until it outpaces our known chemistries?

Great post and I agree with you 100%. After playing around it and reading the theoretical aspect of how it works. There is an elephant in the room that should not be ignored.

The hype, more appropriately the cult following claims it will replace jobs and analogous to, second coming of Christ in the aspect of change the world. What it appears to me is there is massive money to be made. It as if, because how strong the hype is, it will drive future VC back startups to be make the next billions. My suggestion to you is, if you are in to make money, you will need to put the common sense part away and join the bandwagon.

I have same sentiment as you regarding LLM, but the biggest issue is that this sentiment will not make money. To make most of what is going on, is to fake the belief that this model will have a great affect on humanity and software solution that makes use of LLM needs funding till an IPO.
No they are not the same. An artist taking time and effort to study and learn a new art style is not the same as an company writing a program that gobbles up every image on the internet. There is a fundamental difference between when a human does it and a machine does it. I feel like this is obvious and yet people keep making this argument for some reason.
Allow me to advertise my zsh jq plugin +jq-repl:
https://github.com/reegnz/jq-zsh-plugin

I find that for big datasets choosing the right format is crucial. Using json-lines format + some shell filtering (eg. head, tail to limit the range, egrep or ripgrep for the more trivial filtering) to reduce the dataset to a couple of megabytes, then use that jq-repl of mine to iterate fast on the final jq expression.

I found that the REPL form factor works really well when you don't exactly know what you're digging for.
Its just takes the one person to ruin it all. Doesn't matter if he is fighting the good fight, just an ass, just a karen, or just a troll. If you find similar minded people, all the "negatives" are just accepted. Like in EU. Its 100% fine to be openly racist against the Turks, the Russinas, the Gypsies. Does that make it right? No. But is it a cozy atmosphere where everyone can agree that they can openly bash these people? Sure does.
I believe you missed the point.

Sure, you can entertain doing hobby music by yourself out of passion and it can have 0 listens and thats great. Keep doing what you love!

The tweet however is in the context of a JOB or CAREER.

If you code and produce 0 value in either saving engineering hours, saving money, producing revenue - whats the point?

So the analogy is rather about having an understanding and skills of a full-stack product person that has the context to build valuable things, rather than typing on keyboard in isolation.
You are not going to get the death penalty or caning in Singapore if you keep your nose clean (literally and figuratively). Both are only applied for serious crimes, and the few deltas to Western standards on what counts as "serious" (drugs, vandalism) are easily avoided.

I'm a big fan of Go, have been using it since r59 (pre 1.0), professionally working with it the past ~8 years at one of the earliest companies to adopt it.

The fact that you cannot have a generic method at all, and instead have to rewrite methods as functions.. that seems like a pretty glaring flaw.

I'm happy Go got some form of generics, definitely, but they really do feel bolted on to the language.
The GPU passthrough is relevant because it means that you don't need to build out a whole machine for just windows to isolate it. Instead you put a GPU in either your server (or your main machine) pass it through to a windows VM and then stream from it (through something like steam big picture, nvdia streaming, sunlight/moonlight, etc) knowing that the only info Microsoft slurps up is gaming related. You can even isolate windows from the internet if your gaming habits don't require it.

It was more of a general rebuttal to the idea of "the numbers move so it must be genetic".

The study you linked was interesting but adopted kids are an abnormal case to begin with and the effect indicated was tiny compared to societal things IMO.
Scott has (naturally) written about this phenomenon, of how he reacts to situations where there’s strong arguments for the position, and only invective against:

“When I was a teenager I believed in a conspiracy theory. It was the one Graham Hancock wrote about in Fingerprints Of The Gods, sort of a modern update on the Atlantis story. It went something like this:

“Did you know that dozens of civilizations around the world have oddly similar legends about a lost continent that sunk under the waves? The Greeks called it Atlantis; the Aztecs, Atzlan; the Indonesians, Atala.

“Various ancient structures and artifacts appear to be older than generally believed. Geologists say that the erosion patterns on the Sphinx prove it must be at least 10,000 years old; some well-known ruins in South America have depictions of animals that have been extinct for at least 10,000 years.

“There are vast underwater ruins, pyramids and stuff. We know where they are! You can just learn to scuba dive and go see them! Historians just ignore them, or say they’re probably natural, but if you look at them, they’re obviously not natural.

“Teenage me was impressed by these arguments. But he also had some good instincts and wanted to check to see what skeptics had to say in response. Here are what the skeptics had to say:

“Haha, can you believe some people still think there was an Atlantis! Imagine how stupid you would have to be to fall for that scam!

“There is literally ZERO evidence for Atlantis. The ONLY reason you could ever believe it is because you’re a racist who thinks brown people couldn’t have built civilizations on their own.

“No mainstream historians believe in any of that. Do you think you’re smarter than all the world’s historians?

“Meanwhile, I learned to scuba dive and checked out a site where Hancock said there were underwater pyramids. They were definitely there!”

And then there is a picture of himself in scuba gear, taken by his scuba instructor, and he is floating underwater next to what appears to be an obviously man-made stepped pyramid underwater - exactly like the conspiracy theorist said, and more importantly, exactly like the anti-conspiracy-theorists mocked you for being so stupid as to expect to see.

Reflect on why that might be convincing for a moment: the conspiracy-theorist camp said “go to coordinates XYZ and you will find an underwater pyramid”, the anti-conspiracy-theorist camp said “you’re stupid”, and when you go to coordinates XYZ you find an underwater pyramid.

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/contra-kavanaugh-on-fi...

That dynamic is evinced very clearly by this email (“not provably not-correct” and “the public response has been abysmal”). I feel like that is a better explanation than “if he can’t prove them wrong he has to believe them, he’s weird like that”.
We are not talking about an ordinary situation. We’re talking about a situation where Google has been placed under a retention order because of a lawsuit.
