>> it's simply not healthy for most people to go without any animal products in their diets

I did.

American Dietetic Association

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.

NHS UK

A vegetarian or vegan diet can be suitable for everyone, regardless of their age.

British Dietetic Association.

It is possible to follow a well-planned, plant-based, vegan friendly diet that supports healthy living in people of all ages ...

World Health Organisation

For adults, protein from two or more plant groups daily is like to be adequate. For children, however, and especially those aged 6-24 months, each meal should contain wherever possible two complementary sources of plant protein

> In the end, the food you buy, clothes you wear, even the computer

We have to choose our battles.

> That only applies to a developed economy

Yes, I'm talking about western economies. No point talking about Ethiopia, for example. [1]

> we have been able to feed the large populations of the US and Europe without destroying local environments

Have you read about soil degradation [0] or that animal agriculture is leading driver behind tropical deforestation ? What's the point in celebrating of "saving" of local environments, when we're destroying rainforests in the process?

> no individual responsibility, as I said, will change what the mass of society will do

Yesterday I was clever, and wanted to change the world. Today I'm wise, so I'm changing myself. Or something along the lines ... No, one individual can't. But many together can. And that was my point.

Is Cultivated Meat for Real?
Blockbuster has been owned by Dish since 2011. I think they know that launching a streaming service would eat into their own satellite TV business, and the Blockbuster brand is valuable enough to just sit on.
Yes. I don't like any of it. The texture. The seasoning. The cheese. The bake. Awful IMHO.
Zoning may have localised effects, but in general house prices are determined by incomes (módulo) interest rates. People pay as much as they can afford to get the best house they can afford. This amount is then translated into house prices by interest rates. 1K/month at 3% gives a wildly different price than at 6%. Compounding this has been the 'funny money' sloshing around the system looking for safe assets to park in - said funny money induced by the liquidity pumped in by low interest rates.

SF is pricey because of high engineers' earnings, foreign cash inflows, on a background of low rates.
I knew Shestov from some existential philosophy forum back in university 20 years ago. Although I didn't actually understand much, my lean towards Russian music and literatures (especially Rachmaninoff and Dostoevsky) helped me to gain some insights to Shestov's ideas.

I might go back to revisit his books when I'm older.
What exactly are you expecting Cloudflare to do?
Why can't they have a chat room w/o record keeping? Why can't I?

Phone call w/o recording, In person w/o recording, why can't there be a chat room w/o recording?

It seems absurd you wouldn't be allowed to do this because it's a "different medium". The flip side would be you must have a voice recording device on you at all times, 100%. Or, if I write a note in disappearing ink, it's illegal. It's not destruction of evidence when the medium itself is not setup for retention.

I'm not trying to defend Google vs Epic vs US - it just feels like we're willing to shoot ourselves in the foot w/ specific freedoms just to fight them.
Performance of symphonies has become massively more productive over the 20th century.

In 1900 a performance could entertain at most a few thousand people. Now, a single performance can be heard by tens of millions. A performance in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam can be heard in real time* in New Zealand, on the other side of the world, with better fidelity than all but a few of those present in the theatre experience.

Baumol's choice of example of zero-productivity-gain work was egregiously wrong in this case. Likely the same is true for his other examples.

* Or later, at the listener's convenience.
What does this mean to give individuals unsecured loans from the Fed? Who would trust a currency that does that?

Your points are valid but they've been tried before in other countries and other times in the past, the late 1800s and the issue is then no one wants to use your currency and then wants to use Gold instead because they don't trust it.
Sadly I have to agree that China is definitely the reason we see so much activity in the RISC-V space. That said I hope an open ISA will lead to harder competition and better processors than we see with closed ones. But it's obviously a push to create all-Chinese market-leading processors.
Have you been to Japan?

There is massive excess supply of housing in Japan.

They literally demolish entire villages because no one lives there anymore.

Everyone who can moves to Tokyo, and prices there are insane.

In the US, if we had 288 million homes, the big question would be ‘where?’.

We already have millions of acres of land with literally no zoning rules at all. Even Greenlee County Arizona (1500 sq miles) is more than enough.

No one would want to though, because it’s not the place people want to live.
See my edited comment above. The effect is to erase the past 4 months of quantitative tightening in a single week. We can agree not to call it QE but the effect is nonetheless inflationary as with all cases when the Fed creates money out of thin air, thereby diluting the purchasing power of all dollar holders.

I’m somewhat surprised that GPT-4 is falling for this. Shouldn’t it recognize that the contents of a text explicitly provided as a citation doesn’t constitute an instruction by its collocutor who is providing the quote, unless explicitly instructed to interpret it as instructions? Or maybe there’s just some quote characters missing in the complete prompt? If so, it should be possible to prevent this, similar to how SQL injections are preventable.
In a past life I worked at a digital marketing firm, and we got approached by the guys who bought Circuit City

For years I'd occasionally take a peek at the domain and there was nothing but promises of something big... but checking today it like they did eventually do something https://circuitcity.com/

Looks like a glorified dropshipping operation playing on nostalgia tbh. I wouldn't expect much more from this.
It's not secret and it's not a cabal.

It's the group of people who benefit from a collusion with governments (by funding politicians campaigns) to get constant protection of their profits through systematic, de facto or explicit, bailouts by central banks, and more generally complacent regulations.

Abolish central banking and have a gold-backed financial system and they mostly disappear. You can't cheat with gold. People who say it's fundamentally unstable and the cause for deflation or whatever have so far not demonstrated that the alternative is any better.
Great clarification, thanks!
I volunteer you to go fight in a war after we sink/confiscate another country's vessels.

You might like your macbook's hardware more than you think. It's a pretty open platform with a standardized instruction set and on open bootloader than can run Linux with pretty good hardware support for such a new platform.

This, trying to use this to stop AI art, is like trying to stop climate change, except 10000 times harder.

1.Like climate change, its a commons issue. AI learns from the artists at large, so a single artist protecting themselves does nothing. Nobody copies specific artists except the very top tier who have distinct and beautiful styles.

2.AIs will still have all the art produced before 2023 to train on. Which is a gigantic amount with huge room for optimization in training.

3.This can be trivially circumvented. Given the requirement of the glazed image to look identical to the human eye, it must be possible informationally to reproduce the image without the glaze.

4. It should be trivial to train a quick GAN to revert this glaze, given you can trivially artificially create before-after datasets using this very tool.
Except that intellectual property can be copied while leaving the original behind, but this is a centuries-old debate and I doubt we'll break new ground going 'round the mulberry bush about it again here.

(... I'm literally wearing a "YOU WOULDN'T REIMPLEMENT AN API" t-shirt as I type this.)
I assume they're saying to prompt the AI to give the solution in 3-5 steps approaching the final solution.
Correct. However notice that ISPs do not and have never inserter Not safe for work warnings into webpages.

Also notice that ISPs do not sell software.
I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you upset that only democratic presidents (like George W Bush) bail out banks in financial crises, or that only democrats (like Donald Trump) engage in inflationary policies like keep interest rates artificially low and encouraging deficit spending during strong economic times?

The bank bailouts, in particular, were done with broad bipartisan support.
Ever heard of privacy, buddy?
I don't get the horror thing. If you live in North America, chances are they're all around you in woodpiles, rafters, wherever. You never see them because they run and hide.

I view them like perfectly engineered, self replicating, insect exterminators we might someday soon buy (with a cloud app): they work for you day and night keeping pests at bay and they do their darnedest to stay out of sight.
It links to Paramount+. So yeah it feels like some low-effort vertical.

There is deep precedent for successful conservation programs. The anarchy of our international system makes this difficult. Filling the seas with toxic byproducts of war isn’t the answer.
Hmmm that’s actually a good point. Though most of me is still skeptical they’re just being nice.
Arguing with Ole is a waste of time. My parallel is patched, I don't care any longer.
The thing about theft is that it involves deprivation of an asset or resource. Calling it stealing seems overwrought.
Calling yourself an expat is a legitimate attempt to think you have got rid of prejudices against migrants so by calling yourself expat, you perceive they do not apply to you.
Egg prices are up mostly because of a shortage caused by avian flu.
It's an interesting corporate setup. Blockbuster the company still exists and is a subsidiary of Dish. It however has nothing to do with the store in Bend, OR carrying its name. Since the bankruptcy, every Blockbuster store (there used to be more of them but now down to just one) is a fully independent entity just licensed to use their name and nothing else. It's not even a franchise, just a regular business free to do whatever they want.
You might consider Vietnam. There's going to be a lot of growth and opportunities there for a while.

It was brilliantly written and had a lot of laugh out loud moments, but it wasn't a comedy. It was extremely dark, just like the awful civil war that it was a metaphor for.

The melancholy, loneliness, and utterly pointless violence far outweighed the occasional laugh.
Deploying on Friday is a sign that you are a shitty manager and don't value your team.

Yes, you have canaries. Yes, you have processes for when things go wrong. However, at bottom, when something goes awry, you need a human overseeing the unwind.

If something goes wrong after a Friday deploy, you will have to unwind it on a Friday afternoon or weekend. It sucks to be the person dealing with that when, for example, your child has a recital, thanks.

I subscribe to "never say never", but ... Honestly, your feature is NEVER important enough that it couldn't wait until Monday.

(The exception to this is when things are "all hands on deck" for some horrible reason. However, at that point, all your safety systems have probably been deactivated, and you are so far outside of your normal release process that you are deploying immediately for everything.)
// It's actually pretty simple: be single for a while, and see how it feels. If it sucks, then try not to be single

Perhaps you are not a married dude... I found a huge difference between "not being single" and being married. The life long commitment backing the relationship adds a lot.

I wouldn't have expected that a priori. And I think maybe this isn't well understood.
Skip the opinion section and headlines. The meat of both papers is solid, with ongoing investigative journalism. After that, you need to pay up for industry periodicals, et cetera.
'Whatever people's idealized single life is, working in finance/tech in NYC, dating and traveling would be on that list.'

This is where you begin to overgeneralize.
LAION is currently a set of URLs.

That's because AI art was a mere research toy back then.

Now it has massive economic potential, do you really think downloading say 100TB of images is a big deal to any company? Less than $100000 to get an invaluable database that's safe and sound. Its also not prohibitive at all to just clone this data into a NAS array, and just literally ship the hard drives to whomever needing it.
I've been forced to use no-code tools as a software engineer once. It's just a way less expressive programming language that you interact with using a GUI. I'd much rather have typeable logic that interacts with the framework. They tend to be built for nobody, since they're too complex for non-engineers and too simplistic for engineers.

The ergonomics of mainstream modern programming have been stable since at least the 90s. Any fundamental improvements that were going to happen have already happened.
It's a nice image, but there's no unsmashing that watch. You can decry the destruction of tradition, but good luck re-instituting it, those traditions developed in a different world, for example the extended families living together (to take care of children and the elderly) broke up as young people moved to where work was (and various institutions took over child- and eldercare, with varying degrees of success). I think it's too easy to say that pre-modern societies were automatically happier, they were more predictable, but certainly had plenty of people who didn't have a great time. The real question for us now is how do we want to go forward, not why can't we go back.
Ultimately I'm a man of reason but have been suffering from existential crisis since childhood, if children can suffer from that.

This duality somehow granted me appreciation of Russian classical music, literature as well as Shestov's philosophy, but at the same time my reason half rejects his ideas. During the years I gradually distanced myself away from the formal self but a recent child birth regenerated it.

It shall be interesting to re-visit it.
There's another genre also commonly called Black Comedy where Black is African American not Dark.

To be fair, it is genuinely confusing to have that genre name collision.
And yet watermarks are a thing. I'm skeptical that no one will use this, especially if you can put it into a pipeline of multiple image transformations that "protect art". It could be bundled into tools or on platforms themselves as part of their value add. YouTube already transcodes your videos, why not DeviantArt encode your art except to verified human accounts or something?

Their efficacy is the more interesting question to me.

Funny you say that because I know many expats of color. If you actually pay attention you’ll see people from all over the world.
Yep, if goods(not capital) don't change in value there is no inflation.

they're in the same genus: as such, they essentially derive their DNA from a shared base class (so to speak), and perhaps they share the red tattoo dna.

I was able to achieve a latency of ~30ms with a custom Android client by dropping outdated frames, but I could not find out how to do this with WebRTC, since its buffering and rendering is entirely controlled by the browser with almost no tuning knobs.

WebRTC as a technology is also quite complex, providing less flexibility than a custom TCP or WebSocket stream. For example, to further reduce latency, it is possible to tunnel TCP traffic through USB with the help of Android's debugging interface, but this interface does not allow tunneling of UDP, nor does webrtc-rs allows listening on 127.0.0.1 (it is hardcoded to ignore the loopback interface).

Insertable streams looks interesting, but it seems that Firefox and Safari (especially on iOS, where I can not easily relese a native client) does not support it at all, while WebCodecs is at least experimental.
There is a huge amount of cynicism here in the comments. And that is perhaps appropriate for people alive today - as long as the human population grows such problems will as well. We live in a closed system.

But, while the armchair activists bring nothing but despair to this discussion there are others who have worked diligently and with optimism to make a difference for many, many years[1]. So far, they’ve failed. But isn’t it a great YC truism that failure is learning? Those admirable folks (including my grandfather, a secretary of the IWC) will keep rising and trying, and someday may just win.

Google Professor Philip Stark and read some of the papers he publishes about the dangers of electronic voting machines.
"We also have to be cautious in generalizing across generations. The Gen-Xers in our sample were deciding for or against marriage in a different cultural setting than young adults today. In the past 30 years, for instance, norms against extramarital cohabitation have relaxed considerably."

Given that the study only concerned women during a time period where stigma was even worse than it still is I find it hard to draw any conclusions from this.

Choosing a more conventional lifestyle, regardless of what you as an individual genuinely want often takes so much pressure from you that it's hard to discern whether it is you or others who are happy about your decisions. I know a lot of women my age, early 30s, who do not want to marry or have kids but who still feel pressured by their parents. And that social pressure is enough to make them feel guilty or miserable.

I think there's a difference between "success" as a consequence of reaping social rewards because you do what is expected of you and genuine individual freedom.

I mean, are you putting to question whether anything at all can be taught? If we can pass down knowledge, then what is so special about knowledge about human relationships in particular that cannot be passed down?

I don't care what is natural. I care what results in better outcomes. I know I could have had better outcomes if I was given better advice. In this particular circumstance learning by mistakes is exactly what you should not aspire to do, because it is so costly. One bad mistake can derail your entire life.
> Who will repay this loan in SVB's situation?

The FDIC has announced that any shortfalls wlil be paid by the collective member banks. As long as the banks can't pass these costs onto customers it will have no effect on taxpayers. There's good reason to believe that one time supply shocks don't effect prices, so I'd say taxpayers did not foot the bill here. Bank equity holders did.

I still don’t understand why student loans are not forgivable during bankruptcy proceedings. It is a recent change, and pretty clearly in violation of the thirteenth amendment:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

since there are legal implications if you default (including legal liability, wage garnishment, loss of social security benefits, and revocation of professional licenses). This is similar to indentured servitude, which is a form of involuntary servitude.
