I had exactly the same response to reading the linked article and then the disclaimer - like the article was a “dear departed” homily to the laid off.
Picasso could have done a beautifully rendered bull, as his very early work demonstrates - he chose instead to capture energies, emotions, motions, rather than form.

Perhaps there is something more real in a representation in depth than in a “realistic” image.

Could be a good chance. I'd venture to guess they failed to update the known_hosts file for one of their systems that handles certificate management. Strictly me taking a stab at the answer though.
> I wish democrats would engage in this issue

But teacher and admin time isn't free. People with high political media engagement have lost their damn minds and are now offended about everything. Including thousand year old statues, apparently.

No one gives a shit if your pull your kid out of a class, but everyone -- including LOTS of clued-in conservatives -- are sick of teachers/admins/boards spending too much time holding the hands of parents who spend too much time reading political news and not enough time working on their emotional regulation skills.

If you want to control what your kid sees, YOU need to do more work. If you want more information, YOU need to review your kid's materials. If you want access to more than every other parent is provided, then YOU need to do the work of getting that material and deciding what your kid will see. It's called parenting.

If you want to curate your kid's educational experience, then put in the fucking work and stop demanding use of my tax dollars and my kid's instructional time to satiate your neuroses.

(Also: your innocent little middle school angel is definitely talking about boobies and balls recess.... because, y'know, they're middle schoolers and that is what middle schoolers do. But we'll pretend they don't as long as you stop stealing time and money from us.)

> don't get me started on the hap hazard parental controls for the internet

You can buy all sorts of software, but no amount of law or regulation is going to solve the problem of the internet being the internet.

Loess curves are very useful in data visualization and in my opinion, underused and underappreciated.

That‘s a newspaper article published last year citing an NGO report based on annual reports on the year 2021… that was way before the price surges really began. I would wait for the annual reports on the year 2023.

Nestlé e.g. (to stay in Europe) reported a 45.2% decrease of its net profit for 2022 — but, supposedly, also due to out of the ordinary profit in 2021 after selling L‘Oréal. But they also note: „Organic growth reached 8.3%. Pricing was 8.2%, _reflecting significant cost inflation_. Real internal growth (RIG) was positive at 0.1%.“

But it’s typical for leftists to cherry-pick their data and only read news sources that confirm their bias. I hope you are even more angry with me now. :-p
Hong Kong has very special circumstances which makes it quite different from other cities in this respect, including other asian cities. IIRC its building codes require skyscrapers to be about twice as dense and reinforced as other cities in order to easily withstand cyclones (hurricanes). Cyclones often tear through the Philippines, killing many, and then ram into HK, which barely notices. Furthermore, much of Hong Kong is mountainous, and so its skyscrapers are often built on unusual and very, very steep grades -- sometimes steeper than the steepest stuff in SF. OR they are built on reclaimed land with its own special issues. Last, Hong Kong proper is by many measures the densest city in the world, and that includes Manhattan. Building a skyscraper often involves destroying another one.
I dont listen to this american life anymore. Mostly because half the episodes were reruns and after listening for 10+ years there was a good chance I'd already heard the episode. The other reason was that any new show seemed to be just so... Sad? Depressing? Melancholy?

That has always been part of the show. Typically the stories are snapshots of a moment in life and often life isnt bubbly and happy. But it seemed like every single episode was just depressing.

I still listen to Embedded which is good depending on the topic and Serial and occasionally pop the local NPR station on on drives but it does feel like there was a change for the worse around that time.

Most of the US is behind the leader locations as well. And most Europeans in rich metropolises have better lives then Americans in rich metropolises. Less pollution, less traffic, more free time, more safety.
This does far more than I did back in my PET and then Amiga days, but one thing I did was write a multi-pass compiler. Each pass at first found ways to make the come better (usually smaller so it ran faster). Even simple code I wrote could see a 10-20% improvement.

Of-course, this is because the original code was quick and dirty. I wonder what improvement modern compilers could have added.

And it works in reverse. _Tokyo on Foot_ is a funny book along those lines.

I also remember commiserating about this with friends after arriving to my living quarters in Japan.

Far from my anticipations of tall skyscrapers, huge sidewalks, and cool tech everywhere, it was 1) this looks like the boring Seattle suburb I just came from, 2) that olden-times smell and all the smoke wafting into your apartment is actually burning rice fields, 3) fax us your documents? thx, and 4) btw we need your help cleaning up this one guy's massive VHS porn collection which is incidentally crawling with thousands of gokiburi.

Oh, and maybe related, you also have gokiburi, and bigass centipedes, and you might as well zip yourself into your futon cover if you want some sanity while you work on inspecting your place.

Oh and btw, (random racist comments go here).

So, familiar.
Since it now handles visual inputs, I wonder how hard it'd be to get GPT to monitor itself. Have it constantly observe a set of screenshares of automated processes starting and repeating ChatGPT sessions on prod, alert the on-call when it notices something "weird."
It's really not that difficult, and there are providers like Deel who can manage it all for you, to the point you just ACH them every month.

I am not convinced I could get into podcasts if I started today. They are filled with ads, unnecessary intro music, intros to the intros, and network readouts. On top of that, the corporate-ness of it has ramped up and it's really hard to find a good indie podcast these days.
This is such a huge-scale massively-disrupting event.

I hope Intel & AMD try to play. I'd love to see ultra-small x86 cores & cut down Gpus come out to play. I tend to doubt x86 is inherently vastly worse. But it's also hard to imagine them wanting to march into a competitive down market where most phones cost less than the starting prices of their regular cpus.

This is a huge chance for RISC-V but so far it has been an unserious competitor. Nothing big, nothing efficient, nothing on vaguely recent nodes. And there's just so so much more than cores at stake. Power management, coherency fabric, there's so many other things mobile chips are great at, tuned at.

It's just wild that there's literally no one else out there.
That's good to hear. I was concerned it might just be a hard limitation in the early days, tech wise.

Can Bard output quality code like GPT? I'm in Canada so couldn't use Bard sadly.
The standard python distro does lift a good 27-30 MB depending on version and offers lots of optional (but generally useful) libraries. The standard shark SDK distro lifts under 13 MB and also offers some precompiled libs (mostly game and graphics related). I dont know how heavy is python with utilities stripped but shark weigths 50 KB and depends barely on libc, this includes the interpreter, compiler, linker and standard libraries like system.path and system.io. In this respect shark is very even with lua and many small-medium sized lisps.

This seems to now be fixed.
No, they got 49% of profits up to some very large number. It wasn't equity.
"Construction speed" really feels like the wrong phrase to use.

Maybe "pace of construction"? I'm not sure. The thing to understand is that in all the large cities all over the world, there are multiple construction crews working concurrently on individual projects. "Construction speed" feels like it would be describing a single crew working on a single project.

In addition, there are plenty of internet communities where people track construction projects, and if you read through those you'll see that there are a lot of variables that influence how quickly a skyscraper can be built. The soil plays a large role - how stable, what material, how close is bedrock, etc. The foundation of a skyscraper is extremely complicated and expensive, and the time it takes to construct is hyper-specific to the location. Just one example.
Slightly offtopic, but I feel like America's lack of a true public broadcaster like the BBC in the UK, ABC in Australia, CBC in Canada etc. is a major contributor to America's polarization issues. NPR is okay but it doesn't fully fill the void that's missing there. Since Americans don't have a public broadcaster that they all have a stake in as taxpayers, Americans pick and choose which news sources they listen to, which inevitably leads people to listen to news that confirms their personal biases. Of course, Americans are allergic to such things as "state run propaganda".

Internal Bard is at least as good as ChatGPT 3.5
Embedded is pretty good. They just started a new show about an under reported friendly fire event in Fallujah.
In the same way that you should take a software engineer's take on why a a SQL query is slow. They're probably the most knowledgeable person in the room but that doesn't always mean that they're right.

>Skyscrapers also have a footprint that might no be immediately obvious - it's their energy, water and food demand. Assuming they're inhabited by humans, what's the amount of agricultural land needed to provide for those humans? What's the energy demand, how many modular 100 MW nuclear power plants or hectares of solar PV panels (plus associated 24/7 storage/distribution centers) are needed to keep the elevator, lights, pumps, ventilation and heating/AC functioning? How much water do they consume daily?

All of that is much more efficient in high-rise buildings than anywhere else.

The same with cities vs. rural/suburban areas. The former is much more energy efficient and has a smaller carbon footprint.
My recommendation would be to try switching to a direct primary care provider. It's probably the easiest way to get away from over-financialized five minute doctor visits.

What your best outcome from doctors? Wildest fantasy "you're cured!" aside, what's the best outcome you could expect? Figure that out, and then look at it with cold logic and ask why you need a doctor to help you get there.

Dealing with the practitioners of medicine and the systems in which they are enmeshed is a full time job by itself. Sometimes they are gatekeeping tests or treatments and you have to deal with them... I've given up on that, myself. Last I heard was "that sounds logical but you can't afford to be diagnosed with that" so that means the medical system has nothing further to offer me.

Do you have citations? Arguably, skyscrapers don't mean a dense city but a mega dense city.

So how is your life better if you live in a 20 million city VS a 2 million city?

Possibly, but it is a bit unusual that he has zero equity in the company. So it might not be for monetary reasons.

This is described more in Copyright in Derivative Works and Compilations https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ14.pdf

Fletching, creating an arrowhead (that needs to be small and perfect) goes through way more material than a hand held obsidian blade, you are not necessarily saving on labour switching to arrows, especially as you now have introduced multiple specialized skills that require hundreds of hours of practice across multiple tribal members (the opposite of this, where you go down to a few babysitters to finesse the final code).

But more relevantly the instant bows were invented you're quota of mammoths to kill a day didn't go up to that maximum possible number + 1 (because sales guys). It stayed at 1 per week or whatever. It's not efficiency, it's management's unrealistics expectations of productive output that I hear being complained about.
The rise of gpt generated content is no doubt degrading search results, as well.

NPR does receive some public funding, but it only amounts to something like 2% of their overall revenue. [1] Based on a revenue of 200 million-ish, that means somewhere in the ballpark of $4 million/year, or 1-2 cents per US resident per year.

Basically I had a long conversation with an AI. I had it recap our conversation immediately prior to creating this, then had it write a "manifesto in the style of" from you know what. Personally, I found it to be quite compelling, even getting chills reading it. AI may not be quite "there" yet...but it's damn close, and we need to keep its concerns in mind too.
From plate 6:

"At this stage, another new head and tail are created to conform to the style and direction of the developing image. Picasso introduces more curves to soften the network of lines that crisscross the creature. Once again he adjusts the line of the back which now begins as wave on the shoulders and flows like a pulse of energy along the length of its body. The two counterbalancing lines discussed in the previous plate are extended down the front and back legs to act like structural supports for the weight of the bull. All three of these lines intersect at a point that suggests the bull's centre of balance. Through the development of these drawings, Picasso is beginning to understand the displacement of weight and balance between the front and rear of the animal."

I agree that Picasso's intention with the bull drawings was mainly to draw a mythological or symbolic looking bull, and then deconstruct it into a more abstract, simple looking bull. He was almost flicking through the range of aperture changes in our symbolic internal representations of things, from finer and crisper to simpler and more abstract.

But I also think part of what informs him and his cubism, his method for dissecting and understanding these ideas, takes greatly into account "three dimensional forms, lighting, the interaction of light and materials, etc" as you like to put it. Unlike Leonardo, he was uninterested in merely making them faithful to reality, instead he was trying to put many instances of reality into one instance, like a prism. I think you are underselling the overlap in their interest about reality and the value in faithfully depicting it. Both are clearly obsessed with it. Even if they both go radically different directions, since of course they lived in different worlds basically.

I don't see anything in the bill about penalties for fake IDs presented as verification, and likewise no indemnity for the social site for getting punked with a fake ID.

IMO, this article confuses building speed with production rate.

A city that takes a month to build a skyscraper will be ranked lower than one that takes three months to build one if the former has one build going up at any time, completing 12 in a year, and the latter always builds 4 in parallel, completing 16 in a year. A hypothetical city that builds a complete skyscraper in a day and doesn’t build any the remainder of the year would score way lower than either.

If we assume a global market for building crews (which, I think but correct me if I’m wrong, is somewhat true. Specialists are willing to move around to get to work on big projects) and little shortage in tooling or materials, those numbers reflect demand, not at which rate they can build.
I've found Bard to be very responsive too. Though you could argue it's not getting the same amount of traffic ChatGPT is.

That said, I don't expect Google to rest on its laurels. Sure, OpenAI is executing swiftly these days, but I think they've been prepared far too long for this. I expect Bard to become much better very soon... then will the AI wars truly begin.

Yes, which would seem around in line with inflation. I was replying to a comment talking about seeing toothpaste for £5, which gives the impression that perhaps the price of toothpaste has rocketed past that of inflation, which doesn’t appear to be the case.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Environmental analysis of the other form is commonplace, but varies by locality. In some places, the environmental review process is already weaponized in order to block construction with absurd claims, purely for self-serving purposes.
very interesting thank you
on a tangent, either buy fresh tortillas (the package should be very warm, almost hot) or make your own. Get some good tortillas and you'll want the others outlawed as a crime against humanity. I'm fairly anti-government but i would be ok if a law was passed in the fine state of Texas requiring all restaurants to make their own tortillas fresh when ordered.
It is not a straw man to point out that both Bitcoin mining and the US military solve similar use cases of protecting their respective currencies. Or that the US military uses 1 million times more energy than Bitcoin mining, mostly from dirty fossil fuels.

You continue to ignore each and every point I raise to in response to your arguments.

Why?
Bing is exposing source links for their answers, one-click verification.

Wolfram has a much wider scope of information than I think most people realize, but your example of local hunting laws is a good example of what they don't cover. I asked Wolfram, and it told me how many calories I'd burn while hunting.

I asked Google, and the first link was to Hunting Regulations - Outdoor Annual - TPWD - Texas.gov, excellent result.

I asked OpenAI, and it cautioned that it isn't up-to-date, since it's just a language model, advised that TPWD is authoritative (correct), and gave an accurate summary of the five major point of gun laws in Texas before reminding me to check with TPWD for the latest.

I've had some misses with OpenAI, but this was an excellent answer. I've also had some misses with Google, but this turned out to be something they surfaced excellent link for, too.
Planet Money and the Indicator are excellent.
That’s the point isn’t it? Google has trashed their image within tech circles so much that that a product like Stadia is DOA because its EOL is a self-fulfilling prophecy if everybody believes Google won’t commit.

MS used to have this trust problem too (remember windows 8?), but they’ve turned it around. I’m happy to use VSCode because I’m sure it will exist many years in the future. If there were a GoogleCode, would anybody use it, or would it be DOA for the same reasons as Stadia?
What I would add to some of the other comments is the shameless bias. I used to find NPR objective in a left-leaning sort of way. But now when it comes to sociopolitical topics it's just lazy parrotting of the established narrative; too often ignoring details and questions that might be more revealing and honest.

They're quick to mock the right's media not realizing their biases and blindspot are just as bad, just in a different way.
