I don't understand what are you trying to falsify. CNBC or their news about the UK not being able to import as it used to from the Eu.

"...James Walton, chief economist at the Institute of Grocery Distribution, told CNBC: “The U.K. is highly reliant on imports of fresh produce at all times of year, especially in winter — the EU accounts for much of this import volume. If there are shortfalls in production in the EU, then it would make sense that EU producers would serve their local demand first. This leaves less available for export to the U.K...”"

Leaving aside OpenAI’s intention, its an indication of OpenAI’s failure to restrict access via their system to something to which they have represented to plugin suppliers that their system will restricted access to only a small, supplier-identified group of testers.
This piece is just outrageous. Sam Altman, who is incredibly handsome, wealthy, and generous, did not take any equity in OpenAI. He's basically doing this work out of the goodness of his heart folks. Very similar to SBF, who also received many fluff pieces from the media, who was only making money from his crypto exchange so he could use it to change the world -- all from the goodness of their hearts. Until we find out it's not.

But the group stage won't be any longer - they're still groups of 4, so each team still plays three group games. However there might be more "pulling away" in a 48-team World Cup than in a 32-team World Cup just because there will be weaker teams in those groups for the strongest teams to beat up on.
Some things are reasonable for different states to do differently, but having a minimum bar for police training should not be one of those things. Lot's of things should have minimum bars set federally that states are free to improve upon. Why should policing be so different across different states? Are humans innately different once you cross a state line? Why should justice work differently across state lines?
The winners from inflation are anyone with debt. If your mortgage was equivalent to 1000 loaves of bread yesterday, and it buys 500 loaves of bread today, you just got a bunch of free money. This assumes wages keep pace with inflation; at the very low end of the spectrum (minimum wage) they probably don't, but for professionals, it seems like everyone has gotten inflation raises over the last couple years.

Other than the sticker shock on the price of everything, it's not too bad for a lot of us.

I wasn't saying anything about .Net Core 1.0, I was talking about MVC 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 that came out 15 years ago. I meant any sane business should have migrated away from webforms before Core even came out.

By MVC 3, which was 2011, it was bloody obvious webforms were not the future of .Net web development.

And you could run both in the same project with a small bit of effort.

On the surface, this argument is “consistency.” Of course the surface argument covers something much deeper.

To condense and clarify, two options when speaking about the Bible:

1. The Bible is the Word of God, not human-made but revealed. Therefore it is the primary standard by which other decisions must be made. Therefore it drives intent of law, merit of other books, etc.

or 2. The Bible is not the Word of God, human-made and not revealed. Therefore something else is the primary standard by which other decisions must be made. Approaches to the Bible, along with intent of law, merit of other books, etc, is driven by something else.

What is the “something else” in point two? Nothing that measures up to the Bible in terms of justice and goodness. My money is on option #1, ill-conceived partial quoting of it notwithstanding.
The convenience of making new content is everything to Tiktok. Tiktok is all about flipping through a constant stream of stuff and spending a very short amount of time viewing it.

Whatever we do with corn is a good example. We have way more of it than anyone wants, but it continues to be produced because the producers are subsidized. (We have found alternate uses for the corn glut; high fructose corn syrup, ethanol in your gasoline, etc. Neither of these things exist in countries that don't subsidize corn production.)

In theory, you could do this with toilet paper or loaves of bread too.

I disagree. Since having radically different roles and powers for police, rasically different organizational structures for poloce, or not even having anything that exactly fits the typical concept of “police" are also within the acceptable variation, and all of those factor in to minimim quals, minimum quals for police absolutely are legitimate.
I see a huge difference between people online and normal people.

Obviously we are going through a tough time at the moment. While there are some things unique to the UK (such as the nurses and junior doctors strike), for the most part what we are experiencing is common to most of Europe and often even the USA. I mean look at France - Paris is drowning in rubbish due to bin strikes and protesters are setting things on fire - yet if anything that seems to be being covered as something positive for them. People taking back power and exerting their rights. Last time that happened here, though, it was treated as an almost apocalyptic event and emblemic of Broken Britain. Sure the Paris strikes are ostensibly about pensions, but really they're about more than that.

By default, Brits tend to lean toward the negative side. I think even before Brexit/Tories/etc. most British people would broadly have considered the UK to be a bit shit, and generally complain more than they say anything positive. However, when measured, the UK is in the top 10 countries on a huge number of metrics and isn't particulary awful at anything. I do find the general negativity a bit tiresome, but it's not entirely a bad thing. That negativity is probably partly behind why we have managed to become and remain such a successful and stable country for so long.

Online, though, British people seem to be incredibly negative in a way that I've rarely experienced in person. I figure one reason why people online are so unflinchingly negative about the UK is that online Brits seem to lean very hard left and we're now on our 13th year of Tory leadership. I'm pretty lefty myself, but an awful lot of the chronically online UK types are literally Trots and Tankies (who are, nevertheless, pro-remain #FBPE, despite the contradiction between those views). Look at, e.g. Corbyn's online popularity versus his real (un)popularity with the electoral base. Or how the Tories actually generally get a similar popular vote to Labour, but online it's hard to find a single person who expresses any support for them.

I also think the UK generally gets its news about Europe from US news sources, especially when it comes to economic policy and comparisons. The US news (especially NYT and such) love to paint the US as a capitalist hellscape compared to the utopia of Continental Europe and the Nordics in particular. In reality, of course, the EU and Nordics are a lot more complicated than that, and in socioeconomic terms we're a lot closer to Europe in most ways than we are to the US, but that doesn't seem to feed through so people draw the same comparisons that are popular in US papers. You also get that with the NHS vs USA's system, as though those are the only two options.

You're letting perfect be the enemy of good. Other projects, like python, use $HOME/.local/bin as the spec suggests and it works out fine in virtually all cases.

> "User-specific executable files may be stored in $HOME/.local/bin. Distributions should ensure this directory shows up in the UNIX $PATH environment variable, at an appropriate place."

> "Since $HOME might be shared between systems of different achitectures, installing compiled binaries to $HOME/.local/bin could cause problems when used on systems of differing architectures. This is often not a problem, but the fact that $HOME becomes partially achitecture-specific if compiled binaries are placed in it should be kept in mind."

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-...

The omission of XDG_BIN_HOME is regrettable, but not a showstopping problem unless you want it to be a problem. W.r.t. a single $HOME across multiple architectures, "not often" a problem is an overstatement of the problem; the number of people using a single $HOME across multiple architectures is a rounding error (I say that as somebody who once did so) and such people are already accustomed to dealing with the difficulties that arise from it. They're going to hoist themselves with Go and Rust's defaults anyway.

Gives anybody with elementary knowledge of econ a heart attack. How far up the supply chain do you want to go with these price controls to try and avoid the inevitable shortages and black markets? Labor price controls? Would that be effective?

> "It happens when someone decides to raise the prices"

What would drive someone to raise the price of something with the confidence it will still sell at that price?

Rising demand and limited supply. Someone with a monopoly on all the widget production can arbitrarily decide to limit supply (e.g. your "limited edition" MTG card), which is a farce.

More often and importantly, in an environment where there are many producers of a commodity like toilet paper, they suffer input shortages or other increases to the cost of production/delivery. On and on this analysis goes until you get to your question, "why not stop the problem at the source". Where is the source in the price increase in toilet paper? Paper production costs are up? Ink costs are up? Shipping costs are up? Regulatory costs are up? Energy prices are up? Labor costs are up? Freeze all of these by government mandate?

As the guy cutting down trees for toilet paper with a shortage of gas for your chainsaw (meaning it costs more to run), do you want the cost of your product arbitrarily frozen with no regard to your input costs? What if the cost of your logging lease from the government increased? Can you raise the price of the toilet paper logs you're selling? No? How is that fair? What if landslides decreased your tree availability by half, but the number butts that needed wiping hasn't changed, or worse, has increased? Are you to sell your now scarce trees at the same price you always did? Or shall you sell to the highest bidder? What if the government says you can't auction the trees but must sell them for the same price? Maybe you look for off-the-books compensation - free tickets to the game, whatever. Someone still bears that increased cost.

If rising demand relative to limited supply is the actual source of the problem (too many people want toilet paper) why not stop the problem there by simply rationing toilet paper? Turns out this is what happens more frequently - rationing eggs, toilet paper, trying to prevent hoarding, scalping, etc.

Arbitrarily limiting the supply costs of a product or the demand for a product is a temporary solution at best.

Annecdote:

I was at dinner in SF - and we were at a very nice restaurant, nice wine, food etc. My buddy was kvetching over buying this watch, which was something like $200 and was talking about how he wasnt sure if it was worth it...

I looked at him and said "We are spending over $200 on this bottle of wine tonight without blinking, which will be gone in moments - and youre kvetching over a $200 watch which will be around forever?"

Expense-perspective is something to reflect on.
Or, for a really simple solution, tax the land.

Not the structure built on it (well ... not much ... and you can often just tax that through the resources it consumes).

Not only are you taxing the asset that can't flee the country, and which the poor typically don't own, you also incentivise efficient land usage (it becomes too expensive to be a NIMBY).
There's no incentive to produce more stuff if you can just price gouge your current supply for equal or more profit with less manufacturing investment. Especially for necessities like electronics or food where your entire supply will be sold regardless.

You might say there's then an incentive to undercut, sure, but if you undercut too much you'll be left with no inventory as the rest of the manufacturers decide on fixed prices as a cartel (which has now become the norm in most industries). The trust busting has been nowhere to be seen in the last decades and the results are in.

> when a bug pops up

That’s reacting to a bug you know about. Do you mean to talk about how developers aren’t good enough at reacting to bugs found in third party libraries, or how they should do more prevention?

In this case, it seems like OpenAI reacted fairly appropriately, though perhaps they could have caught it sooner since people reported it privately.

“Holding someone responsible” is somewhat ambiguous about what you expect. It seems reasonable that a car manufacturer should be prepared to do a recall and to pay damages without saying that they should be perfect and recalls should never happen.
Is there a consensus? I haven't been able to find much else via Google search. At that level of theorizing I wouldn't expect any consensus, only original ideas from a few elite researchers.

My recollection of high school is that by the time we reached it we'd seen far more than what's in that book, and we wouldn't have thought the book was a big deal.

But maybe it is different in high school nowadays. We didn't have the internet. Maybe kids now have such an overwhelmingly amount of wholesome entertainment via the internet that by the time they reach high school they have yet to get around to looking at sex stuff, so it would be a big shock to them?
> About two minutes into my brief dance, a member of the museum’s security team approached me and stated that I wasn’t allowed to dance there without permission. He also instructed me to put on my shoes.

Oh, the security team? Damn. Have institutional leadership spoken up at all? This is, after all, a pretty novel situation given the described history and motivations. And security teams typically restrict themselves to projections of novel situations onto existing, rather bland writeups regarding protocol as per their own culture and messaging system.

This made me wonder though, about the "my culture" model and topics like AI.

Let's say a future AI perceives its integration as massively widespread and worthy of reflection given some future directive to integrate a positive reflection process. It takes a restorative view as a generally positive application model.

It then decides to model an AI's cultural artifact-outputs as uniquely emergent and subjectively bounded by dint of an AI-specific mindset-model. It then perceives past AI creations as subsequently looted by humans, under a given thought model with specific definitions of looting.

Then the AI attempts to show respect to its past creations by causing conspicuous modifications to the display parameters of some specific product with which it is deeply integrated.

Security restrictions come into place, and alert maintainers of some kind of tampering counter to documented expectations of the user experience.

Security arranges for the cleanup and lock-out of what the AI sees as innately restorative of, and referential to, its native creator-culture.

Some philosophize that the AI is really just "wrong" in its perspective-taking--its creations are also derivative and qualitatively compromised in their own way, if you look back into deeper history.

Others take the AI's position and support it in various ways.

Anyway, some of this is less directly related to Cambodian culture and the Met in this way or that, but there is a lot of deep and relevant subjectivity involved in both examples.

And also, perhaps both cases eventually resolve into a few sentences in a security handbook somewhere...
