Borosilicate glass is much less heavy.

Unfortunately, borosilicate glassware is more difficult to find, so even if I would like to use it exclusively, besides some borosilicate items like teapots, double-wall glasses for hot or cold drinks, glass vessels with glass lids for microwave cooking, I still use other heavier items made of tempered glass, e.g. bowls, other sizes of vessels for microwave cooking and rectangular vessels with glass lids for storing food in the refrigerator.

You are right that I normally do not carry food away from home in tempered glass vessels and this is the only purpose for which I use polypropylene boxes, but when I have a borosilicate vessel of suitable size I do not hesitate to use it. Even if it is not so light as PP, the weight is manageable.

Here's my rebuttal:

On limitations of self-improvement: The very nature of AI is self-improvement. AI becomes smarter with more data. Thus, the only thing it needs is more data.

On the role of human civilizations: If you give an AI a goal, it will try to achieve that goal, including trying to become smarter in order to achieve that goal. Humans also have goals - to survive and reproduce. Furthermore, I constantly see the argument that AIs don't manifest itself in physical form as a reason it can't improve itself. This seems extremely short sighted. We're about put AI into every single thing. We're going to have AI robots, AI dogs, AI cleaners, AI toasters. The physical form is not a long-term barrier for an AI to self-improve.

On the importance of collaboration: I don't see how this prevents an AI from improving itself. Let's say an AI model is as intelligent as Albert Einstein. This AI can simply spawn many copies of itself. The AI will allocate 1 million Einsteins to study different areas of physics. 1 million Einsteins for chemistry. 1 million Einsteins to learn human persuasion. Etc. Now they can all come together and share ideas.

On the challenge of generality: Doesn't ChatGPT prove that an AI can have general intelligence?

On the role of human decision-making: Sure, the foreseeable future, tech will still be driven by humans. But the author argues that the singularity will never happen and computers won't make themselves smarter. It sounds like the author actually convinced himself that machines could make themselves smarter, just not yet?

And finally, on this quote from the author:

>We’re a long way off from being able to create a single human-equivalent A.I., let alone billions of them.

If we can create one, creating a billion will be the easy part.
The title is ambiguous; you could read it as "photos taken by terrible real estate agents".
> you must relearn correct technique from the beginning (actively get worse at bowling)

Yeah that's what's happening with me in tennis. As a kid I never really took any formal coaching, just learnt from my brother and started rallying with people.

Recently, I decided to start playing again, so I went to a coach and I am learning the correct technique from the beginning. Have to constantly correct and rewire my automatic reactions.

It feels really good to learn something you're bad at, and then seeing your brain slowly automating the new stuff over time.
This is the most cogent and succinct explanation for what happened. The future for print magazines is a lot more niche and lot more pricey. The internet ate the mass-market in every sphere.

I had a client who only sold 5million$+ estates and I went with them a few times on showings and I bought quite a few houses myself in the 5-20k range. The effort made by the estate agent was the same; close to nothing. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people and they definitely don’t deserve the commission. But when I ask just give me the location and the keys, they don’t do that. So totally useless and yet they want to come with you.

I actually get what you mean. There's something kinda rewarding about reducing chaos in a tangled system like that. At a certain point (as long as you're careful) you kind of can't go wrong, every little improvement incrementally makes the world a little bit better and the application a bit easier and more predictable to work with.

This is the first article I've read about this project that focuses on the noise aspect of the signal.

Most articles on the subject mention that the signal they're detecting comes from many, many binary pairs, each generating what is presumably a roughly sinusoidal GW signal. But if you overlay many sine waves of unrelated frequencies, you end up with noise.

The wavelength they're probing is 10-15 LY (the project's been running for 15 years). No article that I've read goes into the character of the binary pairs they suggest is the source, but presumably they have orbital periods in the 10-15 year range, so they must be separated by at least that distance.

IIRC Rome actually had a pretty good system for this, where they defeated any large migrating tribes in battle (even if it was kind of a joke battle, a lot of them were fleeing from other forces that had already drove them out) and then disarmed and spread the families out into different provinces. This broke the large potentially dangerous group up and kind of forced them to integrate into the roman system instead of being a different entity inside the empire. It didn't even really stop working, some bad leaders were just to lazy to do it towards the end.
You're right, but people associated with Harvard will still have a leg up compared to most other people. If there weren't these small "cool kidz clubs" that amplify and bolster each others' reputations even when not deserved, experts would be more uniformly recognized regardless of background. That is more optimal than cronyism for pooling talent.
> The reason you don't see long term support on Android is because of Qualcomm. Qualcomm wants manufacturers to build on new chips

Apple and Google make money off you for as long as you use your phone. Qualcomm only makes money when you buy it. Thus, Qualcomm has little incentive to maintain old chips for long. Not because they are evil, that would be another conversation, but because they only make money off newly sold phones.
Time for the dark souls run I guess
True, but by the same argument, you still need a house to put it all in.

(To address the downvote: I consider a phone to be a different class of product, in the context of this discussion. Nobody is seriously talking about coding on their phone.)

ShowHN: LinkedIn prospect research tool – assist outreach msg personalization
Sales is a numbers game and I rarely get a response if I don't personalize my cold emails. But researching on prospects is time consuming. As such I created a Chrome extension tool to automate this task.

My software automatically searches for recent company news and suggest an opener in 10 seconds or less. Currently only works on LinkedIn profiles.

I know it's not 100% relevant. Some of you might find the suggested email openers cringy but I reckon my software can provide some personalization ideas, as an alternative to the commonly used phrase "hope you're well."

It's now available on Chrome Web Store - 100% free. I'm a programmer - feel free to roast it. I'd really appreciate it if you could share any suggestions for improvement with me.
Any language with function types and singletons.

No, it isn't. "Trivial" in the context of Rice's theorem means either true of all Turing machines or false of all Turing machines.
Don't forget those reallocations require copying as well. Also reallocation can increase memory fragmentation, not that it matters for this toy problem.

Basically doing less computation is always a win when it's trivial to do so. This is not a c++ issue.
An acquaintance of mine is an FBI investigator and moonlights as a higher-grade Realtor.

He would use the same memory card and high end camera both during "stakeouts" for surveillance photos as well as listing photos for the homes he was selling.

One day he uploaded the entire contents of the memory card to the MLS on one of his public listings, surveillance photos and all. I'm pretty sure everything was up for a few days before being cleaned up.

It's been years but I still haven't made up my mind on whether that makes him a worse agent of law enforcement or real estate.
Why x86 only? Is that a hard requirement?
You're not their target audience, then.

It's like spam having obvious misspellings as a bandpass filter for lowered reasoning faculties. YouTube ads are made to appeal to the type of person who doesn't use adblocking. They don't care if they're intolerable to you - they already know you're not going to engage.

The question is, if ads are forced on the rest of us and we can't walk into the proverbial other room while they're on, how might we allow ads, make them useless for capturing real data about us, but have them appear valuable?

Yes.

Great points and whereas many may begin drinking to aid in some way with social interactions there are many that drink for what I think is closer to the second part/activity of the quote, to hide, forget, ignore, avoid, etc., and often increase their consumption while isolating themselves. For the alcoholic, it's more about what Tolstoy was saying than about social lubrication
In those cases you can't attribute, but that's okay. With normal ads you have zero certainty of attribution.
California is probably the most prepared state in the US, by far, for the climate issues coming.

The problem is it’s also the most currently affected. Mostly due to historic forestry mismanagement (which they’ve corrected but it takes time to make an impact) and the maliciously incompetent behavior of PG&E.

Most of the East Coast is going to be a mess. Same with states near the Gulf. Texas can’t even function now in climate fluctuations without having its grid collapse.

California has its issues, but they’re largely caused over water rights being improperly managed due to unrestrained agricultural usage. Fix that and they have much a ton fewer issues.
This era had shoutads/clickagents, eads and doubleclick for monetization. Banner ads were obtrusive and complained about at the time. I remember text ads google was pushing were actually a welcome change.
I used to work for a University. We did somewhat consultancy-near work for public administration. Administration approached us to write a paper/report, praising the benefits of mobile devices, specifically iOS Pads for "innovation work".

After analysis of the typical work been, my conclusion was stick with laptops. Only top management is directing, others create by entering text into a device. They need a proper keyboard.

My advice was put down and numerous Pads have been ordered. Workforce increased steadily because suddenly it became apparent that someone has to do the work. Sure, that was not the only reason, would need to to a proper sensitivity analysis.

Was a personal victory but a sad day for the tax payer.

When I was a kid it was my premier way to get bulk fake Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. What was crazy to me at the time is they were properly sealed in packs. Very obviously fake though. Thick, waxy, overly saturated with very low res and wrong fonts. Not to mention at least 4 years old. On the Pokémon cards the text and overall look was right though, so I still used them on the playground.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, however, were the extremely fun poorly translated ones. “Spell Slame”, “GGGG”, “Rock Corrosion Devil - Love Fake”. I think my favorite though was a “Storm King” I traded for a legit Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. I told the kid like 3 times it was fake, but he was bound and determined. Worked out for me, since I ran Blue-Eyes, but was just very weird.

That's not an infringement of privacy in any way. Likewise then you know what the buyer purchased, since you sold it to her.

> Goodreads Cares about Engagement Not Accuracy

Yes, of course. Accuracy doesn’t make money, engagement does. This is the problem with the current state of the internet. People forgot that engagement was just the path to accuracy but is much harder to measure. So people realized that they can increase engagement to make money.
Not everything has to be illegal just because you’re annoyed by it.

Maybe contact the politicians you’re interested in and make them aware of the problem. Get them to swap to Mastodon or even better, a blog/website.
I disagree with this. You pay a realtor because a good one stays up to date with what's happening in the market, has a network of vetted contractors/potential buyers/other connections, has up-to-date frameworks for handling the processes and timing of tricky situations that can arise.

Sure, you can do all that yourself if you want, but for the average person, they are providing value.
Trying really hard to not be mean/offensive really is the same thing as putting people in camps for criticizing those in power.
The rapeseed oil isn't considered toxic anymore, since they take steps to remove the erucic acid from it, by growing canola bred to contain very little of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed_oil#Erucic_acid

While it says it's "generally considered safe", I prefer not to take any chances, just like I prefer to avoid plastic containers for my food, especially if hot (even though some plastics are "microwave safe").

Windwaker was most definitely a game 3 for me, with TP being a game 4, with all the signs of a game 4. Now we are getting average-mediocre open world games with Zelda IP skinned on them.

A good real estate agent can provide a lot of value, especially if you're a first-time buyer.

* They've seen a lot of houses, and know what to look out for even before you commit to calling in inspectors.

* They've seen a lot of closings, and can handle all of the title/law crud. "Quick closing" can be a big plus to some sellers.

* They've seen a lot of negotiations, and can help you get a feel for how the other party is thinking.

There certainly are people who unlock the door, stare at their phone all day, and collect their commission. Those aren't very good agents, even if they can get the job done when the market is extremely short on supply.
Aren't quite a lot of these just photos of terrible or ridiculous properties?

The system broke down when they stopped trying to disperse immigrants across wide areas and directly integrate them into the social/military system.

Instead they allowed them to settle as a group, maintain their own leadership and armies and just function basically as ‘vassals’ states of Rome and we know how that ended…
I've found Goodreads incredibly useful for discovering books and keeping track of them. Def need to read between the lines with reviews, esp. if there is a polarizing topic like mentioned in the article (glorifying Russia with ongoing Ukraine conflict). I recently read a book about Francisco de Orellana's exploration of the Amazon River in the 16th century - many reviews upset that the author wasn't using every other word to call the Spanish evil conquering colonists.

Here’s another line of thought: YT could have straddled P2P tech and hosting directly (premium 4K offerings etc.). But Google wants all the content and all the control. The world’s video library is controlled by one corporation. They could farm the cost to peer tech but they won’t. So fuck them, I’ll circumnavigate my way into the library to watch some guy in his shed work on his hobby who isn’t begging for likes and subs.

And if I did pay? Google will still be logging my data. So fuck them once again.

This will sound harsh, but mostly real estate agents are suckers who are actively getting scammed by the brokerage. Brokerages have a virtual monopoly (oligopoly) on listings and comparable sale prices though MLS (I'm in Canada but I think the US is the same) and as such it's in most seller's and buyers interests use them. Agents are getting charged all sorts of scam fees to market themselves in exchange for getting to tap into the MLS. Every ad and stupid video and contract and mailer and whatnot is getting sold to them by the brokerage who is siphoning off all the money they can. The real suckers are the agents, even if they don't really do anything.
I was really hoping it was going to be photos of how silly real estate agents look in their profiles.

When I was in China in 2019, the VPN built into google fi actually got me around the GFW with zero effort. I didn’t even realize it until I caught myself checking American social media unhindered.

My experience is most younger and tech savvy people have a VPN. It’s common / casual, like speeding your car by 10mph on the highway.

Most people are not persecuted for using a VPN, I assume that’s reserved for people who the government already wanted to persecute and just need to give an excuse for why they detained their target.
