I am (still!) writing a book I intend to self-publish. There are printers who can do a single run of a single book. I am not aware (though I suspect I will be wrong) of anyone doing similar things for vinyl (CD is fairly obviously common).

But I could imagine there is a fairly large number of people who would love to record and press their own album, and one or two of them might actually be able to sell their stuff to strangers.

If I wanted to start a record label, that's probably the value I might be able to bring - vinyl presses, maybe studio recording and self publishing.
Sci-Fi Nerd Alert:

“Grok” was Valentine Michael Smith’s rendering for human ears and vocal cords of a Martian word with a precise denotational semantic of “to drink”. The connotational semantics range from to literally or figuratively “drink deeply” all the way up through to consume the absented carcass of a cherished one.

I highly recommend Stranger in A Strange Land (and make sure to get the unabridged re-issue, 1990 IIRC).

> young adult extreme poverty of the 1930’s.

Sounds about right. All my grandparents were young adults during that time frame, and my family keeps a lot of stuff around. Not clinical hoarding disorder level amounts of stuff, but quite a bit more than anyone else I know. I honestly think that it makes sense to keep a fair amount of “supplies” around so that you can do what you need to with what you have, rather than having to buy new stuff.

But I also struggle to adapt to (what I consider to be disgusting) present day consumerism, where most things are disposable in economic terms. I prefer to spend my money and time fixing nice things than replacing mediocre things.

Yes. All this is saying that you do not write any code for the search algorithms. Do you know how to code? Do you have access to those repos internally? Do you read them regularly? Or are you only aware of what people tell you in meetings about it.

Your job is not to disseminate accurate information about how the algorithm works but rather to disseminate information that google has decided it wants people to know. Those are two extremely different things in this context.

I work on these kind of vague "algorithm" style products in my job, and I know that unless you are knee deep in it day to day, you have zero understanding of what it ACTUALLY does, what it ACTUALLY rewards, what it ACTUALLY punishes, which can be very different from what you were hoping it would reward and punish when you build and train it. Machine learning still does not have the kind of explanatory power to do any better than that.
Interest rates for student loans are relatively low; I would be surprised if payments didn't almost always exceed interest.

This is true, and this has been happening for all of time. Computerization eliminated hosts of jobs, lest we forget "computer" used to be a job title a century ago. Elevator operator also used to be a thing people did to support a family. It would be naive to think this professional evolution would stop in our lifetime.
In the US, backup cameras are required to be included with the car to be sold. There is no law that I'm aware of that prevents people from disabling or removing them after the sale.

EDIT: I think I was incorrect. The law says "an altered vehicle that was completed on or after this date that was equipped with a rearview camera that already meets the new rearview requirements must continue to meet these requirements after the alterations."

But I'm not sure how broadly that actually applies. So I don't know.
> Also, notice that the usual line about "it's the merch, touring, etc that really makes money" is only true because of streaming.

Given that "bands make all their money from merch and touring" has been true since at least 1970, I don't think you can blame it on streaming, no.

Before Spotify was paying out fractions of a penny per stream, you just had record labels taking $11.99 out of every $12 CD sale instead.
I've used sid on my machines for decades, as have many other people. Works great. It's not an official "release" in that it's not all tested together, but neither is Arch, really.
>As odd as it sounds, in music-as-a-business, the mentality needs to be that the music you're putting out is marketing for the actual product, which is the musician themselves.

It’s actually the other way around. The music is the product. The musicians are replaceable.

Every “music-as-a-business” has shaken up lineups and replaced musicians, front men, dancers, roadies, publicists, managers, everyone.
My city (Denver) has definitely pushed tourism HARD over the last decade, and in my view it's had mixed results. If you're a developer or like a certain class of restauranteur it's been pretty great. I also imagine it's generated a decent chunk of sales and use revenue. But this focus has come at the cost of not really prioritizing making it a good place to actually live. Some QoL stuff has improved tangentially to the tourism stuff (we've got lots of fun stuff to do now), but the actually nitty gritty of daily life (public transit, usable sidewalks, basic public amenities, etc.) needs a lot of work. Our outgoing mayor gave an interview where he said that the achievement he was most proud of was "making Denver a world class city", which in his mind seemed to equate to people who don't live here wanting to visit it. I think it's pretty telling that he focused on this, rather than something like average citizen QoL or similar.
I'm in Louisiana, US. Do you mean write a letter to my 2nd Orthodontist? I already tried to make amends with him, but they said they won't/can't take me back. I tried to see other Orthodontists local to me and the only other 2 which are nearby said no. I can't afford a lawyer right now.

> “It was made to sound like you would be booked all the time, and you could make 5, 10 grand a month,” she says. But the most she’s ever gotten has been $3,500 a month and sometimes as little as $1,000. “It’s not as much as we were expecting.”

So basically it's paying the mortgage on their $295k second home, which is a pretty good deal if you ask me. I don't think middlemen promising that you will make more money off of a deal than you actually do is a new thing, or that it's limited to AirBNB. Take estimates with a healthy grain of salt.
Various government student loans can be forgiven through a few different programs. The IDR, IBR, PAYEE, REPAYE, and now SAVE all have forgiveness dates after X years. The newest program, SAVE, forgives after 20 years of payments. These are separate from more niche forgiveness ones for teachers, or government workers. There could be more, not sure.
As one around 50 years old who needed loans to get through school, I graduated with about $20k in loans. My first year was paid for with scholarships and savings from working in high school but the scholarships were mostly one-time deals, so I had to borrow for the rest. My first job out of school paid me $32k a year and I was NOT underpaid for the time.

I was able to pay my loans off in about 7 years but mainly because I lived with my girlfriend (now wife) and we shared expenses. Point is, yes the balances are higher now but so are the salaries. The average student with my degree from my school makes about $80k to start now, so if they have $60k in loans, we are in similar situations.
Well they memorize points and lines (or tanh) between different parts of the space right? So it depends on whether a useful generalization can be extracted from the line estimation and how dense the points on the landscape are no?

> My point is this: most people who want to be musicians will NEVER make a living from sales of anything related to their music. Not from streaming. Not from touring. Not from merchandise.

So, if I understand correctly, your point is that people shouldn't try to make a living off music, period. That's fine, but art has always been a difficult road for a career; the advent of streaming has little to do with this.

> So why settle for an absolute pittance from streaming sales, when you could instead adopt a strategy that accepts the (likely) limits of your success, but maybe gets you a couple of hundred dollars a month extra, at least some of the time ?

That's not unlike asking, "Why start a business when you could instead work a 9-5 and probably make more money?"
We’re optimistic about using our own algorithms and models to evaluate another model. In theoretical computer science, it is easier to verify a correct solution than to generate a correct solution (P vs NP problem).
The point of compression is to decompress after. That's what happens during inference, and when the extrapolation occurs.

Let's say I tell GPT "write 8 times foobar". Will it? Well then it understands me and can extrapolate from the request to the proper response, without having specifically "write 8 times foobar" in its model.

Most decompression algorithms focus on predicting the next token (byte, term, etc.), believe it or not. The more accurately they predict the next token, the less information you need to store to correct misprediction.
Making statements that you wish publishers wouldn't do various things, doesn't change the actual incentives that the real-world ranking algorithms create for them.

I'm curious about hotel capacity in Airbnb locations. If 1,000 people want to visit a city, they need a place to live. If Airbnb didn't exist, would hotels just be fully booked?

Or do hotels not have the capacity?
I'm going to stick my neck out a bit and mention that I run an Airbnb in Philadelphia, it's the second floor of my building, and I'm a fan of all the regulation that's put into place.

Our cleaning fee is $50, and before we approve you, we ask - are you really just two to four people? Do you understand, this isn't a hotel, you're staying in our house, so no smoking and no parties. This filters out 99% of the people who are looking for something we're not offering.

We're one of the highest rated Airbnb's in the city. Our neighbors have no complaints. And it shames me into picking up the garbage that New Jersey visitors leave on our street when they park here to go to Dave & Busters.

I think it works because we're closer to the original model - sharing space in our home. These people who buy up properties to be remote landlords or run hands-free hotels, who complain about rules going into place as a reaction to bad behavior? Good riddance. Is that good for stock prices? Beats me, but as far as I'm concerned, when done right, it's good for everyone involved.

It is an example of how disconnected the public can be from important details relevant to public policy.
If you want fast, low-variance places to stay with no research, pick a hotel. If you want something off the beaten path, try AirBnB, VRBO, etc.

AirBnB is where caveat emptor rules. AirBnB becomes more of a gamble was they allow gaming reviews. However, I've had plenty of problems with hotels (e.g., mechanical noise) and rarely experience anything delightful (although I did once get a very nice blueberry mule). Hotels are almost never better than expected.

Using AirBnBs, I've had some wonderful surprises (beautiful views, great human interactions) and a lot of variety. I've never had a problem, but I always make sure that the host is a superhost. My wife recently stayed at a place infested with roaches but it wasn't superhosted. . .
This is an odd take.

You should enjoy programming as you will be miserable otherwise. You don’t have to enjoy all parts of the job, that is life.

That's why I said "at least".

The better approach would be to provide excellent service and tell the first guests "You were our first customers. It would mean the world to us if you write a review".

But if that is not what they do, why don't they at least have some friends book the aprtment and write a review? After investing $295,000 - would you really go totally hands-off if you value your investment?
There is a spectrum, but anecdotally I would say most people spend far too much time as a "high-effort/low-opportunity" end than the reverse.

Please don't quote "average" numbers for anything unless you also have the std. deviation listed too. Otherwise it is meaningless and misleading.

In addition, this is the definition:

> "The US Disposable Personal Income per Capita indicates American household income net of taxes for each person."

This number doesn't reflect costs in any way at all. It isn't "disposable income" as most people would use it for day to day conversation i.e. the amount left after I've paid all my fixed costs (and possibly some non-fixed costs like food).
You explicitly said that move was a "privacy scam".

Now you're backtracking to "just eroding trust". There's quite a gap there.

Hello, my name is Christopher. I am Kubernetes, anything-as-a-Code/automation and Development Experience enthusiast. I strive to gain at least basic know-how and finally build a platform/framework covering all aspects of application/services lifecycle which is simple to use, but not overengineered or too opinionated.

I can work with anything that lets me operate repeatable tools/services/processes reliably without repeating myself too much (surely not anything M$). My experience seems to be mostly with infrastructure as a code, Kubernetes ecosystem, CI/CD (process automation) and cloud AWS

I have 5 years experience with cloud/k8s/automation (CI/CD, DevEx etc.), backed by 4 years as a Python (Django) backend development and another ~4 years (throughout university) hobby sysadmin managing own ubuntu, then arch backed home router after tinkering with DD-WRT/Tomato backed routers throughout high school.

They just need to discount the price enough to get a few people willing to take a risk and write the first reviews.

I live in Airbnbs for half of the year, so occasionally I'll take a gamble on an unreviewed place with good pictures and a well written listing. So far I've almost always had a good experience with a 40-60% discount relative to comparable listings.
> It's a fair question because Virgin Galactic had played pretty fast and loose with safety in the past.

This is a tangent, but I was thinking that we got a bit lucky with the first Starship orbital flight test.[0] When you look back, chunks of fondag could have easily taken out specific Raptors which would have led to a trajectory towards a city. Now we know that Booster 7's flight termination system was basically non-functional.

SpaceX has a pretty great reputation with safety, nothing like Virgin, but that Starship test seemed far from safe.

I suspect the fear is "HOA wants a new million dollar pool" and wants to pay for it with "profits" from the energy costs.
Unfortunately I have to agree, and our housing market is REALLY bad. I think the AirBnB issue is relatively small potatoes next to big money real estate holdings firms, who've really gone wild scooping up single family housing and renting it back to people at way above what a mortgage+taxes would cost. People are starting to realize that we need to improve the housing stock options, and there is beginning to be some political will behind it, but it's very slow going.
The only work you need for accredditing classes is to be an established name. There are no checks or enforced requirements afterwards. There's no punishments for not following the rules. This is being abused all the time and people sit by and let it happen because they don't want to risk their own political position within the org.

I think his songs resonated largely with white people who had a progressive viewpoint against the apartheid government.
I see it differently. They built the best they could, but it was expensive. Now it feels to me that they are "optimizing" it for performance by seeing if they can lower the quality but still give people just enough value to pay for it. Makes me think they are trying to find a sweet spot between performance and cost. I am seeing this drop in quality, but mostly when it comes to the model remembering things you've told it in the past, and a much bigger dependence on custom instructions for prompts.

I still get value, but I have to give it the documentation I want it to focus on during the prompt, instead of referencing it earlier in the conversation.

This makes me think they are lowering it's ability to store context so that the calls don't cost as much to make.
Nobody needs to go into debt to get an education. All they need is an internet connection, time and effort. In a pinch, a library card and $10 of notebooks and pencils is enough to get far.

The problem is people going into debt for credential-granting schools that are becoming more expensive while simultaneously becoming less correlated with education.
Cutting edge bots fail because they are too perfect to be human.

It comes down to the right tool for the job. But the problem comes from scaling. I worked at a place that was using REST apis, but when they grew, they needed lots of bundling (or filtering down of excess data)d. Graphql gets bundling for almost free. While not unique, it also couples dataloaders, which essentially caches api calls on the request level.

Good ideas, but extra features require extra implementation.

I started to write something to better organize synchronizing my Homebrew installation across multiple machines, then thought someone must have done this well already. Sure enough,

https://pumpingco.de/blog/brewfile/

A fantastic, clean way to reinstall or synchronize Homebrew setups, using the command line. I'm surprised that Applite doesn't accept a brewfile to ease migration.

In my case I depend on Bash, Tailscale, and Ruby as installed by Homebrew, so a clean reinstallation is delicate. I have scripts to make sure I don't screw this up:

1 brew bundle dump.sh
2 uninstall homebrew.sh
3 install homebrew.sh
4 renew bash.sh
5 renew tailscale.sh
6 renew ruby.sh
7 renew brew bundle.sh

Paris has one of the highest population densities of any city on earth even with buildings capped at 6 stories. What an eyesore!
I agree, this is exactly my experience as well. My earlier requests for code were more thorough then they are now. I can still use it if I give it the documentation in the prompt, but it has trouble remembering context across prompts.
