> in the late 1990s, I had a mortgage with a 7.25% rate. These days, I'm one of the Haves. While I may have done better than many of my peers due to my work history, a lot of people my age, or more precisely, people who bought houses when 7.25% was considered a deal not to be missed, are in the same position.

Inflation adjusted, when you last paid 7.25% in the mid 90s, house prices were far lower. Today, buyers entering the market for the first time are getting smacked with high rates & record high purchase prices in many markets thanks to two decades of ultra low interest rates.
Reading through the comments of other people having similar problems makes me question if this is at all related to the specific issue. But I think it's worth bringing up anyway:

When I first started using PiHole, the default filters were filtering out all of the YouTube tracking domains. Which makes sense. However, these are the same domains that the history tracking uses. So it would never remember that I saw a video or how far into it I got.

Perhaps the Not Interested gets similarly blocked by tracking filters?
>Economic growth continues to be concentrated in a few metros

Doesn’t that actually prove the op’s point? People are not moving away from the metros in which their families are, so of course the largest metros would grow larger.

Personally I am very very hesitant to move cities for an economic opportunity. And that is entirely for financial reasons; if something happens to me, at least I can easily move back in with my parents.

Air defence was a weak point for Ukraine until Western countries provided some. As for the S-400, it's a post-Soviet design, and if the T-14 is vaporware and the Su-57 overhyped at best, perhaps one should not take claims on the S-400's capabilities at face value, especially given that there is visually confirmed evidence for two of them having been destroyed.
That's still China charging for allowing plastic to be dumped there, though.

Asking a statistics engine for knowledge is so unfathomable to me that it makes me physically uncomfortable. Your hyperbolic and relentless praise for a stochastic parrot or a "sentence written like a choose your own adventure by an RNG" seems unbelievably misplaced.

LLMs (Current-generation and UI/UX ones at least) will tell you all sorts of incorrect "facts" just because "these words go next to each other lots" with a great amount of gusto and implied authority.
One thing that most people don't realize is that the "in person" experience of these paintings is dramatically different to seeing a picture in a book or on a screen.

This got driven home when we visited the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

All the pictures are quite good. But if you put a bunch of different artists works together in a room, even as a rank amateur some of the paintings just immediately jump out at you. It's quite staggering just how much they jump out--and those are almost always done by one of the masters.

Another thing that people don't realize is that paintings have a third dimension--and that a lot of the masters used it. Again--the in-person experience mattrers.

It's not really a "theory" as anyone normal uses that term. We know beyond any reasonable doubt that there's significant genetic, cultural, and political ancestry tying modern Puebloan groups to the the people who inhabited Mesa Verde (and other earlier pueblos). "Most" went east to the Rio Grande area, but plenty went west too. Some Hopi ancestry also comes from other groups to the north, west and south (into modern Mexico) where Puebloan groups no longer exist.

With that said, Spanish and American colonization of the Southwest has radically changed the landscape. Much of what's now low brush used to be substantially more vegetated, similar to organ pipe national monument. Mesquite was rare outside intentional cultivation. It's actually an invasive species from the separate Chihuahuan deserts in Texas that was spread alongside cattle. Another fun fact is that prior to colonization, no part of AZ+NM was more than a day's walk from water (~20mi), which was important to long distance travel and later the Apache wars. That's no longer true due to groundwater depletion.
I read the transcript first and then checked out the audio to get a flavor of it. Maybe it's just because I read it first, but it almost sounds like Brown is reading his answers from a sheet. And/or there's some automatic removal of pauses.

I think that's a different issue. Amazon has thorny problems with takedowns. Company A trying to get rival company B's listing taken down probably happens 100's of times a day.

I'm the author of Python Crash Course, the best selling introductory Python book for some time now. Years ago, someone put out a book listing two authors: Mark Matthes and Eric Lutz. That's just a simple juxtaposition of my name and Mark Lutz, the author of O'Reilly's Learning Python. The subtitle is obviously taken from my book's subtitle as well. I assume the text is an ML-generated mess, but I haven't bought a copy to verify that.

I used to comment on reviews for books like these explaining what was happening, but Amazon turned off the ability to comment on reviews a long time ago.

I've spoken with other tech authors, and almost all of us get emails from people new to programming who have bought these kinds of books. If you're an experienced programmer, you probably know how to recognize a legitimate technical book. But people who are just starting to learn their first language don't always know what to look for. This is squarely on Amazon; they have blocked most or all of the channels for people to directly call out bad products, and they have allowed fake reviews to flourish and drown out authentic reviews.
Even if a human expert responds about something in their domain of expertise, you have to think critically about the answer. Something that fails 1% of the time is often more dangerous than something that fails 10% of the time.

The best way to use an LLM for learning is to ask a question, assume it's getting things wrong, and use that to probe your knowledge which you can iteratively use to prove the LLM's knowledge. Human experts don't put up with that and are a much more limited resource.

I think the business world has two "growing pains" right now:

1. The ruling class thinks they are more intelligent/capable than the people they rule. This isn't nearly as true as it used to be, because of the democratization of knowledge brought on by the internet. We are seeing, I think, that in many cases the people at the top are not only not infallible, but incompetent.

This has always been true. But the average person today is significantly more informed than in prior decades, and so displays of incompetence by a CEO are now often met with some flavor of: "how could someone so high up be making mistakes that business 101 students learn to avoid?"

2. ZIRP has led to a generation of leaders who know how to raise money but not how to make it. Growing a business was easier in the 2000's and 2010's compared to the last 2-3 years. VC's were handing out money like candy. Not true anymore.

Tight monetary policy is shining a light on the leaders who were in the right place at the right time to take the right credit, but would not be in the position they are if it was up to merit alone.

--

As a merc, I never understood the why of Datadog (or equiv). The teams and projects I rotated thru each embraced the "LOG ALL THE THINGS!" strategy. No guiding purpose, no esthetics. General agreement about need to improve signal to noise ratio. But little courage or gumption to act. And any such efforts would be easily rebuffed by citing the parable of Chesterfordstorm's Fences of Doom and something something about velocity.

Late last century, IT projects, like CRMs and ERPs, were plagued by over collection of data. Opaque provenance, dubious (data) quality, unclear ownership, subtractive value propositions (where the whole is worth less than the parts). No, no, don't remove that field. We might need it some day.

Today's "analytics" projects are the same, right? Every drive-by stakeholder tosses in a few tags, some misc fields, a little extra meta. And before anyone can say "kanban", the stone soup accreted enough mass to become a gravity well threatening implosion dragging the entire org-chart into the gapping maw of our universe's newest black hole.

Am I wrong?

But logging is useful, right? Or at least has that potential.

The last time I designed a system end-to-end, that's kinda what we did. Listed all the kinds of things we wanted to log. Sorta settled on formats and content (never really ever done). Did regular log bashs to explain and clear anomalies. Scripts for grooming and archiving. (For one team I rotated thru, most of their spend was on just cloudwatch. Hysterical.)

But my stuff wasn't B2C, so wasn't tainted by the attention economy, manufactured outrage, or recommenders. No tags, referrers, campaigns, etc. It was just about keeping the system up and true. And resolving customer support incidents asap.

Does any one talk or write about this? (Those SRE themed novels are now buried deep in my to read pile.)

I'd like some cookbooks or blue prints which show some idealized logging strategies, with depictions of common enough troubleshooting scenarios.

Having something authoritative to cite could reduce my semblance to an Eeyore. "Hey, team mates, you know what'd be really great?! Correlation IDs! So we can see how an action percolates thru our system!"

Just curious.

PS- Datadog's server hexagon map/chart thingie is something else. The kind of innovation that wins prizes.
This sounds like a commendable move by Amazon. I especially like the idea of requiring disclosure of use of "AI".

No, not really. It’s a simple program and Microsoft would literally just need to glue together their own existing components.

I could see when people think creating something like Uber in a day as an arrogant HN meme. But there’s no moving parts here.

> How the hell does community get formed if the actual worshipping actions isn't inherently a community building action?

Yep, Catholicism (American white-people Catholicism, at least) is weird like that. Maybe it's different in different places or among different ethnic-majority parishes, but I grew up in New Jersey and Maryland, and was dragged to mass weekly by my (devout) parents. There wasn't really any kind of community there; we showed up, took our seats, did the rituals, and then left and went home.

They also put me through CCD (Catholic version of "Sunday school") for 8 years, and while I want on some (more or less mandatory) retreats and activities with my fellow classmates, I don't recall any of those relationships extending outside class. I didn't end up forging any closer relationships with the other kids who went to my regular school, either. Granted, I may not be typical: I decided I didn't believe when I was in 5th or 6th grade, so I did the bare minimum just to get through it; maybe others tried harder and worked to make it more of a community.

I did work for our church's music director one summer in high school (mostly odd jobs and clerical stuff), and would play trumpet in the church's small ensemble for (rare) special events (regular mass just had a piano/organ player), but I didn't really get much out of that, aside from enjoying playing some music.

> but you can't even ask for a specific blessing, like "my son needs an A, can I get the whole church to pray for him" style stuff.

The church we went to in Maryland did have a small section of time devoted to community prayers. It wasn't specific, like they would just read a list of names (I think you had to sign up in advance to get someone on the list), and after each name, the congregation would respond "Lord, pray for them" or something like that.

> I'm way more skeptical of the notion of church as a community now.

I think it just depends on which religion/denomination, and the conditions in the local area. Some churches might do more to try to build community than others. And some churches might actually do build community, but many people who come for services just don't care to participate for whatever reason.

Personally I don't have a positive view of religion, but I do think it's a shame if some community-building has gone by the wayside due to declining church attendance.

The "here's a random person's opinion" style journalism is not new and isn't a result of Twitter or any social media. Whether that content is in a letter to the editor or in an article about a tweet doesn't matter. Neither required any checking or digging by a journalist.
