Everyone says its regulations. But nobody wants leaky pipes, and faulty electrical wiring. Which is what happens when you start cutting back regulations, because construction contractors will cut corners, to a really shocking degree.

> Michael Polanyi's _Personal Knowledge_ pretty much killed logical positivism, because he showed that no scientist is in the fully objective position that was required to set up and evaluate the experiments.

That's an unusual claim. It's typically attributed to the criticisms of Popper and Quine, after which the foundations were undermined.
The problem is the market. Corrective action and regulation must be made.

> So apartments shouldn't exist? Or...?

The state/county/city/whatever entity could provide those and make it a +/-0 thing for their books. They don't need to make money by doing that. "Social housing" is a concept that has been pretty much lost, I think.
There’s some nuance to the RSU situation. The problem that Microsoft (and Amazon) faced with the equity portion of comp was dilution. Declining revenue with large outstanding stock grants leads to a massive EPS hit. That tanks your stock price, requiring more RSUs, rinse and repeat.
I bounced off of one of the early Stormlight books, maybe Way of Kings. Doesn’t mean it’s bad or others won’t find it rewarding. Sanderson rewards readers who are looking for world building and the reveal of the way things work.

I liked the first Mistborn trilogy, but couldn’t get into the later ones.

For recent large scale fiction that’s also not going to work for everyone, I really liked the Terra Ignota series. (But, if the warnings and the first chapter put you off, you’re not going to like it)
Nice to see that the log analysis is being worked on.

I'll see if I can figure out the integrations you pointed out. They look more like they are aimed at monitoring the metrics of the tools, not using the tools to aggregate logs. Right?

The way most ops systems treat logs and metrics as completely separate areas has always struck me as odd. Both are related to each other, and having them in the same system should be default. That's why I've put as much effort into the ELK Stack as I have. They've seemed to be the only ones who have really grasped that idea. (Though it's been a year or two since I've really surveyed the space...)

One question not log related, is it required to sign up for a cloud account to get multiple nodes displaying in the same screen? From the docs on streaming, I think you can configure nodes to send data to a parent node without a cloud account, but I either haven't configured it properly yet, or something else is in the way, since the node I'm trying to set up as a parent isn't showing anything from the child node.
TL;DR

1. During early pandemic phase MS Sr. leadership correctly guessed that the demand will be sky high due to lockdowns.

2. Most leadership went overboard in memetic fashion and projected unrealistic and unsustainable growth numbers. Sane voices were ignored.

3. These numbers didn’t materialise and by mid ‘22 they made the mind to layoff people

4. OpenAI pulled a reverse MS-IBM on MS and Satya and others were enamoured by ChatGPT demo.

5. Investors saw the rapid hiring as diluting the stock value and backed the layoffs.

6. Layoffs happen and thousands are caught in that turmoil.
Prefacing with that I love this piece and have always found it fascinating.

This has always been my main criticism. As art, it's lovely - horrifying, but fascinating.

As a critique of humanity, it doesn't sit well with me to assert anything in a general way based on the behavior of the audience. I don't see humanity so bleakly as to assume this would happen in every case with any group of people.
It's still valid to argue that this was an audience, rather than something generalizable to humankind. Conformity looks very different depending on context: if this piece were being performed in an Amish community it would look very different than it did, not because of less group conformity (there would likely be stronger conformity) but because of conformity to different norms.
>Part of the problem is government regulation

Perhaps, but I think the more difficult issue in communities is how developers take over city councils and hamstring especially high-density development to benefit themselves personally- to eliminate competition and only let their or friends' own pet projects see the light of day.

Also since they are almost always wealthy, they do not want housing to assist the poor or nontraditional housing that takes advantage of alternative energy to be built near their properties because in their mind it devalues them.

I think they are going to be tragically wrong in the near future, but the bubble around capitalist-oriented real estate is VERY strong and unlikely to burst until it's catastrophic.

> housing the middle class is always going to be more profitable than housing the poor

You could make this argument for any product. Of course it’s more profitable to cook steaks for the rich. That doesn’t mean nobody poor has ever eaten.

About one percent of Americans are poor on a global scale [1]. Unaffordability of housing is a political choice. It is driven by an alliance between cynical and ignorant interests.

In theory those making more money would be the most threatening, having enough extra money to translate into political power.

Also in theory, pensioners and the insured are the beneficiaries of hedge fund profits via their institutions investments. But nobody is policing the thoughts of the fund managers.
Intelligent Tapping Machine: Tap Geometry Inspection
It is very hard to read philosophy in this phenomenological/continental tradition. There is a real resistance in that tradition to plainly stating a core thesis. There may well be defensible reasons for this - maybe it preserves the subtleties, peculiar texture; the holistic, or even contradictory nature of thought or consciousness or what have you. But I think a lot of the time these philosophers won't come right out and say what they mean because they don't really know what they mean, and any sufficiently plain statement of their views would reveal itself as either trivially correct, or obviously wrong. Here is an example:

> Bergson seems to argue that even Einstein’s concept of time, as what’s measured by a clock, is based on some more fundamental, more real, non-mathematical view of time, time as we perceive it, which might defy exact mathematical expression. What sense of time does Bergson have in mind here?

> Consider, for example, how different pre-modern notions of time are from ours. When I write about the history of time in contemporary times, I always have in the back of my mind the image of Saturn devouring his son. In it, the passage, keeping and telling of time occurs be reference to love, violence, anthropophagy and reproduction. Throughout time, it is clear that we are dealing with radically different beasts. Bergson did not draw such stark distinctions, but in Duration and Simultaneity he asked us not to forget how time was a precondition for effective action. “Le temps est pour moi ce qu'il y a de plus réel et de plus nécessaire ; c'est la condition fondamentale de l'action ; – que dis-je ? c'est l'action même.”

> Einstein’s definition of time has none of these radical elements and might even be responsible for leading us to forget about them.

This question gets at the heart of the matter: what exactly is the disagreement between Bergson and Einstein? And we get a non-answer as far as I can tell. I have no idea what "radical elements" she is referencing. There some notion about ideas like "violence" or "reproduction" being stand-ins for the concept of time? and something about time being a precondition for, or even identical to, action? Violence and reproduction and action per se all take a non-zero amount of clock time, so I don't what the conflict is here.

Ok, enough rambling. If anyone has a reaction similar to mine, they might find a more relatable exploration of this subject in Wilfrid Sellars' concepts of the the (naive, common-sensical, person-centric) "manifest image" and the "scientific image", and the role of philosophy in reconciling them.
I think this is where all the AI stuff is headed.

Authors, artists, etc. are suing projects whose models just inhaled their work and generate derivative works and I'm surprised the studios aren't getting more involved with going after AI models that included their properties in them.

I can see this going the route of us having a Disney AI, Sony AI, Discovery AI, Amazon AI, etc. where you can generate stuff using models owned by the studios, but only those studios and any public domain stuff they suck in too.

There’s still a lot of value in philosophy when we use it to think about how we structure and rationalize the world.

Even if science gives us ever better models of the underlying reality of the universe, there’s still the understanding of how we conceptualize that reality and what it means to us. Specifically in ways that don’t require religion or supernatural beings, nor in purely psychological means of perception or physiology.

I think of it as the study of the emergent properties of complex information processing. It can do things like help us talk about the minds of others, for example future AI, potential extraterrestrial intelligences, or even other terrestrial intelligences (dolphins, octopus, etc)

> In the past most people were religious and that gave them meaning. Religion is in decline now but I think people are just replacing it with worshipping the progression of technology basically. For the last 100 years there's always been a clear direction to move in to progress technology, and we haven't really had to think very hard. That's what AI is going to bring an end to I think and I have no idea what we are going to do.

Fascinating thought. Technology as the new religion is smth I’ll have to think about more.

It's totally fine if they raise rent in step with inflation. It's the dramatic raise that's the problem; the tenant will have to choose between paying the extra cost of rent, or paying the extra cost of moving out, and they have no way to avoid that cost, through no fault of their own. Someone could be forced out of the home around which they have built their entire life.

OK... Try this: there are "conscious" people, today, working on medication to cure serious illnesses just as there are "conscious" people, still today, working on making travel safer.

Would you trust ChatGPT to create, today, medication to cure serious illnesses and would you trust ChatGPT, today, to come up with safer airplanes?

That's how "conscious" ChatGPT is.
I was coming to write a similar comment. It's a pity that the article doesn't talk more about the audience.

To answer your question the name is suitably cryptic and can be interpreted as referring to the artist not moving. It kind of pales compared to the my thoughts about the actual 6 hour performance which truthfully leaves me feeling a bit nauseous and disturbed
How do you define "explanation"?
The only thing that Wi-Fi 7 might solve right now is powerful local and ad-hoc data transfers. 48gbps would allow for SSD-like speeds over the air. On a home network, you could back up your entire laptop in a few minutes to a NAS. With ad-hoc you could film in raw 8K, and back up everything to a battery powered storage device in a backpack in real time, without needing to be tethered.

It certainly isn't a worthless upgrade, but your average user doesn't need it. It's definitely putting the cart before the horse, and for the majority of home use cases we need better reliability, not more speed.

Ideally, I would like to see a unified standard that allows for devices to connect different wireless bands simultaneously, allowing for both speed and reliability based on respective signal strength and quality.
> There is no consumer problem of today, no domestic use case imaginable, where 50Gbps works where 10 will not.

Honestly, 640kbps should be enough for anyone, if you ask me.
It's not a fair review place. But it is an honest review place wherein no one tries to paper over reality. Turns out, reality is toxic.
You are just being brainwashed by BEV propaganda. Not only do people with a brain still believe in hydrogen for cars, that includes the majority of automotive engineers. BEVs are the weird, government mandated BS cars that few people want. If the car industry was given a democratic choice, it will pivot to hydrogen as the future.

I rent cars all the time going to suburban office parks and even more so if I’m also going to do a hike in some state park or whatever—where there may not even be cell phone reception. I might be marginally more inclined to get an Uber than do a rental than in years past but only marginally.

In a few weeks I’ll be going to a conference in Monterey and will be doing some other activities around the conference in some parks and I’ll definitely rent a car.

To be clear I won’t generally rent a car if just within eg SF but I’m often going places outside the city where I’m not even staying somewhere I can walk to my destination. And typically I wouldn’t in Europe.
> It often feels like product ratings. Only the people who didn't like it bother to write a review.

In my experience, product ratings are not at all like that. Tons of people who like stuff leave positive reviews, and frequently leave evidence they have low standards or are not good at evaluating quality.
I don't think the Netflix DVD customer base is on the go all that much. If anything I would guess they are the segment most likely to still have a cable TV subscription, and do all their media watching at home on a TV.

I think I read this somewhere but I am struggling to recall where, so hopefully I didn't dream this: I believe the larger channels are much, much larger and include adaptive techniques to dynamically exclude noisy regions within channel. It can afford to entirely sacrifice bands in this way because the channels are much larger.
Welcome to late stage capitalism.
I think I agree with you in principle.

I don’t understand how the consolidation of the housing market doesn’t create a feedback loop that prevents that counterfactual reality?

A few asset management companies have been purchasing the entire supply chain. From land to homes, from builders to agents.

These companies have a large amount of capital to deploy to make sure their assets go up and to the right.

It also seems like that capital being deployed to create a positive feedback loop pricing buyers out of the market is being funded by … buyers in the market. It’s partly their retirement assets. It seems that, in a very real way, buyers are bidding against their own retirement accounts trying to maximize returns in a decelerating market.

I very much agree that it’s government policy that gave rise to this, and that the counterfactual reality would normalize prices, but I’m not sure you can separate off corporate buyers from the feedback loop.

It all seems to be part of the same death spiral.
I lot of society's ills are blamed on the common man. Never the elite.
This is basically cultural. In my home country straws are basically something small kids use. There are just a few beverages where a straw really adds some value, like some alcoholic drinks with plenty of floating stuff and milk-shakes.

If anything, straws make some stuff TOO easy, like drinking loads of soda while driving, and this is not good for you.

I think that a lot of problems could be solved by people just consuming less of some stuffs, instead of trying to find a technical solution to the present problems of consuming some of that stuff.
They never talk about outsourcing leadership or management positions to some no-name consultancy.

A small nitpick. FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED was mainstream (in a sense) way before it was copied from Oracle to Postgres. It's used under the hood in most non-trivial Oracle deployments. Like for replication or refreshing materialized views in parallel.
Your definition of “class” seems to be a kind of vague proxy for “income”. The original comment was using a more accurate definition aligning more with a capital vs labor distinction: are you paid in wages or are you paid in profits?

I think an important question is if the durability suffers. Reuse is better than recyclability. If they had bricks made of recyclable plastic but they only lasted ten years, I would argue that was worse.

We should push as much as possible for durable, repairable products, and then focus on getting those products removed from the waste stream.

Imagine if LEGO was able to incorporate bricks returned to them from Replay like programs into brand new sets. A lot of new sets have unique pieces but they still use a lot of traditional parts, not to mention basic sets like LEGO Creator.
West Virginia didn’t outlaw new housing like Portland did. American cities largely rejected supply and demand over the last decades, as land-owning interests found alliance, variously, with renting incumbents and the economically naive.
