We try to only shop BOGOs at Publix, but I was trying to pick one of my children’s favorite foods, something we always purchase, as an example.

There are many other examples though, goldfish crackers, nacho chips, tortillas, ground beef. All of it has increase between 20% and 90%.

If we only judge inflation and cost increases based off the necessities, or based off the cheapest variant of an item, then we ignore the quality of life aspect.

If you base inflations off a fixed set of items, then companies would avoid adjusting those fixed set of items to justify not increasing employee pay. Our government has already been doing this to avoid the truth of how bad inflation is by using “equivalent” substitutes for staple items.

"Art is anything you can get away with" – Marshall McLuhan

Many people take the saying as negative, but McLuhan said it from deep respect for art. Art is cultural product and 'getting away with' is cultural process related to the audience.

Horror in this case is how art presents realities of humanity.

ps. Andy Warhol quoted McLuhan and made the saying famous, but did not originate the quote.
If houses were so "cheap", why is the home ownership rate higher today? Why wouldn't everybody just buy one of those "cheap" houses?

Its amazing how few impassioned defenses of the current structure of government arise from spontaneous admiration of the excellence of the results produced.

When there's large parts of the government that apparently do not answer to Congress, the President, or the Supreme Court, it's in need of restructuring. Bring the burrocracy back in line with the Constitution; that should trim about 90% of the Federal workforce alone.

Yep. Pretty much. This is a not-uncommon sentiment among philosophers. It's the only way they can cope with the shift in the societal power dynamic that has happened since Newton and Darwin and Einstein and Turing and Bell. Science has subsumed philosophy, and the philosophers really hate that.
FYI - Your two primary alternatives are LastPass and 1Password. The former of which is melting down due to security flaws, and the latter has raised roughly $1B in VC money:

https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/19/1password-series-c-funding...

At a certain point, you just have to live your life. To accept that products you use might change in the future, and you might need to migrate to something else down the road.

The alternative is just keep something like KeePass around on a thumb drive, and forgo all the cloud sync, and browser and native app autocomplete integration. But those things are really the main point to all these products. Without that, I would argue that you're better off with a pad of paper in your desk drawer.

> That seems like horrible "art" and the it only has shock value.

It could have been nothing, if none of the audience would have dared to touch her. But then the audience did make it into "shock value" by treating her the way they treated her.

They didn't have to, but seems people naturally gravitated that way.

Never read Follett but certainly keen for Brandon Sanderson's 5th Stormlight book sometime next year, they are huge books, he's definitely become my favourite writer despite being a bit meandering in prose sometimes.

The guy raised $40m in a kickstarter and pumped out 4 novellas this year, it's impressive how much of a literary machine he is.

Good to see another start kit.

I was recently looking for one. I was ready to trade the need of training myself in some technologies (Svelte in your case) for a good set of "batteries included".

I would suggest that you either put an online demo and include a link in a prominent place in your README, or describe the features in a clearer way. You currently list Stripe, Lemon Squeezy etc. in your Tech Stack section. ShipFast has a better way of doing that on their website. They list features like email, payment, login, etc. When you click on the feature they display the options they support including the technical details.
Hosting at data centers is expensive, hosting at home is not expensive. You probably already pay for internet, why not use it.

My home server costs me about 3 euro per month in electricity (and it is quite beefy for a home server) and it runs many services, not just Vaultwarden. Add homeassistant for smart home, nextcloud for document cloud, jellyfin for media, immich for photo backups, etc. Maintenance using docker and compose is also trivial task.

On top of that, it runs in a private network and has limited exposure to the outside world though VPN in case you need to access it away from home.

Yes, hosting a single service is more expensive, but hosting a bunch is much much cheaper.
> Wait. What? An "anti-trust" trial against one of the five trillion dollar company in the world abusing its monopoly power is taken seriously on its claim it could cause "competitive harm"? Catch 22.

I don’t see the catch 22? Google is entitled to a legal presumption of innocence like any other organization, so the court can’t yet make decisions based on the premise that it is abusing its alleged monopoly power. It’s important for courts to avoid the perception that merely being the target of a lawsuit is a punishment, although of course in many ways it is.
High speed rail tends to be better because trains are supported not by air but by rails on the ground. Weight penalties are significantly reduced.

One aspect of HSR vs air that I have bit of issues but are rarely mentioned is what car people call NVH characteristic - Noise, Vibration, and Harshness - are much worse in HSR than airplanes. It's a bit of in-between with high speed taxing, windy day in a high rise building and rollercoaster ride all the way to the destination.

Airplanes are magic carpets once up there, and that can be more comfortable than trains.
Heck, dogfood your own product and hire someone to ask ChatGTP to do it!
Let's say for sake of argument the investment by FTX was made at a valuation of $1B and Anthropic is now worth $10B.

Could Anthropic now say, "Oh no, that money was stolen, the investment was never valid, we're returning every last cent." and essentially do a huge share buyback at a steep discount to current valuation?
> building any kind of general-use AI tool or app is a bad choice

Maybe not if you rely on models that can be ran locally.

OpenAI is big now, and will probably stay big, but with hardware acceleration, AI-anything will become ubiquitous and OpenAI won’t be able to control a domain that’s probably going to be as wide as what computing is already today.

The shape of what’s coming is hard to imagine now. I feel like the kid I was when I got my first 8-bit computer in the eighties: I knew it was going to change the world, but I had little idea how far, wide and fast it would be.

640Mbps should be enough for anyone!

It is kind of amusing that 5G surpasses wifi when it's obviously a more complicated protocol (though, it's frequency regulated whereas your wifi is not; perhaps testing your wifi in the middle of a field in Kansas with nothing around would get better speeds).
Do you not think it's interesting that there was "shock" at all?
There is more than shock value though. Note that the artist herself did not do anything shocking. Without the public she'd just sit there for 6 hours and probably get bored.

This is a fairly perpetual discussion, but I'll go for another round:

I feel like using LLM today is like using search 15 years ago - you get a feel for getting results you want.

I'd never use chatGPT for anything that's even remotely obscure, controversial, or niche.

But through all my double-checking, I've had phenomenal success rate in getting useful, readable, valid responses to well-covered / documented topics such as introductory french, introductory music theory, well-covered & non-controversial history and science.

I'd love to see the example you experienced; if I ask chatGPT "tell me about Toronto, Canada", my expectation would be to get high accuracy. If I asked it "Was Hum, Croatia, part of the Istrian liberation movement in the seventies", I'd have far less confidence - it's a leading question, on a less covered topic, introducing inaccuracies in the prompt.

My point is - for a 3 hour drive to cottage, I'm OK with something that's only 95% accurate on easy topics! I'd get no better from my spouse or best friend if they made it on the same drive :). My life will not depend on it, I'll have an educationally good time and miles will pass faster :).

(also, these conversations always seem to end in suffocatingly self-righteous "I don't know how others can live in this post-fact free world of ignorance", but that has a LOT of assumptions and, ironically, non-factual bias in it as well)
Abromovic's art isn't for everyone, but you can't really deny that this produced some really crazy reactions.

All modern art produces strong opinions in the audience, but performance art trips a lot of peoples BS sensor.

That said, I don't know how you see the results of this and not come away at least thinking about what happened. Which is the point, and that makes it successful as art.

She is also a focal point of paranoid speculation among pizza-gate and Q types. They think that elites use her as some performance art shaman that helps them do something? Not sure what, but its bad.
> My mom was homeless for years

> I wasn't financially able to help her much but managed to buy her a "clunker" of a car which she later slept in before getting housing

Ah… So… If you had a place to live couldn’t you let her live in that same place too, instead of her being homeless?

My parents lost their jobs due to covid, and even though they treated me bad when I was a kid I still let them in my house. How can you let your parents be homeless like that? Is this an American thing? (I’m originally from Europe but live in US for over a decade).
Do you mean use the LLM as a post-processing step within a ChatGPT conversation? Or generally (like as part of Whisper)? If it’s the former, I’ve found that ChatGPT is good at working around transcription errors. Regarding the latter, I agree, but it wouldn’t be hard to use the GPT API for that.
tl;dr wage suppression was behind it, with the pressure coming from wall street.

The home upgrade that most folks need is a symmetrical fibre optic of some kind, with open-access [1] and either municipal [2] or non-profit at OSI Layer 1/2, with competition at OSI Layer 3. I think at this point 100Mbps would be the minimum, with diminishing returns once you start getting above 1Gbps (but available with XG(S)-PON(G.98(0)7)/NG-PON2(G.989)/HSP(G.9804) and 802.3ca).

It was technically possible to wire up entire countries and continents for electricity and phone service, so I doubt there are any technical hurdles in doing the same with fibre.

I've noticed this with my parents — for decades they reacted negatively to any changes the regulations around Australia's housing market, since that was and remains the principal personal wealth creation mechanism in Australia...

Until they reached retirement age. Then the painful realisation that, without plentiful housing, rental prices would consume most of their government pension. Now they're one expense away from financial ruin.
Or worse, it rewards those that are "in demand" elsewhere, and harms those that due to some factors outside of their control (sexism, racism) would receive less interest elsewhere, so they can be paid less to keep them here.

I once spoke with someone who acknowledged this, but said it wasn't a bad thing - if the market has decided that someone is worth less, why should he pay them more than he has to?
In humans, there seems to be a match between the subjective experience of consciousness and a high level planning job that needs doing. Our current LLMs are bad at high level planning, and it seems reasonable to suppose that making them good at high level planning might make them conscious or vice versa.

Agreed, woo is silly, but I didn't read it as woo but rather as a postulation that consciousness is what does high level planning.
If you were going to suggest something like "let's use Laravel to create a WordPress-like CMS" I would have joined yesterday!

Yes, I know there are other CMS-es, like OctoberCMS and its fork WinterCMS, but we need a bridge between Laravel and WordPress.

The reason is of course the ease of migration from WordPress to something better than what we currently have.

I have lost interest in WordPress in general, but there's no other alternative to it, thus the need for one!
one of the original training sets for the BERT series is called 'BookCorpus', accumulated by regular grad students for Natural Language Processing science.

What? What nonsense did you just string together here? You're purporting that the people who have quite literally everything are the ones trapped by the system? So then they can change the fucking system, which is an ability they posses the rest of us do not.

How many poor people have you met who are happy to be poor? Have you actually met and talked to any poor people?
This article isn't covering the lack of structured concurrency and the blocking dependency on async Drop. The resulting state of async Rust includes leaks and inadequate task management.

You apply with the knowledge that you will earn at least $110k, and if you want more, you should apply to more employers so that you have the negotiating position to ask for more.

Is this the video I saw where they had pulled him over, he refused to show ID, and then drove off pushing/pulling the officer for a second?

That doesn’t mean he should be shot - but if this is the same case I’m thinking, I wouldn’t count someone with a vehicle as unarmed. It is very much is armed, ask Nice where a single rental truck killed more people than any mass shooting in the USA ever.

You can disagree without being angry or cynical. That you think you need to be cynical, pissed, or "pissing on the happy-go-lucky-parade" to disagree and engage with real problems is the notion I hold issue with.

I can think of a handful of reasons why they may do so.

Being a contrarian is not hard. It certainly does not mean that the person being a contrarian is right (or right to do so, especially if the methods is being an insufferable colleague).

Yes it does. Those best practices are very easy to follow and are enforced by analyzers.

Not disagreeing with your observations, but I'd like to add property taxes, and most specifically, the portion used to support public schools, to your list. Excluding the past year, this is where I've seen the greatest increases in my expenses.

And since it's government creating most of this, it's hard to imagine that there's any relief to be found by looking towards government for a solution.

That ratio is bogus. It includes a lot of homes that are abandoned and beyond repair, vacation homes that are seasonally vacant and not even close to the same areas where people are homeless, and homes that are temporarily vacant as they transition between owners or renters.

On top of that, the number of homeless people is usually understated.

It's definitely a supply and demand issue.

> npt doesn’t solve things because prefix lengths are variable

Then you pick your shortest prefix length and use that for your network configuration, no? Nothing in NPT is forcing you to use a /48 or a /56, if your failover uplink only provides you with a /80 for some stupid reason you'll still be able to do translation.

DHCPv6 is supported just fine by everything but Android (for some annoying reason). Even with SLAAC, IP addresses shouldn't rotate, unless you enable Privacy Extensions on your server.

If this were the bakery just around the corner we're talking about, I would've accepted these problems as illogical to even try to overcome, but these are billion dollar companies selling network access. When networking is one of your major streams of revenue, I expect better.
