> What government policy would allow for a 2k apartment building and not a $500 apartment building?

At least in the UK, it's because there's pushback against perceived "luxury" flats being built rather than affordable places. That luxury flats are still 2-bedroom 600sqft starter homes doesn't really come into it, it's the class of people each is perceived to be for.

So local governments block mid-and-high end housing in favour of fewer, worse, cheaper homes instead.
Why would the communications page of their site mention him? He's mentioned on other pages if you're curious enough to explore the site, though.
Looking at this, it gave me this other idea.

I was looking over older State building codes from early 90s for a homeowners association issue.

Most of these older codes are scanned pictures of the text.

It would be interesting if they have some type of OCR extension for ChatGPT where you could upload the image of the pages and it could OCR and work with the text.

This same situation happens with the city council agendas current day. They make these 300 page pdf documents all of scanned images of the text. It is really hard to search them and figure out what is going on.
With any remotely reasonable assumption about the (opportunity or actual) cost of funds, that Corolla has cost more for someone to buy than it has to fill with fuel for that 22 years and 200K miles.

Building durable, reliable cars is more economically beneficial to owners than squeezing out another mile per gallon. (If you wanted to change that, you'd need to dramatically increase the tax on fuel.)
The effects of stone dust are pretty well understood - silicosis is deadly and similarly harmful as asbestosis, and both raise the risk of lung cancer, but I don't believe there is anything like mesothelioma related to quartz dust which is the real horror of asbestos.

I wasn't trying to say art has no value, just that its value isn't in it being a source of conclusions. Art can raise questions that we wouldn't have had otherwise, and questions are the starting point of science (and that of further art).

> I don't know how you can scientifically glean any conclusion that the artist was trying to discover or perspect, here, as effectively as she is trying to do so.

This is what I disagree with. If there is a conclusion that you think you have drawn from this work, then you should re-frame it as a hypothesis and test it properly. Or just be content with the new questions, perspectives, and the experience of it. Just don't go saying that you learned something reliably predictive about how humans behave.

slower to run, but when you keep the postgres connection open you will know that the job is still running, while with for update skip locked you would need to have a status and a job_timeout basically.

so pg_try_advisory_lock/pg_advisory_unlock can lock over transactions while for update skip locked can't, thus you would either need to keep a transaction open or use status+job_timeout (and in postgres you should not use long transactions)

basically we use c#, but we looked into https://github.com/que-rb/que which uses advisory_locks, since our jobs take like 1 min to 2 hours it was a no-brainer to use advisory_locks. it's just not the best thing if you have thousands of fast jobs per second, but for a more moderate queue where you have like 10000 jobs per minute/10 minutes/30 minutes and they take like 1 min to 2 hours its fine.

we also do not delete jobs, we do not care about storage since the job table basically does not take a lot. and we have a lot of time to catchup at night since we are only in europe

> The mechanism you described only really works with short term safety issues.

The mechanism I described works for employment issues, because employees can choose not to take a job and more dangerous jobs carry a risk premium that both employers and employees have the incentive to reduce when reasonable safety measures are available.

With leaded gasoline and CFCs the victims have no option to refuse, and it's completely legitimate to prohibit harms and risks imposed on other people without their consent.
What's bizarre is how you repeatedly misconstrue someone pointing out that your claims of harm from MDMA are not supported by evidence, into claims that it's perfectly safe to use with no qualifications.

People who use one drug often use others, and often concurrently. People with a history of mental health are also drawn to drugs. We use science to disentangle confounders like this.

I have no problem with people advising caution in using powerful drugs, and advising against them fully if they have a family history of mental health issues. I do have a problem when people try to use flawed science to give this caution a false sense of authority, or that elevate anecdotes to the level of general scientific advice.

Awesome links! I'll try to dive on both, a little at least. I think it is safe to say both sports should continue to get the attention they are getting with regards to safety. Hopefully they follow up on that more.

I'm curious on how the data works by position. Thinking on it for a moment, I'd expect risk of injury for most positions in American Football is low. Such that, for the entire sport, this data actually does make a lot of sense. However, it is also easy to see that positions like quarterback are far more likely to get certain kinds of injuries. To the credit of the league, many of the more severe injuries that we saw years ago would be illegal hits in today's game.

Again, this data does make sense. And I think it is safe to say that rugby is almost certainly more dangerous.
I don't think there is any "quibble" involved in whether record labels are good or bad for artists. And claiming that the alternative is "torrenting" is really throwing in a huge strawman.

The alternative to Spotify and the traditional record labels are places like Bandcamp, where artists get a far more significant portion of the earned money. Any industry where 99% of the money goes to the middle man or service provider rather than the creator is an industry in dire need of disruption.

My limited understanding is that Getty is at least as bad as the music industry, if not much worse. No doubt Getty will make millions of dollars from their AI image generator, while the artists may get a few cents a year if they are lucky.

edit: also, re spotify, as far as I'm aware they do carry small and independent labels. Getty is comparable to the big music labels, not to spotify.

Despite years in the Scouts, both as a participant and a Leader, I am embarrassingly bad at knots. I've always had a terrible time following visual directions given to me by someone trying to teach me a knot, and even worse at following picture guides, videos, gifs etc.

I can reliably teach an 8 year old Cub Scout how to do a reef knot and a clovehitch and that's about it.

For my shoelaces, I was making two buddy ears and just tying them together. I'd seen the Ian knot in a TED video as well as on this site and just couldn't get it. I tried over and over again only for the laces to flaccidly flop out of my hands, or for me to end up with a simple overhand knot.

It struck me one day, like a bolt of lightning, all of a sudden I was able to tie it. And boy am I glad I did. I think I was able to piece together how I needed to avoid a granny knot, but otherwise the inspiration was completely inexplicable.

Tying my laces with the Ian knot is such a small thing, but if you piece together enough of those little things your life will change drastically - for the better. If you can only do one thing for yourself this week, learn the Ian knot.
That wasn’t the message - it’s the presence of having normal people. Public transport is just as popular in NYC as it is in Tokyo despite the shit.

I love these conspiracy theory level claims that groups like the ADL are massive power brokers with far reaching influence that can just dictate the advertising spend of multi-billion dollar companies without warrant. The ADL is only just a 100 million dollar non-profit with 26 regional offices and 501 employees.

At best function as a canary in a coal mine but realistically are more like the "shit's on fire, yo" meme in stating facts that should be obvious to anyone paying attention.

If things have gotten so bad that the ADL say you're toxic, you're likely a Superfund site.

I also used to ascribe to the belief that rugby had fewer concussions (as a collegiate/semi-pro rugby player) but I wasn't aware of these data, thanks for sharing.

In retrospect, it makes sense to me. I think the nature of rugby collisions and how you play the game just lends itself to more concussions than American football. A lot of AF is throwing passes which get broken up by less violent hits versus in rugby the only way is to tackle the guy carrying the ball.
Does a monopoly make sense here? Pre starlink, there was probably a huge cost to bring internet to the island, and those doing so wanted to have some form of protection in order to confidently invest the capital to do so.
I already commented above but no, they aren't - silicosos is similar to one of the several possible diseases asbestos can give you, asbestosis, but mesothelioma is the real horror outcome from asbestos exposure which I don't believe silica has any kind of similar connected disease.

> the supply of money in consumers' hands

People are not exclusively consumers and stockpiling is a dynamic thing.

If the government is actively stopping goods production from increasing, the prices raising is a good default assumption. But it's not an universal consequence.

But anyway, the inflation spike happened much after the government stopped intervening and production of everything was already increasing quite quickly. But the main argument people use for that is that the COVID relief (and all the money going to workers) was tiny and irrelevant when compared to the direct interventions of the US government on its economy at the time, that had the explicit intent of creating inflation.
Telcos do pretty much the same -- US SIMs in China receive different Great Firewall treatment than Chinese SIMs, and I've seen some Chinese SIMs / phones on some cell networks in the US get routed back through the Great Firewall. Which is IMO pretty disgusting on the part of the US telcos, but sorta functionally the same as what you say Starlink does.
Seems unlikely that Starlink would put a base station on Saint Helena just to be able to serve some percentage of ~4000 population. Most likely the base station is somewhere else.

Other important context is her past performances [0]. Rhythm 0 is the last of five performances in which she injured herself, intentionally lost consciousness, and took medications that gave her seizures. In one of the performances a sympathetic audience came to her rescue when she fell unconscious, so she performed the next one alone with a cameraman who was instructed not to intervene. Once again, in contrast to the picture of humanity she seemed determined to paint, he intervened anyway.

Given that history, I sure wouldn't have shown up for Rhythm 0, and I don't know many decent people who would have either.

I'm fascinated at your characterization of both Kafka and Spark as being absorbed by Amazon.

AWS offers hosted versions of each. They are not, as you say "rebranded and for sale", but rather are hosted services, running whatever upstream releases.

But to say that the project as been absorbed by AWS (in either case) is simply false. Spark is developed by a community of numerous companies, of which Databricks is usually most prominent. Kafka is likewise a community of several organizations, of which Confluent tends to be the most influential.

Yes, Apache is (and always has been) business-friendly. The license enables companies to profit on those projects. But, for the most part, companies that benefit from those project also contribute back to them, as a way to ensure sustainability. That's how it is supposed to work.
Guy has an extremely surface level and superficial take on American Football. His diatribe against football sounds like something a 15 year old faux-marxist would write...Football is a complicated sport. It's incredibly difficult to piece together the real chess game that's taking place but once you do, and once you understand the orchestration that goes into play calling (defense and offense), it unlocks the incredible nature of the sport. It's a real time war-game that's orchestrated by coaches and players on the field... You have a coach that invents defensive schemes on the fly (Bill Belichek) vs a coach that will scour the history of teh sport and call a play last seen in a 1940's rose bowl (Andy Reid).
It might not use literal code (although it might), but there's definitely signs that some things like the terrain system were cribbed from KSP1, complete with the limitations of that system.

Which means they've ended up in an awful state where even if they were competant (which they are not), best case things might not be much better.

You're right they marketed it as a full re-write to avoid the problems ("Slay the Kraken"), but what was delivered was trash.
I'm not seeing as much fear about a ghost in the shell as much as I am job displacement, which is a real scenario that can play out regardless of an AI having consciousness.
> I could ask you the same.

Raised Catholic through confirmation. Long time atheist, although I attend my wife's evangelical protestant church. So admittedly an outsider's view on all of this.

> Ideas like “love thy neighbour” don’t feel very “everybody is evil” to me.

I don't know why those would be incompatible. People can be evil, but you can love them all the same.

> I’m surprised by how plainly you call that a “core belief”.

Really? Sin and the need for Jesus's salvation are universal through the branches of Christianity I've experienced. They use different terms for it—Catholicism talks about "original sin", protestants talk about "mankind's sin nature". I know nothing about Orthodox Christianity, but I would expect them to fit in there somewhere. Catholics and Protestants argue about salvation through faith or salvation through works, but they both see it as something desirable.

There are lots of branches of Christianity, and so I don't have a full picture, but I've never heard of one that didn't share this belief, and I'm not sure I'd understand what their faith is all about at that point. But if you've got some info, I'm happy to learn more. I kinda hate to quote Wikipedia here, but it mirrors my understanding:

> The doctrine of sin is central to the Christian faith, since its basic message is about redemption in Christ. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_sin)

Maybe my outsider's take on it is off, but calling these beliefs satanic seems way out there to me.
Well it is SUV so yes.
I think you're 100% on the right track here. The key is memory, loops, and maybe a few other things like external interfaces which are just plain code and not deep learning voodoo. Many things do indeed run LLM's in a loop and attach external sources. See for example AutoGPT, the ReAct paper[1], and the Reflexion paper[2].

ReAct one line summary: This is about giving the machine tools that are external interfaces, integrating those with the llm and teaching it how to use those tools with a few examples, and then letting it run the show to fulfill the user's ask/question and using the tools available to do it.

Reflexion one line summary: This builds on the ideas of ReAct, and when it detects something has gone wrong, it stops and asks itself what it might do better next time. Then the results of that are added into the prompt and it starts over on the same ask. It repeats this N times. This simple expedient increased its performance a ridiculously unexpected amount.

As a quick aside, one thing I hear even from AI engineers is "the machine has no volition, and it has no agency." Implementing the ideas in the ReAct paper, which I have done, is enough to give an AI volition and agency, for any useful definition of the terms. These things always devolve into impractical philosophical discussions though, and I usually step out of the conversation at that point and get back to coding.
