I think you're right it could have been created without AI. I'm trying to think of the right way to say it. Maybe it wouldn't have been created without AI? Or AI has made it so simple to express this idea that the idea has been expressed? Or just the idea of inpainting is what has brought this idea forward.

Yes of course people have value outside of economics that's why I said economics and not value in general. I think it's quite sad as a society we've moved towards a value system which is basically what is good for the economy is good, and if you earn more money you are better.

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.
The parent comment is complaining about the specific amount, $500, and indeed, raising the rent by a large amount (defined percentagewise) is illegal in many jurisdictions. So it seems difficult to come the idea that it is somehow absurd.
Perhaps there is a lesson there on the importance of public pensions and services.
Well, good job updating based on new information!

A lot of people just move the goalposts.
It's true.

I mean what is the point of doing schoolwork when some of the greatest minds of our time have decided the best way for the species to progress is to be replaced by machines?

Imagine you're 16 years old right now, you know about ChatGPT, you know about OpenAI and their plans, and you're being told you need to study hard to get a good career..., but you're also reading up on what the future looks like according to the technocracy.

You'd be pretty fucking confused right now wouldn't you?

It must be really hard at the moment to want to study and not cheat....
Well history doesn't belong to historians, people can believe any fan fic happened, as is tradition. Medicine doesn't belong to biology, there's a long traditional culture of alternatives. Art doesn't belong to artists, because anything is subjectively art. Philosophy doesn't belong to philosophers, who is to say some published philosophy is better than some drunken rant?
Over the weekend I put the final touches on my Rust Jobs re-write...

Following @pg's "Do things that don't scale" approach, I've streamlined my workflow to run the site manually without building the backend.

Feedback welcome.
It's not a touch screen, it's fully passive.

A touch screen might be cool, maybe for a future version... but it would drive up the price.

From a product perspective, I wonder if people wouldn't rather pick up their smart phone if they want to look at their calendar more deeply. I don't think the device should try to compete with the smart phone, it can only lose.

The only reason they're regulated is because of logistical and permitting issues. Not because they're special for any other reason. If there was private competition for delivering water it might even be cheaper.
Well I've been told that AI can't produce anything truly novel, so human artists need only retreat to the final stronghold of originality and surely human exceptionalism will remain unscathed.
> Bergson emphasised the cultural and technological context in which Einstein formulated relativity and argued that a theory of time that relies on clocks but doesn’t understand their history and significance, is incomplete

This is hard to get on board with. A theory of time is incomplete without a history of clocks? Have I misunderstood?
> "major wall st fund managers and stock holders started putting together a plan to put pressure on the wage and RSU growth"

that's what i thought.

another hedge fund douchebag sent a letter to google demanding it should cut back its workforce and lower pay around the same time: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/15/major-inv...

they saw an opportunity to cut costs. the pandemic gave too much power to white collar wage workers and as churchill and later milton friedman said, never let a crisis go to waste.
Reminds me of Steven Millhauser's story _The Knife Thrower_. The titular knife thrower deliberately scars his assistant and audience members before pushing the act to the extreme to satiate the demands of the crowd.
> What Switzerland does has no place in this discussion either.

Why?

I'm from EU; most countries here will require you to go through some legal process to become eligible to live and work there if you're from outside of EU. This is absolutely normal and expected.

Your argumentation is not only wrong, it would be impossible to maintain peace if crossing the border without any authorization was allowed. Can you imagine the number of Russian spies and saboteurs Poland would have to deal with if the borders were just open to everybody? It would be lunacy to allow that.

> Anyway now that you know illegal is a factually wrong term, are you going to stop using it?

It's not factually wrong. In most places in the world it's literally illegal to cross the border without a visa or other permit. You will get detained and expelled for doing that; and for a good reason.

That you might not like it and prefer to call it some other term doesn't change anything.
Lots of Japanese products are switching or have switched to UTF-8, so I have no doubt that modern ZIP files will extract without a problem.
Unless there is some proof otherwise, I'm gonna assume it was genuine performance art.

Taking what the author says at face value, the goal was "See what the public would do to a human if given tools and unrestricted access/allowance for 6 hours", and the conclusion is up to the audience and future viewers/readers, rather than the author trying to steer people into some predefined conclusion.

One way you could see it is "all humans are inherently evil" but that's not the way I see it, as the audience seems to eventually be split up in one "nice" group trying to stop the "not nice" group from acting out.
> If the purpose of society is not for propagation into the future, I’m not sure what is.

that doesn't involve living together in a million dollar house and it hasn't happened for 99% of the time humans have been on this planet. mating and living under the same roof are two different concepts.

you're conflating two concepts that are completely orthogonal.

Anyway: society is the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.

In no way society means "propagation into the future" and "propagation into the future" in no way means "housing should be affordable only if you are married and live together with children".

It would also otherwise mean that society in the past focused on the "mating thing" while it is clear they did not, priests, priestess, warriors, chastity rules embedded into religious or social norms, it looks to me that the most important trait of the society was to make it prosper, protect it from outside and share the labour that needed to be done in the most productive or the most "please the gods" way on the inside.

Moreover since people living alone or not in a commitment are nowadays the relative majority, it's nearly 30% in the US and in my country is an overwhelming 33.2%, there are more singles than couples here, maybe it's time society adapts to the new paradigm, society wasn't invented by some superior entity that set the rules on how we should live, comply or die style, society reflects the way people already live, unless you live in Afghanistan under the rules of the Talibans.

It means we are living in societies whose mechanics don't align with how people live, that's why it is not working for the people living in it and people cannot afford or are unhappy living in it.
This seems like the juiciest bit:

> Hiring market was booming late 2021 and early 2022. The RSU and signing bonuses were rising at an alarming rate irking wall st. The pace of stock grants for hiring talent was not sustainable. Wall st fund managers were especially critical about the dilution of the stock to sustain the hiring and retention.

> Major wall st fund managers and stock holders started putting together a plan to put pressure on the wage and RSU growth. There were multiple leaks on Reddit (which is where I got the early wind of these planned industry wide layoffs) where hedge fund employees and staff were talking about dumping as high as 300-500K tech employees over year to put serious pressure on wage growth.

> If the CEOs and CFOs were not receptive to the idea they would pressure the board. A lot of major share holders have their person on the boards of their major holding companies. Our overlords had made up their mind and nothing could stop them.

> I heard much later from someone who was present at Jackson Hole Economic Symposium in Aug 2022 that these low-key discussions started taking place between CEOs, board members, large tech investors and large fund managers at Jackson hole.

I would like to see an investigation of this. It sounds plausable to me, but you never know with posts like this if they actually reflect inside info or are just some guy LARPing being an insider.
I know there are a lot of google programmers out there, but was using search engines for programming ever a good idea? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll look up how to do absolutely simple things every day but I basically always look in the official documentation.

Which may be why I’ve been very underwhelmed by GPT so far. It’s not terrible at programming, and it’s certainly better than what I can find on Google, but it’s not better than simply looking up how things work. I’m really curious as to why it hasn’t put a more heavy weight on official documentation for its answers, they must’ve scraped that a long with all the other stuff, yet it’ll give you absolutely horrible suggestions when the real answer must be in its dataset. Maybe that would be weird for less common things, but it’s so terrible at JavaScript that it might even be able to write some of those StackOverflow answers if we’re being satirical, and the entire documentation for that would’ve been very easy to flag as important.
Could you version based on some metadata tags, instead of modules?

Well, I think the kid will already be logged into ChatGPT using a AI Teacher ChatGPT plugin which is doing interactive instruction.

They can still log in on their phone to cheat though. I wonder if OpenAI will add linked accounts and parental controls at some point. Instance 2 of ChatGPT might "tell" on the kid for cheating by informing Instance 1 running the AI Teacher plugin.
Because consciousness is metaphysical? You can't test scientifically if one person's red is the same as another's.
Humans have 3 sets of tooth buds. Most people never use the third set. For adults this treatment would aim to regrow the third set.
We're only talking about the discs, right? Maybe they've changed in the last 10 years but IIRC the envelopes were all paper. One disc probably contains less plastic than the average Chinese takeout order, and surely even at Netflix the lifetime of that disc is measured in years. That's downright eco-friendly compared to all the disposable plastic consumed by our society.
Another option for displaying things on a jailbroken Kindle is to use kterm to ssh into a computer and then connect to a tmux session. I've used this to read man pages - it's quite satisfying to press 'f' on my laptop and see the page scroll on the Kindle.

Connectivity is easy, as you can connect over USB or WiFi (my Kindle connects to my iPhone's hotspot).
Thanks. Just to give credit where it's due, this characterization of the scientific method as being about seeking explanations of data is not my idea, it's due to Karl Popper. The best accessible exposition of Popper's position IMHO is by David Deutsch in The Fabric of Reality, chapter 7. Well worth a read.
Why would owning and renting need to have identical economic ROI? As you yourself point out, there are non-monetary benefits with both choices. The renter is buying convenience. The owner is selling convenience.

> 10ms... this about as long as PHP takes to start.

About that. Modern PHP in event loop with Swoole have response times of <1ms.

So 10ms is some legacy Apache/nginx mod_php/php-fpm number.

And even traditional php-fpm+Linux response times is around 2-5ms depending on configuration.

I've found the same. You should understand what your 10x / 100x growth solution would look like (assuming that that's relevant - obviously if you have no intent to hit that scale, don't bother). Build your system to handle your 1-1.5x, maybe 10x scale, and make sure you're not blocking the 10-100x solutions by doing so.
A theory of time is only complete without a history of clocks if you believe a theory of time can be completely physically correct, period.

Do you know of any completely physically correct theories?
I'm honestly struggling to come up with a use case for a single iPhone to need more than 300 megabytes per second (2.4Gbps) of bandwidth at any given time. (Noting that 8K video, in fairly un-optimized scenarios, appears to need about 96Mbps—just 12 megabytes per second, or 4% of that "low" bandwidth.)

What are you doing, streaming raw, uncompressed video from multiple sources to a single iPhone? If you've got that many devices you need to stream from...it seems to me that it makes sense to invest in some dedicated hardware to handle that, rather than expect to do everything with just an iPhone.
You give those immigrants legal protections.

Also you pass laws that support striking workers with UI. There are effective ways to increase the strength of the working class.

Anti trust action is another huge one.
I don't understand this. According to the article random people are identified by their social media profiles. Haven't they doxxed themselves?
The current size of the heloc (home equity line of credit) market is around 336 billion dollars.
Pools, BBQs, gyms, playgrounds, multi sports courts, party rooms, stores and restaurants.

In PHL unless you’re paying big money in a new or refurbished building in center city (and there aren’t that many) you’re out of luck.

Doesn’t help that schools also suck and are heavily segregated, which ended up forcing us to move to the suburbs into a single family home to raise our kids as we knew we wouldn’t have enough money to send them to private schools and didn’t want them on the public system there.
I find myself becoming more and more sensitive to this basic mistake: We know relativity is wrong somehow. We know quantum mechanics is wrong somehow. They're both incredibly correct with their predictions but they don't go together, so they can't both be right and in the end they both have to be wrong somehow. Two of the places where they are both clearly somehow wrong are gravity (completely missing from QM, incompatible with quantization in relativity) and time (both theories having problems with them in the extreme cases).

Therefore, grand pronouncements about how the universe is "really" a static four-dimensional object "because that's what relativity says" are just wrong, for the exact same reasons.

Perhaps even in the "not even wrong" sense, on the grounds that it is no different than taking Newtonian physics and making ground pronouncements about the nature of the universe. Newtonian physics implies things like "there can be no absolute speed limit in the universe"; not just that there isn't one, but that there can't be one for the transforms it uses to be valid. There is such a speed limit and the transforms it uses aren't valid. Declaring the universe to have this or that characteristic based on relativity is no different than declaring it must not have a speed-of-light because that's what Newtonian physics says. The only difference is that "everybody" knows the latter is wrong; the former is just as wrong.

So in general getting too worked up over what Einstein's relativity says about the universe at this level is a waste of time, no pun intended.

Science history being what it is, it is quite likely that if we ever do penetrate down to what time "really" is it'll be even more mind-blowing than a static four-dimensional universe, but that's a problem for the future. (And the current leading contenders in that theory race I'm not sure are any more disruptive than QM already was. Total chaos space/time at scales so small that they are in some sense literally microscopically microscopically microscopically microscopic may be vaguely unsettling, but to my mind doesn't seem to add anything philosophically material that QM didn't already introduce.)
most big tech companies comply with all local laws.
If more people actually owned, that's a positive.
Imagine how much worse this could have been, if the audience members were somehow completely anonymized

Edit: this is not some hot take on anonymity on the web
What hints? There were 72 different objects, and a person who allowed spectators to become active participants, how is that instigating any particular situation? People could have just idly stand by, if that's what they wanted to.
A lot of the problems would fix themselves if it was a lot harder for people to own a second home. Would make housing cheaper for one.
Ah the usual argument that good programmers never make mistakes.

The green threads research (which are those github issues I already linked to) concluded that it's not worth adding it to NET, because basically now it is too late to retrofit them into .NET, without having the issue of yet another way to color code, for little gain overall.

I also suggest watching the BUILD 2023 ASP.NET panel on the matter.
They're probably trying to tune a language model.

Yeah, just look at a random dictator. Does he really need to do more than pick up a phone to cause panic?
Price controls dont work. This is economics 101 and tested many times in the past and as of recent. All you're doing with artificially constraining price and other regulations is reducing supply in the long run. The issue bubbles and then eventually bursts.

However, the issue in congested areas is a matter of physics and people unwilling to relocate. Its not from renters simply fulfilling the pricing demand. I mean what exactly is the long term play in areas like this? Just keep stacking people on top of each other into infinity? Its obviously not realistic.
The sold also the last property from their flipping endeavours or investment portfolio? ouch.

Obsession over crisply-defined levels is a sign of an organization that is too far up its own a*** to actually get work done.

I think all economic and political systems have pros and cons. They all are subject to corruption and greed as well. The problem isn’t capitalism alone, but corruption and greed as well. We’ve reached the point where those at the top are blaming everything but their own greed for the problems the rest of the world is dealing with. Scurvy is going to make a comeback and the rich are going to blame it on laziness and a lack of hard work. History repeats itself.
How would you convince someone that they had unrestricted access to a human being to do whatever they pleased with though?

>Now I find this very convenient when I write a new small utility function I stick in in elib1_misc.erl - no mental anguish in choosing a module name is involved.

No, just the anguish of navigating 1000 non-namespaced functions for the one you need. We might not need modules, but it's good to have namespaces - and just having metadata that are not part of the name doesn't cover that aspect.
It's telling to me that there's not even a sentence in this announcement post on user privacy. It seems like as both consumers and providers of these services, we're once again: build it first, sort out thorny privacy issues later.
On the other hand, the hubris of physicists to call their trade a replacement for philosophy exposes the fatal flaw in scientism.
There are so many conversations focused solely on that word, it's tiresome. Personally, I won't participate in another "is it conscious?" debate. If both parties seek mutual understanding, they should consider not using the word.
Yeah! I can definitely recommend the Century Trilogy, too.
Yep. OOMs are the most common cause. It's definitely low frequency. On the order of one in a billion. For some systems that's once a year. For us that's once a week. If that's an important job and it just gets dropped, then you've got a problem.

With the paid features to keep it from getting dropped things still can be painful. We have a lot of different workers, all with different concurrency settings and resource limits. A memory heavy worker might need a few GB of memory and be capped at concurrency of 2 while a lightweight worker might only need 512MB and have concurrency of 20. If the big memory worker crashes, its jobs might get picked up by the lightweight worker (and possibly hours later), which will then OOM and all its 19 other in flight jobs all end up in the orphanage. And now your alerts are going off saying are saying the lightweight worker is OOMing and your team is scratching their heads because that doesn't make any sense. It just gets messy.

Sidekiq probably works great outside of containerized environment. Many swear to me they've never encountered any of these problems. And maybe we should be questioning the containerization rather than sidekiq, but ultimately our operations have been much simpler as we've moved off of sidekiq.

Most people don't have leverage or the ability to negotiate.

And even if they did, the big orgs, your FAANGM types, set the scale; you're just working within it, to some degree.

Your choice is A) 190k TCO and a commute, or B) nothing... but no commute. or C) getting the market average for whatever is going in Big City Kentucky, which is like 80k for an IT role. And they might still force you to do hybrid.

RTO is dumb, but unless you're in the elite 5% of tech workers you're accepting whatever mgmt throws at you, or else you're hoping you're lucky enough to find a remote gig that's on par -- and that's rare.
I first learned about this piece in a college art class. Reading about it again, I’m intrigued by how much of the surrounding discourse (including the artist’s own comments) talks about “audience” and “public” and “humanity” in the abstract.

It seems to me that the outcome would have been heavily dependent on _who specifically_ was in the room. In that way, the piece speaks more to the psyche of _an_ audience and _a_ public, rather than _the_.

I’m also curious what people think of the name?
