No i did not have reservations about safety of the injections, i trust clinical studies. People who don't trust double blind, placebo controlled studies simply have a fundamental trust problem because well, if you don't trust those, it's really hard to trust anything at all.

I didn't think vaccines were actually necessary or would help at all because i expected the virus to spread anyway which it did, and i didn't have any specific health issues to make me afraid of the virus (and i was wrong on this, a perfectly healthy guy just a bit older than me who i knew, refused vaccine, got to intensive care with covid, and nearly died). So maybe i dodged a bullet idk.

But in any case, political considerations were main reasons why i took the vaccine - by that point, i was pretty much infuriated with hard-right propaganda and hard-right opinions prevailing everywhere around me.

>Why is it do you think that “political markers” have come to take such precedence for some people?

Because of the culture war. It's a bitch and you have to take part even if you hate the idea. Too many things people on the other end of the spectrum do, repel you too much and you need to distance yourself from them as much as possible - and they usually do it exactly for that purpose. I bet conservatives feel the same about us; it's just that - culture war.

Maybe splitting into two nearly non-intersecting societies, like they had in Netherlands (they had three! google "Pillarisation") is a good thing. They avoided strife simply by having parallel structures - schools, churches, hospitals, theatres, labour unions, and of course political parties - for each, and almost did not communicate with people outside of their group, ignoring each other. Even during WWII Resistance against Nazi occupation was pillarised - separate groups fought against Nazis while ignoring each other. They won't admit it, but pillarisation ended simply because one of the groups - social-democrats - eventually won.
> Today the factory has been replaced by the mega-corporation, and the "workers" are now smaller businesses and private entrepreneurs or individual producers.

Those factories were owned by companies. I don't think things have really changed.

> Historically this situation has been solved by imposing limits to the freedom of factory owners and allowing workers to unionize, to restore a balance of power between the capitalists and the masses of workers. This has not been done yet with the new internet economy.

In more recent history, the trend has been to reduce those limits, and generally remove whatever leverage labour has. Saying "it has not been done yet" seriously understates it.
> However LLMs are the real deal

Weird thing is it was designed to model language. It’s surprising that it returns sound answers as often as it does. But that’s also kind of the problem, it’s “surprising”, i.e. we don’t really know what happened.

You wouldn’t fly on a jetliner that’s “surprising it flies without disintegrating midair”.

It counts the cost of rent.

If you buy a house for far more than the value of rent, you are making a speculative investment.

Rent is half my mortgage for an equivalent house. It wouldn't be realistic to call my mortgage the cost of shelter.
CSS resets wouldn't be necessary if browser default styles weren't awful, but here we are. The default browser styling is the worst of all worlds: not enough to make an unstyled page look good (partly the result of the terrible text size inflation trend, which is a whole other rant), but enough to get in the way for a page that's been deliberately styled.
Wow, corba wrapper around an OLE/COM embedded object. Actually pretty cool.
This is an interesting find. Thanks for sharing. Here are my notes on the video:

What is (geotechnical) engineering judgement?

* Having a sense of proportion

* Solving the right problem

* Deciding reasonable criteria

Where does engineering judgement come from?

* Know the precedent: What has worked in the past? What has not worked in the past?

* Know the theory: Precedent will always be tested. How do you know if you're going to far?

How do you cultivate this engineering judgement?

* Choose a variety of work to apply your efforts: You might need a variety of jobs

* Keep a notebook: Keep a record of what you see. The power of observation is greatly improved by attempting to reconstruct what you saw

Verifying the fingerprint out-of-band is the opposite of TOFU. TOFU is generally understood to mean not verifying it, but flagging if it changes later.

2.) Why can 10 y.o. me know how to progress in the game without taking countless hours?

4.) Is there any correlation between the A.I. used here and the one used by Deep Blue in Chess?

Tech is the exception that proves the rule, rather, advancing so fast that the concomitant price deflation outpaced inflation seen in other sectors.

There's an interesting chart that shows how inflation has been distributed very unequally in the economy over the last 20 years. Things like healthcare and housing where the supply is legally/artificially constrained (thus preventing natural price deflation) have seen the biggest increases.

yeah, people are being forced to buy features or addons, which adds to the cost. this is another way to pass on inflation to the consumer marketed as a 'good deal', when it isn't. instead of an economical small car, you have to buy a bigger car which gets worse mileage and full of unwanted stuff.
I have yet to try it IRL, but I’ve always wondered if having a single hyper-scaled worker pool against a single queue would be best suited for a typical web app Do Things Async layer. Add a job timeout so that a single rogue process can’t saturate workers… okay and now add a long_jobs queue for the things that need to run longer… and one more for these other things that need to run longer than that… and… shit.

Watching the 3D modelling part of the video, it looks like some of the Adobe designers were very familiar with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE.

Adobe Neo's modelling looks like a direct copy, and not just "rough copy" either.

Selection modes, handle styles, functionality... it's a direct copy.

Possibly unfortunately for Adobe, Dassault Systèmes has a reputation of being extremely gung-ho with their litigation.

They're not a small company that can be pushed around easily either:

That's a completely nonsensical reply to the contents of my comment. I'm not the same person you were originally responding to up-thread.

And even Friedman recanted this view in an interview: (Financial Times (UK), June 7, 2003):

During the 1980s, the heyday of right-leaning economic thought, not even Reagan and Thatcher (or Volcker) bothered with money supply during in the high-inflation days: see the book Samuelson Friedman: the battle over the free market by Wapshott for a good history.

How does that square with the US largely energy independent now? With Shale, the US is far less reliant on foreign oil (ala energy).
Infected + vaccinated had much better resistance than those who were only infected, so that's not really following the science.
Depends what "operating system" means. I'd say things like democracy, marketing/journalism/propaganda, etc are operating systems of some sort, in that they perform orchestration of humans, modify reality, etc. Lack of memory is a big handicap for LLM's if they want to play in that league.
> Also: inflation is NOT fundamentally about price changes. Inflation is purely the result of arbitrary expansion of government fiat money supply.

What's more important is what the money is doing; having just a pile of money tells you nothing. Cullen Roche has a good explanation:

> But also – why do so many people insist that inflation is an increase in the money supply? This makes zero sense. Here’s why – our economy is mostly a credit based economy. So, if I take out a loan for $100,000 then the money supply has technically increased by $100,000. But what if I don’t actually tap that loan? What if I borrow the money because, for instance, house prices just went up 25% and I want to have some cash around for emergencies? This doesn’t tell us anything about prices, living standards or really anything. But this is what so much of the money supply represents – money that has been issued and is just sitting around unused. Why is this useful? It’s like calculating your weight changes by counting how much food you have in your refrigerator. No. That’s potential calories consumed and potential weight gain. The amount of food in your fridge tells you little about your future weight changes just like the amount of money in the economy tells us little about the actual price changes in the economy.

Those who use non-streaming music libraries… how do you do music discovery? I listen to a large variety of music and I love that I can get pretty much anything I desire within a few seconds on Spotify. Listening to new music would be harder if I have to commit to buying the songs first.

This sort of stuff (and a lot of other popular things) highlights something that I've felt for years: we are still so far away from a good ops story as an industry.

Why would someone use this? Because they only want to deal with "one thing" in production. Dealing with multiple stacks is annoying. People show stuff like kubernetes as a way to handle multiple stacks. That stuff is also complicated.

There is still a huge opportunity for a methodology (accessible to non-operators) to get systems in production easily, where we wouldn't feel the need to force it all into these kinds of models.

Having said all of that, this is pretty fun looking!

Feds would be unlikely to prosecute this. It all occured in FL, Uber likely had a Florida Nexus. Then it's a dicey case. It seems like clear fraud but the platform obviously allows users to cancel the order and instructs the buyer most likely to discard or donate the purchase. The buying of gift cards is the element that evidences fraud but Federal prosecutors don't really take chances on minor crimes if they can't get a plea or be 99% sure of a conviction they won't pursue.

If these guys had been smart though, they would have just dealt with the meat man. The meat man is who people with extra food stamps sell to in order to get cash. They go buy meat from the store and he buys it at a discount. When you see videos of people shoplifting like 30lbs of meat it's not because they are about to have a BBQ they are going to sell it to the meat man. He will in turn supply all the people who set up their grills in gas stations and sell plates.

I'm sure the meat man could work it out to have all his regulars place real grocery orders and then cancel them that an Uber buyer picks up and then sells to him.
