Health care costs at work set to rise steeply in 2024
I think the real problem is the fact that you can’t buy or rent in some markets without an agent.

As a buyer, I should be able to make an offer and work with the lender to schedule all the due diligence required. Some people need more help and they should be willing to pay for it.

However, the way it is structured today, I can’t make an offer without a realtor and have to pay some percentage of the value.

I was lucky in that I had an agent in the family and they charged a nominal fee.

I’ve heard about realtors being blacklisted for offering flat fee services.
To give some perspective, a chip like this from 1982 would have been designed by a very small team; maybe just 2-3 people and they were using primitive 1970s technology with no Internet access. Today you could learn how to design a chip like this in a few years, maybe faster if you just stick to logic design.
Using the ChatGPT prompt I said above, it did the permissions correctly

table.grantReadWrite(lambda function)

Just as an experiment, I’ve thrown Lambda code I’ve written from scratch into ChatGPT and asked it what permissions it needed. It got it right.

ChatGPT is well trained on everything AWS related. It can transform CloudFormation to idiomatically correct CDK or Terraform.

I hate to say this because it sounds like an appeal to authority. But I really want to set context. I used ChatGPT for projects while I was working at AWS ProServe and since I left. They were generic utility scripts with no proprietary business related code.

> Many sellers will find it advantageous to offer buyer agent compensation

so, now conspired realtors charge seller and not buyer. Still looks broken.
A very nice way to illustrate it!
I just spent a few minutes doing a comparison between Phind and GPT-4 for a very high-level question on a distributed job queue. I gave them both the same fairly vague sketch of a kind of system I would like to build. Here are my impressions:

In the positives of Phind:

* Phind was able, even eager, to recommend specific libraries relevant to the implementation. The recommendations matched my own research. GPT-4 takes some coaxing to get it to recommend libraries. Phind also provided sample code using the libraries it recommended.

* Phind provides copious relevant sources including github, stackoverflow and others. This is a major advantage, especially if you use these AI assistants as a jumping off ground for further research.

* Phind provides recommendations for follow on questions that were very good. One suggestion to the Phind team: don't remove the alternate follow on questions once I select one. A couple of times it recommended a few really good follow up questions but as soon as I selected one the others disappear.

In the positives of GPT-4:

* GPT-4 gave better answers. This is my subjective opinion (obviously) but if I was interviewing two candidates for a job position and using my question as the basis for a systems-design interview then GPT-4 was just overall better. In many cases it added context beyond my question, recommending things like logging and metrics for example. It seemed to intuit the "question behind the question" in a much better way than the literal interpretation of Phind. This is probably highly case-dependent, sometimes I just want an answer to my explicit question. But GPT-4 seemed to understand the broader context of the question and replied with that in mind leading to an overall more relevant response.

* GPT-4 handled follow-up questions better. This is similar to the previous point - but GPT-4 gave me the impression of narrowing down the scope of the discussion based on the context of my follow-up question. It seemed to "understand" the direction of the conversation in a way that felt like it was following context.

NOTE: this was not a test on coding capability (e.g. implementing algorithms) but on using these AI coding assistants as sounding boards for high-level design and architecture decisions.

Misinterpret and misuse it. Better, my a**.

I can't describe how much I HATE pages that are rendered before they are completely loaded.

I type an adress, I hit enter, and promptly I see the page content. I try to click a link or a button on the page, but guess what? Just before I click it, an image just loaded above the link. The link moved down from under the cursor, and now I click the image instead of the link. And the image IS AN AD!!!

It's like FF devs are actually TRYING to make me click ads!
The custom prompt was fun to play with! You immediately see how much better GPT got from each version n to version n+1.
Yeah, it is very high. Although, the real estate industry in the US is vastly different.

- Agents do not receive salary, benefits, etc. Their only payment is when they close a deal.
- Real Estate Agents are a dime a dozen since the licensing and training is pretty minimal. So lots of competition fighting over small supply, so it can be difficult to consistently get clients.
- Agents can pay around $100/month to their Brokerage for E&O insurance, maybe access to legal forms, and a Broker for questions/insight. So they start spending money from the get-go.
- Agents, typically, pay all expenses related to the job (advertising, signage, listing fees, etc).
This is exactly why I lag one major version behind the latest.
How do you deal with the cases where kids are neglected or indoctrinated against American society?
It’s universal as far as I know.

I worked on an email system that sent billions of emails a month. We used these messages from providers to ensure we never sent them an email again to prevent hurting our reputation. (Marking an email as spam, is by itself, a very low signal on reputation, unless some massive % of recipients mark it as spam. Sending an email to someone who has already indicated you are sending them spam is a high signal that you’re sending spam, however).

It doesn’t even matter when you do it. We had people (outliers) who would go back and hit every single email we sent them for the last 6 years as spam, after a bad customer service interaction, not getting a refund, or whatever pissed them off. We actually investigated all outliers. Most people didn’t report spam on anything older than 6 months.

I always thought the right strategy would be to have a sellers agent contract that was tiered, eg agent gets 1-2% of selling price up to average comps, and then 20% of excess selling price over that. Maybe a bonus or penalty for timing, to prevent waiting forever for a good offer.

In other words, you made my point for me. The law is much better than you at doing this, they've literally been doing it for hundreds of years. It's not the impossible task you imagine it to be.

> You can have all the "reasonable person" standards you want, but if you cannot answer what a "reasonable person" would do in a specific scenario under the law you propose, you are presumed to be punting because you know there is no "reasonable" answer.

uhhh......

To quote:

> The reasonable person standard is by no means democratic in its scope; it is, contrary to popular conception, intentionally distinct from that of the "average person," who is not necessarily guaranteed to always be reasonable.

You should read up on this idea a bit before posting further, you've made assumptions that are not true.
>The tragedy of the commons is a real sonofabitch.

The "tragedy of the commons" is a propaganda tool used to justify privatization of the commons. The commons were reasonably well-managed until a small number of people decided to extract maximum profit from them (and damn the consequences).

Florida School District Banned Cellphones. Here's What Happened
Perhaps it would help to know that I upgraded the RAM and hard drive on my 2005 Santa Rosa MBP. Really easy due to standard DDR2 SODIMMs and SATA connectors.

Did the same to my 2009 unibody, put a 500GB hybrid solid state hard drive in it and bumped the RAM first to 6GB and then to 8GB.

Not only did I bump the RAM in my 2012 unibody to 16GB—which wasn't even a build option when initially released—but replaced the DVD drive with a second 2.5" drive, ran two SSDs in RAID-0, and got 1GB/sec r/w transfer rates, which for that vintage was unheard of, especially since it started with a 240GB HDD. That one lasted me quite a while where the only real drawback from a new one was the screen resolution. I was able to upgrade the screen to a slightly higher res when I broke the screen, so at least a minor improvement there.

Then the Retinas started. Stuck on 16GB RAM on my 2015 MBP, but I loved the new screen, and I eventually replaced the stock 512GB SSD with a 1TB NVMe stick, then a 2TB NVMe stick. This is still my personal laptop, and I'm eyeing a 4TB upgrade for it now, 8 years after initial release.

Got a 2022 M1 Max for work, and it was great, but it did have a boot hiccup six months back. (SSD issues.) Got it "repaired" (really just a replacement since the whole mainboard was useless) and luckily I made regular backups, but became wary once I learned this wasn't an isolated issue and why the problem probably popped up in the first place.

Most of those laptops still work! The parts that died first almost without exception were the storage devices. The CPUs generally kept plugging along well after their usefulness had expired. Screens still light up. RAM still plugging away. The drives have clearly been the weakest link, but when storage is replaceable, we can keep the rest of the laptop out of the trash for many more years. (Assuming you keep them plugged in due to the battery being shot, but even batteries are replaceable or the laptop is usable as a desktop alternative for a loved one.)

Therefore now I'm far more reluctant to purchase a new Mac for personal use precisely because of the design issues found in recent Macs.

Sufficiently original and non-rehashed?

I don't disagree that Schenck is awful, but I still think that shouting “Fire” in a crowded theatre is unacceptable.
is that impressive? I was thinking 100 tok/s on an H100 is really slow considering LMDeploy claims 2000+ on an A100 and a large batch size.
It wasn't really all that slow in general, just slow on dedicated streaming hardware.

Basically, it was the push to 4K (and especially HDR) that caused HEVC to roll-out. In 2016 4K Blu-rays started coming out and they were all HEVC 10-bit encoded. It took a couple more years before dedicated streaming devices and lower-end smart TVs bothered to start including HEVC support as standard because at first 4K content was uncommon and the hardware came at a premium.

Now that it's mostly the de-facto standard, we see HEVC support in basically all streaming devices and smart TVs.

AV1 didn't have any sort of resolution change or video standard change to help push it out the way HEVC did, so it's basically rolling out as the parts get cheaper due to pressure from streaming giants like Google and Netflix rather than due to a bottom-up market demand for 4K support.

Yeah the killer feature here is being able to generate premium-looking game assets without any art team or funding. That's always been the tough part of creating even simple games for solo programmers. The rest is whatever.
not sure why you're getting downvoted. If realtors add more value than their commission, then great.

Realtors are a scam.

Homogenous is a pretty loaded term imo. You could have two genetically identical groups claiming they belong to different ethnicities or tribes and are thus, not homogenous. Or in the case of Japan you have two major ethnic groups, evenly disperses and so intertwined no one thinks about it, making them homogenous.

Homogenous thus in my opinion is more like a mix of homogeneity of appearance/culture. Indian people largely share the same appearance and culture, so in that regard, they are homogenous. Africans likewise. Whether some sub-groups have their own distinct appearance, or cultural practice, they are largely similar.

Linux audio is getting there, but it's a million miles away from being a feasible choice for most people in the industry. I mean, I don't think I could find a single person who would trade their MacBook for a Linux laptop when its running their entire live setup.
Attack surface matters for unknown attacks. If the browser just never gets security updates, it's got more than enough known attacks.
Agreed. Add to the fact if you're a seller agent the money is easy. A buyer's agent struggle. AFAIK usually you start out as a buyer's agent and build up a network/reputation before people trust you to sell.

In a seller's market, seems like a buyer's agent should be compensated more because it's more difficult to win bids now.
Brokers do, 1.5% from seller and buyer.

Don’t use realtors.

Sounds like someone needs to switch to fixed-price contracting for the Final Positioning and Assembly part of the job. Cost-plus for large but routine astrostructural projects is just begging for foot-draggers, expense-padders, and goldbrickers.
This doesn’t seem to be the problem here? It’s an issue of having a combinatorial number of versions to test when upgrading software and firmware.
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe this analysis is subjective, politically biased in itself, or otherwise predicated on a "narrow interpretation" of the facts. All things for which Salon is known.

Regardless, people tend not to utilize resources such as X as they do traditional format media websites such as Wikipedia. Wherein the "editorial board's" presentation of the facts are one's only option for consumption. To suggest that consumers utilize these differing formats similarly is the introduction of a false premise into an argument that, ironically, proports to wish to prosecute a source of false premises.

When looking at sources such as X, early on people tend to have multiple accounts that they look to for information. The point being to survey multiple sources of information toward ferreting out what is probably most true. Sources that are more consistent, in that, later tend to be seen as reliable. They then get more attention per their track record as experienced by readers. The viewer market of X punishes accounts that are percieved to routinely engage in lies. Even if lying accounts remain stuck in the "filter" of X.

While some lies have had the chance to rise to the top, though arguably at a lesser rate than when being laundered through MSM editorial baords, the dominant effect has obviously been to punish propaganda.

Compare this process to Wikipedia's type of engagement. Which is a site that has a bottom-barrel reputation for stubborn bias specifically in the realm of any page that deals in political topics. And within which there is no opportunity to seek out alternate takes or information sources.

That's not to say that Wikipedia doesn't get it right. But that X and wikipedia are not comparable media sources.

And that the individualized trust process for readers is more important in 2023. Than it is to validate with engagement more traditional formats that have to thread the needle of their no-option propaganda, in order to point to whatever it is that you are supposed to be happy about them being truthful over for a single cherry picked topic or even one peice of information.
That's very nearly the only kind of thing happening that is among their grievances.

Most of their issues boil down to "someone else won't promote a thing I want them to" or "someone else said a thing (about a thing another someone said) that I don't like".

I'm sensitive to the notion that megacorps have positioned themselves as a replacement for the commons, but to address the issues these folks have without making some really weird speech-policy moves, we'd need to take those same platforms out of the "promoting" game entirely, which would both kill those platforms (no complaints here, let's do it) and make them uninteresting to the people signing declarations like this. Otherwise, we're doing the equivalent of saying "it's not enough that I can hand out home-printed fliers of my op-ed on the street corner—nobody takes them! The NYT must be both compelled to publish them and prohibited from expressing their belief that these are a bunch of nonsense!"

I don't think Facebook, Twitter, Google, et c. should be taking on the role of editors, publishers, and promoters without the usual amount of responsibility, but as long as we're allowing that, I don't think it makes sense to force them to promote or publish everything or to editorially frame everything a certain way, which is exactly what these folks want.

This seems like a very disingenuous interpretation of the verdict by avoiding "what it said" and then telling us what will actually happen (as though you can predict) or what's wrong with it. If I were a realtor what is wrong with it is it could threaten my fat commissions.

Annoying base configuration for those of us here, but it’s probably fine for people who just browse social media and email and youtube as their whole experience. At least they can go higher, though probably at usurious prices (haven’t checked) and sadly not above 24 GB. Again, fine range (price aside) for their target audience.
I gave it two tries, GPT-4 was much better in both cases. Tried with two Leetcode questions. It came back with an empty response for one, and provided a worse code (O(n2) solutions when it can be done with linear time) for the other one.

GPT-4 on the other hand provided a good answer for both questions. Also I guess the UI is buggy w.r.t code formatting, it things the following line is a code and switches to a code block.

```
You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.
```

The only downside for GPT-4 for me right now, is its slowness.
