Brings back memories for me. I used to work on particle physics experiments.

The "science groupies" would be amazed at what happens behind the scenes. There were a couple of deliberately broken vacuum cleaner parts that happened to play a surprisingly important role in certain neutrino parameter measurements....
What is the definition of invalidated? I am assuming your machine is still capable at doing what it did 3 months ago.
I think some gatekeeping is warranted. If I stitch a wound it doesn’t suddenly mean I’m a doctor.

Similarly, using AI to develop a game makes you as much of a game developer as someone who hires someone to make a game for them. And some development studios are basically that, people hiring developers to make games. But AI can’t compete well with that.

It’s like coming up with a new fusion power plant, but it takes more energy to run than what it produces. Inspiring, but useless.
You can ask to see the other offer if the escalation clause is triggered. It technically has to be "bona fide"
I'm pretty sure they're not fake.

Penn has clarified what he means by "dangerous." I don't have a source for this, so take my memory and my word for what it is worth, but their definition of "dangerous" is something that could result in an overnight hospital visit. Cutting yourself is ok, even a stunt gone wrong that breaks a (non-serious) bone. But anything potentially serious they would consider to be unethical.

The other reason I don't think that the glass is "fake" is that Penn began his career in entertainment as a juggler. He also eats fire. Juggling knives, fire torches, glass etc. comes with some risk but not serious risk. The worst of all of the above is potentially fire eating and that's only if you accidentally inhale and burn your lungs with hot vapour, which can be serious but avoiding that is everyone's very first lesson. Juggling glass could result in a cut, even one that could potentially require stitches. But it's not a serious injury.
All education is intertwined with indoctrination. At least religious indoctrination is a known quantity, unlike other less self-aware forms.
1. I was being a little facetious.
2. It is absolutely weird to speak for all neurodiverse people in such sweeping ways. I've been involved in the physical sciences most of my adult life and I can tell you I've met plenty of ND people who are also highly competitive and judgemental. Even those these are considered negative traits, you do a disservice to a a huge variety of people by claiming that they are all the same. Its the opposite of acknowledging their diversity.
The question ”what kind of person should I be?” could be answered by god, I guess, but the alternative would be to answer it yourself, and/or consult society, possibly friends and family. Not "anything goes".

Putting it in the hands of god means anything goes, and you just say that's how you thought god wanted you to be. You'd have to trust that society encoded the proper set of values and morals into the religion. Which sounds like "ask society" but with extra steps, and also you're asking the society of 1,000+ years ago instead of the society of today.
Because sometimes you make assumptions that are seemingly correct but eventually found to be wrong or based on flawed inputs from sources beyond your control.

Any system that ultimately relies on "engineers need to always do the right thing" is a flawed, brittle, ineffectual system. Because even the best engineers will make a mistake somewhere, and because you can't exclusively hire "the best" engineers.

Let's spend our time figuring out how to recover from mistakes rather than trying to pretend they'll never happen.
> indoctrination is a given.

Indoctrination is not a given and should never be acceptable in education.

What is indoctrination? Here's one dictionary definition:

indoctrination: the process of repeating an idea or belief to someone until they accept it without criticism or question

Note "accept it without criticism or question". This is the polar opposite of what education should be, which is to encourage investigation, researching topics with a scientific method instead of believing without question.
My wife resents that her parents made her be this for the other kids in her class. This meant my wife had to do things like be the one to 'tame' the poorly behaved boy. Or she had to be the one to do extra work because the teacher would group her with the worst student. This is actually not preparation for adulthood. As an adult, when someone acts like a jerk, you ignore them and shun them and may report them depending on how bad it is. As a child, you're forced to interact. As an adult, I choose my colleagues so that they're intelligent and pull their weight.

A common complaint I hear from homeschooled kids is 'parentification', where their parents expect adult responsibility from small children. I fail to see how what you're asking for is any different. Children shouldn't be expected to do adult's jobs.
Wow they really simplified the front end
The strategy that works best for me is to just start at the simplest step & iterate from there. Do research online to find blog posts / articles describing how to solve specific problems. When doing reading, make sure to note terms of art that repeat so that you know what to look for.

So the first step I would do to start on a TCP/IP stack would be "how to open a raw socket" (granted you have to know the magic phrase here). There's also tons of "how to implement TCP stack" articles (same for ethernet etc) that probably are good starting points if I didn't know that magic phrase. The other thing is to find people to talk to who know more than you to answer those questions.

Once you have that, you can setup a real TCP socket on one end and a raw socket client on the other & then the same thing in reverse. Then look up the TCP/IP framing on Wikipedia (+ read up on the broad overview of how TCP works and the various parts). Once you have the framing implemented, try implementing the basic sequence to establish a connection. Then keep noting what features a full TCP stack has, which are required, & which are missing from my implementation (that's when I'd start reaching for the standards that everyone references).

Of course, if you want to do something novel beyond just "hey I have confidence that I can implement such a stack myself" (e.g implementing something with certain performance characteristics) that requires a deeper understanding of how things work and a good filter on possible ideas & which ones are going to likely work out the best (that is gained through expertise, creativity & intelligence)
It was 6% when I bought, but I can tell you that my ex put our realtor through hell during the process - same questions over and over, daily phone calls for status updates once under contract, etc. I would have felt bad, but I knew how much she stood to make, so I didn't say anything and just let it all happen. I feel she earned it, lol.
Yes, but that is not how it is used today. Today it is used primary by wealthy heavily invested families.
> That won't be necessary. Someone will give them internet access, a large bank account, and everything that's ever been written about computer network exploitation, military strategy, etc.

Even if you give it all of these things, there's no manual for how to use those to get to, for example, military servers with secret information. It could certainly figure out ways to try to break into those, but it's working with incomplete information - it doesn't know exactly what the military is doing to prevent people from getting in. It ultimately has to try something, and as soon as it does that, it's potentially exposing itself to detection, and once it's been detected the military can react.

That's the issue with all of these self-improvement -> doom scenarios. Even if the AI has all publicly-available and some privately-available information, with any hacking attempt it's still going to be playing a game of incomplete information, both in terms of what defenses its adversary has and how its adversary will react if it's detected. Even if you're a supergenius with an enormous amount of information, that doesn't magically give you the ability to break into anything undetected. A huge bank account doesn't really make that much of a difference either - China's got that but still hasn't managed to do serious damage to US infrastructure or our military via cyber warfare.
buying a house, I would want an attorney - selling the house, I agree, no need for a realtor or attorney if you are willing to do a bit of work yourself.
I think this is unimaginative. More than likely, eventually the US will join most of the world in having no buyer's agents and low seller's agent commissions.
> I bought a few years back and we didn't really use an agent to find the house at all. Looking into it, I found that a certain percentage of the sale amount goes to pay the agent(s); 6% I think. If there are two agents, they each get half. If one person doesn't use an agent... the other person's agent gets it all. The person without an agent doesn't get to keep their half... it just all goes to the other agent. Wtf...

In hot markets this is a way people often get an advantage as a buyer: tell the selling agent you want to use them as your agent too, so they get the whole 6% if the seller picks your offer. So if the bids end up being close, the agent ends up lobbying for you (or lobbying you to make your offer closer).

Some selling agents refuse to do this because it's pretty shady, but definitely not all.

I've also heard of similar things including negotiating down the selling agent's cut as part of it but haven't seen as much of that firsthand.
> People have never bought Apple because of the hardware

Hardware was the primary reason for me buying an M2 MBP. I've been primarily a Linux user for years, but I bought a MBP after my ThinkPad T14s just died and became completely unresponsive in the middle of a work day. The screen is gorgeous, the trackpad is great, the keyboard is decent, but the battery life is incredible. My ThinkPad was advertised to have a 12 hour battery life, but I'd be lucky to get 8. I can go nearly two days without charging my MBP.

I don't love macOS though. I had to install several third party apps to get basics like window snapping and a middle click, but I'm mostly okay since I just swap between Emacs and Chrome. Once Asahi gets DP over USB-C support though, I'll probably switch.
- The vast majority of art created is done by people who don't have a full-time job creating art. So why does art have to pay the rent?

- Lots of art still does pay the rent in ways that aren't threatened by AI. I haven't seen any convincing arguments that AI will be the death of commercial art, but moreso a new tool used by many commercial artists.

- Business models change. There have been countless industries and skillsets that have been made obsolete by various technological innovations that have automated what previously required skilled workers to do. Society adapts. Why should we make this particular technological progress illegal, just so we can freeze a particular business model in time? We don't do that with other professions. Why can't artists adapt and find new ways to make money?

- Similarly, why do methods of getting famous for art, or being motivated for art, need to stay consistent and unchanged over time? Why can't artists figure out new ways to get famous or get motivated? Why should we freeze or outlaw technology just so artists don't have to change from what's always worked?

- Copyright violation is not theft. Theft is when you take a rivalrous good from someone else who owns it. If you grow an apple, and I take it, that is theft, and it's wrong because you no longer have that apple. Copyright violation is not theft. If you draw a picture, and I copy it, that picture has not been stolen, and you have not been deprived of it. This is a crime very different than theft, and the laws behind it are very different than the laws behind theft, as is the reasoning behind those laws. So it would behoove you to stop equating it to theft.
Pixels may also be an option -- though Librem 5 is, in this context, better.

Pixels Pro have now... 7 or 8 years support.
My favorite version of talking about this sort of stuff was from a company that acquired the startup I was at.

"We retain 90% of our top 10% of talent".

Riiiiight.
This is just my understanding, but here goes:

1) If your bid wins then you're on the hook to buy the house. Part of the offer your make includes "earnest money" which is that deposit you're talking about (which you forfeit if you don't actually buy the house). The seller sees all the offers so presumably you putting down $500 earnest money on a $300K house would look suspicious enough to get you ignored by the buyer.

2) However, you've got a bigger issue: it's a secret auction. You put in your bid/offer, and so does everyone else, but _nobody_knows_about_anyone_else's_bid_. Heck, you don't even know how many other people are bidding. You _may_ be able to ask your realtor to nicely ask the seller's realtor for a general description of how hot the listing is (which works in the realtors' favor - the hotter the listing, the more you'll anticipate needing to bid), but beyond that you don't know about the other bids. And you for sure don't know about the specific, bogus bid that the realtor's friend put in to influence all the people that don't know about the bogus bid :)

I might be wrong (realtor's friend puts in a bogus bid so the seller's realtor can lie and say the listing is hot, after your realtor asks them about it), but I don't think this is a strategy that will work in general.

mind providing some of the prompts you use to question them?
I guess you aren't familiar with this having been the system in most markets for decades?

Hi there! I'm glad you're genuinely fascinated! Deciphering the meaning of words used by commoners can be totes challenging!

I too enjoy learning things outside my main areas of interest, sometimes even conversing with people who exist outside the monoculture of my university program. I find there's a lot of misinformation/pathos around these beautiful people and their diverse cultures.

Instead of using every word literally, they rely on a series of adaptive techniques (or "linguistic crutches", as I like to call them). They're just like the similes or metaphors we all learned about in English Composition I and II, but theirs don't always capture the depth, breadth, and/or nuance of a topic like ours do. Sometimes they speak in generalities or fail to support their comments with peer-reviewed meta-analyses. Nevertheless, they still seem to understand each other! It's truly very fascinating!

Despite not knowing how words work or what Science is, it's a longstanding cultural practice of theirs to make unlicensed casual, general observations about their lived experience and the world they live in. They're known to do it in bars, in line at the gas station, in newspapers, comment sections on the internet, and even over the telephone!

Sometimes, PhD students mistake these for formal theses and miss the point entirely. Other times, people who think they look smart ask them patronizing, bad-faith questions.

In this case, the user is likely not saying that the text fails to encode meaningful information or is especially difficult to understand. Instead, this is a commonly-employed polite term for "banal bullshit".

Put another way, they're likely expressing their opinion that this class of content is frequently superficial, lacks criticality, contributes minimally to the advancement of knowledge, and offers limited utility or actionable insight for broader discourse or practical application, as if the authors just wanted an excuse to use a new word or phrase they've just learned, whether to drive revenue, to prove to their peers that they're a Good Person, or some secret third thing.
That doesn't help. The seller does not save money unless BOTH buyer and seller have no real estate agent.

If the buyers have a real estate agent and the seller does not, the seller pays the buyer's real estate agent double their usual payment - at least in the 3 states where I've sold properties.
Indeed. It wasn't the manufacturers who rushed to implement the codec. It's Google strong arming them.
It is interesting to watch. Especially as an arch in "my life with technology", this time around I'm a bystander watching what people can do with it and it is impressive. My tinkering as not been as fruitful. I feel like my grandparents that never caught on to Google-fu but, just like my grandparents, I'm ok with it.
> garlic aioli

Is there any other type of aioli?

My understanding is the only controversial part, source if the "real aioli" great schism, is egg yolk.
Same. It's all very standardized and the title/escrow company does it 10 times a day and will handle all the paperwork and filings.
That's not really true; the motion estimation stage is highly parallel. Intel's wavefront-parallel GPU motion estimation was really cool. Real world compression algorithms are nowhere close to optimal partly because it's worth trading off a little compression ratio to make the algorithm parallel.
Good news then :) Everything stays on your network. Actually, in most situations - everything stays completely client-side. Because the rules that the client executes are Wasm modules, all data inspections and transformations occur in the client itself.

There is a server component (that you host) - but it is only used for pushing rules/Wasm down to the SDKs and for facilitating tail - that's it.
I mean yes, it's sort of tautological that if you are trying to sell a home in a place very few people want to live, it might be (but isn't by definition!) harder to sell than someplace where a lot of people want to live.
I was being a bit facetious. You are right, of course. Fundamentally, I don't see people as abled or disabled anyway. Those labels are contextual, clearly. But look, I've been a weirdo my whole life, allow me a brief moment of superior feeling.
Wait, can't you use this to develop chemical weapons? Where's your 20-person government-mandated safety team?
Fair use by a machine is a concept which has hardly been studied by legislators. Personally I'd draw the line at the human/machine boundary.
Yea, it’s fucked. As a buyer, I had an agent for a while, thinking that since the same commission is coming out from the seller’s side anyway, it can’t hurt. Wrong. I kept having my offers turned down without any good reasons, getting slow walked on offers that were for the seller’s full asking price, etc, until I dropped the buyer’s agent and just went directly to the seller’s agent and it was amazing how fast the offer was accepted.
> Texas is working on an amendment that ostensibly cuts taxes on child care facilities to make them more affordable. It's very easy to tell that those savings won't be passed on to consumers. In reality, it's very much more a pro-homeschooling thing. "Homeschool your kids and save on your property taxes".

A 'childcare facility' typically refers to something kids go to before school. I've noticed several other commenters make the claim that those who are not using daycare facilities for their non-school-age children (i.e., the norm up until the late 90s) is a form of 'homeschooling'.

It's not. Raising your young non-school-aged children at home is the normal way people have raised their children

I have no opinion on Texas's law, but it doesn't sound like it's about homeschooling
When we bought, the seller's agent apparently spent a good chunk of her fee on little scent dispensers. We were finding those things tucked behind cabinets for months.
So go for it! If you believe you have the ability to market your house successfully, then by all means do so. As a realtor, if I had a house in a market where I don't do business, there is absolutely no bloody way I would try to sell my own home.
They have. They literally threatened to pull their support from devices if they don't implement the codec in hardware. Roku's spat with Google was a big-ish story when that happened.

I don't know how that can be viewed as a good thing.
You will likely still need to offer a buying agent commission if you want buying agents to show the house. Still, that cuts the fee roughly in half.

At least some selling agents do a lot more than data entry. They generally pay for photos, staging, and landscaping while the house is on the market. They also research similar houses to position the property in the market and talk to buying agents. A lot of the negotiation can happen before the offer.

You can do most if not all of that yourself and you may do a better job than the real estate agent you would have hired. Doing a good job is a fair amount of work. Most real estate agents cost the same amount, so there generally isn't a price different between a good and a bad agent (unless you count the commission on a higher sale price). If you can find a good one, it is likely worth the cost. A bad one might even decrease your sale price though.

Do you think you can do a better job selling your own house than you can do at hiring a real estate agent?
“Theoretically” only in the sense that most people won’t do it (since the data isn’t easily available, and you’d need to figure out who you were benchmarking against before requesting it), so the practical effect may be negligible.

“Tesla denied liability, saying Lee consumed alcohol before getting behind the wheel.”

Assuming this is true, the decision seems fair.
I’ve never been involved with residential real estate in the US, so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious.

Why will it be a higher cost to buyers? At the macro level, aren’t the transaction costs effectively priced in? Is the idea that the home has some absolute value that exists independently of the cost structure of the market it trades in (so the buyer paying commission directly is doing so “on top of” this amount as it’s valued under the status quo)?

Is it mainly a question of categorizing the commission as “a cost” rather than “hidden in the seller’s asking price therefore part of the value of the home”?

Otherwise, why wouldn’t the buyer who now says “I have $100,000, so I’ll buy a $100,000 house” instead say “I have $100,000, and I know my agent is going to charge me around $3,000, so I’ve got to buy a $97,000 house instead”? If that becomes the new norm, wouldn’t all sellers find that people who could buy at $100,000 before can only buy at $97,000 now, and have to price their homes accordingly, making it a wash?

If it were me, I feel like I’d want to hire my agent at a flat rate if I could, to reward them for finding me a better deal rather than incentivize them to make more by selling me more. But then again maybe that’s part of the higher cost to buyers that you mention: maybe there’s no question that buyers’ agents will be able to squeeze the buyers for more commission directly than they presently get out of the sellers?

Default state for most human history was that only small minority of people can read and write. It also meant that majority of people have no say in public affairs.
