I think it's better than nothing, but probably not equivalent to something like scent training. The way my dog breaths when searching for a scent is really pretty crazy. Imagine trying to inhale sharply twice a second. Just performing the physical act is tiring for me.

If you haven't tried scent training, I highly recommend it. There's plenty of information online about it and it's really simple. You can even take a dog treat, put it in front of your dog, and say "find it." Keep moving the treat back until you get it out of sight. Then move on to hiding it in the couch, etc. My dog can find a tiny, 1 cm square of rubber in a huge grassy field. It's impressive.

This is absolutely true. I invested a tiny amount in the SPAC that became Lucid Motors. Imagine my surprise when the official investor docs disclosed (in a very obtuse way) that the actual owner and controller of the company is MBS, the King of Saudia Arabia!

People like me who bought in are just suckers for a company over which we have no control.

Housing is significantly more affordable outside inner city suburbs.

And of course everyone wants to live close to their social circle. I want to live in a mansion by the beach.

But sometimes in life you have to make compromises especially when you're young and that includes working your way up the property ladder.
Here are the numbers by age of a victim:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2023/11/1/know-their...

133 babies below the age of one
482 toddlers (1-3 years old)
344 preschoolers (4-5 years old)
1,042 primary school children (6-12 years old)

Numbers are for 7th-25th October. So ~2 thousands <=12 years of age already more than a month ago.
Cities have jobs. Cities have opportunity. Cities have diversity. Why should we expect, encourage, or even desire that young people sacrifice economic and social opportunity and mobility?

Why is the response to high housing cost in cities lecturing "current generations" about their choices? There are glaringly obvious problems in many of our cities that make housing so expensive. Is it so outrageous to try to solve those problems, and allow people to be able to live where they want to live?
no foreign transaction fees

In an FX transaction, what is the difference between a trading fee and a wider spread? Nothing. (Why do people keep falling for this?)

What you really want to see is a combined promise. For example: No fees, plus 1% or less FX spread on major currencies. (My preferred credit card promises that.)

Honestly, it is very hard to pay a total of less than 1% on foreign transactions. Still, this is pretty cheap, given the convenience.

Apple ending relationship with Goldman Sachs
That’s a great advice. I happened to learn that naturally and I’m thankful I did. Proclaiming things also creates expectations from others and people generally tend to be prone to fulfill those outside expectations. This effect seems to be particularly magnified by social media, where everyone assume a certain persona online. Seems to be at the root of bigotry, too. How can you change your mind if your entire networking is made up of people who confirms the biases you’ve been preaching for the longest time? There’s a great line of dialogue from the movie Millennium, where Daniel Craig’s character breaks into the house of the killer, only for him to show up at the next minute. Craig tries to escape but the villain notices him. They both know what the other is up to. But the killer is smart, and he pretends he doesn’t. So he invites Craig to come inside, and he accepts it. Later, when Craig is subdued by the killer, tied up and about to be killed, the villain reminds him of how stupid he was to have accepted the invitation, noting how this is a trait common to people, who go to great lengths to avoid letting others down, and that, in this specific scenario, Craig did exactly that even though he knew the danger, just so he would not pass for a dismissive character, just to maintain his status as a nice person. And even though I know that, I still find myself falling for that trap from time to time. It’s so hard to be true to yourself when we are social beings, ultimately dependent on others in various ways, for various reasons. Being true and truthful is so scary, as you risk burning so many bridges, but we hardly consider that by being true we may end up building other, better bridges, more aligned with who we are, or at least ought to be. Attachment is enemy with progress, Charlie certainly knew that. Rest In Peace.
The best sci-fi and fantasy ones for me have focused on describing the setting and then a very broad summary of the first few chapters. Typically little-to-nothing about the overall plot (just what would happen in those chapters), let alone the middle or ending.

3D CGI has gotten faster, but I haven’t seen any qualitative jump for quite some time.

IMO the last time a major tech advance was visible was Davy Jones on the Pirates films. That was a fully photorealistic animated character that was plausible as a hero character in a major feature. That was a breakthrough. After that a lot of refinement and speeding up.

This is different. I have some positivity about it, but it’s getting hard to keep track of everything that’s going on tbh. Every week it’s a new application and every few months it’s some quantum leap.

Like others said, Midjourney and DallE are essentially photorealistic.

It seems to me that the next step is generative AI creating better and better assets.

And then of course you have video generation which is happening as well…

I think reviews can be really useful when they're at the extreme of either end of the scale. Books with a positive blurb from an author I like can sway me, even though I'm sure they're paid for that and don't always read what they recommend.

I use reviews all the time for movies. I also don't put much faith in individual critics, but when the overall consensus of critics and internet randos suggests that a movie is terrible, it's probably terrible.

Negative movie reviews are more helpful than positive ones. A bad film might get overwhelmingly good reviews because it's got some political value or is considered "important".

Reviews for kid's movies are generally pretty honest when they're terrible, but some reviewers will inflate the scores based on how much they think it will appeal to kids so the middle ground in that genre is risky.

Good horror and sci-fi movies routinely get bad reviews from people who are just put off by the genre, so when horror or sci-fi films get wide acclaim they're probably worth checking out (although again, politics can throw this off).
Ah, I see you've never kept pet rats.

There is heaps and gobs of money in treating these guys. They only live a few years and are as personable as dogs. People regularly pay crazy amounts of money for intensive surgeries to take out tumors and fix their varying other ailments.

If someone managed to extend rat lifespans by even a year or two, there'd be a line of people at their door just begging to throw money at them. You'd think rat owners would be more blasé about death, but it couldn't be further from the truth.

Really though, for most illnesses they just get human drugs on a much smaller scale. My vet prescribes metacam when they're very sick, which is also what I got after my last surgery. They get the same antibiotics I've taken previously. Apart from the parasite drugs, I don't think my rats have ever been prescribed something I haven't taken before.

After all, there is a reason we use rats to model drugs in humans

Nope, they moved where the jobs were, same as the current generation. The difference is that back in the old days it was legal to build new housing rather than the ponzi scheme house price system that the older generation has voted for.

But why do cities have all the opportunity? Most likely because the capital owning class lives in cities and has been systematically draining wealth from more rural areas via globalization and the erosion of workers' rights. I'm not saying young professionals need to concern themselves with such lofty ideals, but I do think it's a valid to question why there are only a few pockets of opportunity left in the country.

I've faced plenty of abuse in various sectors. A "cost of living surcharge" is purely on the owners and is an absolutely insane scapegoat to trick people into paying higher than the menu price, which ought to be illegal.

It's EITHER part of the food price, or it is not. Surcharges like that are still part of the price of food/service and that has never changed. What has changed is making people feel guilty because they are a nuisance to the restaurant or whatever s**hole establishment or imbecilic manager/corporate PR idiot decided it made them look better than paying employees crap wages and making consumers feel guilty into enforced "tipping" to make up for it. It's the same for parties of 8 or more policy in many restaurants that require mandatory tipping fees. It's all terrible, all unacceptable. I'll agree that it's part of how restaurants are trying to survive, but it ought to be illegal. If I want to eat somewhere with a group of people or just myself, a cost of living surcharge is part of the meal, but not included in the menu price. That's illegal, or at least ought to be.

The reason AI generative tools are faster to become useful in artistic areas is that in the arts you can take “errors” as style.

Doesn’t apply too much to mesh generation but was certainly the case in image gen. Mistakes that wouldn’t fly for a human artist (hands) were just accepted as part of AIgen.

So these areas are much less strict about precision than coding. Making these tools much more capable are replacing artists in some tasks than CoPilot is for coders atm.

> Canada and Australia are both facing a housing crisis, and that's mostly due to the fact that the country is huge, but the actually livable parts of the country are fairly small.

I can’t speak for Canada, but in the case of Australia - there are heaps of small towns in Australia with affordable housing, it is just few people want to live in them. The median house price in Hay, NSW, is only AU$237K (US$157K). Hay is “liveable” - its climate is mild (mean min is 10 deg C, mean max is 24.3 deg C, 368.3 mm annual rainfall). It is on a major river. But, who wants to live in a town of 2500 people which is 5 hours drive from the nearest major city?
Probably because it’s fun.
Comparing living near jobs and quality schools to living by a mansion on the beach is quite unfair - people don't solely desire the luxury of cities, they desire the opportunity for themselves and their families.

"Working your way up the property ladder"? The median sale price for a house in Westchester County, NY is seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. With insurance and property taxes and the current interest rate, that's over six grand a month. That's a hair shy of the US median household income (before taxes!). How exactly is a person ever supposed to afford that?
Open AI has a pretty robust and profitable business without Microsoft. In every enterprise I’ve been involved with over the last few years we have had some incredibly material and important use cases of OpenAI LLMs (as well as Claude). They aren’t spewing slop or whatever, they’re genuinely achieving valuable and foundational business outcomes. I’ve been a bit stunned at how fast we’ve achieved these things and it tells me that the AI hype isn’t hype, and that if we have done these things in a year, it’s hard to estimate how much impact the technologies will have in five but I think it’s substantial. So is our spend with OpenAI. Or rather, with Azure on OpenAI products. The only value from our experiences Microsoft offers is IAM - which is sufficient frankly.

Stability and Midjourney are also making money, but it’s largely with amateurs and people prototyping content for their own creations. A lot of single person Indy game developers are using these tools to generate assets, or at minimum first pass assets. I think a lot of media companies are producing the art for their articles or news letters etc using these tools. Whether this is enough, I don’t know.
For some data there are multiples discordant sources, or critics directed to the unique source. Selecting (and therefore neglecting some) isn't neutral either. A real (non-disputable) consensus is very rare.

I had a Bernese Mountain Dog, about 120 lbs (55 kg) of floof. We never lived in a property with a yard or garden, it was always either a townhouse or apartment.

I understand what makes you think that big dogs in an apartment can be cruel, but I think that it's identifying the wrong problem.

Dogs need the right type of exercise and stimulation. Some of this is breed specific, the Aussie/Great Pyr mix up thread would probably have needs closer to my parent's Border Collie who needed (and got) double digit miles per day of movement. A Bernese Mountain Dog has lower energy needs.

As apartment dwellers we made sure that he walked many times a day, often in wilderness areas (an advantage of the PNW), but also often in dog parks, beaches, etc.

I've seen people who have gardens/yards assume that allowing their dog access to the yard is sufficient, rarely if ever walking them.

The key, as with almost all dog or pet issues, is the owner attitude, and has little to do with apartment vs house
