The models trained there on are rotten fruits and will be destroyed under court order. Frankly, a cartel with the power to change their countries laws would be wise to spend a few billion building out a state of the art ai lab and blatantly training their models on everything they can download. Everyone would use it. Would the us actually invade ($country) because hyper realistic Taylor swift and Mickey Mouse porn is a tap and swipe away?

> I have games from my childhood I still play

I think they are talking about modern games that do not have an endless shelf life like older ones can. With always-on DRM (like the game mentioned in the article), or games tied to an online service (where servers inevitably shut down like GameSpy or Destiny), or older games purchased on a market that closes (like WiiU shop or M$ book shop recently), you effectively lose access to the game forever.

Of course there are exceptions like Battlefront 2 where patches update ancient games or emulators that allow playing older games, but this isn't the norm for PC games.

What an absolutely wild conculsion to draw from the article. What even is the impetus for it? Just your bog standard lib owning? Or do you genuinely believe that the shopping carts are in better shape in your neck of the woods because the people are what...? Of higher moral fiber? Not ...i dunno, maybe due to the presumably massively higher usage of the carts in the big apple? Or the harsher weather? Or literally dozens of other more plausible reasons?
The carts at the discount supermarket always worked and they were not walked home, that’s for sure.

People there are admirably hard workers. They don’t beg. They’ll do all kinds of itinerant and odd jobs but they don’t panhandle.

Really it's the opposite. It's called a pharmacy, but in practice it is a convenience store first, and a pharmacy second. Often times the pharmacy is closed, has restricted hours, is understaffed, etc.

My first read was that the author was claiming that smaller companies are at least as competent at moderation than big platforms.

In my first read, I took that to mean from a process and inputs viewpoint.

But reading it again, I suppose the author could be taking a more consequentialist point of view. They are at least as good (or much better), largely because they don't have to do much.

I suppose that's fair, but also a lot of words in the OP to state a truism :-)
It’s not apples to apples… are the small/medium platforms really going to be lacking in fraud etc if there are no large platforms to target?

The small sites only lack fraud because the large platforms draw the fire.
While there are some cool artistic works in the article, I don’t think that they make great slides. They seem to be more of an infographic style. Something meant to be examined in detail.

A talk shouldn’t be focused on the slides, it should be an exercise in audience engagement. Slides should inform, not distract, but support the speakers interactive process with the audience.

Simple, clear, uncluttered layouts that require minimal focus to support the speaker are what slides should strive to be.

A year or two ago my grocery store got rid of hand baskets. Now you can only choose between a short cart, a full cart, or holding everything in your arms.

How the maths behind honeycombs can help you work a jigsaw puzzle
Remote workers are either US citizens or green card holders, which means subject to US taxes regardless of where they live, or contractors not subject to employment laws or taxes. At scale offshoring generally means moving entire factories or business units to countries with cheaper labor costs and/or more lax regulations. I look at that trend like any other historical economic trend: it creates both winners and losers.

The US government ceased to represent the American people in favor of corporations and the wealthy some time ago. That’s also the norm for governments, historically. Attempts to change that get called socialism and dismissed in America. It’s too late for isolationism, but I agree that corporations have a responsibility to balance the effects of offshoring and imports so America doesn’t get hollowed out. You can see how that has worked out.
I guess that makes sense, I'm rarely in a situation where I need someone to work on my computer.

This article doesn't seem to actually answer the question well...

If you want to see the problem, watch carts being put in the cart storage pens and watch carts being returned from those pens to the store.

A very small percentage of the carts will end up in pens off kilter, then pushed in by the entire line of carts behind them. This bit of pressure can bend the wheel attachment. Now you say "this is only one or two carts", but in a busy store that cart can be cycles 5-10 times a day so this abuse adds up.

Then, watch the carts get returned to the front of the store. The handler pulls out a 40' long 'cart snake' that is unwieldly and heavy. You'll watch them drag the entire line sideways at points to get it in line with traveling the right direction and to line up with the return lines. Getting dragged sideways both wears flat spots in the wheels and it can bend the castors or pop the soft part of the wheel of its rim.

Makes sense to me.

The admins of the groups are responsible for managing the discussion in groups including frontline anti-spam against the porn bots and the shoe bots and whatever. So it's semi-distributed moderation. (Assuming group admins care, but if they don't then users just abandon the group.)

Compared to e.g. Reddit, FB groups aren't as world readable or writable as subreddits are so you don't really get that classic inter-subreddit drama.

Where global moderation is still needed from FB's perspective is when group activities start spilling outside of that group, e.g. because they're coordinating extremist activity.

This probably won't be the result of user reports though. For privacy and scalability that implies an automated system which (hopefully reliably but only rarely) flags posts to a human working for FB.
Stores cheap out on more expensive and durable wheels. News at 11. I remember going to a boughie grocery store and being impressed by their Rolls Royce shopping carts. Or maybe formula1, hard to describe, great grip and mobility. Probably very expensive / extra. I do wish those wheeled basket carts with wagon handle were built better.
Donations don't work. If people can get something for free and without the hassle of sending money, very few of them will donate.

I have donations enabled on All About Berlin. About one in 15,000 visitors donates. The average amount is 8€. I regularly get reader mail that praises how useful the website was and how much they depend on it. Even the people writing those messages and asking for personal advice don't donate.

The revenue from affiliate links is 2-3 orders of magnitude higher, and I use them very sparsely.

People just don't give money easily. I'm at peace with that, but I chuckle when people talk about donations replacing ads.
Hey there, sorry if this came across as critique on the project itself or you personally. I get it, priorities change and projects get abandoned by the original maintainers.

My comment was more aiming at the ecosystem at large. Lots of the (RoR) stack in my current day job depends on long abandoned libraries with unmerged fix PRs from years ago and I see this all the time in the Rails ecosystem. Interest in the ecosystem is shrinking and this is one symptom.
Well, I received a keychron keyboard a few days ago. I ordered a used K1 v5 (Keychron does small, infrequent production runs so it was out of stock everywhere). After some examination, I've received a v4. It's the previous gen mechanical switch instead of the current optical switch. Someone apparently peeled off the sticker with the model and serial number and one key stabilizer is broken from wear, which strongly implies someone bought a v5 and returned a v4 they already owned. Apparently this is a common scam on Amazon now

This is a tangent, but I just looked at Keychron's website, and I don't know how someone is supposed to choose from all the models and options. And there seems not to be a "comparison" page on their site.
>If office buildings had been built with conversion in mind in the first place.

No, respectfully, that's a cop-out. I'll give an example: New Jersey gets nuked; residents are successfully evacuated, but now they all need a new place to live, and suddenly it makes to do makeshift retrofits of Manhattan high-rises to house them, if temporarily. That's obviously at the far end of the spectrum. I'm looking for the line where we cross from "untenable" to "tenable".
based on my anecdata, close to 100% of shopping carts have a faulty wheel that drags when I select it.
> the only reason it’s video is to show you ads

Looking at those video lengths, I'm inclined to believe you.

Any video that is 9 to 11 minutes long, I automatically skip because that's the sweetspot length for maximizing ad revenue. This person's are a bit longer, but looking at the video subjects, I can't see why they need to be that long.

(This is not contrary to you, I think):

See https://www.fresheconomicthinking.com/p/the-auckland-myth-th...

Let's start by defining "cheaper" as "cheaper rent" specifically. Rent will only decrease or stabilise when supply outstrips the absorption rate of the market. In New Zealand, for example, at least one analyst sees the equilibrium absorption rate of rentals to be 2.5% vacancies to total rentals. This means that to make rents go down (or stop going up at the same rate as household income), the available rentals must be greater than 2.5% of the total rentals.

One way to achieve that is to build a whole lot of housing and rent it out, far in excess of population growth in a city. To enable building a whole lot of housing, you can upzone a city. However, increasing potential housing does not actually increase the amount of housing.

To do that, you need to actually build houses. Now, anyone who wants to build a house will usually only do so if it makes financial sense to do so; essentially, when the risk-adjusted return on investment is high enough. Upzoning doesn't really change the risk-adjusted return on investment for developing a house.

Now, lowering rents WILL change the risk-adjusted RoI for building a house; it will LOWER the RoI! So builders will stop building when rents start decreasing, because the financials stop making sense. This is a natural hand-brake on (private) house-building rates, regardless of upzoning. Build enough housing to lower rents, and house builders will stop building houses!

----

The kind of counter-factual we are looking for is not really expensive cities that become cheap as density increases, because density brings about more jobs, income, competition, and so on that mixes in with housing data as confounding variables.

Instead, we want: cities where rent as a proportion of disposable income goes down, while increasing population and density. Most likely, any city in that situation is going to be increasing housing units faster than population growth.

The next part of the analysis would be to figure out how they managed to do that despite absorption rates being a handbrake on the market :)

----

A side-note; Auckland, which did upzone in ~2016 and again more recently, has not had a notable reduction in rent as a proportion of household income, despite increased density. Population growth meant that it hasn't really beaten the absorption rate of the market, except during Covid (lots of house-building going on at the same time as population decrease).

The weird thing is I just saw a few crypto scammers posting on other threads. Sucks to be popular.
I think you misunderstand how mesh VPNs work. Their primary purpose is as a control plane - introducing peers to each other so they can either communicate directly or via a relay (eg DERP) via per-node encryption. They should have no overhead compared to a single point to point encrypted tunnel like wireguard, because the “mesh” features are not in the data path.

The only real difference here is how the vpn product implements wireguard: userspace or kernel space, and how well tuned that implementation is. It might make sense to compare wireguard implementations, but (afaik) all are using one of several open source ones.

Most countries have laws limiting the size of paracetamol & aspirin bottles to reduce overdoses & suicides.

The UK passed a law in 1998 about it and saw suicides from overdoses drop 21% and liver transplants from paracetamol poisoning drop 66%.

"Numbers of tablets per pack of paracetamol and salicylates decreased markedly in the year after the change in legislation on 16 September 1998. The annual number of deaths from paracetamol poisoning decreased by 21% (95% confidence interval 5% to 34%) and the number from salicylates decreased by 48% (11% to 70%). Liver transplant rates after paracetamol poisoning decreased by 66% (55% to 74%). The rate of non-fatal self poisoning with paracetamol in any form decreased by 11% (5% to 16%), mainly because of a 15% (8% to 21%) reduction in overdoses of paracetamol in non-compound form."

TY. I am a fan of 7x7 with 5 stones, 8x8 I need to revisit (I haven't tried 8x8 with stones, was playing without stones for a while but they add a lot to the game).

Absolutely yes-

Funny story, originally it was generating 10kish tilings for a 6x6 board with 2 stones. but when I moved one of the stones over we would get... 0. WHAT? Apparently there is an entire field about dominoes (of course) and I had stumbled into something called the "Mutilated Chessboard Problem". It's impossible to tile a chessboard that has the top left and bottom right square removed. 62 open squares, doesn't matter, it's untilable. Crazy. Many boards are like this.

There is actually a very neat proof as to why, too. Placing a domino tile removes 1 black and 1 white square. So if you have e.g. 10 black and 12 white squares you're done for, you will always end up with the 0 black squares and 2 white squares remaining. With this intuition I was able to speed up the generator by skipping these types of boards.

As for it's implementation, it is a bit brute force, it recurses over a 64 bit bitboard to find all the possible domino tilings for a particular board, using bitwise operators for moves. I then use the 01 02 domino values and group them by the row/column numbers, so I can eliminate multiple solutions (less fun imo). There are definitely trillions of tilings, so after calculating all of them for a particular board and shuffling them only the first N are stored and then saved to a sqlite database.
So no source at all.

> It's made me suspicious of pretty much anyone selling their insights and made it hard to determine which are of actual value.

My experience from going down this road with trading financial markets, where there’s as much snake oil as anywhere, is: Try them.

At least, to the degree you can afford, i.e. don’t spend your last $5k on some course that you’re counting on to save the day (it won’t).

Basically none of them will be the silver bullet they claim to be. But you will learn. Even if it’s only learning how the grift works. That’s eye opening, and helps you to see who is offering real value and who is selling cognitive bias.

Take the view that from any resource, you’re only looking to get a nugget or two. Eventually you’ll piece things together. Everything is basically just “the basics”, but understanding the basics in a logical sense is different than knowing how to operate those basics well.

It's a tradeoff. If your customer service is good such that more people shop there, there will be more fraud attempts overall.

Russia simply has way more men, and can eventually attrite Ukraine into a demographic death spiral.

Not so, because to fully subjugate another country (that is strongly determined to defend itself) a mere 3x population differential, as Russia has over Ukraine, is not sufficient. Really you need more like 10x. This is one of the main reasons why nearly all the European colonial efforts, and American efforts in Vietnam and Afghanistan ultimately failed.

And why Israel knows it will never be able to subjugate the population of Gaza for any length of time.

The jackals of the American arms industry turning it into a live weapons laboratory is particularly grim.

Basically another version of the "Dontcha know, it's really the West's fault that we have this conflict in the first place; poor misunderstood Russia was simply forced to defend itself, you see" line.

Quantized space is absolutely discontinuous, and tunneling is a discontinuous system. In fact assuming the universe is quantum it’s discontinuous in reality but the appearance is continuous.

But depending on what’s useful we use the mathematics that help us.
