I've seen urban condos in US offering 7gbps to home. The high end is there.

After I first experienced symmetrical gigabit fiber I have only lived in residences that offer it -- it is a prerequisite for me choosing a domicile similar to trash pickup and electricity. My argument isn't that we shouldn't offer faster internet. We should have more places that offer faster internet. My question is what is the minimum viable upload speed for residential service.
paying a percentage based fee gives me confidence that my agent's interests are aligned with mine. And I have two interests only. One, close a deal. Two, get the highest price.

One of the key things a realtor do is set the asking price. the higher they set it, the more work for them. of course i want it high, so i want them incented to make it as high as possible, and to push me to stage it properly, have knowledge of WHEN to sell and then CRUCIALLY help me evaluate competing offers. Because often the highest offer is a scam.

Of course often the freeholder has no interest in improving the building other than the minimal maintenance.

The point of grifters is to overwhelm with insubstantial arguments. Do your fun game to her Twitter feed. See how long you can keep it up. Better yet: see if you can put a dent in her or her follower's belief system by totally pwning her with rigorous logic.

Double standard: you picked apart my post and didn't acknowledge a thing about the tweet I quoted. Do you disagree that it shares the traits of most right wing grifters engaging in culture war rage baiting?

Someone else put it well: racism is illogical and dependent on cognitive fallacy to be maintained. Easily dismissed if you address the "substance" of a racist's arguments. So why then is there still racism? Are the racists right? No, obviously not, so must be something else.

> Would you conflate BLM with the Republican Party? This is a quiet part?

I don't understand what you mean by this. I mean it's very interesting to me that a conservative would imply BLM is a leftist movement, in a country where the right wing is conflated with a form of psuedo-anarchy in the form of American libertarians, whose most famous hero is a man who ironically stood up to a different BLM and led an armed standoff with the federal government.

This is a one-party failure of the California democratic party 8-(

They're so in bed with the real estate mafia that it's almost impossible to get anything involving land accomplished.

With the number of people flying daily between southern California and the bay area, a high speed rail would be boon for the region. It's ironic that after the whole idea of California high speed rail was first introduced by a San Diego legislator in the '80s, after a trip to Japan, San Diego is no longer even on the initial planned route.

There's a simple solution to the funding problem: a $5-$10 dollar tax on each flight between SoCal and the bay area. These short hop flights are exactly what the high speed rail is supposed to eliminate, and the number of people taking them everyday is huge. Make the problem pay for the solution.

The same approach could fund the transition away from petroleum. The problem, of course, is that both major US political parties primarily represent the entrenched equity stake holders, not the population at large.

paying the seller's agent a percentage of the home sale makes sense still. it is more difficult to sell a very expensive home vs a cheaper one, so i wouldn't say at all the value they provide selling a $400k house vs a $4m one is the same.

it didn't make sense to pay the buyer's agent a percent of the home value which is what these lawsuits focused on. buyer's agent fees will most likely move to a fixed fee model.

Because Apple is great at product. They have product built into their DNA. Specs and technology are only there to deliver a product experience. Few companies in the technology space think this way.

Other companies are also really bad at product. Google can't convey a coherent product strategy to save their lives. Great at technology (and building chat apps lol), terrible at product.

A good sellers agent with experience will stage your home for sale to get you the maximum possible sale price. For sale by owner is definitely an option, but it’s kind of similar to being your own lawyer.

A good buyers agent won’t pressure you into any purchase and may end up showing you at least a dozen homes and can give you advice on bidding / actual value of the home, and can identify issues with the house before you’ve bid.

The key is that they’re prioritizing the long term network effects of being well recommended. Our buyers agent was great and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat. She definitely saved us from a couple of potential disasters, and from overbidding (likely saved us low six figures all things considered).

But obviously there are a lot of agents that prioritize turnover rather than actually helping you. You definitely have to either judge them carefully or get a positive recommendation from someone trustworthy.
> Apple know full well that this is not a mass market product.

I really feel like too many people are ignoring this. If anyone understands how to play the long game with a new product it is Apple. I mean the Apple TV was a "Hobby" for many years.

Has Apple ever put out a "Pro" version of a product before the "normal" version?

I think it also helps the clear sharing of technology between this and other products. From using the M2 tech, to iOS and (I assume) built with much of the AR tech they have been showing off for the last several years on iPhone.

I honestly kinda wonder how much of ARKit was directly made from work on the Vision Pro?

This version of Vision Pro was never going to be a massive product, I expect they knew they would get returns (and they hoped to mitigate that with the in store demos but that only does so much). But it is setting the ground work for a long term investment.

If grid electricity was priced correctly, it would be nearly free per kWh but you'd have an absolutely massive annual fee for being connected to the grid in the first place. The vast majority of the cost of delivering electricity via the grid is one-time Capex and ongoing maintenance. A shockingly tiny % is "marginal cost per kWh".

What you're paying for, one way or another, is for "base load" that doesn't fluctuate with weather conditions. The coal/oil power plant might not be needed most of the time, but it still needs to exist because its power is needed occasionally, and it cost billions of dollars to build so they have to get that money back somehow.

The problem with charging "correctly" structured rates (huge annual connection fee, tiny per kWh) is that it doesn't encourage any conservation, which will make consumers use ever-higher amounts of energy for exceedingly stupid stuff and thus drive even more Capex.

Perhaps the "best" way to charge for grid connection is to look at the single highest peak demand for each user over the past year, and use that to prorate against sum of all costs needed to provide the base load for that peak moment. So you pay for the infrastructure you needed at any point that year, and it encourages people to reduce their reliance on high-capex base load.
I dislike their engineered wood stuff. It’s decent for furnishing an apartment but for more permanent things real hardwood just feels nicer, and IKEA has relatively few options with that material.

Is this a question or a statement?

All ChatGPT does is predict the most likely next token (with a little sampling on the top most likely tokens).

That's it.

It doesn't lookup whether it wrote it before, it doesn't use an watermarking tools to check, all it does is predict the next most likely token after the tokens you sent it.

It can't even fill in text in the middle, they have to use a special trick where they have a <filltexthere> token.

It's been finetuned/trained with text that it's generated since it's been all over the internet since it's launch. However I highly doubt it's been tuned to detect chatgpt text (instead I imagine they'll make it opt to use a tool and use a watermarking tool when they eventually do implement it)

You just happened to find two cases were it says yes or no.

You should not expect any accuracy from asking it that question.

You're strawmanning, I never stated that the impulse was pure - i.e. solely to help. I would suggest that if helping is discouraged that the proportion of those doing it to self aggrandize will increase as for those people the signaling effect increases with the added risk. Then you're left with an environment the vast majority of those who remain are doing it for self aggrandizing reasons which is probably why young people start with that as a prior assumption.

Lol, meta-microaggressions that'll fix microaggressions.

I'm aware I'm within my rights to keep quiet and have stated as much. HN is the last place I continue to post and eventually I will stop posting here as well. I do this for my own sake, I live in a cloistered environment protected by wealth, and others who are similarly wealthy, where it continues to remain the 1990s. I engage with people outside of my environment to help myself better understand the cultural phenomenons I see occurring around the world, make a few statements for posterity, and perhaps let some people know it wasn't always like this.

How do they expect expected to stay ahead of AI. The 1st world middle class is going to be sacrificed on the altar of financialization - I see young people clinging to hope that the specter of communism will come and save them. They can't all be commissars and baristas - someone has to man the work labor camps.

I absolutely agree that a good agent adds value. They are worth their commission.

The problem is: the vast majority of agents are useless. As seller agents, they cannot put together a decent portfolio, they know little or nothing about house construction and repair, and they will show the house to literally anyone - not just qualified and suitable buyers.

As buyers agents, they don't listen to your requirements. They show you what they want to sell, not what you want to buy. Plus the lack of knowledge mentioned above.

If commissions fall, maybe at least some of the incompetents will find something else to do...

> I disagree in how valuable buyer's agents are, though. The value they provide is mainly for people who are completely clueless about real estate - which I guess could be a lot of buyers.

When buying a house, I viewed around 100 houses with my agent, and he called in multiple specialists to answer various questions we had on different houses we took a look at. When it came time to buy he demonstrated excellent negotiating ability and after we had purchased he helped us prep our house for move in by recommending trusted people to do the work we wanted done.

He worked with us for over a year and he earned his commission.
MySQL didn't have transactions (for many years after that), so PG over MySQL would have been the case for "good technical judgement" though maybe not the majority choice. For Python, maybe I'm biased - but you could have went for PHP in the argument if you swing that way and it still works.
They definitely underplay it - Meta is big on services, selling people a quest for sideloading or Blu-Ray streaming probably threatens their bottom line. Hard to blame them when the hardware costs the same as a Switch though. At the price Apple is asking (and the hardware margins they enjoy), I'd expect more capabilities than just spatialized iOS. I'm not sure the Apple customers in my life would buy a Vision Pro even if it was the same price as an iPhone.

> the global mindshare is sold on Apple being the leader now

Besides Casey Neistat and Mark Gurman, I'm really not hearing much from the "global mindshare" anymore. The Quest didn't really get any fanfare either, but it did move units and get market penetration from the start. Apple is on a slow roll right now, and until they get Half Life: Alyx or MSFS2020-tier system sellers, I'm not sure the in-group will even consider them on-par with PCVR. Given Apple's audience, I half expect their biggest VR competitor to be Sony's PSVR2.
Great comment about font design in general, although in this particular article it seems like it's not fallacious at all.

The optimum compression seems to be an index into the list of all legal moves.

But one can do better on average, by assuming that moves are not uniformly distributed. Let an engine assign each legal move m some probability p of being played. The worse the move, the lower the probability we assign to it. Then a more optimal code for move m is -log p bits, corresponding to an entropy (expected surprise) of sum -p log p bits for the distribution over legal moves.
