This was an answer to a question on a social media site. Why are you expecting citations? You haven't given any in this conversation. Should I not be taking your comments seriously?

> would have treated this as a systemic problem rather than commenting on any individual or group's behavior.

All systemic problems of the kind you're talking about involve the behavior of a specific group. Otherwise, you're talking about, what? All humans? All mammals? How is that useful to a guy trying to find a girl?

> get their act together and stop thinking of life in terms of "looking for a girlfriend"

What motivation do most men use to get their act together? Women. That's not a bad thing. It's human nature.

> the student he was replying to comes off as in some serious need of self-confidence, something that most well-adjusted people seek out in a partner.

And you don't think moving to an area where it's easier to get a date is going to help with that?

Is "absolute path" a coherent concept when you are talking about 2 systems?
I wrote a similar reply to a sibling comment, but to me the tone suggests "undesirable" because the advice is "don't even try to date, go anywhere else in the world", he even bolsters it by saying "I'm not kidding" because he knows its a bit extreme to uproot your life to increase dating odds. If he had said something along the lines of "expect to face some rejections before success, that's just the reality of dating, especially for a man in the bay area, here are some tips to make yourself more competitive in the dating market", that would strike me as a reflection on picky women.
The LGBTQ+ community in SF skews Gay and Trans, not Lesbian.

Here is the student asking:

“ Currently the only drive that makes me still want to try my best and fight for my future is knowing that getting a gf is even harder, like fr. I only know 4 girls (not counting the ones that are virtual or expired due to haven't talked to them for too long), 2 of them their parents know my parents so I can't do anything.
One of them friendzoned + not interested, one of them about to expire cuz haven't talked since last month. I know for sure I'm not getting a gf at least till I graduate, 100% sure. For getting a job right after 1 graduate, I know it's still somewhat possible at this stage, as long as I try my absolute best not to get distracted too much, plan my days and use all possible time allowed, seek help when needed, and not get affected too much by anxieties and negative emotions.”

There’s no natural state of money is there? I feel like characterizing monetary policy that way, as manipulative, is normative and kinda begs the question that there’s a natural state of monetary policy.

How could there be growth in the economy with a fixed pie of money? It is contradictory. There’d be a tremendously high bar for investment in any enterprise which could generate dollars if I could buy more tomorrow with the dollars I already have today.

> It wasn't permitted for music apps until a few years later, by which time Apple Music was established.

My understanding - Siri is at its heart a command and control system. It was able to do Music (and iTunes before) because it knew The Who and The Rolling Stones from the hosted music catalog, even if those weren’t downloaded locally.

Apple needed to provide the localized commands, but also still needed the nouns to go with the verbs.

Model merging is usually done with different fine-tunes of the same model. It doesn’t work if the base models are different.

One of the more surprising things is that you can actually repeat layers to improve model performance, ie 1-1-2-2 instead of 1-2. That’s how you get models with higher parameter counts than the original.

I agree very much with this. Something that annoys me is how much information tar files leak. Like, you don't need to know the username or groupname of the person that originally owned the files. You don't need to copy around any mode bit other than "executable". You definitely don't need "last modified" timestamps, which exist only to make builds that produce archives non-hermetic.

Frankly, I don't even want any of these things on my mounted filesystem either.

Your archive format just needs to be an executable that runs on every platform. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan is something that could help with that. ("Who would execute an archive? It could do anything," I hear you scream. Well, tell that to anyone who has run "curl | bash".)

I happen to think this is terrible advice, for whatever my 2 cents are worth.
Finding things later is downstream of deciding what you want to remember, which isn't going to be clear on the first pass through. The act of taking the note is supposed to be more intense than sitting there and thinking "yeah I'll remember that".

So my workflow is to take notes from my notes repeatedly, until I've distilled what I want out of them. Having a variety of stationary is part of this, but I'll also use text editors or spreadsheets. That is, I think, the "bicycle for the mind" use of the computer. If I start acting like an archivist that has to publish cited works or a student grubbing for the grade by dotting the i's and crossing the t's, then I get away from the thought.
I personally just find it weird. I just assumed the leak was a controlled leak intended to build/keep the hype going ( I have become mildly cynical over the years ). Maybe I was wrong.

> If the transition to a deflationary economy is slow and planned,

If your money is guaranteed to grow in value--and without the risk of actually investing it--that would starve the economy of investment, which would reduce economic growth. People would hold back on their consumption (why buy it today, when tomorrow it will be cheaper??), further reducing demand, which would further depress prices, etc in a doom cycle.

That conclusion wasn't reached by extensive investigation of economists belly-buttons. Its observed fact and lived experience in every deflational economy ever observed.

And if you think Banks are just going to forgive your debt if your salary decreases, you are nuts.

Fundamentally that is the issue.

There's not an _easy_ way to do this right now.

Your best bet is a lossless transform that undoes the huffman coding in the zip files, converting the compressed streams from effectively uncorrelated bitstreams to largely similar byte streams, and then pass that through a large-window compression algorithm (zstd?).

Similar techniques are used in ChromeOS for delta updates.
We do have way too much debt---and when we have too much debt, the inevitable result is inflation. Thank you, President Trump, for adding $8.4 trillion to the national debt and for financing the deficit by printing money.

But that doesn't mean that debt is intrinsically bad, or must always benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. Like any other tool, it depends on how you use it.

> > You’ll be shocked by the stark differences in behavior of women in places where women are plentiful versus their behavior within artillery distance of San Jose and San Francisco

> I take issue with that last sentence which is vague enough to be a dog whistle of sorts and implies it is women who are somehow at fault and who need to change their behavior.

We read this very differently. I read it as basically a reminder that people don't put in effort if they don't have to and that people respond to incentives. To take an example, how many devs were pretty lazy at work before the market tightened up vs right now? A change in scarcity can sometimes lead to some pretty big changes in behavior.

I also didn't read it as women need to change their behavior, as it was the student that the professor was explicitly telling to change (specifically their choice of location). If you want it to generalize it, it could be taken as advising men to change their behavior (and move out of SF en masse).

But it read to me that the professor in question thinks that women have a stronger position in the dating market than men in SF right now. If that's true (I have no personal knowledge about this), it seems unlikely that women would want to change that. I'm actually struggling to see how this could be a call for women to change their behavior. Would you mind elaborating on how you read this? It could be that I'm missing some subtext.
As a general rule, an online server should never be left "open" so that anyone can run arbitrary code there. Such servers quickly get turned into bots for botnets (which do things like denial-of-service attacks for their commanders).

I suspect Anvil has that credit card requirement to prevent botnet recruiters from abusing Anvil's free trial. (Anvil lets signed-up users run arbitrary Python code on their servers.) By asking for a credit card, Anvil has the information they need to go after anyone who violates their terms of service.

Reflex doesn't have to ask for a credit card because you can try it out locally. With Anvil, there is no local dev, you do all the dev in your web browser, in the Anvil Editor app. It's not just a web framework; it's a Rapid Application Development suite.
That's not an example; you're just taking advantage of your hapless interlocutor's assumption that you're speaking English.

Anti-suffering advocates caused the process of slaughter for general farmed meat animals to get researched a lot, so that now we know fairly well how to kill a tame animal without causing suffering.
IIRC the one requiring the least skill and least likely to accidentally cause great suffering is the "inert gas asphyxiation", i.e., displacing the air in the poorly ventilated space the animal is in with commonly nitrogen, until the Oxygen concentration drops so low the brain just passes out.
We know from many pilots who fucked up how humans experience oxygen deprivation to the extend that your copilot already passed out. The become loopy, incoherent, but notably not with memories of when asked during it that they feel bad/suffering.

And well, even when liquid the nitrogen sufficient to flood an their normal room would only cost like 1~5$.

More than that is due to either greedy vets or cat owners who spend a lot on fancy healthcare to get a few extra years of lifespan for their cat. But from a pure financial POV, most of that isn't worth it: generic cats are very not hard to breed/multiply.

Very sad. Cross-platform extended attributes are the very thing I would love. I even imagine a new archive format which would be just a key-key-value (I mean it - two keys, a set of key-value pairs for every top level key - this is EA / NTFS streams) store with values compressed using a common dictionary (also possibly encrypted/signed with a common key). Needless to say such a format would enable almost any use case, especially if the layout of the file itself is architectured right. MacOS wouldn't have to add their special folder (they add to every ZIP) anymore, tagging files and saving any metadata about them would be possible, saving multiple versions of the same file, alternative names (e.g. what you received it with and what you renamed it to) for the same file.

I even dream about the days when a file main stream would be pure data and all the metadata would go to EAs. Imagine an MP3 file where the main stream only records the sound but no ID3, all the metadata like the artist and the song names are handled as EAs and can be used in file operation commands.

This also can be made tape-friendly and eliminate need in TAR. Just make sure files (streamms/EAs are written contiguous, closely-related streams go right near, compression is optional and the ToC+dictionary is replicated in a number of places like the beginning, the middle and the end).

As you might have guessed I use all the major OSes and single-OS solutions are of little use to me. Apparently I'd just use SquashFS but it's use is limited on Windows because you can hardly make or mount one there - only unpack with 7zip.

> The economy is rigged such that in the absence of any positive action, workers' purchasing power goes down over time by default.

In Belgium, nearly all wages and salaries are "indexed" automatically in order to avoid social unrest [0]. If the government notices that prices of an index of goods have increased with 2% or more since the last increase, all wages, benefits and rents go up with the same number. The exact details could fill whole books though.

Indeed, if it weren't for such a mechanism, you would need to see strikes way too regularly in order to fix the runaway inflation against fixed wages (which is bad for productivity, which causes even more inflation).

It creates a setting where most people (who don't understand inflation anyway) don't need to care about inflation too much either. In fact, I have found most Belgians react incredulous when you point out it's pretty much the only country that handles inflation this way.

The themes range from oddities like desert complexes to underwater houses, orbital tourism spacecraft, you get the idea. Always posed as if it was the next big thing.
