RE #3: yes, and RealPage was caught trying to get employees who realized this fired, thus the illegal monopolization.

There's some value in getting rid of mechanical devices (or reducing the need to rotate the entire spacecraft).
The standard here was the doctor didn’t listen to the woman. He could easily have found she was lying or not with a simple overnight visit to the hospital. Put her in there for one night, see she’s not drinking but still drunk, and that’s it. Instead, she suffered for ages.

Listening is a simple standard. Doctors don’t listen because they don’t care further than getting more patients through the door faster.

If I tell my mechanic there is a problem with the steering, he’s not going to change the oil and send my car out, he’ll check the fucking steering.
Lots of linguists only work on static structures, diagramming morphosyntax and semantics of a standalone utterance. All of the fuzzy social context stuff doesn't generally get broken down into a "mathematical" structure in the same way. The piece we're missing here is called "grounding", the mapping of words in the utterance to entities in the context. I think it gets largely ignored because of this study of static structures. I don't know of any generic parsing framework/theory/tool that comes with grounding out-of-the box. It's just not done. Please prove me wrong if you know of a tool that does this. Other keywords are "deictic" and "pragmatics". Generally you only start to worry about grounding when you're doing some kind of robotics or other human-computer interaction and you need a human's words to map to sensor data or something on the screen to understand what the intention is.

As a possible exception, anaphora/cataphora resolution is pretty well-studied and for example is supported in spaCy (https://spacy.io/universe/project/neuralcoref), but this is mapping one word in an utterance to another word in the utterance, rather than to an entity in the context.
Unfortunately, the story for people who discontinue the drug is less rosey. Many regain some or all of the weight lost; it appears to be a temporary alternative to stomach surgery.
Mess with the fundamental hormonal balance honed over the eons of hunger and survival? What could go wrong?
Fair enough; it breaks some functional purity but in Bowler Studio you can have a mostly-scad-like DSL but you have access to the typical Clojure `rand` function. I'm pretty sure I could make that Swiss cheese pattern you described.

Wouldn't that happen organically? The underlying principle of "you want to leave a certain % of your units empty to maximize profits" is microeconomics 101 and doesn't require any coordination between landlords. Without realpage there will probably be a "rule of thumb" to follow, which most landlords will use. They'll in turn set their prices to hit that number, thereby ensuring that the empty units are spread around evenly.

"it'll fill up relatively easy (compared to the market it is in) so you'll often have relatively low vacancy (but even one month empty is paid for by ten months rented."

You are assuming that the marginal cost of turnover is zero, which it definitely isn't. Putting a unit on the market, showing it to prospective tenants, processing applications, background checks, income verification, etc is labor intensive and expensive. This is during the period where you have 0 income from the unit.
Same could be said for the prevalence of processed food.

I was not. The article stated that psychology was sometimes used to great success, and I was pointing out to those who hadn't finished the article (as it seemed to me, many had not) that it was already mentioned as one possible explanation.

MaFi Games | Senior SWE/game dev | Contract or full-time | $70-110k | Remote (World) | C#

EDIT: This posting is no longer active, thanks for all the applicants for applying!

I’m the co-founder of MaFi Games – an indie studio behind the game Captain of Industry. We are a small but passionate team who gave up their jobs at Google/Nvidia to pursue building the best factory simulation game possible, and we need more hands!

We are looking for an experienced software engineer or game developer to grow the team and accelerate our progress. We are also looking for part-time UI/UX designers.

Some reasons you’d enjoy working with us:

* A multicultural, collaborative, and innovative work environment where your voice is heard.

* Fully remote job with flexible working hours and vacation schedule.

* High quality C# code base, code reviews, tests.

* High work satisfaction, work on a popular video game with a wonderful community.

* No bureaucracy, no politics, no perf, 1 regular meeting per week.

If interested, please see the detailed info and requirements at https://www.captain-of-industry.com/jobs

Note that this is a fully remote job and we are happy to consider candidates from any country around the world!
No, you cannot craft an exploitation narrative out of tech startup founders. We have to draw the line somewhere. Say their directors of engineering and customer success are suffering under the lash of founders and investors, fine, but not one level of seniority higher than that.
What are the typical effects of someone stopping the drug abruptly? Have those been studied?

I worry that it might result in a resumption of previous patterns of behavior, yet with an additional ferocity.
Well, I expect that Twitter will now be banned by every corporate filter in existence.
Obesity has a whole galaxy of side effects an absurdly strong correlation with a large increase in all-cause mortality. From a cost-benefit standpoint, ozempic would be an obvious win even if the side effects were much worse than they actually are.
I worked for a company that started using YieldStar back in 2006 and at least back then there was no contractual requirement to use the recommended prices. RealPage did heavily push the idea that you needed to work within YieldStar at all times. If a manager disagreed with a recommended price, our in-house revenue management would work with the manager to see if there is a configuration error in YieldStar (wrong amenities, wrong unit type, wrong target vacancy, etc). If there isn't a configuration error, then the recommended price would usually stand.
If you need more things to fix:

* Software R&D Amortization - taxes on make-believe profits

* Patent law - protect small businesses from patent trolls

* Automate government-driven compliance standards - enable small businesses to sell into large companies/government entities, automatic certification when using pre-approved cloud solutions.

* Healthcare insurance - employees of SMBs automatically get access to medicare
Targeted gene therapy is the end goal, versus chronic management. We bug fix the human. Think of this as pharma print statement debugging.

In the interim, the drug helps those in need of intervention.

Tangentially, I wonder how people mentally model "too-good-to-be-true"?

"Everything is a tradeoff" is almost a core belief for me, but in the same time, in technology, the "too-good-to-be-true" events does turn out to be real every once a while (I'm using technology here as a general concept).

I do understand GLP-1 does have some downsides, like cost, or in my own experience, nausea. But the tradeoff seems negligible compare to the upside. Part of me feels like that there is some hidden trade-off somewhere that we're not discovering, but part of me also wonders if it's a once in while technology jump, where it is just better.

Anyway, I guess I'm just a bit wary to throw away the "everything is a tradeoff" mental model that has worked quite well for me.
Implying getting clinically obese hasn’t already messed with the hormonal balance of hunger and survival?
yes, I'm Hungarian.
Will there be a heavy lobbying from fast food, sweetened drinks, alcohol etc industry to ban this drug? One wonders.
I'm really interested if, in the future, obesity will be treated like alcohol-induced fatty liver, track marks, and other medical signs of addiction and not some kind of moral failure on the obese person. This also tracks with knowing addiction can sometimes be caused by childhood trauma (obese people are more likely to be traumatized as kids), genetic predisposition(obesity runs in families), and neurodevelopmental diseases like ADHD (obesity prevalence higher in people with ADHD).

In this view obesity is more like a tragic compulsion resulting from things out of a fat person's control and not some kind of "put down the cheeseburger sometime" activity to willpower onesself out of.

EDITED: Hey, am I saying something wrong or irrelevant here? (sitting at -3, but I don't think I've been particularly inflammatory or offtopic)
Correct. Worse is that there are models being touted as "open source" that don't allow for a bunch of different uses and specify their own custom licensing (look at what Falcon originally had, Meta's models with specific commercial carveouts, etc.), we need an rms of the new age to call these fake OSS approaches out as they feel more like they are being done to get the OSS marketing shine, without actually being free and open.

Your "source" is not open nor is it transparent if training code, original dataset, model architecture details, and training methodology are not all there.
> We’re nearing the utopic phase for this drug (if we aren’t already there)

GLP-1 increasingly looks like a vitamin.

It is "essential to [humans] in small quantities for proper metabolic function" [1]. But what our body produces gets eliminated in minutes [2]. Not everyone needs supplementation and too much can be harmful. But a deficit results in ultimately-fatal chronic conditions.

Open for: CTO / VP / Director of Engineering roles, interim or permanent

I’ve held several tech leadership roles (e.g. CTO/VP) in online product companies, e.g. within SaaS, B2B, B2C, e-commerce, etc. Mostly startups and scale-ups.

My specialty is “leader of leaders” roles, when a growing team needs somebody with experience of developing orgs, coaching staff and managers, technical leadership, strategy development, etc. Also comfortable with semi hands-on leadership of smaller teams.
I'd divide CSS development into eras.

First there was the DIY Era, when layout options were limited and CSS implementations were riddled with bugs and browser differences. Most folks coded their own layouts using a small bag of tricks (e.g. float + clear-fix). It was messy, but it all fit in your head.

Then came the Framework Era, when lots more things became possible, but the size of the spec exploded, and with it the number bugs and incompatibilities. A common choice at this point was to use a framework.

This article fits with the idea that we've entered the Reference Era. Implementations have matured enough that browsers do what you want without arcane hacks and workarounds. You just need a good cheat-sheet, because the spec has long since stopped fitting into most peoples' heads.
> Even if 70% of landlords use RealPage and their pricing recommendations, the remaining 30% should be able to absorb some of the people moving out as a result of this if the new rent is substantially over market.

It means that 30% people will get market-determined terms and other 70% will have no choice but to accept RealPage pricing. Because they need to live somewhere.
I got really pissed when the headline didn't match the puzzle specs. Still kinda cool to think about at least.
> in a straight line along the Earth’s surface.

This already seems suspect, given that the earth's surface is curved. A true straight line from the starting point would take us off into space.

So this feels like it's all just quibbling about different curved lines and which is closest to some definition of straight.

Wow, that seems like a sign of desperation, doesn't it?

I wonder how the other backers of the Twitter deal feel about financing pornography.

>I wish they would look into wage fixing across companies too - where at least "big tech" shares / buys salary data across all their competitors, so they don't have to increase wages - they fix them by being consistent across that dataset.

If this is "wage fixing" by the employer, what does this say about sites like levels.fyi for employees? Is that also "wage fixing"?
I don't think the level of involvement and conspicuousness required for this attack makes it any easier to cause crashes (even from afar) than it already was with human drivers, like by messing with the vehicle's brakes while it's parked, or using the same drone to drop a metal object through the windshield from high up.
Correct, and even YieldStar has a customer-set vacancy and lease expiration targets that it works towards. RealPage trains the customers to accept a little more vacancy to gain higher lease pricing.
And possibly the Apple App Store?
I think people tend to forget that privacy is not any sort of "natural law" of privacy from which core principles can be gleaned - privacy as a legal principle is a modern reactionary response to government and technology.

For most of human civilization, large families shared very intimate living quarters under the direct rule of patriarchs. Modern privacy arguments would make no sense to anyone living in this world. It's only through reaction to new technologies and forms of wrongdoing that privacy principles have been established. Recordkeeping and cheap print introduced disclosure. Photography creates new norms for clothing and private areas. The birth control pill led to all sorts of new norms about public and private selves.

Locke wrote millions of words about fundamental human rights, but never once gave a thought to privacy, and never appeared in the constitution as an explicit thought. Even within our lifetimes, it seemed normal to mail a book to each house in town with a complete list of names, phone numbers, and addresses of all (or most) of the residents! And in 20 years time it might be absurd with what we are putting up with now.

A lot of these cases hinge on things that are pretty bizarre. Whether I can see something with a naked eye vs a 1.5x lens. Whether the data is real time or updated daily. Is the person specifically targeted or was their data captured en masse?

People are going to argue that these things are supposed to be cut and dry, but I have now watched enough Youtube videos of people getting into real world arguments about their right to record neighbors vs the neighbor's rights to privacy that I don't think there is ever going to be a natural equilibrium that ever makes people happy.
Maybe I'm a little crazy but I use mpv as my image viewer. I like that I can use the same application for still images, video, and audio. Unified keybingings, etc. It takes some scripts and configuration to make this work though.
> more severe unknown incidents like thyroid and pancreatic cancer

Alcoholism, diabetes and obesity don't give you long enough to get these cancers. Even if we had evidence GLP-1 agonists massively increased the risk of these cancers, which we don't, despite them having been studied and prescribed for decades [1][2], the tradeoff makes sense for much of the population.

No reason why you couldn’t call the ssh binary if it’s available in $PATH. I’ve seen other tools do this too.

You’d need to be transparent in your GUI wording that this is forking SSH (in the case of Windows users) but it wouldn’t be an issue for Linux or macOS.
Can you perform cost benefit analysis in the long term on a drug that has only been used in the short term?
Yeah but obliterating your gut flora without even making an attempt at remediation is madness to me. It's like saying that people who quit smoking shouldn't bother going to the gym because their lungs are already busted.

I haven't looked at the literature in a while, but several years ago I saw some research which concluded that probiotics generally do not directly recolonize the gut; instead, they temporarily prevent colonization by "bad" things and help maintain a healthy environment until diverse recolonization happens gradually over time.

I also saw some evidence (backed by personal experience) that "complex" naturally fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, etc) were more effective than single-culture probiotics.

> [...] history shows that once we assign power to governments, they're loathe to subsequently give that power back to the people. Policy is a ratchet and things tend to accrete over time. That means whatever power we assign governments today represents the floor of their power in the future - so we should be extremely cautious in assigning them power because I guarantee we will not be able to take it back.

Lately I've been active in the AI space (langchain/llama index, LLM powered apps, agent orchestration, decentralized identity, on-device inference, multi-platform apps, local-first apps).

I can build any kind of app/system/architecture, using any kind of tech. I can build your MVP, do R&D, lead your team, or just be a regular team member.

I've worn many hats down the years: frontend, backend, mobile, devops, architecture, security.

No, I don’t, which makes it even more interesting. I know though that ItaloDisco is now Nazi music, via the same Western media from the last few days.
Not all plastics are equal. Some really don't leach much of anything in their normal use.

The main source of microplastics in water bottles isn't the bottle that's the filters (and the residual amount in the bottle is pretty astonishing)

Does it do these things any more than losing the same amount of weight by other means in a similar time frame?
I used to test devices for USB compliance a long time ago. One of the things I often saw problems with was the inrush current test. Basically too much bypass caps on the 5v. I didn't see it mentioned in the article. It's really easy to get focused on the high speed digital design but for compliance it's sometimes the less sexy stuff that gets you. No idea how this stuff works with newer versions of the standard but it seems like there still is a test. Nice article though.

Try buying food that isn't stored in plastics, worse yet, the supply chain before you get the food probably uses plastics between the various components. Seems like such a hard problem to solve.
Seeing this makes me not take you or your project seriously. Bumping commit count and playing some engagement farming game. Either open source or don't.

> Doing the boring work of getting the build working on github etc. doesn't seem valuable to my users vs adding functonality.

You don't need this to open source it, you can provide source without setting up builds
They're open about it, I don't see the problem. This is good money for some, meh money for some and bad money for others.
You're correct if you're focused exclusively on the work surrounding building foundation models to begin with. But if you take a broader view, having open models that we can legally fine tune and hack with locally has created a large and ever-growing community of builders and innovators that could not exist without these open models. Just take a look at projects like InvokeAI [0] in the image space or especially llama.cpp [1] in the text generation space. These projects are large, have lots of contributors, move very fast, and drive a lot of innovation and collaboration in applying AI to various domains in a way that simply wouldn't be possible without the open models.

I'm a bit of a noob here, but if

a) a linear SSM (a form of RNN?) is equivalent to Attention without the scaling and softmax; and

b) Attention is "all you need" and the thing that made Transformers radically outperform all the previous architectures like LSTMs that used to dominate NLP;

does that imply c) the scaling and softmax parts of the attention equation, in particular, is the magic touch that makes Transformers work so well?
