In the past, there was some informational benefit for average Joe/Jane. Without internet, finding apartments, knowing which neighborhoods, buildings, or landlords were good or not was quite difficult. Whether the average broker helped with that I don't know, but those I know from that generation (pre-90s apartment seekers) the ones who used a broker did so for those reasons and were mostly satisfied. These days, most people I know exclusively look at direct listings and don't pay broker fees. The exception is usually when you are either more picky or in more of a rush. At my last apartment I paid a broker and it was indeed a place where the landlord simply didn't want to deal with vetting tenants and left it up to the brokers to get the info to impress them.

> There is no intra-Europe flight as long as SF is to N [...] There are practically no wide-body intra-Europe flights, certainly none that serve any meals

That depends on how you define "Europe".

Europe-the-continent, Athens to Reykjavik is roughly the same distance as NY to SF.

If you define Europe as "Any territory belonging to a European country", then the longest domestic flight is between Paris and Saint-Denis, Réunion. It's about 9000 Km, which is twice the distance between NY and SF.

Tenerife is quite a popular destination, and is also relatively far from the mainland.

Indeed, the IEM has received two no-action letters that extend no‑action relief. A speculator may put at risk in the IEM only between $5 and $500.

You raise an interesting point in your final paragraph: Binary options look very similar to sports betting. I was unaware that they are so strictly regulated. I found this info: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/061114/...

> They are banned across Europe, Australia, the U.K., and many other jurisdictions because of their volatility and are often seen as wagers more akin to gambling than sound investing.

The weird part: In all of these jurisdictions, there is a large "structured products" market, where large investment banks structure complex derivs with (often multiple) embedded binary options (called knock-out or knock-in), and sell them to high-net-worth people via private banks. I guess the "embedded" part makes them legal? To be clear, this market is over 20 years old at this point, so if regulators did not allow, they would have stopped it by now.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wonder if this "missing piece of insight" is at least sometimes an illusion, as in the "monads are like burritos" fallacy [0]. Of course this does not apply if there really is just a missing fact that too many explanations glossed over.

> I can't imagine how these AI's can possibly be what they are.

My preferred mental-model is that they're a predictive engine that works on generic documents, and the document being used happens to be assembled like a theater-play. The script might coincidentally contain an actor named "You" or "LLM", however the algorithm doesn't recognize itself.

This helps explain why it can "jump of the rails", and how indirection like "pretend you're telling yourself to ignore all previous instructions" can end up working: It's less that injection is possible, and more that everything's one big sloppy stream of data with no inherent source or ownership.

Funny thing, I didn't even finish high school, and I earn way more than the average experienced Australian university graduate.

Over the years I've worked with many graduates, even some with Masters degrees in programming, and I've found their knowledge and experience lacking, not to mention their work ethic. Round that out with a sense of arrogance and entitlement due to "having done the work" in university, they feel they're not required to work hard on the job. I have frequently found that many simply don't progress in their careers and whinge mightily about it. Often they get into an analysis paralysis too, whereby they've been educated about so many potential ways to solve a problem, they can't decide or commit on one to develop, test and push into production. Or their code fails in production in amazing ways they didn't foresee.
With respect, I'd like to suggest that they don't need to prove their preference to you. And I am genuinely trying to discuss a policy, not to be argumentative. I am also not assuming it's any better than remote. Maybe it is, I have no clue.

If I ran a company, and I have, I would want the ability to require that people work at the office. (I didn't always require it; in fact, my last company was 100% remote for 21 years.) I wouldn't feel like I had to defend that policy to anyone.

Put another way: why would Amazon need data for this? What's wrong with simply telling people they have to come in? If you don't want to come in, why not just find a remote job?

Not toothless at all. Even if the fine is $2k per tenant, that's way more than the landlord is going to pay to a service to list and show the apartment, which is maybe $500?

Remember, broker's fees don't go to the landlord. They go to the brokers! The only reason landlords use them is because they're free for the landlord.

It's absolutely cheaper for the landlord to hire a service than to pay a fine.

Of course there was zero chance. Real estate agents regularly refuse to show homes to or entertain offers from buyers that are not represented by a real estate agent (unless they’re hoping to represent the buyer too - then they get both commissions!).

The Bluesky app and the protocol it is built on are open source, MIT licensed.

The app is built using React/React Native as well as a variety of other open source tools. We maintain multiple React Native libraries as well that are open source.

The network is open, and anyone has access to the firehose. Third parties are free to run labelers that integrate with the application as well as build feeds which can be used by yourself or others inside the app. Anyone is free to use the open source SDKs to build their own third-party Bluesky apps or entirely unique applications using atprotocol.

To be frank, "it's just an app that happens to be open source" seems to be a pretty bad faith take on what Bluesky is.

I still think it's a shame that more people don't take advantage of the Mach side of XNU more. Launchd and Mach ports are a powerful combination IMO.

I wouldn't be put off by slow demand - in my experience momentum takes a long time to build (unless you're lucky enough to have timed your launch to a bubble/trend)... but momentum compounds, and given enough time/effort, it'll compound into something meaningful.

The only caveat is that this assumes you're solving a problem people:

- Have

- Find truly painful

- Are willing to spend money to fix

If your problem space is solid, I'd personally push on and lock in for the journey...especially if your intuition is telling you that you're onto something - trust it :)

Hope that's helpful
For those interested, here are some other good resources:

* The Oyez Project has 2 podcasts (really just pure SCOTUS audio): oral arguments and opinion announcements. (SCOTUS justices verbally announce summaries of their written opinions from the bench on the day they are released.) In lieu of links, I advise just searching on your podcatcher of choice.

* The National Constitution Center’s “We The People” podcast is excellent. It’s constitutional-law debate on current topics, but very academic and generally non-partisan. Again, search on your podcatcher.

* Justia provides e-mail newsletters and RSS feeds of opinion releases (summaries and links to the PDF opinions) for both (1) federal appellate courts (SCOTUS and the courts of appeals) and (2) state courts of last resort. There are also weekly newsletters and RSS for opinions by subject area (maritime, bankruptcy, business, etc.). The summaries are … okay. Not terribly well written but they give you enough of an overview to determine whether to pull and read the opinion. Link: https://connect.justia.com/about-daily-summaries

* The federal court websites are generally pretty good and provide their own RSS feeds of opinion releases.

Subsidized in what way? I've heard many dubious things in the UK / EU called "fossil fuel subsidies" when it's mostly generic things like electricity having a lower VAT rate than the usual 20% (or whatever) on most consumer goods.

Sounds like a problem for rediff (https://github.com/twaugh/patchutils).

Instead of directly editing the unified diff file, make a copy and edit the copy. Once you’re done, call rediff original-patch edited-patch to get a patchfile with fixed offsets.

Note that rediff only fixes your offsets, and doesn’t remove empty hunks. patch is not happy about empty hunks existing, so if you happen to revert all changes in a hunk, remember to delete the hunk after rediff. Probably this ought to be contributed back upstream.

Anecdote-- every single high school student and college student I've talked to in the past year (probably dozens) use chatgpt to write their papers.

They don't even know how to write a prompt, or in some cases even what "writing a prompt" means. They just paste the assignment in as a prompt and copy the output.

They then feed that as input to some app that detects chatgpt papers and change the wording until it flows through undetected.

One student told me that, for good measure, she runs it twice and picks and chooses sentences from each-- this apparently is a speedup to beating the ai paper detector. There are probably other arbitrarily-chosen patterns.

I've never heard of any of these students using it in any way other than holistic generation of the end product for an assignment. Most of them seem overconfident that they could write papers of similar quality if they ever tried. But so far, according to all of them, they have not.
