If unemployment needs to rise, it should start with "property managers"
Australia in 2021: Two in five (39.1%) were living in 'severely' crowded dwellings. One in five (19.8%) were in supported accommodation for the homeless. One in six (18.1%) living in boarding houses.
This keeps blowing my mind.
It implies that Minecraft could have had physics all along, it was mainly a skill issue.
How many of our other limitations from the past or even the present are rooted in our lack of creativity?
The datapack is up to 4905 commands. Honestly, that's less than I thought it'd take to simulate 3D rigid body physics so accurately. With everything else implemented, it only took about 10 commands to add Buoyancy.

And so cost effective! That's exactly the kind of thinking we look for here at Blackrock. You're hired!
Now get out there and do that to a nursing home.

A DBA once came to me with an issue creating a user account for the new DBA that had been hired. The account could not be created, the guy's last name was literally "Null."
Neither of them knew why I was laughing, and then I was very concerned about how they were hired.

If a corporation doesn't need to live in a house (no body), they shouldn't be able to bog down our real estate markets with their games.
Houses should be for humans, and they should be priced humanely.

It's very immersion breaking when you sell a completely unique silver claymore, jewels, and the head of a demon to an unimpressed fisherman wearing a burlap sack for a few coins.
Especially on repeat visits, I wonder why they aren't reinvesting in their own business or something.

The PATRIOT Act didn't work. It introduced the TIA (temporarily), started government spying programs, and crippled your 4th amendment rights (treasonously).
It was an early example of the neo-fascism that we're seeing here promoting the war in Ukraine.
@divsfunctional
This is the subplot of Agneepath (1990) that brings together the main characters.
It's essentially Bollywood Scarface, and the movie's "Manny" role is a coconut vendor who's left trying to get repayment after his coconut stand is destroyed in a gang battle.
@TimMeggs
We have lots of SaaS tools like tableau and Cognos, and even the certificate farm "developers" that come with it.
Unfortunately, there's no actual integration into the pre-existing infrastructure mostly built in access and VBA. SaaS is a Potemkin data silo that produces nonsense.
@andrewmichaelio
I like to believe he's had the chance to mature in some ways over the last 20 years, at least enough to know that none of us should trust anyone on the internet like this.
@PetreRaleigh
Not just art, but restaurants, small businesses, prototype tech, investigative journalism, and babies are all luxuries of a functional economy.
We're serfs with neglectful lords and no patrons.
@yacineMTB
There aren't many jobs I know of that are seeking a cs grad with no experience. I know I wouldn't want to work with one.
The good news is you can turn basically any job into a cs job, which will usually result in experience, a promotion, and/or a new company.

Now I'm confused, NBC told me a coup is when a bunch of random people trash an office.
It also refers to sabotaging our military?
@xkcd
Some are wordcels, some are shape rotators...
I, however, am the most neurotic of them all: a contingency diagonalizer. Capable of imagining every combination of calamity in terrifying detail, while spiraling down the gradient.

A few weeks ago, I was reading about adhd, autism, and brain glucose levels.
My takeaway, eat sugar.
I stopped drinking coke zero, started drinking Mt dew baja blast with 44g of sugar.
I feel amazing, no meds.
@kenklippenstein
Yes, in broad terms, but it's not copying or pasting anything. It's a statistical model of the entire subset of the language used to train it.
There are many abstract patterns in language that can be used to create language in similar ways to humans.
More like a big one of these.
@KamerynJW
Math really isn't for everyone, but you can always just be a different person. You should be ready to make changes if you want to learn something new.

What if an alien species conquered us and enslaved us, but only the cute ones?
Imagine a natural (non-cute) human, wandering up on an alien colony to be greeted by incoherent squeals from an approaching line of Precious Moments figurines.

What's really sad was that it seems to contradict his own work.
If there's anyone I would expect to find joy in language literally coming to life, it would be Ted Chiang.

It's true wages are low and there are people living on very little money, but it's possible to live on very little money in Japan.
Even when fully employed, with middle class wages in the US, it's hard to achieve anywhere near the same standard of living.

I am learning to accept that lying on the floor entertaining all my random thoughts really is part of the process. I just don't have the courage to write that on a jira task.
i. don't. give. a. fuck.
I like Android phones more, they do more, they i contribute more, they are better for the roles i need to climb the kardashev scale
i'll let iphones facetime and play candy crush.
@kenklippenstein
Tell it to use python.
The tokenization processes it uses to parse language behave counterintuitively with questions like that.
You just have to tell it to parse the data in python and run its own code, and it works very well.

I used to design software for these companies. Fannie Mae was literally buying its own properties back from itself with the 2008 bailout money via LLC's.
The whole market is a pump and dump scheme, all we have to do is take our money and houses back from $JPM and $FNMA.
@kenklippenstein
If it's not illegal for anyone to have power of attorney over an elected official, it needs to be. That's an incredibly obvious conflict of interest, Californian politicians seem so lazy.

Big orgs would easily pay that much to prompt something like:
"My database has 40 years of unvalidated data of varying formats. Clean it, consolidate it into a new db, index it, and build an analytics platform. Also, host it and perform maintenance"
@AaronEstel
Don't you hear about it in every movie? Isn't every interaction with a police officer an implicit threat of this exact thing that we all know is true?
@zhil_arf
Ultimately, US intellectual property law is anti-democratic. The United States was founded on deep principles of empowerment and enlightenment.
Our country has been corrupted by these ignorance amplification mechanisms, not empowered.
What if we use the internet to collaborate?
@tsarnick
I'm interested in how the structure of the language affects the quality. I've been waiting for a Chinese model, since their logographic characters are already tokens, in a sense. Plus, they have several thousand years of training data to go off.
@QuetzalThoughts
Food bigotry has always been a thing here, lobsters were hobo food until they weren't, now they are not authorized for hobos. Similar to spam.
What you're describing is southern food, but northerners are historically very racist and generalize all southern culture as "not white."

Just regular gatekeeping. What he said was correct. His attempt to dissuade anyone was not. Learn about the dangers of lead, learn the laws in your area, and build what you want. You don't need permission from your friend at harvard.

I agree, I don't like systems that don't have negative reinforcement.
I do really like feeling free to post things nobody likes, though. This will crush a lot of posters.

Jamie Dimon is more than just "connected" to Epstein. He sent emails expressing his love for Epstein, where he refers to disney princesses.

I've read dune many times. It completely shaped my life when I was younger. Now, I think the meaning I found in it, I've found handled with more depth in the books of Hermann Hesse.
If we built a neural network where the weights were lenses instead of vectors, for instance, and the input was light-shaped, the inference cost would be zero.

Rand used to be a pretty prestigious "think tank" but those have generally been corrupted by lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and "very smart" consultants.
They produce research like: "A detailed analysis of an industry I have no experience with, and how to make it cheaper."
@mayfer
The infinite map would make things interesting, incentivizing "dark forest sociology," where you would want to ramp up production discreetly, avoiding attention rather than seeking largest resource veins.

It really doesn't matter how good or bad he was.
It's just tragic that we let foreign intelligence agencies trick us into invading the same country twice.

Government contracting. Specifically with the pricing schemes they have in the aerospace industry. If they can prove a screw is 10x more durable than expected, they can inflate the cost 10x and repeat.
