shanghaibebop,

Raise the property tax, exemption for owner occupied, then tax the rest.

shanghaibebop,

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

shanghaibebop,

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

shanghaibebop,

Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

shanghaibebop,

No, because I need too much information for work. This would render me unable to perform my work, so I would need at least the replacement salary.

shanghaibebop,

I find cast iron to be a bit heavy for everyday use, carbon steel gets you most of the benefits while giving you more flexibility on the weight.

The only thing I use my non stick for is omelette dishes mostly because it’s much easier to fold French omelet when you can lift the pan easily with 1 hand.

shanghaibebop,

You can certainly cook eggs in a well-seasoned cast iron. I just like to do french omelets which requires you to stir things before it sets, which is a bit more difficult on seasoned cast iron or carbon steel vs just a plane non-stick.

Both of my carbon steel and cast irons are larger 12 inch pans, so they are both a decent weight.

New Research Reveals Why You Shouldn’t Add a Banana to Your Smoothies (scitechdaily.com)

Researchers have found that the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in certain fruits like bananas can reduce the absorption of heart-healthy flavanols, especially when combined with flavanol-rich ingredients like berries. The study suggests choosing ingredients with low PPO activity, such as pineapple or oranges, when making...

shanghaibebop,

Frozen fruits that are high in pectin. Chia seeds.

shanghaibebop,

Dealers can’t be consuming all their supply ;)

But I agree, overall, southern European food is just so much better.

AI model output quality decreases when trained with AI models (futurism.com)

“Our primary conclusion across all scenarios is that without enough fresh real data in each generation of an autophagous loop, future generative models are doomed to have their quality (precision) or diversity (recall) progressively decrease,” they added. “We term this condition Model Autophagy Disorder (MAD).”...

shanghaibebop,

You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.

shanghaibebop,

To be fair CDC recommends 7 days after onset of symptoms.

At least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared if a negative viral test* is obtained within 48 hours prior to returning to work (or 10 days if testing is not performed or if a positive test at day 5-7)

It does seem a bit rushed to me

shanghaibebop,

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

shanghaibebop,

Both of you are assholes.

Nothing warrants destroying things over a perceived misgendering.

At the same time, a bit of an asshole response from you, when you could have just politely said that you meant dude as gender neutral term

shanghaibebop,

Disenfranchised minorities. I mean the Panthers literally started California gun control.

Though I think more gun control is no doubt better for society.

shanghaibebop,

Assuming x percentage of legally acquired guns can be diverted to illicit means.

Less overall Availability of guns means less overall availability of guns in the illicit market.

shanghaibebop,

I’m not convinced by any mass society that is altruistic, but it’s very simple to see that the natural state of human small groups is quite communal.

What mother has a ledger for the child’s share of food?

We have an entire feeling brain that’s dedicated to relationship building that’s very much the core of most small group relationships.

I’m also very convinced that this model does not work past Dunbar’s Number (~100-150 individuals), and most attempts at building communal society outside of that without some cohersion and some better way of organizing incentives is not possible.

shanghaibebop,

I’m in tech and It’s literally not falling.

People are still hiring, just the bar is no longer absurdly low.

During the pandemic, everyone was hiring like crazy, and people coming out of boot camps were instantly hired even when they didn’t understand algorithms, didn’t understand system design, and didn’t understand engineering principles.

Now, you actually need to have a brain to be hired.

Tech is also not a bubble, because tech is in every single industry now. You might get froth in certain segments of tech (crypto, AI, whatever is the current “hot thing”), the market fundamentals are absurdly good. Operating margins of mature software companies are consistently in the mid 20s to 30s.

Europe is cracking down on Big Tech. This is what will change when you sign on (apnews.com)

I read this wondering if there would be something strange, or an overreaction. There’s nothing like that at all. It’s basically just a law that forces tech companies to respect people and their right to privacy. Most of it is common sense stuff that you think they should do without having to be told....

shanghaibebop,

Not really.

Now the 15 sponsored links will be irrelevant to YOU as a user since they can’t personalize the ads.

They can still use context advertising which does not use your personal information but only what you are giving to them for search.

Amazon search is probably the least impacted by this, since they use context advertising by default.

A Throughline podcast episode about affirmative action, curious about folks' thoughts (www.npr.org)

It's a bit of a long podcast, but it raised some very good points. As an Asian American who went to a elite school, I'm very much torn between the two camps myself. However, I'd be very curious to hear other folks thoughts on this matter, especially on the points raised in this podcast.
