In Sweden new rentals are exempted from collectively bargained rents for 15 years, the idea being that the landlord should be able to recoup enough of their construction and capital costs in that time to make it attractive.
It’s a way to get around some of the issues that rent control causes, such as reducing construction.
Unfortunately, due to how our rental market works, it’s largely young people living in those more expensive apartments, which is terrible for birth rates and inter-generational equality.
When I saw Anki/Duolingo in the bio I assumed it was for language learning, but this is a great idea!
I too often watch these kinds of videos without really retaining a lot. This is a perfect complement to turn infotainment into time well spent, or at least, less wasted.
GPT-4 (in)famously tricked a human to do a captcha for it. The current GPT-4 with vision would probably have been able to do it without the human, but maybe it has been “gaslit” by all the content online saying that only humans can solve captchas, that it doesn’t consider it?
Those countries simply forbid competitors from selling in their domestic markets.
EU regulations apply equally to EU and non-EU companies, so they won’t lead to homegrown tech champions. More likely they will cement the dominance of US tech giants because they’re the ones who have the resources to follow these regulations.
The numbers are reported by the Russian government. It is plausible that the true numbers are worse, but unlikely that the Russian government would want to intentionally project economic and demographic weakness.
As for sanctions, they were instituted in response to Russian aggression. If Russia had left its neighbours in peace, Western countries and especially Germany would have happily continued liberalising trade.
Obviously our leaders are better. Our standard of living is higher, our life expectancy is 10 years longer, and our 20-year olds aren't dying in a meaningless war.
Putin's leadership is so atrocious that he's bad even by the standards of Russian leaders. No need to watch the news to come to this conclusion, just look at the numbers. All Russian statistics point to a society in decline, held afloat (briefly) by high oil prices, and unable (under present leadership) to reform itself.
The idea that blue collar and white collar workers are equally intelligent on average might feel good, but is easily disproven as intelligence has been shown to be highly correlated with educational attainment.
It’s a very Anglo-Saxon objection, they are not mandatory in any of the Five Eyes countries unlike the majority of Western countries. Something to do with preventing government overreach.
Hallucinating also gets the point across that the LLM will sometimes be 100% sensible and 100% confident in its claims, while being 100% wrong in those claims.
Unity suffers from an outdated and inefficient architecture, both in game logic and the rendering engine.
There have been multiple ambitious projects aimed at finding a more efficient way to process game entities, and more efficient ways of rendering them, but that has only resulted in a fragmentation of the ecosystem.
Despite spending countless millions on trying to stay technically relevant, Unity has been living on past merits.
