Come on downvoters: surely your super solid argument can withstand my accounting records. Tell me what I'm missing as someone who owns the very sort of building I rented in for decades under maybe 10 landlords– both good and bad– at 10

If it was that profitable then it would be cheaper? That doesn't even remotely make sense in the most superficial ways. I don't even understand how you'd think it does. Maybe if there were infinite housing options? But housin

> That's bullshit; being a landlord is a lot of labor. Buildings don't magically maintain themselves. It is true that there is a disconnect between the labor and the income; being a landlord in a desirable area isn't more

While many of these groups self-select for people like that, it's still pretty shocking to see the contempt, disgust, and even outright hate directed at tenants on a whole. Edit: Downvotes from spiteful landlords? And no, I'm not

As frustrating as it is, even great products don't sell themselves. I find much, if not most marketing for subscription-based services pretty scummy, but it's not like it has to be, and I'd much rather see physical ads than h

I can't think of many things where a 10x improvement in its strongest important metric wouldn't be useful? I imagine dumping a lot of current into something very quickly and recovering it 50k times would be pretty useful in bursty

My network security requirements have nothing to do with iOS. Can't we just collectively drop OS tribalism?

Seriously. > Insane to me that people ignore that. Yeah for sure, but I don't think this is a super representative crowd, though. People uncritically frolicking through all of these developments with AI-enhanced rose-colored-glasses

If it's like what they did with the military, they're just trying to push them into a more expensive licensing scheme.

There's no universal best option, here. Even two different pictures of the same thing at slightly different angles might look best with different upscaling algorithms. There are also variants on the smoother one to favor certain kind

Indeed, you have ascertained the the article's topic— big progress in GBM research— and correctly distinguished it from a topic the article wasn't about.

This is actually a really solid high-level report. Very well-written. Frankly, it blows my mind that it was made by a company with such infuriatingly asinine, incompetent, and ineffective support processes. I'll bet a non-zero quantity

> Sowing sentiment? Yes. Trials are adversarial- persuasion often matters as much or more than facts in formal legal writing. Blog posts presenting reason for prosecuting someone even moreso... Public perception, politics, etc etc etc.

Yeah it's great for SVGs. I still use illustrator because the type tools are a lot easier to work with for constant use,I already have a CC subscription grandfathered in at a cheap rate, and some things in it I'm just plain-old us

I don't think that's an alternative perspective, just a different (nicer, but related) topic. Recently, Bonaventure Dossou learned of an alarming tendency in a popular AI model. The program described Fon—a language spoken by Doss

That's different. Most PR justification of anti-consumer behavior deliberately avoids what the topic is really about to control public perception... While complexity is what the PR campaign is about, it's still really about co
