Keep in mind that the biggest recent experiment we have in rent control is that removing rent control increased supply and REDUCED prices.

I was one of the 16 devs in this study. I wanted to speak on my opinions about the causes and mitigation strategies for dev slowdown. I'll say as a "why listen to you?" hook that I experienced a -38% AI-speedup on my assigned issues. I think transparency helps the community.
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

China won't be satisfied with Taiwan if they get it. They'll keep going.
Chinese social media accounts have now started showing the entire island of Palawan in Philippines as Chinese territory. Philippines' Palawan island is located over 1500 kilometers from the nearest Chinese territory. Imperialism at it's peak! @PacStandardTW @MalayaIrredenta

Ethnicities do not own land. Nor should we try to rectify past crimes of ethnic cleansing and genocide by committing other such crimes in the future. Enough with the land acknowledgements. https://t.co/qSyI0qhTBc

VC the other day told me, "We've lost several really good founders to Factorio. They came back and just wanted to work in manufacturing, not SAAS."

A lot going on here 🧵 1. Whoever wrote the captions is a smart cookie. Direct calls to action like "Grade my pizza on a scale of 1-5" get penalized by FB's engagement bait classifier. Indirect CTA like "I will be glad for your marks" are better evolved for the harsh algorithmic

Testar en grej. Swisha valfritt belopp till @BlagulaBilen och svara med screenshot i den här tråden. Jag matchar allting 2x upp till 100K från mitt bolag. Vi kör till tisdag nästa vecka eller tills det är uppnått! RT uppskattas.

New article suggests that the AI really can make scientific fraud easier by fabricating datasets, this is something I have been concerned about for awhile (see my post from June). Journals are not prepared for the coming flood of AI-aided bad actors.
jamanetwork.com
This quality improvement study evaluates the ability of GPT-4 Advanced Data Analysis to create a fake data set that can be used for the purpose of scientific research.
I do worry that AI will make scientific fraud easier. GPT with Code Interpreter was happy to “fix” a dataset by making & justifying changes to make a regression work better, and outputting a CSV file with the changed data. Or you can ask it to create datasets, like this example.

Efter Hamas vidriga terroristattack mot Israel den 7:e oktober har Ukraina hamnat längre och längre ner i flödena. Därför dubblar jag månadens bidrag till fantastiska @BlagulaBilen, det de gör hjälper oss alla i kampen mot Ryssland.

Det här måste vi nästan borra lite i för det är så felaktigt/konstigt. I en artikel idag har @svtnyheter en nyhet om att det är "vindkraft, solceller och elbilar" som gjort att Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp stadigt sjunkit sen år 2000. > https://t.co/ILqvoeqmYW
svt.se
Utsläppen av koldioxid måste minska för att nå 1,5-gradersmålet och majoriteten av svenskar tror att utsläppen i Sverige ökar, enligt en Novus-undersökning – men det är faktiskt precis tvärt om.

“Batteries will only power bikes and small expensive city cars” “Batteries will never drive busses” “Batteries will never power large trucks” “Batteries will never power heavy duty equipment” “Batteries will never power ferries” “Batteries wil never power container ships”
This is a lot sooner than I expected… and I’m a believer! China Launches First 700 TEU Electric Containership for Yangtze Service China completed the float out of its first 700 TEU pure power containership. The vessel, which is being built for COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry, is
