It's really funny how conservatives, who are supposed to be pro free market, anti governmental overreach support parking minimums - a concept that clearly is an example of governmental overreach.

If I pay you and then you pay someone else and then that person pays me the same amount we've increased the GDP without actually doing anything.
Wrong. This transfer of funds would be taxed in some form or the other. GST if u r a registered business. If u aren't, it would come under personal income tax. Therefore, it would not be profitable for you to do this money exchange without expecting something in return. If you say that you simply enjoy seeing cash change hands, then u r generating value. U r getting pleasure in return of doing this experiment. Soooo that does come under GDP.
Now of course, GDP shouldn't be the only metric you judge a country by. It's clearly very flawed in measuring stuff like quality of life per person, wealth inequality and so on. However, it doesn't mean that you should completely ditch it either. It certainly has its use case when trying to understand the economy of a country.
Oh such a distinguished gentleman...
For sure! <3
Awh they're so wholesome and positive. Thanks for sharing these :)
I have hundreds of short form videos which are designed to uplift, encourage, and speak positively about mental health issues.
Could you please drop a link to them? If what u'r saying is true, well I kinda need em at this point in time :(
So tiktok for the fediverse...
Listen, I'm all for open sourcing stuff and I'm all for the fediverse and all. I just don't understand why one would want a fediverse tiktok.
- Short form content is addictive af and doesn't add anything of substance to society.
- Video hosting is expensive. Peertube is already struggling. How do you expect to financially sustain video hosting that is addictive to the user (which means more consumption) without running ads? Paywalling it won't be an option due to the network effect as well.
Very interesting video, I had no idea the level of redundancy built into QR codes.
RIGHT?!! Same here. I didn't know there was SO MUCH of thought put behind QR codes. I always assumed they were just bits visually represented in 2D with the three black squares being there for alignment purposes. Turns out it is a lot more complicated than that hehe
Thanks!
Np <3
Dayum, that's nice! Maybe I'll use it if I ever want to learn a new language
Does Duolingo come up with personalised tests n stuff? Never used it much haha
Did u read the abstract? They're presenting a framework to use LLMs as educators in higher education. It's quite cool really.
The idea is to create a professor personalised for every student and their learning patterns. Imagine hiring a professor to personally teach you something. The professor talks to you, creates little tests specifically for what they think are your weaknesses are in the subject matter and so on.
This is very good for us as human researchers will now be able to dedicate (assuming this tech works) 100% of their time to research instead of teaching the same subject matter again and again every single year, coming up with tests, marking tests, grading their students' papers and so on.
If this tech is successful, then education costs would nosedive like crazy, which would be good for all.
