Ugh I wish I could just read things without the ChatGPT “it isn’t X, it’s Y” tic jumping off the page at me.


Yeah, I closed the page after about 10s.

It's wildly easy to spot these days.


Sadly, I spent multiple minutes reading this before I realized that it's AI slop


Unless these are new-construction luxury apartments (which the article doesn’t specify), no net migration is implied by a sale. Someone sold, someone bought. What a strange article.

The occupancy of apartments, especially luxury ones, cannot be assumed. The average number of people living in them also cannot be assumed to be constant.

Of course the article doesn't mention statistics around either of these.


There's an article about luxury apartments sitting empty. Condos of the living dead or something similar that gets passed around in the construction field around these parts.

Notably prescient


Those that have other assets which are outperforming real estate can sometimes be the only ones who can actually afford some of the properties, which can change hands until they come to rest under such a situation.

At which point they can afford to hold on to them through lean times in anticipation of future appreciation, and in that case it doesn't make much difference if there is anyone living there or not.


Packing bunk beds into apartments can easily allow mass migration into cities.

Not that I would want to.


If it’s true that both people and investment dollars are flowing into NYC, but investment dollars are flowing even faster than the people, that’s absolutely hilarious.

Feels like the article started with a conclusion and worked backwards to fulfill it

Get out of here, Nwabudike. This doesn’t concern you.

I’m inclined to buy the RL story, since the image gen “deep dream” models of ~10 years ago would produce dogs with TRILLIONS of eyes: https://doorofperception.com/2015/10/google-deep-dream-incep...

That's apples to oranges; your link says they made it exaggerate features on purpose.

"The researchers feed a picture into the artificial neural network, asking it to recognise a feature of it, and modify the picture to emphasise the feature it recognises. That modified picture is then fed back into the network, which is again tasked to recognise features and emphasise them, and so on. Eventually, the feedback loop modifies the picture beyond all recognition."


If I’m reading this correctly it sounds like it might a kind of beneficial graft-vs-host reaction?

The HIV-free transplanted immune system sees the original immune system as alien, and proceeds to wipe it out at the cellular level. This presumably takes the HIV with it, even if the new immune system is not itself resistant.

I guess this means that quiescent HIV is not at a stage in its lifecycle where it can reinfect cells if its host cell is destroyed. My hilarious mental model of infectious HIV virions floating inside a CD4+ T-cell like angry bees inside a balloon is clearly mistaken.


Perhaps that’s the point.

From a _consultancy_ it feels a bit on the nose. Do you have a system that's mostly working at the moment? We'll migrate that at huge cost to something else (for little upside, but it'll get sold in really well to senior management)

This marketing effort is aimed at shareholders, not customers or employees. The stock has been tanking hard and she's just replicating the strategy of staying in AI related news hoping for a bump. Hopefully it works, for the employees anyway, so they can dump their own shares.

Yeah, what a jerk.


You win today.


I can't believe i was down voted for this silly comment on a third derivative pun. Get a life, techie.


Hehehehehheeh

> rapidly increasing

Surely not at a rate faster than one year per year?


The ability of your enterprise sales team to invite a $50M deal prospect to a luxury box with Kevin Durant is not to be underestimated.


This 100%
