Why no credit based bailouts?
Obviously they have the same right to weigh in as everyone else, but I don't see anything new here.
edit: removed an unnecessarily mean part.

For comparison:
I clicked twice to generate numbers on random.org
The second generated numbers were
Here are your random numbers:
13 22

Should I send random.org an inquiry> why would ~~AI~~ random.org pick two numbers, out of 1 to 25? Should that not be evenly distributed instead? Why is the AI so skewed?
(The first set of numbers were 20 and 12. Unfortunately I didn't get lucky to get 13/22 on the first try.)
We are talking about 2 trials, right? Or did they do more repetitions?
What would be the "correct" numbers to get from 2 trials that show an even distribution?

I've seen that used as a description for 2years or so.
> One of the first technical considerations of the modern fire escape was carried out by the Franklin Institute in 1881 after the Randolph Street mill fire in Philadelphia trapped 35 people inside. Their conclusion was that external egress paths, in other words, the bolt-on fire escapes had, quote, “comparatively little value.” They recognized the fact that it was the only practical choice in some situations, but that internal stairways, properly constructed, afforded the best means of escape.
I took "The recognized the fact that it was the only practical choice in some situations" as a much less general statement than
> External fire escapes are the best they could do 150 years ago
Based on the video, external fire exits were a bad idea from the start and were recommended against 150 years ago, but inertia is hard to overcome.

Feels more like a software discovery list than an indictment. Thanks for the categorization.
My experience with people complaining about CPI is usually simply that the numbers don't match their feeling.
Looking at the description [1] is really interesting:
> The shelter component of the CPI includes two major items: rent of primary residence and owners' equivalent rent (OER). Rent of primary residence, or simply rent, refers to the cost of renting a place on the market. [...] OER refers to the amount of rent that a homeowner would be paid if they were renting out their own home in the market. [...] is calculated by splitting the non-recurring cost of buying a home real estate into rental payments
I got a bit tired reading [2] for more details, as it isn't even my countries CPI...
> The expenditure weight in the CPI market basket for OER is based on the following question that the CE Survey asks of consumers who own their primary residence: “If someone were to rent your home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?”
Left me a bit unsatisfied, but I'll keep it at that. The followup question would be how much rent prices deviate from housing prices. I am sure that has a lot of data though.

However, my experience with the gemini, jules and antigravity apps was awful. So it is difficult to pin that on the model.
I wanted it to give me a proper comparisson for VPSes or server options and it took so much babysitting and it couldn't produce reliable pricing information or visulalisations.
(Emphasis mine)
> Convenient how it never tracks housing cost increases
I think that is included in shelter. I might be wrong.
