I'm honestly displeased with this ending. Universities that want to commit 100% learning online should not charge full price.

Universities that are 100% online before Covid should not be able to grant visas as they have no campus.

There is a LOT unregulated, unlegislated here and a lot that needs to be organized now. Many organizations will continue to set unacceptable standards for education and in my opinion need to be reigned in. MIT, Harvard's global relationship, albeit special by influence and money, should have to follow what the government sets. Government should have edified that universities without campuses cannot grant visas as well as a variety of other things.

In short this is a missed opportunity and a waste of time, much like many/all plans of this administration.
Desalination has the additional problem that you need to dispose of all that salt somehow. You can't easily dump it back into the ocean without risking the local ecosystem. It needs to be diluted over a fairly large area. That adds some cost.

But it seems like this is more of a novelty and targets rich people, like bottled glacier water.
> New calculus: "Between retirement accounts and welfare, society will support me in my old age. Children are really, really expensive."

My calculus is not at all that society will support me. In fact, it’s the opposite. I anticipate no support from society, but I also don’t want to burden my family or society so I hope to be able to go out on my own terms once I am no longer self sufficient.
> Children have become more of a burden than a benefit in many ways.

Especially if you are female. Children turn your very nice life into a completely different one and take up an enormous amount of resource.

I would even go a step further that in certain cultures simply getting married turns your life from a very nice thing into something destined for drudgery. Japan is a primary example as the woman is expected to take care of both sets of parents in their old age.

Do you love some man enough to take that on? Or are you better off having sex occasionally and skipping the marriage thing?

> I don't think these changes are natural, given how little control people have over their lives. This stuff is being pushed from the top.

No need. People aren't stupid and can see the consequences of their actions.

Lack of elder care support is probably becoming more crucial than lack of child care support. Children start with their needs at infinity and get more independent on a strict time schedule--elderly get more dependent on an indefinite schedule and their needs go to infinity right before they pass.

It complicates parsing and creates ambiguity. It also makes it harder to create tooling.

> AFAIK, Golang assigns no special syntactic meaning to angle brackets beyond comparison operators

Go has also got bit-shift operators << and >>, which wouldn't interact well with angle-bracket notation.

Devil's advocate: or best practices are rarely incentivized...because there's little to connect them with real, tangible value in an organization. Having fully linted, automatically tested code doesn't matter if the product isn't valuable and useful. And if the product is truly valuable and useful, it likely would be as well in the absence of these practices.

Git's role would be to record the system incrementally as each patch is applied. I've already worked all the way back to the unpatched system. I assume that if I got it right, then I'll be able to rebuild. I've mostly been able to, and I'm investigating the mostly. Plus, I'm making sure that it's 100% reproducible so anybody can down the TUHS artifacts, run my scripts and have release 0 tapes, and a git repo of all the changes. And historians will be able to see what's definitely original, and my reconstructions of missing changes to programs. Those we'll never know to a higher degree of 'consistent with everything else'
Money is just one form of wealth. Having a network of trusted, productive people, such as healthy grandparents who can assist with raising children is another.

I can see in my extended family and friends the monetary and general success of those with supportive families (especially those families with multiple brothers) that worked together versus those families that were split apart and did not have someone to rely on. They are in completely different socioeconomic classes now.

What makes you say that? All it needs is a "knuckle" on the backside of the grasping arm, to push things with.

We already make gloves that work with touchscreens, so the knuckle can work with them also. Vision is the harder part.

This reminds me of a story from my first job.

The business I worked at was a typical office, like the one you saw in Office Space. Departments had their own TV screens on the wall that showed performance of individuals in a department; the sales department had a screen that showed who was making the most sales that day.

After we'd pretty much finished working on the web apps that supported these TV screens, the CEO met with me and a colleague to tell us how good a job we did. Then he said:

"You know, you're the only department now that doesn't have a performance monitor. Maybe we out to get one for you. We could base it on lines of code."

My coworker and I were speechless at first, but we started laughing because we thought it was obvious that he was joking.

"What's funny? Why are you laughing?"

We quickly stopped laughing when we simultaneously realized that our boss was not kidding! I said we'd get right on it in the next sprint, and he told us that sounded good and left. I'll never forget that look on my coworker's face.

And this is why the Turbofish exists in Rust.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/ba...

The key to parsing that is line 35. Is the line a tuple containing two booleans, the first the result of a less than, the second the result of a greater than, or is the line a templated function call, with two template arguments, "woe" and "is"?

(It is the former in Rust, and the latter is the apparently magical third option of

oh::<woe, is>(me)

though of course "woe" and "is" would need to be types, not variables, in that case.)
children have been a cornerstone of human life from the start, but you think the outliers on facebook are the norm?

everything the commenter described are not things one would “demand” before having children, but would only experience after having them. honestly, referring to having children as something that would be “in demand” is disgusting to me
In many areas the shortage of housing isn't really one of space, lack of housing, or population, but rather that everyone wants a house in the same urban areas, mostly due to the availability of jobs.

If you want a house in Ireland for example, then the country-side is dirt cheap, but if you want one in Dublin or Cork then be prepared to pay through the nose. The situation seems similar in most countries.

I'm not sure what a solution for this will be, but I'm not sure if population decline will be a major contributor.
Would you say geohot is a concert level pianist at...typing? Maybe you could say he's at the level for actually coding.

Actually, it is precisely the issue at hand:

From the ruling:

So Tesla are not allowed to advertise that it has the potential to do it in the future.
lxd does not run your containers -- it uses lxc to do so, and yes, lxc supports user namespaces (this is how you get rootless containers). In the end all these tools get here by doing the same thing, they do uid/gid mapping[0 - search "UID MAPPINGS"][1] and some filesystem module (whether kernel or user space) support. Why that is necessary is basically due to how the kernel works, and how containers work in general which I will leave as an exercise in the reader (hint: a "container" struct does not exist in the linux kernel, containers are a combination of processes and isolation via namespaces and cgroups and other kernel features).

What lxd provides is a layer above lxc to coordinate the containers being run (by lxc) and relevant resources on the machines you want.

It appears that function parameter bivariance is still a thing? [1] Although there seems to now be a flag to make this one use of variance correct.

I would assume even Array<T> is still bivariant as well...

Both of those are horribly unsound, just for convenience. Sure convenience and compatibility are Typescript's ultimate goals, but to actually praise it for its generics? That's very strange.

> TypeScript absolutely does allow you to express these relationships

How would you express a class with covariant or contravariant type params in Typescript?

Starlink won't have higher data caps than other satellite providers. They have at most 20Gbps per satellite, and realistically, much lower. Even with a couple in view that's still far less than the existing HTS satellites.

So they want to avoid angle brackets so they can efficiently parse source code.
It can help you be effective if you take the time to watch back the recordings and see what you are doing.

I would love to see this re-spun as a net-positive article, discussing how we can 'grow the economy' by providing goods and services worldwide instead of asymmetrically to only a small cohort of the population.

'Do it better with less people' is what sustainable is all about.

Birth rate decline in many economies correlates strongly to rises in standards of living: kids are a hedge against economic bad times in poor, rural economies.

The precision doesn’t change when you change the number of dimensions.

If you are using a 64-bit float, then you have 53 bits of precision in 1D, 53 bits of precision in 2D, and 53 bits of precision in 3D. The precision doesn’t change as you add or remove dimensions.

It's kind of hard to make a sweeping statement like that.

We're seeing costs and benefits of increased productivity/efficiency. My diet consists of fruits and vegetables that my parents could only buy a few times a year when I was a kid. My grandmother made dresses from potato and flour sacks during the war, and my great grandmother sold jams from homegrown fruits because sugar was rationed. I'm typing this comment on a machine manufactured and assembled halfway around the world, designed 30 miles from where I'm sitting, and last week took a medical test that was developed, tested, manufactured and shipped across the country in weeks.

To say that we don't benefit from increased productivity is not true - those anecdotes are all examples of how rapid industrialization across the globe and improved communications, design, manufacturing, operations, and strategy have quantifiably improved my life as a human.

I also wouldn't say that the boon in productivity demanded more labor. Particularly because the entry of women into the workforce was driven by the Great Inflation (which didn't improve productivity) and the tail end of second wave feminism which had succeeded in changing our society's attitude towards women in the workforce. The decomposition of that barrier in our society begot such productivity in our economy, it didn't respond to the demand for more.

But I agree, we're not getting all the benefits of such productivity. At least not all of us. But that's why UBI is probably the future, because eventually all our jobs are going to be automated.
Is there a particular reason for this becoming a cultural norm?

My country (NZ) has the opposite culture. It would be really weird to hear people talk with that much hyperbole.
How many gates would it cost, to include the various quantum like random sources as hardware on-die?

Open gate transistors, thermal effects, radiative effects...

I think people are putting too much emphasis on the financial costs, you figure it out as you go.

I have a 1.5 year old and it's hard to explain the simple joys I get from just running around the house with him goofing off. It's nice to forget about the real world for a while and build a pillow fort. He's also brought much joy to other family members (grandparents, cousins), and my extended family is closer as a result.
This statement is almost right but still wrong in a certain sense -- daemonization is not the issue here. In contrast to two comparable tools like podman and docker (docker is a daemon and podman is not), LXD sits at a level above either of those tools.

The comparable tool to docker in the LXD ecosystem is lxc. LXD is built a level above lxc.
The number of people without youtube access is decreasing every year. It is weird to me how many of you sneer of youtube use when I see it becoming more and more a platform for passing knowledge to people specially in the developing world that did not have access to it before. Yes because of easy access a lot of bullshit spreads too but youtube as a whole is an underrated access to knowledge for a lot of the third world.
Information doesn't 'want' to be expensive. We, people, want it to be expensive. And I'm with the folks want it to be cheap. Both groups will do what they can within their power to achieve their goals.
Do you not see a problem with media outlets requiring sources name themselves when speaking out against someone in a position of power? I'd much prefer the current situation of corroborating a scandal through what is often multiple sources in multiple publications if the alternative is not hearing about scandals that do exist.

It does sound appealing, doesn't it :-)

Regarding the model: as described in the article, you can create specialized ML models in millisecond scale. This means that all computational, latency and consistency issues disappear, as you don't need to update models.

The not so nice side of this approach is that there are currently limitations on scaling, so that it may work fine with 100k samples, but becomes somewhat slower with 1M samples and likely won't work in 10M and 100M scale. Still, like described in the article, I believe this issue is solvable within near future, and it's not an issue for many/most applications.
When you fine some cool tool you can:
1. Use as is.
2. Make behind the scenes changes that don't alter functionality.
3. Make changes that add functionality.
4. Make changes that remove existing functionality.

4 is the problem. It's like joining a car club then keeping pushing to have petrol cars banned. It is really shitty to find a cool tool that you can use, then try to force remove features that existing users use.
A human could likely drive just fine using only those cameras though.
Yep. I definitely got passed over in job interviews because I didn't act excited enough for the job. I was plenty interested, but I didn't act over-the-top about it. On the other hand, one time I was very interested in the product because I used it all the time, and the interviewer was like "well, I see you've done your homework" - as if truly being interested was impossible.
Starlink will not cost $80 for the gigabit plan. I'd wager there won't be a gigabit plan. They need thousands of customers per 20Gbps satellite for this to even start to make sense. You cannot fit even a couple hundred 1Gbps customers on a single satellite.
No details on the bonding agent used for binding the construction rubble.

But I really wish the world comes up with alternate building materials.

Currently, Cement has a large footprint. Sand used as filler, at-least in India, is in severe shortage and rivers are destroyed trying to mine it. And brick kilns consume a lot of energy.
I have been thinking of some powered exoskeleton that provides mobility as one solution.

>Also, Go has bit-shift operators << and >>, which wouldn't interact well with angle-bracket notation.

So do Java and C++. This is a solved problem in parsing. The overall point that angle brackets make parsing more complex stands, but bit-shift arguments are irrelevant.
This is good news. App stores are more like an employer these days. Sure, „Don’t depend on an App Store alone”, but if you apply the same logic to worker rules, you have hire and fire.

Many variants on brick have been tried. Making bricks with tighter dimensional tolerances so they can be epoxied tightly together rather than using mortar is one approach. The mortar is usually the weak point. But it didn't "look like brick". There are cement bricks, and, of course, cinder blocks. There are "poured stone" blocks, mostly for decorative walkways. There are rammed earth blocks. There are bricks in nonstandard shapes.

Bricks are reused all the time, mostly in places with old brick buildings and an underclass of cheap labor to chip off the mortar. Like Chicago.

The "let's just dump random construction debris in" approach seems kind of iffy. Figuring out how to make something from broken concrete might be more useful. If you want some broken concrete, and are in Silicon Valley, there's a plant on Seaport Boulevard in Redwood City that gives it away. They charge to dispose of concrete, break it into small pieces, and give it away as "base rock". From the size of the pile they have, even giving it away is tough.
If those experiences involve moving mass long distances (such as flying to South America and hiking the Andes), then it’s all the same.

One common situation is when evaluating CDFs for exponential or weibull probability distributions. The CDF formula for both of those distributions includes a 1 - e^(x) term that can easily be transformed into expm1 for additional precision.
I should clarify that the app deploy itself can take under 5 minutes if non-immutable; immutable deployments are the ones that can take 15 minutes or more.

I'm not sure if you're refuting what I said, but there is absolutely no way you will get 20ms end-to-end latency from this. Satellite propagation delay, yes, but for your ping to get to Google and back will be over 50ms.
Last I saw, it requires an antenna that’s about the size of a television satellite dish. Maybe portable enough to stick on an RV or campervan, but almost certainly not something you can take with you while hiking or backwoods camping.
I wasn't really paying attention or noticing until a couple weeks ago when I learned it. I cannot speak to trends, but it does not seem an uncommon topic right now. There's a lot of stress and anxiety in the world right now, more than usual. Maybe this partly explains the uptick.
Close - based on https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1128834111878193155?s=20, 60 satellites providing combined 1tbps ~= 16.6 gbps per satellite.
I too have heard this from people. But when I do, I can't tell if it is the root cause or a rationalization. There is still intense social pressure to have children, although I certainly remember it dropping over the last 25 years. Having children is still the assumption for a heterosexual couple, and you are often expected to provide a rationale for why not, and you feel you will be perceived negatively if the rationale is seen as selfish, and people who do choose to have children still sometimes take your choices as a criticism about their life choices. So you come up with some banal reason to deflect the conversation you have had too many times already. Or a reason to justify the decision to yourself, because social pressures are telling you it is a selfish decision and that selfish decisions about your own life are somehow bad.
