That's a bad indicator for whether there is a "shortage" or not.

You need a sufficiently high vacancy rate to be able to have a dynamic marketplace: if all houses were occupied then moving then moving houses would involve swapping houses with someone (or having a short-term stay... which means not all houses were occupied).

We live in a spectrum, the higher a vacancy rate the easier it is to find a house that meets your needs.

It really is not surprising that as vacancy rates go up prices go down [0]

While it’s arguably perception rather than thinking, experiments purport to show time dilation for race car drivers, pro athletes, gamers, or normals in accidents, allowing the person to self perceive as acting/reacting in a kind of Neo from Matrix slo mo in extremis.

Furthermore, we showed a reduction of perceived frequency for flickering stimuli and an enhanced detection of rapidly presented letters during action preparation, suggesting increased temporal resolution of visual perception during action preparation. We propose that the temporal dilation during action preparation reflects the function of the brain to maximize the capacity of sensory information-acquisition prior to execution of a ballistic movement. This strategy might facilitate changing or inhibiting the planned action in response to last-minute changes in the external environment.

"Our guess is that during the motor preparation, visual information processing in the brain is enhanced. So, maybe, the amount of information coming in is increased. That makes time be perceived longer and slower."

https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2012.133...

It seems less likely that time is slowing for them than that their perceived processing frame rate spiked on demand to handle important (life threat?) detail:

These results are in line with the third-person perspective studies on the effect of movement on time. That is, the faster the speed of the car in the video, the more context changes were perceived in the video, aligning nicely with the hypothesis that the number of visual changes drives temporal dilation effects. Although tested in a different context, this explanation find corroborative support in a study (Antonson et al., 2009) on the effect of landscapes on preferred speed in car simulators, with landscapes richer in details (i.e., forests compared to open spaces) associated with slower preferred speeds. Although this effect is typically explained by other, higher-level factors, our study suggests that the rich detail landscapes might cause internal time to run faster due to the higher number of changes, causing participants to drive slower to keep their subjective speed at comfortable levels.

Thanks again. Like you said it is fun to dream (ask the "Scheme Machine" guys sometime about how they would go about it now), but practically with technology like Julia's Zygote:

https://github.com/FluxML/Zygote.jl

the efficiency of autodiff might be similar to that of an opcode anyway.

So, how did DEC do on the Alpha processor? I always heard good things about it--IIRC (I didn't) it was ~~based~~ to replace the VAX, but 64 bit. I learned PDP-11 assembler at RPI, during their college program for high school students in about 1984. We hand assembled code and really got to know the architecture.
Frustratingly, the Backblaze personal backup client doesn't support Linux, because they don't want people to abuse the personal backup service for their server, NAS, etc.

Frustrating, yes, but I had to appreciate the recursion.

RFC 8259, Section 6, specifies unlimited number of digits for the integer and fraction parts, but allows implementations to have size and precision constraints.

It suggest that IEEE754 binary64, because it is widely available and supported, should generally be safely usable (which happens to be exactly JavaScript numbers) but it does not limit JSON numbers to that range/precision.
Well not quite. Yes, the Model 3 is ~29cm wider. But to get out of the car, you have to open the door, and the door of a typical “safe” car is 15-20cm thick. Remember that the door has to swing outward more than its thickness just to make any space at all to exit.

Vehicle width can really make a big difference in tight spaces.

I was speaking in absolute terms.

When speaking in relative terms to a newly built fossil fuel plant you are most likely correct. You'd be hard pressed to find a plausible source of energy that's worse for the environment (immediate AND long term) than burning dirty sequestered carbon sources like coal and oil.

When speaking in relative terms to a newly built nuclear plant—the context of my response—batteries would be significantly worse per KWh of baseload energy supplied.

Honestly, I love dealing with Android because it cuts close to the operating system and is one of the few mainstream jobs where you don't deal with frameworks. You deal with the mess that is the Android file system, for example, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but at least it's fun.

One of the benefits is we can swap in external code that "does everything", but in a poor manner, yet it works well enough to suit business purposes. And later on you can surgically remove it and replace it with an optimized home-built version.
I presented an example along those lines, but more apt. I noticed you didn’t explain why you thought it was less applicable. And yes, the internet service provider should not be able to monitor your communication and selectively block it.

But why do should people be forced to associate with neonazis against their will? Expressing neonazi and white nationalist propaganda does not make one a a protected class so businesses are free to refuse to provide them service. Does McDonald’s have the right to refuse service to cater a klan rally?
Touching the Future
Is AirBnB a tech company? I'd argue their core business has nothing to do with tech, but they've managed to become the biggest broker for temporary rentals in the US. They did need a good amount of tech to scale and be successful which is why everyone thinks of them as a tech company.

In my view, Compass is in the same boat. They want to become the middleman between buyers and agents in real estate. It's a platform play just like AirBnB. Not sure if they'll succeed, but I disagree with the premise that this is just some magic pixie dust. They need tech to scale (and there already seems to be enough to rival AirBnB).
Quality of football. Kaepernick wasn't that good. Take a mediocre player brings in a controversy and its not worth the gamble. Have him out of the league and his skill falls further. What's more telling is that he is still talked about, most similar talent football players simply fall to the wayside. If he had been good he would have been playing football.

If they were repairable, maybe those "broken" laptops would not just be put in the cupboard... and maybe there would be less on the secondhand market if the owner was able to upgrade them and extend their useful lifetime.

I hate Apple and consider their non-repairable and non upgradeable hardware design both consumer-hostile and environmentally wasteful.

You apparently do not, and seem to want to cling to any justification, no matter how flimsy, to sustain that belief, to the point of pretending that a 1mm thick, 20c connector is such a major size and cost burden when buying an expensive high-end laptop that customers should forgo possible repair and a guaranteed ability to extend the life of the item a few years down the track.

Arguing that in a thread that is about excessively high levels of writes to a limited lifespan SSD, no less!

Remember the story about Steve Jobs putting the iphone in the fish tank to see the bubbles where there was space left inside it? Imagine that with an M1 Mac, but the bubbles are connectors. I see space in there.

I have a question:

If Apple released a laptop that was 20% faster than their M1, and the same price, but it was hardware disabled after four years and must be returned to be disposed of after that, would you buy it? Why or why not? Would you consider that to be a better laptop from the point of view of most consumers?

I just hope you can afford all the dongles you'll need in the future you're so enthusiastic for...

Why haven't commission percentages gone down over time? It seems like a massive margin that should be trimmed down by competition. I would think there would be more than enough room to under cut the standard rates, cover costs and still make a healthy profit. Is there a low supply of realtors that causes them to be in high demand and helps them keep up their commissions or something like that?
Yes yes yes please somebody look into latency with these fancy ML methods! You can quite literally have most ML models approximated to a very good degree as very fast DSP using very few processor cycles given modern-day CPU optimizations. Or heck use an ISA simulator plugged into another fancy ML model, and have it also optimize to minimize instruction count while recreating the same signal! (having a model optimize on its own inference is a neat trick, but I digress.) I’m sure ML is just one bottleneck among many (looking at you, Chromium) but I so desperately wish people started caring about latency again.

This is great! Thanks Apache! I'm interested how the mature product will stack up against Neo4j. Neo recently changed their licensing model. They used to be open source, then they switched to open core, which means you can use the feature light 'Community' version under an opensource license, but the 'Enterprise' fork is now closed source. Until recently the community version did not have the ability to kill a long running query without rebooting the entire database, this was thankfully fixed but the spirit of that long lived defect was clear. As soon as Apache AGE supports all of the Cypher syntax we use, I'll be switching over from the 3.x version of Neo4j Enterprise to AGE. Hopefully AGE works nicely with the available HA PostgreSQL features.
A somewhat similar thing just happened to me with Apple. I did an AppleCare express replacement for an iPhone (swapped out my old, damaged phone for a new one via mail). Fedex then proceeds to lose my phone for about three months. No tracking information, nothing.

Three months after mailing it back, Apple said they received the phone and then proceed to charge me the full price for the phone, as they say they will do when you don't return the old device. Bear in mind that nobody at Apple or Fedex contacted me in those three months to say that the phone was due, or anything was amiss.

Now, I was in the position of being charged over $1000 for a phone they acknowledged that they were in the possession of. I went through many (10 or so) rounds of phone support. In a few cases, the higher up support people refused to hear my case. I finally disputed the charge with the credit card and after a while, my claim was approved.

Long story short, never shopping with them again.

It's quite possible. At the very least, there may be rules and limitations imposed on Apple by Goldman Sachs.
Agreed. We should focus on passing legislation around the behavior that we don't like as opposed to trying to break up these companies. There's a good chance that in the process of passing such legislation — for example, the kind that limits significant user tracking — that monopolistic effects would begin to fade.

I had a similar terrible experience with Apple Card. Still having it actually, as months later they haven't resolved it.

The product was great until it wasn't. The amount of hours I've lost to try and fix this, including talking to numerous people on the phone, is absurd. No one can figure out how to unlock, pay, or even close my account. Linking Apple Id's to Apple Card accounts is crazy. Shocked when I realized that was going on.

Here's a *long* screenshot of my support history https://breckyunits.com/appleCard.png

Small pain in the big scheme of things, but sad to see Apple not really innovate behind the fancy UI. I'd vote they nix this thing and leave consumer cards to Stripe and PayPal and others who are more focused on building better financial products for consumers. Don't pull a GE and get mixed up in finance Apple, you're better than this.

They’re leading right now by a bit, and when it comes to workloads involving tensor cores or ray tracing they’re burying AMD.

To be honest, the existence of this confuses me about the point of a mind map. If the ideas can be represented in an outline, what is the point of a "mind map"? Yet this is how mind-maps are advertised: https://thedigitalprojectmanager.com/wp-content/uploads/2019...

In my opinion, a "mind map" should only be created to represent ideas that aren't just hierarchical. i.e. ideas that reference each other and might go in circles and have several branches. e.g. https://wi-images.condecdn.net/image/zGEPg6z8l03/crop/1620/f...

> you claim his writing is "poor quality" based on....what exactly?

Because it is meandering, lacks a clear focus and organization, falls down tangents, etc.

People who are excellent writers within a professional system where (1) they aren't writing about themselves, and (2) have the support of professional editors, etc., before the public sees the work, often have much lower quality without #2 or when the context is far from #1, such as writing about personal incidents that are highly charged. And most especially when both of those occur at the same time.

And I don't claim his writing in the general sense is poor quality, I say that the four-part epic on this incident is poorly written.

Or maybe it intends more to graphically convey the flow of consciousness that results from extreme indignation more than to inform effectively about the author's side of events, in which case it's a masterpiece of written art. “Poorly written” definitely makes an assumption of purpose that may not be warranted: as a show-not-tell feelings piece it is tremendously effective.
> am not an Apple customer myself, so I have no idea how Apple works.

I think this is BS. It’s not uncommon for me to do a quick web search on behalf of a parent who is less savvy. I typically find what they’re looking for (such as the current COVID vax protocol in their city) on the first attempt. I assume you have the same ability.

> I assumed that the store employee could redirect her if necessary.

This is fair. I can see why this might be expected.
Worth noting that being worried or annoyed about losing personal data stored in the cloud does not imply that you don’t have backups. Restoring from backups is annoying in the best case scenario.

I remember back in the old days of the internets back when a cable modem meant you were bougie.

When we were playing tetrinet, some people didn't have mics but somehow hacked a set of headphones to work as a mic. I remember the audio quality wasn't -great- but what was back then?

I'd guess at least some of this is based on hacking the audio drivers that let the ports be 'controlled', i.e. how on some desktops when you plug a speaker in it asks whether you plugged in a speaker or a mic.
Yes, that is exactly what they represent.
Assuming you have a local backup too, rsync.net is an interesting option. It even supports ZFS snapshots natively if you're using a NAS. In case of ransomware it's useful to have access to older snapshots.

Myself, I keep everything on my cheap surplus NAS (2 drive redundancy), snapshot regularly, and occasionally sync to an airgapped drive the next town over. I keep a cold copy at my parents house, but that's last-resort.

The important bit is that I've successfully trialed recovering from a total loss of my NAS and house, in case that ever actually happens :)
