There is no lack of civic participation in SF. That’s why it’s the way it is today. It’s community organizations like Calle 24 who don’t want tech folks and don’t want new housing. They run the city.

Not ownership as in «I am the only one who can share this GIF in Facebook», but as in «I own the copyright to this GIF».

Something weird (IMO) about ffmpeg is that it doesn't do hardware-accelerated encoding or decoding by default unless you compile it with support and pass it some extra command line flags.

If you are using ffmpeg with hardware-accelerated codecs like H.264, remember to take the free 10x speed boost!

I was born in and grew up in SF. I still go once in awhile. SF got a lot worse.

I didn’t grow up with tents surrounding City Hall nor tents lining the sidewalk in the Tenderloin.

Go look at Polk Street in Nob Hill. Go look at Van Ness. Go look at the Castro. Those aren’t SOMA or the Tenderloin. I saw a smashed bus shelter right off Van Ness. I saw graffiti and garbage on the sidewalk in Nob Hill. There are multiple tents pitched right off the freeway off ramp in the Castro.

The problem of SF is not affordability. It is that its policies make it a honeypot for homeless. These people are in no shape at all to work. Think mental issues, drug abuse, etc...

These issues are societal and not limited to SF. Furthermore, SF’s policies don’t seem to be helping at all.

If you want to contain it, turn Salesforce tower into a homeless shelter and ban tents on sidewalks. Establish work programs to clean up street. Perhaps some of the people will turn around their lives.

The towns and cities on the Peninsula are probably laughing at SF. All the homeless are drawn to SF and have disappeared from their sidewalks.

Many towns on the Peninsula are not cool with homeless pitching tents on sidewalks. They get their tents taken down and are directed to homeless shelters.

SF seems ok with it, so all the homeless go there and pitch tents. Homeless elsewhere hear about this and head off to SF. SF politicians run on leftist agendas and then pour money into this endless pit.
The only drug dealers not making any money are the ones that are born into poverty and have to come up with no money from the street level.

Once you can put together at least a few thousand for a re-up you will make more than minimum wage, and you can double your money in a week or two with cocaine and harder drugs. It's easy to make 2k a week selling just eight balls and grams of cocaine if you know the right people on both ends of the equation.

But of course it's only easy until you get raided or someone else decides to test you! The cops will rob you too in the US. One friend lost two lbs of weed and another got jacked a few times for larger amounts of coke by the police. It's a real calamity and drug legalization is the only solution.
I guess this makes sense, who is going to attempt to force their taxi driver into something they don’t want to do at the start of the journey? Even knowing I’m in the right legally, I don’t really want to be driven anywhere by someone pissed off at me.

the cost of providing a fully subsidized apartment was only $11,000.

Sure, but that doesn't count spending on emergency room treatment and jail time in addition to the cost of the apartment. Housing didn't stop the other resource consumption or criminal activity.

It also doesn't count the other costs of providing that housing in the first place. The current debate in Mountain View of turning over one hotel to unhoused people includes spending $70,000 per room just in construction/conversion costs for a nice hotel that's barely 30 years old.
No offense but this comes across as a little naive. If you go visit the parts of SF that people don’t talk about, you pretty quickly realize the wealthy (tech folks included) are a very small slice of the city and live in their own bubble of trendy restaurants and jaunts out to Tahoe.

Most people are lower or middle class families struggling to get by and even if they didn’t “love” SF they don’t have a lot of options when it comes to leaving.
No, not really. (without license terms saying so not even the former, but those can be a thing)
There’s a statistic that the average length of the American marriage is 8 years.

> You can brag about owning such-and-such an image [...]

How? You don’t own a (digital) image. You own a token that references an image.

Everyone else can view the image and send it to their friends. But you have some token allegedly signed by the author of the image — who cares?
> I personally find "hate speech" nomenclature quite tedious

I first encountered 'hate speech' as a wide eyed teenager in the 1990s on a gaming IRC room that I hung out in. Somehow my ethnic background came out, and it was bizarre: the entire room either turned against me with racist hate speech, adding that they knew where I lived based on my ip (didn't think this was possible, but then didn't know anyone to ask if it was) and would come beat me up or worse. Or they just went silent and wouldn't stand up for me. I asked the moderators to help and I don't think they ever replied; certainly they never did anything. It was terrifying, and it made me clock out of IRC and online gaming communities for good.

So I wonder, to those who downvote someone asking about moderating (posts on your own blog!) or just consider hate speech as a term to be 'tedius' : have you ever experienced it yourself?
Do you have personal experience with such tasks?

> One way or another all of that chip supply would be sold, and then it is a case of benchmarking the social value, load and efficiency of the different uses to some utilitarian optimum.

I disagree. Cryptomining created a new market that increased the demand. There's no reason to assume the same numbers of GPUs with the same utilisation rate would be in use if we didn't have crypto. Thus, it does have direct environmental consequences.

Not all of that electricity use is a total waste: a friend of mine uses part of his mining heat to warm up the apartment in the winter. It's an expensive heater though.
Nice work, and nice list. I also failed in many languages :)

yapıcı -- maker
yapıcılar -- makers
yapılcı -- something with the job of being made

Yes, that last one doesn't make sense, which shows you are right, they are different concepts

yapmayan -- the one who doesn't make
yapmayacı -- the one whose job is not to make
yapabilan -- the one able to make
yapmayabilan -- the one not able to make

Interesting to correspond those to programming concepts! A DOM query for objects. The task makes me think natural language is designed more for controlling scenes in a video game or theatre, than for programming -- since concepts like duration, force and timing are so prevalent

Especially in Tech, it’s usually far easier to simply ask your manager for an extra day off than to cheat the system through sick days.

I had a period where I was going through a severe medical condition which would require me taking a day off at the last moment, and the few days off I took over a span of a few weeks caused far more consternation than the few weeks worth of extra leave that I had taken a couple of years earlier, when a combination of relocation, bereavements in the family, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time meant I ended up taking something like 2 months off in the year, simply because the latter were done with advance notice that allowed my managers and my team to be prepared for the my unavailability and to reach me if there was an emergency (which they did once and even then I had to decline staying in the call since I was in the middle of something).

We can read motor nerves invasively (ie after puncturing the skin) quite well, but noninvasive is much worse and often not useful for prosthetic control (although there are exceptions).
The problem for invasive monitoring is you then have infection risks in the short-medium term. In the long term, biocompatibility is an issue and leads to tissue reaction to reject the device, impairing signal detection.
Problems I see with NFTs:
- What prevents anyone from launching a competing chain and re-tokenize the same assets ?
- As other chains: if you lose the access to your private key, you're done.
- For real world assets (like a house), you have to enforce that the token is equivalent to the asset. That is: ownership of one implies the ownership of the other. Legally, it looks like a hell of a thorny problem: high-frequency house trading anyone ?
The causation is the same as for common pre-marital counseling methods, having an improved shared understanding of relationship expectations (including improved understanding of partner expectations where they differ from yours) before running into clashes of expectations in marriage.

This is done early marriage, and a slightly novel specific format, but it's not really all that different from pre-marital counseling methods which have been known to provide good results for decades, which have often included, which have often included pretty similar time allotment to the mechanism here, and a pattern of spaced sessions with presentation consisting largely of scenarios (fictional and/or from other couples) followed by time for the couple to discuss. So I'm not at all surprised that this is both effective and as effective as intense but narrow focus on one or anothee tool for coping with stressful situations.

Here’s the paper: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/53e2/70a3f29cf556849362130e...

Unfortunately on closer examination the results look pretty meaningless to me. The study involves rather small numbers (e.g., 4/33 vs 10/44 divorces), but an even bigger issue is that the “control” arm in this study wasn’t selected randomly, but rather consisted of couples “declining active treatment” or who “could not be scheduled for active treatment.”

So a better summary might be “Divorce rate cut in half for coupling willing and able to take part in a relationship building program, of any sort.”

If these psychologists had only been a bit less greedy about wanting to compare three different treatment arms rather than a real control arm, they could have set up a study that could actually have taught us something...

If the artist signs the NFT to you, then you can't track resales. It will always be signed as belonging to the original person who bought it. So basically this "alternative" to NFTs would be impossible to trade. It blows my mind that people still don't understand stuff this basic.
The point you’re making is valid, but you’re side stepping the key concern being raised.

The tokens you acquire are worth nothing.

Nothing about owning a token grants you any rights to anything other than what some other person is willing to pay/exchange it for.

So if a game developer chooses to accept tokens, you can use them; but that developer can at any time choose to stop accepting tokens or a subset of tokens making what you own worth actually nothing.

Now... for a regulated system of tokens (eg currency) a developer can’t do that: they are legally bound to accept fiat currency even though it is not redeemable for any “real” equivalent (eg gold).

Since a token is not bound to the DRM access to an item (say, image for example), it’s totally pointless to asset ownership with it, because it does not prevent the copy of the original digital asset.

The best you could ever hope for would be a regulated system, in which access to an asset via DRM was granted by a token.

...at which point, any “decentralised” benefit is lost.

So ultimately, the risk is 100% on the buyer here.

What you buy may be redeemable for something for some period of time... but that is true of any kind of token.

The “uniqueness” of the NFT is an illusion; it does not offer any strong guarantee of uniquely representing an actual asset.
Independent film/animation/interactive studio here-

NFT's are a cool new space we are very excited about experimenting in. I usually like Seth Godin's stuff but that blog post feels like an old rich man yelling at a cloud that exists in a dimension he doesn't understand.

Doesn't he know all the NFT stuff is going on in Ethereum which is transitioning to POS which mitigates the whole "crypto mining is the death star stealing all the earths electricity and killing baby animals" narrative?

If you want to yell at the electricity cloud then yell at Bitcoin, though we are using that to pay a composer in Venezuela for our new film and produce a novelist in Brazil so Bitcoin is cool too :0
Which means IDEA does not contain all the features of the individual IDEs.

The thing is, I’m confident in saying the plugins don’t replicate 100% of the feature set of PhpStorm or WebStorm either, but I’d defer to someone from JetBrains who has first hand experience.
Regarding the energy use: Since the 1st of March Cardano has native tokens (you can create your own token without the need for a smart contract) and multi-assets (wallets and transactions can contain more than one asset). The blockchain is using Proof-of-Stake and a full node runs on a raspberry pi 4. So it is completely possible to have NFTs without the massive energy consumption of Ethereum and without the very high gas fees problem. You can transfer for example 10 different tokens in one single transaction for just 0.16ADA (around 16cents at current price).

I still don’t understand why someone would buy a tweet or the ownership of an image, but you can do it in a more sustainable way if that’s something important for you…
You you do want to explain why and not just tell people not to.
> So it reduces divorce rates in half.

Over three years, not over the life of the marriage, but, while the average life of a first marriage that ends in divorce is around 8 years, there's a lot ending in the first couple, so having the three-year divorce rate is a big deal.

At least on mac the quality of the encoded h264 video is not the same (same bitrate but lower quality but much faster encoding) and the scope of fine tuning is also limited.
I disagree with the arguments there.

- Creators... become promoters of digital tokens more than they are creators": Is this a purist approach that artists needs to do only art for 24/7? Anything else is a violation of their artist oath or something?

- "BUYERS of NFTs may be blind to the fact that there’s no limit on the supply": there's the same limit on supply you got on regular art. Attaching a token to an art piece does not change its supply.

- "THE REST OF US are going to pay for NFTs for a very long time. They use an astonishing amount of electricity to create and trade": No they don't. NFTs are not a separate blockchain. They add nothing to the electricity already being spent.

The post has so many more inaccuracies, making it difficult to take its conclusion seriously. Here's another example:

- "Unlike alternative digital currencies which are relatively complicated to invent and sell": what? no. There are ERC20 tokens generators exactly like there are NFT generators.

> At the end of the day I do spend time on my configuration, but it's hardly the part-time job folks make it out to be.

If you never go deep (like me) then yes, it absolutely is a part-time job. Sometimes a full-time job, even.

The article is very interesting regardless and I've bookmarked it but the above smelled like elitism and I had to call it out.

I have no doubt that if you go deep on a tool that's widely considered mystical -- Emacs and GIT are very typical examples -- then you'll save time in the future. But I suppose those tools are never made with the other kinds of people in mind: those who want to learn the incantations with which their daily work is served and who don't want to hack on their tool or never gain hardcore proficiency with it.

I stared evaluating VIM after 18 years with Emacs. I've seen less cryptic errors when I worked with C++'s STL 15 years ago. At some point enough is enough and I'm tired of being blamed that I haven't lived inside Emacs' code -- when all I want is to be able to see syntax-colored panes, edit them, and have very light IDE features.
I've never seen an estimate that withstood any kind of scrutiny. I've seen estimates based on both fundamental misunderstanding of the function of mining, and wild assumptions regarding miner behavior and out of date asic specs. Have you bothered fact checking any of those claims you just made? I mean actually reading the papers they cite, and learning the methodology they used. Because while you're thinking about conquistas, I'm thinking about the field of cybernetics in the 70's, and how it killed itself dead with ridiculously flawed methodology for modeling population growth - as the Davos types all nodded in agreement.

To be fair, it's not always either-or: an OLED display of 128x32 or 128x64 resolution costs peanuts and requires 4 lines for routing (I2C), and I've used them on 8bit uCs.

No. The mapping isn’t invertible (that follows directly from the pigeonhole principle and the existence of gardens of Eden (1))

There can be many, many images that evolve into a given target image in one generation.

As an example, you can add any number of “isolated enough” live cells to an image without changing the next generation. Such cells will simply die out.

For any isolated stable pattern that isn’t a garden of Eden (2), you can also either keep the stable pattern or replace it by one of its pre-images.

(1) that’s true, but not the best of arguments. Normally, the existence of gardens of Eden is proven from the existence of patterns that evolve into the same pattern and the pigeonhole principle, as its much easier to find such patterns than to find gardens of Eden.

(2) I’m not sure whether stable gardens of Eden exist, so that requirement maybe superfluous.
