There's a lot of nuance to that, because "requirements" vary based on building type and other details. And TBH, I'm not 100% up on the latest details even here in NC, as I've been away from the fire service for some time now.

What I can say with some confidence is that sprinklers are widely required in commercial buildings, and I think it's safe to say that's fairly widespread across the US. But even there, I wouldn't say the requirement is totally ubiquitous.

Getting into residential structures is where it gets murkier. For single family homes, I think something like 46 states don't require sprinklers for new construction. For multi-family, and things like dorms, I'm less clear on the details of what is / isn't required around various parts of the country.
It’s funny you say we’re just humans as if everyone has an identical brain. Yes we’re humans, but we are all wired different.
Bing, Azure, and Office 365 all started under Ballmer. Microsoft’s stock was not priced rationally during his time but the company’s financials were also record setting for much of his tenure. About the only thing missed was smartphones. It was a big miss but obviously it hasn’t mattered since Microsoft’s present success has been built entirely on what Ballmer started. I am not sure why he is so vilified. All leaders will make mistakes. But in his case people are willing to ignore the successes. Nadella gets some credit as well, but it would be a falsehood to attribute Microsoft’s move into online services to him.
The study focuses on three main things: road noise, air traffic noise, and industry noise. As part of that, it shows the link between annoyance at a noise and the chronic stress, anxiety, and health issues that come from that. For instance, Fig. 7 shows people are far more annoyed by road and aircraft noise than other types, including “neighborhood” noise, and Fig. 8 that shows the link between annoyance and rates of various issues. So it doesn’t seem to be saying that any noise leads to negative effects, but that specific types of noises act as a kind of environmental pollution.
Metaphysics is an old kind of philosophical "pondering" on ones own existence and reality.. ("why are we here?" etc).
Also there is an art period called metaphysical art or metaphysical painting which was a movement in the early 1910s.

Yeah, a proper refutation of the idea that cognition is computation is going to have a VERY difficult time addressing the fact that computation and information theory are VERY fundamental physics, right down there with entropy, thermodynamics, and causality.

I just don't see how you can possibly get around that without figuratively introducing fairies. More susinctly: if it's not that, I think it's going to involve a proposal that involves something outside of observed physics which puts it on very dubious ground.

If you don't accept that, you have some really fundamental truths you're going to have to explain around.

1. By all measures, cognition is intimately associated with the physical brain (and the fundamental forces, chemistry, and emergent phenomenon of a functioning brain). This is basically irrefutable by every measurement and understanding of physics that we have. We can even use drugs, strong electric or magnetic fields, or physical stimulation to interrupt and alter that cognition.

2. Computation itself is such a fundamental notion involving information and operations on that information that most emergent phenomenon you could propose will almost necessarily meet the definition of computation.

Now... exactly what TYPE of computation is an interesting question: is it equivalent to a turing machine? To this, I don't know, but I suspect so. There are many other viable computational models though that likely fit the bill if this fails.

Wow, Tom is a bad guy.
His MO is fascinating, his story is capturing (the first story I am reading on this site to the very end), it's a mixture of intrigue, suspense, humor, care for Tom's well-being. I love that he cried for relief from the loop he was in, he felt relieved from the matrix of problem-solving thoughts natural to anyone doing something illegal and morally wrong (especially those who know that they are doing this in their hearts). I admire the guy, not the crime. He is really a great bad guy.

>Fish shipped from Alaska are unloaded on the east coast in Canada, where they put on trucks, and the trucks are put on a carrier train which makes a round trip back and forth for the length of the cargo terminal to qualify as being "shipped by Canadian rail" for US legal purposes, and then the trucks drive into the US with the fish. A related law afflicts cruise ships, which always stop somewhere in Canada, Alaska, or the Caribbean, on their way between US ports.

Can you find a citation for this, I would love to add the example to an upcoming book.
The production of seed-independent collisions for various versions of murmurhash (e.g., http://emboss.github.io/blog/2012/12/14/breaking-murmur-hash...) motivated siphash. In general, when there's no positive proof of collision bounds, I would assume (un)lucky inputs can collide much more often than usual, even when you change the seed.

The difference between murmurhash and xxhash in that regard is that anyone can download code to generate murmurhash collisions, while code to make xxhash cry is still unknown/secret.

XXH3 is also a lot faster for long strings, and I believe comparable to murmurhash for short inputs.

I suspect that building and operating a nuclear plant is more complex than coal, however this table indicates there are currently 2445 operating coal plants currently, and approx 500 in pre-construction or construction. So is it really that hard to fathom operating 5000 nuclear plants? Especially if our existence might depend on it? I also don't think people are recommending replacing EVERY source of energy with nuclear... just the dirty ones.

I had similar problems in city centres (Manchester included) and petrol stations. I'm definitely of the opinion that it was due to furloughed staff more than a safety aspect. I complained to my MP because our 24-hour train station decided toilets could only be open 7am-7pm due to "lack of staff due to COVID". Absolutely bonkers. They've returned to more sane opening hours now luckily.

Denying people the right to go to the toilet while away from home was one of the many, many lowlights in the response to COVID.
> Drug-sniffing dogs were called in, and they detected the presence of drugs on some of the money

Of course they were called in, they knew money often has drug residue on it and those dogs will be guaranteed to find something.

> In addition to returning all of the seized money – $28,180 – prosecutors agreed to dismiss the case against him with prejudice, meaning they cannot go after the money at a later date. As part of the deal, Warren agreed not to pursue legal action against the government

They don't want any precedents to get in the way in the future. Can someone else pursue legal action instead? Say, his family as they were deprived of it as well?
The degradation might also come from the fact that someone who is capable of steering a truck certainly is capable of wiping his ass and of not leaving an exploded loo behind... but they literally didn't care enough to clean up after themselves.

That's a great way to think about it! If we're spending $X on Y-thing, what other things could we have instead for the same $X?

That said, I'm guessing the reason is that there is not enough land, close enough to the University, on which the City of Santa Barbara will allow them to build.

Also, including the assumed cost of the land, you may not be able to build 1000 of them.

Also, also, the university may have authority to build on-campus 'dorms' but not 'houses.'

There was a certain small population causing that damage, one attracted by non-enforcement of vagrancy, littering, and hard drug laws in Seattle. Same group which has denied us shared public commons.
The building must meet NFPA code or it can’t be built, period.

To be pedantic, that may be the case for this specific building, as CA may be a state that simply adopted the relevant NFPA model code wholesale and with no changes; but it's not a true statement in the most general sense, as not all localities adopt the various NFPA codes verbatim (or at all).
>Don't pick the wrong side, especially due to supposed technicalities.

Not GP, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean about "picking a side."

Facts:

Assange published stolen documents;

Chelsea Manning illegally (whether that was moral/right depends on your belief system. Personally, I'm glad she did) appropriated classified government documents. That's a crime;

The US government alleges (note the term 'alleges') that Assange conspired with Manning and assisted her in illegally obtaining the aforementioned documents;

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) sought and received an indictment for the stuff they allege (there's that word again) Assange did.

// End list of facts.

From a personal perspective, I'm glad that much (not all) of this stuff was revealed.

What's more, publishing information that's newsworthy and/or in the public interest is pretty much what journalism is all about.

That said, the circus surrounding all this is mostly of Assange's making.

Even more, unless I'm called to sit on the jury at Assange's trial, I don't really have much else to say about it.

If (and that's a big 'if') the DoJ can prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury that Assange violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, then it's likely he'll be sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison.

The other charges (based on the Espionage Act of 1917) against him aren't credible and no journalist has ever been convicted of such charges in the US. As such, it's unlikely in the extreme that Assange will be.

So. Which "side" am I on, in your estimation?

I'd say I'm on the only side that matters -- the side of facts, evidence and the rule of law.

What say you?
> If the demand for stone suddenly rises to a point where much more walls and concrete is demanded, you get a massive delay in the production line because the stone needs to get mined and transported and crushed and transported &c before it even reaches the wall factory.

That doesn't take long. And you'd have enough walls as a finished product to wait out that small delay. (A tiny percent of what you'd have if you tried to buffer the full supply.)

> It's not entirely dissimilar to the chip shortage we are seeing. Our processes require a long lead time, which depends on accurate forecasting to work well.

The thing making the chip shortages so bad and hard to catch up is that we don't have enough manufacturing capacity. For both chips and the supplies they need. Buffers would not help much, because all the spare capacity we had wouldn't have filled them very far, and then they would have quickly drained back to leave us exactly where we are.

If you want to handle longer term disruptions then you need to have more factories, not more warehouses.

Keep some. FEMA, Coast Guard, and the Secret Service are good ideas. (They don't overthrow governments, spy on everyone, siege civilians, nor habitually seize things without warrants.) Some kind of border protection is necessary for a functioning state, but all those agencies seem staffed with sociopaths on power trips.

Yep, just happy someone was looking into it, I currently use xxHash for this.

Perceptual hashing for photos isn't great in my opinion, for example I have many raw photos that look very similar, the only difference may be a slightly higher shutter speed, or a correction of the camera angle. I'm guessing many perceptual hashes would mark these as duplicate. Maybe that's what many want, it's not what I want personally.

It isn't an either/or situation-- turns out the intelligence we attribute to a social animal is related to our ability to communicate with it.. which shouldn't seem weird at all. It's not clear we have a good understanding of 'intelligence' /outside/ of the social context. The word itself just means 'understanding'.. and 'understanding' is just the read end of 'communicating'.

Coming up with a definition of intelligence that doesn't need an observer/understander is an interesting exercise; kinda demonstrates my point inasmuch as the word stops taking on a unified meaning and we find ourselves grasping around for the real Y-axis.

That said I think the head-tilting somehow increases cognition for a second, and the social signalling is an added benefit. Maybe it's a blood flow or cerebrospinal fluid thing. Big brains use a lot of blood oxygen and glucose while they're working. But that's just me BSing.

Regarding the cane corso-- fighting/guard dogs don't do the head tilt, but they're not gonna learn the words either...

Also, dogs evolved to communicate with dogs for ~(10E7) years, then learned to communicate with humans for ~(10E4) years. I think they mainly speak dog.. well, not dog, but puppy; the common path of mammal domestication being through juvenilization.
Although a flashloan was used in this exploit, that's just a tool to leverage a fundamental flaw in the protocol. Flash loans clearly do more harm than good, so it's completely irresponsible for major DeFi platforms to still have this feature at this point.

The actual flaw is in Cream's oracle design for certain exotic long-tail assets. Basically, smart contracts need to get the price of an asset, and Cream was using the most naive way of simply calling the equivalent of asset.getPrice().

The reason this approach is critically unsafe is highlighted by this incident. A flashloan can alter price, borrow assets based on the new price, then return the price to normal before the transaction is finished.

This is not merely a coding bug but a basic design flaw that should have been caught by anyone with even a basic understanding of oracle design. It really reflects poorly on the competence of the entire DeFi space, considering CREAM is a pretty major protocol.
Its interesting how some languages can shift very far from it roots in a short time, while it seems Lithuanian did not shift so much.

I'm using XXHash3 for verifying data integrity of large (10+MB) blobs. Very fast and appears to work very well in my testing--it's never missed any bit error I've thrown at it.

Aside: when storing hashes, be sure to store the hash type as well so that you can change it later if needed, e.g. "xxh3-[hash value]". RFC-6920 also has things to say about storing hash types and values, although I haven't seen its format in common use.

I think civil asset forfeiture is a farce and should be ended. At the same time, the idea that a 58 year old man would spend his life savings by purchasing a $30,000 truck from a stranger who lives a thousand miles away, using physical cash, seems extremely suspect to me. Do people think the events described would be a reasonable basis to obtain a warrant for phone / travel records, to see if he'd been associating with known drug dealers?
> But with the advent of AI, your "AI companion" will become so valuable that users will probably pay hundreds of dollars per month for it.

If that's true—of which, respectfully, I am highly skeptical—that doesn't mean they'll be making vast amounts of money.

Most people—like, at least 70% of Americans—can in no way, shape, or form afford hundreds of dollars per month on something like that.
As Gen X and Millennials eventually retire[0], there are going to be a ton of people with lots and lots of time on their hands, with vision and hearing and fine motor control mostly ranging between "so-so" and "terrible" (thanks, aging!) who really want to spend some of their now-ample free time playing video games.

Hey this looks pretty awesome. More early treatment options for COVID-19 is going to save many lives!
To be fair, his previous works at UM and Stanford (confusingly, both called "Munger Graduate Residence") have generally very good reviews.

Michigan: https://www.veryapt.com/ApartmentReview-a7222-munger-graduat...

Stanford: https://g.co/kgs/TbYAFH

Honestly, it sounds like he just "optimized" the heck out of a residence, and part of the tradeoffs is that on average people would rather have a small private room with a fake window and lower rent and than a shared room with a real window and higher rent. His Michigan building houses twice as many students in the same footprint as competing plans, and the competing plans used shared rooms. Admittedly, these aren't really ideal for COVID though.

As an aside, one of his other interesting architectural quirks is that any shared women's bathrooms are generally much larger than the men's, to deal with differences in how they're used.

They should just move the Gen X - Millennial cutoff back from 1980 to 1975 or so. Gen X is already so small, it won't matter if we make it a bit smaller still. Meanwhile, coining your own special term to feel extra special about yourselves is the most Millennial thing I can imagine!

GCP is a bit weird; you are correct that they had a reputation for cancellation of products and services but I'm not sure how well deserved that was for the cloud platform itself. People who start using GCP seem very happy with it, but for old-school enterprise customers MS is seen as the safer bet.
I'm not sure what you are getting at.

My point is that they are very different companies, with different ways of making money and different risk profiles. But all with massive growth currently.

So to your question about which one to invest into, then you would make that decision based on which vertical you prefer (ads? service? consumer hardware?) or which one is more risk tolerant.

Or since they don't overlap that much (when just looking at tech), you could invest in all threes. Unlike say, FB and GOOG, which are both suffering from the same risks (but are making different bets for the long term).
In Dungeons and Dragons 3.5, its actually conjuration magic to bring people back from the dead (as fully alive). Conjuration magic is healing, summoning, etc. etc. So its seen as a healing spell, basically.
