Former firefighter cautions we should be skeptical of the safety of this plan, and your rebuttal is "surely building codes mandate..."? A zero-evidence rebuttal concerning the safety of 4500 students.
I appreciate the architect being willing to resign in protest over what he believes is an irresponsible action that will damage the students' well-being. We need people willing to put their reputation and finances on the line when they think something is dangerous.

Personally, I'm not convinced by the argument he's making though. I'd like to see some evidence that not having a window in your sleeping quarters is psychologically damaging: I suspect it's not been uncommon in many places in the world, and throughout history.

On the other hand, I'd like to see evidence that Munger's idea, that the students will spend less time alone in their rooms and more time in a shared environment, will play out. I saw the reviews of the existing dormitory he'd built, but I don't consider that rigorous.

In general, I'd just like to see evidence once way or the other rather than knee-jerk speculation. Maybe I should get out of this thread.
I think the next decade is going to suck, but those who survive it are going to have a far more robust supply chain, a better work/life balance, and more equitable taxes.

Capability based security should be the norm in a decade, and people will be able to just run random shit without risking their computers once again. This will allow the flourishing of small web sites that are currently shunned because of stranger danger. This will lead to less centralization of censorship.

We'll come to a collective decision about omnipresent surveillance, so the ghosts of Orwell won't be haunting us. I for one and ok with it, as long as some randomly chosen citizens get to watch the watchers, on a constant ongoing basis.

If it exists, the breakaway civilization inside the black projects world should be revealing some pretty awesome technology to save the planet, by making energy cheap and clean, any day now.

Work life balance has come back into focus as something we all deserve.
Systemd broke my computers plenty of times; the closed logging system spread the logs into the things systemd managed and what the application manages; there were the DNS problems that Debian solved quickly; and the moronic timeouts, why fail a service in a second when you can keep retrying and increasing the timeout for 15 minutes, dragging the boot sequence and making sure nobody can fix the problem for all that time?

There were many more, but I don't write it down. Systemd is a horrible piece of software that solves a very important problem.
Interesting! I mostly only know border collies by reputation, which is probably unfair.

The pleasing temperament is why we went with a golden retriever; my girlfriend wants to train her as a therapy dog. But training has been difficult, due in no small part to how inconsistent we've been (and how rambunctious the dog is). We also can't get her to entirely stop play biting, which is frustrating. I love her to bits and would do anything for her, but I don't think I'll ever get a puppy again.
That means that your landlord would have to spend $2M on improvements alone in order for their tax bill to 10x.

I have measured (on a Skylake core) the hash from Daniel Lemire, Owen Kaser, "Faster 64-bit universal hashing using carry-less multiplications, Journal of Cryptographic Engineering (to appear)" at t_cycles = (0.00741 +- 0.00098 cycles/byte) * bytes + (37.43 +- 0.48) which is roughly 135 B/cycle (675 GB/s at 5 GHz) or over 2x faster than the claim here. Admittedly, that 37 cycle fixed cost is probably quite a bit higher, and I don't know how well the bit mixing compares.

Parenthetically, a time equation (like t_cycles = coef * bytes + fixedCost) is a more convenient way to summarize performance of this kind of thing than the constant short string/long string mumble-mumble. Yes, loop unrolling/etc. can create step-ish functions and a linear regression is pretty approximate (but my stderrs are pretty small above), but even so..much less tripping over words.
Oh well. Whatever. Nevermind.
Actually no, I misspoke. Looks like they're just local.

The dorm I was in undergrad had a suite type of arrangement. (Though the rooms were not all singles and they mostly had usable windows.) IMO, it's preferable to the long corridor with rooms coming off of it.

The lack of windows seems not great and perhaps the massiveness as well. But the basic idea of groups of rooms sharing a common area is fine by itself.
This thread is full of people discussing a topic. Your comment here and elsewhere in this thread doesn't add much - "hey anybody with anything critical to say about anything, just don't use it" applies equally to ANY topic, and isn't the great insight you seem to think bears repeating.

[EDIT: sorry, that probably comes across as harsh. My point is that this whole site is for people to discuss things, and your comment(s) seem to advocate that people stop doing exactly that]

These sorts of headline sales are occurring with greater frequency. This one is obviously a case of a "flash loan", but all of these major NFT sales are being instrumentalized as part of a long-running industry scheme.

Many will have realized that art nowadays, crypto or not, has no intrinsic value whatsoever. This was an intentional objective of the very wealthy over a century ago: the propagandized destruction of technique/beauty/vision in art, centralizing tastemaking with a wealthy few. This removed the agency of the artist, and the capacity to make works that challenge power or speak truth in any real way.

The long-term goal of this scheme was to reduce artists to puppets. But even better would be to remove artists entirely, and replace them with corporations or algorithms. They can produce more work, do not complain, and will never have anything real to say. So long as the wealthy can "tastemake", manufacturing consensus through rigged sales, they can direct attention in the art market and choose who succeeds.

It is no coincidence that Sotheby's and co. are propping up work produced by an enterprise, or that "generative art" is all the rage. If the work is arbitrary, the value is arbitrary. And this makes manipulating the price incredibly easy, so long as you have manufactured enough consensus that this is the way art works. Arbitrary art cannot threaten the powers that be, so they love it. Arbitrary art cannot express anything about the human condition.

People are being led to accept the removal of humans from the generation of culture. To accept "AI art", utterly lacking in heart, soul, or vision. To accept that value is determined only by whatever the rich are pumping at the moment, and that anything else is "old-fashioned".

Many here are troubled by the effects of culture selected by algorithms. Wait until you see what happens when algorithms are making it. [1]

This is a graduate residence hall and graduate students tend to be a much higher mix of foreign students — looking at the reviews, many are praising that it’s pre-furnished and they didn’t need to do a whole lot to get set up. It’s also been my experience that foreign students (particularly from Asia) are just used to cramped, windowless accommodations like this for student housing so it’s not as dystopian-feeling to them.
Weirdly enough, my dog doesn't care one bit about squirrels. I wish I could get her to stop trying to chase the cats, though!
The standard[1] is for a shell built-in, not a separate executable:

> Since command is a regular built-in utility it is always found prior to the PATH search.

That's why it's weird that macOS has an executable which wraps it from `sh`, which I've discovered since the GP is something it inherits from FreeBSD.

I'm not sure if FreeBSD still does this (some FreeBSD poster let me know), but apparently they used to generate wrappers for shell builtins pegged to #!/bin/sh and drop them in /usr/bin, presumably so that scripts running in non-POSIX shells that didn't implement them at all could still invoke them. It seems kinda neat. But it also leads to weird behavior where you can run `command` in tcsh and it will tell you something is a shell built-in even though it doesn't appear in the list of tcsh's shell builtins and you're running tcsh, which seems... wrong.

> I'm not familiar with UK law, nor am I well informed about the penalties for jumping bail there. Was Assange held on charges related to that?

Yes, he was tried and convicted, and has now served the 50 week jail sentence (he was convicted 1 May 2019 after 6 years 10 months on the run).

> It's also not entirely clear to me what responsibilities the UK government has with respect to its extradition treaty with the US. Is the UK treaty-bound to hold Assange based on the US indictment?

Yes. They could be released on bail, but if you are a convicted criminal whos crime was jumping bail the last time you were released on bail, you are going to have a tough time convincing a judge that 'its different this time'.

Bail in extradition cases is covered by the Bail Act 1976. Where the requested person is wanted to face an accusation, the starting point is that there is a ‘presumption in favour’ of bail.

> Assuming that your assertion is correct, the UK government has some explaining to do.

No it doesnt.
Why does UCSB admit so many students it obviously can't support? That seems to be a big issue. I saw it happen when I was at Purdue too. They started putting bunkbeds in the _public_ dorm lobby because they couldn't support all the students they admitted. Its ridiculous that universities are doing this to their students.

Sad that economical living spaces are considered so radical on HN.

I lived in a small dorm with a crappy roommate (actual roommate, not flatmate). So I didn't spend any unnecessary time in my room outside of sleeping. I hung out at the library, cafeteria, etc and went to random talks/activities on campus (there are a lot of them on a big campus).

No windows? Sunlight alarms exist. They're great. Modern AC is also great.

I would definitely trade the privacy and security of private quarters for a tiny window that would probably be facing another dorm building.

University campuses are not prisons or suburbs. You can move freely and there are fantastic amenities in walking/shuttle distance. Affordably living in the thick of it, with private quarters, is an incredible luxury for most students.
ARM SoCs are complex and often undocumented to anyone outside the company making them. The arch is fine, but many drivers are needed e.g. for clocks (and a lot of reversing has to be done). Having said that, downstream (Android) kernel will probably be fine for a simple use case such as this

Residents seem to like it overall but reading though them, most qualify them as "great except the rooms don't have windows".

It feels mean, for lack of a better word. Maybe particularly in Santa Barbara with its beautiful sunny days. There's something dystopian about putting young students in windowless rooms and figuring "they'll get used to it". Next step is to save money by getting rid of windows in apartments, office buildings, etc. and everyone will spend their day under artificial lighting. There will be social clubs for people who want to see the outside world once a week.
why can't anyone say it? these summits are useless. League-Of-Nations level useless. nothing is accomplished, none of the major players are committed to anything more than virtue signalling...
At first I was a little annoyed, but then I had to smile at just how emblematic of Generation X the article really is. Screwed over by their parents, depressed, substance-addicted, and hopeless, but not one single hint of any effort or plan to change things. Generation X is the generation of ennui at the ruination of the world. Millenials and Gen Z might just be pissed off enough to do something about it.
I mean, that’s one solution to WCAG 1.4.1, but not the only one. Per WebAIM’s recommendations[1] on the matter:

- Color is not used as the sole method of conveying content or distinguishing visual elements.

- Color alone is not used to distinguish links from surrounding text unless the contrast ratio between the link and the surrounding text is at least 3:1 and an additional distinction (e.g., it becomes underlined) is provided when the link is hovered over and receives focus.

Lots of options in there besides just slapping underlines on things. Could be bold where other text isn’t. Could just be a color that stands out enough against your text. Etc.

You're assuming those laws are adequate. I wrote that the first time. It's a bad idea, you trust them just because the catastrophes haven't happened. For the next few weeks in your day to day, look at how many emergency exits are disarmed or blocked or locked, look at how many other inspectable things just aren't inspected, like when the last elevator inspection occurred on the ones you use.

We're trying to save people that trust the system too much. Let me know if you know any people like that.
Things like the collaboration is "self evident" or "speak for itself" are typical of propaganda. They basically say "we can't actually provide hard evidence of these claims, but we can point out enough odd things to make you assume our claim is correct."

Worth noting that the UM building is a significantly different scope and scape:

https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2015/07/heres_your_firs...

It houses 96 suites, 6—7 bedrooms each. Each bedroom is 16x9 with their own private bathroom. In one of the blueprints in the UCSB article, there appears to be 1 bathroom per 8 suites [1].

To be fair, graduate housing is supposed to be a bit better than undergrad dorms — especially in regards to not having to share a bedroom with a total stranger. And maybe the UCSB's tiny single room design (windowless or not) will be a good tradeoff for not having to have a roommate as an undergrad.

Most people have a few different shortcuts, steno is more like easily over a hundred, with different sets depending on the context you're working in. It makes sense for professionals going to court about x subject. I just found it needlessly annoying, especially when combined with the different theories and trying to find extra material to learn with. Depending on the resource, you also have to make sure it matches the theory plover is using.

Plover isn't just learn this general theory and you're good to go. It's more like learn this theory, and you'll be able to type 85-95% of your sentence really fast.

Also, whenever you get to word that's not in your dictionary, you go from typing say 150wpm to basically 0. It's pretty easy to make a command to toggle plover on and off to type normally (and also to quickly add a word), but when you have to do it almost every sentence, it gets old quick.

Every time you switch to a new subject, you're probably going to have to add words to your dictionary for awhile. Squid Game just came out and you want to type the Koreans names, going to add new words. Your kid told you about this new game Roblox? New bundle of words. Supply chain just failed and you want to pretend you know what you're talking about and write comments about it on the internet? New bundle of words.

This isn't an issue for professionals, but it's frustrating from an amateur prospective. Using plover is very binary. When it works, it's incredible, when it doesn't, it sucks.
I've always wanted to make something like this, but have it connect to a public WiFi network and operate as a VPN server. Thereby allowing fully anonymous internet browsing. One of many challenges would be getting past the captive portal.

BO comes from not showering / not being able to reach every part of your body (obesity), not changing clothing and bedsheets often enough, etc. Poor diet doesn't help.

I've literally never seen a sign that says "no truckers allowed" in my life. Truck stops have showers and laundromats. Clothing and sheets don't take up much room in a sleeper cab.

Some people just don't care. Others can't afford it; trucking isn't a lucrative job for most.

“ I think about the book "One Flew Over a Cuckoos Nest" which documents the horrors of an asylum. I believe this was the moment in US society when we started getting rid of those types of hospitals, and people that relied on them, both families and the people suffering from the illness themselves, were dumped into society to fend for themselves”

There were a number of exposés and scandals during this period that led to a general backlash against putting people in institutions, yes.

For example, Geraldo Rivera established himself as a young reporter by exposing the terrible conditions at Staten Island's Willowbrook State School.
So by your logic the guy that exposed 2TB of videos of rapes and tortures in Russian jail recently should have stayed in Russia so that he can face the music and get some first-hand experience? After all he broke laws in Russia and exposed 'secret government data'?

If Russia is not good enough to face it's courts, how does your argument hold up if someone alleges that neither is US?
