This is the kind of thing I'd expect to see more of if we deregulated the building industry. A handful of friends could put up a house like the one shown in this article pretty quickly and cheaply.

> > There is one issue with the developers - they have less incentive to build enough homes to actually drive down prices via market forces because it means less profit for them.

> People were building their own homes for centuries before there were "developers". I would argue that over-regulation has made it extremely difficult for small builders or family builders to attempt to build their own homes. Only large corporations with a legal team can run that gauntlet.

> If regulation were reduced, we'd probably see a lot more small time builders, or people taking classes to learn how to build their own homes, cooperatives being set up (possibly organized through Y Combinator startups dedicated to that) where people could Amish-style bring a community together to build homes.
I think the latter two cases are different because it ultimately comes down to property rights; (b) may be harder to reverse but if you can do it, you still own it (remember the AMD pencil mod? https://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/tbird/) (c) is, being a software decision and thus tied to licensing and such, feels more like "you can't use the hardware because we said so", and that arguably is what people hate. It's a slippery slope in the same direction as the "you will own nothing" movement.

Of course there's a slippery slope to a hardware-as-a-service pay-us-x-per-unit-time-or-we-turn-off-your-CPU, but with competition from AMD on x86 and in-house ARM chips from Apple and hyper-scalers, one would think Intel wouldn't want to make their product even _less_ attractive.

...and what makes you think AMD and others are not going to try the same thing?
Bribe and blackmail seem a little more reasonable in that context. However, it seems that you are talking about free ranging goats in the actual national park. In that case I think no compensation should be paid since the rancher is already making use of a public good. Then the ranger should assume the risk by himself.
And of course, claims of wolf attacks outside of those national lands should be supported by physical evidence. DNA testing is quite cheap, it sounds that Spain i simply doing the compensation payouts wrong.

The value of browsing a brick-and-mortar (especially stores with new -and- used books, and great employees) is what it's all about for me. Looking through the sections of interest, discovering options I might not have heard about. 'Shipping and handling' is built into the price (including special orders). (Amazon: 'starting at $5.99') No packaging to throw away just adds to the pleasure of avoidance.
Draining lakes is a good topic right now.

Check out some articles about the floods in Canada right now; a big factor is the draining (it needs constant pumping) of a lake for farming.

draining did produce a lot of really productive fertile land. So maybe the cost benefit makes sense maybe you can do the math for us!

Many dictionaries aim to be descriptive, not prescriptive, as doctor_eval said. That definition doesn't change that:

OED: "The Oxford English Dictionary is not an arbiter of proper usage, despite its widespread reputation to the contrary. The Dictionary is intended to be descriptive, not prescriptive. In other words, its content should be viewed as an objective reflection of English language usage, not a subjective collection of usage 'dos' and 'don'ts'. However, it does include information on which usages are, or have been, popularly regarded as 'incorrect'."[1]

Merriam-Webster: "Merriam-Webster is a descriptive dictionary in that it aims to describe and indicate how words are actually used by English speakers and writers. Generally, the descriptive approach to lexicography does not dictate how words should be used or set forth rules of "correctness," unlike the prescriptive approach."[2]

OUP: "All of Oxford Languages' content aims to describe, rather than prescribe, the way languages are used by people around the world."[3]

I believe your definition comes from one of the Oxford dictionaries - iOS lists it as coming from the Oxford Dictionary of English, and Lexico (a partnership with Oxford, whose About page links to [3]) includes it[4].

> What do you mean by "false"? Did you forget the LA riots?

that's not a tactic. that's an isolated incident in a riot which occurred 30 years ago.

the GP said protestors had developed a tactic, implying recency, frequency, and deliberate planning; not that rioters had done it one time, spontaneously, in one isolated incident, 30 years ago.

that's what I meant by "false." GP said something false, so I identified it as false.

I have found that working on making applications accessible is meaningful. It makes financial sense, as it opens up new business. Mostly though, it’s just the right thing to do. It gives access to groups of people that have historically, tragically, been overlooked. Personally I work on administrative software, so it helps open up job opportunities.
these aren't simple absolute definitions; go around determining what is what, and you bump into reality. There are definite roads that have a few businesses and homes on them, particularly rural roads. They are still roads. It becomes a stroad when it's trying to still be for distance-travel but has constant homes/businesses/intersections. Between that and limited-access freeways, there's a fuzzy middle that is road-enough without being a stroad yet.
On a 3+ lane road, it increases the risk of two people merging into each other as they both try to pass.
this is absolutely true, when you startup your car it will become immediately obvious because the engine exhaust sounds will be tremendous. Basically all those exhaust strokes of the engine pour out directly to the atmosphere never making their way to the muffler which muffles their sounds.
I believe this practice actually started out with the enterprise stuff, i.e. the "large corporate buyers", and if anything, they are more likely to not care or embrace it.
> for the most part they didn't leave a written record of what things were like before

Europeans and Native Americans interacted. They observed each other. They talked to each other. For quite some time.

Kondiaronk [0] was a highly respected chief, statesman, and political philosophizer. Louis Armand de Lom d’Arce spent time in North America and wrote a book based on his dialogs with Kondiaronk [1]. This book was famous for a while. It contrasted the freedom and justice Indians had for themselves with the injustice of Christianity, subjugation to lords, and the problems associated with money and other facets of the European way of life. The book precipitated a lot of philosophical soul searching, an off-shoot of which was the idea of the "noble savage", which was used to eventually discount any ideas these primitives had as irrelevant to civilized modern people.

I'm not sure if I understand your comment. Are you saying that Kondiaronk would not have known how Indians lived?

you can get a catalytic converter for a Porsche 911 on eBay for $1K. what are you driving that you need $10K to replace the cat?

it wouldn't make a difference, because arguing that you can commit murder in response to theft is obviously completely ridiculous, and flies in the face of all relevant legal principles and precedents going back at least to the root of our legal system, the Magna Carta of 1215.

but I am nonetheless curious what on earth you are driving where the catalytic converter costs ten thousand dollars.
If a car has been parked for a while, the thieves can handle parts at ambient temperature rather than 900 °F.

Right, but it won’t impact the livelihood of the victim which is the reason the person I am responding to has justified violence in response to catalytic converter theft. For what it’s worth I think people should be able to defend their property with force- but at least let’s be clear as to why.

I mean... that feels scummy, but on the other hand, when they've got a mask that has N cores and the yield is good, they fuse off working cores to get the lower core SKUs the market wants. There may be many customers that the IBM model works for.

Some of explanations sound (no pun intended) as Woody Norris best-known invention, HyperSonic Sound technology (HSS).

I remember my reaction the first time I looked at some code produced by FrontPage: "what the fuck?"

No, no one in this thread is using that vocabulary. I am, because I think that's what people are describing, and it makes me sick.

I'm not misinterpreting a thing you said. No, I'm looking at exactly the situation you are describing:

I'm in my house. It's 2am. I see a couple of people in my driveway fucking around under my car.

And you're saying that a valid moral decision is to leave my house with the intention to kill someone?

That is seeing a situation that you know you could leave alone, and choosing to introduce lethal force. That is fucking hunting for conflict to a degree that is absolutely frightening.
Also, according to a 99PI piece on concrete dome houses in the US, the indoor aucoustics gets really weird.

That is the well established definition; no need to assume it for the sake of argument.

However, "capable of feeling sensations" is defined in different ways and thus leads to the large differences in when people say a fetus is capable of feeling pain.

Is it when the nerve cells responsible for emitting pain signals develop? When a fetus is capable of responding to pain? Is it when the circuits develop to route those pain sigbals to the part of the brain associated with conscious perception of pain?

All of those thresholds are crossed at different stages of fetal development so which threshold you use will change the answer you give for "when does a fetus become sentient?"
I once had a serious learning experience driving from the suburbs into the CBD to meet friends. My attempt coincided with a Zombie Walk that bisected the city. It took me forever to reach where I was meeting friends, then another forever to find somewhere to park the car (all the paid parking was full) given I had to radiate out and cross the zombie parade again. Took 90 minutes to do what would've taken 5 minutes normally, or maybe 10 minutes on foot. All for one person in a car.
If the company's gone through a down round, it's very likely they took funding on unfavorable terms (i.e. worse than 1x liquidation preference), which makes it that much less likely your (non-preferred) equity would ever be worth anything. Take the cash offer (though, if you're in the US and have 4 years of experience, $120k is a bit of a joke too; you should be able to do substantially better even limiting yourself to full-remote companies).

> Let's talk about how to make sure it's net positive! How do we built things better, where do we improve, what are the weaknesses?

I think what puts people at odds here is that the conversation on your side is "how can we improve the model we're creating" while the other side's conversation is "we don't want this model at all".

Wrapping everything in a financial model is like giving us handcuffs to wear, then asking how you can make the handcuffs more comfortable.

Hyperscalers have already been bought in for years. There's custom Amazon, Google, etc. silicon in Xeons that either gets fused off in the general case or needs a secret MSR knock to turn on, or what have you.
My understanding from previous reading is that after just one or two staff suffered vague symptoms, the rest of the Havana staff were briefed that they may be under attack in some way, and to be hyper vigilant. These are the perfect circumstances for mass hysteria.

Sabine is doubtful of such a prospect because her analysis seems to be based on the idea that mass hysteria must arise from newspaper articles, and those were written much later, therefore mass hysteria unlikely. That seems like a silly assumption. Such events commonly occur in closed or tightly knit communities or institutions, like schools. An embassy/intelligence station is such an institution.
> Note that a finite state machine is actually the most powerful known physically realizable form of computation. Your laptop is actually a FSM

I’m under the impression that our computing machines are LBAs, not FSMs. Linear bounded automata are practically as powerful as Turing machines. Sipser gives a nice introductory treatment of the subject.

> It only becomes important if something in the universe actually computes one of those functions that cannot be computed by TMs

Or the universe isn’t a computer and doesn’t compute anything. In that case computation is just a human concept that reduces to moving pebbles (calculi) between various jars.
Sounds like python and Youtube-dl would be a good fit for this.

> The minimum guideline is 33% of income for a single child, non-deductible. US/CA taxes take ~55%, so that leaves 12%.

This is flat out wrong. California child support payments are done out of "disposable income", not total income. So you would pay 15% in child support and be left with 30% of your income (actually you would pay less as California allows you to deduct things like health insurance and other necessary expenses in addition to deducting taxes).
...this post? If you didn't realize this art was generated by computers then I guess that proves my point.
Intention matters in our framework of law. "If the driver isn't paying attention" is a key factor and it means that no, you aren't justified.

No one accidentally steals a catalytic converter. You have to plan it ahead of time and you need to acquire special tools to do so. This is not a crime of opportunity where maybe you find 100 bucks cash in a wallet on the street and you just grab it.

As for the first point... we I don't know how to convince you but those people exist. For us, the privileged software developers, you can dial in to work and submit code remotely. You probably get paid enough and get PTO to take a couple days off work if you can't make it. But there's ppl who are not so fortunate.

I don't have examples of ppl who became destitute, but look at this news story where the school faculty by this janitor a car: https://youtu.be/XqyvWqYVHcU

Look at 0:17 where he describes a 4 hour commute with 3 separate bus lines

Now if someone was trying to steal this man's catalytic converter, and he shot them. Well of course it would definitely depend on the exact circumstances, letter of the law, and charges pressed, but at a glance I'd say man, I understand it...
Really loved this. Thanks for sharing.
For sake of argument I'm building a 160m2 house (on the larger size for my part of Europe) and the materials and labour costs for all the exterior walls came to €15,000. Admittedly that's not a finished wall as we'll need plaster on the inside and insulation on the outside (we used clay air bricks, so in milder climates the insulation could be skipped). The same volume would need 15 shipping containers - I doubt you could even get the raw containers for that price.

Considering we'll probably be spending close to €300k in total, that's not a very big expense. It's also quite quick, it took a team of 2 people less than 2 weeks to build. So far we've been waiting 3 months for windows to be made.

At least surge pricing makes sense - when there are more fares than drivers, the fares have to pay more to be picked up first.

With CPUs, it's less intuitive - The people with DRM-hamstrung CPUs are supposed to be getting a cheaper price subsidized by the people buying the product at full price. The cheaper models otherwise would have to be sold at the full price.

That's not to say that Intel's prices are necessarily fair at any tier...

Reminds me of the Canadian electronic music duo Front Line Assembly who thought it was a good idea to name their side project "Download" in the mid 90-ties.
The first thing to know is there's a community of people using POWER9 workstations, whether for actual "work" or just as personal computers for, well, personal use. In both cases, web browsers are very important.

These devices support basically all the DRM GPU drivers in Linux, and when coupled with Mesa, have very fast and responsive GUIs. Both Firefox and Chromium run well, but up until now, Firefox has been using a pure interpreter to run javascript. This is fine for sites not using much javascript, but a big chunk of the modern web quite literally loads megabytes worth of JS on a page, and it can really chug under the interpreter.

So it's pretty exciting that we'll have a second browser with a proper JS engine, Chromium being the first (IBM ported V8 to ppc64le, for node.js, but the port works for running chromium as well)

Also because it may not be clear, the other big arches all already have JIT compilers. x86, amd64, 32 and 64 bit ARM, (and I think MIPS does, on either chromium or firefox, don't recall), so this is less about boosting performance, and more about reaching "baseline expected performance".
For developers there’s also the upcoming PineNote.

The RK3566 should be powerful enough for all the above.
