As a consumer, I also no longer use startup products if I can help it. There have been too many occasions where some product I loved got killed because either they went bust or because “we’re so excited to share the news that we got acquired by google (or whoever)! Wow! We promise nothing will change” a year later the product is killed. Sigh.
Because there’s no reason for prices to drop yet. There’s 3 issues. Foreigners buying houses. Locals buying multiple properties. And supply. 1 of those issues is resolved.

The government promised 10k houses. It’s done something like 500? There’s no houses on the cheap for people to buy to push prices down. But many people trying to buy and rent that sellers and landlords are upping prices.

Atleast locals will haggle a price. The foreigners buying were paying above market prices despite never setting foot in the country.
This isn't my analysis; I stole it from Paul Vixie.

That many networks tend to block 853/tcp and not 443/tcp is, literally, a feature of DoT, not a bug.
>> The government tightened the lending rules so regular first home buyers and owner-occupiers can't get such a big loan anymore.

Agree, but don't single out first time buyers. Easy money is what causes the prices to rise regardless of who is buying. In the US lower interest rates lead to tons of ads for refinancing, and some people refi AND take out some cash to spend.

Home prices vary inversely to interest rates.
Does that really work for arbitrary DNS servers? If so, how?

I thought there‘s just a short, hardcoded list of known DoH-supporting DNS IPs.
> On the other hand, I think long haul trucking will be one of, if not the first job to be 100% replaced by self-driving vehicles.

I doubt it, trains and airplanes are as close to automated shipping as we're going to get for a while. Self-driving systems aren't anywhere near ready for personal transportation, and commercial shipping via automated trucks introduces even more complexity and liability.

I suspect that driving on tracks that aren't purpose-built for automated transportation requires levels of general human-like intelligence that we aren't even close to reaching with current approaches and tech.
Tax law changes don't change zoning policies or other political obstacles to construction. People exist with money willing to invest into construction if they could. People also like to hate on politically-connected 'greedy developers' but they create an environment where that's the type of companies that are going to thrive.

Maybe people here would do better to visualize it in startup terms where people are willing to put excess capital to use. Imagine you needed to get approval of neighborhood committees and so on to do a startup. Would YCominator still look the same? I don't think it would. You would have VCs that more about forming cozy relationships with politicians and poker brokers.
> The government tightened the lending rules so regular first home buyers and owner-occupiers can't get such a big loan anymore.

I know nothing about the situation in New Zealand, but taking what you say at face value, they are the victims. It's just that now, as opposed to bidding high on houses they could barely afford, they can't afford to enter the market at all. So things are even worse for them.
Not to mention that the self-driving vehicle used for elevator travel has been readily available and reliable for over a century, yet we still hire elevator operators in niche situations. Even if self-driving truck tech was perfect, it's probably not going to 100% replace the job. There will always be some outlier situation where the human is needed and replacing one or two people is never worth enough to invest even more money into automating for that specific situation.
> house transactions appear to be driven by irrational or ignorant participants

Right; so wouldn't those be the causes of whatever (if anything) is wrong, rather than bids being sealed? Give some irrational bidders open bids and they will have a bidding war instead.
> Well good for Amazon then that The Federalist Society has managed to install extremely right wing and anti-labor judges over the past few decades.

You need to stop to see the world in black and white. The Federalist Society is a corporatist / statist organization. They hate labor. They love big pharma, etc.
Def overthinking. Googit probably would have a quick shutdown notice.
They used homomorphic encryption to blind themselves. Utilized correctly, it would have no impact on the result, only on the team's knowledge of the substance of the data.

This doesn't really make sense as a long term trend though. If I recall correctly the Flynn Effect is something like 3 points a decade, so people born ten decades were retarded by today's standards?

If you look at older literature or school tests from the 19th century or similar it doesn't seem like people one hundred years ago were dumber than modern humans.
> but let's be clear here, nobody besides Firefox is going to respect user choice about using DoH.

I strongly feel like Brave would also respect users choices, even though they made some mistakes in the past.

It's interesting that most fictional depictions of legged robots (outside of explicitly humanoid robots) use digitigrade legs. Did the artists model their art after animals which happened to have these legs, or did they subconsciously realize that this would be more effective?

If raising interest rates causes a recession then we’re already in one and just pretending we’re not.

Consider the long term consequences of this debt economy. We’re just kicking the can down the road. It won’t magically get better. The sooner we (society) learn that massively over borrowing has consequences, the better.

I agree though that building more housing (or maybe radically changing the way housing works) should also happen. Maybe once everyone wakes up from this real estate debt fantasy there’ll be the political will to actually do something about it.

Average house price in Canada has ballooned. It’s like a crypto scheme, only instead of a bunch of shady YouTubers selling it, we have an entire industry of snake oil pushers. I don’t think your average Jane really gets how ridiculous it is… yet.

The details you listed sound accurate for the built-in GitHub-hosted runners.

GHA also supports bringing your own self-hosted runners [1][2] where you install their agent, so you could, e.g., use an ARM instance on AWS with tons of cores. It looks like CircleCI offers this as well.

> "Yet even though many health statistics have been improving over the past few decades, a few illnesses are rising mysteriously. From the early 1980s through the late 1990s, autism increased tenfold; from the early 1970s through the mid-1990s, one type of leukemia was up 62 percent, male birth defects doubled, and childhood brain cancer was up 40 percent.

That language is sloppy and imprecise. What's increased is the (I presume the rate of) diagnoses. Not cases. Phrasing it like that allows the reader to consider many plausible confounders instead of leading them on to the predetermined conclusion of the article, or at least appearing to do so. Has detection of that particular type of leukemia increased dramatically with new technology? Are there cultural reasons why diagnoses with few if any objective measures, like autism, are more readily handed out by doctors? There are plenty of controversies about how the contents of DSM, the book that spells out the gory details of psych diagnoses, are changing over time (i.e. DSM-4 vs. DSM-5).

The right conclusion might very well be the one authors are trying to suggest, but "helping it along" so transparently is unhelpful.
Are axios articles written by a neural network? Whatever that was was failing the Turing test.
1. IQ tests are actually showing higher scores over time. About 90 years of data on this.

2. We do not have genetic data to show that these mutations are happening. This is theory only without empirical data.

3. There's a lot of debate over the role of genetics and intelligence. It's very possible that our understanding and implementation of childhood development has a larger impact on intelligence than these presumed random mutations.

4. Intelligent people are more likely to pair with other intelligent people, so maybe there is still selection effect for intelligence. This effect could be increases as world travel means a greater geographic range for potential mates.
Even if Alex Jones is right, even if he was right all along, people are conditioned by the media to believe a narrative. Because the presenter of the information is not presenting the information in an appealing way, the information (false or true) is assigned the status of “unappealing”.

Some reddit clients have a "next top-level comment" floating button. Apollo does at least, and I thought the official client did too.
The 250MHz R4400 wasn't released in 1993 though. It (the NEC one) sampled in mid '95 on a 0.35 micron process, and the RISCstation 2250 that it shipped in was announced in December '95. The Pentium Pro was available at 180MHz at about the same time and soon reached 200MHz.

The EV5 reached around 500MHz in '96 though! The high end RISCs really did blow the doors off everything back then. The Pentium Pro was the beginning of the end for them though.

This. I commonly use !r many times day.
Interesting piece in that it names a few researchers like Choi and Lenat. Other folks are active in this field and making progress. The hard part of the task is making decisions that have answers that don’t correspond to an equation or an algorithm.

So much work in this field has essentially required building answers using humans to describe things logically or just ask people for answers and then find a way to index the answers in a way that a computer program can predict how to use the index to answer the question.

Google has spent a lot of money and research to find ways to use large data sets to find ways to recognize patterns without someone using either of the two methods below. Most things people write down or want to know as answers are the unusual cases or the rare cases.

This means that using data collection methods or statistical approaches like GPT-3 can’t extract the answers, because the answers to easy and common questions aren’t recorded as commonly as they need to be, and being able to take a lot of exact examples and know how to generalize them well enough to use the answers to find more is an active research problem.
Strange. Those networks must be using a protocol whitelist or something. Luckily, I haven't encountered any networks that will drop 853/tcp outright. All I have is anecdata, but I can't ignore that I haven't seen any reliable statistics about this topic at all. I suspect some businesses or sketchy ISPs will likely block any type of traffic that isn't either DNS or HTTP(S), I haven't seen anyone else use DoT, let alone seen any network care about it.

If I were to encounter such networks regularly (and would not have the option to change network provider), I'd probably switch the DoT port around to 443 or just go directly for DoH.

I think I’m not seeing either the original or the copy correctly, both look to me to have figures that come outward, and the copy is also flipped left to right.

Surely a straight copy made by pressing the original into something would have the dead body on the left, with their features going into the medium, not coming out?

Edit: I think I’m seeing the original wrong, I just can’t see how the figures stick in, rather than out.
Part of it might be because All the photos appear to have been altered to allow you to see the figures, as the true colour version is much harder to appreciate. See the true colour version here:

I'd say it's both mentally and physically exhausting. If I drive for more than a few hours, I'm spent both mentally and physically, as well as being sore, despite essentially sitting in place for hours.
From the limited work I've done in it, it comes off as poor for it's specific use as well.

As an example, one thing that frustrates me is not having access to the geometry of an object. I fairly frequently want to do something like "add this piece so that it's 20% down from the upper edge of this other piece". I've yet to find any way to do that cleanly, despite it seeming like a common use case. The absolute addressing system can be painful, since updating a piece can require updating locations in lots of place. Likewise, but worse, it's extremely painful to rotate and object, because your algorithms for finding the location break.

I've largely given up and use Fusion. I like being able to version control my models, but SCAD feels like I'm working blind with a hand tied behind my back, rather than making things feel expressive like they usually do.

If operating systems weren't so slow in adopting DoH Firefox wouldn't have to ship it themselves.
I've seen other instances where physicists working at CERN would blind themselves to the results of their computations while developing their algorithms, making sure the code was bug-free and physically accurate without running it "in production" as it were on the actual experimental results. This is to blind themselves to the actual statistics of the experiment so that "p-hacking" or manipulation of the results to fit a preconceived agenda is not a temptation.
When facing this situation most people start to focus on themselves. That's fine but I advice that you find ways to interact with others. Volunteer somewhere where you will make a difference. In tech you interact with a machine everyday. At the start there is a lot of satisfaction in learning and doing new things but at some point that thrill wears off. But when dealing with people that need help you'll get a lot of satisfaction in knowing you made a difference. That never wears out. Don't expect for people to crowd around you thanking you but if what you are doing is making a difference then you'll be able to see it. And that will be enough.
Yes. At least most places.

And what's worse, truckers often enforce their "rules" that aren't really laws. Like preventing zipper merges, which are proven to improve throughput when they are allowed to happen properly.
This is sort of like claiming that the spread of encryption is bad and dangerous because it provides tools to terrorists. The problem with the claim is that even if every person or organization producing end-user software stopped developing or supporting DoH, the cat is fully out of the bag. It's just technology at the end of the day, and any company making hardware that wants to hide their DNS requests is completely able to do so already. Some are even building VPNs into their IOT devices. This can't be stopped; ending development on uses of the technology that do benefit the end user is not just pointless but actively a bad idea.

There's also a weird conflation that happens between the claim that DoH is "anti-user" and that DoH is "anti-sysadmin". These are two completely different things. If you're a sysadmin who wants to provide a useful DNS service with some additional features on your domain / network, DoH makes it harder for you to do that. I fully agree with this point, and in fact it's a pain point for me because I run Unbound on my router myself! However, this is completely different from the claim that it's "anti-user". Most people do not have friendly local competent admins setting up DNS for them. Those who do are given the choice to opt out of DoH by changing their settings in e.g. Firefox. For other users, DoH is a massive security win. It absolutely makes sense for it to be the default. Anti-admin != anti-user.
> let's order a bunch of Starfire servers from Sun Microsystems!

I wonder if any doomed startups will order a rack from Oxide Computer. I hope Oxide's primary customer base is established companies that actually need serious efficiency at scale.
I don't disagree with you about the value of its security benefits from a technical perspective. But if you tested this against the top 100 websites to see how many have actually implemented it... well, I'd be curious to see the results.
PHP (or, in my case these days, Deno serving templates, typically nunjucks) that have https://htmx.org/ in them for interactivity gets you productive, quickly, for a lot of the tasks I need to do.

That said, React makes building even more interactive, complicated things simple, and is easy to hire for, so thats what we use at work.

I do think the world is still ripe for a PHP-like language. The template-style webserver-aware way of doing things, with modern features. Maybe one day.
Sadly Google Assistant does need to use the DNS setup because I play local media for announcements on it and every time the DNS is broken it stops working and doesn't play any local media anymore. Basically home assistant media player plays a mp3 which is stored on the raspberry pi on the Google Assistant, for example when someone opens the out door it plays a chime on all Google Assistants in the whole house so that my parents know that someone opened the door downstairs. The url will be https://myparentshouse.duckdns.org/local/open-door.mp3 so if the Google Assistant doesn't use the local DNS it can't resolve the domain to the local raspberry pi, and instead resolves it to the public IP address which then without the Loopback NAT doesn't go anywhere.

I understand that I should then instead of using Google Assistant for that to use something else, but I haven't found any free hardware which would have the functionality of good microphones and working speech to text yet.
Humans need to choose job families that will exist their entire working life (40-50 years). Even if the technology takes 30 years to develop, drivers will be 50 years old and forced into early retirement due to.

I suspect that driver shortages will get worse before they get better, b/c if we are "25 years out" from self driving long haul trucks, ppl will shy away from that job category so they don't get caught jobless before they are ready to retire.
> DoH and DoT both hide DNS requests from the sysadmins.

DoT at least uses a separate port which the network owner can block just like it can block outgoing connections for SMTP (tcp/25).

PayPal and (Amazon) have way more customers and their data ready to go.

I've passed over that learning hump, put some projects into production with React, NextJS, and Vue, and I still think PHP + native JS/HTML is the more pragmatic tooling choice. It's more simple, robust and easy to debug. I've been experiencing some other backend frameworks too, specifically Node and Ruby stacks, and the PHP ecosystem and language is ahead by a country mile.

I think if you want to pick a pragmatic toolkit to work with long term and kick the churn to the curb, PHP is a great choice for web applications and will continue to be for a long time thanks to it's diaspora.

IMHO the FSF also went a little too far trying to dictate how people go about handling violations in GPLv3, but it's still a good license.
I've had the opposite mental trend. In my teenage years and early 20s my mental abilities took a dive off a cliff. Especially during my teenage years, due to other factors as well as frequently being ill.

Now that I'm in my early-30s I feel far more creative and generally have the ability to learn at my own time and pace, as opposed to having to do so in a classroom environment.

I think the problem is a lot of people tend to confuse a decline in mental ability with things like work-related burnout, a build-up of invisible stress or other compounding life factors. Rather than assuming that it's tied to age, I think it's better to try and assess other factors that you might be ignoring or simply haven't thought of in a while.
Of a short time horizon, he's absolutely right though.

You wrote: <<built three brand new subway stations in the last fifty years>>

That sounds pithy, but it overlooks all the maintenance work done on the system. Have you ever looked at pictures from the NYC subway in the 1970s? It was hell. (You can Google it.) My father lived in NYC in the 1970s and said the subway was like the "Fourth World" (vis-a-via first/second/third world!).

Also, how about PATH, Metro North, NJT, LIRR, AirTrain JFK, or AirTrain Newark? These are not the NYC subway, but they have also seen major upgrades in the last 50 years.

Finally, I tried to Google for list of stations opened from 1972. It could not find a concise list. I'm pretty sure it is more than three, just for NYC subway.
He only commented that when self-driving vehicles exist, long-haul trucking will be one of the first jobs replaced. Not how long it would take.

I agree with him. IMO long-haul driving is the most ideal case for self-driving vehicles - the 'spherical cow' of physics. I imagine that they'll self-drive into depots right off the interstates, at which point humans will take over for the last leg.
