That article seems to imply that a decent percentage of the 239k "empty homes" are not actually fit for habitation, at least not immediately.

For comparison, England apparently has 24.7 million "dwelling units" so that's about 1% sitting empty for more than six months.
I tried reading the Bible, but it's full of horrifying violence, superstition, and prejudice. Not to mention supremely boring. If you can trudge through all of that turgid, stilted mythology, more power to you, I guess. It certainly doesn't represent my moral principles or philosophy of life.

Another way to say that, is that bigotries are so difficult to extinguish because they are so often predictive. That is, it may be an adaptive strategy to presume that I am an asshole due to my age and gender, until I demonstrate otherwise.

But "just" does not equal "adaptive".
I've met a member of the YDB team at a conference in Moscow, a nice polite guy. I doubt they have any say in the company on the compliance of the company with the Russian law (let alone on Putin's antics), they are engineers, not lawyers or political activists.

In my experience, there's a higher percentage of, say, Navalny supporters among Russian programmers than among the general population. Russia's most popular engineering blog, Habr (kind of like Reddit for engineers), is generally distrusting of the government, comments that openly support the government are usually downvoted. One of the trending topics there is relocation outside of Russia. Hate against Russian programmers, in my opinion, is completely misdirected. The project is open source, using it does not sponsor Putin's war machine. I think collaboration is a better strategy in the long term as opposed to isolation and bullying which can turn the last sane Russians away from the West, playing into Putin's hands. We should judge people by their actions, not by their association with a particular ethnic group.

>I think eventually they will be paid about equivalent to a construction worker (currently $40k). Maybe less since they dont have to be onsite or in good physical shape.

I used to think that. But the reality is that the vast majority of humanity is simply incapable of performing even basic programming tasks. It's so far outside of our normal day to day experience, that wrapping your head around the level of abstraction required even to understand a hash map is a massive undertaking for an average person. It's nothing at all like handing someone a hammer and showing them how to drive a nail. Being a dev is currently in the top 5 professions for earning potential and quality of life. Why isn't everyone doing it? Simply because they can't. Programming is really really hard, and it requires a certain combination of personality, drive, and intelligence that is far from common and can't really be taught to those that wouldn't otherwise figure it out on their own.
They're using an absurdly wrong inflation metric ("shadow stats"), so all bets are off. Adjusting for dividends is polishing a turd.

It's interesting how housing in some countries is seen as a store of value (mostly the anglosphere) whereas in others it's seen as primarily a utilitarian purchase (continental europe and japan)

If I had to choose between the 2 models I'd probably pick the euro/japan one, just out of the logic that you need a house to live and hoarding them for wealth generation seems to have a lot of negative externalities on the economy. It's not really a productive use of capital.
I'm working on applying this technology to housing as we speak, you're very wrong IMHO.

Yeah some people are going to loose jobs over this, happens all the time. People are not isolated from the market, they function on it and need to take it into account.
The “relicensing” file, found higher in the directory tree, expresses Fabrice Bellard’s intent to relicense his tcc contributions under an MIT-style license. So that file is available for use under multiple licenses, even if it only explicitly mentions the GPL in the comments.

From the article:

"CLIP is trained on hundreds of millions of images and their associated captions..."

Does anyone have any insight as to which images were trained on? Was it all open-domain stuff? And if not were the original authors of those images made aware their work was being use to train an AI that would likely put them out of work? Were they compensated appropriately?
Ramp up the voltage and you get a nice "smoked" flavor.
We do in fact have an affordability crisis in Canada. I bought a home in a small town outside Toronto (too far to be a commuter town) in 2017 for $425000, and sold it in 2020.

We're friends with the people that bought it from us and on the same street in that same small town in Ontario, houses are going for $1M+ now. This is not entitled millenials wanting to live in Vancouver. This is the place where things are supposed to be affordable. This is exactly the sort of place where Boomers love to tell us to go live if we can't afford the city.

Housing is cheaper if you are willing to relocate to e.g. Swift Current, Saskatchewan where a 2-bedroom home with 900 square feet will cost you $175000, but of course there are very few jobs in a small town of 15000 people that's 3 hours away from the nearest big city and the unemployment rate is among the highest in the province.

Gaming is going to get so interesting with these emerging technologies. I played A.I. dungeon sometime ago and I was amazed at how good it was at making up believable stories on the fly.

Now imagine joining this with dall-e and you truly have a game which has never existed until now, with it's own story and graphics that you are creating on the spot.

Unlike the adventure games like King's quest where everything was pre-programmed, this is truly infinite never-ending game with a unique experience for every single player.

Like the guy from the '2 min papers': what a time to be alive. I feel so happy and excited just thinking about the possibilities these techs are going to bring.
I had a web app that was making perhaps an unreasonable number of concurrent requests. Every now and then, pretty regularly like 1 in every 20 full page reloads it would fail somewhere along the line. I switched from the lib I was using to XMLHttpRequest directly and it worked reliably with little in the way of cluttering the code as I made my own minimal wrapper without the features I didn't need from the lib. That was quite a long time ago and the lib has likely had whatever the problem was resolved.
Yes, added. Thanks!
Similar, less included in the distribution. Doom to me generally feels a little more opinionated but easier to reason about.

They’re both quite good at what they do, and they do similar things.

Oh?

Its just that we would like for those with very little knowledge of their own governments war crimes to pipe down a little with the...

targeting of civilian infrastructure, the torture, rape, and murder of civilians that Russian government is pursuing RIGHT NOW and has pursued... Narrative.

It comes across as dishonest at best.

Who do you mean by western nations? Which western nation has been at war in the last 50 years? I have a premonition that whatever "western nation" you are talking about is probably not part of the ICC because they do not want to be charged with war crimes...just a wild guess.

So please save your feigned indignation.
The LinkedIn scrubbing is the most obnoxious part of this IMHO - we've learned to expect IoT companies to go out of business or just stop supporting a product at this point, but the people involved trying to pretend they weren't is ehhhhhhh

Learning it the hard way is beneficial. But perhaps implement it the easy way. :)
> it'll take 28 years before he'll have earned more than he would have if he'd kept his $90k/year job.

Sorry, I'm having a brain fade here. Are you talking about the time required to make up for lost earnings (and ignoring that the current 112k is not a fixed amount the way a salary generally is)?
> Adjusting for inflation using shadow stats, you'd still have lost money.

Major red flag -- shadow stats is a hyperinflation fantasy. Of course it looks like you'd lose money if you think inflation is orders of magnitude higher than it actually was.

Recently I came across the AMP website at https://amp.dev/ (after some years since first seeing it). It’s really remarkable how much Google wants to pretend this is an industry standard and not their own little fiefdom. I don’t see the word Google anywhere, not even on the About page.
This is a LOT to put on a PO. I hope they have help.
Any phone, even a dumb phone have an attack surface. It's probably worse than a high end smartphone as they are cheap phones without much focus on code security.
I think bookkeeping may be a related catalyst. But it's primary use seems more for inter-societal trade (settling accounts), than intra-societal education.

Bookkeeping is not the only prerequisite for written language, e.g. in the new world, sophisticated bookkeeping mechanisms existed for centuries without written language.
Even before all the housing craziness it was often worth it (if you had the money) to buy a house in a college town for your kid(s) (especially if you had more than one going to the college) and then sell it when they graduate. The cost of ownership over those 4+ years would be cheaper than renting/dorm life, and give more options.

It would become even MORE worth it if you rented the other rooms to other students.
Maybe it's because there is more features on the openai websites?
for exemple with GPT, you get different models, different templates, a playground, an api etc...
Say I get lunch on a business trip and lose the receipt, I now can't expense it. In a world where I never keep receipts normally this happens all the time. Being able to recreate a receipt so I can expense looks super cool.
Working on opensource is fun if you're paid to work for it!

What's not fun is being an unpaid open source maintainer that has to deal with toxic "open issues" by ungrateful people on the web.

I wish github would have a system where you need to donate $1 to open an issue and it's down to the maintainers to decide whether it's a good issue or claim the $1 if the issue opened is kinda toxic.
I don't think they're calling Cockroach experimental right now - rather that it was experimental in 2017.
Spent a lot of time trying to get PyTorch and CUDA to play with my 3070ti yesterday and finally gave up and made a CoLab notebook. Got a pipeline working and trained a multiclass classifier, but the f1 is in the toilet. Might try a different dataset, then maybe a tensorflow implementation next if that doesn't move the needle. Hard to believe the accuracy could be this bad compared to a linearSVM baseline, must be giving it the wrong x/y labels or something.

Blaming foreigners for your problems is an eternal classic. Appeals to our tribal instincts I guess.

That fixes the problem of "US declining to Argentina levels", but now you have a new problem: did the world economy contract by 67% between 2000 and 2020?
Any time you see some supposedly authentic ancient document, and it ends with "and all of the above is really true, and really written by who its says", you can be reasonably confident it has, at best, been doctored. Actual authors don't write that.
AMP is probably the single worst thing Google has produced. But as a Pixel 6 user, I think the real solution to bypassing AMP would have to live at the VPN level. Using Firefox Nightly as my primary browser, I don't really get AMP search results. The place I see it is in Google's news feed on the right side of the home screen. Brave wouldn't solve my problem there, and I already trust Firefox more.
> Think long term. Eventually AI will be able to do most of human jobs. As a result, products and services will become cheaper. As a result, people will have to work less for a living. As a result, more people will be able to draw and paint for pleasure, and not necessarily to make a buck.

This is ahistorical. The fact is that you must at least seem to produce more market value than your total compensation in order for a company to hire you. There will simply be less people who make a "livable" wage while those who own these automations will become increasingly wealthy. Depending on how the market changes, there may also be increasing unemployment. But why would that matter? Unless unemployment gets too high, the market will continue to work as usual.

There's simply no reason for the owners and inheritors of an increasingly automated economy to share the value increase with their workers. The worker's wages will be market-determined just as before. Perhaps if unemployment gets too high it will be in their interests to offer something like UBI, though no reason for anything beyond what's strictly necessary for the economy to function, and the minimum required to avoid excessive social turmoil.

It'll be interesting in a couple years when prices are still crazy and someone has to come up with an excuse for why.

It's amazing to me how resistant people are to the idea that housing is expensive because there aren't enough homes for people to live in. It's always a search for exotic explanations like foreign buyers and mysterious empty apartments.
> The state of California cannot mandate “no cut in pay” by employers

It can specify no cut in full-time pay for an employer for substantially similar work, on both an individual and overall basis (the current text only does this on an individual level, but that's not all the State could do. E.g., “The minimum hourly wage shall be the greater of $X/hr or the 5/4 the actual wage paid by the employer to the employee on date Y or the 5/4 the average wage paid by the employer to employees doing substantially similar work on date Y.”)

It uses data from both Google and Bing, but reorders it substantially. In addition, they use data from their own index and some different sources. The interesting part is the ranking.

Ah, I think I get what you were saying, company A is billing company B hourly so employee of company A needs to track their time even if overtime-exempt. Yeah, not necessarily "rare" in tech, mea culpa.

The blog post seems to only be referring to same-site requests for XHR, whereas your response is only referring to cross-site requests. A more complete correction would be:

XMLHttpRequest always sends browser cookies for same-origin requests. They are not included for cross-origin requests unless explicitly requested. Fetch does not send cookies by default for either type of request, unless explicitly requested.

Also note that the server must use the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header for the response to be made available to the client code when making a cross-origin request with credentials.

What's funny is the Russian ultranationalists think tank people have been talking for some time about how they need a sovereign internet like China and how all the pro-west liberals were exerting too much influence on tech policy in the country to do that project. However, because of the war, the pro-west liberals all immigrated so now all the tech people left are patriots and they can really get started on that project.
This seems to be a thinly disguised bit of content marketing for the author's consulting practice.
like the other response pointed out, that's not my interpretation- there's a diversity of viewpoints, and that's the interpretation that I was taught by the Church I went to and by my parents.

I commented to expand on what looked like a really simplistic dismissal of an honest question... and you tell me there's disagreement (ie multiple viewpoints)... which was the entire point of my post.
I'm not saying they should be treated the same. I'm saying that "there's no discrimination because the majority agrees there's no discrimination" would not be accepted in almost any other scenario.
> Instead, the EFF argues, LinkedIn should join the EFF in "pushing Congress and state legislatures to adopt consumer and biometric privacy laws that would prohibit services from collecting people's sensitive information without their consent."

Would be an interesting turn of event if LinkedIn started to lobby for a US GDPR.
Going beyond A/B testing in the context of websites (for customer conversion purposes), I think that having a bit of statistical rigour is something many marketing teams lack as part of their practices. My own marketing team brought me a chart showing that our sessions were down and I asked them, "is it statistically significant?" They had no answer for that. So I asked them to compile several years of data so that we could do a bit of analysis and find out some basic metrics like the mid-quartile range of values over a long time period.

If you have very little data, which is the case in many B2B marketing scenarios where your customer base may be in a niche, it's super critical to avoid making conclusions from averages without paying attention to the distribution, which might be very wide.
You obviously don't live in a red state. I was a leftist teacher in a very red state (as in, it was called from Trump within a minute of the polls closing, while half the state still had open polls). There's many times I had to watch what I said around people and not speak my mind for fear of possible backlash if students told their parents or if news got out among the community of some of my beliefs.

Looks pretty good, I'll give it a spin soon as I'm trying to migrate from Doom to a vanilla config.

One thing's that seems to be missing is that option to disable those pesky backup~ files.
The root cause of the supply constraint that ultimately gives real estate it's value is the land, and more specifically, the land being in a particular location. For example, a row of condos built right next to a major employer of the town, in the center of the city. That land is going to be valuable so long as that town exists, and as the population continues to grow, will only become more valuable. Adding more houses won't reduce the value of those condos the same way that adding more lanes to a highway doesn't reduce the congestion.

The idea that houses are appreciating assets doesn't come from some fundamental law or ideology. It comes from recognizing reality. There is only so much land where people want to live, and population tends to increase (we are talking about urban and suburban areas, of course), so the demand and price increase. It's pretty simple, really.

NIMBYism, zoning laws, permitting, those are always familiar and convenient boogiemen for people who don't want to do actual analysis of market factors. But, what you are really wanting to argue against is private property ownership.
>but it's easily disabled...

No it's not. That's about as buried as it gets without hiding it in about:config.

"Easily disabled" would be a button right next to the ad that said "never show me this dogshit again."
