You should talk to people in Houston.

It effectively has no zoning which means you get oil processing plants built next door to elementary schools.

The Austrian Economists will jump in here and say that's why certain private property developments buy the equivalent of "sky rights" (or "land rights" I guess) with adjoining properties to effectively create their own zoning.
Oh interesting, we can just rephrase other people's thoughts to the least charitable version possible to complain about the world being unfair?

Thanks for the reply I will definitely go check it out. I don't mind putting in the time and effort and a solution manual will definitely help.
I happened to be in a in- construction facility being built for a F100 company and saw they were using Samsung "digital signage" TVs for the meeting rooms and lobbies. Fairly certain these TVs will never connect to the internet outside the company firewall so they must be designed for that.

I imagine for the typical HNer: Reasonably fit at school, let themselves go abit since working full time. Might go to the gym for strength (10% probability) or keep fit generally (30% probability), but very unlikey to do a lot of core work / yoga / gymnastic type exercises. Doing a plank for example would be difficult.

This is my guess.

> When it comes to growth, Britain’s politicians will the ends but not the means. They run scared of the homeowning elderly, who turn up to vote and make up a growing share of the electorate. So tax rises are heaped on businesses and workers instead, further harming the economy. The government has likewise watered down its plans for reforming the planning system—because elderly homeowners object.

This is it - over taxing and over regulating productive activity eventually leads to less growth and lower standards of living.
There’s still a risk of being the next Detroit. Those office spaces didn’t need schools. Didn’t need showers, laundry. As you retrofit the cities cost goes up and tax revenue might decline further. Leading to a slow death event.

Sf would be smart to make deep cuts now to free up budget. Going as far as putting a ballot initiative to end maybe prior proposition earmarks.
You are being overly pedantic to the example he provides. Let's do a more classical example - should they government stimulate job growth in the glass and construction industries by smashing windows? No - the world doesn't become a better place even if there's a growth in GDP from the economic activity of increased glass making.

Some jobs simply produce more goods or intellectual property than others (or better facilitate such production). The main point here is it's not good for governments to misallocate resources by encouraging more ~0-production jobs for sake of low unemployment.

This is what happened in the NYC financial district post 9/11.

Companies didn't want to move back into some of the office buildings so they were converted into residential housing.

I remember dating someone who lived down there and looking up at the ceiling and mentioning "Why do you have such weird drop ceilings here?" This is where I found out her apartment used to be an office building.

Not necessarily. Speed is actually very easy to come by if we push down quality to the level of "wrong answers infinitely fast", which trivially allows you to achieve as much computational performance as a broken clock. As well, if you write code solo or in a small team, you will almost always get a more consistent, higher quality result than if it's written at corporate scale because that eliminates incidental communication overheads that get reflected in the software dependencies(e.g. Windows Terminal's low performance is mostly an artifact of Microsoft's processes).

Jon and the authors of uxn commit a common fallacy in that they're chasing a brass ring of in-the-small performance metrics, getting it in the form of particular demonstrations, and then gradually accreting features to it until, most likely, they end up in a similar position to the old tech. Many software projects start off as the "light and simple alternative" and then develop into something not light and simple. This isn't necessarily an issue for any particular project, because if you know the goal of your tech, you don't need all the features and so can omit some things to claim a definite advantage for the application; but it's not in and of itself a solution to the general issue of making computing better, because it entails bespoken effort from expert practitioners, while the general trend in computing tech is the same as most industrial automation - it's quality-first. Quality comes first when you automate, because a superhuman level of quality can redefine what's possible, and it can compensate for the downsides of not being a bespoke, artisanal result.

The actual problem faced by language authors is that they face difficulty in defining quality while also generalizing the problem space. New languages are mostly "old concepts, new syntax and libraries" - still giving improvements in UX and therefore quality, but with most of the features carried over from previous languages.
I mean, that's kind of like saying it's fine to have your phone numbers in a text document on your phone, so why bother adding a contacts application, especially since caller ID isn't authenticated.

I get that it's out of scope and wouldn't be that hard at all to implement a wrapper that handles this, but without that functionality I find it much less enticing because I'm left to think about something that the other tool I use handles (and as you've noted, a lot more seriously too).
A lot of that just adds color overlays, instead of controlling the actual RGB values on the monitor. And they don't control brightness & contrast.
Another vote here for the matrixanalysis.com book. It is a really excellent book and takes a reasonably pragmatic approach to linear algebra. Coming from a programming background, you're more likely to find some things that resonate with you here. For example, this is one of the few introductory linear algebra books that deals with sensitivity analysis, which is useful to think about when dealing with floating point arithmetic instead of real arithmetic.
There's no free lunch. Everybody wants more money so there's no easy way to get it. Roughly the possible avenues break down to the categories:

1) learn how to provide exceptional value to people who will pay for it

2) take on exceptional risk in financial markets

Personally I think we are shifting into a new paradigm in society where the challenge for most people will be not having a drastic reduction in their standard of living, not figuring out how to get a luxury car.
Ok I’m starting a pig farm next door to you.
My prediction is remote work won’t last. Maybe for specific workers and tech must be the last, but other office jobs? They’ll be a slow but growing expectation to be in the office and the folks that show up will be the ones getting the desirable projects, the promotions and raises.

It might take a few years until we get there, but we will.
> can begin to address this level of innovation.

... this level of innovation? Come on, there clearly is something more profound happening here:

> Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe said "I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man"

> Seeing von Neumann's mind at work, Eugene Wigner wrote, "one had the impression of a perfect instrument whose gears were machined to mesh accurately to a thousandth of an inch."

> Edward Teller admitted that he "never could keep up with him".[296] Teller also said "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."

Modern science has started to discern fundamental differences in neural architecture[1] and function[2] between very bright and moderately bright individuals. Surely there is a multitude of small differences, which, by virtue of adding up at the right side of the distribution's tail, bring forward a mind superior to ours.

I think you are on to something. The USA has a cultural capital in LA/Hollywood, a financial capital in NYC, a political capital in Washington D.C., and technology capitals in the Bay Area and Seattle.

The UK has all of those too, but they are all located in one city instead of spread out across the country.
Following it is good, but if that’s not enough the answer is still going be something else basic. It’s probably never nootropics in practice until you get past several more kinds of boring stuff.

For instance, the best society wide interventions for kids still aren’t going to be fancy chemicals, it’s going to be better air quality esp. near highways and in schools, and that’s assuming we took care of maternal nutrition.
Healthy culture does not come from opposition of something (advertising, toxic people etc.), but from a positive vision.
If it was simply convergent evolution of technique you'd expect to keep finding similar tools across even longer spans of times and regions, well into the bronze age or something, right? You'd expect "rediscovery" of the tool in Europe, the Americas, etc.

You shouldn't be overly worried. Some companies are slowing or freezing hiring, some are doing layoffs, and a few are rescinding issued offers.

It is possible that you'll end up caught up in some of that. Not super likely, but possible for sure.

The availability of investment money has greatly decreased -- people are no longer willing to pledge huge sums of money to back companies with minimal revenues, no profits, and no plan on how they're going to eventually be profitable.

If the company that you're going to go work for is profitable, you'll probably be completely fine. If it's not profitable, the company might start to feel like all the free cash has disappeared, and things may get less awesome. If your company isn't profitable, doesn't have a lot of money left, and isn't going to be profitable soon, then you're probably going to end up looking for another job before this is all over.

But even if you end up without work for a time, engineers are still in demand. The problems that we can solve aren't going away, and companies will still figure out profitable ways to employ engineers.

Be aware -- pay attention to how your company is doing. But I wouldn't panic.
Mea culpa, my comment was actually irrelevant, I was thinking of another thing. Brain fart!
Glad it helps! I wish monitor manufacturers and operating systems would pay more attention to this kind of stuff.

> Unless [...] it is meaningless

This is just so frustrating. It's not meaningless, it's measured data. Could it be better corrected? Could there be other analysis done? Sure. But data is data, and the effect is extremely large. Cars with AP enabled aren't just safer, they're like 5x safer!

You can't wave that away with a innumerate statement about confounding factors. You need to counter data with data, and (despite millions of Teslas on the road now!) no one has it.

Is it really so hard to just accept that... the system is safe?
I've taught friends who had no prior calisthenics/gymnastics experience to do a supported handstand in an hour, and they were doing a few seconds of balance within a week. They weren't gym nuts, but they weren't out of shape either. Your average pacific northwest "goes on a hike every once in a while" kind of person.
Yup, like the Sangiacomo family, a bunch of slumlords who own more real estate in SF than anyone else, and have done nothing of note to earn that position other than hoovering up real estate and sitting on it while rents skyrocketed: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Angelo-Sangiacomo-one...

However, SF and California is largely run by a small handful of families who are "kingmakers." The Buells, Fishers, Guggenhimes, Gettys, Marcuses, Pritzkers, Swigs, and Trainas.

Not sure where this bizarre idea came about that people whose houses dramatically increase in value should:1) be able to avoid paying taxes on that value and 2) pass the house down, in whole, to their heirs without paying increased taxes.

Yes the actual finished FSD software release does not exist and Tesla does not claim it exists. There is a SKU you can pay up front for (in other words, pre-pay for) called FSD, so the SKU exists, but it does not yet exist as a released, finished software release.

A lot of people can't get their head around this level of subtlety. Those people probably should not have too much confidence in their take on this, but they do. Dunning-Kruger effect. It seems like you do get it.

Just for completeness to soothe anyone triggered by details missing here, certain features of the current beta version are enabled for drivers who have purchased the SKU. And there is also a full beta release that is available to some drivers who opt in. All of this does not mean FSD exists yet as a public non-beta software release.
Just did a little research out of curiosity and it looks like they've been trying to kill it.
I’ve found it to be an improvement.
All corners of the media fed them decades of lies about how it was the EU that was holding them back, and not the british ruling class.
> redefining “=“ to mean linear move is JavaScript level why the fuck did we do that.

IMNSHO this is another place where C++ has the defaults wrong. If you have both copy and move assignment, then move is the correct default. C++ didn't start out having move semantics at all, so this wasn't practical, but too bad.

From a pedagogic point of view the Rust choice is much easier to teach. Having taught move assignment, Copy is just an optimisation in Rust. Whereas in C++ you need to teach both separately, and it's understandable when people don't "get it".
As someone who has been in tech for ages, and yet also knew SF before its current state..I'd be happy with an influx of families and earnest weirdos. I feel the same about San Jose too.

I lived in the UK in the 80's and remember they had TV ads that showed a SWAT team stacking up and then bursting into an apartment, grabbing a guy watching TV on his couch, throwing him on the floor and handcuffing him and then a big banner:

"PAY YOUR TV LICENSE FEES. NOT DOING SO IS A CRIME."

If you've never heard of such a thing: https://www.gov.uk/tv-licence
You think it's the balance, but consider that the more strength you have, the less balance you need. For example with more forearm strength you will be able to lean further onto your fingertips. With more shoulder, arm, and abdominal strength, starting from a handstand position you will be able to pivot at your shoulders and bend all the way down to a planche position. So work on your strength, and handstands will become a lot easier.

I agree. I don't know what it would take to retrofit but don't NYC and LA have lots of old office buildings turned into tready lofts?

The Financial District and especiallyunion square area could be amazing if it was zoned for residential with commercial on the first floor. Parts of it could easily rival some of the nicer neighborhoods in Europe. For the larger buildings, make every 6th floor a shared space, put a restaurant/bar/clubhouse on the roof for residents to use and rent.

I have a friend who lives here

the top floor has a restaurant with nightly entertainment, party rooms to rent, tennis court, pool, gym, outdoor patio

I had an Accord. I never got a single false stop in 5 years. My mom owns a CRV. Same, no false stops.

Lots of manufacturers have ACC and collision mitigation. You’re right, Tesla didn’t invent it.

But I don’t hear constant complaints about other cars. I don’t hear people saying you “just get used to it” trying to stop on an empty highway. I don’t see other NHTSA investigations.
The answer is easy. Crime is down and so not oft reported in articles like this. VC funded articles and social movements are loudly screaming about it. VC / billionaire fanboys are happy to pick up the slack in the comment section.

It's pretty unlikely that office space/buildings will be retro-fitted for residences.

Why should it be this way, is there a Law of the Universe mandating every human shortcoming being some regrettable lifestyle flaw?

Did you do a write-up on this pattern? I'm finding myself in a similar situation lately and I'd appreciate the help a lot.
Wasn’t this approval based on an application from 2018?
It depends.

Simplest is to make additional tank(s) and add some fuel pump/valves/pipes.
Sure, it costs minus part of payload.

In some cases, of very good optimized designs, enough just to load less payload then mtow, to extend range significantly.
For example Mooney m-20 with 3 persons fly farther than with 4 persons.

Hard way, to install engine(s)/prop(s) with better fuel economy, and to optimize aerodynamics with better foil, larger wingspan, v-tail, winglets, laminarization, etc.

And it is not guaranteed to achieve extending range, by just do right enhancements.
For example, with An-2 modern upgrades, range not extended, but becomes smaller than on original design.

Some planes have extremely large number of variants, because extremely fortunate initial design accepts lot of additions and them constantly enhance characteristics.
I have a Nissan Leaf with lane following and adaptive cruise. It’s nice on road trips but it’s not something you can set and ignore. It’s just better cruise control that lets you relax a bit more.

If FSD is anything like the many videos I’ve seen I don’t want it and don’t think it’s ready for general use.

FSD seems like one of those problems where getting 80% of the way there takes 20% of the effort and getting the remaining 20% takes 80% of the effort. There is a truly massive chasm between adaptive cruise with lane following and FSD.
But rich people love that. They have all the money they want, so the only thing left to attain is affirmation of their opinions.

The hereditary aristocracy may be just a component of the ruling class, but they are a still a significant one, and it's one which the Tory party represents.

On the flip side, David Camerons grandfather was a recipient of slavery reparations which indebted the country for 150 years but created inter-generational wealth for a small elite of merchants, slave traders and the like. So he may not be a hereditary lord, but it's not exactly a far cry from it, either.
People seem to conflate a whole bunch of things with decentralization. It is not a 'keep data secret', 'avoid centralization', pick one type of thing.

Decentralization is not web3, it is not blockchain.

It is: Avoid having a central point of control in the system. Facebook centralizes both the servers, and the corporatation that controls the systems, for example.

10,000 blogs run on different servers by different people are decentralized.

Better example: email. Decentralized protocol and has the ability to keep information private for one person.
Look at a recent video of FSD beta on YouTube and focus your attention on the visualisation. I can’t see how anyone can look at that and conclude that LiDAR is still necessary or even incrementally beneficial.
The article has data showing that the number of access card swipes in buildings in downtown SF is 30% of what it was pre-pandemic. Whether or not the 10% statistic you cited is true, it's definitely not true in downtown SF.
