They also had a bunch of other adaptations for better Summer airflow. Large, open attics with multiple windows or vents, open to the lower floors (no doors in the way), to help hot air go up and out; high ceilings (an aid, not a hindrance, to cooling, if you're not using AC); floor plans and house placement that took prevailing winds into account; larger windows for better airflow when they're open, and usually on all sides of a house, roughly symmetrically (look at modern houses, lots of them have at least one side with no windows); big, straight, end-to-end hallways to let air blow through; and so on.

AC cooling efficiency requires abandoning several of these, and others are simply not given much thought because they don't matter if you're using AC all the time anyway. Which is unfortunate, because it shrinks the parts of the year in which going AC-free with windows open is viable.

This is actually what I've been doing. I haven't done anything actionable with the data yet, though. Beestat [0] has some great data break downs as well.

On a similar note: My house is only a single zone and I've been manually adjusting the dampers when fall / spring come around. When I find some time, I want to try to build something that will automatically adjust the dampers based on where I am in the house to create a pseudo multi zone setup with Home Assistant.

I think it’s hard to view ML generated code as the future when you see how powerful type-driven development can be with the likes of Idris and others.

Perhaps the best approach could use ML within the constraints provided by a type system. Does research like this exist?
The problem with all of these arguments is we are just shooting in the dark.

The day before Copilot launched, if someone had told me code generation at the fairly decent quality Copilot achieves was already possible I probably wouldn't believe it. I could happily rattle off a couple of arguments for why it might be better than autocomplete but could never write a full function. Then it did.

Who can say how far it's come since then? I think only the Copilot team knows. I wish we could hear from them, or some ML experts who might know?
Perhaps one should also beware of the study by one man. I have a vague recollection of hearing that, at the time Turing was expressing his opinion of telepathy, there seemed to be experimental evidence for it, but it turned out that all the evidence came from one person, using unsound methods (including, IIRC, counting "one before" or "one after" guesses as successes if the results had higher than the expected frequency of one of those outcomes.)

Tentatively, that person may be Joseph Banks Rhine.
Not so sure about this one.

> Even if you record every road with cameras in the world, a computer will make mistakes without radar or lidar, because he can not understand certain things without depth data.

2 cameras or more gives the same amount of depth information that the human brain gets. It's the brain that's doing the depth processing, this is an unsolved computer vision problem (but much progress has been made).
We’re not talking unconscious bias silliness here. We’re talking about literal fraud/misrepresentation and needing verification that someone is who they claim to be. Using our eyebulbs isn’t inherently problematic.
I think Rust's hygienic and declarative "by example" macros are very nice actually. You could of course do the same things with its procedural macros but that's messy and harder to maintain. Appropriate tools for the job, don't use a chainsaw to trim your rosebush.

People are just incredibly dense sometimes. My wife has a name that's one letter different from a more common name, but clearly different in pronunciation.

Nevertheless there have been countless times where people automatically substitute the more common name, or even worse in text messages manage to misread it and reply incorrectly.

It sometimes upsets her. The npc analogy is very apt, i guess many people are just very preoccupied?!
I think this is where statistics fails me. You (and a couple sibling comments) are responding to my comment with your experiences to the contrary, and I—never having lived in NYC—just don't have access to that.

This passage[1] probably sums up the difference between aggregate crime stats and NYC residents' own assessments:

> Looking at NYPD crime reports for 2010, 2015, and 2020, we find that about 1% of streets in NYC produce about 25% of crime, and about 5% of streets produce about 50% of crime. This is consistent across the three years, showing that a very small proportion of streets in the city are responsible for a significant proportion of the crime problem.

I wonder if this phenomenon is different in different cities. Are the "shapes" of crime all "spiky" in New York, but more spread out in Seattle?

This is exactly right, the most important thing that makes it a strategy is what we cut ourselves off from doing. If we're only hiring seniors, we don't get access to cheap graduates who can stay up all night. If we play a high line, we can't sit deep and wait for a counterattack.

The basic thing that makes a plan a strategy is it stops you from doing "the everything". A constrained menu of actions can still contain variability but it reduces the scope for total chaos that happens when you try to do absolutely everything.

It's quite possible that two opposing strategies can both work, but that allowing the team to do both at once will fail. That's called straddling. For example it's hard to appeal to exclusivity and the mass market at once, but businesses have done well doing one or the other.
How'd you get them to let you keep your @microsoft.com?
Yes, it's called common courtesy.
Nope, I think you got this right. I've been hit by this annoying buildx design when trying to get the manifest digest (sha256) of the resulting image for automation. Lo and behold since these steps are not discreet one can't just directly ask for the digest and would have to parse the command output.

I hope this is just an intermediate step towards a real solution as the idea is nice but the execution is severely lacking.
> Second, what color is the bubbly music museum next door? Obviously, this is a trick given it’s multicolored.

I went to the Space Needle three years ago and I wouldn't be able to answer that question. I wouldn't assume that someone who lives in Seattle goes through the Space Needle area on a daily basis; it's quite touristy.

This comes from someone who lives in touristy areas. Ask me what color a building is next to my statehouse (just walked by a few weeks ago,) or next to the famous place that Elvis was photographed by that I drive by almost every day, and I wouldn't be able to tell you.
Yep, definitely not illegal, although IMHO there things that are legal but still unethical. And the line of ethicality is highly subjective. There is sort of a limiter in place in that if it got too bad RH could kill it pretty quickly by not publishing all the SRPMs. Although if they did that, I think the ecosystem would fall apart. I would bail.
Part of my irritation is definitely a bad taste in my mouth still from Oracle.
When the DAs in Democrat-run cities stopped charging criminals. I think there's a case in Seattle where one guy assaulted 23 people, one at a time, and they just let him go over and over again. No charges.
Would you rather your fellow Americans losing their lives instead of Ukrainians defending their country and grinding the Russian army? Because that's the tradeoff being made.
It's possible for there to be no problem with white people, regardless of how "white" they are being, while there is still a big problem with structural barriers to others moving to areas that might otherwise be the best choice for themselves and their family. I think the parent intended the latter, pointing at overwhelming prevalence of white people (rather than - as you seem to have read it - overwhelming... intensity(?) of white people) as being an indicator of the persistence of such barriers.
Prestige sounds like "paying in exposure" that artists keep hearing about.
That's a fine idea when building a new house, but untenable for a house that is not being thoroughly renovated. My forced-air HVAC system is built-in, and replacing the register vents would run me under $2K at $100 a pop. Ripping up my flooring and installing in-floor heating would cost me tens upon tens of thousands of dollars.
I read that retrospectively, as:

~ But luckily, a lot of suits on Wall Street are making tons of money forcing the global economy into this put-all-your-eggs-in-the-Chinese-manufacturing-basket strategy, so never mind any potential risks to the larger global economy outside Wall Street in the second or third decade of the twenty-first century; those suits on Wall Street are making tons of money and that's the main thing, so everything will be fine, right?

And sure, it was -- for a while. And for those suits on Wall Street, it probably still is: They've made their [m|b]illions. (Not sure what you mean by "risk assets", but I do know this: If they're really risks, you and I will probably be on the hook for them, rather than those suits on Wall Street.)

- We have the accumulated knowledge of the entire human history at our fingertips and can avoid a large chunk (not all, obviously) of the pitfalls that befell our ancestors. maladies that basic sanitation eradicates, old deadly diseases like leprosy, polio, being eaten by lions, mass starvation ... those are things that are not a Thing in developed countries, and a lot more developing countries than before. The amount of people being lifted out of critical poverty worldwide over the last 50 years is another wonderful example.

- obviously we have new pitfalls our ancestors didn't ... but when was this not true for the human species? there's always been adjustment periods to new social changes and technology. The printing press created one heck of an information upheaval that changed power structures of institutions and nations, and yet it's considered a net good now.

- On a more individual scale, the human brain for some has a tendency to always need to worry or be anxious about Something. The ancients were simply anxious about other things. This has been a thought that's helped me from negativity getting in the way of the potential positives I could accomplish.

- "if it bleeds, it leads" is one of the truest quips about the news I've heard and seen. Simply logging off of news and focusing on local connections will do wonders for the mindset. What you see on TV does not equate to reality.

The point was that price is not a relevant criterion. There may be others reasons.

The EU isn't the whole world. Also, the EU bans new dinosaur-burning cars from 2035. Cars with ICEs running on something else (synthetic) will most likely remain legal.

For ICEs to fully vanish from the market it would take a complete ban or some disruptive technology that works better for all use cases, to make them completely non-desirable for everyone.

Yeah, it's not a hugely popular philosophy with the pro-human crowd, lol.

But really, what do you expect of a species barely differentiated from chimps? Genocide and in-group obsession is in our blood; we are cursed by our genes. It would be cool if something like super-smart ants took over for a while. Or flying dolphins.
I think the article mentions it because Unity primarily is with C#.
How does one differentiate? Say I spend some time looking at GPL code, learning the lessons presented, then writing my own code using what I’ve learned. Is this OK if I am working on non-GPL software? Is the answer different if an algorithm does the same thing?
Thanks for your work!

As someone else who's banged their head against seccomp and given up (put on hold) I have to say that you're missing one roadblock though. It's not enough that the kernel gets pledge(), but libc needs to cooperate too.

E.g. as I found in https://blog.habets.se/2022/03/seccomp-unsafe-at-any-speed.h... the first printf() you do will do a newfstatat() syscall.

So really there's no way for user space to know which syscalls will be called, just based on common sense. libc can call anything and everything.

And this is why I have less hope for a real pledge() on Linux.
That's essentially what zoning is, most commonly used to heat/cool different floors of a house separately without having to have multiple furnaces and AC units. If I understand correctly, you want the shut-off flaps or gates as close to the blower as possible for maximum efficiency—just shutting off the vents at the ends of the lines would mess with pressure and airflow in the rest of the system in undesirable ways.

He makes money off of it. There’s nothing wrong with that, but that doesn’t make him a charity, imo.

You could make the same case for Walmart: look at all the people (employees) they hand money out to! With many of them likely having much tougher lives than I do and thus being absolutely deserving of the money. But Walmart does it for the sole reason that it improves their bottom line —- just like Mr Beast.

Do you think Mr Beast would insist on spending millions in a video if he could create the same income from just “Giving $1.5 to strangers!” videos?
> RH doesn't have to bear much of the cost of the development of Linux, GNU, and many other products.

I disagree. RH is one of the top contributors to many of the major projects that make up the distro. Also the process of building/maintaining a distro is itself enormous. The 3rd parties have none of that expense so they can undercut the cost easily. In the end it hurts the whole ecosystem, while benefiting a select few.
The goal with Russia is not to attack directly but to destabilize and balkanize over the period of many decades. The goal is to be able to threaten it cheaply along a very long and exposed border not invade it expensively.

Russians themselves remember the hell that was 90s (westerners do not fully grasp how bad this decade was) when the USSR was balkanized and Russia was taken over by an American puppet.

Theyre determined not to have a round two.
Some negative things we're experiencing have silver linings

Clearly brilliant people saying that something that later turns out to be noise is statistically undeniable signal is worth noting. I'm not sure what you're seeing here.
The unsettling part is that something like Copilot requires a lot of the work that would need to create an amazing semantic-aware linter like no other on the market.

Instead, they decided to waste their work on that.
Please ask your physicists if they’ve heard of the Alcubierre drive. Not if they believe in it or if they have a debunk or it; but if they’ve even heard of it. I’ve talked to multiple ex cERNs and none of them have even heard of it but will be happy to say FTL is stupid.

(I’m perfectly aware of the outrageous requirements of the various Alcubierre configurations, but the point is before this it was considered mathematically impossible to do FTL. Now it’s just physical. The point is modern day academics are quite good at being very confident that everything except what they do is crap.)
I think the pessimism we are seeing now is the natural hangover from the period of optimism we saw in the post-war era. A lot of stuff just came together, and for almost a hundred years we've seen each generation get wealthier, have more stuff and more advanced technology than ever before. Pretty easy to grow up thinking that trend will keep on going forever. Nasty hangover when that turns out to be wrong. Periods of prolonged prosperity like that aren't unique in history, but have all ended. I don't really see any reason to think this time would be different.
> Russia has agency but that doesnt change the fact that NATO is absolutely an existential threat to it.

NATO still exists in the first place because Russia keeps on existentially threatening the rest of Europe (and is evidently willing to make good on those threats, as Ukraine is learning the hard way).

> With the horrendous things we did to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya... it's no wonder Russians want pushback on NATO encroachment on bordering states.

With the horrendous things Russia is currently doing to Ukraine, it's no wonder Europeans want pushback on Russian encroachment on bordering states. And unlike Russian encroachment, NATO "encroachment" is voluntary.

Tomorrow will be worse than today, but the next year will be better. Whether you're pessimistic or optimistic depends on your planning horizon. We're entering a societal winter - this means arrival of selfish people of high ability, they will bring darkness, using all the precious tech toys we've built - but when the winter ends, there will be another spring (in the early 60s, I think).
Their business model is mobile ads. The installer business was a decade ago, and prior to another merger with another ad network.

The concern here is hyperbolic. This is about ads, not malware. There is no rational reason Unity would want to get close to malware.
My point was that perceptions don't necessarily correlate with reality.
If you use a formal system with a checker/compiler, there are certain properties that you can guarantee with essentially total certainty. I’m not sure a stochastic system like ML can ever do that.

Perhaps there is research on providing mathematical guarantees and constraints on complex models like neural networks? If not, it feels like it would be harder to give a model a high degree of control. Although embedding the model in a system that did provide guarantees (e.g. using a compiler) might be a pragmatic solution?
Plenty of evidence of DAs in Democrat-run cities not prosecuting violent criminals.

In Portland mobs fully control the streets, drag people out of cars and beat them, they threaten people, while police is just standing and watching. This is on video, not propaganda.

If you are asking in the context of a moral framework in which monogamy is morally wrong, yes.

Otherwise, no.

If you think you can answer moral questions without reference to a particular moral framework, you are wrong—not morally wrong, just flat-out wrong.

There may be a universally correct moral framework, but unfortunately there is no way to answer the question of whether there is and which one it is that doesn't require adopting an unverifiable axiom or set of axioms that determines the result.
it's not really possible to add more insulation to them, unless you rip them off and do spray in insulation.
