Sigh, let me clarify: I trust Google more with my DNS queries than I do Comcast.
First, grandpa will have to move eventually. 90 year olds in Ukraine got caught up in a war they had nothing to do with and had to move.

Second, if the neighborhood gentrified around grandpa, his house value has gone up - he can sell at a good profit and use the money for his retirement as he wishes.

Third - consider the counterfactual renter who was living in the same place and working just like grandpa, but had to move at the age of 60 because he couldn't afford the rent anymore. Why does grandpa get to stay but the other person, who is a renter with the same life story get forced out of the neighborhood?
Why not solve it like social security? You pay in over most of your life, then retire. If you call the fire department after you’ve retired, they’ll still come because you spent a life time paying into it.
Thank for for writing and maintaining this for so long. As I wrote yesterday, it is my single favorite piece of programming literature in existence.
Neural networks can be trained to identify the difference, but I don't know how specific that is to the generating model. In fact, the GAN technique, at a high level is two networks -- one trying to distinguish the difference and one trying to create images that cannot be distinguished. That is the "adversarial" aspect.

It is an interesting question that there may be some simple pre-processing techniques (edge detection, Fourier transform, etc) that more easily distinguish the image as a fake. Something like a shortcut from training a network to make the distinction.
That’s pretty bad, though - if I’m in my 20s and in good health, I’d definitely prioritize, say, rent over high-end health insurance.
> you have achieved sameness, you have an iPhone.

You mean "....you have iPhone". Gotta get the weird marketing right if you want to be in the club.
In what fashion does Rust prevent you from calling valid library code that has unexpected behavior?
After a few more years where you have to scale these systems and redesign what services do and create competing ones that exist in parallel, you may find yourself back in support of non-descriptive names.
> And then in the Championship against Spassky he won 12.5-8.5 (+7-3=11)

TBH in that match Fischer started his shenanigans about demanding all sorts of things which most likely unbalanced Spassky - who was known to be somewhat lazy - so with all the political pressure and mind games he likely decided that he doesn't care enough.

The match was actually not that top-level chess as it is presented in chess mythology. Reshevsky [1] said the following things about it:

"True, there were several excellent games, but the
match as a whole was disappointing. It was marked by
blunders by both players. The blunders committed by
Spassky were incredible. In two games, for example,
Spassky overlooked a one-move combination. In the
first, he was compelled to resign immediately, and, in the
other, he threw away all chances for a win.
Fischer was also not in his best form. He made errors
in a number of games."

... and he is also very critical of how Spassky was prepareding for the match. So a well-prepared Karpov would likely have been able to dethrone Bobby, and I think Fischer knew it, and it played a big part in why he had forfeited the defence.

Many of the houses abandoned in Detroit were abandoned (and often torched) due to the ridiculously high property taxes and lack of value returned by the city for those taxes.

It's hard to justify telling land owners to pay high property taxes when the city delivered the highest crime rates and worst performing schools in the nation in exchange for those tax dollars.
I've always heard the same thing. I have some questions, if anyone has answers.

1.) Is WebAssembly better about timing + buffers?

2.) Is JS have a WebGL-esque lower-level interface with audio hardware planned?

3.) I believe Electron grants more local permissions. I know Electron has some modernization hurdles (ESM still I think) but wonder if it's any better or the Chromium process within it has higher affinity than a proper browser. Not quite "web-based" but maybe a better option as your project gets more complex.

4.) Is it possible to have a buffer that "renders" separate from any loops themselves? If you can't time a drumtrack in real-time accurately enough or "play" an instrument you could certainly have it render N millisecond ahead.
Do you think Apps should not be Sandboxed on iOS?
It functions like a tax in that it decreases the net amount that you receive for working (more). If you lose 40 cents' worth of benefits for every additional dollar that you earn, it doesn't matter that your "real" marginal tax rate is only 25% - earning an additional pre-tax dollar only makes you 35 cents richer, just as it would if your marginal tax rate were 65%.

Also, while some of those benefits are less fungible, others have phase-outs that are functionally identical to taxes at the margin. For example, if you get subsidized health insurance through healthcare.gov, every additional dollar that you earn directly reduces your tax refund by up to ten cents, on top of your marginal tax rate.
it's an interesting issue technically.. if only we didn't have to suffer its reality :)
Land is not equally valuable so you can't look at the total land area of the USA and declare that everyone should be entitled to one tax free plot of land, land in the middle of Manhattan has a different value than land in the middle of a mountain range that's covered in 20 feet of snow half the year and is only accessible by helicopter.

Most old do not live in assisted care. And healthcare is independent of land ownership.

I didn't say "assisted care" my father lived almost his entire life on his own, but still had assistance from his children and occasionally a home healthcare worker - this is a lot harder to do if his allocated tax-free plot of land is 100 miles from family or healthcare services. Healthcare is independent of land ownership, but isn't independent of location - after one medication change, he had to go back to the doctor daily for monitoring for a couple weeks, then weekly after that for 6 months. How would he do that it it was a 4 hour round trip to the nearest healthcare facility?
I would say that the majority of people don't notice StereoKit uses regular raster for font rendering! However, that number is definitely not zero, and there's definitely people that can spot it right away, as evidenced. Designers in particular would probably spot it right away.

I'd say it's primarily a question of polish and feel! Those that can't spot it right away would still prefer SDF fonts in a side-by-side, and the difference becomes much more clear if you start getting your head really close to the text. I consider it to be an essential feature for a 1.0 version, but not a blocker for right now.
I love the technology behind this stuff but the number of applications with negative social benefit seem to outweigh the rest.
People outside the industry really undervalue talented QA people - yes there are hordes of 20 year olds that have always wanted to "work on the fortnite" but their productivity compared to someone long in the industry who understands how to effectively test, can write clear test plans and knows the importance of reproduction steps and who understands test automation... it's a night and day comparison.
Which specific companies have they been cherry picked for? Are there any set of numbers that you would like more to generally capture the concept of large tech giants?
Just like with healthcare and internet service, America often pays a lot more while getting a lot less. Just because America paid more for its mass transit doesn't mean they were better designed, more pleasant to ride on, or that those system are well maintained. It could also mean things like our public transportation had to cover more ground, that unique challenges in geography increased expenses, that politicians were wasting tax payer money in exchange for kickbacks and favors (no-bid contracts), or companies were simply overcharging Americans for the work.

Real, meaningful investment in infrastructure and improvements to the environments people spend their time in can do a hell of a lot more to prevent crime than cops do. There is a lot of research to support this. I don't doubt that if we invested more in making our mass transit systems better and more enjoyable to use crime rates would drop.

Here's a start if you want more information on the impacts of our environments on crime:

DNSSEC protects against that for well-configured domains, though you can't assume people put in the effort.

You can use ODoH (https://blog.cloudflare.com/oblivious-dns/) to double-encrypt your DNS requests and forward them through an external server, disconnecting your query from your response, and encrypting your upstream DNS requests. You can pick any relay from this list: https://download.dnscrypt.info/dnscrypt-resolvers/v3/odoh-re... (need to de-base64 them to get the actual domain) and any upstream DOH server you prefer.
It seems clear that the hypothetical company would meet this definition, and the regulation would completely defeat the purpose of the proposed company.

I don’t know how useful this particular hypothetical is, but it’s definitely a “code smell” that the proposed company’s seemingly only options would be to limit sales to retain the “not a gatekeeper” status or stop doing business in the EU.
This couldn't possibly be more wrong – we need fewer engineers, not more. We face two inescapable realities:

1. Hardware engineers should be located near manufacturing facilities, and should speak the same language as factory workers.

2. The economy in its infinite wisdom is signaling that Software engineers are more valuable than hardware engineers. Assembling and optimizing the logic of human society is an extremely productive task, and results in huge profits for companies. For unit of time it is more productive to write backend software which controls the behavior of physical objects, than to re-design physical objects to be marginally more efficient.

There are lots of engineering grads getting jobs – in East Asia, earning a fraction of the salaries here, and working 12 hour days 6 days per week. US engineering graduates are retraining en-masse to be software engineers. The average newly minted hardware engineer graduate has a very low chance of finding a job, and will likely end up earning less than a skilled laborer. The lives of talented Americans are valuable, and should not be wasted learning unneeded skills.

Mail Must Move.

Or at least, that's what I have been telling people for the past few weeks now. Because when mail is stagnant, it gets lost. It disappears into the abyss that is called your inbox.

Now, when you don't use your mail that often, this is not so much of an issue. But as a professional that is heavily dependent on their email to do their work, it can be pretty frustrating and slow you down even.

Grouping, tagging, marking as unread, smart folders, dumb folders, it is chaos.

Email is outdated, but email has a purpose. And that is why we are starting on a journey to change the way you interact with email, to make it more fun and efficient.

Meet Mordon.

Totally agree. But to run with your frame of reference point if I may, it’s also important to look at those events from other’s POV. I’m a larger, older man. What I find mildly uncomfortable on a late night bus alone might feel absolutely dangerous for my wife. Or someone with disabilities, etc.
My preferences and your preferences are irrelevant in terms of how our cities are constructed. Many areas on this side of the Atlantic were built after cars become common, and many people who bought new homes in those neighborhoods during post WWII expansion preferred driving their new cars.

I don’t get to change that now, unless we tear my entire neighborhood down.

I suspect the area you live in was settled prior to the ubiquity of cars, and thus, was designed for people without them.
Not if you're retired on fixed income. My parents' property taxes kept going up year after year in upstate NY -- one of the deciding factors when they moved. It's a shame because my dad put so much into that property.
They did, really.

If you think they're going through the hassle to ship a font file but sleight-of-hand install a different font, then why do you think they wouldn't also go through the hassle of further hide what they're doing? For instance, replace a preexisting font you wouldn't think to look at?

If you think it's honest-to-god malware, then provide evidence that it's malware. Installing a font does not make software malware. Checking for the presence of an installed font is not malware.
This is the real issue. Apple Music being a firm default. The U2 thing can be deleted from Apple Music. It exists because it was released that way a decade or so ago. It got pushed into everyone’s playlist as a purchased album, but can be deleted. I have no music at all in Apple Music for this reason. I prefer silence over this.

My problem is that I have to turn off BT on my phone for various reasons. Yet, no matter what, when I start my car it turns back on my phones BT setting and reconnects. (Eg. If my wife is playing her phone, then we stop for an errand, and get back in it always goes back to my phone.)

I'm looking at this exactly from the perspective of jobs like medical professionals, infrastructure engineers - I have worked in power infrastructure and have relatives in medicine - where locally none of them are on-call (because the law proscribes this clear boundary); they do 12-18-24 hour shifts of work time, and once the shift ends, they can be (and often are) unreachable. It's not vague, it's extremely clear and simple. Even in a low-volume alert-monitoring position for infrastructure where you might get a few incidents per week (so zero incidents on a median shift) every shift is work time, and scheduled appropriately.

It's not about the number of pages you get, but about the differing expectations on boundaries between your employer and your private time. I do have a strong expectation that employers should not be able to set any restrictions of what people will do in their non-work time, or even ask whether the employer will be out-of-service this weekend, in my opinion that is crossing a line.

As I said, it's entirely reasonable if you get a handful of pages per year and service them - I also have been in roles where I got a handful of night calls per year and happily did what was useful, and I'd expect that in most cases that's okay for most people. However, if it becomes a requirement where I or you must be "on alert" for a whole week, then IMHO that's not reasonable anymore; I answered those calls but I had no duty to be ready for them and abstain from activities that make me unreachable, and if I had a contractual obligation to do so that would be unreasonable (and also a void, unenforceable clause violating employment law). And if you did not volunteer for it but an employer "pushed" this unreasonable requirement on you (e.g. as a condition for employment) then I would actually say that this violated your human rights even if you got zero pages per year; employees should have the practical right to freely decide how they spend their non-work time during the week (and they should have appropriate non-work time) no matter what contracts they sign.
It's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. If anti-depressants were so effective, people wouldn't be flocking to psychedelics for treatment.

Stimulants are the most useful medication we have found for ADHD. Without access to them, what do people with ADHD flock to? Caffeine, Nicotine, Alcohol, Cannabis, etc. Substances that are stimulants or can have stimulating effects.

I am no woo-woo person, but perhaps our bodies when flocking to something are trying to tell us something? Alcohol also works great for anxiety (and super dangerous), so we created benzos in alcohol's image (though I think benzos can be just as dangerous for some).
The analysis doesn’t go far enough. If you want to stop speculation you should tax land not property.
That's what you get for not minding that a logging library needs over 300,000 lines of code.
> E-mail was an absolute disaster because there was no barrier to entry for someone who just wants to send unsolicited garbage to everyone.

Email spam is possible because of the expectation that you can contact someone you've had no prior interaction with. (Also, it at least used to be quite easy to spoof the sender address because participants couldn't cryptographically prove their identities, but we now rely on tech like DKIM to mitigate this).

Messaging apps have an easier job because the services can refuse to deliver messages to people who haven't already received your public key (or some short, per-contact, pre-shared secret).

In fact, email encryption could also work this way, if users first had to send a standardised introduction message, and servers rejected any further messages until the recipient had marked the sender as trusted.

As far as I can tell they still own the images they just license your use of them commercially.

You don't need to have gone to Stamford. If you have worked for a VC-funded startup, you likely have a path to a VC intro. If you haven't met a VC investor directly, you can ask one an exec to intro you. Its also worth checking to see if any coworkers have gone off to start or join startups as they can also intro you to VCs. It's also possible that some ex-coworkers may have joined a VC firm.

If you've only worked for big companies, it's probably worth checking to see if they've created a venture capital arm. Many do, including Coinbase, Google, Optum/United Healthcare.
brokers are still a win for landlords because it allows them to actually do nothing.

They don't need to post on streeteasy.

They don't need to host an open house.

They don't need to answer any questions on email or over the phone.

They just have to pick a couple brokers and hire a super and they're done. They don't even need to pay them because they have the tenant for that. They just wait around until the broker calls to let them know there's an approved tenant and wait for the checks to show up.

The only effort they have to engage in is when it's time to evict someone.

A tenant in NYC might want a broker if they're going to be stuck paying a broker fee anyway. You might as well have half of that fee going to someone who represents you and might help you avoid getting completely fleeced. Then they have a broker on their side coordinating viewings and dealing with emails/phone calls.
Google pauses hiring for 2 weeks.
Google earnings call in 6 days (about a week).

If they were going to beat earnings, it seems like they wouldnt take this action. If they were going to lose on earnings, and if they were going to have to layoff as a result (two big iffs), I would expect that they would stop all hiring. Like they just did.

Lot of big iffs but is there a better answer here?
I thought DALL-E uses a sentence-piece encoder for the text that goes into CLIP, which would suggest that you can recombine the syllables from existing words and it'll "understand" that.

So both "banana chocolate cookies" and "banacoochoconakieslade" should work.
I wonder what Magnus' suggestions for the WC format are. It's very well known that current classical format has the issue of a lot of memorization/theory. To me the issue does not lie in the time format as a lot of people here suggest, but the format of the game. I would appreciate if a couple of chess 960 (Fischer variation) games were added to current format to determine world champion of classical chess.
I think this new rule only applies to property that is inherited and not lived in by the inheritor (e.g., rental property or vacation home). If you inherit a home and live in it, I think you can still keep the old property tax basis. There may be some dollar value limitations or other rules I’m not remembering though.

EDIT: just checked, the property value can go up by $1M from when it was purchased without the inheritor owing additional tax. [1] Beyond that, tax is due on the incremental additional appreciation. In reality, this will only affect properties in a few metro areas (Bay Area, LA, OC, SD) and certain beachside properties. This isn't to say that the law is good or bad, just to describe the scope of its likely impact.

How would raising property taxes lower house values?
A solution has been long in place in the US for commercial vehicles. It's called IFTA. It's possible because commercial vehicles have to report their mileages to authorities frequently anyway.

During the last two years, my family has ordered 46 times from them, and - other than three instances - the order has been perfectly executed. For those three, we contacted Chipotle, and we got an apology and partial credit.

Conclusions:

* My family eats too much Chipotle.

* YMMV. Apparently, the branch we order from is run by a manager that cares about accuracy for online orders. That clearly isn't true across the board.

* Chipotle probably knows this, which is why they're generous with credits.
The only thing I don’t like about MidJourney is the Discord based interface. I think I can grok why Dave chose this route as it bakes in an active community element and allows users to pick up prompt engineering techniques osmotically… but I’d prefer a clean DALL-E style app and cli / api access.
I would agree that it is not.

The government, and many people, have moved the definition and goal posts; so that anything that has the end result of a non-proportional uniformity can be labeled and treated as bias.

Ultimately it is a nuanced game; is discriminating against certain clothing or hair-styles racist? Of course. Yet, neither of those are explicitly tied to one's skin color or ethnicity, but are an indirect associative trait because of culture.

In America, we have intentionally muddled the waters of demarcation between culture and race, and are starting to see the cost of that.
