But land doesn't cost that much. Approved plots of land with an existing structure cost that much. Land itself is relatively cheap. There's a LOT of empty space in California. When you say land is expensive you're really saying that regulation is expensive.

The regulatory hurdles others have mentioned are why having a zoned and permitted structure is so valuable. Having a home so you can do a single wall teardown is worth hundreds of thousands at least - maybe more because it can clear existential regulatory hurdles that block development.

The nimbyism you mention is possible because of these bad regulations, which in theory exist for the greater good -- but which in practice do not provide for it.

I use the OTP Auth iOS app. I store encrypted backups of my 2FA code secrets in iCloud, and also in Dropbox. I save recovery / backup codes in LastPass (whenever a service provides them.) When possible, I will set up two or more 2FA options. I always have a small Yubikey plugged in to my laptop, and some services allow me to set up a Yubikey as well as OTP codes. I also have a backup Yubikey that I set up for all the services that support it, and keep this off-site in a safe deposit box. I also store some printed copies of critical 2FA code recovery codes, mainly for my Google and Apple accounts.
I’ve thought about this a lot when it comes to car seats. The paper implies 57 deaths prevented, but I see these stats often turned to a percentage reduction(53% reduction in deaths for example). Then when debated the change in the death as a percentage seems large, and folks automatically vote for these laws. We continue to chase small improvements because we aren’t looking at the actual numbers.
I don’t want it “whatabout” this, but…Is art really the thing we need to automate right now?

There’s so much labor that we more directly need more of and that we could all benefit a lot more from automating it.

To give a mundane example off the top of my head- street cleaning. I live in a big city (Berlin) which is often filthy with litter. Obviously there are not enough people cleaning it (or it wouldn’t be). Can’t we automate that instead? How about automating construction? Part of the reason housing is expensive are lot prices but surely a lot of it is also labor cost.

It just feels like such a frivolous and relatively useless thing to automate, and a misallocation of resources.
By the same logic, shouldn’t we increase the birth rate to grow the renewables market? That would eliminate the problem of resource exhaustion.

atomictessellator is about 90% functional, you can run experiments, simulations, and view results, it's probably "OK" to launch as a general product, but I'm really working on more advanced catalyst modelling right now.

The distributed computing parts are working, I've partnered with a few hosting providers that have given me free computing power and the systems are running molcular optimizations now, and every few days I pull the results back locally and import them.

I'm really excited about this stuff because there's so much opportunity for industrial optimisation in mastering small molecule chemistry, and existing tools are very poor and very silo'd

Ford is not allowed to sell direct to consumers in I believe 48 states because they already have dealers. They're apparently planning on spinning off their electric division into an entirely new company to get around those laws, but remains to be seen.
I’m not familiar with Thailand, but how are you not paying taxes there? Are they giving you a tax break?

I live in Taiwan and was contracting for a USA company. At the end of the year I walked over to the tax office, told them how much I made, then paid the tax bill. I was in and out in about 15 minutes.
I switched from Python to Go for API development and never looked back. Performance is great, deployment is a breeze and the compiler and type system are good enough that my code normally works on the first try. I've also been building AWS Lambda backends and Go is great in that role as well. Workloads complete much more quickly than equivalent Python code and use a fraction of the memory.
I agree. And the disdain towards a new way of doing things (especially in web development, serverless for instance) is impeccable.

Looking at the privacy policy, i only noticed "anonymous crash reporting and analytics".

In the Netherlands it is allowed for emergency transportation not to use a car seat but just the seat belt. Obviously this doesn’t work for baby carriers. This is the reason why the baby carrier is left with the child, eg at daycare, so that the child can always be transported safely.

If code and methodology is what you're looking for, there's some great open-source vector databases out there.

Milvus: https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus

Qdrant: https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant

Weaviate: https://github.com/semi-technologies/weaviate

Milvus seems to be the most advanced and best performing vector DB (https://www.farfetchtechblog.com/en/blog/post/powering-ai-wi...). Haven't seen Qdrant benchmarks yet but cool project nonetheless.

FWIW, these open source projects are how I got into the area of vector similarity search to begin with.
That would increase the costs, but so long as the demand (at that cost) outweighs the supply, there will be an incentive to keep building. If there currently aren't enough homes to satisfy the demand, then the reason why there aren't enough homes isn't that the costs are too high.

Another way to say this is that supply for housing is currently consumed by buyers who can afford the extra cost for solar panels. Until the supply is high enough to where buyers who can't afford the extra $Xk for solar panels are needed to buy the available new housing, the cost of solar isn't a major factor in the housing crisis.

It could eventually be a major factor, but until more housing is built, there are other factors in play that impact the lack of housing more.

If it is death by a thousand cuts, the problem is the thousand cuts, not any single cut in particular.
On top of what danans calculates, they are currently researching solar reactors that convert biomass directly into biofuel with sunlight, skipping the losses and costs of converting sunlight to electricity with regular PV solar.

Not often you see someone use their own argument against themselves. Why buy a desktop with a thin client laptop (that are not in anyway cheap) when you could just buy a standalone laptop.

This isn't even an argument, the decades of the laptops continued popularity say enough.
I think “permanent” just means they were not deferred, in this context.

If the births happened next year it would still be an 8k reduction in this year, but not a permanent one.
For me, it was pretty similar...but I was more affected by everything related to mesa and their decision to drop old Intel core generations (basically everything up to Haswell is broken with Vulkan).

The worst upgrade bug was around 2016 when mesa had a buffer overflow bug, and I had to apply the patch manually...and well, recompile mesa every time an X update came out or anything related.

On top of that the almost monthly archlinux keyring messups that need a repopulate, a different keyserver, or a deletion on the filesystem for whatever reason...oh man, I just hate gpg so much. I wish this piece of crap software would be more reliable. It would make my life so much easier.

I always have issues with gpg and pacman complaining about outdated or wrong keys, and then shit happens even when you tell pacman to not delete the package download (and when you start the init, repopulate, and sync of archlinux-keyring again). It messed up my system so often with remnants of packages, where I debugged X for days just to realize that a file was missing and the package got uninstalled automatically.
Seems that instead of bar hopping on bikes, you could instead start patronising one of those bicycle bars, which allow you to gain the health benefits of pedalling and the alcohol benefits of alcohol at the same time. And you still get the bar experience, as between drinking on the bike you stop at pubs and drink there as well.

These also use the existing car infrastructure (as they're usually 6-10 passengers drinking + the driver (who stays sober for obvious reasons) and thus about the same size as a transit van), no specialised bike infrastructure is required.

You’re wrong. If you want to properly install the seat, it’s going to take at least 10 minutes for someone with practice, and a very frustrating half hour for someone without practice. Latch or no latch.

The permissible lateral movement specs can be hard to hit even if you know the tricks.
Is it? I'm not in the demographic that would buy one, but it seems that for a contractor that doesn't tow tons of stuff or drive long distances it would work well, especially with the outlets.

Maybe I'm missing something but say a landscaper or a carpenter, wouldn't it work for them? What kind of scenarios would involve towing heavy loads?

After reading the article you linked in another sibling comment's response, can you point to an example of what a true RESTful service looks like.

>"A via connects the power (or ground) metal wiring to the silicon layer."

Would those vias be what's labeled here in this diagram as "metal contact" above both the source and drain then? Is it just for simplicity sake that they show it having a one to one relationship?

Microcontrollers started (oversimplifying a bit) with calculator-based chips: the Intel 4004 (1971), TMS 0100 (1971), TMS 1000 (1974). The Motorola one-bit processor is from 1976, so it's a later chip, more of a strange branch than a precursor.
>Like, it's not unusual for the state to make more in sales tax from an order than we're taking in margin

Is that supposed to be notable or surprising? I've assumed lots of retail businesses that sell to the general public at full price only make a fraction of the sales tax.

Absolutely the first possibility I thought of is Best Buy, and the first Google response is net profit margin is 3.2%. Sales tax in my area is 8%.

Even if that's a bogus number, it feels truthy?

If the government does get a big discount, it would be interesting to explore where that comes from.
A torrent file only contains a hash checksum of the data and a tracker url (basically a "link" to the tracker). A magnet has the same hash but uses the DHT to find seeders while a torrent file looks for seeders connected to the tracker.

Personally I don't see that as being materially different to a magnet link.

The only difference is the DHT is acting like a kind of super-tracker.
There is nothing logically different between providing a .torrent file and a magnet URI. They both point you to the file.

If sharing .torrent file is illegal, then so is the magnet. The court doesn’t care about “Um technically there is a DHT in the middle here”.
I take it these economists don't believe in negative externalities.

It's not about what we need. Scientific research in this case has been the result of looking around and seen what can be done with the technology at hand without caring if it was what we need or don't. If you feel like "we" should be automating other stuff, you are free to make your own contribution, it's not like OpenAI owns the keys to the field.
You have to understand everything in this looks like a Russian play to harvest personal data, likely in an effort to create more believable puppet accounts on social media.

Can you at least confirm this is the case and not try to play it off like it wasn’t?
It's almost as thought economists have never heard of immigration. The world wide population continues to grow.
If car seats significantly decreased the likelihood of serious injury, I would expect that to result in a reduced likelihood of death. E.g. if car seats reduced the chances of head trauma, that would almost certainly translate into a reduced number of deaths as well.

Conversely, I think the fact that we don't see a reduction in the number of deaths is pretty good evidence that car seats also don't significantly reduce the likelihood of serious injury. Perhaps there are certain types of injuries that car seats are more effective than seat belts at preventing - but I would like to see some strong evidence first to justify making car seats mandatory.

The 'Medium' trend seems to most off to me, but I've seen it repeated as truth by a number of people

Medium: text -> images -> video -> 3D graphics -> VR

A lot of people/companies don't seem to appreciate that the appeal of images and video come from the fact that they represent 'real' (or at least staged-real) events/people/places. Animated videos and scenes from movies seem like categorically different kinds of things, less likely to get attention in news feeds other than as fodder for memes.

3D graphics + VR are never going to be real, and I suspect will never (or not for a long time) have the engagement of images + videos despite being ostensibly more 'immersive'.
As another Australian, I'm unclear why you think politicians preferred the opposite outcome.

The TL;DR of the case is that a lawyer involved in some criminal gang cases sued Google because the reports by newspapers about him were available in Google search results.

I don't think many Australian politicians would take the side of the lawyer in this case.

You're presuming there's no elasticity in supply. That even if pricing goes up there's not any additional units built.
Can’t scroll down the home page in iPad safari. Boo.
Yes. (I can never remember the official difference between contacts and vias, so I use them interchangeably.) However, an important thing on a chip is that you don't need to connect the source and/or drain to the metal layer; you can connect it to something else through the silicon. You can extend the source or drain (i.e. diffused silicon) until it runs into another transistor's source or drain. There's not really any difference between silicon doped for a source/drain and silicon doped for wiring. This is especially useful when you have a single layer of metal wiring, since you can cross signals by using metal wiring for one and silicon wiring for the other.
The alternative to not living near the river is to live on higher ground (and use the land near the river for agriculture, parks etc.). Given that there is vastly more land on the higher ground than near the river, I don't see the problem with doing so.
Derivative is a term of art with several different overloads. Critics will reach for the term to describe something that doesn't seem to do anything new; while lawyers further use it to describe a work that owes some kind of economic debt to the original[0].

The inverse of the legal sense of this word is "transformative". If you are making something new, then that debt goes away to the extent that such a debt would prohibit the creation of that work.

Generalizing from these concepts... we don't care so much that literally every bit of art is "based on" or "influenced by" something. We care if the end result is novel or not. This is very much an "I know it when I see it" kind of standard, so it might sound like I'm just talking in circles, but there is a difference.

Currently, it's difficult to get an AI system[1] to generate more novel images. There are certain patterns it knows how to do very well, and if you ask it for something that violates those patterns it gets confused because nobody's drawn that before. This puts us closer to "derivative" rather than "transformative", because it's harder to use the system for the latter purpose.

[0] Existing precedent and law specifically names a few categories of work that are assumed to be derivative; such as sequels and translations.

[1] I have only tried Craiyon / DALL-E Mini, and a handful of very primitive systems, both of which are not the most powerful image generators available.

How I Cured My RSI Pain
One one hand I support this because if you went to a for-profit college which provided you with no career skills and then went out of business, you need help. On the other hand, there is a massive population of people who went to a university of renown (on "good advice"), exited with a liberal arts degree in cartography and +$100k in debt, and who would now stab someone to get a job at Starbucks because that is their only way to get healthcare. They need help too.
There’s always going to be a performance penalty for React Native applications because of the JavaScript bridge, and on iOS you’re giving up ARC memory management for your app logic. For basic stuff you can write it off, but doing anything cutting edge like AR, custom graphics drawing, custom text layout and input, etc. is off the table. Even picking up a new iOS feature (e.g. focus filters) is a pain because you need to maintain a layer of bridge code, or wait for a third party module to catch up.

One somewhat direct comparison is Discord (RN) vs Telegram (Swift) on iOS. Discord has put a massive engineering effort into their app but switching channels still often feels glitchy and sluggish whereas Telegram’s layouts snap into place instantly. Telegram feels more solid, and it also properly wires up all the little iOS features like haptic feedback, pull to refresh, etc. whereas Discord mutes all of that and feels less lively.

Regarding constraint-based layouts, they can actually be much simpler in many cases because they help you avoid deep layers of nesting. They also ensure consistency (leading and trailing margins, safe areas, etc.) Again, trade-offs that deal in performance and uniformity with the platform.

For CRUD type apps, it probably doesn’t matter. But like I said those probably aren’t the types of apps native developers would be most interested in building.
Not my side of the pond, but clicking around on Gridserve I'm only seeing a maximum charge rate of 60kW. I haven't found a Circle K above 50kW. Ionity has chargers that go to 350kW.

For comparison, Tesla superchargers are 150kW or 250kW.

That metric shouldn't be interpreted linearly. You only really saturate a charger for the first few minutes of a charge when fairly depleted. Above 15% to 40% of your battery capacity the charging rate slows down (depending on what sort of battery you have).

As an example, a 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition can use 350kW chargers. Going 20% to 80% on a 350kW is 31 minutes, and on a 150kW is 32 minutes. That's negligible. If you start lower than 20% then there is a bigger difference, but I picked 20-80 because it might match a person that exclusively uses non-home chargers. Data from chart in: https://insideevs.com/news/567714/lucid-air-fast-charging-co... (Also, I suspect a real 20-80 test might show a bigger difference. The 0-20 part of that charge probably heated the battery up more on the 350kW.)

Use cases matter a lot. The only time I use a supercharger is when I'm driving more than the range of my car in one trip, 900km is typical of a driving day for me. I'll stop 3 or 4 times at super chargers. Other than that I just charge off the regular old wall outlet in my garage.

But if you live in a place without garages you will use chargers a lot and care about where they are located. I have to say a lot of the US superchargers are in odd places, like no bathroom available at night. Most of the rest are in the far corner of some enormous parking lot of an enormous grocery store. By the time you hike to the store, find a bathroom, buy a snack, and hike back to the car you are mostly done charging.

Which brings me back to the parent post… "Location!" I absolutely prefer a Circle K with a supercharger. Short walk, open 24 hours, grab a snack, and back to the car with time to check email and maybe HN before heading back to the road.
Cars are extremely dangerous to those outside them, so I'm more than ok with making them more expensive for even a little bit of safety.

If they're too expensive, people should take transit.

Cars should be safe, legal, and rare.
