The value of the structure rounds to $0 when compared to the cost of the land it's sitting on.

I don't understand people who paint the house and plant flowers outside before selling. The buyers aren't looking at that. They just want to see the dimensions of the lot and then bid a few hundred grand over asking. Once the paperwork is squared away, one morning an excavator and a dump truck will pull onto the beautiful manicured lawn and by late that afternoon the site will be an empty lot. A few months later the new McMansion on the site will be sold for a significant markup. On the order of 1-2 million dollars more than it sold for earlier in the year.

This is the real estate reality in California because people actually want to live here.

Yes, that's correct.

Interesting tidbit: the ratio of a circle to its diameter isn't necessarily always Pi, but Pi will always be Pi as long as the foundation of mathematics holds.
What if an overseas bank just claims they didn't receive your transfer when they did?

Others have covered the overseas part, but for the bank claims they didn't receive you're transfer part, I would expect that to show up on the settlement process. If there is a disagreement between banks, when they later check how much each bank owes each other, there should be a discrepancy the banks need to work out.

Note: not an expert in how ACH works or how settlement is done.

I think you touch on a good point. I think, like the automation of other skilled labor, the first jobs to be affected are the low-hanging fruit jobs. The ones where they just need something good enough. While I think tools like these will decrease the total number of jobs, I think the jobs left over will be ones that artists will enjoy more, as they will require more creativity than just writing a prompt.
Fair point. I am not judging you Im just trying to educate an uneducated reader and call a cat a cat: there is no "AI artist" thats a lie. Only "AI trainers". And youre going after the entertainment industry, not art galleries. And that new pen you give the kids come with a special paper that copy and exploit their creations.

Now maybe thats okay. Maybe there is no need to lie about it. If there is paranoia, it doesnt come from me I believe.
Yes it is my opinion of course, what else could I provide? But let's be pragmatic - there is an astounding amount of content in the world. I am not asking for a dot point summary as you seem to suggest, I am asking for cogency and well-styled economy of phrase. I mean the author of this post even says "But anyway, I’m getting off track here." in the 3rd paragraph. There are other easy to fix problems like run-on sentences, spamming adverbs, clunky use of cliches as concatenated adjectives ("can’t-see-the-wood-for-the-trees pursuit")... are you saying that you enjoy meandering through this 'style' of writing as you put it?
From my own random sampling of banks, I find the exact opposite - pulls generally have higher limits than pushes. This makes sense when you think about how the system operates.

A push puts the financial responsibility for fraud on the originating bank. Imagine account X pushes to account Y, and then account owner Y walks into the bank looking to withdraw cash. From Bank Y's perspective, everything looks fine. Later on, bank X finds out the push was fraudulent, but bank Y has relied on the transaction to dispense actual cash. Bank Y may help investigate, but they surely aren't going to be out the cash due to relying on X's false transaction.

Whereas the pull transaction (with Y as the originator), bank Y will put a withdrawal hold, scrutinize the cash withdrawal and ask if this is really their customer, etc, since there is no other party they can blame.

I also personally tend towards using pulls because that's the way the system expects to work since it grew out of checks. If one pushes money and it never shows up, then the blame is ambiguous. From the originator's perspective they've completed what you've asked them to do, and from the receiver's perspective they know nothing. Whereas with a pull, the main thing you're doing is asking the originator to credit your account. If the transaction gets lost without your other account getting debited, then the discrepancy doesn't really affect you.
Authoritarianism does not preclude communism. Likewise, their model more resembles fascism with all facets of life serving the government's ends. Which is the reason for my classification of it as Communist as fascism is a mere variant of communism. The fact that some disaffected communists disagree with Xi is quite common as Communists often disagree.

Given the platform costs, the lowend 7600X doens't make sense. AMD does some weird product placing...

I didn't expect to see them hitting 5.8Ghz [stock], wow!
>I just hope AMD is a little more ambitious than they were and book way more 5nm capacity. They have been way too conservatives with their forecast on their CPU side.

I doubt they've been conservative. AMD has less than $6bn cash on hand. They're prepaying for stuff what they can afford, which they've said in statements totals $300-400MM at any given time. Apple can wire $6bn to TSMC tomorrow if they need to. AMD just can't play in that game.

TSMC demanding tighter payment terms and more up front to reserve capacity is really not good for AMD.

A lot of the law we take for granted about copyright is really just a complicated compromise that worked out alright given the limitations of older technology. It's not some moral ideal. What about recording a song off the radio for your personal use? Or downloading one off Youtube? Or inviting your friends round to watch a movie? Or doing that but asking them to bring food, or it's OK if they just bring money instead of food and you buy the food, or they just bring money and you don't buy food but you let them watch the movie in your house, or they can bring their own friends too, or you're a full-blown movie theatre? There are no clear-cut boundaries of "stupid" and "own", just a complicated balance to keep things working well, we hope.
Indeed. I might considering applying now.
Pretty regularly. Every situation is different but generally I just ask myself;

Is the code-base sane enough / do I have the skills to patch or re-write it myself if things go sideways? Would I have written this anyway?

If yes, then I put a small abstraction layer between the api and my code, then put it through my vetting processes.

The questions I ask typically goe with any library, not just a pre-release. But the abstraction layer I'll often omit if it's a package that's been around for a while.
I agree with this. It's not infrequently that I feel I have a clear idea of something, only to try writing it out and discover that I don't.

Most of us here have heard the story about Feynman, when he decided that if he couldn't explain a concept clearly enough for undergrads, it meant that he didn't really understand it himself.
I had exactly the same reaction to the early Facebook "Zuckerbot" theme, and something ineffable absolutely died in the transition.

Agreed completely. It is annoying how this is constantly brushed off by some people, especially the project contributors. We should just 'get over it'. Well I can get over it, but how can I pitch this to my boss with a straight face? Or deploy it to 500 users on company managed devices?

Good article. Next time I ever want to revisit using C++ for scientific calculation again I'll keep in mind that Fastor has the fastest compilation time of all. Still, 2 seconds for just a benchmark code is a bit too much.

I remember doing this kind of finite difference stencil templating using plain C++. All the performance gains went out of the window as soon as the array size becomes dynamic.

For most topics, it's fine advice to be willing to look stupid -- aka stay foolish. For some topics, that's potentially dangerous. Some subjects must be handled with care.
1. Are you serious? Why is Alex Jones censored? Why is Trump censored? Why did people get indefinitely banned for discussing many of those topics on social media?

Just a few days ago Zuckerberg was discussing banning / suppressing discussion of the Hunter Biden laptop - https://nypost.com/2022/08/25/mark-zuckerberg-criticizes-twi...

Idk what to say about that. It’s not editorial decisions when DMs are being censored or social media posts. Particularly when the FBI / government is suggesting it.

2. This is a perfect example of my point. Most people don’t even realize they are surrounded by censorship. Or they outright agree with it. Look up the list of topics bannable on YouTube. On Twitter you can’t even call someone by the name their parents gave them if they disagree. In schools near where I live you can get suspended for using proper pronouns, if someone disagrees.

Censorship in the US is different, but very apparent.
> isn't it a bit ironic that you made a point of emphasizing heterogeneity among ethnic subgroups, but then sort of took that away from what was more specifically mocking Chinese and North Korean stereotypes, rather than broadly Asian?

Yeah a bit. I chose not to mention specific ethnicities and omit detail to keep my comment short. Regional humor has it's place, but in more nuanced contexts. A Chuck Lorre production isn't the first place I'd look to find anything thoughtful and nuanced, to be frank.

Main reason I used the broad brush for "Asian" is because in western society, 1+n generation Asian diaspora are less likely to segregate themselves by lines of national grievances back in Asia proper.
In addition to that, nationality is rarely the deciding factor on whether an individual is subjected to racial jokes (from outside personal circles), it's their appearance. I've been jokingly accused of being a Chinese spy, despite not being ethnically Chinese.

Yes, but testing takes time. Automated testing is a wonderful thing, but it only catches those things that the testers have already though of AND have had the time to write automated tests for. Some things are notoriously difficult to automate testings of. And there are always things that don't get considered during the writing of tests; especially those things that only appear when multiple systems are interacting together.

Taking the time to deploy code to a staging server, where QA can check it, and other systems can interact with it, can prove to be very beneficial. And runs contrary to having every push (or every push that passes the automated testing suite) automatically go to production.

I'm a big fan of something like a 2 week release cycle, plus the ability to release quickly when needed (generally same day, but only when necessary). I'm a big fan of automated tests (both unit and integration, both dev and QA written), plus a QA person/team to bang on things in a way developers don't think of, plus a staging environment where all the (staging versions of the) system interact with each other.

I'm not a fan of pushing things to production willy nilly, with a high risk of breaking things "because you can push again with a fix in an hour".

Anyone receiving UBI would also need to pay for housing and food and everything else. The grant comes to the student and the student gives it to the school, and they don't have to pay it back (because it's a grant). The school can now afford to hire a bunch of "administrators" to justify raising the tuition. It's a perfect microcosm of what would happen in a UBI scenario.
ACH is a US-centric term that seems to be used for both the general concept of netted/batched customer-facing interbank transfers, as well as the US-specific set of agreements, rules, participants, and regulating body that together implement one such network.

There are many national and international equivalents, but the linked Wikipedia page gets many of the examples pretty wrong, listing e.g. card acquirers/processors and central banks as examples for other such networks.

Direct equivalents would e.g. be SEPA Credit Transfer (but not SEPA Instant) and SEPA Direct Debit in the Eurozone or FPS (credit push only) in the UK.
Oo I can take this one! I'm not a registered piano technician, but I've tuned my piano (and helped a few friends) for some 15 years. Aurally (as opposed to electronically) tuning a piano is actually pretty straightforward. I'll stop short of saying it's easy, but once you learn the method, it's very sensible and just a matter of practice.

The general idea is to achieve consistent beat rates for a given interval -- major thirds being the most useful for its relatively high beat rate compared to other equally tempered intervals -- as you play it chromatically. By that I mean play A and C#, then Bb and D, then B and D#, etc. and if the beat rate hardly changes (but does consistently climb) then you've achieved equal temperament.

Say you've got A tuned to a reference (tuning fork). Then set the A above that so there's no beating, since octaves are always perfectly 2:1 regardless of temperament (until the extremes, when you need to stretch a bit, but I digress). Then tune the C# and then tune the F. Basically it's an augmented triad, or a stack of three major thirds (including from F back up to A). Get all of them to beat by about the same amount, but the higher ones just slightly faster than the lower ones. The fact that this feat utilizes two A's is the key to pulling it off. You frame out the octave and then fill in the augmented triad.

But now you need to do the next set: Bb, D, F#, Bb. How to get here without another external reference? Well, well, well. We have our ways. The perfect fourth between A and D is an option, but be careful not to make it actually a perfect integer (no beating), as that wouldn't be equal tempered; it should beat maybe about half as fast as the nearby major thirds, IIRC.
Amazon sells compute, and that's always needed for this sort of thing. They may develop new AI accelerator stacks (including racked hardware) in the future as well, so sure. I don't want to be one of those "the Internet is a fad" people, but I'm absolutely not telling you do do anything rash, go do your own research. Even if you bet at well as you can, the dot-com crash wiped people like you out, and that's assuming you get the general picture right.
Wouldn't there be a clear performance difference between a RAM based and disk based (even if it's NVMe SSD) machine? If so, isn't that something you can routinely/programmatically authenticate?

I sense you're looking for a more fundamental answer.

In any society, whether it's a tiny island tribe or a giant nation-state, there is a faction who like things just the way they are and don't want them to change. These are 'the powerful'.

Then there is another faction who want change but don't have the power, and they live in a permanent state of tension with the powerful.

In poli sci I recall it being called the problem of the reformers versus the careerists. But you can call it the young versus the old, the radicals versus the traditionalists, the revolutionaries versus the royalists.

The people at the top of the hill will fight change, because every direction from the top is down.

If you live long enough you'll typically switch sides once you've decided you have gotten all the change you're going to get and start trying to keep what you have (part way up the hill) instead.

It's not too different from a pride of lions. The king of the pride got there by being the strongest, he has it pretty good for a while but eventually he starts getting older and weaker while the younger lions keep getting bigger and stronger.

TL:DR you get power by fighting for it, you keep power by fighting for it.
I was going to say that theoretically this was something that trusted computing can solve, but then I realized even if you could guarantee that the server was behaving as advertised (ie. diskless, no log), there's nothing preventing the provider from putting a middlebox in front of the server to log all packet flows. From there it's fairly trivial to deanonymize every connection through traffic analysis.

"fall to temptation" implies they were legitimate actors in the first place.

Most VPNs are run by small and relatively non-transparent private companies. It would be trivial and in fact the obvious thing to do for law enforcement and similar agencies to setup VPN companies and advertise them to their targets.

ISPs are actually more transparent and their business model does not fundamentally relies on exploiting customer data.
If bias is built in, being transparent is a favor to the always fleeting time.
It would make sense if you are building a complementary product, that is tied to one of the product of Google, Facebook etc. (For example, an integrated app to google calendar, or a tool for facebook ad management etc.)

For every other purpose, I think you should consider traditional email/password solution. There are good tools for this. I use Keycloak for instance but there are many alternative, self hosted or SaaS.
100% agreed. The things a static site generator does are typically very simple: load some Markdown into memory, run it through some HTML templates, and maybe scale some pictures with ImageMagick if you're feeling especially fancy. Writing a script to do those things is way easier than trying to learn and wrangle a Static Site Generator(tm).

The one time static stie generators are helpful is if you really, really like the out-of-the-box look and behavior of some existing theme.

> since streaming inherently makes a copy

If we're being pedantic about a few stray electrons, you also make a copy when you stream it from the disc to your CPU, from your CPU back to a monitor, and so on. If VidAngel had a minimum "purchase" time of 1yr the case probably would have swung the other way. The issue isn't the streaming, but rather that the nature of the agreement was more akin to making a copy than not (with "sales" happening substantially faster than they would have in meat space).
