>If citizens moved into a community because it was 'spacious and quiet' then it's 100% their right to keep it that way, and utterly bizarre that outsider should think they have the right to force some kind of change.

No, it's not. If you want the entire town to be frozen in time then you should purchase the entire town. Your right to control development ends at the property line.

It's also utterly hypocritical in the Bay Area's case because it contradicts the position taken by most of the local and state governments on immigration; they proudly proclaim their status as "sanctuary cities" where all immigrants are welcome, but at the same time they don't want anybody new (whether they're immigrant or not) moving into their neighborhoods.

The NIMBY attitude in Bay Area cities is ridiculous because it's Trumpism on a local scale. They want to prevent "outsiders" from living in their community because they perceive that they are somehow negatively impacted by other people being able to obtain affordable housing.

>The 'solution' is probably to have much better/deeper/faster integration between transport services, how in holy cow is there not a 'very fast train' that goes around the bay, out to Sac, down to Morgan Hill, and up to Santa Rosa? With great connectors?

because NIMBYs don't want it. They'll complain about the noise, or that it ruins "the view"/"the character"/etc, or that it might indirectly urbanize their town despite no new housing being constructed, or that it'll make it easier for homeless people to come in, etc.
For weather stuff, there are a lot of good resources. For current conditions, I use my state's mesonet: https://www2.nysmesonet.org/ (Specifically, I bookmark a nearby location: http://www.nysmesonet.org/weather/local#network=nysm&stid=bk.... This page also pulls in official National Weather Service forecasts.)

For radar, I just use GR Level 3. I was tired of the slowness of the web. I add shapefiles for mPING, lightning, NWS watches, NWS convective outlooks / mesoscale discussions, etc. Great piece of software, and lots of shapefiles available on the Internet to extend it.

For forecasting, I use the College of DuPage forecast tools: https://weather.cod.edu/forecast/. There is a learning curve, but the "simulated reflectivity" is a prediction of where it's going to rain. It predicts what a radar mosaic would look like at the forecast time. I like HRRR for "today" and NAMNST for "tomorrow". GFS is also a classic for longer-term predictions, but I don't have a good enough memory to tell you how accurate it is. (HRRR is some good tech, though. Predicting the future is tough, HRRR does a pretty good job.) These models also have decent surface predictions; temperature, dewpoint, winds, etc. If you're willing to step through some pretty pictures in a very nice web interface, you can get some great ideas of what the weather is going to do. Well worth a visit.

On NAM and some other models, you can also long-press on a point to see a forecast sounding. This is probably in the realm of too much information for the average person interested in weather (and using models to make your own forecast probably is too), but hey, they have some neat software and you should play with it.

Finally, I like the SPC's site for situational awareness of thunderstorms in the summer: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/. Their forecast tools are also excellent: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/. Specifically, the mesoanalysis graphics can be interesting for anticipating exceptional events.

Anyway, I used to be a heavy user of Weather Underground. They got bought, then their parent company got bought, and now they have no actual weather information and just clickbait videos. It's very sad, but you can cobble together some tools that are freely available on the Internet and be aware of the current and upcoming weather, without being served a single ad!

Otherwise, iOS has a thing you can turn on that notifies you when it thinks it's going to start raining.

Carrot just pushed an update that switches the Dark Sky source to Apple weather.
It might not be storing all of the images, but it's clearly storing copies of some of the source images.

A few weeks before OpenAI made DALL-E 2 open, I went through a series of prompts using well known artists as a basis. Vermeer was one of them. It generated some pretty amazing works that were 'inspired' but not direct copies of Vermeer's works.

I started feeding the same prompts into StableDiffiusion (the HuggingFace online demo) and it output direct copies of Vermeer's works with minimal modifications.
I use Bromite which does the same and the only issue I run into is when sites need WASM. (Chromium doesn't have a non-JIT WASM interpreter, though IIRC Edge does.)

The point is it looks nice enough for gedy to hang up on the walls. I presume they don't care about fooling anyone, and likely would readily tell those who ask that it's an AI image. Sometimes people value the aesthetic over the provenance or story behind a piece of art.

Not even a year into career as a developer, and being hired as a Junior, I just started interviewing as a Senior, and then got a Senior position with the salary to match it. First year I thought I'd be "found out", but apparantly there really is no bar for entry.
I didn't know it was a goalpost but are you saying 2-3 hrs of socializing everyday is insufficient? Actually let's say the whole thing isn't enough, so what? You burden your coworkers with your need to talk about politics all the time? Really? If you think you should work less I am all for 4 day work weeks but you know we have to work to eat right? A certain amount of hours a week. Can you not make listen to whatever unrelated political or religious thing you think other people should listen to from your mouth as I try to make money to support myself and survive? If I had a choice I would be home not socializing at all and I am sure you would be on a podium in front of a large crowd telling them how amazing your revelations are but neither of us get what we want. So be courteous and shit in the toilet,eat in a clean dining area, get naked in front of people that aren't being coerced to see you and keep controversial opinions and views where an honest discussion (instead of circle jerking between you and buddies) means heated arguments that will affect how comfortable and productive everyone is outside of places where people have to work and associate with each other like a workplace?

The key assholery you don't seem to get is that I am not a willing participantin that discussion. You are doing it in violation of my consent. I don't even care if it means you never get to express your views or whatever, talk to the mirror at home I don't care. Or see a therapist about your constant need for external validation or to feel heard by strangers. Don't make it other people's problems. You wouldn't like it if you needed a job and everyone is talking about political shit that is horrible just to listen to but speaking up might cost you a job would you?

How is this shit even legal? Or allowed by HR people???
I know this has been discussed and rediscussed but the notion of thinking about human organization blackboxes trading work with each other the same way we think about how distributed systems blackboxes trade work and communication with each other I think is a huge insight for helping software engineers understand the complexity of human organizations.

You want to avoid single points of failure, optimize bottlenecks, build in redundancy in similar ways etc. Etc. It's a great insight.

US restaurant portions are huge. If you eat like that every day, it will kill you. I think one reason is that the ingredients are cheap relative to other costs including labor. It used to be rationalized by saying that a restaurant meal was supposed to be a rare indulgence, but I don't think that's true any more for a large swath of the population.

Anecdote: I had two long meetings at work last week, that crossed over the lunch hour, so they brought in lunch. Each was from a "fast casual" or "fast food" sandwich shop. There was like 1/2 inch slab of processed meat on each sandwich. I would typically put one thin slice of the same meat on a sandwich that I make for the lunch that I bring to work. I discreetly removed most of the meat and threw it away. I know some people who will take a delivered meal like that, cut it in half, and save the second half for the next day.

Another anecdote: There was an article about a town in Texas that was losing its last restaurant, and the author wondered how people would eat.

Of course to maintain a higher body weight, you need to eat more.
That’s not how money works in the UK. The taxpayer isn’t funding the monarchy or anything else. If anything the Crown is funding the taxpayer via the Bank of England.

I'm sure tweeting something "grossly offensive" about the late queen would also be grounds for arrest and prosecution.
Thinking about the tests may be an ongoing cost, but the whole point of CI/CD is that I never have to think about certain things again. That's also the idea behind the tests, but there is admittedly more work keeping the tests up to date than the CI/CD pipeline.

+1. Coding is such a wide field - and while there are some areas that one can probably master in a short time (CRUD apps as you mention, which are rather repetitive), there's also a lot of other areas where even people with decades of experience can still learn.

I've worked a lot on networking stacks, protocols and servers, and it found to be extremely specialized. It's unlikely one can an engineer with 5 years of "generic coding experience" which would be immediately productive in the field. I assume the same goes for implementing operating systems, databases, compilers (like LLVM), graphics engines, etc. Sure, a junior engineer that is new to the field could probably also implement something - but it would likely end up less reliable and less extensible and maintainable than if someone who has worked on a similar system before.

At that level it's however also all a bit of a mix between coding/implementation and design. While there's no real "system design" since the piece of software might just be a single component, there are still the usual design questions involved like "how does this component fit into the environment, like the APIs the operating system offers", "how will it be used", "what operational requirements need to be fulfilled", and "how can it be made to be as efficient as possible". Having a good amount of experience on how components will work together will be very helpful.
The fact that this sort of tracking is at all possible is what makes the internet so awesome…
Military and law enforcement can disable their ADS-B any time. As for visual tracking, that has been going on for a very long time by enthusiasts and paranoid folks. Blocking that on twitter would just move it one any of of a myriad of platforms thus removing visibility from the government as in who is watching who. There are amateur websites devoted to this topic. Instead of trying to legislate this consider turning off ADS-B and permitting the manual tracking on Twitter and just finding better flight paths accepting I just over-simplified the situation.

As for the times when ADS-B is desired my preferred solution would be to create 3 bands and classes of devices:

- Military/Law-Enforcement New encrypted spread spectrum equipment but also detect Commercial and Drones.

- Commercial / General Aviation aircraft. Existing equipment and RF frequencies but update newer models to also detect the drone band.

- Drones. New unencrypted equipment in their own band and permit the same TX power as Commercial so planes have a chance to see the drones. Drones should also receive GA bands and use auto-avoidance to stay clear.
About 20 yrs ago The NYT Sunday mag had an article (read: op-ed-y piece) that proposed the same about corn.

That is, fed subsidies for corn ultimately made high fructose corn syrup dirt cheap. That price point. made it more appealing to add sweetness to more food products. Or made sweet products (e.g., soda) cheaper.

Apple announced the purchase of DarkSky back in 2020. The API was originally scheduled to be killed off sometime at the end of 2021 but that got extended. You also haven't been able to signup for a Dev account since May of 2020. There has been a lot of news about this which was kinda hard to miss.

And no, Apple is not interested in sharing its API's with anyone.
I have a feeling that these individuals (I could only find two in my pubmed search) were suffering from schizophrenia, not cannabis-induced psychosis. Maybe you could make the argument that the cannabis caused the schizophrenia, but that's still a different diagnosis.

In the case you link the guy had smoked weed for two years prior with no apparent issues. Yes his psychosis resolved after he stopped using cannabis, but he was also treated from that point onward with anti-psychotics (the kind you would treat schizophrenia with). It was probably the anti-psychotics, not the cannabis cessation that made him not psychotic.
Management Is Not Just for Managers: The Path to Becoming a Senior Engineer
You are completely wrong on the basic facts of this. The Crown Estate belongs to the state, not the royal family. The Sovereign Grant is an arrangement to pay the monarch is paid 25% of the revenue, which would otherwise flow to government coffers like the rest of the revenue. Were the UK to become a republic, the state would simply stop paying this to the monarch, and thus gain revenue.

> So this would mean that the "art content" for humans is not only the pictorial content of the image, but also the "transmission of a message", and in particular, the quality of the initiator and the receiver of the message

Sounds like you've taken a semiotics class.

In that case, perhaps the art is only as profound as the prompt?

Can you help me understand that distinction? With a pretty limited understanding of UK law, my assumption would be that freedom of speech would cover any words but maybe not the specific way they're presented, while freedom of expression would cover even if those words were expressed in less polite way.

For many people like myself, the American road trip is immortalised in Western culture through the magic of Hollywood. Driving towards the distant horizon, stepping on the gas, refilling at weird gas stations, and resting overnight at highway motels, and finally reaching the coast.

Some could say, the road trip is a right of passage, following the footsteps of the early American explorers. I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy many road trips before, abroad in foreign countries and at home, but only dreamed of an American roady. I’m loving the nostalgic, low-fi vibes and the meditative experience of 4m3ric4.com And maybe thats what the American road trip is about...finding yourself, getting back to simpler times, just you and the open road.

The commonly used benchmarks are often pretty useless or irrelevant. Coming up with useful benchmarks is very hard and a pretty tragic thing about the supposedly irrelevant independent CPU benchmarking of the past 20 years is that CPUs are specifically designed to perform well at the silly benchmarks that are popular as well as at real world workloads where I think CPU manufacturers will have their own suites of more carefully designed more realistic more relevant benchmarks.

My claim is that (1) results on irrelevant benchmarks like SPEC do matter for CPU sales (probably not for big tech companies that operate their own datacentres – they’ll likely do their own testing – but likely for many ‘savvy’ consumers and also for companies that want to market their computers as having fast CPUs) and (2) the complicated world of benchmarks is handled very poorly by the people who tend to evaluate CPUs with them and publish their results.
Further to your point, comparing humans to AI is not just misunderstanding AI, but also looks past how humans create and choose the styles which this AI is now reproducing through a statical approach. Without the human guidance the AI would be bland, AI is limited to the walls of whatever it has been exposed to - humans are not.

The AI emulates. Humans create. - The significance here is not trivial.

Of all the major tech companies, Google is the one that invests the most in their development tools, so that's unlikely to be the cause.

It seems more that the article is trying to namedrop Google as a reason to read their blog post, since they don't even suggest a solution to Google's predicament; all they say is that one should invest in their developer productivity experience, and that Google already does.
