It is important to present results as quickly as possible to prevent the sorts of fuckery Trump did. So voting machines with a paper trail and risk-limiting audits (basically randomized audits—the closer the result is the bigger the sample) are ideal
This is a really technologically interesting problem to solve, congrats!

The GitHub analogy is particularly captivating.

The potential for applying code re-use and other programming principles in hardware could create a 'Cambrian explosion' of activity there.

I'll be monitoring this with some excitement!
You can get a scratch-built home to passive house standards at this price point. Aren't small prefab houses supposed to be cheaper than custom site-built houses?
I suppose people "pretend" that because it appears to be the unfortunate truth! Where else is he supposed to go, exactly, as a fugitive with no passport?

Snowden ended up in Russia by accident. He was flying from Hong Kong to Ecuador, and his flight happened to be laid over in Moscow when the US government cancelled his passport. He spent a month and a half living in the airport before he gave up trying to leave Russia and asked for asylum.

If he could have gone anywhere else it seems likely he would have done so.
> Not that founders listen. That was another big surprise: how often founders don't listen to us. A couple weeks ago I talked to a partner who had been working for YC for a couple batches and was starting to see the pattern. "They come back a year later," she said, "and say 'We wish we'd listened to you.'"

I have a theory I've shared a few times that one of our main problems is Exceptionalism, and stuff like this go into the evidence pile. My first thought on reading this paragraph was, "Someone needs to watch more Gordon Ramsay shows."

PG's observation is practically the thesis of GR's Kitchen Nightmares. Owners think their business is in trouble, not that they are in trouble, and so any advice that touches their identity is abruptly and sometimes aggressively dismissed. One guy was so invested in the fact that he'd bought some fancy french stove that Ramsay had to bully him into selling it. Even used the price versus a stove more appropriate for the business was enough cash to keep the owner afloat for an extra 3-6 months. It seemed like Ramsay thought that if he hadn't bought it in the first place, the restaurant wouldn't have gotten on his show at all.

Most of the computing problems in software were solved in the 70's and 80's. The new solutions trickle in just fast enough to keep things from getting tedious. Most of what we spend time on are 'process' or 'style' issues that are really people problems, ranging from cognition to group dynamics. But we don't want to face that because, as someone once put it, some of us were drawn to computers because we thought we could avoid interpersonal dynamics, and instead what happened is that we spent years looking at computers while our peers were practicing interpersonal skills, putting us several years more behind, and then we find out the job is substantially about interpersonal skills. We don't want to look at it because it both breaks the illusion and suggests that we made a mistake, and we can't make those, can we.

Everybody has these problems to some degree or another. You can learn how to deal with them by watching other people do it. On TV, doing hobbies (with or without social groups), volunteering, heck even exercise comes down to getting the emotional part of your brain to allow the objective part to low-grade torture you so that you feel better the rest of the time.
Solving Quantitative Reasoning Problems with Language Models
There's one very clear answer as to why we still use electronic voting machines: money[0]. States have to fund their own elections and machines are cheap. When you're choosing between a funding shortfall for schools, firehouses, or elections, it's really no surprise that the elections don't come out the winner.

> A new EU project OpenWebSearch.eu … [in which] … the key idea is to separate index construction from the search engines themselves, where the most expensive step to create index shards can be carried out on large clusters while the search engine itself can be operated locally. …[including] an Open-Web-Search Engine Hub, [where anyone can] share their specifications of search engines and pre-computed, regularly updated search indices. … that would enable a new future of human-centric search without privacy concerns.

So.. Who's going to create the index?
Indexing the web is expensive, and its offset by the ads the indexer runs on their search website, such as Google, bing, brave and others.
I would imagine the main market is people who would take out a HELOC with their equity.

But, yes, you shouldn't have problems taking out a construction loan to buy the ADU, and then after completion, refinancing as an investment property.
Hooray, can't wait to buy a 3090 once the prices fall even further than they already have and completely ignore these new, overpriced cards that draw half a kilowatt!

I'm more excited about the Hopper server-class cards — not because I'll be using them, but because now Stability can swap their A100s for H100s and train more Stable Diffusion models for me to mess around with!
Has it? There's a lot of demand for unskilled labor.
React is bad in the same way C++ is bad. It's not really, but it does take a while to learn the ins and outs. In the end, the pattern React provides is much more powerful when used right. But it's not a one size fits all, a lot of the time you don't need the flexibility if you're new to it and just want to get something done.

Funny anecdote: apparently, WSL doesn't work until you upgrade to the latest, when you are on the Windows insider build thing. Hilariously found that out when a server got into trouble while I was in the back of the car. Big smiles all around as I was downloading and installing the update over 4G and no power plugged in. Good times.
What's your solution for the grandmother who just wants to make a zoom call to her grandson? Have her log into her router portal and setup a static ip for her laptop and then port forwarding routes for zoom?
Wow! 389k for a very small trailer/prefab!? The CA housing market must have truly detached from all reality. It really looks like it’s something you would set on a cinder block foundation.

A trailer about this size would go for maybe 75k.

I can't help but feel like this is an ass-backwards approach to the problem, we should be trying to add a zero to the (greenly produced) energy available for each person instead of bean-counting. Imagine if this was our approach to internet bandwidth? "No you don't need more bandwidth, just compress your geocites webpages by an extra 5x - that's the future of the internet we want to see!"

We could produce far more energy than we could ever save by cutting. It is not an accident that the historical chart of quality of life vs. energy consumption per capita is up and to the right.
>Communist

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

“Not capitalist” does not mean “communist”. There are plenty other systems out there. And even for what many folks call communism you’ll find examples of much better efficiency - China for example has been developing at speed never seen in nominally capitalist countries.
If an idea is any good, you generally have to fight tooth and nail to get anybody to listen to it, and put in a hundred times that to get anybody to understand it, and that again to act on it.

If you don't directly control how that happens they will implement it fundamentally wrongly.

But after it is finally implemented more or less correctly, everyone will agree that the idea was trivial and obvious, and they had already thought of it themselves, in exactly the form where they first encountered it, even if that is actually not quite right.
And those are the Founder edition prices ...

Partner prices were like 200$ more I believe last time.

Yes, the alternative is largely to do nothing. To my understanding, the argument is that drone strikes are questionably effective, cause collateral damage that supports anti-American propaganda, and are wildly out of proportion to any actual threat. They're a form of security theater driven by Special Operations Command apparently holding a dominant position in DoD internal politics.

This is not an issue I pay a lot of attention to, so you should probably find other summaries as well.

> This is what agile actually wants you to do.

Maybe, but I am not sure, and that’s not the way I’ve ever seen it done.

The only way I’ve ever seen agile done is “waterfall with two week sprints”. Large wireframes of an entire application which is “unreleasable” until the end.

Sure it compiles during each sprint, but it’s not a releasable product at any stage (until the mad rush at the end when all the negotiations and trade offs begin)

Start from the premise that you do have agency, and you'll find there's a heluva lot you can do.

For most of that time, the Euro was worth more than USD. The exchange has been dancing around the parity line since June. It may still be roughly the same price in USD->EUR.
> They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction.

I just used `nvidia-smi -pl 250` on linux, it's built into the driver itself, I'm sure there's equivalent tools (or maybe even nvidia-smi itself) for Windows as well.
I have had this exact same thinking about travel and maybe thought I was just depressed. With how uncomfortable and stressful travel can be, I’m failing to see the point of it. I live in Maine and prefer to just find a quiet hotel or airbnb for a few days instead of getting on a long flight to follow the museum, church, cultural event pattern ad nauseam.
I don't think I'll ever understand upmarket stuff.

A quick search yields mobile homes range from 784 to 1440 square feet, with an average retail price of $76,400 [1]. This is 540 square feet for $400k. For those unaware, mobile homes are not just the tin can on wheels stereotype. Some look no less gorgeous than this does. Except they're 2-3 times as large, and go for a fraction of the cost.

Mithril or Svelte should be all you need. If you're coming from React, I'd recommend trying Mithril first. I've been using it heavily for 5 years now and I'll likely stick with it for at least another 15.

Mithril is reactive out of the box, and just works. It smokes React in every category, but still has an optional JSX integration if that's what you're comfortable with.

MSI's 3090 Ti was hovering around $1099 on Amazon, new-in-box, last week. Nobody should buy a used 3070 for $600 - brand new ones are ~$550 right now: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rtx+3070
"The taskbar still isn’t perfect, though. I can live without being able to set the taskbar size or position, ungroup icons, or even not be able to set small taskbar icons, but there are some Windows users that really miss this customization. Microsoft is still working on this rebuilt taskbar, so it’s not finished just yet."

"“We did completely overhaul the taskbar for Windows 11 and there were a lot of reasons for doing that,” Christina Koehn, principal creative director for Windows 11, says in an interview with The Verge. “We know people want to be able to dock it to the left, or the right, or move it around, and it really comes down to prioritizing features based on the needs of our customers.”"

If you know what people want, why not give them what they want?

People want the taskbar with the features it has had since Windows XP.

Was nothing learned from the disaster that was Windows 8?
Custom elements are just a way to define tags. React solves everything that's inside that class you wrote... and in a better way IMHO. E.g. with custom elements there's a difference between an attribute and a property and it's a PITA.
It seems the target of "you'll own nothing" has slipped to "you'll own a tiny, overpriced thing".
Their performance numbers at these events have also been highly cherry picked for years. Real world is never nearly as good as they claim.
> It provides a lot more transparency as observers can actually follow every single step of the entire process and verify everything.

Simple folk physics gives everyone an understanding of the security of ballot boxes. There's thousands of ballot boxes, each in a different physically-secured location, with various personnel keeping track of them, many of them citizen volunteers and workers, as well as partisan observers. Everyone intuitively understands the security, as well as security flaws, of this system.

All of that is lost with electronic voting. Even with complete confidence/faith in the system, it simply becomes a black box. Press button and the vote total is spit out. Only a few experts understand the system in a way that they could explain how that total was arrived at and why you should have confidence in it. And even fewer would be able to actually verify that the black box does what it says it does and that you should by confident in it. Otherwise it's just a box that spits out a number. And computers make up numbers all the time.
Question for the internet:

Have vote tallies ever been intentionally run adversarially, as in you have partisans count votes and then they have to agree on the final tally?
games nowadays won't drop FPS when they hit VRAM limits, they'll just swap in lower-quality assets.

horizon zero dawn, notably, was already VRAM-limited by 10gb cards several years ago and would run lower-quality assets on a 3080.
Any good articles I can check out that go into this in depth, or should I just check out the tutorials/documentation? Thanks
I admit I'm biased, but I don't remember this. I do remember concerns that Russia had interfered with the election, which is was found to be true (see Mueller report, Cambridge Analytica, etc.) There were also less well founded concerns that Trump himself was not only helped by but actually colluding with the Russians, which all evidence points to being false.

Most importantly, Hillary Clinton conceded the election the next day, as did Al Gore in 2000 once it was clear he didn't have a path to victory. Both pledged to support the victor. Trump hasn't done that, two years on.
Attribution is notoriously hard. Also, general propaganda pretty much to be expected. It's the same thing in the last election, it's absolutely expected that some people did commit voting fraud and that some votes were counted wrong.

The big question is the scale of the operation and whether it impacted the results. It appears to me that the opinion people have is very related to how much they like the result.

That is bonkers, to be honest.

I've used React a lot, but only via Reagent in ClojureScript.

The entire point of something you have is that it's physical and can't be copied. This isn't something you have, it's something you know with multiple layers of obscurity on top of it.
Signed bootloaders, machines that print ballots which can be independently reviewed. Maybe even unannounced audits by manufacturer or federal election officials would be useful (if there were some election mechanics standards that existed, I suppose). We should be able to make it so that even if the equipment is not monitored minute-by-minute we can still be confident

It’s easy everyone you interact with thinks the same and your perception gets skewed to believe your bubble represents the whole population.
It does seem to be a mostly turnkey price, including a (I'm guessing) slab foundation and running sewer, water, and electrical, and placing the structure, so that price is a lot less crazy.

The other thing they have working against them is cost per sq ft goes up with smaller builds since you still need expensive spaces kitchen and bathroom and they can only shrink so far.

In most high cost of living places where building ADUs makes the most financial sense I'd be surprised if you could do something like this start to finish for much less than 400k between permits, variances, drawings, groundwork, utilities, construction and finishes. The foundation and utils alone could be 100k+.
Your incentive is to propagandize this point. you have 100k+ cards to sell on the market, by your own admission.
Free markets indeed is an extreme position: efficiency in trade requires regulation.
There absolutely are fake electors, because some of the "alternate slate" sent by states' GOP were neither the preselected Democrat nor Republican electors, but completely different people.
> But I'm still writing a language that is as safe as Rust that I will auto-translate my code into when it's done.

Just curious, how do you intend to make it memory safe? By using a garbage collector, automatic reference counting, a borrow checker, or something else?
Could you provide the exact settings you use for generating the image? Settings matter a lot in terms of it/s. Also please share the exact it/s you're getting :)
The DICOM standard stuff did have a lot of eyes on it, and was tuned toward fidelity which helps. It's not perfect, but what is.

MRI artifacts though are a whole can of worms, but fundamentally most of them come from a combination of the EM physics involved, and the reconstruction algorithm needed to produce an image from the frequency data.

I'm not sure what you mean by "image enhancement algorithm"; FLAIR is a pulse sequence used to suppress certain fluid signals, typically used in spine and brain.

Many of the bright spots you see in FLAIR are due to B1 inhomogeneity, iirc (it's been a while though)
That one looks pretty nice. Is there a trick to finding manufactured homes that don't obviously look like trailers?

> "No, it doesn't kill me because he knows he's an illegitimate president. I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used – from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did," she said.

RTX 3090 was $1500 at launch, and was a 50% boost over the previous gen at best.
RTX 4090 is $1700 an is asserted to be ~1.9x performance, when taken with salt grain.

You can buy a 3090 for $999 today at Best Buy. That's not a bad price per frame.
$1700 for the 4090, if 1.9x speed for raster, is not a bad price per frame either.

Both are stupid. Anyone spending $2k for video games graphics cards is wasting money in a stupid way: they are big, hot, shipped from far away, and turn into toxic landfill garbage in a matter of years. They mark the worst form of destructive consumerism that late-stage capitalism has produced, on par with leasing a new vehicle every 2 years: both are bad as products that turn into needless waste and both consume energy and produce unnecessary heat.

I am definitely going to buy a 4090 on October 12.

To be pedantic, it was units of temperature at first, with a well-chosen segue of Curie to the superset of other names.

This does mark a departure from a convention of only single surnames, and one could surmise as to why that decision was made. Though one might also consult a Falsehoods list, since 'Ada Lovelace' was never $first_name $last_name to begin with, having been derived from something like /(Augusta Ada|Ada Augusta) King \(née Byron\), Countess of Lovelace/
That isn't universally true. Many counties in the US have used or still use touchscreen machines with no paper ballot.
If you look at the list of essay titles at https://paulgraham.com/articles.html, I think there are a lot of interesting topics that are a lot broader than startups - e.g. "heresy", "putting ideas into words", "how to work hard", "donate unrestricted", which are all from Feb 21 or later

pg actually reminds me of Eliyahu Goldratt, who developed the "theory of constraints"("TOC"). Dr Goldratt was a physicist who then tried to apply the logical problem-solving approach from physics to business problems initially, but whose work has been also used for interpersonal conflict resolution [1]. I get the same vibe from pg's essays, just trying to apply the same critical thinking skills to new areas from first principles, and just trying to see where it leads regardless of what the "established" wisdom is.

If anyone is interested in learning more, most people start by reading "The Goal", which is application of TOC to manufacturing, but if you're interested in how to think about how to apply new technology to existing human systems in a way that actually brings benefits, "beyond the goal" by goldratt is an audiobook that you should really listen to.

Fyi I have no financial interest in TOC :) But if anyone is interested in discussing how TOC thinking might apply to the problems startups face, I'd love to chat, please get in touch! (Contact info in profile)

Which is bizarre. T-Mobile doesn’t own the device. They don’t even have a SIM in it.

This should read as “T-Mobile has entered into an agreement, which should be against public policy and illegal, such that the device vendor locks the device under certain circumstances.”
