Actual widespread use of rudimentary analog microwave PTP links is a post-WW2 thing.

The earliest widespread sites used square delay lens antennas in the 2 GHz band, later 4 GHz. See black and white photo here: https://long-lines.net/places-routes/Yellow_Springs/index.ht...

Some of the oldest AT&T Long Lines sites with this type of equipment were built in the general corridor from Boston-NYC-WA DC
While this is somewhat true, in the overall problem of transit, this is a tiny problem dwarfed by far larger problems. For this argument to make sense, there are about 5000 ways to improve current US cities in terms of transport that don't require this amazing technology.

Its not technology that is limiting good transit, but will.
The supply&demand issue does not turn what this company is doing into a "distraction", quite the opposite. Their "algorithm" has an outsize influence on the prices precisely because of the underlying housing crisis.

I put algorithm in quotes, because it's clearly just a facade in front of good ol' fashioned price collusion.

As the example in the article points out, replace the word "algorithm" with "a guy named Bob" and suddenly it doesn't sound so innocent to say: The companies controlling 90% of apartments in a neighborhood give all their data to Bob, and then Bob tells each one what to price their apartments. It's price collusion by proxy, pure and simple.

We shouldn't just ignore it because it's not the biggest cause of the price increases.
Yes, we absolutely need to tackle the housing supply problem, but at the same time we need to stop companies like this from exploiting the crisis and driving prices up even further.
Is there a good reason not to make it public?
Whining about it on Twitter = free and easy

Suing Github = signing up for a ~decade long incredibly expensive and time-consuming legal battle against one of the richest companies in the world

There may be a slight difference in effort between these two options.
Invading Muslim armies of that era typically left the major infrastructure and economies, and even the lower levels of political bureaucracies relatively intact. I'm interested in the claim that "when the Moors invaded Spain, they destroyed much of the Roman infrastructure in a fit of religious fanaticism so a great deal of it has been lost," do you have any sources for that?

How to Write, Speak and Think More Effectively by Rudolf Flesch.
Is the code in question even covered by copyright in the first place? It seems utilitarian in nature.

Oh, the comments! Those are covered by copyright for sure.
I'm pretty sure DALL-E was trained only on not copyright material ( they say so :| ).

But to be honest if your code is open source im pretty sure Microsoft don't care about licence they'll just use it cause "reasons" same about stable diffusion they don't give a fuk about data if its in internet they'll use it so its topic that probably will be regulated in few years.

Until then lets hope they'll get milked (both Microsoft and NovelAI) for illegal content usage and I srsly hope at least few layers will try milking it asap especially NovelAI which illegally usage a lot of copyrighted art in the training data.
If they won't say, then one can assume patient data was stolen
This isn't really true: Because it'll download the driver from Windows Update, so it'll serve the latest version. Obviously after the zero day is dealt with that will no longer happen. This is about a flaw that lets someone with admin rights install an old driver which has already been replaced/fixed on Windows Update.
I think they're more concerned about it repeating code w/o ownership/copyright labels
This is just sexism and if you swapped "man" with "women" you would be rightfully cancelled. Your age is not a justification for suggesting such absurdities. As an example, the majority of teachers are female and so many of them are useless slobs who should have never been allowed near a school.

A really disgusting comment.
Right. In other words, the notion that developing more residential properties will bring prices down is nonsense.
When Joe Rando plays a song from 1640 on a violin he gets a copyright claim on Youtube. When Jane Rando uses devtools to check a website source code she gets sued.

When Microsoft steals all code on their platform and sells it, they get lauded. When "Open" AI steals thousands of copyrighted images and sells them, they get lauded.

I am skeptical of imaginary property myself, but fuck this one set of rules for the poor, another set of rules for the masses.
> The challenges of fighting unethical social and political resistance to your inclusion in a community are distinct from the intellectual challenges of the associated field of study.

And, "representation" fixes this? I see the connection between the two, but I don't think it's direct.. and I think calls for "representation" step over this chasm entirely in the hopes that the solution will sort of just materialize.

I also think it is highly likely that focusing on this alone creates the opposite social pressures, pushing people into highly competitive landscapes filled with driven people just to serve as an undistinguished poster child who's meant to merely be a token of "representation in the field."

I don't think genuine "unethical social" or "political resistance" to inclusion is solved this way. Further, if there are these gate-keeping mechanisms in front of what should be pure meritorious pursuits, then all you might be doing is forcing those gatekeepers to put a different face on their lack of ethics rather than throwing them off the sciences entirely.

It's not so much that I disagree with it or think it's not a valid concern, I just think this sole focus on "inclusion" and "representation" is entirely half thought out will only serve to make the actual problem worse.
It goes beyond code. Also photos, art, text, etc. Be careful what you wish for. Whether you like it or not, with a stroke of a pen Congress or the Supreme Court in the US could probably wipe out the legal use of a huge amount of the training data used for ML.

> Airlines discount tickets at the last minute. That's because flying an empty seat around doesn't make any money.

> Magazines sell ad space at a steep discount the day before it goes to press. Same reason.

> Stores have clearance sales. Again, same reason.

You did not acknowledge or address KerrAvon's point at all.

> And so on. No landlord in his right mind would leave half a building vacant if he can get a paying tenant in.

Of course they would, and both KerrAvon and TFA explain why:

) The company had been seeking occupancy levels of 97% or 98% in markets where it was a leader, Winn said. But when it began using YieldStar, managers saw that raising rents and leaving some apartments vacant made more money.

) “Initially, it was very hard for executives to accept that they could operate at 94% or 96% and achieve a higher NOI by increasing rents,” Winn said on the call, referring to net operating income. The company “began utilizing RealPage to operate at 95%, while seeing revenue increases of 3% to 4%.”

Plenty of companies avoid large sales or clearances as a policy because it damages their ability to sell at inflated rates.
Yep, the person I was replying to was asking for recommendations for non-techies. I wasn't about to recommend a static site generator...
In the last 20 years the US government has exerted more control over the press by denying access to outlets that are more critical. The department of justice has been more aggressive in going after outlets that publish confidential information. Many government officials and politicians go on to work for outlets, compromising their independence.
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing the link.
When you add in the fact that it’s the only Intel desktop chip that supports AVX-512, Rocket Lake is pretty uniquely situated.

The overclocking crowd may have turned up their nose (to be fair Comet Lake can have excellent memory latency and speed with some tweaking), but folks who like to tinker with software and not worry about which thread scheduler the OS is running are well served by Rocket Lake.

Well they have only 11 of the required 20_000 signatures to be an eligible voting target in elections, so this new party isn't even part of the political process yet.

Actually a nice idea to make lecturers collaborate and share more: Maybe it would help if the website could be used by university courses, e.g., by allowing to overlay custom course infos or modify sections.

Vast majority of the people who want more climate change action want green energy, more regulation of fossil fuels, and more efficient day today life activities.

They do not generally want everyone to eat rice everyday. Maybe the most extreme ones do, but that's the nature of every group, there are extreme nutters.
It is easy. You can write C# in anything these days, Rider becoming a favorite pretty quickly for many. Everything like dotnet CLI just works on Linux too.
Employment is generally at-will. Employers can and do fire for a broad range of reasons, including suspicion without evidence.

9 times out of 10, in case of improprieties, a person is fired, and no further action is taken. In most cases, there is no upside to prosecution, and a lot of potential downside. In every legal case I've been involved with, there were deep improprieties, such as fabrication of evidence. If you're right, that's no guarantee of winning a case, and in most cases, both sides come out scarred and tarnished.

The legal system is random, and a high risk for everyone.
> Is your point that Supply & Demand are actually in play?

I never claimed they weren't. However, there are a significant number of external factors that you refuse to acknowledge, like government regulations specifically enacted to protect tenants from this type of exploitation.

You initially said "why not just raise the price 2x or 3x!", when I pointed out that this was happening you moved the goal posts to "why not raise the price 10x!" I am not interested in engaging with snide 'gotcha!' games.
100% agree. And the Rust compiler is a great way to internalize those lessons since it shows what you got wrong, where you missed an ownership assignment, and often telling you how to fix the problem in plain English. It's as close as I've found to an actual teacher while writing code.

When the compiler stops yelling at you all the time, you'll get your feedback that you've actually learned those lessons.
Here is an idea. You can have a 'full fledged car infrastructure' with about 1/5 of the car infrastructure you ALREADY HAVE. In fact, there is already way to much car infrastructure, far more then anybody can maintain. Most town in the US and the highway system have maintenance backlogs that will literally never be cleared.

Here is an idea, build public transports so that less people use the car infrastructure, and just like that you get higher utility out of your existing car infrastructure.

Seriously, the amount of 8 way stroads in the US is a fucking joke. There is essentially never a need for an 8 way road anywhere at any time. And for sure not absurd 20 way highways.
To be fair, though, the first comment that referred to contrast was clearly talking only about color, and had nothing to do with "topography contrast."

The original comment was

> Designers love grey on grey. I’ll take comic sans any day.

These are two orthogonal features. It's like saying "fashion today is really into high waists, but I'll take denim any day."
I have an odd but carefully considered opposition to this:

We process speech differently depending on where it comes from, and so someone could be given an “edge” by coming from a specific “spot” while others could be downplayed by being placed in a “lesser spot”.

I know it sounds completely out there, but I got this awareness years ago from a scientific study (what to even look up to find it again I don’t know. Hopefully a fellow HN user knows what I’m talking about and can cite) and I have noticed the effect is actually quite drastic once you know what to look for.

To a lesser extent: Clubhouse brought in spatial audio and it caused more chaos because of the way it was implemented: Some speakers were behind others which made their voices noticeably louder, and because multiple speakers could talk at once and be understood there was less respect for the person who’s turn it was. (Before that if someone talked over it just became an unintelligible clump of sound and moderators would bring things back to the single speaker)
If scientists were to explicitly state that they are only describing a subset of reality (the physical/material realm), I would be more forgiving.

But rather, they typically speak like this (from the article):

"Quantum mechanics is usually described as a theory of atoms and sub-atomic particles, but in truth it is believed to be a theory that underpins everything in the world, including the weather and the galaxies – all of reality."

Based on my observations, there seems to be a set of topics whereby most instances of human mind lose their ability to desire to know what is true. It if often easy to see this flaw in others (for example: non-theists observing theists), but seeing similar flaws in oneself is far trickier (say: materialists contemplating metaphysical ideas).

(Note: this phenomenon applies to me as well, although I suspect not to the same degree as most.)
Smart comment for when it's parsed later to determine your alignment :)
Ending the crisis by creating housing supply is the way to stop exploiting the crisis.

If you stop "this one company" you'll just have someone else making profits and still have people homeless.
Sorry, your project doesn't have a .io domain, it must be of poor quality.

Or would you rather I look at the what it does, its contributor guide, release history, roadmap, tests, etc instead of some arbitrary cosmetic value?
Being shocked by empty apartments on the rental market is like being shocked by stocked shelves in a grocery store in my view. Do you think a market without inventory is better somehow?

What's the best way for someone who doesn't have a finace degree from Harvard or computer science degree from Sanford do to make it to that certain amount of money you speak of- if someone has a high school education? What are the best odds, given someone's limited abilities?

Just make an online store and sell products?
It's interesting if the consequence of this will be people open sourcing things way less. Would give another layer of irony to openais name.
I think it makes sense in some cases and hospital residency is one. It's a temporary position (even if temporary is 7 years), often where the employee has limited influence on the location. They're likely to have lived somewhere else before taking the position, and will live somewhere else after the position. There are existing strong incentives to not move jobs during residency, so an additional one won't hurt too much.
> But adjusting DDR for that could be pretty easy. Instead of a burst of 16 transfers, do 18. It's already set up to stream longer transfers when desired.

That's not really how DDR5 works. The granularity of column addresses is (iirc) 32 bytes, and you cannot do transfers that are of any length other than 64 or 32 bytes (and 32 bytes only with burst chop, which means that the bank is busy for the remaining 8 cycles). Bursts longer than 16 are really just multiple adjancent requests, with an optimized command.

You could change this, by completely changing how the memory modules themselves work, and by widening the column address for more granularity. Can't do it well by just tweaking the memory controllers.
vim-easymotion for the entire screen. I love it. Useful in numerous ways from accessibility to constrained devices to keyboard-centric navigation.

In the 1980's, there was a thread of animosity directed at GUIs and mice as productivity-killers and providing accessibility to novices that robbed power-users of expressivity and automation as features shifted towards UIs over text mode applications. I think we can agree that with necessary and sufficient software engineering and UX, CLI-UI-API parity is achievable offering an easier learning curve, varying levels of user astuteness, mental models, and expressivity to accomplish a task by having different MVC "views" or "presentations" to interact with software or systems of any sort.
I'm sharing this because on my M1 Mac I couldn't get Whisper to work with MPS. CPU transcribing was taking around 2x the audio time.

With Whisper.cpp with 4 threads and using the base.en model, a 40 minute podcast transcribed in 130 seconds.
I would love to work at a FAANG in the future to gain exposure to these interesting problems and systems at huge scale.
I've worked with a couple of the 'decent JS implementation of 3D graphics' libraries and, although they're not all like this, the ones I used were not built by people with experience doing low-level performance work. As such, they made some poor architectural decisions that prevented users of the libraries from doing some very basic optimizations that would have increased perf significantly.

The three major blockers I remember were:

1. Render contexts are created on the main thread and the user of the library gets no control over this. This means all driver overhead and library function calls block the main thread, which matters a lot when trying to hit 8ms/frame.

2. Loading textures asynchronously (in another thread, not Javascript async/await) was straight up impossible due to poor architecture. This means app startup was 500ms instead of 5ms. Maybe not a big deal to you, but our use case necessitated quick (a few frames at worst) startup.

3. The renderer used a scene graph, which was hilariously slow to traverse for large numbers of objects. Impossible to optimize by anyone as far as I can tell. Scene graphs just don't work well in JS.
I think you should speak for yourself instead of for all Indians. You believing or not believing something has little effect on facts. Bullying everyone into believing your unquestioned love for the present day government is rather disenginious.

The general philosophy with Mutagen is to (a) delegate encryption to other tools and (b) use secure defaults (especially for permissions).

So, for example, Mutagen doesn't implement any encryption, instead relying on transports like OpenSSH to provide the underlying transport encryption. In the Docker case, Mutagen does rely on the user securing the Docker transport if using TCP, but works to make this clear in the docs, and Mutagen is generally using the Docker Unix Domain Socket transport anyway. When communicating with itself, Mutagen also only uses secure Unix Domain Sockets and Windows Named Pipes.

When it comes to permissions, Mutagen doesn't do a blanket transfer of file ownership and permissions. Ownership defaults to the user under which the mutagen-agent binary is operating and permissions default to 0700/0600. The only permission bits that Mutagen transfers are executability bits, and only to entities with a corresponding read bit set. The idea is that synchronizing files to a remote, multi-user system shouldn't automatically expose your files to everyone on that system. These settings can be tweaked, of course, and in certain cases (specifically the Docker Desktop extension), broader permissions are used by default to emulate the behavior of the existing virtual filesystems that Mutagen is replacing.
I highly appreciate things like this. But honestly, it's so hard to tell the difference between all the different icon libraries. Would love to see an Html standard library for these.
I have tried this iOS flag a few times, and every time it induced sickness instantly. It doesn’t reduce animations, it replaces them with nauseous fade in-out effect sometimes even in supported apps.

Turned it on to make phone/ui fast and instant, found out it just doesn’t. Idk what people with vision problems need, but personally I need animations (either fade or motion) to not exceed ~100ms.
Right now it’s zero women. Hou Yifan just dropped out of the top 100.
In theory AI should never return an exact copy of a copyrighted work or even anything close enough you could argue is the original “just changed”. If the styles are the same I think that’s fine, no different than someone else cloning it. But there’s definitely outputs from stable diffusion that looks like the original with some weird artifacts.

We need regulation around it.
Hah. What a joke. So it's all astroturfing and fake evangelism.
They are going up in value because there isn't enough housing and there are too many rich people and because the property / land value tax is too low.
Dev.to is blacklisted on HN since it is mostly low quality content (and it is), not sure how you didn’t come to that conclusion yourself.
