>I can assure you that individuals artisanally and incrementally building their homes is not a scalable approach to housing.

I think they were saying that the time and hours taken is not commensurate with the purchase cost, not proposing it as an actual solution. That said I think they are still very wrong.

If you were to build a modern house from scratch, you're taking enormous amount of time. Imagine felling the the timber and Milling it alone would take years. Ignoring the material side of things, most of what you're paying for is the knowledge and experience of the laborers. It takes a lot of time to learn each trade and how to build properly. It also takes a fair amount of work to learn the the regulations and comply with the certifications for each task

We all know that reliability is the Achilles’ heel of modern ML, as predictions are often wrong for out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs that do not resemble previous training data. While scientists have proposed many complex OOD detection algorithms for specific data types, our latest research demonstrates straightforward methods that work just as effectively and work directly with any type of data for which either a feature embedding or trained classifier is available.

We’ve open-sourced our methods with easy tutorials and published lots of content describing them and benchmarking their performance for detecting OOD images. Hope this helps make your ML more trustworthy!
It depends strongly on how the phased array is being steered. If the components prior to phasing and summation are saturated by the interference then phased array beamforming will not reject the interference.
> due to Covid, parents are afraid of nursing homes

All good apart from this, its clear you don't actually have kids - interest in kindergartens didn't drop a zilch (given, where I live - Geneva, Switzerland and around, plus at home country in EU). We properly don't care about covid anymore, had it at least 4 times, last 3 times even mild flu would be much worse experience.

Sure if you are a proper germ freak or some qanon-like paranoid nut you would base your decisions on this... but if you are just another sane parent, you just drop your kids there and hope for the best. Same as with any other sickness that kids do catch often that's looming out there.

I sold my 11" iPad pro for the 12.x version specifically because drawing in the smaller screen wasn't as good. But it's a 2018 model so less relevant.

Overall I use it for painting and a kitchen computer for recipes/YouTube while I'm cooking.

Probably not a pro use case.

I have a bunch of audio production apps on it but tbh the iPad audio workflow sucked so hard compared to desktop I just stopped using it for that. There are some cool apps (koala sampler, fugue machine, etc etc) but the lack of audio out and routing audio between apps kind of sucks.
Which malicious lies are we talking about here? I'm still having trouble following.

The dude makes over-optimistic predictions and shitposts like crazy; we're hardly talking about Pol Pot here. The same personality holds for, what, 90% of Reddit? Maybe only 40% of the HN commenter base (we're cultured!). People hate Musk because Musk makes it so fun to hate him. And that's fine. But it leads to some pretty weird places if you let it (like "The world would be better off without Tesla or SpaceX" being discussed here).
Jamming isn't destructive interference, which would require knowledge of the exact signal being sent as well as the exact location of the transmitter and receiver. Jamming is overwhelming the receiver with a stronger signal in the same frequency band so the weaker one cannot be received. Think someone screaming over someone else whispering.

Phased array beamforming absolutely helps make jamming more difficult. Jamming is all about reducing the signal to noise ratio in the channel until it is unusable. Directional antennas (of which phased arrays are electronically steerable versions) have more gain in the direction of the desired signal and less towards unwanted signals located in another direction.
If you have cash, buy when prices crash and hold.
Not my experience at all. It doesn't matter how well written a spec is. No tests = no conformance. End of story. Most people can't hold an entire spec in their head or think through all the ramifications of the edge cases. Even the spec writers. I work on several specs. I work with people who work on specs. They're all mortal. No test = divergence. Always and without fail.
Very much so. I am perfectly willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a perpetual license. I run many machines and can refer back to a project years later. Not so with a subscription, generally.

I do like the new model where you pay for a perpetual license and have the option to subscribe to annual updates. That's a win-win. I do want developers to make a good living. I also want to be able to access my files from 1997 if I choose.
What are the less popular languages on this list (or not on this list) that you actively (or immediately plan to) use and want to see succeed?

For moderately popular ones, I'll replace my usage of Go with Rust (and Java with Kotlin though I haven't used either much of late.) Dart is fine for non-AAA mobile.

My unpopular choices are F#/OCaml, Elixir, Elm (maybe), and for experimental use Pony and Zig.

One of the leading lab leak hypotheses (of which there are several) is that it was created as part of academic research - hence the fuss over PREDICT, the NIH and WIV.

I've spent a lot of time trying to capitalize on these mispricing - and often they're priced like that because the capacity in that region/configuration is much lower and you are exposed to more more preemptions than in higher priced region/configurations.
This is pretty spot-on.

At the risk of sounding like a hipster, or gatekeeper, I think the biggest tipping point was around the time that smartphones became commonplace in the mid-late 00s. The internet and web was already gaining momentum, but smartphones put it in everyone's pocket. It also turns out that most (read: non-tech) people don't want to have to piece together their own set of tools, they want a set of matching Fisher-Price tools handed to them on a platter - hence the popularity of the iPhone and iOS ecosystem which Apple controls with an iron grip. They would rather have a magic black box that does what they want without having to think about how it works or what is going on behind the scenes. I'd say everybody is guilty to some extent, but generally I feel it's this mentality that is largely responsible for the frog-letting-the-water-boil situation we have gotten into with things like data privacy/user tracking/etc. There was a time when "don't post personal information" and "don't believe everything you read on the internet" was a mantra, but now that the internet and web are mainstream, such advice has been ignored. Yet, people wonder why things have gotten the way they are and why bad actors are taking advantage of the situation.

I know very few specialists, including those without a conflict of interest, who think the lab leak hypothesis is true.

From my perspective inside the field, a small number of specialists and a very enthusiastic lay readership have pushed the lab leak hypothesis in a way that presents far more disagreement than there actually is.
The owner of com. (which is effectively the US govt) can hand out whatever records it likes for anything under .com.

All DNSSEC gives you is a false sense of security as you merrily validate signatures on spoofed records because they're generated by the same people who own the DS record responses.

And what happens when you (and everyone else) finds out you can no longer trust DNSSEC signatures on .com.? Stop using all of .com?

From a totally armchair perspective, the large of quantitative easing to cover various covid-related situations in combination with the supply chain issues also caused by covid have resulted in The inflation figures we've been seeing the last three quarters.

This level of inflation isn't sustainable, therefore interest rates are increased to reduce average Joe's disposable income so they're not buying as much stuff and / or being more careful with their spending and / or just can't afford as much alongside their mortgage or rent increases, which, in theory, should lead to inflation dropping.

The scale and chosen areas of belt tightening by the proletariat, will cause an equivalent scale of business insolvency and employee shedding in those areas, which will add momentum to the already running scenario.

By most indicators the US is already in a recession, and the Fed is (controversially to some) still talking an aggressive game when it comes to rate hikes, so I'd confirm the inevitability of a recession.

I think it's possible that those who wield the power would like a recession because it can allow further concentration of power by increasing the wealth gap; provide an opportunity for those like Black Rock to increase their portfolio of real estate once mortgages start defaulting. It's also a reminder to the covid quitters to "get the fuck back to work" (ironic for when jobs are being shed rather than created, but creates that thirst for becoming employed, which has its own societal momentum, and serves business owners well).

Also, the way debt works, and the way stock market valuations work, and the level of debt that seems to be in the system, a little bit of fear goes a long recession.
Great point on Fargate, I'd be very curious on whether they select capacity for that from EC2 capcity or if there's a separate physical footprint for it.

Nothing "weird" starts happening. Unitarity evolution is never broken, there are just rules in quantum mechanics that could perhaps be grouped under supplementary framework related to how we, macroscopic entities, extract information from it.
I use it every single day and it is the only reason I'm able to get anything done. I've taken paper notes my entire life, never referenced them once, I have 10's of notebooks all filled to the brim with unintelligible nonsense. Impossible and exhausting. On the iPad, I can fluidly take notes much quicker due to how fast I can edit, switch colors, erase, etc. And I don't end up with a monster stack of crappy notes. One of my main problems is I get ideas when I'm going to sleep, and so many times I've fumbled because I had the wrong notebook or no light or crap pencil etc. iPad I flick it open, click my shortcut to most recent note, sketch away, put it away.

I use ProCreate, Goodnotes, Concepts (hate the subscription aspect) and Numbers daily. I've done more studying and better work in the past 2 months than I have in my entire life. For the first time I'm able to make meaningful progress in math. For the first time all of my finances and files and emails and communications are sorted and in order, and not only that, but they are pleasurable experiences now too because the UX is great.

When I share ideas with people I can open Quicktime and pipe my iPad output to it and quickly illustrate ideas on the fly, use it as a wireless second monitor, etc.

I see it as a replacement of the traditional assistant, previously secretary. Siri manages my meetings and emails and reminders, and the rest is just for supercharging my note-taking abilities.

I'm not an apple guy at all, I'm a "don't want to spend 1 second on setup/messing with it" guy and don't care about much else. If Google came out with a suite that functioned better I'd switch yesterday. I've tried every note taking system under the sun. I spent 3 months in a basement inhaling org-mode. Nothing stuck. But I will say there was my life before the iPad, and my life after the iPad. It's a brilliant device. It saves me so, so much time.'

If they had some long term evolutionary advantage then without or without the Black Death they become prevalent either way.

Genghis Khan, is known for having a great number of dependents but many of those people have zero DNA that actually traces back to him. Something like 30% of everyone living 1000+ years have decedents making up a noticeable fraction of the world’s population today. However, without some evolutionary advantage any given bit of their DNA only has a ~50% chance of being passed on to their kids.

Do you mean, like all the DNS hijacking attacks listed here, occurring every single day for millions of users spanning multiple countries and including all the consumer ISPs in Indonesia, for example?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_hijacking

DNSSEC gives you end-to-end protection against DNS hijacking if your local resolver does DNSSEC verification and the domain being looked up uses DNSSEC.

All you have to do is install a local resolver like https://www.knot-resolver.cz which does DNSSEC verification by default.

It can be configured to talk to your upstream DNS servers or some other DNS-over-TLS servers if you want (like the Cloudflare DNS servers).

BUT there's more than enough space and money to build some utopian high-density stuff if it weren't for the NIMBYism. You can work part time as a janitor in downtown Tokyo and afford live in a comfortable apartment within 20 minutes of your job (Comfortable by local standards, but Japanese people don't usually use couches or beds. You could afford a place comfortable by American standards with a 45 minute commute)

Man, this area makes me so angry every day. Every time I go to a store or restaurant the people working there are lazy rude slobs because they're stressed out, overworked, and underpaid. I can't even blame them for being a-holes, because a lot of them have been pushed out of their homes and have to endure hours of commute every day just to BARELY scrape by.

I'm getting blasted by political spam now, and it's all about "protecting home values". If I could somehow cause an earthquake to level this region without physically hurting anyone, I'd do it right now. I'm counting down the days until I can leave at this point.
Getting you to engage is getting you to provide information you wouldn't have provided unprompted. By delivering value, they're getting you to reveal more about yourself.

"Table stakes" and "a tool for surveillance" are not at all mutually exclusive. Which is all the more reason to be concerned about Mudge's suggestions that foreign bad actors were employed at Twitter. Make no mistake: social media is a tool that can be used for malicious purposes.

MacPook Bro
I try to stay pretty open, but I work on an org with a lot of windows developers. It’s kind of interesting how it’s a totally separate world and the windows devs have their own equivalents to dot files and stuff.

The problem is when they insisted that everyone else must use windows and Mac and Linux machines weren’t allowed.
It probably wasn't, but it felt like it was. And what I mean by it is: "people worked on the software, that took time, we should pay them for that time."

My sense is that a big part of why people don't like subscription models is that they figure, "I have to pay every month/year, but the developers don't actually have to write new features in that time." I think that mindset implicitly prices the software based on the cost to the company of developing it. I'm suggesting that another mindset is, "if I use this for 10 months instead of 1 month, then it's worth ~10x as much to me (relative to if I'd only used it 1 month), so it makes sense I'd pay ~10x more for it."

I was looking at it less from the business's perspective, and more from the emotional perspective of the buyer.

A rather small number of people are working on it, but it's chugging along. Kenton has the keys still so he does basic vital things. A few new apps are in the pipeline. I'm still rather interested, and am developing another app that I expect to get a lot of attention when it's done.

There's a fund:

The bigger it gets, the more time can be diverted toward it. I was recently paid to upgrade the Etherpad app. But in theory it could go toward core development (which wouldn't be me).

The 12.9 pro is my main machine for anything non work related (including taxes, legal procedures, amateur video editing etc.)

For me it’s the screen. It’s the only iPad with a 12.9” screen, and it really makes a difference:

- Having two apps side by side, each at roughly the same size as they would be full-screen on an iPad mini.

- Reading manga with the right + left panel both visible, “as intended by the author”. Even for novels I find it more comfortable.

- the screen being roughly A4 size, PDFs are displayed almost at the standard print size, so size adjustments, zooming in and out etc. are rarely needed. I’d often ”scan” the instructions at the administrations and keep them displayed on the iPad while filling the paperwork, and it’s perfect.

- Pixel peeping photos is great, editing with the pencil makes it better, as a photo viewing/editing device it’s perfect.

If tomorrow the Air got a 12.9” or bigger screen I might switch (I love the additional ‘Pro’ features , but that wouldn’t justify the cost compared to the other models in my use case). I actually eyed at 14” chromebooks as a replacement, and might actually do the jump if the ecosystem improves enough when the Pixel tablet arrives.
