> the vast majority of them are low maintenance and don't do or cost a ton. You just don't hear people complaining about those.

I've lived in a country ruled by a dictator. I can assure you - in most such countries the majority of the folks are happy with the status quo. It's only a small percentage that is badly abused. Therefore we should all be OK surrendering our rights to the government, right?

And so it is with HOAs. The majority don't screw you, but I don't want them to have the power to screw me.

These have different meanings. The original title implies it will never happen. This title implies it could take time.
Making sick people go into work is bad.

That's great as long as you're reading books that can be comfortably read on a phone screen, and of course many can't. Epub files do have some of the enumerated advantages, and even some more--for instance, they can be used with read-aloud systems and provide other accessibility benefits. They kinda suck for books that require complex layout or large tables or other kinds of complex illustration. I mean, it can be done, it's just less than ideal. I mean, I'm involved in ebook production for a university press, so I know how the sausage is made. And I don't like to buy them.
My guess is the story is completely made up or staged.
With a material change to the title that changes what it means? Yes!
this is how older communes worked isnt it, and the increases in population and inability of people to "know everyone in the town" led to what we now see as legal systems.

idk how well it would work in this day and age?
I think if a group of homes wants to enter into a voluntary contract that has penalties if they changed the color of their house, that's fine.

The problem arises when that contract is binding on future homeowners.

The even bigger problem is that if you are in a reasonable HOA, draconian rules can be enacted that you disagree with - as long as the majority agree.
They reached "scientific breakeven", you are referring to "engineering breakeven" or "economic breakeven". The vocabulary here is nicely defined: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_energy_gain_factor
A timeless oldie but goldie is Sid Sackson's "Can't Stop" and, speaking of Sid Sackson, his book "A Gamut of Games" is still my most favorite collection of ideas of simple (in the sense of no complicated or costly materials needed) and timeless games.

This is like the "what about the children?" defense: it's taking an extreme case and using that as a general statement.

An HOA that only maintained common property would not inspire the level of vitriol that I see on Twitter daily. So let's leave that out. HOAs can maintain sidewalks and private roads and plow snow all they want, and no one will mind much.

It's the busybody Karen restrictions on what you can do with your house that set passions aflame: your window treatments, the color of your doors, the length of the pole holding up your flag. And, of course, your lawn. I heard about someone whose car was towed away by the HOA because the registration had expired. A state law limiting the jurisdiction of HOAs would go a long way to fixing all that.
Having seen what happens when the HOA members not affected by infrastructure problems vote for the health of their wallets rather than their neighbors, I cannot agree that this is an unequivocal good.

You're right, it is too easy for people to kick the can down the road. Making it even easier for them to do so will not help.
I think engineering/support cost might be an excellent argument against implementing MIDI support in a browser, but the claim I responded to was that MIDI support wasn't on the table due to fingerprinting concerns (which are not obviously well-founded, from my outsider's perspective).

When I said "functionality that people want", I didn't mean to imply that there was a critical mass of people that made MIDI support in a browser obviously worthwhile, I just meant that some people want it and they're being told it won't happen because of fingerprinting.
Um, 'parsing...data out of an HTML microformat' sounds like a fancy way and obscure way of saying 'the browser renders HTML, something it has been optimized to the gills for'.

> Parsing a protobuf is probably at least 10x faster

Faster than a browser rendering HTML? That would be quite a feat.
Looks like they analyzed two datasets: one captured by a telescope in Chile, the other in Spain. We don’t hear about ground based telescopes in the news, I wish they were covered more often.

I still remember a time when recursivedoubts posted about intercooler.js which is the predecessor to htmx, and almost every comment was dismissive and a varition of “what’s the point of this?”.

It seems now the majority of commenters are positive about htmx now and I feel happy for recursivedoubts.

Most web applications today would benefit from using htmx more than JavaScript-heavy frameworks with the exception of applications like Figma and the like of it.
I'm sorry about all the negativity in the comments. What I see is something that was handcrafted with the careful touch of a craftsperson that represents your individual vision for a specific digital experience. I can tell you put a lot of time into making this. Thank you for sharing this!
That law has never been tested in an appeals court yet, and likely won't stand up to a 1st amendment argument.
OpenAI is explicitly trying to filter ChatGPT from saying things that may insult people, describe criminal activity (like how to hotwire a car or how to make methamphetamine), incite self-harm and the likes. Instead, you will get a generic "I'm a language model and can't answer that" response. I did not see much people complain about ChatGPT in particular (most likely because the filter works quite well in non-adverserial scenarios), but previous language models have famously started insulting people and have gone as far as to try to convince people to commit suicide. In assuming best interest, though, the grandparent most likely referred to worries about it expressing non-politically correct views.
> Should you expect to impose yourself on these areas and go against the existing residents wishes?

This keeps coming up, and the answer is an unqualified Yes! It's surprising people don't understand this.

If an HOA has a rule that says I can't own a TV in my house, then yes, I intend to impose myself on them and go against their wishes. Is that hard to understand? Just because rules exist when you buy a place doesn't mean I should try to abide by them.
Similar question, tho by my read, chain-of-thought seems to be standalone and the primary breakthrough. I asked the author[1].

I've worked in AI&ML since the 90s and both of these do seem much more intuitively promising than simply making larger nets. This seems borne out by the discussion in his previous post, that in Oct '21 OpenAI ran GPT-3 on it, solving 35% and they estimated:

"it appears likely that the 175 [billion link neural network] model would require at least two additional orders of magnitude of training data to reach an 80% solve rate.”

But instead 85% was achieved within a year using chain-of-thought, not a larger model.[2]

Sure, but nobody thinks they are the bad drivers.
That's why you'd use ChatGPT to parse the question and wolfram for the actual math.

"2 * (number of legs on a cat) + (number of legs on a horse)"

Result: 12

I’ve never seen this film but I gotta say this seems like a pretty cruel prank. Considering Jimmy Kimmel, the one behind the “lie to my kids about eating all their Halloween candy and make them cry” prank, is a producer on this, I’m not surprised.

It's this adversarial environment that I fear is the complication.

As you say, if you know the cars will stop and let you go, this power will corrupt.

Extend this thinking to bicyclists, skateboarders, delivery riders, motorcyclists, car enthusiasts driving themselves - all able to simply cut off a self driving car knowing it will give way.

But there is more adversarial out there.

AI input hacking to get known responses. Cars disabled because of gang tagging on sensors.

Car enthusiasts or privacy enthusiasts (privacy shouldn't require enthusiasm but here we are...) updating car firmware/software. People with full physical access!

And we haven't touched on the ethical stuff which is a world of discussion in itself.

Self driving cars by evolution in current societal rules etc will take a LONG time.
The only Nest I've used was at a vacation rental we stayed in once a year for a number of years. That thermostat was horribly confused by the new guests with different behavior every few days. And after a years' absence I always had to search the Internet for instructions on how to use its "intuitive" UI.
Sure, it always helps if everyone can agree what the subject matter is, but at its core the issue isn't whether behavior X fits someone's definition of doxxing, it's whether behavior X is illegal. Something can be illegal but not doxxing, or doxxing but not illegal.

And in the case of Musk, secondary issues arise, such as the fact that in the US lawsuits can be commenced for almost any reason, and how Musk's tremendous wealth, power, and social influence allows him to hold others hostage to his whims and malleable ethical positions.
The "it's expensive to raise a family" is simply Parkinson's Law for budgeting. Similarly also due to hedonic treadmill.

2 main issues I observe, 1. folks expand their personal expenditure to live pay check to paycheck and then have a kid. The child is on top of them already spending everything, no wonder they think it's too expensive.

2. Having children later, they think they need to provide that child with their current standard of living or better. Imagine the standard of living a 21 yr old parent provides vs a 31 yr old vs a 41 yr old. All 3 of those children are likely to survive. Yes the older parents likely provide a superior outcome on some fronts, but that doesn't mean the 21 yr olds do not provide an adequate outcome. Children often just need the basics in most areas of expenditure.

Eg: Feed them a balanced diet with home cooked foods instead of expensive dining out and convenience[1] foods, let them play local soccer or basketball instead of expensive sports like football/hockey (unless you believe you have the genes to produce a NHL/NFL star). Spend time with them teaching them things (or learning together) like languages, small electronics kits, programming, music. It doesn't have to be expensive private lessons.

I agree with on the basegame. It was fun the first few games, becomes kinda boring when you don't play with a large group as the bird cards don't change often.

The expansions changed the game completely for me, it's more strategic and you're interacting with other player more (i.e. in-between round activation, end of round powers, more steal resource from other players, etc).
I personally love that the game play is very fast, as you have limited number of moves every round.

The Oceania expansion with the nectar tokens and new board really let you do more in the game.

I would give it another try with the expansions, it's truly a different game.
LoTT re-uploads video content the users had already explicitly uploaded for the purpose of public viewing. In what way can that be considered doxxing?

If they published personal information the person didn't want put in the public eye, that would be a very different story.
Why wouldn't htmx work with web components? It just does asynchronous fetches and DOM swaps. Web components are just pieces of DOM. There should be absolutely no issue with them working together?
I believe observablehq is the new bl.ocks.org .

Observablehq scratches such an itch for me. It's exactly what I wanted out of Jupyter, for the cells to be reactive. I just wish I could have it in a desktop app. I'd pay hundreds for that.
How far out of the public eye does your address have to be? I have filed a few patents and I run a company, and both of those put my address in prominently searchable public records. If you dig a little deeper, the deed to my house is a public record accessible through a 15-year-old website, and going even further, you can do a credit report on me and find all of my past addresses.

I know people wish this weren't the case, but your address isn't exactly private information. Anyone can find it easily for anyone else.
What Musk would get is more of what he's already getting: causing pain to the target and fear to others. Whether or not he eventually loses the lawsuit doesn't matter for that.
The fact that MIDI 2.0 was only released in 2020 is mind boggling. It was just really well designed and implemented from the beginning.

I remember the first time I saw MIDI in action: I was in a mall in the mid-to-late 1980s and ComputerLand had a full sized keyboard hooked up to an Apple IIgs, which was playing The Entertainer while the notes scrolled across the screen on a color display. The real piano sound that came out was piped through some great speakers and I thought it was the most amazing technology I had ever seen. Think about that for a second: That tech remained almost untouched for 35 years. Incredible.

This video has a short bit in the middle about one of the first MIDI keyboards which still works with modern equipment (starting at 7:55): The History of the Prophet Synthesizer https://youtu.be/Ruh0B5QKBMs?t=476

And for fun: 1986: MIDI and the MUSICAL MICROS | BBC Archive: https://youtu.be/aADkqmvy44o

Related (non-MIDI) note: I recently found this video about making electronic dance music on an Amiga in the early 1990s and learned quite a lot about how music-techies back then we're geeking out. Super fun - I'm not a musician, so I honestly had no real idea what was possible back then.

I mean, it's the same for me, I'm just on the software side of the company (mostly, I'd say systems because occasionally I have to borrow the PCIe packet analyzer to figure out why something isn't working).

The electronics are a thing I do as a hobby and I try my absolute hardest to ensure work and hobby resources are kept separate. Electronics is sufficiently different from my professional role that it doesn't feel draining as a thing to do on the side. I'm not one of those "spend 8 hours programming/architecting/designing at work only to go home and spend another 6 writing code for fun" kind of people. I definitely write software and learn at home from time to time, but the motivation for doing it on the side is certainly less than it was before I turned it into a full time job. So I tend to gravitate towards things that are interesting to me but not necessarily useful to others.

If you want to host a Minecraft server, ZeroTier is probably better. It has a couple of options that make it easier for third parties to be able to connect including automatically authorizing new connecting nodes, or an option where if you connect to a particular ZeroTier network, anyone with your ZeroTier IPv6 can connect to the corresponding port (I forget their exact name, but it's pretty slick).
You are the problem. I am the problem (someone who’s never driven a car in his life and doesn’t fly in airplanes). Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and everyone else is the problem.

The sad reality is that it doesn’t much matter. The damage we’ve done is baked in and hundreds of millions of people in the next few generations are going to have it pretty rough. Can’t unring the bell of a century+ of society not giving a shit about the environment and just pointing fingers at someone else and calling them the problem.

If you’re loaded, you may as well just take the PJ flights and enjoy them.
This may be naive, but shifting the cost towards families doesn't immediately mean that it must be privatized. Can you not achieve the same goal, making it clear that if your house in a specific area requires higher sewer and infrastructure costs, through something like property taxes? This way you don't get the problems of a HOA?
Direction threats have always been against the law, what you claim is “harming already marginalized groups” is not at all the same thing, and not against the law.

ADS-B is used all over the world, the trend is actually in the opposite direction: more and more airspace requires the use of ADS-B. Encrypting it would defeat the purpose of allowing airplanes to see each other as well (ADS-B to some extent replaces radar).

Congress could presumably pass some law but it would have to be ICAO or some other global organization that would formalize the change. Updating the systems on all aircraft would take many years. The current roll-out has been in progress for more than a decade.

Can you speak a little more about your experiences in Miami? I'm reading this thread and the comments are abstract; I wonder if it does better in specific situations.

I tend to drive on 95 north, in Brickell, Downtown, Little Havana, on the 395 and 112, Miami Beach, north Miami (up to 100th), and to the airport. If it can handle these places it seems like it's something to consider.
Ouch, this makes me glad I don't do iOS development anymore. XCode is such trash.
The top commment though is just wrong. He says Q would be 0.375 with modern lasers. Which would be worse than the result announced today! Q is a factor internal to the fusion reaction, so upgrading to more efficent lasers would not change Q.

Presumably he means something like total energy efficency would be very close to breakeven with modern lasers. You can tell how dubious this is from the fact no one involved in the project says anything like this. In fact, breakeven is still two orders of magnitude away and I don't believe anyone has suggested anything more optimistic.
ChatGPT writes. Hebbia reads. Why they’re a great pair.
GPT-3, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and most recently, Chat-GPT have thrust AI’s ability to create into the mainstream.

But creations alone are often a long way from being helpful –Chat-GPT’s incorrect answers, and the immediate takedown of Meta’s Galactica share a glaring flaw:

Generative models can write responses, but they’re never reading sources or “citing” their work.

At Hebbia, we’re building semantic search “readers” that feed generative “writers” to address these shortcomings of generative models alone:

1. More accurate: Priming models with relevant primary sources

2. More trustworthy: Cite sources behind every generation

3. More easily updated: Updating an index can happen almost instantaneously with no need to retrain a billion (or two trillion!) parameter model ad hoc.
