The reality is that Utah is a theocracy, and BYU (the LDS Church) publishing this is actually a huge step toward positive change. Now the First Presidency can take a stand. If they do take a strong stand I'd expect to see radical changes. If, on the other hand, the LDS Church continues to remain silent, I would expect the environmental catastrophe to continue to lurch forward.

Some people think that we are facing secular stagnation, and the economic growth is slowing down. The avg federal reserve interest rates have been falling at 2% per decade for 5 decades, and signifies less growth in the economy. Sure, this low interest rates have actually fueled the stock market boom as the value of future earnings is high, but the growth is not sustainable. For one, we are going to end up with some stable p/e ratio, and the growth of stock market because of low interest rates will stop. And two, the interest rates will also stop going down as fast, as a rate of say -10% sounds pretty bad in what it means for the economy (negative growth of that magnitude), so people do not think we will have such a situation.
Yes. I don't do it. But those examples were helpful since I don't know Lua.

> They want the increased rent, and it appears they'll get it from me, or the market.

Is that wrong? Do you think you are entitled to live in someone else's property, at a price below what others in the market would pay, for as long as you like?

There has to be some balance here. Someone is contracting to let you live in their property. If they don't get something out of it, why should they do it? Why would anyone be a landlord? And if nobody wanted to be a landlord, wouldn't it be harder for you to find a place to live in your price range?
There are DiY videos for going the cheaper route and just buying a large CO2 canister that will last you a couple years and hook it up to the same device after buying a couple valves. It's on my project list after I finish my kitchen reno.
Another factor to consider is that there may also be significant infrastructure upgrades required to support the increase in population, and costs might increase dramatically when you consider increased water usage in an already drought stricken region.
This is a nice piece, and although I deeply despise cassette tape in almost all of it's forms, I understand the author's point of view.

As a form factor, they are quite nice, and have a comforting rattle. As a medium, they suck arse.

Almost all domestic analogue audio recording media suck. No amount of waffling about "warmth" or authenticity is convincing. People like it because it reminds them of their youth, or a specific timeframe.

vinyl? great cover art, finicky, fragile, terrible dynamic range.

8 track? infinite loop, great. I hope you have a stable winding head.

Cassette? shite.

Its the equivalent of shooting everything with high contrast, pushed ilford black and white film (think super grainy press pictures) or overly green/red saturation of kodachrome. Its great for a specific type of music, but sucks as a general medium

My approach with these tools is to use then for speed, and to resist the (very strong) urge to golf with them.

So I always start with `cat filename | some tool`[1] and refine until the very moment that I think "damn, I can't remember how to do that with sed/awk/jq/xsv/..." and end my pipeline feeding into Python. There's no law against it! And on slow days I go back and figure out how I can do what I want with the other tools.

One way to address this is to somehow turn "little guy" into a "giant". For labor, this was accomplished via unions.

A union of creative minds seems long overdue. It can provide a copyright trust, addressing your concerns, as well as removing the excuse of inability to get permission from n thousand creators used. It can also address matter beyond OSS, such as overreaching employment agreement clauses that assert ownership of everything in your head.

[Possibly 'trust' is more suitable than 'union'. Something like Creative Commons Trust.]
All Mac and iOS developers will eventually be exposed to it. Swift's concurrency support is based on the actor model and has a construct named "actor," which does what it says on the tin.
Honestly totally fine with this and wish high demand items were mostly just auctioned off when they are first released. E.g. graphics cards, concert tickets, etc. They tend to end up in the hands of the people who want them most anyway, just through middle men (scalpers), so might as well have that value go directly to the company/artist.
typically the mechanism by which thyroid hormones are understood to affect weight gain is through appetite (calories in) and metabolic level (calories out) so they probably aren't really an exception to the calories-in-calories-out model

i mean as far as we know they don't enable you to digest carboxymethylcellulose or anything like that (one of the many common additives on my suspect list)

it's not totally inconceivable; some commensal enteric bacteria can digest carboxymethylcellulose, and they generate heat when they do so, and at least when it's cold outside that's heat you don't have to generate by shivering or physical activity, and we have such a poor understanding of what affects the intestinal microbiome that it's actually possible that thyroid hormone levels are important, but there's no evidence suggesting that this is the case as far as i know

but even on industrially produced diets most people probably don't eat enough carboxymethylcellulose and xanthan gum and shit like that for their digestibility to make a significant difference in their caloric intake; as i understand it the reason industrial food engineers use gums like these is that very small amounts of them can greatly increase the viscosity or gelling ability of foods, so you don't have to spend as much money as you would with more traditional thickeners like gelatinized starch

like, three grams of this carboxymethylcellulose i have here can turn 100 grams of water into a thick slime, but i would need about 30 grams of cornstarch to do this (which i would then have to cook)

(i think this is typical but your results may vary depending on the degree of functionalization of your cmc)

so if newly popular gums like this do cause obesity, it's probably through some kind of inflammatory mechanism or something, not by directly supplying calories
They did not. All they did was turn the dryer on to see if any heat was produced. The dryer spun and seemed like it was working, but no heat. So they said heating element and or thermostat. They replace both as a precaution.
"The project would pump 470,000 to 640,000 acre-feet (580,000,000 to 790,000,000 m3) per year of the winter flood flow from the Sacramento River"

Isn't most of the Sacramento River at that point an outflow of Shasta Dam? Lately which we are struggling to fill? The only winter floods its going to be tasting this year are the inflows from tributaries south of Shasta Dam...

Hey Taylor! Good looking site- The minimal theming feels very clean. 2 suggestions jumped out:

1. The font size on homepage is small, especially for the two columns of dates. I can't really read them from across my desk (even on a big monitor). It's also not clear what the dates represent- maybe created and updated dates for each post?

2. The dates aren't present on the post pages themselves, so someone landing directly on a post won't know how old it is.

The normal annual increase, according to Meta's own plan, was on the order of 20,000,000 additional shares. The board of directors authorized the issuance of 425,000,000 additional shares for RSUs and stock grants on top of the 20,000,000 normal annual increase. It seems like this is because the Meta's falling share price means that employees have to be given many more shares in order to hit the same compensation value.
The point you were getting at simply doesn't exist. Ask those ethnic Russians if that's an Estonian or Russian name, they will tell you it's a Russian name.

Writing Russian names in Estonian script does not make them Estonian names.

Exactly. Yep, Samsung. Only a 4 year old dryer too, with good upkeep.
This is a questionable take on two levels.

First, yes, yes there is something magic about SF's geography, it's the closest major city to the largest VC hub in the world. These companies thrive on young talent that prefers to live in a city. It's not dissimilar to the gold rush 170 years ago when you think about it.

Second, what do you mean "San Francisco is just not suitable any more"? The tech companies and their employees are the least impacted by rising housing costs. By and large they are doing alright, so what is their incentive to uproot everything and randomly go roll the dice somewhere else which would A) not have a critical mass of VC in their backyard and B) will offer no guarantee of not reacting exactly the same as SF.

Keep in mind, 20 years ago there was barely any tech in San Francisco proper. Sure there tech employees who chose to live there and suffer the commute to the peninsula, as is their prerogative being free individuals residing in the US. The reason tech moved in was because SF offered tax breaks—they wanted their piece of the tax revenue and daily spending from well-to-do tech workers. If the city really felt tech being there was the problem they have a lot of levers (eg. raise taxes, zoning changes, etc) to push it out. Of course they don't want to do that because it would cause far more economic harm than good. NIMBYs are of course willing to entertain the charade of successful tech companies as the scapegoat because it keeps their home values sky high while deflecting to the amorphous "tech companies", who in fact they have zero control over policy and at best marginal interest in addressing the issue at all.
Having worked on several side projects that involve money, I'll bet most money-related computer systems are full of race conditions and other wacky behavior. There are so many gotchas. For example, just writing a simple "bank account" system/database, it's tricky to ensure in a performant way that concurrent transactions don't bring a user's balance below 0. If you're sending out money via ACH or something, try handling all the ways that can fail and need to be retried.

I trade regular stocks in my Chase account. A few times, it was down for maintenance after-hours, meaning I couldn't enqueue trades to execute the next day. Not a big deal, but doesn't inspire confidence.

Not that suprising given their population, still a better investment into public rail and buses would greatly improve the lives of the people there but Im not sure if that will happen when they can't even get toilets and basic sanitation for most of their population and for the people buying these vehicles it's a luxury and most are not very receptive of public transportation due to the already existing problems.
It should give pause to people who think that the stock market is some sort of science. Macroeconomic conditions and policy influence this stuff.

Ask HN: Magazines Similar to Increment and ACM Queue
I've enjoyed the deep dives into a topic that Increment(https://increment.com/) and ACM Queue (https://queue.acm.org/) excel at. They essentially pick a broad topic and dig fairly deep.

As an example, say you are a backend engineer and need to begin frontend. I'd pick up the frontend exposition of Increment(https://increment.com/frontend/) as a starting point vs anything else.

Are there any similar magazines or websites?
that's really interesting, I wonder what's it's reading to troubleshoot. StackOverflow, presumably? It sound like a handy way of collating multiple answers into one quick, coherent format which would be super helpful.
These AI's will emulate the behavior of our current system, so if such compassion and sympathy exist it will be preserved. Also, consider that the alternative is having a system where people are frequently bullied by people with deeper pockets to pay for good lawyers, which is an immense failure.
Afghanistan was part of large empires like Kushans, Graeco-Bactrians, Achaemeniens, Mauryas, Mughals, etc for long periods. It was also a part of the Silk Route to India through Khyber pass and was the epicenter of Graeco-Buddhist art centers like Bamyan and Mes Aynak. It was not un-navigable.
Even in rural areas? Even if we add in the cost of maintaining infrastructure that runs under the road surface (water, sewer, and gas)?

What does your first sentence mean?
Sure, ROT13 encoding is a derivative work because the entire original work is still there, encoded. Ditto for FFT. Large language models are not that.

Sometimes parts of the original works are still encoded, which we've seen when some code is reproduced verbatim, and I'm sure that happens to people as well, ie. they see some algorithm and down the road have to write something similar and end up reproducing the exact same thing.

Once they iron out those wrinkles, it's not clear to me that a large language model is a directly reversible function of the original works. At least, not any more than a human learning from reading a bunch of code and then going on to have a career selling his skills at writing code.

Edit: by which I mean, LLMs are lossy encodings, not lossless encodings.
i'm not, but that's an interesting conclusion.

my experience is that my 'conscious' thought is a constant thread of language in monologue. i'm not very good at meditation (though i don't practice much) because quieting my internal monologue feels nearly impossible. putting on podcasts helps me fall asleep because i no longer need to generate my own movement, but the external speaking can relax me.

i personally fall slightly more into the (maybe Lacanian) view that language is essential - maybe even primordial - in our formation of subjectivity. i don't necessarily buy into it 'scientifically' per se, but i'm skeptical of pure ideas existing without language, at least in any human subject capable of language. i don't really know, this is one of those places where i'm always fine tuning and changing my thoughts.

Relatedly, tracking food/calories/water consumption in the (free- no need to pay them) Noom app has been useful quantitative insight as well. Rare that the free version of a paid thing has any utility whatsoever.
Do you have any evidence for this, empirically? I mean yes, HFTs aren't going to let their orders sit stale when FOMC announces a giant rate hike, they aren't going to lose a bunch of money to keep the market healthy. But generally when vol is high, liquidity is at a premium, so I would imagine HFTs become a higher percentage of the market (though spreads are still going to be wider).
I'll leave that analysis for you to do and share the results.

Using the historical data set for the S&P500 index, a 3.5% average annual return over a 20 year holding period is approx. 20th percentile.
Sometimes, the constraints make the extra work worthwhile. It’s an engineering problem.

Typically, you’ll see more blades when you have a limited area you can cover with the blades (aka, low wings or stubby wings, or lots of engines relative to the wing size) and need more power/thrust. Adding more engine power is easy enough, if the decrease in overall efficiency and stronger airframe required are ok. It’s not a super common trade off, but it’s not that uncommon.

If the ‘more blades’ math means it’s an even number, then so be it. Balancing them more carefully, strengthening the airframe in problems areas more, etc. is all part of the equation. It is more work though.

You’ll see similar tradeoffs between something like a jet ski water impeller and a cargo ship prop.

Jet engines have similar type of trade offs - max power vs overall efficiency, or efficiency at cruise vs efficiency during variable condition use. Or noise vs power.

The type of engine used in a fighter jet makes very different tradeoffs than in an airliner.

Adding ducting around a prop or fan also allows much higher total thrust for the given real estate, at the cost of weight and a bit of efficiency.

3 is usually the cheap and easy answer. Sometimes it’s even the exhaustive and time consuming answer too!
It’s easy to imagine it moving. The people doing the work are the ICs (individual contributors), and up until recently, SF was the only place to go to have a top notch career in tech. People sacrificed to live in SF as junior to mid level engineers because eventually they would get to the point where they are a senior engineer and make enough to afford housing. But now the housing has gotten so expensive that even the senior ICs have difficulty justifying sticking around because they are on a treadmill that takes years to save enough for a down payment (as prices keep rising). You need like $400k saved to buy in SF and you’ll still end up with a $6000/mo mortgage. You have to be a couple. Enough have figured this is a raw deal and have fled to other places like Seattle and Austin. So many in fact that you can now have just as promising a career today as someone could only get in SF 10-20 years ago. Eventually SF will find it hard to attract new ICs to the area and you’ll end up with an aging cohort of mid level managers, directors and staff level engineers that have fewer and fewer people to manage.

Companies won’t keep increasing total comp for junior engineers in SF when they can grow their offices in other cheaper cities instead.

You need a robust pipeline of junior folks and SF is increasingly strangling that pipeline and other cheaper cities are as attractive as SF once was.

There's nothing naturally indefinite about property rights.

1. In most locales, you have to pay an annual tax for a % of the property's value. If you don't pay it, you'll eventually lose your property. This is closer to rent, than it is to ownership.

2. In other locales, you cannot own property indefinitely. You can only lease it from the state, for some limited period of time.

3. Eminent domain and squatters rights, and when things really go to shit politically, land reform at the point of a bayonet.

... And, as another comment mentions, there's nothing indefinite about water. Overuse it this year, and you won't have any next year.
