You're right in terms of economic output, but that's not the only measure, particularly when it comes to politics; small farmers might not do much for the economy, but they still vote.

I'm supportive of doing something about how water is allocated, but a strategy that writes off the meaningful number of marginal farmers as economic noise is a strategy that results in tons of opposing ads with genuinely sympathetic characters.
No, but to be fair I am a surface user, there are probably some power features in there that are not replicated.

Wife and I moved down to Cedar City/Enoch area, it's nice here but airbnb is making rents horrible, we need a housing boom or something to lower housing rates but that's another issue and prevalent all over the state. The air here is much easier though, except sometimes during fire season.

We were in provo, and I like the cities up there, but I don't think we'll ever go back. I definitely wouldn't want to live there when the arsenic clouds kick up.
It's mighty white of Master "William" to have penned this piece.

[Edit: it may offend your sensibilities; that is a good sign, for we may have made some modest progress. When I was young, "mighty white" was used in public and unironically.]
> > Since they don’t need to expend resources to stake, they can simply increase their overall staking amount as they earn ongoing coins from staking rewards, and exponentially grow their influence on the network over time,

> Every staker increases their stake by the same percentage; each one is just holding on to their share of the pie; there is no exponentially growth.

Aren't you missing here that there's a certain threshold below which holders practically do not stake? All those people with low balances do not get this "same percentage".

Maybe you can compare it to a savings bank account. It is mostly small amounts of money which reside in pockets or wallets or piggy banks. They don't earn interest as the larger amounts in savings accounts do.
Most people with little money do not get any interest on the little they have, whereas wealthy people often manage their wealth so that they have gains.

So I claim that there's indeed an exponential effect that will shift the percentages over time. And it should lead to accumulation instead of distribution.

This Hofstadter piece is what got me on board with the idea that long term English should use singular "they" by default. Race doesn't belong in our pronoun system and neither does gender.

Misguided environmental sentiment based on the status quo after the flood but not before?

The flood was part of an irrigation project to bring water to the desert. Irrigation of the imperial valley from the Colorado river continues today. For decades after the flood, excess water from farms would trickle into the slowly drying lake, and people got used to it being there. They also got used to the lack of dust from the dry lakebed.

Now that it is going back to it's "natural" state, people don't like the prospect.

I am one of those tech workers that moved to the Bay Area. The chance of me living here in 20 years is essentially zero. The governments here were granted a golden era of prosperity and have mostly squandered it.

Trillions of dollars have been minted here, but you wouldn’t know it just by driving around. Public services are abysmal. Horrible public transportation.

In another 20 years if the winds shift to some other place in the country/world people will look back at Silicon Valley and ask how it could manage not to thrive, and the inescapable answer is greed and incompetence.
All these little apps are really impressive from a web development point of view. Shows a real mastery of css, canvas, browser apis, JS, etc. Kudos.
Reddit's larger subs, particularly their political ones, are 100% content farming and ideological cults. Subs with hundreds of thousands of millions of subscribers that regurgitate twitter screenshots with timestamps removed, and where dissent is often banned. Antiwork, Latestagecapitalism, WhitePeopleTwitter, and many others.

Related, I got banned from entertainment for saying an exchange between jk Rowling and a trans person wasn't "mocking". I didn't defend her, I just called out a shitty title.

When I messaged the mods saying, in essence, "y'all are dumb and need to distinguish fact from opinion" they flagged me for harassment, which is one demerit away from a sitewide ban.

I know some mods are decent, and it's better in smaller subs with some actual purpose (city, hobby) that isn't memes, violence, porn or politics. Any of those categories, and with subs of any large size, and it gets really scummy really fast.

(Shout out to r/Texas mods for not sucking).

I can think about Stanford as the first one... the other one is probably Berkeley. I'm quite surprised they both are in world's top ten universities - actually, skeptical about that. "Incredible natural beauty" is not only at least somewhat subjective, but definitely is not exclusive to SF. Weather is good, but even Honolulu and Miami would argue, not to mention quite a few other places, even if they are minority overall - so the weather is not that unique.

People - yes, currently the state of the people is well tuned in favor of SF (SFBA). But the question still remains.
I have a ton of custom log monitoring written in awk/sed because it's way faster to process it that way in shell scripts than it would be in python. The key thing is that it doesn't need to allocate any memory and that it's by default processing text streams, which means by default you're just zipping the log files through the processor cache and outputting the result to a file to get emailed off.

It's important to realize that when you have gigabytes of data you need to analyze that you can go really fast this way. Python sure does have stuff like StringIO, but it just doesn't feel like the right kind of tool for that job. A ton of stuff is just columnar data like CSV or log files out there, and people have been using shell tools to process them for decades.

If you're having a hard time reading your complicated awk one liners, I suggest pretty printing it. [1] Plenty of people are using this in production by writing scripts in files.

Ultimately I suspect if they wanted to make these in significant volume, die casting or loss wax casting then machining would be correct route forward. 3D printing metal is expensive and the parts are likely to not be as strong. Most 3D printing (sintering) processes for metal result in a slightly porous part that needs sealing, those small gaps produce imperfections.

Take a look at turbine blades in jet engines, they are incredibly complex with tiny air holes. They are made using a loss wax then machining process.

Do you people have any more open social channels? I used to be active a bit on CrossValidated (my favorite math problems are in probability and stats), but something more social could be nice.
- check wikivoyage.org (not wikitravel which is a commercial spin-off). Especially the "getting there" and "getting around" sections. Useful is a place has multiple airports. wikivoyage also has best info on getting from airport to inner-city and its costs, sometimes better than the airport's website.

- check climate diagram (average monthly temperatures at day/night) to guess what clothes to pack

- check Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in the US I guess that's the State Department). In my country they publish lists, one per country on visa requirement and current affairs, e.g. security incidence, lately also COVID-19 requirements and restrictions

- seatguru.com open while booking a flight. To avoid sitting next to the toilet

- https://www.avuxi.com/topplace/location-page to figure where the shopping and night-life areas of a city are on a heatmap. https://www.google.com/travel/hotelsmap has similar map layers one can switch on

- Before the actual trip I check just about everything: pricing of public transport, location of ATM in the airport arrival area, where to best exchange money, scams and areas to avoid

Except that ChatGPT can do this because internally it computes embeddings at many levels of abstraction that jointly represent entities (concepts) such as "the couch," "the room," "chopping," "placing," "the closet," etc. IOW, internally, ChatGPT manipulates symbols (distributed representations) of those entities.

Moreover, note that each token embedding inside ChatGPT represents, quite literally, the semantic and syntactic properties of a token in a context at a different level of abstraction. Each token embedding is in fact... a symbol.

The fact that token embeddings are symbols representing other things is one of several reasons why I think that ultimately it may be possible to bridge the "symbolic" and "connectionist" approaches, as I wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34278478
Who knows? Pretty easily 40 million like Tokyo has, and that would already be more than double the current population. Possibly much more.

There are a lot of people held back by nothing but cost, so dropping prices would increase demand. There are also people held back by other factors, but some of those would also likely be relieved by building more housing.

I've generally found planning a trip very laboursome, and I think it's something that I could improve on.

Main thing I'd like to improve is discovering activities or attractions in a destination area; I've seen people use travel guide books, like Rough Guides or Lonely Planet: might explore that; also, heard of for-hire travel planners (Rough Guides seems to have a service, for example), which would be awesome, if the planning was actually high quality and well tailored (anyone has experience with that?).

A tip I have is that kiwi.com has better search functionality than skyscanner, and their support is great. I use their search functionality with very loosely defined parameters (e.g. from [country] to [country or region or continent] any time), and gradually hone in on the parameters I'm interested in. And their support was a breath of fresh air when my flight was cancelled with a notice of ~1 hour and I needed an alternative itinerary: they put me to the front of the queue in their call center, and gave me plenty of options and helped tailor a custom itenerary based on my specific circumstances, all that for ~1-5 euros commission when first buying the ticket.

You get to live in New York City which is unparalleled in the US in terms of urban amenities. The weather can be brutal though.

Or you live in Chicago which is like, still a solid city, but the weather is even worse.

I would disagree that trading firms are more boring than big tech. They are typically much smaller and leaner (even HRT and JS are like sub 2k?), and generally employees have massively more impact and ownership as opposed to being a cog in a 20k developer machine.
Then let the German government define what is information, misinformation, and disinformation.

Good luck. Governments want private companies to do their dirty work. But in this case, simply refuse and they have to back down or create the rules themselves. Don't think they are going to take on full censorship responsibilities.

The "The Obvious Answer to Homelessness" by Jerusalem Demsas, published by The Atlantic (linked in another comment by thamer) argues that this hypothesis is falsified, and can cite research:

> Few Republican-dominated states have had to deal with severe homelessness crises, mainly because superstar cities are concentrated in Democratic states. Some blame profligate welfare programs for blue-city homelessness, claiming that people are moving from other states to take advantage of coastal largesse. But the available evidence points in the opposite direction—in 2022, just 4 percent of homeless people in San Francisco reported having become homeless outside of California. Gregg Colburn and Clayton Aldern found essentially no relationship between places with more generous welfare programs and rates of homelessness. And abundant other research indicates that social-welfare programs reduce homelessness.

It reminds me of Justin Hall's story about holding out and refusing to sell "bud.com" to Budweiser.

Instead he just hung onto it, and eventually used it for his own bud delivery company, once recreational cannabis was finally legalized.

He was much happier that great three-letter domain name be used for something he loves, strong kind bud, instead of something he hates, weak piss beer.

>In 1999 I was contacted by a lawyer Steven M. Weinberg, representing Anheuser-Busch, makers of Bud beer.

>We chatted by phone: “So, you’re a college student!”

>Actually I graduated the year before.

>He continued: “Well, how does $50,000 sound for bud.com?”

>I replied that $50k should be the interest generated by the money someone pays for bud.com. This is a three letter, actual word, dot com domain, and if I’m going to see it on every beer can you make forever, I should at least be well compensated. I remember reading that the marketing budget for Budweiser beer that quarter was $16.1 million. BUD was the company’s stock symbol.

>I wasn’t going to sell lightly, and they weren’t going to bid against themselves, so we didn’t get anywhere.

The story about his fight to register the four-letter domain name fuck.com is also hilarious:

If you have 5x 8oz cups that are only 25% full, and you add enough water to fill up the 5th cup so that its 100% full, you've still got 24oz of water missing, that needs to catch up.

Yeah, but software engineers are better at many things than professionals in their fields. The classic example is Jeff Bezos and gang stopping their companies from flying people to/from China a month before US authorities reacted to COVID-19. They also cancelled conferences two weeks before shelter-in-place and asked people to work from home.

Tech professionals said that masks would help in the early stages while the US Surgeon General said "Masks don't work!" and Dr. Fauci said that you shouldn't be wearing any.

This is the magic of tech: the people there are there for comparative advantage. They would be better than epidemiologists at epidemiology and better than public health experts at public health. But they're much better at tech than epidemiologists and public health experts are at tech, and so they go to tech.

In a similar vein, I would be unsurprised to find that new insights about history come from technologists. Of course, I don't think this is one.
Fair enough, and I've done it just in SBCL like that before, but everyone always sings the praises of Lisp's (+ SLIME's) amazing debugging, and without the ability to stop at a certain stack frame and explore, I feel like I'm debugging with a blindfold on at all times.
