Hopefully you can take a multipart approach. Transit needs to improve by an equal measure. The North Shore still doesn't have a train. Most of the trains that do run take too long, and the highways just don't flow like modern highways. That reduces the utility of land. It doesn't matter if you build a house in Helensville if nobody's going to utilize it because it's a 50 minute drive to the city. I get that people do it, but people try not to. And it's not bad bad, but it's bad enough that it disincentivizes utilization.
"Hooked" seems like kind of a strong word. It's not like MS encouraging piracy of Office. You're not locked in.
There are lots of alternatives.

If anything, Netflix has undercut that. They have a well-known habit of introducing shows and canceling them. You can't be hooked on Warrior Nun. If you want to know the ending of Fate: The Winx Saga, subscribing to Netflix won't help.

So yeah, they want more cash for their service, but it seems weirdly entitled to me for people to demand that password sharing continue. They always knew it wasn't the intended use.
I can't remember the keyword to look it up, but there's a problem of statistics you run into with stuff like terrorism detection algorithms

If we have 300M people in the US and only 1k terrorists, then you need 99.9999% accuracy before you start getting more true positives than false positives. If you use this in a classroom where no one is actually using AI you'll get false positives, and in a class where the usage is average you'll still get more false positives than true ones, which makes the test do more harm than good unless it's just a reason to look into it more - and the teacher is presumably already reading the text so if that doesn't help than this surely won't

Where I currently work (academia), it's a litmus test. At least for faculty and management staff, if you don't submit an appropriately florid DEI statement, you won't get hired. This makes me a bit sad.
That was not my point. I agree that maybe art should not be commercial at all. That maybe there should be only amateurs and hobbyists. And I agree that people will just find work in some other form.

My point was that the skill pipeline will be nuked. Amateurs and hobbyists will not have sufficient time and resources to reach the same skill level and eventually there will not be enough amateurs and hobbyists to teach others in a sustainable way and keep the craft going forward. The existence of formal training is important because it provides structure, continuity and certain knowledge is only highlighted in a formal setting. Hobbyists too benefit from networking with professionals.

To move away from art to a different creative field, imagine how the software ecosystem would look if there were only hobbyists and AIs(in the service of corporations creating all of the commercial software). It might be a hobbyist FLOSS utopia but certain knowledge would simply be inaccessible. Say you are a hobbyist and have a tricky question solved by some obscure but commonly thought algorithm, who are you going to ask? The AIs have no reason to spend time on StackOverflow. If an AI can write all software, I see no particular societal need for people to be formally trained in software engineering, yet I think humanity would be worse off by having lost this knowledge.

AIs will be appliances not tools. Like appliances, they will serve their purpose but unlike tools they will not elevate the user in any way. Any skill, knowledge or capability an AI has will be sealed within the black box of AI. This goes against one of the defining features of the human species, the ability to transmit knowledge by encoding it.
All of the issues you just mentioned are much more expensive on a per capita basis to deal with in spread-out car-centric suburbs than in dense cities. Indeed if these are the issues that you actually care about them you should be championing as many people living in dense cities in possible. Such people use much less water, can much more efficiently be served by emergency services, generate way less car traffic, etc., etc. This law being enforced is a win-win as far as you're concerned.

Do all major tech companies really register that many domains? I assumed that becoming a registrar was more about pushing your control up the pipeline to reduce risk if things like losing your domain name was the main reason. Rather than saving money on registrations.

Do you genuinely believe this is still an open question?

I won't dispute the argument that maybe it was a mistake, but to me it seems indisputable the ship has sailed.

I might buy the argument that any "mandatory" websites - government, library, academic - should be operational without Javascript.

But in the casual or entertainment domain, noone is obligated to provide their users an operational Javascript-free website. If you can't read something without Javascript, that's a you problem.

> Unfortunately, it does not mean you get lower cost of housing (prices here are still astronomical, and while they look cheaper in comparison to California, is only because of the severely reduced income locals make -- prices are still at record-all-time highs)

Had it for years on the road for work and it was a life saver, never having to search for stations and listening to ads all the time. When I started working local I dropped it for streaming and that was good enough.

A few years later I was taking a multi state trip and reactivated, when I got back I re-subbed both vehicles. It's any kind of radio with almost no interruptions and it's worth the price.
Parks cannot replace yards as long as the homeless camps exist across every existing park in my city.
I'm sure at town meetings there are plenty of unsavory things said, and people with prejudices show up in disproportionate numbers. It's just not accurate or OK to imply that all property owners seeking to keep their neighborhoods from rapidly changing to higher densities are doing so out of prejudice. Give people the benefit of believing they are primarily motivated by rational self interest rather than some irrational prejudice.

I totally agree parks are an amazing solution and can create really nice places for kids to play safely. We love our parks. That said, even if the end product is objectively better for the current homeowners due to new amenities, etc. there is still a long period of lots of construction they'll have to endure that might be the only years their kids are at an age where they'd normally be wandering the previously quiet neighborhood. None of this is simple, and it's going to be a trade-off between the valid interests of the existing property owners and the valid interests of the larger metro area population that needs a place to live.
That seems to match with a shutter vendor that says "50 microsecond rise time 1.3 millisecond fall time". So I guess 'rising' is going dark, and 'falling' is going clear.

Or 'rising' means changing the natural state of the crystal (thus rotating 90° the polarization), and 'falling'... well, falling back to the natural resting state. It makes some sense that falling back when unenergized is slower than rising.

Now it'd be interesting to know what happens during rise and fall time. Progressive linear polarization? Waiting time until the crystal reacts?

> For one if zoning laws change tomorrow no one is going to bulldoze those neighborhoods on Thursday.

I’m so in favor of up zoning, but some parts of California will be quickly thrust into a new reality.

Santa Monica was the first town to
fail the housing element. They previously had 1600 houses built in the last 8 years. Since failing recently, developers have submitted permits for 4000 units. That’s 20x above the yearly average. If I was a “desirable” town, I’d be very nervous to not comply.

If I owned property in one of those towns I’d have been advertising it to developers hard too.
> This is already the case for educational software that's used to detect plagiarism. People get wrongly flagged, and then you'll have to plead your case.

How often is that the case though? A while since I've had to worry about it, but I thought plagiarism detection generally worked on the principle of looking for the majority of the content being literal matches with existing material out there with only a few small edits, which - unlike using some "AIish" turns of phrase a bot wrongly attributes to humans 9% of the time and correctly attributes to AI with a not much better success rate - is pretty hard to do accidentally.
Yes! Anything from Cantrill is fantastic.
Having worked at Heroku and had a large part in building Heroku Postgres I do not recall this explicit policy, and it seems very squirrelly to me. Maybe this came in as a policy in recent years and it is the case, but still seems like hiding behind a policy as opposed to doing right by customers.

You could easily block all incoming connections to the database. For a free database of 10k rows there were no SLAs, and you would still technically be hosting the database.

Even taking a dump and emailing it to me feels like a safer option here.

There were better answers here for sure. If the honest answer is we just didn't feel the effort was worth it for this class of users at least own that.
You could even just set up a GAN to make the AI better at not being detected as something written by an AI, I don't see a good general solution to this, but I also see it as a non-issue - if students have better tools they should be able to use them, just like a calculator on a test - that's allowed on tests because you still need to understand the concepts to put it to use
Nearly all studies regarding suburban vs. urban streets have shown that suburban streets have significantly higher rates of child deaths and injuries than urban streets.

Character is the worst part of any area. They are preserving old buildings that cannot be made energy efficient without a large investment, while making that investment illegal as well. All in name of preserving a building just because it is 'old'.

Sure there are a few buildings that are historic and should be preserved, but the vast majority are only old, and have no other historic value.
In my thought experiment, let's say that I tease out the requirements but the machine implements absolutely everything. That's the question I'm driving at. How do I verify the software's functional and non-functional requirements have been implemented correctly, and is a programming language required for that so that I can check the machine's work?
I used ChatGPT to rewrite a number of paragraphs of my own writing earlier today. It rewrote them completely. I just pasted those into this detection tool and it responded for both "The classifier considers the text to be unlikely AI-generated."

So it can not detect AI re-written/augmented text it seems, even things that ChatGPT itself generates.

Confirming how people feel by repeating what they've said back to them is the greatest consulting superpower ever.

"So you are worried if this data model is too complex, performance will suffer? And you're doubtful if our product can help without slowing down your existing delivery SLAs."

By understanding them they trust you to respect their wishes and represent them when they're not in the room.

Whenever they think about the things that worry or stress them the most, they'll think of you (this is a good thing when you are essentially paid on being thought of.)

And if you can address not just the actual issues but how they feel about them, the word of mouth happens all by itself. Sometimes they even invite you to their kids' birthdays!

Professional empathy is amazingly effective.
The world isn't black and white.

You can have increased density with mandated affordable housing without needing high rise developments.
This is GREAT news. American zoning laws, that have led to vast swaths of single-family-home-only zones, are an absolute disaster. There are plenty of car-dependent SFH-only suburban neighborhoods in existence where fans of SFHs will always be able to find them, and they're not going anywhere. I live in a SFH myself. But in congested cities, *no more of that crap needs to be built!* It's as inappropriate of a land use in a place like SF or Oakland as a 20-acre cornfield.

A real city is better when you can walk to things near where you live, like offices, doctors, restaurants, etc. You get that so easily with housing on top, businesses below. And businesses interspersed with the housing. It just works.
Lol , you think they would care about black people if the companies didn’t want to signal?
> Overriding local, more direct democracy (in theory) could be anti-democratic in my view.

Your theory is bunk, that's my point. What pits people against each other are exclusionary housing laws that the wealthy use to keep poor people separate from them, not the words we use to describe that choice.

> But you can make cases for both. For every "We don't like the zoning because it keeps the place expensive" there's "we don't care what the residents want this toxic waste dump has to go somewhere.

No you can't, because the people who promote exclusionary housing laws always want to solve the issue by putting the toxic waste dump where the poor live. Never mind that the wealth in their community is directly correlated to generating the toxic waste in the first place. When a wealthy elite foist all of their externalities on the masses, that's oligarchy baby.

It's fine to hold that as your ideal, I'm not a purist, but don't claim that's democracy by any modern definition.

"Basically how things were built pre-WW2?"

Or, like many places still build them today?
This feels a little bit like a rhetorical trick. You're right that there is _something_ similar about training a person and programming a computer, but I'd hardly call the two things directly analogous. It strains the definition of the word train to say you trained a computer with a python script and it strains the definition of the word programmed to say you programmed a person to play the cello.

Tech people see everything as essentially similar to tech, but its come to be my understanding that biological systems are a fundamentally different kind of thing than technological ones.
Is it? My ThinkPad running Linux goes to sleep and wakes up just fine.
> I don't think he needs this

He may not, but people he donated to would like it. The implication here is that we ought not bother looking any further into his claims that his donations might be some form of corruption funded by conning a large number of people out of billions of dollars because 'both sides' benefited financially therefore it is all awash.

> anybody with more than a passing awareness knows that he's an EA type

He's not any type that you or I can "know" because he is a duplicitous conman. Or, I suppose, he is the duplicitous conman type.

At this point, it's up to your own imagination to determine whether or not he was lying about this particular piece of information. You seem to have decided he must be telling the truth because despite all of the other lies about his business, there isn't a logical reason (to you) that he would put out a statement, with no actual evidence, about making "dark" money donations to the other side prior to making massive public donations to the one side during an election year.

Just like you, I don't know if he's lying or not. I do know that if he has a vested interest in confirming his statements, he most certainly could release further documentation showing he made "dark" money donations. I mostly do not believe him because the lack of effort in proving it and the completely stupid notion of referring to his donations as "dark" money, like somehow I'm supposed to believe there's no paper trail, at all, of his donations. This is absurd.
What would be fairest is to let a competing startup have their launch thread without trying to interfere with it. Each startup deserves its own day in the sun.

Even if we find a novel semiconductor that can scale 1000x better then silicon transistors (say DNA semiconductors), then we are still limited by classical computing. Meaning our most intelligent systems are still just good old statistical inference (I say still, but statistical inference is really powerful, and getting 1000s of orders of magnitude better at statistical inference means a world of amazing discoveries).

Perhaps quantum computing will enable new kinds of inference, then we will need to scale superconductors like we did transistors in the past 75 years, that is possible (not in the next 10-15 years though; 30-40 years is more realistic). However I don’t think this will lead to anything more then amazing statistical inference. People theorized artificial neural networks way back in the 1940s and we already had algorithms for it in the 1970s. I’m not aware of any algorithms, not even theoretical ones that gives us AGI, on any computing device (not even quantum computers).

Housing right next to highways is pretty bad. There's a huge amount of pollution, both particulate and noise, and depending on the layout, also light. Constant exposure to all of those will quickly lead to a variety of chronic conditions and generally make one miserable.
