> Are they? Isn't it possible that people who live in beautiful neighborhoods with mature trees, nice big yards, and low traffic streets that are safe for kids to play around, want to keep them that way for primarily those reasons?

For one if zoning laws change tomorrow no one is going to bulldoze those neighborhoods on Thursday. So everyone already in their "safe" neighborhood will remain "safe". Except in rare circumstances no one is going to build a 10-lane expressway behind that tract of "safe" houses.

Second you've got to be realistic about the socioeconomic factors behind those "safe" suburbs.

The small, often winding suburban streets are largely impenetrable to buses and completely immune to light rail. This means public transit often used by "those people" (for whatever local definition of "those") is inaccessible from inside the "safe" suburban housing tracts. This is exacerbated by many suburbs lacking sidewalks. Inaccessibility of public transit was a design criteria for early suburbs preventing anyone that could afford a house but not a car from moving to them.
Use of logic, even if via 'AI', still doesn't eliminate logical fallacies.
Tools like this are promising and needed but this still needs work. I gave it two sets of 100% AI generated text. It said possibly for one and very unlikely for the other. Very unlikely example here: https://i.imgur.com/XoFQuYE.png https://i.imgur.com/PwGzTBM.png

You mean like all the medium-density neighborhoods of San Francisco? American R-1 suburbs are a nightmare for kids, and that's why you never see any kids outside there, tell me how this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Menlo+Park,+CA/@37.4562493...

, in one of America's most expensive suburbs, is any sort of safe for kids.
Absolutely. I think it may have to end up more as a statistics thing with behaviour. For example:

"Tom had a single paragraph flag as possibly generated" vs "Every single paper Tom writes has paragraphs flag"

Basically we might have to move to detecting statistical outliers as cheating. Now whether the tools/teachers will understand/actually do that - we can only hope....
Removing fare collection itself improves bus service (less time spent at stops as boarding can happen at all doors)

Setting that aside, this legislation also includes $10m/year in funding to further enhance bus service:

- Creating new routes

- Extending hours (all night service on key routes)

- Shortening headways between buses

The latest quadsort version sorts 8 elements at a time. It's not really a sorting network, and it wouldn't have worked very well prior to branch prediction, or having a multitude of registers.

So basically all the work that had been done for decades has become useless because it was carried out on different hardware. It's possible that 2 or 3 people wrote an algorithm similar to quadsort, and discarded it for being slow.

Anyways, quadsort is in fact exceptionally fast. I understand people doubt the benchmark and think it is rigged or something. I assure you it is not, plenty of people have checked and ran the benchmark themselves.

Any bets on whether eliminating zoning has any effect on the number of "people living in fucking tents?" In my experience, the people in tents aren't waiting with a down payment that's a few tens of thousands short of market. I think you're right that the solution here is being driven by homelessness. I also think it's more progressive wishful thinking.
Yes but I don't think it'll affect residential.

Again we're on the same page, walking is superior to driving. Although the pesky cars often make it more dangerous and there are limits that make walking impractical at times.

Explain how this is a direct screwing over please. It seems fairly indirect. Did they enter into a contract with you for an affordable home and then broke it? Did they jack up your rent and evict you? Or did they lobby their government for a policy you don’t like and could, along with other factors, cause your rent to go up? If it’s the latter, that’s pretty indirect.

> Why go out of you way just to be rude?

That is totally fair, but it's worth noting that this exact topic has been beaten to depth multiple times on HN over the past weeks/months. That's probably why you get some gruff replies at this point.

But it's also fair to note that you weren't asking a question, you were claiming to know the answer, but were wrong. That also gets gruff replies ;-).
Fari enough: let me clarify. Because California gets so little tax from property, it must get more from income taxes. That has a couple of negative consequences.

The nice thing about property taxes is that housing prices change slowly, even in boom/bust cycles -- essentially they are coupled to a dashpot. While income, especially in California with a progressive system coupled with most of the high earners paying cap gains, leading to large swings (further influenced by the Fed).

Also property taxes are the main source of municipal and school funding; with property taxes artificially pulled low, the state needs to step in instead. In addition, the structure of Prop 13 discourages people from moving which reduces the availability of housing stock.

Prop 13 wouldn't be so bad if it excluded commercial buildings (including rental properties) and didn't have the huge inheritance loophole. But neither of those is likely to change.

The reason I mentioned the coupling between prop 13 and exclusion: Californians voided all restrictive covenants in the 60s, which lead to more selective zoning restrictions; Prop 13 came from conservative southern californians and (due to the stickiness mentioned above, including a retroactive valuation reduction and the inheritance loophole) locked a lot of "those" buyers out of the existing neghborhoods.
I assumed the value prop of being on Heroku in 2023 was purely "not having to do the pain in the butt to migrate your legacy app that you made on Heroku in the pre-2010 era" - in other words, I would be really shocked if Heroku got significant new business or any growth at all, now that it's just expensive AWS with some basic CI integration points.

I also assume Salesforce only bought them as a cash generator and has no interest in investing in it. So if they saved bottom line from this move, that's a win for them.

(Feel free to correct my assumptions if I'm very wrong)
I recently got a CO2 meter for our living room. The results are shockingly bad. I can't imagine having humidity issues from the sources you cite without also first having unhealthy CO2 levels.

We've settled on always leaving one window slightly open if it is windy outside, or 2-3 on still days.

> Isn't it possible that people who live in beautiful neighborhoods with mature trees, nice big yards, and low traffic streets that are safe for kids to play around, want to keep them that way for primarily those reasons?

Yes that is absolutely something people want. You can get that in cities if you give up on yard and instead share with parks. That said, some of the reasons people want it are uncomfortable.

Some people don’t like change and moved somewhere based on how it looked in <year>, understandable, but change is a part of life especially as our population grows. Streets that are safe for kids are common in many parts of the world, in many different city structures, not just suburbs. So the “family friendly” myth about suburbs isn’t true.

Regarding uncomfortable truths, if you go and listen to some of the town meetings, you’ll walk away with a couple points, of varying degrees of prejudice.

Some people simply want it to be “exclusionary” to keep prices up, and to keep themselves feeling special. Those people in town meetings may suggest paying for affordable housing in another town to keep theirs as is.

Some people will say they don’t want affordable housing because “we all know that those people bring crime”. This can be a varying degree of prejudice, whether it’s low income people or racial minorities, but invariably someone always says it.
I used a Model 3 1 year ago and I didn't think it was great. It relies too much on a touch screen and moves the position sometimes of key elements like air and seat control. Do you have one? Has this changed recently?

Eh... The mp3 decoder can generate copyrighted music if you feed it the right inputs...

Likewise, in this work they prime the pump by using exact training prompts of highly duplicated training images. And then you have to generate 500 images from that prompt to find 10 duplications. You've really gotta want to find the duplicates, which indicates that these are going to be extremely rare in practice, and even more rare once the training data is hardened against the attack by deduplication.
Personally speaking, I'd remove the word 'weaponizing', it is the unnecessary catchy bit and distracts from the more important ADHD portion of 'hyperfocus'. That said, the rather rambling aspect of the blog post itself doesn't convey hyperfocus at all to me.

That said, the way the title is now, seems most appropriate, it is simple and conveys the content of the post.

I see that the blog post on the tailscale website is also marked as 'personal'... and I'd argue that a corporate website isn't the appropriate place for a blog post like this. It is the first post marked as such, so maybe it is an experiment to see how it goes. I'm all for that, but this seems like a big miss to me personally.

ChatGPT is already quite effective at deceiving these models with simple prompts like, “write the output in a way that seems human and not AI generated, so as to bypass AI-written text detectors.”
They absolutely can.

In the end it should be their right... but... what happens now, is that they underpay for the infrastructure and services they get.

> What source do you get the 20% from?

The 20% figure might be outdated now after the Ukrainians liberated Khersonks'ka Oblast north of the Dnipro. The NYT most recently put the figure at 18%[0].

> As to the total erasure of Ukraine I am also unaware of any evidence that this is true. I always appreciate being informed and would love an authoritative source on this if you(or anyone) can provide it.

The russians are only rarely going to state their aims so blatantly. It is only recently that kremlin officials admitted that the soldiers who invaded Ukraine in 2014 were indeed kremlin-backed. Until recently, they denied it.

You can see fact #2 here[1] for a more detailed explanation, but to really understand the kremlin's perspective, there's quite a lot of material you need to follow and digest.

More explanation from Carnegie[2]:

> The Kremlin’s logic appears to stem from its thesis about the “artificial” nature of Ukrainian statehood. If Ukraine was “constructed” by Lenin in 1918, as Moscow now insists, then it can be just as easily and legitimately “deconstructed”: its neighbors have the right to claim Ukrainian territory, which Russia will not oppose. Indeed, it has already made a head start by declaring the annexation of four Ukrainian regions in September.

I have Ukrainian residence and I was living in Ukraine for most of last year. I also have many personal and professional relationships in the country, so this imperialist war and the innumerable war crimes committed are of special importance to me. I have literally watched missiles fly and explode in the sky from my kitchen window.

> Based on the personal attacks at the end,

Sorry, my outrage isn't directed at you specifically. It is directed towards anyone who parrots kremlin propaganda. For some reason, this is all too common among intellectuals like Chomsky and his ilk who struggle with the painfully basic principle that the enemy of your enemy is not your friend.

This is why AI assisted app development will help tremendously in reducing the cost for startup founders. It will certainly reduce the number of hours required to develop an app and businesses should not run out of money trying to develop one.
The startup I'm working at is basically trying to do exactly that as a service, but a one-off thing for a regular Python application shouldn't be as hard to figure out as it is. Can you link to the Mastodon thread (darn lack of search!) and we can continue there?
It's not good by any means, but neither is most assigned, casual, or rote writing.

10,000 students are writing some crappy essay on the Great Depression every day, and ChatGPT has probably trained on a zillion of these. It's optimized to produce those mediocre essays really efficiently, and that's very disruptive to how teachers have been working with students for the last century or so. The internet (and fraternity filing cabinets) were already straining this kind of pedagogy, but ChatGPT breaks it wholesale.
That seems like it defeats the whole concept of the term. As I understand it, depending on ones perspective, the point of STEM was:

- Things to study to make a good income.

- Things to study to help America maintain technical strength.

- Things that capitalists want you to study.

Art doesn't seem to relate to any of those. (Not saying art is bad. Just that it doesn't seem like it belongs with the others.)

1. first day of class, write a N word essay and sign a release permitting this to be used to detect cheating. The essay topic is chosen at random.

2. digitize & feed to learning model, which detects that YOU are cheating.

upside: this also helps detect students who are getting help (e.g. parents)

downside: arms race as students feed their cheat-essays (memorize their essays?) into AI-detection models that are similarly trained.

Note that in Allison's Algorithm, that second ADD should actually be an ADC. (I say this both because that's what's in the original paper and because checking it myself that's what works -- it's needed to add the 1 for A through F, so you don't get @ through E instead. Didn't check the second one.)

Herokai here. Unfortunately we had no choice on the data retention front — once we’ve disconnected your database, we aren’t ALLOWED to hold your data for more than 30 days.

Any solution here is just an arms race. The better AI's get at generating text, the more impossible the job of identifying if an AI was responsible for writing a given text sample.
Detectors can be a black box "pay $5 per detection" type service.

That way, you can't fire thousands of texts at it to retrain your generative net.

Plagiarism detectors in schools and universities work the same. In fact, some plagiarism detection companies now offer the same software to students to allow them to pay some money to pre-scan their classwork to see if it will be detected...
