Cities are still too low of a government level, because cities can choose to reap the rewards of a booming metro area economy, while pushing housing supply and the associated growing pains onto everyone else. See: my native bay area, and its disastrous housing situation.

Bare minimum, you need to solve this at the metro area level. But since metro area governments don't really exist (at least in the US), it has to be the state. Which is exactly what's happening right now in the bay area (state law coming into force that's forcing cities to either adopt a serious growth plan that accommodates significantly more housing, or lose their zoning powers entirely).

edit: also note that this

> Individual neighborhoods can’t block a city-wide vote.

isn't really accurate. It's common to have zoning that allows for more housing on paper, but then the existence of community meetings that the housing commission or whoever listens to means that developers have to abide whatever the neighborhood residents at the meetings say they want, and sometimes what they want is no denser housing near themselves for any reason.

Just because you can build more on paper doesn't mean you can actually build. The US largely doesn't have "as of right" development rules. There's one set of transparent regulations that are put there democratically, and another set of opaque regulations that exist only in the minds of whichever locals are most motivated to show up to the neighborhood meetings.
That's a completely unrelated feature, intended for web development?

It also didn't end up being very useful, and they removed it in 2016.
I worked for the biggest building supply/manufacturing company in the US. It's not a loss of skill, it's the economies of scale that comes with prefab. It's not only faster to build with, it's cheaper to the builder, and it's a higher margin product to sell. It's the right choice for a majority of homes, and a majority is what you see.

It's at the point now where you can build your house out of a catalog then do VR walkthroughs. That's a great sell to the customer and something you can't do the old way.
the law doesn't make room for proration.

There is prob some room for a judge to side with students after protacted litigation, but the university is banking on them leaving and not earning the fringe benefit, (and therefore, willingly foregoing the fringe benefit making the university not liable) so it probably matters little.

Really great article to illustrate how cognitive bias can lead an author to really extreme positions that are pretty much the opposite of their professed politics.

If the author were able to step back and drop the “everything the rich tech bros do is satanic” framing, he might see:

* ChatGPT only threatens white collar workers.

* Labor, retail, and other very hard working people who have been left behind by tech will soon have access to tools that are comparable or better than their management

* ChatGPT isn’t waging anything, nor is it racist/etc. It has some awful training data and huge investment is going into mitigating that. How is this not exactly what many of us want to see for society in general (we’ve heard terrible things, we don’t repeat them)?

* Within a couple of years, a resume, cover letter, future work product from marginalized and discriminated-against populations will be indistinguishable from those produced by historically privileged populations.

The author is so determined to hate chatgpt that he misses the fact that it is democratizing not just knowledge but presentation.
but... if you use unprivileged user namespaces, tmux isn't a very good use, because then you can't use any suid programs like su, sudo, doas, pkexec, fusermount, mount (user), etc.
> This is really the result of the massive skills loss in the construction industry

The skills weren't lost, just no one wants to pay for them. If ten people can build ten houses in a year, but to do decorative houses they can only do five, hey suddenly the masonry costs on your house have doubled.

> You basically can't get brick work of a quality comparable to what was done 100 years ago any more.

Bricks were mostly used structurally a century ago. In about the late 1930s, most brickwork started being veneer (non-structural). Combined with dramatically increase labour costs as a proportion of overall building cost, it's pretty clear why.

If you want some decorative brickwork done, order a pallet of brick and some bags of mortar and learn how to do it yourself. Anything else is reserved for those with money to burn.
> The idea that because there are other issues with hiring in Academia that these "Faith Statements" don't matter rings pretty hollow imo.

You may have missed it, but by "Faith Statements" I literally meant "Faith Statements". As in religious institutions requiring you to write about your religious beliefs.

> Not sure how you can say this with such assurance, given we can see countless examples of DEI gone wild at the Ivies or Stanford or Wellesley, etc. You did your undergrad/phd at multiple Ivies and have worked at a dozen of those corn row schools and know what's happening there?

I have a lot of experience in both of those worlds, yes.
> It also didn't end up being very useful

Because SPA (Angular/React/Vue) happened. Webpages are going from handcrafted "semantic" ones to nested pile of DIVs.
There is a very literal sense in which working at a early startup is less productive: you're trading current productive capacity for potential future productive capacity. The economics bear this out: early startups pay less, and offer equity to compensate.

That's a long way of saying that we shouldn't confuse economic productivity with effort.

They actually did studies and predictions. It is not pretty. The story is that when we were an agricultural society, huge families lived in teeny tiny houses for generations. As we become more industrialized, we first saw the nuclear family (2 parents and 2 children), then single families (1 parent and 2 children and the dad living by himself, and then finally digital nomads (1 dude living by himself or shacking up with 3 other dudes). We may need the same number of housing units as families split up and everyone becomes a digital nomad. The long term strategy is that everyone lives in an RV and we just move city to city and live in an RV park. When I was growing up, we called people who lived in RV parks "trash". I guess we will become trash.
This would be better to discuss when there's something people can try, rather than just a waitlist.

Point A: Biggest wake up call for me going from a startup to big tech.

Point B: A year into a company, I'd be exaggerating if I said I knew more than 1% of the codebase. So many things the product needs to operate that users don't know exist since no one cares about what's under the hood.

Point C: Yep, imagine having users all around the world who enter and send personal data, and who might use assistive technology. At a startup, it was pretty normal to get the minimal amount done to address some of the needs (if at all) whereas at a bigger company there's way more effort to make sure it's done properly.

Also some of the dishes are factually incorrect (Number 40 is factually incorrect). This almost seems like something a bot put together.

Actually looking at it now, does this website just have articles about dishes, and these are the entries that are lowest rated? Maybe people are just trolling the website or disagreeing with something about the description?

Ask HN: GPT for classical CNF-SAT problem
I am wondering if anyone is working on building a large Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model trained on Boolean CNF Formula equivalences (for example: reduction to unit clauses, tautologies, fallacies etc.,) that may be used to simplify a Boolean CNF Formula and maybe improve SAT solvers.
Hardly the engineers of Google’s ad empire.
The numbers suggest this is false, for the US at least. The oft-repeated study comes into mind that 47% of Americans can't cover a surprise 500 dollar expense without it being a major worry. See also the fact that the average new car purchased in the US today is 50 grand. I know I'm comparing apples and oranges here but if both those stats are true then it's clear there's likely a large overlap between people who are broke and people who are driving expensive cars.

Aside from that, there's the fact that if you can actually afford it, then it's likely better to finance than to pay cash because you can invest the full purchase price of the car for a higher return than the interest you would pay.
To stretch the thumbnail analogy from other threads, that feels like the “thumbnail” returned was a horse when you asked it to snapshot a car. Got the “mode of transport” intention correctly but gave you super inaccurate details..

> Look at ~/.wine for example... config files, whole C drive, everything in one simple folder

Except it isn't really. Just a few days ago I tried to purge Wine from my system. Uninstalled through pacman, cleaned up orphaned dependencies. Killed the ./wine folder and various other leftovers too, because depite your claim, there they were, though I didn't commit to memory exactly where and what. Removed some autostart shortcuts, cleared a few icons from desktop, and manually edited the Plasma menu to remove some stubborn links.

And yet ... I still get suggestions to open my jpg's and png's with something called Wine Internet Explorer. Which i don't really believe is distro specific, since I've seen the same thing happen in both Debian and RedHat derivatives.

If this income is not in your W2, then this is very-murky-grey-area-danger-zone stuff.

Students and Universities both could be accused of underreporting income or tax witholdings.

I suspect there are armies of education lawyers that vetted this, but in any other industry, this is simply a no-go zone. You report what you get and what you pay as comp, cash and noncash.
Socrates argued that we are born knowing everything, but we forgot most if it. Learning is simply the act of recalling what you once knew.

The point, for this thread, is not whether or not Socrates was correct.

Rather, it’s a warning that we must not confidently assume we are anything like a machine.

We may have souls, we may be eternal, there may be something utterly immaterial at the heart of us.

As we strive to understand the inner-workings of machines that appear, at times, to be human-like, we ought not succumb to the temptation to think of ourselves as machine-like merely in order to convince ourselves (incorrectly) that we understand what’s going on.

Regex is not only powerful, it's also expensive.
If you can solve a problem without regex, it's usually the better way to do it.
After buying it and using it for a few hours on Windows:
Things I don't like - As you might expect for a version 0.5, there are pretty frequent crashes, which appear to happen mostly when expanding/contracting or hiding/unhiding a root node. Save often.

Things I do like - No installation required. No subscription. It's a bit like Workflowy and a bit like Treesheets (as mentioned previously), but I find it easier to read than either. It's fast.

As someone who suspects that they might have partial ADHD, I love that there are several ways you can put a "spotlight" on what you are working on (depending on the theme) - 1) Selecting more than one line causes other lines to be greyed out; 2) "Highlight" changes the background colour of the current line; and 3) "Focus" causes everything except the immediate branch to be hidden! So good!

Looking forward to the future and more stability. :-)
Those seems like it should be an easy problem to solve, creating a login system isn't exactly rocket science.
I agree.

You forgot to mention cleanliness, comfort, and safety, where it also is just atrocious compared to other metro systems outside US.

Praising NYC subway for being really big sounds to me similar to Soviet Union boasting how many tons of steel it produced. It sure did, but its citizens would have preferred instead to get something other than 1000 additional tanks.

Sorry to say when I watched this the first time I didn't see those "pictures" either. I thought it was my browser but restarting and playing on another device confirmed there were no images. Thought I must have missed something.
I think there's one thing that needs to happen. NYC and all cities need to pass a law where a vehicle wider than X cannot park on the street, unless they are a business vehicle at which point they are allowed under commercial parking laws.

And tow them.

It will drive demand down.

Is matching prompts to agents a popular research problem? Does anyone know of some related work?
OK, but by whom and why?

This is important, because if it depended on administrators deciding to love their grad students again (vs mandated by judge, vs required by law), that cannot be the basis for certainty into the future.
Current context lengths are usually more than adequate for these interactions; the details of each individual step within an execution only need to be retained until the final response is emitted.
I think that response is a hard coded filter and not a self generated assertion. I imagine it's a stop to make sure people don't project emotions or become attached to it. It responds similarly if you ask it questions regarding the tone/sentiment of the generated text. It responded similarly when I tried forcing it to classify its own personality, however when I asked questions about other fictional AI like Glados from portal, it had no problem answering. This disagreement only indicates that OpenAI spent a considerable amount of energy with adversarial prompts.
First and foremost, that I don't get to decide where things go on my own machine, and that if I do regardless, because developers didn't follow a simple standard and instead decided to hardcode things that shouldn't be hardcoded - which is just about the first thing every dev is taught not to do - things will break.

You may not find it important but is it an issue or not?

how about everyone gets a pgp key to establish a long term online identity... kinda like keybase sought to do.

Not so great for sending secret messages, but really great for an identity toehold.
On multiple areas, AT&T (I believe) successfully petitioned the FCC to not count a bunch of low end DSL and similar services, on the basis that they were "obsolete" and lowering averages.

To be clear, they were still actively selling those services, and in some cases, it was the only option, but they just didn't want them to count.
Strada is an unreleased part of Hotwire that's been delayed a few times. But you can still build great hybrid apps without it. The library really only cleans up some code and removes boilerplate around the integration.
I have noticed the same. I too have a sedan and usually cannot find a space which is not at risk of having the doors bashed in by some careless prat parked next to me.

I started looking since our annual bonus was canceled a few days before we were to get it and company leadership is acting gloomy. I’ve heard back from 1/4 messages, having a screen Monday. Seems like some positions are so swamped with applications that they won’t ever get to yours.
Try moving all of those directories and files somewhere else that you would prefer and then see which programs break, which apps and libraries won't install, and then wonder why hardcoding is something the devs for these projects cling to.
I like it, spent some time poking LiftBridge, but have never had a chance to use either in anger.
Agreed. Compensation should depend on bargaining power. The problem and challenge is when striking workers actually dont have it.

What if Temple is 100% OK with irreconcilable differences with the striking workers.
>thinking we are not in a recession

Nowhere was that stated. Hopefully you understand that both we are in a recession, and you are being misled as to why these layoffs are happening are both true. As stated, if it was purely because of the recession, the likes of Blackrock would also be hitting 5%+ layoff numbers.
For any company it makes sense to hire someone as long as they bring more revenue than cost. FAANG have millions of things they could improve to drive more customers.
I'd love to see what IRS determination led to that conclusion.

Well, naturally, if that’s the all-else-equal trade that’s on offer, they’d be foolish to not take it.
I subscribe to the paid service and use it from time to time. I think it's quite good at what it is supposed to do: convert a "plain" screenshot into a particular type of presentation-ready image.

Like many utilities, there are countless other ways to get to a similar result, but I personally don't want to think through exactly what tools and adjustments would be needed. So, for me, $5/month is a good value to get a task off my plate every once in a while. Thanks for making it!

Down there with fried spider should be something this doesn’t go into at all: the large amount of utterly vile ultra processed “food” available at American supermarkets and fast food restaurants.

Anything that lists nonspecific “meat” as an ingredient sounds at least as horrifying as brains and eyeballs and could in fact be brains and eyeballs. Does “meat” imply mammal or will anything that is motile and that aerobically respirates qualify?

The things they attempt to call “cheese…” The fraction of petroleum called “American cheese” is bad enough but then there are things that come in a tube or a spray can.

Then there’s McDonalds. What do they put in their burgers? Feel sick every time I’ve eaten it. I’ll take the spider legs. At least I know what it is.
Parking spots in cities have also been getting smaller. No, you can't park your huge SUV in a compact parking space :p. My parking spot in my house is restricted to a compact size car (or I guess small SUV).

I don't remember things being so tight when I was growing up in the suburbs.
I don't know about unintended but why is "inappropriate" a problem? It is user input. You went out of your way to trick it and got what you asked for - how is it different from say user submitted content on regular websites?

I'll never understand this cultural phenomenon. Anybody can open the browser inspector on a random social site and tweak the page to say whatever they want and send screenshots around "implicating" the poor bastards - but none-hypothetically who actually cares?

Sort of akin to running a pub and having a drunk run his mouth. That's not on the establishment that is on the individual.
