Yawn. This has been the case forever as different construction methods and architectural styles come and go. With a small bit of architectural education you can walk around just about any city and guess the decade any building was built at a glance… or the century if we’re taking pre-industrial era.

The subhead, does it matter given the housing shortage, can be answered in a word: no.

I use ChatGPT to explain or create regexes. It’s ideal because I don’t need it to be 100% reliable as I can and should verify it. But it’s much faster than writing them tediously. And I don’t ever use them often enough to become an expert.
Hah, sorry to hear it didn't meet expectations! I love Capy too so you've still got my support :)
It does contain many, many memes, which - along with emojis - are the hieroglyphs of our time. There are certainly worse legacies I could leave.
Fair, but I'm not even sure where this value ends up yet so I don't want to parse it (vice validate it), just getting it to reject "1-2" as a double would be a start (currently accepted, note that it's not accepting expressions just values). Stage one of fixing this thing is just tackling obviously wrong code like this, their creative shared pointer implementation that's also wrong (the memory will be freed while other pointers still have access to it, and the reference counter is not in the shared pointer but the object it contains so checking the reference counter at that point will result in use-after-free errors), and their fantastic use of iterators that will crash the program if that code is ever called (they didn't understand iterator invalidation). And yesterday I found that they read a file (in its entirety!) one character at a time, tacking the results onto the end of a string. There is no parsing logic at that point, it's literally just building a giant string. And all of that is in what should be straightforward logic any trained novice can handle, the real critical code which solved a somewhat novel problem (not novel novel, but not an everyday problem) gets even more creative.
There are no restrictions on what you talk about [1] on any instance, either technically or socially. Plenty of people just join a random instance associated with some topic, and then are friends with people on other instances. They never look at the instance feed, only at their timeline.

Outside of the small hassle of adding people, there are no real downsides to joining a random instance.

It gets exhausting seeing the same NIMBY talking points trotted around every once in a while. I guess the "new developments are just luxury housing" talking points have started to smell so we're back to the good old "character of the neighborhood."

Taking a look at the "character of the neighborhood" in South Bay and I couldn't be more thrilled that developers are putting up inoffensive boxes rather than some rehash of "Spanish/Mediterranean revival" that seemed to dominate circa 2000-2015. I have a little more hope that these "bland boxes" won't look garishly outdated in a generation. And that's neglecting the irony entirely of "European" styling applied to single family sprawl.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, "For many people, 5-over-1s have come to symbolize the most painful aspects of today’s housing crisis — stand-ins for gentrification, corporate landlords and excessively high rents." Do better, NYT.

I've known people who were involved in HIV vaccine studies, both as participants and as investigators. Everybody involved understands that side of the risk assessment ("this might not work, and you might get a placebo") from the very beginning, but the threat of HIV/AIDs is grave enough that people in the at-risk populations are happy to be involved.
I think it’s “tried but it takes a while” — and I’m sure the supply mess of the last couple years broke a lot of schedules. The most recent story I’ve seen has it a year or so out, so it’ll be interesting to see if that pans out or, especially, if Qualcomm comes up with some new legal angle to prevent competition.

Can vouch for Rippling, it’s awesome.
The Toyota 2F is an out of production engine that fulfills a niche market, it costs 3x as much to rebuild one as a new Toyota engine. The parts don’t cost much more and there are fewer of them. They cost more to rebuild because that is the going rate. Should the shops doing 2F rebuilds charge less? As others have pointed out in this thread, car engines are not well suited for air use, so the market will remain small and made up of people willing and able to pay 30k.
I'm sure Temple has good lawyers, but I'm skeptical.

My employment contract as a graduate student was one page long. There was definitely an implicit consensus ad idem regarding tuition remissions for graduate students.

It was not spelled out what exactly entitled me to the remission. It DEFINITELY wasn't an explicit benefit given in consideration for my labor as an RA. In fact, that situation might even be uncredible for universities to claim given the tax structure at play here.

Temple's "and therefore you don't get benefits and therefore YOU owe US money!" reasoning might make sense to a Goldman mouth breather, but I somehow doubt that anyone else involved in this agreement going back 5+ decades has ever thought that this is how things are supposed to work. I am genuinely skeptical that the COO (or whatever)'s interpretation of the contract is spelled out in writing in the contracts, or that there was ever a meeting of the minds on this matter.

And it's pretty trivial to show damages here without a bill coming due. If I were a grad student I'd put $xxK in a money market account, document my investment plan (or three ;) ), and sue for the opportunity cost plus treble damages even if this all gets resolved.
> how do current search engines rank results?

I think there's a poor correlation between search engine rankings and website quality, so it might be better not to include this.

> what features correlate with good?

Right, that's the essential question. Google's original bit of genius was to to ignore that question entirely, and go with "popular" instead. You can measure popular, but "good" entirely depends on what it is you value. That makes it somewhat subjective.
Yes the Virgin trains that do the Manchester to London route all have buffet carriages where you can buy beers and wines, they have a few standing tables too so you can even stop and drink in the buffet carriage or return to your seat.

But obviously not in the same league as this pub carriage.
The concept of expiring currency has been experimented with even in the era of paper notes.

Alberta, for example, tried circulating banknote-analogues that required a stamp to be added every week to remain valid; the goal was to encourage people to spend them rather than having to pay for the stamp.

In the context of something like economic stimulus payments, where the goal is to force jumpstarting the economy NOW, how would prevent people who can afford it from just setting aside their payment for later use?

Thumbnails, image matching, low-bandwidth summaries... There are plenty of uses for smoothed images. Also, there are many interesting transformations you can use on computer vision and image processing that start with a blur.

If I try to map the first three into text, there are automatic TL.DR. like you said, document grouping, and search into entire document stores (as in do documents in this store deal with this idea?).

I got to see the first launch of the Falcon Heavy (the first Tesla payload, and first dual booster landings!) at Cape Canaveral, along with a commemorative glass of champagne and a fun appearance by Bill Nye.

I get the impression the Starship launch won't be so civilized! Planning on bringing our own cheese and crackers.

Does anyone who has been to Starbase have tips for the best way to catch the timing, and best location for viewing, the first Starship launch?
They should all be eligible for COBRA, but COBRA is pretty insanely expensive (which is hard to pay for if you're striking and don't have a regular income - especially if you don't have much money in general like most grads). And people weren't actually informed their healthcare would be cut so they weren't aware they'd need to apply for bridging coverage.
I have read some reports of people trying to use Quest VR headsets to watch movies on the plane. They are not the most comfortable and the tracking is affected a bit by the plane movement, but it sounds like feeling like you are sitting alone in a giant theater instead of crammed into a tiny seat is a bit priceless during a long flight. I’d love to try it out one day, maybe when these get a bit smaller and maybe get an airplane mode that stabilizes the tracking in moving vehicles.
It won't.

What you've described is a bare bones CRUD app. The little I know about things like AI/LLM is you feed it text so it can learn. If the input is not good then the output is not going to be good either, doesn't matter what it does with the input.

We (as an industry) can't get feature requirements or business logic documented to be interpreted consistently by humans, who understand those problem domains in high fidelity, let alone some computers reading that text. If the translation of requirements to code isn't great, code to LLM to produce new code isn't going to cut it either.

Our industry jokes about all we do is CRUD apps but once an app is mature and beyond simple models, has integrations from a dozen APIs, has customers integrating via APIs, does reporting, needs to guarantee-ish transactions and most importantly is using derived sets of data for billing/invoicing it is much much more than a "CRUD app".
Have you done any PSNR analysis & comparison to prevailing standards like webp (or even jpeg)? from the look of it, it seems not very efficient as the compression ratio gets pretty bad for any kind of visually comparable scenarios.

You probably feel like you’re demonstrating that you have this neat gadget on your page. I agree it’s super distracting. Let me focus on the words.
You can follow the core of trunk based and still work together with another person on a shared feature branch if that is needed.

I have found benefits though to structuring your WIP in a way that it can be merged into the trunk with minimal risk of breaking existing stuff. This is a mindset change around favoring adding new modules / components / endpoints without clobbering working code, especially for larger projects where the code is going to come in over the course of many releases.

Maintenance releases are done by going back to the tag or branch for your current prod release, making a new release branch from it, and pulling in whichever commits are needed.
Could you use this to provide better support chat bots? That is, support bots obviously need to be scoped so that they only give information the user asking has rights to, e.g. "Show me the stocks in my portfolio". Assuming the user has logged into the interface showing the chat, is there a way to pass that user's unique access token through to one of these Fixie Agents to ensure that the data being accessed is scoped by that access token?

It’s just another form factor differentiator, like the old slider phones that turned into cameras, and so forth.
I think it defies belief that the highest-paid CEOs bring so much value to their company that it covers their salaries and other compensation. They are, to me, a clear indication that compensation rates are only loosely correlated to value.

There is some correlation, don't get me wrong, but it looks like people are generally undervalued at the low end of the compensation spectrum and overvalued at the high end.
This is like the AI version of Manchurian Candidate. By silently seeding corners of the web with “wake words,” a nefarious party could trick GPT to train over them, thereby giving them a back door into the model.

It could also give a way of forcing an online entity into revealing that it’s a chat bot. Kind of gives me hope for the future…
Not saying this as a remark to you specifically, just a fun anecdote.

Someone totaled my Model 3 on my birthday a few years ago and my front door was smashed. I smelled smoke and thought I had a battery fire (turns out it was smoke from the airbags). I crawled to the back seat and tried to open my door but it wouldn't open due to power loss. I ended up breaking the window because in my state of mind, I couldn't remember that the manual door override was available. People always say there is a manual backup, but even if it works, it's really hard to remember that during a terrible accident where time is an issue. Luckily I carry a knife in my car with one of those window breaking points.

I can't imagine trying to do that drunk.
No, that's not science. That's you weaponizing science in your crusade against things you don't like. You don't like vaccines, so you make bullshit claims that are unsubstantiated but hard to disprove, and then eventually people get tired of arguing with you and you have your way.
My brother-in-law says that one may not sell hog maws in Oregon. He contrives to get some now and then from Pennsylvania, where he and my wife grew up. Even at farmers markets in central Pennsylvania, though, one must order ahead for them.
I live 10 minutes from a Whole Foods, and don’t own a trailer or a boat (which is pretty common here in exurban Maryland). I probably go off road a couple times a year. Then haul junk a several times a year. Then tow something a couple of times a year. Then buy something big and awkward a couple of times a year. And then a couple of years ago there was that snow storm and it was nice to be able to tool around past abandoned Teslas. It’d be annoying to go out and rent a pickup truck every other month to do those things. It’s not the money it’s the convenience.
Same as it ever was. Cities largely get their look from when various booms and busts occurred which links up to when specific styles were popular.

For example old NYC skyscrapers look just like other skyscrapers built at the time. The difference is few cities built significant skyscrapers during that time period, and NYC avoided losing building in WWI/WWII etc.

> I’m very pro-nuclear but [...] Nuclear requires governmental investments because building new reactors are among the most notorious of all construction projects.

I'm very pro-nuclear too. Government investments are ok, as long as the idea is to start a virtuous cycle.

Right now we are (and have been for the last 30 years) in a vicious cycle: projects are late because the expertise is lacking, and the expertise is lacking because there are not enough projects to produce a knowledgeable workforce. Basically at each nuclear reactor construction site, the majority of the people are new to the job ... and won't use the hard earned skills in the remaining of their working life. That's a tragedy. And that drives costs up.

That is not happening in the industry of naval nuclear reactors (in the US). That industry is churning about one or two reactors per year, the workforce is stable, each worker will work on dozens of reactors during their career. Costs are kept in check, projects are delivered on time, accidents (or incidents) are non-existent.

If that's possible for the Navy, then it's not magic. It can happen for the civies as well. We just need to get over the initial hump.
I was on the Northeast Regional last September and can confirm, halfway decent beer selection. They had wine as well, not sure what the selection was like, and not sure about spirits.

I've eaten many of the dishes on this list, including their #1 (hákarl), but none of the things on this list compare to the worst thing I've ever eaten: mopane worm.

https://lodges.safari.co.za/African_Travel_Articles-travel/m...

When I bit down into my first mopane worm, the flavor made me realize two things immediately: A) It tastes exactly how it looks, which is like a fried caterpillar, and B) That terrible apple I once ate as a child actually contained a caterpillar, and that is how I knew the flavor. Ugh.

But forget the taste. The real focus of your attention will be on the textures: The chitinous shell reminiscent of finger nail clippings, the spongy "meat", and the gritty intestinal tract filled with fine sand, It's a real roller coaster.

An order of mopane worms is an entire bowl. I ate three of worms before I had to give up, which honestly took everything I had. I still feel a little ill thinking of them today.

Sony's streaming service (Bravia Core) recommends >100Mbps for their highest quality streams:

https://electronics.sony.com/bravia-core

To access highest quality Pure Stream available at 80Mbps you must have a minimum internet speed of 115Mbps over Wi-Fi. Ethernet (wired LAN) connections are limited to 100 Mbps due to the TV’s product specifications. Therefore, to enjoy 80 Mbps with Pure Stream functionality, you need to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) that supports minimum IEEE 802.11 n/ac.

I'm still using Thunderbird v11.0 and I have no plans of upgrading my install or even installing anything newer for a fresh install.

It's motherfucking email, for fuck's sake. That shit hasn't changed in the past 3 decades, let alone every fucking month. What the fuck is a Thunderbird 102 anyway? I don't need nor want a client that changes under my foot every god damn month, much less multiple UI redesigns that force me to relearn everything just to fucking read and fucking write my fucking emails.

If or when Thunderbird stops running on some version of Windows in the farflung future, I will probably find some other client worth my time and migrate to that; not Thunderbird version 348719 or whatever it's up to at that point.
Well for my line of work (app dev/cloud consulting) there is lot of face time, video conferencing with clients, travel to client sites, etc.

> Imo once healthcare is touched, which I do agree is a form of violence to remove, the strikers should absolutely respond in kind, by escalating the strike to slow some other part of the operation, perhaps by disrupting deliveries, switching off power to things, whatever else.

Exactly. Punching faces is probably not stategic, and the strikers likely have other ways to respond in the course of this strike. But we should not mince words about what they're responding to, and we should bear the university's violence in mind when examining and discussing whatever the strikers decide to do next.

Highly recommend you set up CloudFront for serving S3 static resources - right now you are linking directly to S3 which is much more expensive for content distribution, especially since you're serving large audio files.
