Hey, when I go the career page, there is a cycle spinning without any button/mail for applying. Am I doing something wrong?
I stopped reading the article the second i read: "That serves as the source of financing for banks" which is two paragraphs in.
Your comments are spot on. What I don't understand is how its possible for people to still get these things wrong.
Having a stable, safe place to live is a crucial and necessary step (among many other basic steps) to being in a place to be able to tackle more complex life problems, such as solving a chronic drug use problem.

It's not terribly likely at all that anyone will ever get any traction on solving a chemical addition problem when they have dramatically more important and basic near term problems such as finding food and shelter.
I have a ton of books I might want to refer to though and there are things I do want to re-read now and then. (And a lot of new stuff is digital.)

I've pretty much hit steady state though. No more bookcases/piles of books. I don't have a lot of incentive to go beyond that for now, though I'll probably donate at least a few more bags to my library's book sale at some point over the coming months.
>I think if they fixed the homeless problem

I think we will have AGI before America fixes the homelessness problem.
Can you elaborate on how this is "nonsense"?
"Fixing the homeless problem" and "becoming the AI capital of the world" seem like they are unfortunately unrelated.

Homelessness didn't stop tech companies having SF offices previously, why would it stop them now?
Colorblindness Support in a Theme – Nightfox
I think colorblindness is often overlooked by theme authors, etc.

The ability to adjust a theme to suit my needs as a colorblind user, is something I found pretty cool, and something I hope becomes more common.
I think this is the main thing that sticks out to me. I think Hillel Wayne is right to point out that it moves the main task of a developer from writing code to proofreading it (to a small degree now, perhaps to a larger degree in the future). Most programmers prefer to write their new code than to read someone else's. So if we are delegating our favourite parts to AI, how long before we ask it to write the unit tests as well? Who's going to validate that the unit tests it writes are correct? I forsee a bunch of frustrated QA teams at least in the (near) future being asked to test sloppy code which has passed a bunch of sloppy unit tests, but has had only minimal review from the developer(s) responsible for it. Perhaps I'm overthinking it.
Whether or not developers take advantage will still depend on market conditions and the costs to develop housing. For example, recently in LA county voters passed a transfer tax that is espected to quiet development somewhat:
https://www.planetizen.com/news/2022/12/120395-critics-expec...

Plenty of other things beyond taxes add to costs as well. Onerous environmental review, having to add amenities like open courtyard space or balconies, how many elevators might be required, parking requirements, all adds to the cost per unit which leads to fewer units built per loan and the need for higher rents to make those costs pencil out. Even the amount of time things sit in review at city hall has costs. You could very well hit a situation where due to these constraints, not nearly as many builders take advantage of builders remedy as one might expect. This is part of the issue with allowing the onus of adding housing supply in our cities fall on an overregulated industry that depends on achieving a certain profit margin to function.
Holy shit this looks AMAZING. Rule out domains from searches entirely? Sold!
I think UEFI actually helps; I do not miss having to manually overwrite the first sector of my hard drive in order to make the bootloader work.

The same "Builder's Remedy" kicked in last year in many Southern California cities when they missed similar deadlines, and as far as I know it has led to approximately (if not exactly) zero new construction.
Individual actions like these feel good for people, but don't really make much headway on the broader problems. For example if you are vegan, you are not directly supporting the factory farming of animal products, but meanwhile people will continue buying those products. I would venture to guess that inconvenient legislations like plastic straw or plastic bag bans have far more powerful outcomes than these sort of individual lifestyle efforts.
I'll build one sidewinder for 20 gs right now.

Next time you want to shoot down a mylar balloon with one, don't.

Follow my advice and have 1 more sidewinder than in the counterfactual. How can I expect to receive the 20k?
How often do you actually reboot your machine? My office compile box is showing 17 days uptime, and that's quite low (I think I did an update).

Optimizing a few seconds off of something you seldom do isn't that useful. (Not that I haven't been guilty of that, again and again and again and...)
The Chimney Stack Effect
Your comment reinforces what I was already going to say — correlation != causation, and in fact, I think in this case they have it backwards.

You suggest that you are happier because you have cut down on your exposure to advertising and “inadequacy content”, and this has resulted in a drop in expenditures, rather than frugality directly being the thing that resulted in happiness.

It’s the same in my case - I decided, quite a few years ago, that chasing status was a sucker’s game, and stopped buying crap that signalled status. I drive a truck that’s older than me, live in a 45m2 log cabin I built myself, wear clothes that were barely fashionable 20 years ago, if I’m even bothering with clothes, and spend my days doing whatever the hell I choose, because it turns out that by not engaging in the consumer mill you suddenly have all this cash sitting around and not much to do with it, so you invest it, and suddenly spending your life working and chasing status in some career or another also seems a lot less appealing.

I’ve never been terribly happy with myself, which is just a de facto part of my nature — but I’m certainly content with my existence, and knowing that I’ve got a war chest tucked away that would make Croesus blush amply fulfils any status desires, as if I chose to, I could buy a few thousand teslas and drive them into the sea, and just carry on as I am. I believe the term is “fuck you money”, and it beats the crap out of having some shiny bauble on hire-purchase. I don’t even think about it until I find myself on the receiving end of “oh, you must be so poor to live this way, why don’t you work harder or get a new car”, and I just smile and remind myself that I could probably buy their mortal soul.

It’s also eminently achievable for anyone on a halfway decent income, if they stop frittering it away on crap.

The only thing that I do from time to time spend cash on is the occasional adventure. People tell me I should do a YouTube channel, or an instagram, and I tell them that I’m not doing this for anyone but me and those I take along with me. I don’t give a tiny flying rat’s ass about “personal brand”.

Stuff doesn’t bring joy. Status, as it’s sold via the drip drip drip of planned obsolescence doesn’t either. Security and freedom and time, do.
It's hard to disentangle cause and effect. It's true that many homeless people are addicts. Some lost their housing because their addiction caused them to get fired from their job or alienate their family. Others became homeless first and turned to drugs later as a way to temporarily escape a bleak reality. Many homeless people use illegal drugs as a way of self medicating psychiatric disorders because they lack access to mental health care. Giving them stable housing first is often an effective initial step in treating their addiction (and other medical conditions).

In any case, the War on (Some) Drugs has clearly been lost and the drugs aren't going away. What is your solution?
> Don't they need to continuously re-train these models as new information comes in? For example, how does Bing bot get new information? It seems like they would need to routinely keep it up-to-date with its own index.

Sure, and thanks! Some keywords to look up are transfer learning, zero-shot learning, and fine tuning. These approaches focus on exactly this problem: not having to retrain the entire model from scratch to add new information. GPT-3's training data is 100 billion tokens of text, but to extend it by another 1 billion tokens of text is far closer to 1/100 the original cost.

It actually wasn't the energy/carbon cost that motivated early work in this, it was more about adapting to new domains and letting people customize models for specific purposes. Image processing really adopted it first to great success. Orgs with resources trained really big models on all of ImageNet that needed server farms of GPUs, but they released it so that other people can use a single commodity GPU to fine-tune it for whatever their specific image processing task.

Edit: now you can pay "Open"AI to fine tune their models for you, but only Microsoft has access to the raw model itself

ChatGPT does a much better job. Not perfect, but at least identifies overcharging the capacitor as a danger (though not fireworks) and provides some possible mitigations to look into (NOT take at face value as definitely correct though, to be sure)

---------------------

I'm designing a transformerless LED bulb and I was wondering about the filter capacitor. What happens when the load (one of the LEDs) fail?

---------------------

When a load (such as one of the LEDs in your transformerless LED bulb) fails or becomes open-circuited, the current through the filter capacitor will drop to zero, and the capacitor will start to charge up to the peak value of the AC voltage from the mains supply.

This can be dangerous because the voltage across the capacitor can quickly rise to a high level, depending on the capacitance value and the AC voltage level. If a person were to touch the exposed conductors of the failed LED bulb, they could receive a potentially lethal electric shock from the charged capacitor.

To mitigate this risk, it's important to include some form of overvoltage protection in your design, such as a discharge resistor or a metal oxide varistor (MOV). The discharge resistor will discharge the capacitor when the load is disconnected, while the MOV will clamp the voltage across the capacitor to a safe level by diverting the excess energy to ground.

It's also important to provide adequate insulation between the live components and any exposed conductors or casings to prevent accidental contact with live parts. Additionally, it's recommended to follow established safety standards and guidelines when designing any electrical product to ensure its safety for users
And floating point numbers - and scientific notation - can both only express rationals. They aren’t ‘reals’.
Any one of these makes the other two impossible to fix:
- homelessness
- drugs
- mental illness

In the US, we've done a spectacular job of pricong working people out of housing, creating a ridiculously incompetent drug policy (simultaneously too lax and too punitive), and closing down all reasonable avenues to mental health care. This dates back to Reagan or before but both left and right-wing parties have considerable blame to carry. You dont have to believe that they were malicious, but the results have been disastrous.

You either fix all three coherently, or none.
> came out of nowhere constraints like the cost should be less than $150 and it should be waterproof

Oddly, that doesn't sound too far off from many procurement processes. Utterly arbitrary requirements and budgets devised by a committee who were put together to create a checklist, but would never actually use the thing they put together the requirements for.

Due to demonitization some types of videos (especially political, "current affairs", medical, anything (even comedy) using curse words, etc.) almost always get demonetized and many people have stopped such content since it's not worth it. During covid times it was so bad, that even mentioning "covid" in a video got some of them demonetized (even in non-medical context, eg. "shippments from china got delayed due to covid").
Residential-only zoning is "the bad kind of zoning". It wasn't invented to keep factories away from homes; it was /literally/ invented in Berkeley to stop Chinese immigrants from being able to afford homes by running laundry businesses out of them.

> It seems very in line with British politeness to treat certain broadcasts you receive as things that just weren't meant for you, so let's all pretend that you didn't get them.

That's basically how the actual law on this matter is worded, i.e. "don't listen, but if you did listen, don't tell anyone".

Section 48, Wireless Telegraphy Act[1], notice the clever little "or" at the end of (1)(a).

So 48(1) is telling you: "don't use it with intent"(1)(a), but if you do don't be that person who "discloses information"(1)(b).

What worries me are the low-grade programmers. By delegating their work to tools like ChatGPT (and doing so always a level or two beyond the current abilities of the tools) they will manage to take us to newer lows.
It's not perfect, but if you buy Parallels, it does have automated ARM-based setup of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kali. Which makes more sense anyway - then you are running 2 VMs on your host, instead of a VM and a VM inside a VM (because WSL2 is just a lightweight VM).
> In contrast, there is no way for a PWA (unless something has changed since I last looked, in which case PLEASE* tell me) to schedule a notification for the future without contacting a server. It's a bad direction to go for PWAs, given that the whole point is for them to be able to work offline.

Organizing on social media is probably a bad call, but many hosts have direct booking sites that they’d love to have people book through since they don’t have to pay the airbnb (or worse: VRBO) overhead.

The direct booking sites come free with most of the property management systems out there: Guesty, Hostaway, etc. so most hosts have them, they’re just not allowed to advertise it on the online travel agencies (Airbnb etc).

>What are you going to do, move to a different service?

Probably yes for a few of my clients. They're only using the email and calendars, and only via applications (Mac/iOS Mail/Calendar, Outlook, or TB). Two of them started on the free one. Primarily staying with GSuite has been a matter of inertia and ensuring delivery, all the other stuff is worthless. This will probably be motivation to make the move this time. Other companies might have kept and "basics only tier", but I just don't think Google is serious about anything but ads when it comes to money. Even their subscription stuff seems frequently poorly supported, though perhaps it's better for the biggest players.

I'm very thankful I always pushed hard against webmail, had registrar/DNS independent and so on. It's added friction in some cases but means switching is pretty transparent. Lots don't have that luxury of course, but it's been nice here.

This. We use Rider daily on our M1s.

>> I think you have it the other way around. The bias is institutionalized so deeply that the process makes it essentially impossible to get a non curated with bias point of view out of the organization.

That appears to be your opinion, likely that of many here. However thats not how it works.

I have worked in media for 20 years and have had the opportunity to see how many editors, newsrooms, and publications in general work. I have sat in editorial meetings where coverage and stories are discussed. I have been present when editors and writers go back and fourth on stories.

The problem is that for any given news org, you and most people do not know what it takes to publish a story at some of these places. Thats NOT a criticism of you - I think we'd all be better off if folks knew how it worked.

I don't have the numbers for SF specifically, but I doubt they differ that much from LA. The numbers in LA are that 27% of homeless people have a substance abuse issue and 25% have a severe mental illness[1]. Those are not mutually exclusive, so there is some overlap in those groups. It means that roughly 50% of homeless people are mentally well when they become homeless and potentially much more than 50% as these numbers don't represent any causal information. Many people might become homeless for other reasons and the difficulty of homelessness triggers a mental health crisis or pushes them towards drugs as a coping mechanism.

This idea that drugs cause most homeless is largely just confirmation bias. You likely cross paths with many homeless people that you don't realize are homeless. It is the drug addicts and the mentally ill that stand out as obviously homeless. The person who is out on the street because they couldn't make rent, probably isn't noticeably homeless if they spend their nights in a shelter or sleep in a car before showering at a local gym.
