how many times in the last two years has an "anti-woke" activist done a mass car killing targeting a specific group, and rioted in cities causing billions in damage?

Like there is simply no excuse for what you are endorsing here. You can blame le nazism all you want but people are literally being killed over this culture war bullshit you're pushing and you know that by now.
> remove parking minimums city-wide

We just did that here in Bend, Oregon as part of a statewide push to have more climate friendly cities. It's a great, easy, very incrementalist and market-based reform that everyone should do.
I spent a solid hour with chat GPT writing a story about a guy who meets a talking cat that leads him to a magical word within our world (sort of like the wizarding world being hidden in plain sight in Harry Potter) and it was tons of fun.

It felt like the best "story where you are the hero" ever.
But that pattern wouldn't be allowed on a stop sign, it would have to almost entirely obstruct it to work since we're so used to looking for the shape and even a hint of red, all it took to confuse the AI was a word above and below that covers a very small percent of the area. Stickers on stop signs are ubiquitous in a lot of places, so this is a fairly probable situation, whereas I've never in my life seen a stop sign that was so obstructed that I wouldn't recognize it. I'm sure someone could design a stop sign the machine could recognize and we couldn't but that's not what's on the roads and arguing about that is pointless because the amount of infrastructure you'd have to replace to get there is so massive that it's not relevant.
Right on, brother. My friend from from Bhutan wants to get into Christianity by reading the Bible like a nerd. I keep reminding her that most Christians where I come from (the Old World, so authentic) mostly only go to church on Sundays and only follow the Ten Commandments to the degree that they don’t kill people.
If you (royal you) want to pass off AI prompting as equal to real human expressions of pain, love, anger, et al. you are free to do so. Nobody is stopping you!

Edit: Actually, I would even go so far as to say that the prompt itself, that you a person wrote, to generate whatever, is the real artistic expression. Don't even AI require output!
It bleeds into absolutely everything. You pay a huge amount to a hospital, requiring rent, paying doctors requiring rent and a huge education cost, which is inflated because of paying employees' rent and inflated healthcare costs because of...

The land speculation, education, healthcare trifecta cost spiral in the US has to be like half of peoples' wages.
> Psychedelics are a tool

I don't think most users of psychedelics view them as a "tool" for serious spiritual practice. They just think tripping is a lot of fun.
Carlo Rovelli’s books are absolutely fantastic - he’s deeply passionate and writes with an artistry that very few other science writers do. “The Order of Time” is my favorite, but I’ve not been disappointed by anything of his I’ve read.
C’mon be real. Warzone Battle Royale might not be your preference but it’s silly to pretend that no-one likes it. It’s been hugely popular.
Pretty good point you address here. I've been working on passkeys for a while and from our experience most users find it pretty useful, as long as it's not named passkey. Most of them just think they've used Face ID to login to a website - but yes overall adoption will be interesting to see.
I have a feeling some devs are more loyal to the brand than the owners, and this is an appeal to the fans
The problem is not one of qualifications, but of motivation and trust. Even if you genuinely believe the organization before you is filled with nothing but the brightest individuals in the world, leagues beyond your understanding in their field, it means absolutely nothing if you don't trust them. In fact it would mean less than nothing, as there's nothing scarier than a clever individual with "impaired" ethical values.

Trust is difficult to earn, and easily lost. And we live in a society where, for most, trust is gone. The way to get it back is through extreme transparency and coming from a point of view of understanding this distrust.
Zoning has a lot of "good ideas" if you will, but arbitrarily implemented by limiting the types of building.

So instead of specifically limiting heavy truck access on a given street, it tries to limit the type of buildings.

Much of zoning could be fixed by directly aiming at the problems instead of just saying "only single family homes are permitted here".
Unless I miss something, "np-complete" is used correctly, and "hard" is only used incorrectly if you interpret it as "np-hard".

That said, the answer is probably "yes, partially", although YMMV as to whether that's misleading or humorous.
The article says there are five main castes with thousands of sub-castes. To be precise the Dalits are not considered a caste. They are outside of the Caste system and lower than the lowest of the low, the Sudras. In practice however today's Indian has seven Caste, at least normalized in Western countries such as Europe and the US. In this revised Caste system, the Whites are at the top, higher than the Brahmins and Blacks are at the bottom, lower than the Dalits. I have witnessed firsthand how a Black colleague of mine was treated by his Indian counterparts in the IT industry. It is pretty disgusting to say the least.
> but unfortunately many newer, denser, cities can't be easily rezoned/rebuilt into residential/mixed use because the city infrastructure (usually plumbing) can't handle it.

It could still house some residential use, albeit very few large units. Wouldn't probably be profitable.

What's the alternative? Teardown and rebuild?
I've heard that if you look at _successful_ startups, not necessarily unicorns but ones that grow into solid companies on a firm financial footing, the average age of the founders was in the middle 40s.
I had saw someone mutate the code randomly until it works. There are both a boolean flag and an if statement went wrong, and result in correct result by luck. I almost wondering if it is AI or something trying to fix the code.

If AI don't care about the process and only care about results. These types of thing is going to happen everywhere. And from this moment, no code is understandable to human.
Experiencing psychotic breaks in your childhood distinguishes you from other people though. It is not a common experience.

Does anybody else have the following issue? I've worked on many personal game projects and the beginning is always very fun. But as the complexity scales and my ambitions grow, I end up so deep in the weeds that it renders me incapable of objectively judging my game. I can't tell whether it looks good, whether it's fun, etc.
Oh I wish I had the confidence to say something like that!
Literally, if you drop out you are no longer eligible to register for any classes. That has no application to determining that low performers are forced into earlier classes.

The other part where high performers are given preference could be.
> There is a lot more on the role of gods and magic in [this book] ... One theory is that divination functioned as a kind of RNG for those cases when picking something at random was better than relying on your own bias, such as when and on which flank to attack an opposing army - where being unpredictable is a feature.

Or, you could have discovered that stated about one scroll down from top of the article:

"And sometimes it is better to have a truly random decision than to continue to follow the predictable inclinations of one’s established prejudices. Surely, the enemy will not be able to predict a shaman’s completely random decision."
You're making a number of assumptions for what's required in this process beyond "shake down any tourists you like and give us a cut when you do (or we'll kill you)".

>That and the cartel can just straight up roll up with guns and take all your shit, why wouldn't they just do that if they wanted your money?

Being robbed by the government is more palatable to tourists. Would you travel to a place where ununiformed criminals shook you down for $100 a day?
The cashback money is funded in two ways:

1. Increased fees that the banks and networks charge merchants. This increases prices for goods and services for everyone, regardless of how each individual customer pays.

2. Interest payments and fees paid by people who don't pay off their cards every month. This includes a whole range of people, but is often those who can least afford it.

The whole system is unsustainable, and I don't use cashback cards.
> linear programming are problems that are worst-case NP-hard

Linear Programming (with rational coefficients; to avoid sophism) can be solved in polynomial time.
I wonder what about generative content. If a bot tells you to do XYZ and you do it is there liability for the bot creator?
In optimization terms, this is the "optimality gap." And, often you can set bounds on that, as well. :D
How close are we to exhausting available training data?
AI is not just going to impact current jobs, money, relationships, food but also the philosophical aspects of job, salary, food and money. All the creators are going to get exponential supply of expert, trustable "resources" to work with. My mind will blow away sometimes when I contemplate on AI and I just think, let's wait :)
Closer to family and a school if they need one for kids. No kids and no need to be near family? Closer to whatever makes your quality of life better in some way.
Thanks for sharing. Your article feels a lot more intimate (less analytical) than the OP's. In particular, I was delighted to read the "Harm: loss of 3D vision" section because I now realize that my experience of rarely perceiving 3D isn't just me making things up. In particular:

> I can pop in and out of 2D and 3D vision at will, it’s just that 2D is the default, and 3D always feels more real.

I _wish_ I could do this at will. Probably once a month or so I notice that I have 3D vision and become entranced with just looking at things around me. Usually the feeling subsides within an hour, but it's rarely a "pop out" and more a gradual decline in how 3D things are.

And now I'm off to the wikipedia rabbit hole to learn more about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereopsis_recovery

All wrong. Hot air is lighter than normal (make a google search). What weight of the baloon with 1kg hot and 1kg liquid air you will measure on Earth ? Does one fly or not ? What could you lift: 1 ton of air or 1 ton of iron ?

What are you trying to do - to brainwash your own, poor language model ?
If you need to settle for technical correctness that's fine.

Fortunately we have the resources to hire for technical correctness and a bit more than the minimum when it comes to being well rounded with your ability to understand problems, communicate, etc.

We don't want people who jump to conclusions like "the interviewer is asking me to recall things I don't remember" under the guise of "precision" instead of just asking

It takes commensurate pay/interesting work/an attractive workplace/etc. which are out of a single interviewer's control, so I never hold it against those who don't filter to any of that.

Feast or famine, as they say. Whole new meaning to the phrase "shit hole."
I am an investor via CrowdStreet in one of the office buildings in south-ish area (Campbell) of silicon valley. Here is a market update I got today-

Silicon Valley’s office vacancy rate increased again in Q4 2022 to 19.0%, up from 18.6% in Q3. The end of 2022 marks the 12th consecutive
quarter where the overall vacancy rate has risen. Campbell’s vacancy rate for in Q4 was 30.0% with negative 278,167 of overall absorption.
Silicon Valley’s average asking rent increased slightly in Q4 2022, rising to $5.36 psf on a monthly full-service basis, a $0.02 increase
from the previous quarter and a $0.04 increase year-over-year. Campbell’s average asking rent was $4.18. Given the current lack of demand
for office space as well as upcoming economic uncertainty, there is little expectation that significant rent increases would occur in the
near term. Transaction volume fell sharply in Q4 2022, posting just 778,712 sf of gross absorption, a 76% decrease compared to the previous
quarter. Demand for new office space fell on the news of large-scale tech-sector layoffs this quarter that will likely persist through 2023.
The Valley measured 2.6 msf of net occupancy losses in 2022, the largest amount since 2001 and marks the third year of negative net
absorption
The Activision data breach has reportedly leaked the roadmaps for Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2.
So in other words, just like most "switched from X to Y" stories: it depends on a lot of factors and there is no one-size-fits-all.

In this specific case however, the issue is much easier: author wanted a collection of components, not a packaged experience. So in other words: if the device is the goal (or having a collection of components), you might not enjoy an Apple product. If you want a specific experience, then a product that is just a collection of components (and experienced as such), then you might enjoy an Apple product.

Semantics would suggest that 'anything is a collection of components', but that is not the point, the point is how the experience is different. Some components are experienced as a group/list/collection while others are experienced as a product. Which one fits you best varies from person to person and job to job.
This sounds like a time management issue. Moving class start times back would not decrease the workload, nor provide extra sleep under the scenario you describe.

Hopefully no professional ever thought depression was caused by "chemical imbalances". That's a pop science myth, although one people strongly believe for some reason.

The correct answer is we don't know why SSRIs work, which isn't unusual for medicine.
I went through a similar evolution. Now, I don't judge the code I read. If I can understand it and it works correctly, it's fine.

I think it's a good thing. Much of what used to get me irritated (and, from my observations, what gets other irritated) are just matters of style, and what style is being used isn't really important.
The higher level the labeled examples become, the more effort is needed to make them in the first place.

For example take a website. How are we going to provide enough examples of websites to make the code generated fit what we need and not have annoying properties we want to void? Lets say we have a website and we tell the code generator of choice, that we want that website to be accessible for blind people. How do we create the amount of labeled examples, that make the code generator understand what to create? Maybe that very creation of labeled examples will be a software developer's future work activity.

This is a great article, it made me really think about my own propensity to connect the dots. And, without considering my biases and limited knowledge, so that those dots are driven into connections in the only way they could, and often not to the truth.

Then, I thought: thank god we have now have search engines with AI, AI that can summarize and connect the dots for us!

Oh, wait...

Myths About Your First Software Engineering Interview
Neat! I particularly like how you walk us along with your investigation; I didn't know about `memsize_of`.

Reminds of an "issue" I ran into a while, where Timecop doesn't affect file timestamps, because those are pulled from the OS rather than Ruby.
>What did he fail at specifically?

At running the god damn company. Honestly, are we going insane here? He took tens of billions of dollars and created a company that was worth maybe $5Bn. Yes! It grew incredibly quickly, it's amazing how many customers you can acquire and deals you can sign when you're overpaying for leases and renting out space at a loss. He created a terrible business that was burning through cash, desperately hoped he could dump it on unsuspecting pension funds and when he couldn't the whole thing blew up in his face. But not before lining his own pockets every step of the way. Even, once the company was going bankrupt, he insisted on a generous payout to walk away from the company he mismanaged into failure. He wasn't rewarded for success, he was paid out because he had controlling shares, and once again, he had those shares because he was running the business more as a scam than an ongoing concern.
I think this author's perspective and story are really important. It's pretty clear that he overdid it and that there is an issue in some (possibly most) of the western Buddhist groups in marketing mindfulness as a cure all panacea. Everything has a concave dose-response curve, even water and radiation.

Why be angry about rich people giving money to each other? You aren't involved in the equation at all. It has nothing to do with you.
Hmm, the above poster probably meant "linear programming with integers" being NP-hard (because it is).

When its "smooth", its actually solvable in polynomial time.
I interpreted the phrase as high demand with low supply. Such conditions can exist, but not indefinitely.
You speak really confidently on this topic, can you share your background with regards to immunology/bioscience?
> get the asking rents down

I know it eventually happens, but it seems like a lot of commercial landlords would rather have excessive vacancies than lower the rent to attract new tenants or keep existing tenants. Is there some kind of tax reason for it?
They're so light that their terminal velocity is very low, so when "shooting" them you'd have to be very close to the ground otherwise they'll decelerate almost immediately, long before they reach it.

Anecdotally, even from right next to the ground I don't think seeds have enough mass to have the kinetic energy at any realistic speed to embed into the soil.
I'm trying to look at it as a powerful new tool like modern IDEs that can make a lot of people's workflow more efficient. If the question comes up in an interview, they're just asking if you have experience with this new tool their team uses, and comparing how you use it to their process. Similarly not having experience with an IDE like Visual Studio might not be a dealbreaker, but if there's another candidate with a ton of experience then it could tip the scales in their favor. Long way of saying, I would try to stay optimistic and just play around with it enough so you can at least bullshit about it if you still don't want to use it.
Do Large Language Models (LLMs) Reason?
I would be interested in someone doing the research, it would be nice to know the companies/etc that "own their own land" instead of paying landlords.

There's a reason it's called "rent seeking".
Also because of massive student-debt loads - the average GP came out with like $250k even a few years ago. Someone's gotta pay that, and ultimately it's the patients.

The US medical system is so fucked it's almost hard to narrow it down to specific reasons: essentially it's at the nexus of the symptoms of virtually every crisis-of-capitalism that the US has allowed to fester over the last 70 years. Patents, education, insurance/financialization, employer-labor relations, federalism-induced complexity from state-level rulemaking (and racing to the bottom when that doesn't happen), racial bias to outcomes... I'm sure there's tons that I'm forgetting offhand.

Basically name a high-level problem/trend in american society and you can almost 100% certainly come up with a reasonable thesis for how that problem is making the american medical system worse.

similarly, name a group of powerful stakeholders and you can be sure that reform of the system will probably impact them negatively on a personal/financial level. Seniors? Investors? Doctors? Universities? etc etc.

to me it is without a doubt the single most politically-complex and personally-charged issue in the entire US system and that's really saying something.
I'm curious, what is it about Albanian society that has created such notorious criminal enterprised, compared to, say, neighboring countries, like Greece, former Yugoslavian states, Bulgaria, etc.?

Most movies will have a hashtag (or more than one), which you can use to search. Full-text search isn't available without opt-in, because that's not a feature the majority of historical mastodon users have wanted, nor a feature the seeming majority of current mastodon users want. Me, I've opted in at some POC sites, but mostly you'll want to user hashtags for search. So #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania instead of "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania"

"type":"string",

Not buying it. I'll take the extra free time, thank you very much. You know, actually... I'd probably use it for some form of "self-directed" employment anyway.

But I'd still take 6 hours working for the man and 4 working for myself, rather than 40 hrs+ a week for somebody else.
I think passkeys adoption will accelerate once bigger consumer-oriented players (e.g. AirBnb) introduce them to a wider audience. PayPal, eBay and Kayak made the right, slow steps, but once more of these larger players offer passkeys as login, we'll probably see them a lot more around smaller companies, too.
nitpick, I wouldn't place JSON in the middle (the lack of proper integers and precision problems is one of the issues). but other than that, spot on.
