The problem is that property is taxed as a percentage of it's value and as the value goes up the government just gets more money. Instead the government should set a goal of how much revenue it needs and as the property value goes up, the percentage rate drops.

Definitely some of the most beautiful (I blame New Zealand) movies ever made.

In general, I thought the movies were amazing in all aspects except the writing. The casting and acting were good, but the writing diminished everything else, but at least we got the "And my axe!" meme out of it.

You're right. The honest answer is that my nose has been in this for so long that I've lost track of what's interesting and what isn't. =)

A big reason to mention quantum safety is just to make it an explicit goal. If I've accidentally chosen something that even smells uncertain, it's a bug. There are plenty of ways for symmetric key cryptosystems to accidentally weaken themselves, like leveraging a 128-bit intermediate key at some stage of the process.

Now, that might not even weaken things realistically, for all sorts of reasons. But I want something that you look at and say "yeah that's obviously fine," without having to think much. No surprises.
No, Tailwind erases pretty much all browser styles automatically. I use my "reset" class far more selectively, and there's no boilerplate involved.
PyPI still doesn't have this because no packaging ecosystem does. It's impossible to do in the general case if your packaging schema allows arbitrary code execution, which Python (and Ruby, and NPM, and Cargo, etc.) allow.

The closest thing is pattern/AST matching on the package's source, but trivial obfuscation defeats that. There's also no requirement that a package on PyPI is even uploaded with source (binary wheel-only packages are perfectly acceptable).
Level 60: 14 moves (unable to find 13), level 62: no solution, level 64: 14 moves (unable to find 13), level 65: 14 moves (unable to find 13). This is the point at which further play ceases to be interesting and becomes annoying. Please provide some help/tips.
Good question. I need to talk to a few people before I can give you an answer
I see this comment often, but cannot understand how our brains are that different even that what an LLM does. Do we not "consume" enormous amounts of data, then predict what to do/say next based on that data?

Is that not what an LLM is doing?

Note that I'm not saying LLMs are sentient or anything (however, I have thoughts on sentience in general). I am simply saying there's an obvious similarity between how humans think and LLMs -- and for whatever reason, so many people think we are special simply because we are "made of meat".

Emergent in this case means that the property is not present in the individual elements but shows up in the whole.

Anything involving viruses has become a hot-button political issue (at least in the USA). There is a significant faction of people who want to panic at any suggestion of a new pandemic, and refuse to be mollified by any contradictory facts. There is also a significant faction who want to ridicule public health authorities, and refuse to believe that there might be any who are acting in good faith. Anyone in the middle -- like actual scientists, who tend to be skeptical of hyperbolic claims -- gets torched by both groups.

Unfortunately, also in the US, these two factions break down almost perfectly along party lines.
A company's decisions should be made based on ROI, profit margins, etc - not the impact on share price. Companies making decisions to aid short term market valuations at the cost of long term success is a canonical example of bad management in publicly traded companies.
>>"The idea that obesity could be avoided or cured with a little bookkeeping and self control"

> It absolutely can.

No it can't. ;)

Well, not always. I've experienced both sides of this: an effortless loss of 60 lbs with easy diet changes and bookkeeping over the course of a year and a half. And a few years later, an abject failure as the same strategy -- a moderate calorie restriction -- resulted in such profound physical distress that I developed psychological problems long before I made any physical progress.

Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's impossible.

My story is far from atypical. It's common. Practically universal. Everyone, just about everyone, who tries to lose weight, using any strategy, succeeds over a period of months, and fails over a period of years. The reason is that the underlying control mechanism is in a different condition, in different people who may be the same weight.

> people just don't want to feel bad about not having enough self control.

I know you're really attached to the energy imbalance theory of obesity. People often are. But I'd like to suggest that this comment suggests you may have a different motivation for believing in it than just that you find the evidence persuasive.

I often wonder why people get so attached to a theory that I think is in such obvious evidential crisis. A need to believe a simple solution will be there when they need it? A traumatic dieting experience that they need to believe was necessary and useful and healthy? Maybe it worked for them once and they're universalizing their experience? A desire for moral superiority? The fact that deliberately oversimplifying things makes for slam dunk messages on forums?

I don't know, but diet is one of those weird topics where people are attached to their opinion with the religious fire of a thousand suns. While I know I won't change your mind, it does seem fair to point out that your statements are both hyperbolic and inaccurate, and that's not a good sign.
Clearly you weren’t around in the 80s
I don't think it even needs to be open sourced - once people know it's possible, someone will figure it out.
I used to think this too, since I tend to value interactions that range between autonomy and cooperation. Even where I like competition, it tends to exist within cooperative meta-boundaries. I assumed most people probably weren't too different from me, which is a very cooperative thing to assume.

Over time I've come to realize that while of course there's some common nature to human beings, there's also a varying distribution of personality and outlook, including how agreeable / disagreeable people are as well as how assertive. And it turns out on parts of that distribution there are people who enjoy not finding situations that benefit them but winning benefit and status from others.

I don't know whether that's "most" people. I'd guess not and that the distribution gets thinner the farther from the average disagreeableness and assertiveness you go. But it's enough people that I no longer discard adversarial values as a potential motive.
> The YouTube rules are completely insane.

> Whoever makes them has totally lost their mind.

I don't think then problem is entirely YouTube per-se for some of the rules, it is the "people" who demand they do certain things a certain way. And by the "people", I mean (to lesser extent) us, the viewers; but mostly the advertisers, the mega-corps with deep pockets who want to be as far away as possible from everything that's not seen as sanitized humanity.

YouTube, then, like most capitalist entities, is merely incentivized to gravitate towards something, anything really, that will maximize their bottom line.

It's been speculated the reason they shifted to SC was to favor President Biden's

The one thing the Iowa caucus did was make it easier for grassroots candidates. If they hadn't bungled the caucus so badly in 2020 for example, Pete Buttigieg would have had a better shot at it like Obama in '08 (he won the caucus, but we didn't find out for weeks!).
Depends on what you want.

Disposable cups, plates, forks, spoons, etc? Sure... eat whatever was in them, throw them wherever, and they'll rot very fast.

Electronics.. mostly not. Maybe some light-up bracelets for a festival, but those also contain batteries and LEDs, but it's still better if at least the strap degrades and rot.

How do you know their intent? Composition is largely a matter of cropping if you already have the basics down. On top of that, what is perceived as "good" is often very subjective, especially within art. Personally my main intent for using the effect was the vivid colours and the interesting streaks and shadows they make in the final image, and not really to cover anything up. The effect brings a certain life to the photo that a regular still just can't present, especially considering how straight flash photography too often comes off as really dull when you are forced to use only the hotshoe. But there is far more risk involved when using the effect, because when you move the camera, you often cannot be certain of the end result. Even more so with concert photos. They are made in an often very chaotic environment where you have little control, and where you more than likely are shoved around by the crowd as well. The slow flash really accentuates that, and you have to hope your movement syncs up with whatever is happening on the stage or around you while the shutter is open, which can be for quite a while depending on your settings. But then for that reason I think it's the most rock 'n' roll way of taking pictures. On the flipside the images does come out as very stylized, which no doubt isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Wing has already changed their drones to attempt to reduce the annoyance from the noise.

Better batteries may also assist to make drones quieter: if you have a bigger energy budget, you can afford to waste some of it using quieter but less efficient propulsion (like those toroidal rotors discussed here a little while ago).
No PC Jr. :(

I loved my PC Jr. -- my first computer. Spent way too many hours on it, and the reason I do what I do today. Had a number of books on BASIC, and even upgraded the RAM from 128k to 256k (I may have even gotten it up to 512k)!

My first thought too. Especially in Docker for Mac the amd64 containers mostly just work.
The surprising part is, thinking back to it, I don't know if any bugs surfaced. Nothing really glitched out. As long as the internet was up, everything just ... worked. And it's not like I tried extra hard to make it that way. I guess I just threaded the needle luckily.

I don't see it as hijacking because it doesn't seem to interfere with the operation of the page or modify the content. In my view, it's the equivalent of displaying a toast notification or alert with the same information. Obnoxious but I wouldn't refer to it as hijacking.
My comment is in response to this statement from the parent:

> it looks like the Japanese would rather die than change.

Which, in context, was framed negatively, implying that Japanese people should be doing something they don’t want to do to avoid the collapse of their future society.

If you read my comment with this frame in mind, it might make more sense.
What OP basically described is use case for cloud computing and spot markets. Even if only internally.

While it could be made open, I don't see any regulatory reason to. We want companies to reduce waste, and it doesn't make sense to require all companies to build public facing cloud, and integrate their flagships into it, just to open it up to their competitors. It would be like telling Apple that its factories reusing scrap aluminum to make iPhone cases is an unfair competitive practice.
> At some point the cartel will run out of capital

They can't really though, at least not anytime soon -- the cycle itself gives the cartel more capital. If they buy units as they come onto the market, they hold the equity in those units, which they can instantly mortgage out to get more capital, which they can spend on more units, which they can instantly mortgage out to get more capital. This is especially true when interest rates are low, (the lower rates are, the cheaper this cycle is to continue -- at interest rates below the real inflation rate, they effectively get given free money to do this)

And yes, it exposes them to the risk that eventually this bubble could pop, but it could take many years (decades even?) before that happens.
The paper model of the Mac 128K reminds me... Paper models (cars, emergency vehicles) were one of the first things I made on that original Mac. (I might've made a fake newspaper first.)
I agree to a degree

But pigs and chickens are probably much worse morally to eat. Given their entire lives can be hellish. And a majority of people eat those.

Eating an animal that lived a natural life before being harvested seems less cruel to me.

I am sharing my thoughts, not claiming I am "right" or settled on this issue.
I hope more development goes into these smaller language models that are still usable but which I can be run on my own pc.

except that if deno fails because its uptake cost makes it hard for engineers to sell to their org, what does it accomplish then? At least if it's getting used heavily people can invest engineering effort into the ecosystem on company time.
Microfractures and internal stress are a form of flowing in this case.
It was kind of a show-stopper missing feature if you had a large JS project with many NPM dependencies that you wanted to migrate slowly to Deno.

I was not their target demographic before, but I'd guess this means things are changing as they want to scale and gain mass adoption, which sometimes takes bending principles to build a better compatibility and transition UX.

For the record I'm really not asking them to favor package.json or even document it that well, they should still push new users towards the awesome Deno principles that get the industry away from NPM dependency hell. I just think compatibility layers are important for mass adoption, and don't necessarily imply Deno is "compromising" on their principles.
An excerpt from the paper:

"This means that developing these models would have cost around 2,638 MWh under our assumptions, and a total emission of 1,015 tCO2eq. We hope that releasing these models will help to reduce future carbon emission since the training is already done, and some of the models are relatively small and can be run on a single GPU."

Nowhere did I see actual inference VRAM consumption, but this is still very promising. Even if by a "single GPU" they mean an A100, hacks like DeepSpeed could still potentially squeeze the model onto desktop cards, laptop NPUs and such.
Your argument is quickly drifting away from the actual process described in the document

>> 51. Specifically, every morning, RealPage provides participating Lessors
with recommended price levels. Lessors typically must communicate to a RealPage
“Pricing Advisor” that they have “accept[ed]” or “confirm[ed] the “approved
pricing” within a specified time frame. If Lessors wish to diverge from the “approved pricing” they must submit reasoning for doing so and await approval. RealPage encourages participating Lessors to have daily calls between the Lessors’ employees with pricing responsibility and the RealPage Pricing Advisor.

>> 52. If there is a disagreement between the participating Lessor and the
RealPage Pricing Advisor, the dispute is often elevated to the Lessor’s management
for resolution, and specific reasons justifying a departure from RealPage’s pricing level are usually required. But RealPage emphasizes the need for discipline among participating Lessors and urges them that for its coordinated algorithmic pricing to be the most successful in increasing rents, participating Lessors must adopt RealPage’s pricing at least 80% of the time

There is nothing remotely normal about someone having the executive decision making authority to authorise a price variation a third party is trying to make to their inventory but not the executive authority to keep prices as they were. Nor is there anything remotely normal about a person seeking approval to retain or change price contacting a third party company's "Pricing Advisor" in the first instance rather than the approver within their own company. If the "Pricing Advisor" didn't have greater ability to resolve this "dispute" than the staff member who has the ability to "approve" a price change but apparently not to hold prices as they are, why would they be contacted?

Nobody has argued there isn't some ultimate beneficial owner of a property with the power to tell RealPage to bugger off, they're arguing that as described this resembles a normal chain of authority and consultation of third party experts in roughly the same way an MLM resembles a regular sales team. Now if you want to argue that this is deceptive wording on the part of the firm drafting the lawsuit stitching lots of discrete elements together into the appearance of a single process of questionable legality, I'll agree that may be possible (putting the worst possible spin on things is a class action lawyer's job) but then, some evidence of that would be nice...
The more modern games came out when I was older so I never checked most of them out.

I did try a couple of Pokémon games for the 3DS XL during the pandemic. But I literally played those Pokémon games for the 3DS XL for only a couple of minutes and decided quickly that they were not for me.

There were some non-Pokémon games for the 3DS XL that I played for a few hours during the pandemic which were more to my liking.

After I had played the non-Pokémon games for a while I sold the 3DS XL and the games, and even made a small profit when selling them while still having the price I sold at also be a good price for the buyer.

I think probably I enjoyed the small profit and the knowledge that both me and the buyer got a good deal, more than I enjoyed actually using the 3DS XL myself.

Just don’t ask me to account for shipping and handling when I talk about the small profit I made, or it might turn out that I did actually sell at a small loss rather than at a small profit :p
The article is remarkably self-aware on all this, but everything surrounding gourmet coffee is so insufferable. Talking about coffee varieties, roasting, grinding still makes some sense, but these microgram-level scales, calling a stupid plastic funnel "the Hario® v60" and the other one the AeroPress™ (1) sometimes make me want to give up coffee, just to avoid having a common experience with those people.
I can make coffee in a hundred different ways, one of which is putting the damn sieve on top of the cup and pouring hot water on it. The other: mix a spoonful of coffee and a cup of water and boil the damn thing. All the ways come out perfectly fine. How many layers of complexity can you add to something so simple.

(1) yeah, that one's more like a syringe than a funnel.
If governments suddenly wanted to ban fire extinguishers, I think most people would be very concerned about what these authorities might be planning, but instead of fire, when they go to ban the tools we use to protect ourselves from crime and corruption, they get the benefit of the doubt?

When are regulators and enforcers going to wise up to this "clever" game of disguising malicious behavior as negligence? I've seen so many people strategically play dumb that at this point I don't believe whether or not a violation was accidental should have any weight on the punishment.

Nature doesn't care whether our immune systems accidentally slack off, or whether we accidentally didn't protect our cities from a flood. Why would we provide an incentive structure for people to act like they are stupid?
