Where do you suspect the problem might be? I know that the memory latency is the primary issue for that engine. It sucked on the CPU of that era, it sucks on the steam deck, but it does not suck for most modern CPU because they have way more L3 cache and better latency outside of it (as the article states)
Now it works, clear cache
80K is a lot for restaurant work. While $40 an hour is not unheard of in the seattle restaurant area, I would not consider this a low bar to reach in that industry (or many others outside of tech tbh).
Cool, I just requested early access! I have been using Open AI's APIs for text summarization tasks, have also played around with a few other platforms.
The part about homes gaining value as they physically wear out seems odd. The value is the land and the zoning permission to have a structure.
Limited compared to what?
Anyway, the mentioned technologies are definitely under heavy research and will advance LLMs capabilities meaningfully.

Exactly right, which is why this whole saga is so irritating to watch. The commentary is heavily biased and its exhausting to filter back to neutral. I just want to know the impact of many engineers leaving

> You'd be destroying everyone's retirement plans

Not where I live. Housing prices have exploded, like everywhere else, but it's not people's retirement plan. We've got state and employer pensions (from a fund not owned by the employer).

So it's not that. Look elsewhere. E.g. at AirBnB, and at ridiculous (both low and high) salaries.
What would change for them? They still need to pay that down in either case, don't they?

Granted, they can sell at some point and make a 3x their investment. But by then, buying another house will also be 3x, and rent will be 5x, so they're kind of back where they started.
Articles like this frequently assume that if new housing can be built, the value of existing housing will go down. Is there data to support this?

Supply and demand is of course a real and powerful force, however if you tear down a single family house and build something more dense in its place, then you can build many units where there used to be only one. My intuition is that the cost of existing houses would not take such a big hit (and might even continue to appreciate), because existing houses have more land and thus more potential to build multiple units within that footprint.
The contradictory part is likely that they were raised, like most, on the idea of this being a meritocracy. The harder you work and the better you are at something the more you should get paid. But of course that's not how the world works.
Isn’t that true of any url though? The U is for uniformly useable, it never guarantees uniform resolution.
Supply and demand is created by the rulers when they create the money supply. Their decision for the past decades has been that money should be created by real estate mortgages and thus there has been an immense shift of wealth to the elderly and real estate owners. Being head chef in a successful restaurant is an incredibly hard skill, but with financial consequences such as the poster you're replying to. Borrowing money at the right time and doing absolutely nothing or the bare minimum has had a much better return than working hard and becoming the best of your trade. That's why so many are dropping out of the regular work force and entire industries are collapsing right now. Is that sustainable in the long run? Are we all to sit on our asses, borrow more money and wait for inflation of real estate value to pay for us? Because, that has clearly been the most successful career as long as I remember.
Then how do you allocate who gets to live in a highly desirable place like Seattle?
> This is pretty much the crux of it. High housing prices could be "fixed" almost overnight

This is a crazy thing to state with almost no justification. How could housing prices be fixed overnight? Please don't say "zoning changes." Plenty of places without zoning issues have really expensive real estate.
I buy one house, my wife buys one house, we set up one trust each for two of our kids to own one house, we get four houses tax free
“That’s an interesting idea! — why don’t you write up a quick wiki entry and we can review it after standup/at the next meeting?”

I see several of us have played that game over the years.

To be fair, sometimes the answer was that I was being grumpy and it was a great idea — which I learned by reading the wiki entry. And the junior engineer learned to sell their idea in writing. Which means even when you “lose”, you still win at being a good senior engineer.

Astrology is almost certainly right in some respects (a stopped clock is right twice a day after all). Other than time of birth thing, I suspect some of the personality traits astrology describes are genuinely traits that humans can have (although, I'm not actually familiar with what astrology describes), they just don't correlate to birthdate/planet as claimed. Astrology was after all created by humans are familiar with human behaviour.

Regarding birth date, I would speculate that one of the most significant effects it has on modern children is how far through the school year they are born (and thus whether they are one of the older children or one of the younger children in their cohort). As you say, it's likely that there's some effect. I personally somewhat doubt it's causes differences in personality anywhere near as drastic the kind that astrology claims.
I guess you mean in any jurisdiction in the US. Where I live, jury trials are for the highest level of crimes (the translation would be felony I guess).

You invested in yourself, nothing wrong with that at all. =)
How is it exactly a retirement plan if your house goes up 200% over N years, but so do all of your neighbor's homes? You aren't changing your relative position to them.
In some sense I agree with you, and it would all be much simpler if the laws could be changed. But I think this is pretty unlikely at least in the next 30 years or so.

But sufficiently cheap/fast technology is very difficult to block. Not sure if there's any actual way housing could get there (would have to be some sort of modular assembled-on-site sort of thing).
I too went for a down payment below 20% (somewhere closer to 5%) because saving up a full 20% would've been daunting to say the least, and as such pay PMI. Still a better deal than renting by a large margin, and the feeling that the cash being put into payments is going towards owning something rather than being set aflame is nice.

That said I agree with the sibling comments that 20% down payments shouldn't be as out of reach to as many people as they are. Housing prices are ridiculous.
I feel like I've been conned by Mike Rowe - I was under the impression that it was brutal work that at least paid pretty well. On the boats at least.
This looks like NAT pushed down to the endpoint itself.

You've saved the translation in the router, but now routing lookups and ARP caches have grown by TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME / TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME.

What are valid values in the scenario you are proposing? The defaults are 1 week / 1 day, so 7X. If you chose to rotate each second, and say allowed addresses to only be valid for say 20 minutes, this still appears to be a ~1200X blowup in routing overheads.
Oh, sorry. I that you were someone from Twitter. My bad.
> I bought my first house in the early 1990s. Saving the down payment was tough.

Compare housing prices since 1990 vs. wage growth over the same period. For the overwhelming majority of people entering the workforce today, there is no way to realistically save for a down payment unless you forego saving for anything else - no 401k, no IRA, no emergency fund, no car, no family.

Maybe they are working on converting third party sign in's (google accounts) to match with replacement accounts? Currently there's no way to convert an established account created using other sites, without creating another account, & one can't transition an account over. Maybe they are addressing this issue?
API is development, could even be a third party update requirement.
And here at the bottom of the see, there is no down payment (financing up to 100%), but young renters still can't get the a mortage of the same monthly amount as they pay rent, because of regulatory reasons -- mortage ceiling is defined as something like 5x gross yearly salary.

Somehow it's fine to pay half the salary in rent, but not fine if it's financing the mortage.
I can't think of another country that has anything like it, and it's largely because of the government market interference (via Fannie/Freddy especially)

It's going to continue to have some weird knock on effects.
Yeah these scumbags constantly text you and send you fake handwritten letters about your house to try to entice you to talk to them. My partner and I were getting A LOT more of them when interest rates were low. She took a "course" once on flipping houses when she was younger and honestly the whole idea of flipping is scumbag central, with "wholesalers" and "lead generators" whose whole business model is to convince people to sell for less than they could get in a proper real-estate transaction.

Basically the course boiled down to "find some rich relatives to con for investment money" and "look around your neighborhood for old people or people who just lost their job and give them lowball offers."
Thank God things were done terribly back then too, or else you'd agree with progress!
He seems to be of the belief that Twitter's issues are bottom line not top line. Hiring would require a major shift in belief.
What are roaring bitmaps?
My son likes playing F Zero X with a real Nintendo 64, but latency is pretty bad on an LCD screen. We told the director of the local reuse center and they told us that they get them from time to time and scrap them because of perceived low demand but they’d hold one out for us when one came in and a few weeks later we had one.

Animation smoothness is night and day better than a modern TV.
I generally agree with the author, and Google style guides generally discourages use of unsigned types (even in C++) for anything that isn't actually a bag of bits.

I don't know how many strange issues I've tracked down that amounted to "this protocol buffer has a uint32 field, and surprise now the value is negative in Java and oops there was a check that cared about that." At least five or six issues.

At least when it comes to serialization, enforce invariants above the serialization layer.

I would love an unsigned byte type in Java though. What a pain.
Yeah, its 45 without traffic, 1h-1:10 on a normal day, 1.5h during the morning and evening commutes. So they're solidly outside the city radius.

The thing is, before I moved in, I did research on 1bdroom apartments within a large radius of the city.

And basically, unless I was willing to move to a very unsafe area or very unsafe or clearly problematic apartment, rents simply do not go beneath my current rent price.

There seems to be an agreed upon price floor from all landlords, and the only thing that changes as you get further from the city center is the size and quality of the apartment.

But that means literally every apartment in about an hour circle of my location is more than my parent's mortgage. At least the roaches and I don't have major commuting costs as well.
What's up with that 467 error code? That's not a standard HTTP status code; I wonder what it means?

Is the fall detection alt-text actually that good here? There were more elements in that image, which I assume people who use screen readers or are reading the alt-text for broken images would want to know.

The "EMERGENCY SOS" slider and "I'm OK" button give more examples of the "straightforward and direct" language that the article text references. I also learned something about that feature itself (besides that it existed in the first place) - Apple's design choices to make the "SOS" a slider, followed by a larger/easier to press button for "I'm OK". Even though it wasn't related to the point of the article, it was information that I wouldn't have learned had I just read that alt-text.

Is this part of accessibility guidelines for alt-text? Shouldn't they convey the same information, whether it's in image or text form, even if it's not directly relevant to the point of an article?

I can also imagine that people have different preferences - maybe some want all the information like I mentioned, whereas others don't want to distract from the point of what they're reading. I wonder which way the alt-text guidelines lean in practice.
For me, there are two differences between Alice and I, how we think about rent v buy.

She is looking at national details. Real-estate prices are very much localized in my experience. I can have a property that is plummeting in value, while a neighborhood just on the other side of the main road is nicely increasing in value.

To me if I sell for no profit at the time the house is sold, I won. If I pay rent X every month, I will never get that rent back. If I pay the same X amount on a mortgage, even if I get half of it back, that is a gain of 50% over rent.
Works fine on my end (considering the contents of his tweets, I almost wish it didn't, though...)
If you look at places in America where land is effectively free, a quality house will still cost you $100K minimum. It's not just land rent-seeking, housing structures cost money.
I'm an economist, yet I only recently realized that adjustable-rate mortgages are economists' consensus best choice for consumers. Based on the expectation that personal economics are well-correlated with broad market economics, and that interest rates will decline when the economy struggles.
Isn't opam read upstream for the public package registry? It seems like opam is the one you need.
The article is flawed from the very beginning. You rarely find similar homes that are both on sale or for rent. The inventories are completely different. And so, fail.
Tax on non-primary properties solves this if you can get it past vested interests.

Reasonable tax breaks for your primary or only home, and none for second homes / investments you let out.

That gives a valve to perform qualitative easing on the housing market whenever you need to, and is not uncommon in other parts of the world.

EDIT: Having read the responses below I’ve realised I didn’t clearly word what I meant here, that’s my bad. I mean a holding taxation rather than CGT. Essentially, an elevated annual property tax on non-primary properties that would have the effect of penalising investors relative to those seeking a home to live in.
Windows/Microsoft in $lang != en_US is also degrading constantly for some years to add salt to the wound. These days I see more and more of what are essentially adversarial examples that "compile" into English through machine translations.

So why is the population of Tokyo steadily increasing while the population of Japan overall is decreasing? Is it all just foreigners explaining 2+% growth rate in recent years despite them making up less than 3% of the cities total population? Or are the people stuck in 100 year mortgages just having lots more kids than everybody else?

This take is an example of a phenomenon I've come to describe as "stat-rot".

Completely missing the point about how people live because of a hyper-focus on median statistics. By definition, the median describes exactly one person to perfect resolution, and the rest of the population only in a binary higher/lower relation. The explanatory power of median statistics is marginally better than mean statistics, but it is not a substitute for and cannot serve to explain outcomes that do not fit the restrictive mold of the "median" person.

> The only solution I can see is absolute carnage in the housing market, and probably the entire financial system failing. And I'm kind of rooting for that, even though I own a home and financial assets: I have children, and I'd like for them to not be in perpetual two-earners + debt slavery in order to afford what their grand parents were able to afford on one salary.

Exactly my thoughts as well and I am in the same situation too (homeowner + kids). I don't want it to happen given the probable turmoil and violence that will come along with it, but at this point I feel like it's the only thing that will bring change.
Yes, this is like Chekhov’s gun or a plot twist. I don’t think the mathematical language in the article is doing them any favors. We don’t understand the story-generator’s internals, but it’s working with words, so a lot of it can be explained in literary terms.

This is what I came to say as well. Phoenix is not LiveView and LiveView is not Phoenix!

And even when LiveView is used, there's no reason whatsoever that you can't still use whatever JS client-side thing you want for things when you need it. There are increasingly more built-in JS functions available that run client-side, and Alpine.js in particular fits neatly into Phoenix and lets you do a ton of stuff. I always add Alpine and use it for menus and other stuff. If the action doesn't need data from the server, I do it client-side in Alpine.

IMHO way too many people think of LiveView as a total replacement for javascript that is all or nothing, but that's a bad approach.
If there's a limited free mode and for a single fixed price you can unlock the full game, that would be the perfect price model for me. The description doesn't make it clear whether that's indeed the case and what that price would be, though.

Downpayments need to be substantial because the owner needs to have skin in the game. Otherwise the borrower could walk away from the house and the mortgage with very little downside.

Housing has most under performed the general market (SP500 for generalities). Thus if your home appreciates at ~3%/yr, market at ~5-9%/yr.... boomers could have increased their wealth 3-5% more yr without homes.

I like the whole food based diet; essentially buying fresh items simple ingredients. Stick to the meat and produce isles, maybe go to the butchers or bakery for local meat and bread, and a greengrocers for local veg. Make things like sauces from scratch. I enjoy cooking which helps. I believe that no matter what Scientists decide are good/bad for that particular year I'm going to be okay because it's simple, fresh, and rarely processed.
It sounds like your main objection is to the price of the house. That might indeed be pretty terrible. The answer is to build more houses in places that we need them, or extend the alternatives. (And we would, as a society, save for the barriers that are put up.)

But opportunity costs are real. The time value of money is a thing. If you distort the price of capital, then capital is misallocated, and society ends up with overbuilt nonsense like McMansions in Stockton that it didn’t ever need, as in 2007, and other damaging bubbles.

2.6% is dirt cheap for money. If anything it’s way too cheap, and encourages excess demand, raising prices all around.
