I am not a lawyer, but I would be surprised if this holds water, legally speaking. Imagine going to an amusement park and signing a waiver that the park takes no responsibility for your injuries. If you climb aboard a rollercoaster that hasn't seen any maintenance in 20 years and you get decapitated, I'm pretty sure the park is still legally responsible. Getting someone to sign something that says "we did our due diligence" doesn't make it true.
> Millennials are every bit as good as the boomers for having a blizzard of excuses about why they can't possibly be inconvenienced, it just sounds a bit more nuanced. This website is full of it.

The idea that this problem is solvable by individuals changing their behavior when there is a vast ocean of money being deployed to keep everything (roughly) the same is pretty laughable. Changing the behaviour of a large population first requires them to agree on what the problem is in the first place. "Energy" interests have done a good job of clouding the issue and providing enough plausible deniability for continuing the status quo.

Here's a relevant example: a generation of people have been convinced to recycle - but those efforts were largely wasted because the collected material was shipped to China (!) and sometimes dumped in the ocean (!!). So individuals did their part, but "the system" is still going to optimize for cost-efficiency and not for environmental impact.
I would say you only have (limited) influence over the nation you are born into... so, you should somewhat naturally favor that nation's well-being over others. You can only influence the acts/actions of other nations as strings attached to trade/treaty. And can only assume those that you trade with will be making the same emphasis, which is their own nation's well-being.

I live in an ex-urban town and there's very little commercial development in town except at the fringes. However, town services and school need to be paid for and this was becoming an issue without significantly raising property taxes--which aren't super-high but it's also not an especially wealthy town as a whole.

We recently went through a couple of very contentious town meetings about doing a rezone in one of the two parts of town that has some commercial development basically so distribution centers can be built there. But make no mistake. The town as a whole would be perfectly happy to have near zero non-farm commercial activity if that were financially feasible.

By using Google to verify. It’s still okayish to find out whether a statement is true or not. The problem is that Google is becoming worse to find that statement. For example, I wanted to figure out how I should replace a given dependency. Google was terrible, so was Stackoverflow. ChatGPT gave me a guess. For such questions it’s quite right in about 3/4th of the queries, and when I search for the given guess Google finds it immediately whether it’s fine or not.
I get the impression that you think "still subject to the speed of light" is some kind of hyperbole or something, like if you were on a freeway and saw a sign that said "end speed limit" and thought to yourself "welp, still can't go faster than c".

But when you're working on distributed systems that span the planet (say multi-master setups where ~every region can read and even write with low latency), you start thinking of the distance between your datacenters not in miles or kilometers but in milliseconds. The east coast and west coast of the US are at least 14 milliseconds apart:

% units "2680 miles" "c ms"
2680 miles = 14.386759 c ms

and that's not counting non-optimal routing, switching delays, or the speed of light in fiber (only 70% of c). Half of the circumference of the earth (~12500 miles) is likewise 67 milliseconds away absolute best case (unless you can somehow make fiber go through the earth).

Here is viewing HTML mail:

> Until I can figure out how to do edit an HTML message in emacs, I'm stuck using the browser as my email client.

I feel like there are two approaches for this ideally using live-preview:

- Edit the html directly and live preview the result in a buffer to the side.
- convert the html with pandoc to org or markdown, edit that, then convert back and see the live preview

For most email I bet either would be sufficent, but maybe more complicated ones you'd need to either improve pandoc or edit the html directly.
ChatGPT is really good if you don’t need specific facts. It can’t tell you what 1+1 is. But ask it to write you an apology letter and it’s a god.

This notion sounds right, but observationally it is incorrect in practice. In Chicago the neighborhoods cycle between bustling, vibrant - when filled with new, young singles who move in and bring business with them; and eventually evolving over a decade or so into a bougie DINK family-oriented community, before completing the lifecycle as a sleepy, economically depressed place with miserably stable/flat real estate values that you just pass over.

Seen this exact cycle happen with a dozen different neighborhoods in Chicago.

If people were instead moving to a different area, this wouldn't happen. Well, some are moving to different areas (the suburbs, etc) but not entirely.

I think the second one comes from the idea that we inherit the residence and customs as something akin to property. The 'right' to inhabit a particular region in the same way of life, could be defended if people coming to a place disrupted those rights.
It's great for when you can do concurrent I/O tasks. For example running a web backend, web scraping, or many API calls. FastAPI (and Starlette that it's built off of) is an async web framework and in my experience performs well.

Basically, your program will normally halt when doing I/O, and won't proceed until that I/O is done. During that halt, your program is doing nothing (no cpu being used). With asyncio, you can schedule multiple tasks to run, so if one is halted doing I/O, another can run.

Edit: And AFAIK, the GIL does not come into play at all with async. Only when multithreading.

Rezoning empowers the existing landowner to do what they want with the land, within reason. Newcomers don't have any "moral right" over the land but neither do existing residents have an absolute right to dictate what happens on land that isn't theirs. Nobody's forcing people to bulldoze existing housing to increase density, but lifting arbitrary density restrictions give the current set of owners more power over their own property.

I would guess Hash.new does little more than one or two allocations (one for the object, possibly one for an empty hash table that can later be resized), and if it did two allocations, linked one to the other.

If so, that probably is more a benchmark of your memory allocator, which probably is written in C than of ruby.

I also guess you ran the benchmark from a new ruby instance. That means memory wasn’t fragmented. That certainly doesn’t make the allocator’s job more difficult.
I'd suggest trying t-SNE [1] instead; you'll be losing almost all of the variance by projecting onto the first two eigenvectors produced by PCA.

> Now they are free to work jobs and devalue minimum wage labor by working at sub minimum wage prices!

Not trying to defend this bill, and neither do I have a dog in this fight (I live in Seattle), but this is a disingenuous take that is also very misleading.

I am not talking about the second half, I am talking about "now they [teenagers] are free to work jobs" specifically. The reason it is misleading is because teenagers in Arkansas are already free to work jobs. The only difference between now and the timeline where this bill ended up passing is that currently teenagers need to get a work permit before starting work (and if the bill passes, they won't need to).

If the bill was actually decreasing the minimum work age, that would have been a different story, and I would have been opposed to it. But this is just removing a barrier.

Ironically, even though it is not a very similar situation at all, it reminds me of voter id requirement discussions. With the irony being that the dem/rep alignment for that one seems to be flipped (with democrats being against voter id requirements for voting, and republicans being for it), compared to equivalent stances for the Arkansas bill (with democrats being against the law removing the work permit requirement, and republican being in favor of the permit requirement removal).
It's seriously hard to beat libraries. For a while, it looked like the internet was making them less instrumental, but I think the balance started tipping back toward them a few years back.

If you are looking for data sheets, the Internet Archive contains some.
Example: https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3Atoshiba+integrate...

Also, a Google search followed by "site:archive.org" will filter out everything not coming from archive.org, and "filetype:pdf" will return only pdf files.

Sometimes it can be more effective a search for images, so that one can recognize the target book by the cover. That can be especially effective with old titles that were scanned but not OCR'ed where the file name is all one can search for, so that ambiguous part names (for example ICs named like airplane flights) can be easily recognized.

There's very little correlation between per student costs and performance. It's very common for urban schools to have very poor outcomes with very high costs per student compared to suburban towns with much lower costs and much better performance.

None of the actual moving bits are magic, though, and it's way more accessible than an OS kernel. The problem is that 1) you need a lot of raw GPU compute power to train and run a model that has GPT-3 capabilities, and 2) because the end result is a black box, nobody knows how it "actually works". In that sense, it is indeed technomagic.

I wonder if recent price increases are related to this tax bill.

Received this in my inbox 2 hours ago:

> Over the past few years, card networks have increased the total fees that Stripe pays for card processing. Because of these costs, starting June 1, Stripe’s additional fee for international card transactions will change from 1.0% to 1.5%. There’s no change to our standard 2.9% + $0.30 pricing for US card transactions

Did the cost to process foreign cards increased by 50 basis points?

> Whether you win or lose a dispute, card networks charge Stripe a fee in either case. To cover these costs, starting June 1, Stripe will no longer return the $15 dispute fee for successfully contested disputes

Why were they covering the dispute fee in the past, then?
I agree that especially within the standard context of python and its syntax, async seems weird (because it's sprinkled into an existing paradigm).

The best mental model for me always was to think: Here's an await, that means "interpreter, go and do something else that's currently waiting while this is not done yet."

And that's all about IO, because what you can wait on is essentially IO.

By the way, I really wish there was a better story to executors in async python. To think we still have the same queue/pickle-based multiprocessing to send async tasks to another core is kind of sad. Hoping for 3.12 and beyond there.

[edit] one really neat example that helped me get asyncio was Guido van Rossum's crawler in 500 lines of python [1]. A lot of the syntax is deprecated now, but it's still a great walk-through

I just want to stop by and say thanks. Many years ago, I was desperately looking for alternatives to AdobePDF, the unmentioned elephant in the room. I found your software, and never looked back. It was small, fast, and uncluttered. And it still is.
And even then it got very rough the moment I tried to do higher types of continuity in Fusion360.

Maybe SolidWorks handles it better.
Excellent, new to me and I'll give it a go, thanks!

I gravitate to PCA for terrible reasons (undergrad so it's what I think of first) and like you say, it's beguiling yet disappointing, the components rarely have any human meaning.
Dang, this smells like trouble. If Stripe is not profitable right now (since they're raising money again) I'm not sure if they will ever be.

They still have to room to grow, yes, but they should be able to fund a move like this on their own, just MHO. Maybe they grew too fast?

I guess it’s safe to assume you think genetics has no impact on life outcomes and/or there aren’t significant genetic differences between geographically (by ancestor) populations?

> I would simply point to American history as an example of how the empire you seem to laud was built by mixing peoples relentlessly.

Compared to the last 50 years or so these immigrants were all very similar both in history and genetics. And even then it’s been a rough ride! I agree immigrants can be great as long as they are carefully selected for.

> I find it fascinating you think culture doesn’t change with time, but with the mixing of different people into a culture only.

Cultures absolutely change over time but the rate of change is much slower than if you introduce a new people from vastly different cultures. It’s the shearing force applied by the differences that’s the issue. If it’s too powerful something has to give.
