I don't think this is a housing/real estate story as much as it is a story of immigration impacts. Rinkeby has about 20k residents--and ~90% of them are immigrants (1st or second generation). Nearly all of those arrived in utter poverty, and arrived in a relatively short period of time.

Understandably, large amounts of immigration is coupled with extreme poverty and escalation of crime, rioting, etc. But there are additional implications of terrorist cell links, and more.

It's a complex story.

I think the parent point is that democracy is an illusion in that only few people have any real power, and the masses choosing government representatives is very different from the masses choosing policy.

Did the population at large want National Health, sanitation, vaccination and the EPA? Or did a small group of people in government decide that was best for everyone. I suspect the latter, especially when looking at the National Health system that doesn’t seem to help as well as other systems. You’re right it’s not all “the feels”, but a lot is about making the population feel like they are looked after without doing much to actually look out for their best interests.
not really, he used it to connect two pins together which he thought acted as a switch, but ended up causing a short. People get way too upset about it, if you've never made a major mistake like that, you've never tried to attempt a repair at that complexity at all.

The dream machine, and Steven Levy’s other books (Crypto and Facebook) are also really good.

Yes. Remove SIM card. Use Wifi. Create Account. Choose "Google".

Once the "account" is created, can delete it on the phone, but the Gmail address survives.

The usefulness of this is, e.g., avoiding a cap on how many addresses one can create with a mobile number (SIM card), not some increased level of privacy for the user of the phone. It might be an old/throwaway phone. One might never use it for anything except creating Gmail addresses.

The practice of so-called "tech" companies trying to force people to hand over mobile numbers for anything and everything is absurd. It should be prohibiited by law. Mobile numbers are for making calls.

You’re forgetting that z hops are a thing. Even in a single axis the load from Eg the filament reel depends on the actual weight of the reel, and there’s almost certainly some variation in the cast aluminum frame parts (internal voids are I’m told an inevitable happening in aluminum/metal casting at scale). I assume the input shaping also would be needed on the bed slinger element as well.

As for the bambu, I’m getting voron level performance out of it, though admittedly with a much less open machine. I was using a prusa mini much of the past year but I quickly hit a lot of rigidity issues with its frame that were impossible to address without a total rebuild.

I guess for me the issue is simple: most of the plastics which I want to build stuff with (whether for engineering reasons or haptics of how they flex and feel) really require / benefit from enclosed printing. Pla is an incredibly strong material, but it can’t really handle any flex without brittle failure. And I just don’t like that.

I’m also in the process of putting together a voron v0, which I expect I’ll use even more due to sheer speed and ease of heating.

Nylon and asa and tpu are just so much more gratifying in my use cases.
What is an “interpreter plugin?” Writing a Python C extension is not that painful, it’s quite well supported. And you’ve got cffi and ctypes as well.
We drilled down to 12km of true vertical depth in 1989 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole) as a scientific project, and since then there’s been a handful of commercial oil drilling projects that have hit similar lengths (but crucially not true vertical depth, they go shallower and then go sideways), and some oil extraction projects do drill deep holes looking for oil and then don’t actually extract it because there’s other easier targets.

The best indicator for whether we can harness this water might be something like “what is the deepest true vertical depth that we actually operate commercial-scale extraction projects at”. A quick scan didn’t provide any easy answers, but https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/17/the-worlds-deepest-oi... sounds knowledgeable (at least, aware of TVD vs length) and claims actual extraction at true vertical depths of 20k to 28k feet in the Gulf.

So commercial extraction tops out at ~9km and the limits of scientific exploration top out at ~12km. Ringwoodite is found 50x deeper than that, at 450km. Safe to say it’s well outside our reach.

The other issue is that oil is extremely amenable to extraction: it’s a big high pressure balloon of liquid deep under the earth, we essentially just poke a hole in it and it pumps itself to the surface. Ringwoodite is a solid material, we would have to transport it up that 450km ourselves, and once we have it’s still only a few percent water which we would have to liberate from the material and then break out of its hydroxide form.

Essentially the picture I am drawing here is that a people could sooner mine comets in space than ringwoodite from underground.
The government can't even execute on a bipartisan motivation to ban Tik-Tok.

Technically: No, they are not vampires because the definition of a vampire and the definition of an AI are different. Ethically: No, they are not vampires because they may feed off of us, but it's isn't blood, it's information. The people they are learning from loose nothing by the exchange. We create them; we can destroy them. We can put in stop gaps and safety measures, or we can choose not to. Really, AI can't really be compared to ANY living thing, because a living thing has a will that we can't change or alter.

Sorry to be pedantic, but there is a big difference between "sues anyone", and Tesla suing what must be a small percentage of leavers.

And your links describe lawsuits not for "leaving and joining a competitor", but for sabotage and trying to walk out with trade secrets, schematics and code.

Never underestimate the pull in politics for calls to "protect the children", stop x-ism/x-phobia/etc, foreign boogiemen, or lack of control by law enforcement/Intel agencies... or merely the revolving door that will start once companies like OpenAI become massive and their ex "AI ethics" execs are the ones writing the policy to protect us all from ourselves.

These sorts of "public/private" control patterns and the destruction of competition while maintaining private monopoly control in the pursuit of "safety"/"equity" is America's most reliable religion.

> Copper just isn't the future in my opinion.

HVDC is just fine, thank you very much. The problem is that the US doesn't have very many HVDC links. Even without solar, we really should have more of them.

The real problem, though, is that you really want distributed solar and distributed storage. The current electrical infrastructure is woefully unprepared to deal with that, however. It is far easier to insert gigantic farms into the system via HVDC links that it is to retrofit enough of the system to deal with distributed generation and storage.
In the 1940s the Manhattan project was initiated to race to nuclear weaponry. Now there is a new project to race to superhuman machine cognition.
These two slides in the article: https://d2eehagpk5cl65.cloudfront.net/img/q60/uploads/2022/0... https://d2eehagpk5cl65.cloudfront.net/img/q60/uploads/2022/0...

Neither slide contains much content, so they don't really tell us how Rancho San Juan High School (Salinas, CA) has been teaching Critical Race Theory – but they are evidence that they have been teaching it.

Were they teaching it accurately? We don't have enough information to say. But, it wouldn't surprise me that, even if the original scholarly theories have some legitimacy, a high school tasked with teaching them would mangle them into something else entirely.
In the 90s, I didn't know anyone in their 20s, who didn't have a roommate(or two!), or were married.

No one I knew, could afford an entire apartment to themselves!

I find it weird that people complain about not being able to rent their own entire apartment, but are in their 20s. It wasn't a thing 30 years ago!

As one advances in their career, eg in their 30s, then income tends to rise, due to experience, and better paying jobs.

San Fran is an outlier here. Literally the most expensive area on the planet, with loads of money floating around. Of course rent is crazy expensive.
Exactly this. It’s almost anti open source/user mod friendly to have a fixed calibration at factory time.

Also the level of qc needed to make a one time calibration at factory be accurate for the lifetime of the printer would require an order of magnitude more expensive machine and a service contract to maintain it.

First, you might have meant c = a+b;

The other way isn't really definable as an assignment mathematically.

And there is a lot more to it than just pass/fail. First, an addition doesn't fail, from a computer architecture perspective, the addition will always succeed, the only thing that could fail (in all the usual architectures) are possible memory fetch and store operations when not strictly dealing in register or immediate operands. Second, there is no fail flag. There is a overflow flag, an underflow flag, a zero flag, a sign and a few more that are irrelevant here. Any of overflow, underflow, zero or sign might mean that the operation "failed" depending on the types of your operand. Where the processor doesn't know anything about the type, so there won't be a straightforward 'fail' flag in any case. Only the library or compiler can use type information such as (un)signedness, bignum-ness, nonzeroness, desired wraparound (for modular types) and other possible types together with aforementioned flags to decide if that addition might have failed.

So nothing is fundamentally flawed, what you are describing is just insufficiently complex (because there is no fail flag, just a ton of other flags) or overly complex (because uint32_t c = a + b is modular 2^32 arithmetics and cannot fail).

What a terrible whiny article.

If you actually read the original by Prusa, you will see that it is mainly about 2 things:

1) GPL and other license violations by 3d printer manufacturers

2) fraudulent local patents on things already in production and on market by competitors (who intentionally did not use patents to protect their IP)

If this article was a assignment in a language class, I would grade it a "F" for missing the mark completely.

The answer is very simple - more construction - and to do so, we need deregulation, density, training and innovation.
That is pretty much true, and it's pretty much the only stat that hasn't improved. However, write endurance isn't really a factor in terms of data durability. It has to do more with the drive's ability to continue being written than with the safety of data that has already been written. If your drive goes read-only or loses capacity, that has to do with write endurance. Neither of those involve data loss.

Seriously.

I feel people act naively on these discussions because they are afraid of offending others, but it is common sense that a ~0.3%/year influx of immigrants with low resources over 50 years has contributed in some way to economic disparity in Sweden. Nobody is saying that immigrants are having a negative effect here, it just means that newcomers have an uphill battle versus established families that have been building wealth for decades.

Low interest rates and endless money is the main driver of inequality. Housing was just one manifestation of the root cause.

Well the topic of the thread is "if this concept succeeds".
It's the case across entire countries: The richer a country or region the less children there are.

For the countries and peoples moaning about low birthrates, the simplest solution is to go back to being destitute. The poorer a country or region the more children there are.

Not to say that's a realistic solution, of course. But the cause-and-effect seem fairly clear that more monies equate to less kids.
It’s a big deal because “the tyranny of the rocket equation” works in reverse too. Just as adding fuel is a compounding problem, reducing fuel is a compounding benefit.

>Governments have repeatedly disallowed automating our ports

Can you expound on this?
What did you ask it to do?
I think the issue with this is that the worst-case bounds normally grow much faster than the actual values. And it can be easy to see for the programmer that the values can't actually grow that much because a is only big when b is small or some property like that, but then you have to convince the compiler of the same. I might be misremembering though.
Masters of Doom seems overrated. Jimmy Maher wrote the following about it in a comment on one of his posts:

> It strikes me that Masters of Doom, while entertaining and well-written, suffers from being drawn virtually entirely from interviews conducted by a credulous author with no experience in game development or knowledge of the games industry, which allows hyperbole like this to sneak in.

How can you make such a claim, when you look at the state of many regions/countries in the world?
Nobody's reading this at this point, but I feel like it's a fair cop to acknowledge that I was flippant in that last post. My most succinct response to all of this is:

If you're an incoming DEI dean at a community college where leadership at the school has told you there's a problem with overwrought wokeism and performative displays displacing actual inclusion, then it's absolutely part of your job to undo all that woke stuff. But your role as the "DEI dean" is, principally, to persuade faculty and registered student organizations to adopt a more productive "DEI" frame. You can't be persuasive introducing propaganda from FAIR, because: regardless of what De Anza's status is in the ranking of US higher learning institutions, everybody there can Google and find out what FAIR is about, and the moment you cite them you've nailed yourself to a pole in the culture war.

This isn't the only disqualifying action Tabia Lee took at De Anza (I sheepishly admit: I burned an hour or two looking random stuff up here, for no valid reason I can retrospectively discern), but it's the easiest illustration to give of how not to productively push back on wokeism. Don't do things that are trivially caricatured, and especially don't do those things when there's real substance to the accusation.

A hard-won lesson: being right is worth nothing if you can't persuade people. Congratulations, you can tell people you told them so, and they'll just be even more irritated with you.

Looking forward to seeing where Lee ends up on the conservative speaking circuit. Nobody's going to make the mistake of hiring her in an institutional role again.

this is not correct, as there is no reliable definition of "all replicas" -- nothing ensures that all replicas in the system are represented in the accounting for a given entity
For me a lot has to do with setting and impulse. I‘ll take a week off from work and lock myself into a hotel with a spa. The weeks before I spend curating a learning/reading list (which is mostly a reading list plus a definition of the sessions goals) and hesitate to read any of it early on. This keeps up a certain tension while collecting material (after a couple of days most people me included tend to start looking for new adventures otherwise). However I passively start to think about the topic and every time something new comes to my attention it’s sorted to the list.

Ya that seems to be part of consensus, and consistent with what I'm seeing in terms of when some places were built.

The suburbs around Vancouver gradually decrease in price a bit, but for obvious reasons and not enough to make much of a difference. It's like going from $750k for a 1 bedroom to $550k for a 1 bedroom and that's sort of the spread within reason; an absurd gap to be sure I don't mind them, but I'm just thinking about it terms of being able to stay in my community for once.
This is the exact same thinking that brought us the Four Pests campaign, or the cobra effect. They also thought that any solution was better and didn't think about the higher order consequences.
