You need the gird either way.

Imagine you have a neighbor and a powerplant miles away. You cant rely on your neighbor so you must build a connection to the plant to supply 100% of your need. Imagine the connection costs $100 a month fixed. The plant sells power for $1/kWh. Why would you ever want to pay your neighbor $10/kWh plus the $100/month for the connection?

At the end of the day, nobody wants to buy rooftop solar above wholesale rates. The power company doesn't want to, and the other customers don't want to.

It is wasteful greenwashing, like cutting down ten trees to plant one. You could provide 10x more clean power industrially for ever 1kwh produced on rooftops. You could do it with far less pollution and waste.

Im fine if people want to do it for their own use, or sell it at wholesale rates. Just dont force me to buy expensive power from your pet project when I can get solar energy from someone else for 10% the price.

This article like many others claims a mass exodus from Twitter, but Musk claims usage is at an all time high. I wonder which is true? I’d be inclined to think Musk is lying. He has clear motive to do so. But on the other hand, he has access to the actual numbers unlike any of these writers who are relying on anecdotal evidence. The writers also say hate speech is more common, but my anecdotal evidence says the opposite is true. Genuinely torn on this one.
GPT is "only" capable of generating text, as of now it cannot do any explicit calculations. But if you ask it what is 1+1, maybe it can answer "2" since it has seen that example so many times. It still didn't do any math though, only text / token processing.
>salt and hash all PII data

Can you share more detail on this? On this page[1], I see this:

hash(pepper(salt(ip address + user agent data))) = anonymized hashed data

Both the ipv4 space and typical user agent possibilities are pretty small, so it feels like you could easily de-anonymize it when you want to. That is, assuming the "salt" and "pepper" are stored somewhere. I assume you do store them, otherwise it's not helpful to identify repeat visits.

Absolutely none of this justifies blaming every violent crime on homeless people, as HN is quick to do. SF is not an outlier, nationally, in terms of the proportion of violent crimes perpetrated by people known to their victims.

The cost is also in debugging. It’s much harder to figure out a problem after the fact because you’ve forgotten how the code in question works. If you catch a mistake while you’re coding something up, you can fix it immediately and not give it a second thought. But if you need to track a bug down weeks or months after writing the code, it can take a lot of work to figure out what the code does (and why), and why it is behaving incorrectly.

I’ve lost weeks to a memory leak once in javascript that was a 2 line change to fix. If I realised the problem when I wrote the code, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble.

This happens an awful lot with frontend components, which is the basic reason a lot of component systems end up failing.

It's really common for things that are merely similar to look 'duck-type style' literally the same early on when they're basic.

But the similarity is just an intersection. As things get more advanced the non overlapping bits come in, conditionals get added, compromises are made, and things end up a mess.

Often all along there should have just been two copies of the markup / behaviour that just happened to be the same in the beginning. Then when things change you add, statically, exactly the extra things you need to either one.
I wear shirt sleeve button up oxfords to work all the time. I have never heard anyone say anything about them.
This is the first actual explanation of a dogwhistle that I've _ever_ seen, and I've seen the word used many times. I think we could be doing a much better job about educating outgroups on the terminology that's created to label behaviors we want to effect.

Apart from that, the actual concept seems slightly tenuous to me. Like, it seems like anyone could say something is a dogwhistle against some group and the only way to disprove it is to have people of said group publicly communicate that they don't associate the negative meaning of it. I assume this basically never happens because if you belong to a group that's told they're effected, you'd probably trust that. It seems that this would easily lead to fake dogwhistle proliferation and make the waters _very_ muddy. You could say this assists in the effecacy of the method.

However, having seen these memes be used all the time in many places and never once observing an actual hateful meme, i question why the average person would be concerned. Not only have i never seen honkler in the context of naziism, I've never seen a jewish person (or anyone up to this point) speaking out against its usage in such non nazi contexts. And the fact that there's so many people in these comments saying they never knew it was associated with naziism really makes me question if any of us should be concerned with its regular usage.

It just seems to me like an in group meme that a bunch of basement dwellers think is gonna convince people nazis are okay, which the average person will literally never see in any nazi context at all, and which a small group of people are very very upset about, seemingly believing the claims of the basement dwellers. Like, it could be literally any image, and the vast majority of people would never know the difference. How many people are actually behind effected by this? (Genuine question)

If i see a racist meme I'll call it out, but I'm going to go back to enjoying the parts of the internet that are capable of utilizing arbitrary images for fun.

Vi is like an standard for moving around and editing text files. I use Vi-style commands in all my editors: Emacs, IntelliJ, and VSCode. For me, any application that supports Vi keybindings and has some sort of command palette will feel like home.

Regarding why edit files in Emacs instead of vim: I simply work on Emacs. I don't use a CLI or a file manager to navigate to my files, I already have projects set up in Emacs and can quickly open files in any such projects. Emacs also holds my note taking system. And when I'm dealing with git, nothing comes close to magit. Also, I've been using the Spacemacs framework for years, which makes it really easy to create such a customized and efficient configuration without much hassle.
Ok. Yes absolutely. Actually I had that experience as well and I had to learn the generation logic. Waste of time.

I had good experience when the code is generated, and eventually updated automatically but for other shape and purpose it’s normal code. The generated code goes in version control.

So really it’s a scaffolding operation. But still, I was impress by the quality and ever cleaverness of the generated code. ( because the generator was written with a unique, specific target in mind )
People have a lot of good intuitions about how they’re doing. They know what being sleepy feels like, they know when they’re angry, and a number of other things.

Well duh, plants evolved a different system to sense the world and communicate.

> in terms of the proportion of violent crimes perpetrated by people known to their victims

The factoid you're trying to cite is specifically about murder. Most homicides are indeed committed by someone the victim knew.

SF's homicide rate isn't out of proportion with other big cities. It's crime rate is, however, and the overwhelming majority of crime being committed there right now happens to be from homeless transients. The types that break into your car to sell whatever they can get a hold of for more drugs.

Crime is severely under-reported in SF. The police are powerless to do anything to a transient - they will not pay a fine or appear in court anyway after all. So the system negatively feeds into itself - false crime statistics, which gives the politicians cover to claim crime is down. Just go there yourself... you can see it so very readily.

The cleanliness is another related issue.

SF needs to get itself back in order. It's driving people away.
I believe the key is not only looking at the code, but the semantics behind the code.

Two pieces of code might look alike at a structural level, but maybe have different variable names, etc. because addressing different needs that happen to have the same solution _right now_. You can have similar solutions to different problems, but only when you confirm you’re actually dealing with a _single_ problem disguised as two is that you can be confident in deduplicating solutions. As always, the trick is focusing on the problems instead of solutions.
You're fighting a strawman; no one has made any comments to this being "a phobia worth pathologizing".

As far as I can tell, folks are just commenting on how this affects their demographics and ability to scale social services in the coming decades as their tax base shrinks. That's a real problem.

I don't see how you read any other intent.
Wow, heavy read.

A year ago I would have written this comment off as absurd but seeing the emergent abilities of these LLMs has me convinced that we plausibly could be on the brink of the sort of super human intelligence that you describe.

Look at it this way: do you want police not disclosing who they arrest?

Name, age, city is pretty common; especially name and age of someone arrested. I'd imagine it public records.

Some quick googling for recent examples. I just looked for news articles, not sure what if the police release has more residency info on the ones that aren't listed in the articles.

To each their own. Minds function differently, desire different workflows, and thus are extended better with different tools.

I use both non-evil emacs and neovim, given the mood I am feeling that day. For quick and dirty things, I prefer neovim, and for more extended workflows, I prefer emacs.

But besides functional differences, the two "mediums" feel different. Neovim is clean (and hangs less in general). No bloat. Emacs is a monster, suited towards my liking (with many years of .emacs config).

But as much as I love Lisp, sometimes you want to get away from the bloat and sit quietly with a blinking cursor in vim.

That isn't a perfect reason to not customize your local editor. Most all allow opening remote files and shells. And simpler things like recently opened files can already be very convenient.

Simply put, IDE in the IDEA sense is not the only end goal. Such that that straw man is obnoxious.

Now, it is perfectly fine to just not want to. Such that I am not saying you should reconsider. Just don't be too proud of that reasoning.

I think this is taking things too far.

A system where humans split garbage from recycling, and then potential split recycling into e.g. corrugated cardboard, glass and everything else can work just fine.

How do I know this? It's the system we have where I live, and as far as I can tell, it works better than most others.

Contamination remains an issue, but that's likely to be even more true if humans do no separation at all.

Indulgence doesn’t necessarily have to mean abuse.
As I said I have done research work and a written a PhD thesis on operating systems, and I've worked on several production kernels including Linux and I find it hard to fathom this hill you all are trying to die on. You can't just redefine important concepts however you like as the arguer is trying to do. Names mean things. If you want to pretend that x is y and blue is red, then we simply can't discuss the topic because you're not able to agree on the basic particles the community uses to have discussions. It's just contrarianism.

Microkernels are defined by privilege levels. It's not debatable. You wouldn't say that something is true microkernel because it's modular. We could have more interesting discussions about the actual topic if you and the original poster could accept common definitions like any sane technologist.

This is what I'm talking about: this is a thread about a violent crime, and you're talking about quality of life. This has nothing to do with the tragedy at hand, and conflating the two only serves to demonize society's most needy.

Based on my experience with these ransomware actors (I've negotiated at least a couple per month since December), they definitely have the data they claim they have. Usually they only pull PDFs, Office docs, etc, so the entirety of their exfiltrated data for a large corp might only be 50-100GB.
You're right, here's some data to support your point:

>In 2020, the reported violent crime rate in S.F. was 21% below the average of 20 most populous cities other than San Francisco for which there was full 2020 data available. Meanwhile, the city’s property crime rate was 41% above average.

>San Francisco’s violent crime rate has declined significantly since the early 1990s – a trend that is consistent with the rest of the state. Anti-gun violence initiatives in S.F. may have contributed to this trend.

I visited their office many years ago and they were absolutely working on cleaning up trash in an office environment as their main task. Not sure what you saw. The robot seemed too slow and incapable to do almost any other useful task. At the time I thought they were clearly focused on the wrong things and I'm not at all surprised the department was cut.

Google should have cut this earlier and kept Boston Dynamics instead. I mean it's cool work but my opinion is that general AI advancements are going to dramatically change how all this is done in pretty short order. Meanwhile the hardware side of things is in need of way more investment, and that investment won't be obsoleted as the software improves, in fact quite the opposite. The investment will pay off in spades when the software suddenly becomes able to do many more tasks given a capable body. Google was too impatient to keep investing in hardware until the software was ready.
