Might I supply an alternative island definition that would help clear things up? Any landmass surrounded by water where you can acquire a Mai tai is an island - while any landmass surrounded by water where you are unable to acquire a Mai tai is an islet. More seriously - this is like the pluto debate all over again and it seems mostly fueled by negative perceptions of being and not being a thing. Can't we just settle on all distinct land-masses being islands and some islands just being stupidly large? I don't get what we stand to gain by excluding either three or four land masses from the island definition. So long as we're excluding man made canals from the definition we only have Afro-eurasia, the Americas, Antartica and possibly Australia as non-island landmasses - making an exception in a group of thousands? millions? of water surrounded land-masses to not be islands feels exceptionally useless.

I humbly propose we open the consumption of Mai tais to everyone on earth without discrimination. If you object I welcome you to come to a conference I'm arranging on the island of Jylland.
I think bringing it into the first person, by removing the pronoun, is best: "to second guess while writing". I also think changing "to short circuit" to "of short circuiting" reads better, though if that change is made, additionally dropping "sort of" reads best.

"The unprofessional look of it can have the same effect of short circuiting the tendency to second guess while writing."

I can't comment on your grammatical critique. The technical aspects of grammar are taxing to me beyond the 'intuitive' level.
I think we're completely talking past each other.

All the issues you've mentioned are valid issues but they're about the physics. They are relevant and important but, as you say, the Standard Model and QFT have been very successful at describing a large number of physical phenomena at a certain scale, so the model is fine. Its applicability might be limited to certain scales or situations but that's not really different from any other theory in physics.

The problem with quantum field theory from a mathematical point of view, however, is that many of the mathematical objects that the symbols in the equations in physics text books represent (e.g. the "quantum fields", operators, inner products, integrals etc.) don't even exist in any (mathematically) meaningful way. Physicists pretend they do, manipulate them following very questionable rules (The limit N → ∞ doesn't exist? Doesn't matter, we'll apply it anyway and commute it with the integral!) and only the fact that, somehow, when the dust settles, those equations produce numbers that we actually see in experiments, saves the theories.

Take, e.g. the path integral for any of the field theories in the standard model: Physicists derive predictions from it. Yet it doesn't exist[0]: The integral doesn't exist. The measure doesn't exist. The sigma algebra doesn't exist. Etc. etc.

[0]: Or at least the question of its existence has eluded entire armies of mathematicians. So at the very least it is undefined.
No - it's more efficient to just study a single permutation (we call it an alphagram -- the alphabetized letters on your rack). Then, when you are playing, just sort your rack alphabetically and watch spaced repetition at work.
Vampire Survivors: developers used gambling psychology in a BAFTA-winning game
When I wrote my comment I was excited "I can help people understand a thing that was hard for me 10 years ago."

When I read your comment I feel attacked. I need people to hear that the original intent of the DRY does not mean "no duplicate lines of code" and that such application leads to the problem you're describing, while the new definition I'm attempting to introduce does not.

> As with every programming "principle", the DRY principle should be used judiciously and the benefits/drawbacks of applying it in any particular scenario should be analyzed accordingly.

Of course. I agree 100% and didn't realize this was in question. Therefore I think this is a good point. I would have appreciated a "yes, and" comment instead of a "no, but" argument.

I am not an expert on immigration, nor on crime. From what I have heard, in the US, immigrants have a lower crime rate than US-born citizens. This 2018 review article says that this negative relationship is weak:

OUR TOP FIVE WAYS TO WASH MY CAR
From what I've seen this kind of building grows it's own ecosystem of supporting shops, restaurants, and services. Ideally in the building itself but it usually spills over into the area as well.

A lot of attitudes like this become a catch 22 where we can't build dense in an area because it's not ready, but it's not ready because the density is low. Even pro housing folks fall into this trap pretty regularly.
Sorry, I forgot to add "but I really doubt it"
It is working for me right now.
Okay. If you think that, go ask a random American to point to Oceania on a map. Report back to me when you do. :)
I should also point out that the newly built building across the way from this spot has had vacant commercial space since it was completed (24+ months).

This building simply doesn't belong here and the quicker the YIMBY folks understand what is and isn't a bad idea the better.
I know of a used bookstore that currently types up most of the catalog description sheets for their rare items with an IBM Selectric. The person who types them can use a desktop computer just fine, but insists on still using the Selectric. They generally then retype them so they can list the book online, which I always found both neat and totally insane.
I don't think that's actually true, honestly, but it depends on how you count. For one thing, it's very hard to see where "corporations" end and "government" begins.

I mean, yes, wars have killed tens of millions of people. But an awful lot of those wars were on behalf of corporations, involved corporations, or were made much worse by corporations. Just in American history, corporations have directly engaged in straight-up genocides.

All wars, in the final analysis, are about economics.
I guess if you have deep pockets you can try for decades to put the local mom & pop shops out of business?
Do you pay for financial data? I remember searching for financial data APIs for commercial use few years ago, they were quite expensive. Don’t know if it has changed
Yes, I stand corrected.

In fact my friend who studied in UMIST (now part of University of Manchester) introduced me to Linux. The fact that Manchester Computing Centre (MCC) is based inside UoM probably make it accessible to him because at the time Linux was installed from floppies.

It really isn't. If it wasn't such a butcher's shop with GDPR i wouldn't be complaining as i am aligned with the intent. Also hey for someone who's lived in both I much prefer the common law or mixed ways of creating law as it requires precedent first instead of it being made on a whim.

These are Walmart Neighborhood Markets.

They were always targeted at attracting the Mariano’s and Whole Food's demographic.

The Kenwood one (walking distance from Barack Obama's house) faced stiff competition from the Hyde Park Whole Foods and other more upscale stores in Kenwood/Hyde Park, nor could it compete downmarket with Family Dollar.

Also, completely irrelevant to HN (just like SF crime stories).
The source you cite is talking about "large" batch sizes which are still a miniscule fraction of the training set. Their (good) advice has no relevance at all in a discussion of full-batch training.

Full-batch training is not the ideal case. It's a recipe for overfitting. We don't optimize models for their training set performance. We need them to generalize to the true data, of which our training set may not even be a representative sample. SGD works exceptionally well for that.
I've lived in SF for years as a residential property owner, in the Bay Area for over a decade, and I say bring on the development. Views on this issue are not as one-sided as you think.

(Also, the idea that you need to have lived here for some arbitrary tenure to vote on issues is gross.)

SF used to be a very car friendly city, then fauxgressives attempted to ruin it.
That's fine though right?

Clearly, the developer thinks it will make financial sense to build it that way. If it turns out nobody wants it, then all the better, the market forces will drive down the price and make it affordable housing. The only one that loses in this case is the developer. Succeed or fail, it will be a plus for people who want to buy in a housing starved area.
I solved this one!

Plastic drawers with P-Touch labels:
https://www.google.com/search?q=plastic+drawers

You will need all different sizes of drawers. My smallest drawers are a bit over 1" tall and 5" wide.

Use at least 1" tall, black-on-white label tape to print clear labels using standard abbreviations. We all know what "USB-C to USB-C" means.

It will still look messy, but you will always be able to find what you need.

It would be more accurate to compare doctoral degree attainers with other degree attainers holding IQ constant, and perhaps age as well. Everyone gets a job eventually.
> Yes, 212 parking spots for 996 people/bedrooms in 722 units will cause no parking problems.

Hey, "additional parking will be included for 327 bicycles." I guess the remaining 183 units are for walkers only.

People who like stuff like this also seem to irrationally hate cars. But even if you despise cars, it seems like a terrible idea to build residential building without at least once parking space per unit. Doing otherwise is just going to create externalities.
Isn't attainment of nirvana and ending the cycle of death and rebirth the whole point of Buddhism? To avoid the suffering of another incarnation? So maybe for the monks the ritual suicide is something their gut feeling tells them is right?

I mean, I don't know a whole lot about Buddhist, but I suspect that you don't either (please correct me if I'm wrong). And really, is dying in peace during a religious ritual really so much worse than desperately clinging to life in hospital for the final before death, maybe ruining and exhausting your closest family in the process? Don't get me wrong, I prefer our way of life, but I believe you think your (our) culture is the only correct one, and for example refer to it as "gut-checking" or "childlike simple thinking". I don't think it's as universal and obvious as you think.

Neat! Some thoughts, in no particular order...

Make use of the ocean, and the wind. Don't build a building with no good views of the ocean (like that ugly thing[1] opposite the Zoo). Shape it to direct the wind to your wind turbines to generate energy.

Figure out what it's going to do to inland wind patterns.

All of that "land" is sand.

It's faster to get downtown from the East Bay than the Outer Sunset, for both cars and mass transit.

How long until the ocean reaches the building? It's already threatening to destroy the Great Highway.

Can we build a wall of these running North-South from the Zoo to the Golden Gate Park? Then put a roof over the Sunset District? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_River%27s_City_project ) Back-fill housing into a grid or matrix? Like the "stacks" in that movie, but nice?

We could house all the homeless people in the entire country just by building out the Sunset and Richmond districts. Turn SF into a vast "recycling center" for people? (I know that sounds weird but I haven't come up with a better metaphor yet. "Redemption"? "Rehabilitation"? help me out here?)

To grow enough food and handle the waste we can convert [part of] the Bay into Greenwave-style marine farms. ( https://www.greenwave.org/ )

[1] "The Westerly" @ 3535 Wawona St, San Francisco, CA 94116 https://goo.gl/maps/rREGHXWGy8zCAM7G7 I'm generally a fan of brutalist architecture but I hate this, it looks hideous to me. I don't like the way it ignores the ocean.
No one is suggesting that we just pause and that's it. The pause is to give safety researchers time to do their work. Since progress is outpacing safety research, if we don't pause, we will eventually reach the cliff without a way to protect ourselves, for better or worse.
Healthcare costs are already socialized, even here in the United States. We call those costs "healthcare premiums." Why the majority of Americans don't recognize this simple fact is beyond me.

The novel was terrible, at least as art. But it was great fun. I used to think Hubbard was trying to emulate those stories we read in the pulp scifi mags of the 50s and 60s. Now I think that was just his usual style. It _was_ big. And long. The radio advert campaign for it at the time emphasized that. In the end, it really was the summer long scifi marathon in a single book they promised.

Travolta's treatment is very faithful to the book, and the FX isn't that bad for the time. The most memorable parts of the story are the humor at the expense of the aliens, and their self-destructive decadence. Kind of a mirror of our own place and time. The movie got those elements exactly right.

I definetly feel dirty after having taken part in discussions around this on HN.

Why are very emotional but also non-tech related stories being posted on HN.

It's all flamebait (and I've been suckered into contributing to it)
We're not debating statistical trends here, so blanket dismissals of "anecdotes" are themselves pretty useless. I was sharing my experience.

I started the r/sf subreddit 15 years ago (but don't currently moderate it). Yeah, that post was completely unsubstantiated, and was removed by Automod. I re-approved it, although the comment in question does contain misinformation and might have just been a coincidence.

(Yeah, I know, the r/SF subreddit is rough... it's always hard to run a subreddit where the only thing that people have in common is proximity. SF is my favorite place in the world, but it has many real problems. The mods consistently try to find a balance where it's not just an anti-SF crime-ridden sub, but also not censored or hiding real problems.)
Sounds like you are not very familiar with SF.

It's an easy drive south on the 101 to get to the rest of silicon valley, without the horrible traffic/congestion of downtown SF.

Also, unlike many neighborhoods in SF, there is superb muni access and also great proximity to golden gate park AND ocean beach. What better outdoors space could you want?

I lived in the outer sunset for a few years and it was among the most livable of the neighborhoods in SF that I frequented.
Global state consistency doesn’t require “global consensus”.

In other words; agents paying each-other don’t need the expense of awaiting agreement or total-ordering of transactions, in order for the global ledger to maintain a zero balance.

This allows the per-transaction cost to approach zero: the cost of several back-and-forth trips between the nodes involved in the transaction, and the storage of a small number of commits out to a shared DHT (a few kilobytes of unique data stored across several hundred DHT nodes).

The actual cost of resources used is almost immeasurably small, so the “transaction cost” of the micropayments would probably be subsumed in the revenue model of the goods/services being paid for (ie. “too cheap to meter”).

Since no artificial global consensus or total ordering is required, there is no limit on transaction rate — it rises roughly linearly with node count.

The name of the underlying technology is Holochain. You can build and deploy on it now (it’s in beta).

It doesn’t have a “cryptocurrency” associated with it, but a project called Holo has one called HoloFuel (used to pay for hosting Holochain based “hApps”, for those who don’t wish to self host); it presently exists as a proxy — an ERC-20 token called HOT — until Holo goes live.

Many other projects are presently implementing many “cryptocurrencies” (mostly as “mutual credit” style asset-backed currencies), but some are implementing multi-asset ledgers and order-books to provide multi-currency and cross-chain DeFi, without the cost and complexity of using eg. the EVM to do so.

Take a look. It’s a breakthrough. May take a bit to wrap your head around.
So it's probably that this has nothing to do with their competition then, and rather some other factor causing the continued massive losses and ultimately their pull-out.
Well, Antarctica is bigger than Australia.
In engineering influencing can be writing content you enjoy to drive traffic to something you want people to see, or creating videos about subject matter you care about. You don't have to sell people an ebook and lie to them about how you sell SaaS after SaaS for 2.5 billion dollars. I think people get lost in trying to build something that brings in millions of dollars a year, but you only need to figure out how to bring in a couple thousand a month to live comfortably in a lot of places :)
Its only gross if you think being a multi-generational stakeholder is wrong.

A vote here for a SQL cell. I want folks to use Livebook and Explorer more, but a very easy win for data folks who are not familiar with Ecto and are mostly writing complex select statements would be a sql code block that can easily reference a connection.
