You don’t need to be that creative to think of ways to do this without getting into “owed sex” trap.

First thing I could think of in sixty seconds: State money can sponsor singles nights with a few free drinks for every person attending courtesy of the government. Pays for responsible security and all the appropriate safety and security.

That’s just a minute thinking, I’m sure a few hours or days work could do much better. And it’s infinitely better than just giving them money directly which will likely not drive the sort of interpersonal behaviour changes they hope to sponsor since money can go directly into the things these people are already doing with their time.
It definitely shouldn't be if we lived in a perfect world. But stats prove otherwise.
If the tolerability of being homeless here contributes to more homeless, wouldn’t we see less homelessness here if it’s less tolerable?
This flexibility is a big draw. I can experiment with in memory, launch with cloud, and move to my own infra if I’m lucky enough to need that kind of scale.
Take two lists of data(where you need to map them semantically) and map one to the other then generate the code. field level mapping where the descriptions for each code are in the tables or in the data name(check, cash, charge) mapped to CHK, CSH, CC.

you have a list of 300 products and you want to create a table of categories.

crud code. give it a list of fields and a table name and you can generate a create statement(with it guessing types), html form, db access code.

looking to do a simple project but with a twist and create a tutorial in a language you don't know very well.

the thing is isn't not a knowledge base. can you build a knowledge base and use it as a front end. that's where the power lies.

it will also do a pretty good job of generating realistic field level test data

> I just want to point out that under the common law definition of assault (and i have no idea what definitions are in effect in SF), the fact that the person calmly ignored them points that this might not be assault.

This is actually an interesting point of semantics to me. I guess it'd really hinge on how you define "calmly" here - if you saw me walking my dog while a homeless person screamed that he was going to kill me, I would certainly appear calm. Even internally, I suspect my heart rate would increase but not enormously. Still, I would be very alert and mentally prepared for the possibility that this person is going to attack me, because I very much believe that to be possible. Given that, I would say that I have a reasonable apprehension of imminent harm (and I expect a lot of San Franciscans are similar in that regard).
Well, the first step would be to get both men and women disconnected from virtual stimuli like porn and social media. Satisfying ones sexual and emotional needs through the screen doesn't seem like a good thing if the goal is to make young men and women get together.
Could you link to the story without naming the accused? I find that curious as well.

Every major (and minor) city has crime. Not a crime problem. A crime problem means the rate is too high for the population size.
When did the journalist sign their rights away to download a copy of the video uploaded by a third-party? If the journo had their way, the third-party would have given the video directly to the press.

The third-party who uploaded the video already waived their own rights, and by accessing the site, the journalist also agreed to be bound by the T&Cs.

It provided the original funding for many fo Zurich's public services.

> San Francisco is just as wealthy as Zurich

Kinda, but in a very different way. It requieres way more people, so it imports way more people. This makes the city more dynamic but also makes it harder to do sensible long term urban planning for example.

Also many services grew organically and are disfunctional such as the healthcare system in the US. That alone could fix many of SF problems, related to drug abuse (which is a healthcare problem not a crime one), medical related poverty and homelessness and mental illeness. With that alone, ignoring other solutions you would see a massive improvement in QoL in SF.
to do that i would have to sever connections to most of my friends and contacts. not being able to use whatsapp, wechat or whatever else is popular where you are is really isolating.

> Ritual cross-dressing was part of her cult worship, and transgender individuals were included in her priesthood.

They don't cite the transgenderism. It is dangerous to take our view on an issue and cast that back on a much older culture. Cross dressing and even using different pronouns did not coincide with transgenderism across cultures. Indeed, many times this happened merely in a stage context. I would like to see a citation here.

The other problem is that they are using slightly contradictory myths about Inanna to suggest she's not entirely feminine.. but myths are local. Myths are not coherent. There is no "keeper and editor of Inanna myths". Different people write different little stories and they have different ideas. You can't treat contradictory myths as being meaningful information on the nature of the deity in the general populace. Most of the prominent works do paint Inanna as a woman and a biological mother - not a eunuch.
Not every city has the same crime problems. Stealing in Tokyo will get you thrown out of the country. Stealing in SF is acceptable and will get you praise.

Two quick things:

First, you apparently missed this paragraph:

Rather, Lee and Momeni were portrayed by police as being familiar with one another. In the wee hours of April 4, they were purportedly driving together through downtown San Francisco in a car registered to the suspect.

Doesn't sound to me like the reporter is just speculating based on the LinkedIn profile.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure you have the wrong filing. The LinkedIn profile says "Inc", not "LLC", so I think it's probably file #4776106, which is still active, and registered with an address in Emeryville, which is where police were headed to arrest Momeni.
It sounds similar to how my ISP only offers 25mbps upload to go with 900mbps download because "none of our customers use any more than 25mbps".

Of course they won't use more than 25mbps if you literally throttle them to that speed. What a joke.

> I think in future people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up.

Neal Stephenson goes into this topic with some depth in his 2019 novel "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell". Through his narrative he argues against the notion that any amount of false information on the internet will lead to people not trusting the internet.

Photography at large has been grappling with this same issue since at least the 90s when photography transitioned away from film and digital manipulation of images was suddenly possible. Today, photographs are still used all the time in journalism, in insurance claims, for identity verification, and in other matters were it is important to establish truth. We still largely trust photographs (but to a lesser degree), even if a skilled teenager can completely fabricate an image or video on a Saturday.
My concern is stagnation. Everything about AI currently is derivative, by definition. Arguably much human endeavour is derivative also, but some is not. Why create something original for it to be sucked up by AI?
Code World[1] is a great project that addresses a number of the problems from the article, with an eye towards using Haskell to teach children basic math and programming simultaneously. Code World directly addresses a number of the obstacles outlined in this article:

1. Using an online editor with a rich built-in library removes any toolchain problems.

2. A custom standard library simplifies pedagogically unnecessary details like Foldable

3. The custom standard library also avoids currying (f(a, b) for functions rather than f a b)

4. Custom error messages improve the feedback students get from the compiler

I would highly recommend Code World to anybody looking to teach programming with Haskell. If you want to teach Haskell in a way that fits the existing ecosystem, it's also possible to run Code World without the custom standard library[2].

Sorry to be blunt and snarky but check your energy bill. You pay twice per kwh what Finns pay while breathing in more coal fine-dust and therefore having a shorter lifespan. Nuff said.
I can't imagine you live in SF, because this is just bad advice.

You don't attempt to de-escalate. You completely ignore. You do not try to grab their wrist. If they brandish a weapon, you run.

You don't report the incident to law enforcement, because they do not care and will do nothing.
How safe you are mostly depends on your gender, size and frankly race. If you are a tall male your experience is simply not comparable to someone that is less able to fend off a physical confrontation.

Its great nothing traumatic happened to you, but I’ve seen how much more of a target for harassment some of my friends are and I don’t blame them for being afraid.
The whole point of those platforms is to reproduce content for my personal consumption. After it is reproduced, no matter how, streamed or downloaded etc, original creator still has the exactly same degree of ownership as before, so their interests are unaffected.

If I don't pay, YT profits from me watching ads so to provide any reproduction capabilities that mean I watch ads less would take bread away from their tables so that's okay. If I do pay, YT profits from that, so I expect it to provide appropriate reproduction capabilities at least by not throttling youtube-dl.

You also forgot that their women are unapologetically not interested in the average Korean man. Because of the insane requirements put on women who marry (take care of both sets of parents and husband), most are simply refusing to date or settle down.

Their nightclubs frequently ban foreigners, ostensibly due to "risk of crime or violence" but absolutely in practice because they know that foreigners do quite well, too well in most clubs.
If you've already got a drugged up person with their arms around you, I don't think "kind words" will help you unless you got lucky and met a kind stranger of ecstacy. By pure luck this worked. Most times, when you have a druggy grabbing you from the back, it won't go so nicely IMO.
I'm not saying it does.

Your comment is exactly what I'm talking about "Nvidia has millions of lines of open source" "Yeah but their driver though - they hate open source and I hate them". It's not that simple.
I don't think that this is right. A programming language is useful to programmers if it's oriented around the structure of the _problem_ and not just the structure of the _physical machine_. For some tasks these coincide (especially if you care about performance) but I frequently find myself in situations where functional code is simple and the machine is irrelevant.
I've lived in SF for almost 30 years. I agree 100%. Sure, there's a lot more sad/ugly homelessness in the post-covid era. The shantytowns out by Candlestick are depressing. The Tenderloin continues to be a mess.

But do I feel less safe? Absolutely not! The neighborhoods (where most people live) are just fine. I regularly walk home from the bars at midnight without a care. It's simply not a problem.

Compare back to the mid-90's, when there was active gun/gang violence in the Mission corridor ... quite frankly, I feel far safer today than I used to.

Large language models will change the way we write code, but not make code disappear. We will always need code to execute software.

But we don't use punched cards anymore. We don't write low level machine code anymore, unless we must or we are into that. We don't have to use complex and difficult programming languages when we can do the same in a few lines of Python that abstract everything. And now we don't have to write most of the high level code as we can have a loose conversation with the machine.

I'm expecting that the demand for good coders will stay high, to use these new AIs, fix the bugs, check the outputs, and build much more ambitious projects.

However the demand for cheap coders that write simple applications will disappear and be replaced by machines. The humans will do other activities instead, in software development or not.
Yeaaaaah, until that stranger ends up being a total sketchbag.

As a woman, unless I'm meeting other women I'd never feel safe about this. Even so, it would be weird.

Could never be down for this, and I'm only half a recluse.
Development has gotten much faster since the 2000s: better languages, better IDEs, better libraries, better design practices, better documentation, better online resources, better (faster, less buggy) target platforms. I remember when I was first writing code in the early 2010s writing Objective-C in Xcode 3 with manual memory management. Developer productivity has exploded more than most people realize.

And yet developers have always been in demand. We just have a lot more programs now, and a lot of very-similar and/or niche programs. All the random libraries on npm, Rust, Haskell, etc. the various crypto-currencies, static/dynamic webpage builders, 3 separate JavaScript runtimes. People start businesses and actually get funding for these libraries. And it seems like a lot of companies want almost the exact same product, some "business solution" or "cloud solution", but they have specific reasons existing solutions aren't acceptable (performance? security? some feature?), so they pay $200k+ salaries for developers to build them.

But will this always be the case? Even ignoring GPT4, we don't really need these developers who are working on niche and similar projects; we are having a harder time getting hired right now with the economic downturn. And still, it's entirely possible this growth has a limit, and GPT4 will make developers turn ideas into working products faster than people can come up with them.
Funny.

When I was 17 I also spent most of my money on video games, but it actually helped me socialize a lot because pretty much none of us had internet.

The more I think about those problems, the more I see the internet as the big culprit.
Neighborhoods always change but if SF were to actually build housing then people could have a place where they could still live.
> You're literally inventing a new category of crime

There are actual laws against threatening people I'm not inventing anything. I grew up in a major city with plenty of crime problems, and I still absolutely expected police to respond to someone who had a knife and was threatening to kill people. Clearly things have gotten worse if they're now ignoring such crimes.

> Isn't the Occam explanation here that... you're just wrong?

First, I never claimed SF was the worse - I simply said we don't have enough information to make reasonable conclusions in either direction.

Second, Occam's razor says that if the crime statistics are the same in two cities, but we have a ton of anecdotal evidence that one city is ignoring certain crimes, then that latter city probably has a higher crime rate.

If we had page after page of anecdotes that SF techies are just snowflakes and what they're responding to is totally normal, that would obviously change the equation.

Of course, keep in mind, if you're right, we've simply established that EVERY major urban center has a huge problem of "crazy people threatening people on a regular basis", and that's still an incredibly undesirable situation that we want to fix.

I'd also be curious why I don't hear about people from New York, London, Seattle, etc. reporting that it's totally normal for crazy people to threaten them with a knife. Surely there are techbro snowflakes in Seattle, at a minimum?
My emacs config is zero lines.
The problem is you actually don't understand what assault is. Assault does not involving actually touching someone - that's battery. What you're describing as verbal assault is actually assault and is a real crime, generally considered to be violent crime in crime statistics.
I don't consider two of those to be good comparisons to mass shootings of the "kill dozens of people in a couple minutes" variety.

The Saskatchewan stabbings were attacks at 13 separate locations across a sparsely populated reservation rather than a single mass casualty event.

The Sagamihara stabbings were attacks on sleeping disabled patients inside a care home. It reminds me more of Angel of Death type mass killings (by nurses / doctors). He considered it to be euthanasia and the weapon could have been a pillow - the mass killing was not down to the deadliness of the weapon but the passivity of the victims.

The Anqing attack is a better example - a single event against conscious victims. Nevertheless, mass stabbings across the whole globe are rarer than the daily mass shootings in the US.
Others would trade lifespan for mobility.

Which makes perfect sense, since you are in fact built to move (the brain is the natural boost of the organ for movement - for exploiting freedom).
Yikes. Please do tell how you came to that conclusion.
I was wrong, but let me justify jumping to my previous preconceived notions! Amazing humility.
The EU privacy watchdog is doing its work in a pretty measured way, and has broad support among the population, at least the segment that I'm aware of. They stand between us and various companies that use our data for purposes never intended when the data was shared. The industry has had more than two decades to self regulate but instead of putting on the brakes it turned into an arms race, and the only way to stop that is to have a referee and an level playing field.

If you see them as 'extortionists' then more than likely you would be on the wrong side of the line when it comes to using your users data. They do not and have never fined companies without first giving them more than one option to back down on abuse of data subjects data.

I know that regulation is anathema to industry but some regulation we apparently can't do without. And even today there are still plenty of bad actors but I sincerely hope that one of these days one of them will be regulated out of business and then maybe the rest of the cowboys will realize that at least in one part of the world you need to play nice or you get thrown out.

Could they do a better job? Yes, absolutely. But that would mean more, regulation, much more in fact. If my experience is any guide then even today there are still lots and lots of companies that break the law with impunity simply because they can and there isn't enough personnel to deal with it all. But personally I'm pretty happy that they've done what they have done so far, you can really see the difference between before and after.

It depends on where you are in the city. I live in Portland and I don't think I've someone get attacked in the entire time I've lived here. But I also live in an area that is less popular with the mentally ill and drug addicted
