Canada public broadcaster Twitter account labeled '69% Government-funded Media'
At the last house we lived in, we were renting. We got a constant stream of real estate agents knocking on our door asking if we’d be willing to let them sell it. So when we got a knock one morning I opened the door and kind of yelled at the person, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?” It was a new neighbor that had moved in a few doors down bringing us a bottle of wine and to let us know they were new to the neighborhood. I apologized for my boorish behavior, but they were apparently too shaken to get over it. Every time I saw them after that we’d wave at each other, but it was clear they wanted nothing to do with me. Until we decided to move out. Then they were very interested in the house and possibly buying it (I assume to flip it). The neighbor stopped me one day and said, “let us know as soon as you can when you’re moving out. We’d like to talk to the owners about buying it.” I never let them know. The entire act of bringing over a bottle of wine was just to try to get on our good side in case they ever wanted some favor from us. Meanwhile, the other neighbors we met there were great, and we still talk to them from time-to-time.

I can easily see your neighbors in Kirkland assuming you were either real estate agents, sales people, or trying to convert them to another religion or something like that.

Seems like the obvious answer to this question is just greed and/or ambition, right? The target audience for this article seems to be white collar workers and most professionals can mostly live wherever they want, they just have to accept the pay grade & accommodations that come along with that choice: none of which involve poverty or desperate circumstances.

Anyhoo.. anyone that wants advice about making friends locally my only offering is go volunteer at a local community organization, help run the local community hall or skating rink, you'll meet interesting people with pro-social views. If you find people like that to be around what you find is that being their friends is pretty easy.
Hint : remember the most voted youtube comments from years ago?
Redis only uses Lua because Redis is written in C, and Lua is dynamic but has a good JIT compiler.

For software written in JS, it would be natural to use another dynamic language with a good JIT compiler, namely JS again.

I could see how introducing Lua might make sense if KV.js decided to be a faithful reimplementation of Redis's interface and (parts of) semantics, only in JS. Then dropping it in as a compatible replacement might be easier if Lua were supported, like in the original Redis.
Maybe because I previously had Windows 10 on it, but I found a github repo related to Microsoft activator scripts which simply activated windows. It's an open source batch script, seems to have worked. Surely it wouldn't be on github if it were illegal.
That’s a generous usage of the term “empirically well-validated” and “law”
Remember when the Microsoft Store sold Microsoft Signature PCs? Those PCs were advertised as being fresh Windows installs with no adware, no bloat, and no vendor-added "benefits." Those were the days. Now Microsoft has stopped selling them and decided they wanted a piece of the pie.

However... honestly, I feel terrible for anyone who pays for a legal, retail, copy of Windows 11 Pro. Spend $199, total "F you" response.

A lot of people's reaction to longtermism is hostility and derision and that's often my reaction as well. However, I want to give a coherent explanation for my reaction, since this stuff appears often.

Human beings are known for values that are risk-averse and loss-averse relative to the supposed "rational" positions of optimizing an abstract utility function.

If someone has, say, a plan to murder X many people to produce Y many future, better people, I have no objection to social sanctions such as prison for them. I'm loss averse, I'm not promiscuously maximizing people-goodness and this is a very natural, human reaction.

It's completely reasonable that we will spend far more resources defending the things, the people, the lives and even the pets we have, compared to the resources spent getting hypothetically different versions of these things. Part of it is one never knows if the hypothetical things will be as good and part of it is one never knows if the calculations we make actually will pan out.

And the "longtermists" often multiply together numbers together they have no basis for knowing in the first place (people in black wholes, people in galactic civilizations, etc) - they fail to conceive that some things more unknowable than probable or improbable and that in such situation loss aversion is especially reasonable - despite going against their

Counterpoint: my parents came to the US when I was a child and they have none of those things. Their family ties weren't strong enough to last. Their ties to family back home deteriorated. There is no diaspora of extended family in other cities. Their own relationship was toxic and abusive, and they divorced. They are now living out old age alienated, isolated, and alone. They're not rare, they're just not nearly as vocal as the "my big, fat Greek wedding"-type people.

I don’t like the Samsung inference either, but millions and millions of people don’t just like it, they prefer it. They buy the phones specifically because they know how to use it. They aren’t loyal to Android, they are loyal to the Galaxy line.

Given that I had lived there for 6+ months, they should in the very least have recognized me!

It wasn't like we had just moved in or anything.

We actually found that a lot of the renters there were more friendly than the owners, and over time we made friends with some of the neighbors, largely those who had moved in from overseas.

You're conflating electrons and electromagnetic radiation.

Also light doesn't act like electricity or water, it just bounces at the reflection angle. There is no volume or pressure. Also there is no such thing as a light 'particle'. That is an abstract concept to make simulation easier.
I can turn off all the UI trash. What I can't turn off is this stupid bug where it intermittently generates spurious keystrokes. I thought until recently that it was the trackpad on my laptop doing it but it happens with an external mouse and keyboard too. It's just intermittent enough that it's hard to pin down, while being frequent enough to be infuriating.

The worst part is that sometimes one of the meta keys will get 'stuck down' and I'll have to press them all until I find the one that's 'stuck'. A couple of times I've even had the right mouse button think it's being held down.
> Compute will also scale exponentially in coming years.

Cost per transistor scaling has already plateaued or perhaps even inverted with TSMC's latest and greatest.

And the new chips, even after 25 layers of EUV lithography, more than doubling the previous record, and an extra year of fine tuning, has total SRAM size scaling of -5% and logic scaling of -42%.

These are numbers verified by experienced semi people.

The Soviet Bloc is calling: after work, you would drop in to eat and drink with your friends; or your friends would drop by and eat and drink with you -- everyday.

Materially life sucked; but less shit to worry about, and you had the stuff that mattered: relationships. Couldn't get anywhere in that sort of world without them -- so everyone made an effort to cultivate friends, or atleast many acquaintances.

Now? You don't need friends -- you have money. Neither are you willing to suffer through another's perceived faults. Everyone is quick to turn others into persona non gratas because of silly things like political views, or a certain character quirk that drives the neurotic insane, or the way they dress, speak, or act.

Doesn't help that it starts at the familial level. If your family isn't large or your family hasn't made the effort to cultivate relationships, then you're less likely to be exposed to other people, and build your own from there. +1 to how most American families are tiny, and most aren't intimate with their extended family. No one knows how to get along with other people. Everyone has to be a perfect piece of furniture to be allowed a place in the dining room of one's life.

And who has the time? There's so much shit to do. Gotta spend all my free time building up my career. My neighbours? Why would I waste a perfectly good evening drinking and talking about life, when I could go to my company's happy hour to schmooze with my colleagues... or better yet: get a good night's rest so I can give my 100% to my company's: shareholders/c-suite/founders/whatever. My neighbours aren't gonna get me that promotion -- so fuck em.

Shit, my house needs renovations. I gotta bring my kids to piano recital. I gotta get a repair man for the washer. I gotta buy new clothes, because my old ones are starting to fall apart. I gotta bring my car for maintenance. I gotta watch entertainment because I'm so fucking exhausted from selling my mind for the privilege of being able to stay alive. Gotta set up a doctor's appointment because I got RSI in my hands. Gotta call up my insurance company because they denied another fucking claim.

Material prosperity is a pox on the human soul.
Especially since given the ultimate horrifying finiteness of both the material and time in the universe, the dream of truly unlimited breadsticks will forever be outside of our reach.
Thanks for providing this POV. Many of the responses here seem to think that density is a good thing. I feel the completely opposite way -> I need space. I need space away from my neighbors. I like not having other people park their cars next to my home. I like not hearing my neighbors have an argument or a party. I like not sharing the walls of my home with others. I like walking on a path by myself sometimes.

There might be folks that like high density living, but please understand that there are others that prefer the opposite. It might be due to personality type or stage of life but there is no one size fits all.
> please stop using the phrase unborn child

When my wife was pregnant with our son, both of us absolutely saw him as our "unborn child". I used to lie next to her and sing to him inside her belly, and she told me she could feel him move in response. Same thing when she was pregnant with our daughter. I find your idea that there's something wrong with using the phrase "unborn child" really bizarre.

> By that definition, every miscarriage should have a funeral and proper burial of the remains - and whatever went down a drain should be recovered with the help of law enforcement and first responders.

My wife miscarried several times. Every time was upsetting for both of us, although (quite understandably) significantly more so for her. I know a number of other couples (both friends and family) who have had similar experiences. The way you talk about that issue evinces a lack of empathy for other people's traumas
Just business as usual, nothing wrong targeting AWS enterprise customers on their offerings, looking forward to extend on Azure Marketplace, if they dare and should.
The ending of the article this one links to (The Day Windows Died) perfectly sums up my view of modern Windows.

I've been using Linux (Fedora) for a few years now, and occasionally I do look back to Windows. I have my issues my linux (for the record, macos fixes a lot of them but introduces entirely new issues), and maybe with a debloater and some tinkering, I could fix my initial problems with Windows. But as the article says, even if I can fix them, my biggest issue of all is how little I can trust the operating system. My issues with linux and macos aren't issues of trust really, they're just annoyances or things I don't like. My biggest issue with Windows is that I fundamentally don't trust it.

Its a shame as well, because to me Windows used to be a middle ground between the "do it yourself" nature of Linux and the "do it our way" nature of MacOS. I don't even know what it is now, but I don't like it.
Friends? I thought this was a message board for tech entrepreneurs busy hanging out with supermodels.
Stupid question but why not above roadways?

There are already light fixtures and usually power lines going around there. It would block some sun from the black road and that's also a good thing. Sending a maintenance vehicle would be easy as it would be accessible.

The only downsides I can see are:

* It needs to be tall enough so trucks won't hit it. So that might make it more expensive.
* It might be stretched over a long distance creating logistic problems with the delivery and efficiencies.

Is there anything basic that I'm missing here?

To be honest, Windows really should just rebase on to Linux. They can make their programs work on linux. But the OS isn't the future for Microsoft when it comes to profits. Their future is software and tooling. I don't follow MS's financials, but I bet their growth with Azure and Linux is far outpacing Windows license keys. I believe they have already indicated that Ubuntu is far more popular than their own server OS. The current and future cash cow is Microsoft making money off developer tooling/infrastructure and their apps.

And honestly, Microsoft isn't doing too bad at tooling. Had you told me 3 years ago I would be developing .NET applications, mostly ASP.Core, on linux, I woulda said you were stoned. But here I am today, cranking out .NET code that runs servers on Linux. And the tooling is pretty good and is just getting better.

I took a shirt-term job a few years back and tried giving Windows a go after many many years absence.

Never again. Wow. It’s stagnated in many respects and its leading innovations are, sadly, hostile to users. I was very surprised.
I think that this kind of self-hatred is a much greater threat to humanity than a falling birth rate. We properly fear the danger of non-aligned artificial intelligence but the more immediate danger is non-aligned human intelligence. As human knowledge and power grows, of the workings of the atom and the cell in particular, the means to destroy ourselves becomes more attainable, ever more with reach of people like the above who either don't value, or negatively value human life.

For shorthand, I'm more afraid of 12 Monkeys (1995) than Children of Men (2006).
Sure, so we tax carbon and throw the proceeds into R&D on CCS, carbon free energy, replacements for things like concrete etc.

You can whack a "millionaire" tag on it, but the fundamental fact is that people decide to work 40, 60 and higher hour weeks just to have a bigger house or car.

That speaks to the fact that we are hard wired to compete with each other in that way. You just have to make the competition harder across the board.
I think you’re being sarcastic. But yes.
Oh man. This brings back memories. I spent a few weeks every summer for 20 years about a mile south of the plant. Before 9/11 you could go down by the warm water discharge, plop down a beach chair and hang out in the 100 degree water. The guards would give you dirty looks but they never bothered anybody.

I don’t know that this plant should be restarted though. They were trying to bury the spent fuel in the sand dunes next door at one point because they were out of space.

Even more recently (10 years ago?) I could see outdoor cement casks for storing the spent fuel.

Nuclear could be great, bit the spent fuel issue, NIMBY problems and insane costs will probably close the door on nuclear energy unfortunately.

If that's your opinion, you have _severely_ misunderstood Meta's endgame. As I see it, these open releases create two types of goodwill for Meta:

1. First is among the general populace, where Meta AI can be an "open" alternative to OpenAI. This helps launder the name of Meta away from all the metaverse shenanigans into something people can appreciate.

2. Second is among the academic or industry researchers that Meta may hire down the line. The association of Facebook has always made talent search hard for Meta. That can change if Meta is the "cool" place to go work.

Building a goodwill amongst the small sliver of the population who are technically competent enough to use these models but also motivated enough to create competing businesses is a non- or even anti-goal for Meta. Really, one of the worst things for them would be for Google er al to put zero effort and just being able to copy paste this work. In this case, the CC-BY-NC is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

> It certainly does not intrinsically do so; this was absolutely not my experience growing up in suburbia,

None of my suburban friends report knowing their neighbors.

OK, so, in Seattle, I can walk to 3 different, large, parks. In the morning, I can choose which of the 2 local bakeries I want to walk to if I want to buy some fresh bread.

No big surprise, with all that walking going on, you see the same people day after day, and eventually you say hi. You pet their dog, you talk about how gardening is going, you invite people over for board games outside on the patio in the summer.

Meanwhile my friends outside the city have to drive to their "local" park and drive to their "local" stores. They don't know their neighbors because their lives consist of house->car->destination.

And while they are driving, I've stopped to pick berries from the tree hanging out of my neighbors yard (he doesn't mind, he loses more berries than he could ever pick himself) on the way to the grocery store to pick up whatever I need to cook for dinner that night.

Don't get me wrong, I spent over a dozen years living in Seattle's suburbs, there are advantages (40MPH speed limits! Get everywhere fast! The police are legit super nice to you if your driver's license has a local address on it!), but I feel more connected to people in the city.
They use SpeedSmart.net as their suggested Speedtest software, which is available on iOS, Android, and now also on the web. Interestingly, SpeedSmart includes both "ping" tests for latency to popular sites, as well as bandwidth testing. And you can set up automated testing to occur every so often, for a number of times.

Interesting.
> Anyone who has kids and sometimes wants a break.

But that does not require living in the same house. Having grandparents a few doors down (my preference) or a few minutes away is good enough for this purpose. Living under the same roof involves a ton more tradeoffs.
Not in rural areas. Maybe for suburbs. At least in SF ppl Uber a fair bit, but I suspect most trips on a night out are not replacing someone driving their own car.
Last I checked, cheese was allowed in vacuum-sealed packaging. Meat, fruit and vegetables are what's not allowed. Those you just have to eat before you go through customs after arriving in the US.
The city centers in the areas you mentioned are definitely off my list as well for the same reason. There are nice suburbs in those areas but there goes the "walkable city" aspect.
