Have you priced housing in middle of nowhere lately? I would be more then happy to live an hour off the interstate and have a couple acres of trees for neighbors. No problems with maintaining a well, having a septic system, and a propane tank. Doesn’t bother me that DoorDash doesn’t come there, StarBucks is a trip, and Amazon doesn’t do next day delivery. Houses like that now start around $350k and go straight to the moon. Most of them were purchased in the last 2-3 years and the sellers are trying flip them at 2-6x the price having made no improvements at all. The purchase history is public record and very telling.

At some point the banks should step in and say hey, there is no way this property is worth $300k, $600k, $900k - it will never sell at that price again, none of the local industries pay well enough to have a $7k per month mortgage payment, if the loan defaults we are going to take a bath. However the banks don’t do that, they just say California idiot has money to blow, give him the loan.

And of course the California idiot is going to have problems also when he wants to move in 2-7 years and finds out nobody can afford his house.
According to the article, people are annoyed by the low-quality and scummy content posted by the new wave of blue-checks. Previously, the blue-check system was used by Twitter to curate content. Now, it's a low bar to boost low-quality content. Whether or not you like the outcome of the old blue-check system, what we're seeing is a large number of highly-followed users who are revolted by the outcome of the new system; and there's evidence that their followers are participating in the blocking campaign. Because they want to see the people who were previously boosted instead of the low-quality content.

While investors may be paying for the infrastructure, it's the old blue-checks who were providing the value. The site needs both -- lose the infrastructure, you've got nothing; lose the value, lose the investors.
I don’t understand this logic or the wording.

Except in automotive we have options that taste like cookies with all the benefits of celery sticks: hatchbacks and wagons with great cargo capacity, ride quality, driving dynamics, and fuel efficiency. In America we go with the unhealthy cookie even though the healthy one tastes the same, because we don't want to look gay or poor

Land is effectively infinite. But it's a non-fungible ranked good. For something like real estate your entire lifestyle depends on your ranking, including ability to work. It's a community wide constant auction.

It is naturally a race to the bottom. As long as a community is getting wealthier, the competition will be more fierce.

You can develop more land as fast as possible. Unless you're lowering the ranking of the whole area, then again as the community develops competition will become more fierce.

How much does a home cost? $(however much the second buyer can maximally afford) + $1.

This isn’t an ask. It’s a general grievance.

I was there. Never saw screaming people dragged around. Did see tear gas, which isn’t nice. Not saying it didn’t happen, but it wasn’t common. Mostly, people were yelling at each other about stuff being stolen from their tents.

There’s probably a little too much going on with that project, including generating datasets for fine-tuning, which is the reason for comparing with a known answer.

It is very similar to the approach used by the Toolformer team.

But by teaching an agent to use a tool like Wikipedia or Duck Duck Go search it dramatically reduces factual errors, especially those related to exact numbers.

Here’s a more general overview of the approach:

good job on creating this! one thing i'd improve is to have a way to jump to the harder sections without doing the easy ones if you are already good at sql. one other thing is probably showing a sampling of the data so you know what's in the table column names and data formats without being "penalized" by doing a `select * from crew` initially to see the lay of the land. I do that when crafting real world queries all the time to get antiquated with it.
Given a choice between $200 for two years or $1,000 for ten years I would actually choose the disposable one because a ten-year-old laptop may become obsolete even if it's still working.
Manhattan is not the world. Also downtown/midtown were the center of New York before skyscrapers.
For us we did the main only pre commit thing and also a CI check that any MR marked as ready for review has to pass linting.

The "give or take" caveat was intended to cover different terms for different zones. 99 year leases might make sense to incentivize green-field development, 45 years might make sense for heavy infrastructure (going by depreciation rules), and 30 years is calibrated more towards families. Lower durations could be sold as extenders or to synchronize move-outs in place of eminent domain.

The exponential decay of net-present-value calculations means that time horizons do not have to be infinite to encourage investment. Making them infinite doesn't even help very much at all. When you compare this against the dramatically higher capital requirements of the perpetual ownership model, it actually has very little to offer. Except ensuring that rich people can get paid for being rich, of course, which one starts to suspect is the actual purpose.

I want leases, but I'd settle for LVT.

You know what “greedy corporations” would really hate? More housing being built that reduces the value of the assets they already own.
You're just sampling from an already sampled distribution.

This is not the same thing. There will still be value for fine tuning, but it's no substitute.

Good, I say. People are motivated by incentives, and if you reward unsound business practices there will be more of the same. It's refreshing to see China not repeating the mistakes that the overfinancialized US are making. If you bail out unsound banks there will be more unsound banking.

In a circular ecosystem that sustained that population. Any co2e they produced would be offset by natural processes (and in some cases they would store co2). They moved over almost all of the US and a large chunk of Canada in a system that had evolved to accommodate them.

It is not comparable to the current system with domesticated animals at all.
I think a more interesting problem to consider after solving n^m = m^n is solving n^m = m^n + 1 in the natural numbers.
> I don't think it is unreasonable to claim that there exist feedback loops +ve or -ve in a neighborhood between the price of new housing being built

Per the article:

> The alternative to induced demand is called “filtering” — or as I like to call it, the “yuppie fishtank theory”.[1] Basically, this says that when you build a big glass tower full of nice new apartments, it draws high-earning people away from working-class neigborhoods. Yuppies would probably rather go live in a nice new tower with other yuppies than go around bidding up the price of 40-year-old apartments in working-class neighborhoods. So if you build those “luxury” apartments, they’ll draw the yuppies away and stop them from pricing out the working class.

The article [1] in question:

> In 2018, I wrote a post[2] about why building market-rate housing in gentrifying cities helps relieve rent pressure on long-time working-class residents. I dubbed this kind of housing “yuppie fishtanks”, and I tried to explain why they help without resorting to the theory of supply and demand. Later, someone made a TikTok video about the concept. Anyway, with people moving back to the big cities after Covid, and housing construction still lagging, I thought it would be a good time to re-up my original post.

Going back to this article, increasing housing stock in general is generally good:

> What you should notice here is that Gopal and Clark only briefly mention the “growing body of research” that supports the filtering effect, choosing only to specifically name the 2019 paper by Asquith et al. They do not mention Li (2019), who finds that “for every 10% increase in the housing stock, rents decrease 1% and sales prices also decrease within 500 feet.”
To elaborate; downtown and midtown are the two transport nexuses in New York City where most if not all suburban labor markets are easy to access, and employers want to have their pick of employees.

NYC is an archipelago separated by large bodies of water, and it is hard to avoid going through Manhattan to go between the western suburbs, the northern suburbs/Bronx, and the eastern suburbs/Brooklyn/Queens. What few links exist are always horribly congested.

One strategy I've considered:

Write Postgres in a way that's fully compatible with CockroachDB, with the intention of transitioning to CockroachDB if needed.

Basically: 1. BIGINT or UUID or TEXT or composite Primary Keys only. 2. Limited use of sequential indexes. (Ex: timestamp. Not the end if the world but creates hotspot, will require a hash sharded index) 3. Avoid advanced features such as stored procedures. 4. Avoid or very light use of foreign keys. (Performance)

Going straight to CockroachDB seems logical as well, but you'll hit the performance wall much sooner on 1-2 servers, and will require a cluster to match it.
Many local municipalities actually require the developer to include a new HOA as part of the permitting process for new development.

This is because small local governments are often too cash poor to foot the additional road maintenance, utilities, etc so they want to offload the cost to the developers/ the developers customers.

In many places, the HOA is the only entity that will do anything about bad neighbors like a dog that barks 24/7 or someone playing music all night—things that don't necessarily break city law but do affect your life, or things that do break city law but the city won't bother enforcing.

It all comes down to luck of the draw.

Those are so vague as to be meaningless, and so sweeping as to be quixotic. Protests always fail when there is not a clear and attainable path to success. This is something successful movements understand, and unsuccessful ones don't.

Yes, there's lots of folks doing this and currently it looks like combining results from an LLM based index and a standard text retrieval indexes (e.g. using BM25) may beat either alone.

These companies are never just one person's money, even if they're a billionaire. He went to investors, institutional, and so on, and he did also put money himself, but its mixed funding. And when it was on the verge of bankruptcy, their 4th attempt at self-landing rockets (after 3 failures) showed some promise, so NASA saved them financially by awarding them with a $1.6 billion contract.

Facebook runs servers a lot different than a home oriented distro is likely to be run. I was there through aquisition from late 2014 to late 2019, and I mostly avoided production operations in FB land.

I don't remember hearing about any power failures --- either UPS and transfer switches all worked 100%, node replacement covered any issues 100%, or I just wasn't in the loop. This isn't common at home; most people have at least a few brief power blips every once in a while, and those with many often get a UPS, but home grade UPSes often fail. I'd expect at least one unexpected power failure per 3 years in a home environment.

Most of FB production is built from ephemeral containers. If a container host crashes and restarts and the filesystem is corrupt, the container would be rescheduled somewhere else, and the host would be sent for repair (reimaging) automagically, and a product team like mine would not really know unless they really looked, maybe just that the container moved. That's not realistic for home users.

The containers themselves were short lived for many reasons. I'd estimate most of them lived for less than a month. A home user distro install often lasts much longer.

That said, I don't remember seeing disk corruption, but I do remember a series of issues where we couldn't write to disk because it was full, with disk usage of maybe 60%. As I recall, there was only one couple week period where that happened. This was resolved in the moment by replacing affected containers with new ones on other hosts, and permanently by a fix in the host kernels; broken filesystems were not fixed, they were abandoned. This isn't great for home users either.

There was a separate class of operations for persistent data storage; although there was work to containerize that as well, I had little visibility. Persistent storage machines were different and I don't know if they used btrfs or not.

This all doesn't mean it's not a good filesystem for home users, just that Facebook's endorsement doesn't transfer as the use case is much different.
If you want more "affordable housing" build more housing in general:

> Now, if you cornered Gopal and Clark — or the “small group of academics” they cite — you could probably get them to admit that if we built 10 market-rate (“luxury”) apartments for every resident of Austin, most of them wouldn’t get filled, and landlords would be forced to slash prices, and regular folks would have cheap apartments to live in. An apartment’s price is not built into its walls and floors; “luxury” is just a marketing buzzword, and most of the apartments that are affordable today went for market rate when they were built.

More housing in general is generally good:

> What you should notice here is that Gopal and Clark only briefly mention the “growing body of research” that supports the filtering effect, choosing only to specifically name the 2019 paper by Asquith et al. They do not mention Li (2019), who finds that “for every 10% increase in the housing stock, rents decrease 1% and sales prices also decrease within 500 feet.”

Want rents to decrease? Have vacancy rate of 10%. Renters can jump ship at any point and have an option available, which will incentivize landlords to not be assholes.

If vacancy rates are ~0%, then landlords can do whatever they want, and renters have to to take it.

It's not only about domestic security, it's about how it devalues the meaning of Apple's privacy worldwide.

> I don’t see why Apple should not fulfill it.

Your phone shouldn't have a backdoor in the first place. Letting Apple have this much vertical authority over their platform is why we're here now, trying to decide if America's largest corporation is right for sleeping with the enemy. It's obviously wrong (as you note), but we're also helpless to resist it (as you also note). The best path of recourse is legislation that dilutes Apple's absolute authority and forces them to play ball with the industry. It's attractive to legislators, regulators, and the common people.
Purely.
I feel rationals is probably the easiest case to prove, still clever though! Interesting (though not surprising) how there's a countably infinite number of rationals that satisfy this.
There are no amino acids only found in meat. B12 is mostly only found in animal products, but some fungi have it.

As to metabolic equivalency, that is a very good question, studies so far indicate the accessibility of amino acids in plants to the human metabolic pathways varies within our species somewhat widely.
> Mandate that developers build >50% affordable housing. Earmark this housing for first time buyers only.

This is a trap. It sounds good on paper. In practice, every bureaucratic busybody wants to define affordability to deliver to their constituents. This dramatically raises construction costs. It’s a current cost adjuvant in New York and San Francisco.

A simple first-time homebuyer (or single homeowner) requirement should suffice in segregating the market.
