Yes but a peg alone doesn't mean that one currency can be on the way out. For example the pound was famously pegged right up until the day it wasn't: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/george-soros-ban...

The relative strength of the two economies is really what matters, and sanctions + tariffs are a double-edged sword, the deeper you impale other countries, the deeper you impale yourself.
The reason it's hard to talk about in isolation and without assuming stereotype personas is because it's truly complex.

Part of why Americans travel 20 miles per day is because highways make things "close" in terms of minutes, and because they take up so much space, large roadways can make proximal (distance) things further. Eg if you have to walk 1 mile down a highway to a pedestrian bridge to get to the part that is just across 8 lanes, a 1 minute walk becomes a 40 minute walk.

Additionally these roadways rarely are kid safe for things like bicycles.

Additionally social stratification and division has made it (seemingly?) less for those kids to travel alone.

Additionally 100 other points.

I really do think when people choose to drive they're expressing their best known solution to a wide variety of non transportation issues and because they choose it it feeds back on itself democratically and design wise (Design for cars because people choose cars, people choose cars because of the solutions to design for cars)
Ha, I got a 1440p display on desktop in 2019.
Win10 is EOL, Win11 has been out for a few years now, already used by major corporations. For engineers, WSL2 is actively being pushed by nvidia and other companies as the standard for LINUX development.

I waited until he was stable enough, other than the taskbar which is easy to fix via a 3rd party program, most of my issues are fixed. WSL2+Windows+MS Code integration is amazing.
A diminished 7th above F is B, not B flat. Also a 7th chord is understood to be a triad plus the 7th (and therefore the diminished 5th above the F is also missing). Unless I'm missing something it did indeed produce a wrong answer.

I don’t know about privacy, but the lockout risk doesn’t seem worse than losing your phone or Yubikey. You should have multiple independent ways to log in for any account you care about. Passkey will be one way.

Possibly two ways, if you have both Android and iOS devices and you register both? (I assume Android and iOS remain independent.)
> Is this a typo? Do you mean seconds?

It's not a typo. It's also not a particular machine. It's all of my machines.

It's why I stopped using Firefox. It wasn't always like that -- pre-quantum, Firefox was reasonably performant. And post-quantum it was as well (although I never saw the performance gains others reported). I don't remember which release this started happening in, but it was a couple of years ago.

Just to forestall advice -- every time I've mentioned this, people have engaged with me to make sure it's not the usual issues (have I completely erased FF and installed it fresh, am I using extensions, etc.). And many think I'm lying.

But this is my actual experience with Firefox. I was willing to stick with using it on principle despite the fact that post-quantum firefox does a poor job if meeting my browser needs, but I couldn't. It's essentially unusable for me.
Apple does plenty of dark patterns. You are locked into their store, they decide what programs you can run on your phone, they decide what browser you can use, all the other browsers are actually just skinned safari.
> There are places that require you to have a parking spot for your car before you are allowed to register the car. There are no free parking spots, you park on your property or rent a spot from someone else.

That's addressed in the article. In the long run, these laws result in overproduction of parking spaces, driving down density, driving up car utilization, and accelerating (sub)urban sprawl.

> I'm not a fan of externalities, so this makes sense to me, especially in an urban area where public transportation is available.

A better approach is to provide public transportation and make car owners actually pay for parking spots (currently, street parking is completely free in NYC).
Yes. I had to turn off numerous annoyances but it works fine.

Calendrical idiosyncracies make far more sense when you realise that:

1. They refer to three distinct and largely independent phenomena: the rotation of the Earth about its axis (day, and subdivisions hours, minutes, and seconds), the orbit of the Moon around Earth (month, with caveats), and the orbit of Earth around the Sun (year). The fact that there is a rough days-based approximation of each is coincidental. Consider that on some planets there is no clear definition of a day (e.g., gas giants with no observable solid ground), or fixed rotational period (the duration of Venus's "day" apparently varies considerably under the influence of winds, and even Earth's day changes measurably due to tidal influences and factors).

2. Collective agreement and tradition are a real bear. It took nearly 500 years for the Gregorian Calendar to be universally adopted --- Russia's "October Revolution" occurred in what most of Europe considered to be November, as Russia had not yet adopted the Gregorian Calendar first introduced in October 1582. And it wasn't even the last country to do so! China's adoption of the Gregorian Calendar occurred in the 1940s. Calendrical decimalisation has been attempted, particularly notably during the French Revolution (amongst the same reforms which brought us the Metric System), as well as in the USSR. Switching to a ten-day week was exceedingly difficult given a) the traditions of seven-day cycles, particularly in religious contexts, as well as an external world based on the seven-day week.

A great book exploring the history of the (mostly) universally-adopted Gregorian system is Eviatar Zerubavel's Seven Day Circle: <https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1962761W/The_seven_day_circl...>
Yeah, it's not doing anything for me either

How do you do account recovery if you run a service using passkeys?

1. email-based "reset passkey" flow -- only as secure as the email it's sent to, and you need to make sure the email is still valid since the user isn't using it regularly as part of their auth.

2. multi-factor "reset passkey" flow -- you have to make sure the user has kept multiple factors (eg backup codes) which they're mostly not using.

Is there something better? Anyone have a good resource?
Is Godot production ready? I'm always intrigued by it but it always feels much more like a startup vs the polished Unreal engine.
title is missing: "trained in 1 week, and like most open source LLMs so far... it sucks compared to the closed source alternatives"

Great effort of course bla bla bla...

Open source really needs some benchmarking, and up their game quality-wise.

And yes I know they're expensive as shit to train... let's not keep wasting our money and actually work together, pool our resources, to make a GOOD model.

But oh no, everyone wants to put their stamp on it. "Replit did this! Look at us!"
Interestingly, I have seen this in carbonated water. I had a stable bubble chain coming off just a single point of a freshly made SodaStream bottle. It was so unusual I videoed it on my phone. Not sure what caused the nucleation point or why there was a stable bubble chain coming off it, but there it was.

But this should never happen, these is no reason to create an unusable instance. The real instance should be resolved in the same way however the current workflow resolves it.
> There is a much better solution but it requires investment. This is what we have in Switzerland in the city's where there is zero room for garbage.

This would be a nonstarter in NYC, because large parts of the city are unmapped underground (because they were built in an era when records weren't kept methodically). Digging is expensive because you don't actually have a centralized record of where gas lines, water mains, cables, etc. all are - you have to uncover it carefully, see what's there, and then work around it.

> The cost here is around 50k to 150k depending on size and if there is a compactor also built in. No smell and no mess.

Everything costs much more in NYC, even before you factor in the aforementioned issues.
These are explanations that make sense to people who already know how deep learning works but don't really explain much to beginners beyond giving them a grossly oversimplified misrepresentation of what is being discussed (while not actually explaining anything).

My advice to folks is, if you actually want to know how this stuff works at some basic level, put in some time learning how basic linear and logistic regression work, including how to train it using back propagation. From there you'll have a solid foundation that gives enough context to understand most deep learning concepts at a high level.
The browsers have been very good incorporating ideas from the community into the browser, and strengthening the standards every time. Things started getting really good with ES6, HTML5 and CSS3, and when IE went entirely away, and most browsers are evergreen, it's actually a much different universe now.

Apart from being pleasant and fast to work with, the benefit of coding without a build step is to the community, as it allows us to learn from each other's code, as in the early days.

> ideally the federal government would not have an opinion on what citizens use electricity for, only that the externalities of power generation are priced in.

Only if you take the stance that energy generation and use sure be governed by pure free market economics, which never works out in the real world. Natural resources are limited. Mining/drilling has environmental impacts. People need energy to survive. It makes a lot more sense to go the opposite direction – treat it as a public good (which it is) and regulate usage. Otherwise you will end up in the inevitable reality where there is a large bitcoin mine in town printing cash for its owners and no one living around it can afford to heat their houses.

> Nobody drives in NYC, there's too much traffic

That joke doesn't work because the people who drive in NYC are by and large not NYC residents.

Depends on your definition of "plenty". NYC is the only city in the country where the majority of residents do not own a car.
Looks interesting. So used to coming across things like this, and then in section N of the documentation is the first time the developer bothers to mention that it’s React-only. A breath of fresh air that this looks genuinely framework-independent.

For what it’s worth, the scroll stuff this whole thread is complaining about doesn’t bother me at all (on mobile). Feels like quite reasonable use of scroll snapping. It’s native, so your platform is providing the implementation.
It’s more than that - banks used to have prepayment penalties. People with high credit scores are (probably?) also more likely to move, which means the bank may only get a couple years of interest until you pay it back (when you sell to buy a new house with a new mortgage), vs. people who stay in their house for many years. These things mean that someone with a lower score may be a better investment for the bank.

If it sounds ridiculous… imagine that every month, all the mutual funds you are invested in shut down and gave you your money back (with interest), and you had to choose from a whole new set. Some of you probably do this anyways, but most people prefer to make the choice once and then just let it grow.

KPMG audits more US banks than any other firm. This article is like saying that all dead people drank water before their demise.
Oh the honor system, we tried that with all the COVID money that we threw around and people bought Corvettes with it. This is just a terrible, unenforceable idea. Say they do get audited, how do you prove how much electricity they used to mine crypto? Unless that company wires a meter directly to the circuit that powers their mining rigs, it will be a total guess.
One variable many people don’t consider is that Microsoft gives organizations an incredible amount of control over application behavior when trying to maintain a through line for rights protection of organizational data. Like not allowing organizational data to be opened in apps that aren’t approved, authenticated with user creds, and supportive of rights management (no printing, no saving, etc.).

I’m not saying that’s what’s happening with GP’s experience with Teams, but just pointing out that when thinking about MS app behavior on any platform, it’s a variable that can be present in the corporate context which many “users” remain blissfully unaware of, or see it manifest as these weird rules and behaviors and not acting like other apps. But there can be an entirely different set of user stories at play beneath the surface.
> You can't work on your own place, you have to employ someone to do that

Part of this is the taxation and GDP-ification of everything.

(not saying go back) for example when we traded housewives for house cleaners + hello fresh + fiverr assistants we got a double whammy of GDP growth (+ for the wife going to work, plus for the employees now doing her previously unaccounted work at a profit). And same story with IRS receivables. (again, not saying send women back home, just pointing out the accounting)
What you are talking about is metacognition, which these models are specifically built to not have. And it relies on the person you are talking to being an accurate reporter, which these models are not.

The model doesn't "intend" to multiply two numbers together: it has been equipped to parrot what a person asked to multiply two numbers together might say. If we asked it how it performs multiplication, it is going to produce a process it thinks a human would claim to use to perform multiplication, but that doesn't mean it can actually apply that process.

The claimed "emergent" property is that a model that can successfully fool humans into thinking they are talking to a person quasi-magically involves becoming "good" (for some measure of "good") at the cognitive tasks humans are capable of. This paper suggests that the measures of "goodness" researchers have been using make the gains on those cognitive tasks look more dramatic than they would be if measured via linear metrics.

I suspect some of the disconnect expressed in these comments here is based on the participatory nature of being lied to by these models. The reader is a full participant in creating meaning from the output of a model. Even when the improvement in models is linear, our willingness to suspend our disbelief is not. Especially when we want to be fooled: it has to avoid anything that would jar us out of our belief rather than proactively and repeatably succeed at cognitive tasks, and that is a non-linear measure.
I pay nothing for these services, have lived rent free for 3 years, purchase and pay off my credit cards to the tune of $2000 a month, and just bought a house hundreds of thousands over 500k with an interest rate 1.75% to 2% below what is shown on Google for the current rates for 30 year fixed rate. The lender credited me for all points. You don't need to waste 50 a month to make the bottom of the rate sheet. Just good negotiation skills and reasonable credit history.

Yeah, 'tabooing' the word intelligence could help correct hype, the problem is it could overcorrect: just because you decide to taboo the word, doesn't mean that current-or-future AI isn't "intelligent". Words don't have that power, unfortunately, to make a system "intelligent"--or not.
> I dont think you’ve ever been to an outer borough, have you?

While car ownership rates are higher in the outer boroughs, OP is objectively correct that car ownership in NYC skews towards the wealthy.

This is a common talking point among people who oppose congestion pricing by incorrectly claiming that it is a regressive tax. In reality, car ownership rates are positively correlated with income, public transit usage is negatively correlated with income.

The Paris MOU was such a success that many parts of the world have Port State Control (rather than Flag State) too now.

If your ship flying Country X's flag docks in Europe then under the Paris MOU your flag decides how likely you are to get inspected by local authorities. Does Country X do a great job? Then inspections will be rare and you've nothing to worry about. Not so much? Expect to spend far more of your visits being inspected and if you don't obey inspection rules under the Port State rules too bad, their port, their laws apply, if you don't like it stop coming to Europe. If Country X don't like it, and I promise they don't give a shit once you paid the registration fee, they can take it up with Europe and see how far that gets them.

What most struck me from this article was this 'graph near the end:

Should GJ 486 b have a thin atmosphere or no atmosphere at all then the hottest region of its dayside should be directly under the red dwarf star. If this hottest point is offset, however, this could indicate the presence of an atmosphere that is thick enough to circulate heat.

Given that GJ 486 b is one-third the size of Earth, and orbits its star at one half of one percent the distance from Earth to the Sun, we can resolve where thermal intensity is highest on the planetary surface at a distance of 26 light years and despite the nearness of the star itself ... is pretty mind-blowing.
