> It would create some incentive for property owners to invest and rent out buildings, or otherwise sell them cheaply.

Property is property, you should be free to do what you want with them. Otherwise it's not property. It's like saying "you have a car, you need to use it everyday, otherwise we can justify people borrowing your car when they need one".

Also, rent controls, aren't they a thing in some parts of Germany like Berlin? That's what leads to poor usage of apartments, because if you own several places and the rent imposed by the authorities is too low for you to turn a profit, then it's not worth renting either.
Isn't that anthropomorphic too? It's humans doing guessing, not objects.
That setting doesn’t affect what I’m saying. I want to disable Google Prompt as it’s insecure for my threat model. All “skip password when possible” does is give you the option to use a passkey to login without a password, it doesn’t prevent an attacker from using a password + Google Prompt to login, bypassing the need for any of the configured 2FA security keys or passkeys.
I want Europe to succeed and that's why I'm staying here, but I have to agree that the racism situation in France is really bad. It's the main reason I won't work for a company here.
Pardon my French, but complete and utter nonsense.

> Michael Griffin. Griffin later estimated that SpaceX was around 85% funded by the federal government, mostly through his NASA awards, with the remaining 15% funding split between Elon Musk and other private investors. He felt the amount of government funding was "excessive in his view" compared with what he originally envisioned for the commercial space program.

From SpaceX's Wikipedia page. The Falcon 1 which was expandable, nothing special and cost ~$100 million was privately funded, the rest relied on very generous subsidies. (Regardless of Musk's posturing and outright lies)

On the contrary, outlandish and expensive (like aerospace) moonshot bets with uncertain financial benefits often happen due to government help, even in times of "unlimited money" which are far from the norm. For starters, Tesla and SpaceX both only happened due to US government subsidies; Airbus, the by far best civilian airplane manufacturer today, only exists because of European government pressure and funding. Bombardier only managed to design the C-series with Canadian government funds. All recent developments in renewables were off the back of massive subsidies for their adoption.
Scored by Levenenshtein distance, that is still fourth-highest.
Very cool. Out of curiosity, for the retries why are the errors appended as system messages as opposed to appending to the user message? And in either case, would it help to prepend the error with something like “Be sure to avoid outputting something that would cause this error:”?

Thats kind of why homelessness exists in the first place though, and is getting worse.

Providing enough housing to eliminate housing would bring rents down. That's bad for profits.

Taking away the fear of homelessness gives low end workers more negotiating muscle. This means hence higher wages and less incentive to work as hard. Again, really bad for profits.

This is why western governments feign the willingness to do something about it by half heartedly attacking the symptoms (e.g. drugs) rather than fixing the actual cause (lack of homes).

It's also why the media fights so hard to misrepresent the causality between drugs and homelessness.

You will inevitably need storage capacity of weeks or even months. Especially with regards to seasonal energy shifts (e.g. solar power generated in the summer but used for heating in the winter). There is no prospect of batteries pulling that off. You will need hydrogen for that. Batteries will ultimately just end up being for daily buffers of energy, and probably nothing beyond that once you realize the necessity of hydrogen.

"The value of owning the ecosystem cannot be overstated. Google itself has successfully used this paradigm in its open source offerings, like Chrome and Android. By owning the platform where innovation happens, Google cements itself as a thought leader and direction-setter, earning the ability to shape the narrative on ideas that are larger than itself."

This is breathtakingly sick. This kind of thinking is the poison of the world. This is why we have huge monopolies, huge wealth inequality, huge strangle on innovation.
> The myth is that Germany replaced nuclear with coal. This myth is false, and obviously false.

Starting point: nuclear + coal

Option 1: nuclear + renewables

Option 2 (selected): coal + renewables

While this is true, that yes, Germany didn't replace nuclear with coal directly, the delta between option 1 and 2 (which was the choice made) is (-nuclear, +coal).
> The next part is that someone posted about it on this https://chaos.social Mastodon instance, which got overwhelmed, the owners decided to save their server by electing to return a 429 response for that specific post if users don't belong to chaos.social, and that is why people are upset about Mastodon.

It's like all these newfangled webapps don't understand the concept of caching static pages for anonymous users. There is absolutely no reason that something like this should result in more than one request (plus a handful more for static resources) handled entirely by the frontent webserver's in-memory cache for each person linked from other sides. But instead its all dynamic and the page shoots off more API requests before being able to show anything.

The vast majority of people building LM apps with (or without) LangChain are using OpenAI.

I sincerely hope local LM tech like Galpaca (or vicuna/koala/etc) succeed but I don't understand why we are collectively pretending they are currently anywhere near gpt-3.5-turbo both in terms of speed and quality. Honestly the local models feel more like first generation BERT/GPT-1 models that have been fine-tuned for QA using RLHF.

How about this:

( x ) / b / a

It could be part of:

var x = (x) / b / a;

Or

if (x) /b/a.test(z)

X could be an arbitrary complex expression. Looking at one preceding token is not enough to disambiguate the slash.

I suspect the only real solution is to intertwine lexing and parsing, so the parser asks for the next token with a flag indicating context. But this constrains what parsing algorithm can be used.
It took only 3 guesses for ChatGPT to get close to the correct answer. Google was hopeless.

-- I believe the correct translation for "sissimajoite" from Finnish to English is "guerrilla camouflage". "Sissi" means "guerrilla" or "insurgent", and "majoite" refers to "camouflage" or "camouflaging".
An extension of C) is that this not only applies to open source. I was in a startup where the new employees decided to throw away working stable services to write their own version and they wasted a lot of time for little benefit. In the meantime the startup failed to deliver the necessary NEW functionality and we lost a lot of potential customers and sales people who were tired of waiting.

Working with other people's code is one of the most valuable skills. Be willing to live with existing code for a while and understand why it was implemented that way. Only then can you know what you should change.
It looks a bit comical how Twitter rivals are doing based on this:

-Post points out mistake in BlueSky's tech kind of comparable to "rolling one's own crypto" in concept (not as dangerous but not the kind of mistake one wouldn't expect that profile of an outfit to make)
-Post is inaccessible because it's on mastodon and that specific mastodon instance seems borkd for whatever reason

All after lots of rage about twitter's tech being fragile in the sphere and probably going down any time soon as they fired most of their staff - but it's chugging along fine
You know that billionaires don‘t have salaries in the billions of dollars, right? They are largely paid in stocks, which are not taxed until sold. And you know they don‘t sell them if they can avoid it, because they don‘t want to pay high taxes?
Latitude. Gibraltar is on the same latitude as North Carolina. Most of the suitable locations are in French Guayana, where the ESA launch site actually happens to be located.
> Don't let it respond in true/false. Instead, ask it for a short sentence explaining whether it is true or false. Afterwards, use a small embedding model such as sbert to extract true/false from the sentence. We've found that GPT is able to reason better in this case, and it is much more robust.

Have you tried just getting it to do both? It reasons far better given some space to think, so I often have it explain things first then give the answer. You're effectively then using gpt for the extraction too.

This hugely improved the class hierarchies it was creating for me, significantly improving the reuse of classes and using better classes for fields too.
"Massively funded by billionaires" in this case means that the spoils of this research will be privately owned, yes. But the taxpayer is still paying for about 80% of each rocket that explodes. SpaceX's true innovation is in achieving massive subsidies on collecting this data.

That's no longer true, pretty much any big car manufacturer outside of Toyota has caught up. Not only that, they provide much wider variety of vehicles (from the Renault Zoe and Dacia Spring all the way to massive pickups like the Ford F-150 Lightning).
> Europe is absolutely at the cutting edge of technology.

Cutting edge of technology is industry creating or industry changing technologies. The US has dominated these since the 80s, but arguably even before that with railways, and after all the atom bomb was invented by immigrants in the US.

The web, social media, smartphones.

And now space industries and generative AI.

And why is this?

Lots of network effects, but also places like the EU have it completely backwards in terms of policy. Policy doesn’t create innovation. It might support it, but real innovation comes from freedom and letting innovative people roam free. The US government is doing it best to stop this but still hasn’t managed it luckily.

I just don’t see how europe is at the cutting edge of anything, any companies they lead their field are downstream of leading US industries.

I don’t know if it’s possible to recreate what the US does. Probably not. But what EU bureaucrats try and do basically fails every time.
Central moderation is a deeply flawed model, that always ends in everyone being unhappy with a platform.

When was the last time we said the Internet Protocol, routers and hubs worldwide, need "sex workers and black groups". Sounds like nonsense, because it's just a platform, a technology.

Well this is how social networks must also be. And a social network should allow multiple communities to form and each community to moderate itself. There's no other viable way I can think of.

The platform should only be invoked for dire circumstances when the platform integrity is being violated itself.

I clicked around, read the FAQ and skimmed some videos, but I could find no description, nor images of the actual game. The best I could find was in a 2hr episode numbered in the 600's, about 20 wireframe boxes being moved around.

Is there any description of the game you're going to invest all this time to build?

And, if those wireframe boxes really are the result of 1200 hrs of coding - count me out.
Java is very much what you make of it. Spring Boot tends to pull in everything and the kitchen sink, and the atrocious build and start times are a fairly logical consequence.

Vanilla Java can be very quick to start and build, especially if you do incremental builds.

In my search engine project which is ~50kloc I have incremental builds that can be as fast as 1-2 seconds including running all pertinent tests[1], and the start time for the stuff that doesn't like populate an 12 Gb hashmap in memory upon start-up is also single digit seconds.

[1] A clean rebuild is 37 seconds; 108 seconds with a full suite of tests. That's fairly tolerable IMO. I've horror stories of Java builds that have had compile times anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes.
Python, Lisp and Javascript don't require functions with side effects to be declared in a particular way. Haskell does.
You don't _need_ to hash anything.

The simplest way to do it, is to convert all the words to (normal_form, orig_word) pairs, write the list to a file, then sort it.

It will be trivial to find the words with common normal form after the sort.

(Of course, you wouldn't catch me trying to implement that with C if perl is an option...)
A subsidy is not the same thing as NASA ordering private contracts for actual “products”

Spacex didn’t get money handed to them (unlike the corn and oil industries).
It got orders to complete certain tasks that NASA thought it might do better than itself.
Boeing and many others got these types of orders too. It explains nothing about why spacex succeeded.

This “Elon did spacex thanks to government” is a serious misrepresentation of what happened, and if it was true, why is the government funded EU space program struggling so much?
The front end of compilers gets a lot of attention because the problem looks complex, but is easy in practice, which is why there are a large number of materials trying to teach the topic.

On that note, what resources would you suggest to become familiar with the backends of a compiler? The CS classes I had mostly had a frontend focus with the backend only being covered at a high level and without delving too deep into the implementation details.

Too exploitable in two ways:

First failure mode is that the metric for two bills being “the same” will be too narrow, in which case the rule will be ineffective due to legislators playing with the punctuation or paragraph structure, or

Second failure mode is that the rule will be too broad and this becomes a weapon which would increase gridlock even further.

By providing parties and non-majority fringe groups within them the option to “damn bills by weak praise” into the future, legislators working adversarially could propose a bill they don’t want to pass, veto it, argue any successor bills are “the same bill”, and now, they’ve effectively enshrined the state of the issue for the next X years.
> I'd say (without evidence) that among those who are financially secure, the happiest people are probably those who are content and don't spend all their time wondering about how happy they are; the more you think about this topic the more you'll focus how you can be happier and just end up dissatisfied as a result. A mindset of optimizing for happiness will accidentally make you unhappy.

Fantastic point.

I'm not a memristor expert, but I am a professional cryptocurrency analyst.

First rule of any new crypto project: assume everything is a lie. Then ask, who are the founders, investors, and real users?

Through a cursory look I don't see any of this information. Then remember, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. They claim to have invented a software technique that can make an ordinary computer hundreds of times faster. OK, sure. And they decide to launch an anonymous cryptocurrency instead of publishing their research and claiming their Nobel prize - and you are on there ground floor!!

As a Bulgarian who lives and works in France, yes.

The world, overcrowded and jostling itself with all of its masculine calumnies....
This is such a weird take. The global high tech economy is tightly intertwined. The EU is an integral part of that, and in many areas is doing perfectly fine. Further European policymakers have for the last two decades done an overal excellent job integrating eastern Europe into the Western economic model. Of course first credit belongs to the states themselves, but the border between Germany and Poland used to be one of the largest GDP per Capita drops in the world. Now the difference is marginal. This has happened inside one generation. To accuse them of legislating only for already prosperous societies bears no resemblance to reality.

The Internet and digitalization revolution enabled a few US companies to capture vast amounts of value worldwide simply by being first by having access to the first emerging market for the new tech (and being ruthlessly business savvy). The US being rich and an optimistic consumption culture made that happen. Some of that windfall has been redirected to fun things like boosting Rocket tech, or useful things like boosting EV tech.

Speaking of the latter, I remember a few years ago a lot of people on here were claiming that the US and specifically Tesla had an unassailable lead in Battery Tech. That didn't exactly last long, did it?

But the idea that the US is uniquely poised to dominate the tech landscape for the next decades is silly, doubly so based on some relatively niche tech like rockets. As a European I am worried about the strategic tech competition with China, not the US. And I am worried that the EU is not doing enough to tax the profits being generated here, (cough, Ireland, Luxembourg...).

I think you're right regarding the link to spaced repetition. 2049 tries so hard to deliver long, drawn out, cinematic shots that often times are visually impressive but make it almost impossible to repeat a scene or reiterate on a plot point to make a more lasting impression.

Personally, I watched 2049 when it came out and did not remember much of it a year later but upon watching the first movie and 2049 back to back a while ago, I noticed that a lot more stuck with me this time.

The context of the first movie plus especially watching 2049 for a second time and already expecting certain things but noticing different details has made it a lot more memorable for me.

Then again, this is hardly in defense of 2049, since a good movie should aim to deliver this experience in a single runtime but I found it very interesting. There is "a lot there" in 2049, it's just buried under almost an forced form of dark and dramatic cinematography.
