Yeah, I think conductr and I are on the same page here... basically I see real estate ripe for the same kind of transformation as financial services has experienced... once upon a time if you wanted to buy and sell stocks or other assets, you went to a stockbroker / financial advisor. Today, sure there is still a need for those professionals, but many more people trade on Schwab / Fidelity (as examples) and the standard of practice for the remaining financial advisors has improved as expectations have increased.

Essentially - I expect some combination of technology / low-cost brokerages to take over a lot of the business, while some demographics of buyers / sellers or types of properties will continue to rely on the services of brokers who will be forced to up their game in order to compete. I fully expect a bloodbath among some of the larger national / international brokerages, as many of them have abusive, unsustainable business models.
Wouldn't recommend at all. Journalist bodies have been warning about the compromisation of Doordarshan by the government. They have stopped subscribing to the Press Trust of India, which is a highly reputed Reuters like agency, in favour of an RSS aligned, government friendly agency.

Apple isn't good at charging.

There's a lot of aspect they excel, graphic design, ergonomics, material etc. Charging has never been their forte. I present as evidence:

- the original humongous 31 pin ipod cable

- the harpooned mouse

- the wireless charging mat they never could deliver

- the first Apple pencil (and its usb-c charging cable...)

- their previous gen desktop keyboards charging over lightning

Their only great charging idea was probably magsafe for laptops.
I just played it for an hour. It's like a remix Breath of the Wild, which isn't a bad thing considering BotW might be the best game I've ever played. But because of that there's no initial mind blowing experience of learning the mechanics for the first time, understanding how you can go anywhere, climb anything, etc. Hard to replicate an experience like that I suppose. But it still seems like a ton of fun, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it plenty.

Some of the advice is good. Much of it is sexist, antiquated, and focused solely on American culture. The format is interesting.
> Everyone goes to an IVF clinic knowing they'll kill multiple babies in the process. How can this be acceptable to a single person?

Knowledge =/= intent. And I bet most people going to IVF don't know the process involves killing viable babies, unless and until they are informed of it at the clinic. Regardless, it's definitely not the intention, but an unnecessary side-effect. If I had to peruse IVF, I'd take my business to an ethical clinic that doesn't do such cost-cutting, just like I buy ethical food even though it's more expensive. Factory meat is torture and murder for me as well.

> You didn't say anything against it so far.

Factually incorrect. Me, two days ago [1] in reply to you, about killing babies in IVF process: "It's still kinda bad".

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35882796

> Really? Does the law say that? Is it generally okay to kill people if you also create new people?

A very good and complex question with ethical dilemmas and conflicting precedent.

The simplest case is that of self-defense and defense of others. If suspect A is threatening to murder victim B, it's largely accepted that killing suspect A to preserve victim B's life is a necessary evil, especially if victim B is a pregnant woman.

According to the old unwritten Custom of the Sea it was accepted until 1884 that shipwreck survivors were forgiven for killing and eating each other to pervail. Mignonette The case of R v Dudley and Stephens (1884 14 QBD 273 DC) convicted two sailors to six months imprisonment for murdering and eating their unconscious crewmate to survive, which de facto set the practice antiquated and illegal.

Consider the maternal–fetal conflict of an unconscious woman in childbirth with complications lethal to both herself and the baby, doctors able to save one but not both (somewhat common trope in media). My understanding is that the husband gets to decide which of them dies by choosing who to save, and conventional wisdom says to save the baby at the mother's expense. My cursory search provided poor information so I don't know.

From a practical and moral standpoint I consider this an analogue of the trolley problem, and posit that yes, of course an act of killing is less worse if it additionally results in a new life (or saving of existing one(s)). That's the natural precedent for predation.
I think that transformed news by language models is just another hole to jump in. I'm definitely tired of the internet being filled with mostly junk nowadays. I just don't like the idea of learning things via a language model. I prefer to filter this myself. Maybe it's more effort but to me feels more valuable.
I mean we whine all the time about Google directing your searches to specific places. This feels the same of worse.
BOTW did not set a high bar for storyline imo. Gameplay yea.
Nintendo nailed it again. Almost every single outlet gave it a 10.

And the fixed the performance issues too, even Digital Foundry was impressed at how drastic of a change the day one patch was compared to the cartridge version.
Nothing prevents a Python dynamic compiler to follow a similar approach though, specially now that type annotations are part of the language.

And in any case, there are the Smalltalk and SELF JITs as an example of highly dynamic environments, where anything goes.
I would also point out that Shakespeare plays are ... well plays. Nit something meant to be read, byt something meant to be seen. And most people read it only if their school assigned it as mandatory reading, because reading plays is not much of a pleasure.
This game is pretty accurate.

Theres a relatively well known video of multiple mods at a seminar asked to decide if pieces of content should stay up or be taken down.

At no point, was there consensus.

Content that most people would consider heinous, were allowed up by at least one mod, with a strong reason to do so.

Apparently the game is just 16GB and runs seamlessly on a decade old hardware with no loading screens between game areas.

How does Nintendo pull it off?
I was a longtime Coda user in the late 00's early 10's. Moved away to IntelliJ for several years. Recently rediscovered Nova after IntelliJ introduced some memory leak that makes system performance unbearable.

Nova is using, btw, 1/4 the RAM that IntelliJ was using. In addition to looking pretty. And feeling responsive. And not crashing my Zoom calls.

According to reviews so far this game would be a Top 5 on the Nintendo Switch and Top 50 game on any platform. (https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/...)

That’s an impressive achievement for a team that had to beat the high bar they set with Breath of the Wild. Kudos to them!
While I understand the criticism from an open source perspective, I have mixed feelings about the argument that the nature of code/data (open or closed) should be the decisive factor, especially regarding deployment.

If it is e-waste you are worried about you can always use Linux to keep your older machines useful as that both allows them to run better than Windows with a lightweight DE while also using the latest versions of the available software with all the security fixes.

You also get to have more control of how your computer will behave too.

From the reviews, the gameplay seems like its even more fun. Particularly looking forward to the weapons and vehicles system.
I wrote an essay a few weeks back that has yet to be published (it was about AI but it applies here). It is starting to feel like everything is starting to feed back on itself. The output is being funneled back into input. Like a fractal. Interesting but you do not want to build a society on a fractal. Or a city on Rock and roll for that manner ;).

In that sense technology is becoming a feed back loop of society itself. Anxiety, can be an act of repeating the same nervous though again and again in a loop never moving on. In that way, this is were information technology had lead a lot of realms of us to.

To some degree I think this is what Jaron Lanier means when he says AI could drive us insane. This level of feed back is not going to work out well.
Kind of a spoiler for people trying to play the game fresh.

The problem is that LLVM IR makes breaking changes fairly frequently -- for instance, LLVM 15 made all pointers untyped; where before you'd have a type like *i32, now you just have ptr.

If you're trying to run the same IR on 32-bit and 64-bit devices, I'd expect you'd need to freeze the word size anyway -- if a C or C++ program uses sizeof(), what value gets returned?

Blocking IO doesn't get solved by switching to LLVM either; you can't block in browser WASM because it'd block the JS thread; a WASM engine not attached to a browser has no such issues. (I wish at least one-shot continuations would get added so that this could become a bit easier in the browser, but I understand the hesitancy to do so...)

Oh, whoops. I probably skimmed the page too fast or something. Not aware of anything bad with norepinephrine, although my specific case of ADHD gets much worse with SNRIs or levoamphetamine so obviously YMMV.
Semantic difference.

Brave takes away ads from pages.

Then, it shows other ads in other ways:

https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
https://brave.com/brave-ads/ad-formats/

So while the statement that it "replaces ads with their own ads" is technically false (the ads are not injected into the web sites in place of the blocked ones), it's still a sloppy but mostly correct way of pointing out that the business incentive behind Brave's ad blocking means that the goal isn't abolish ads as a concept altogether. The point is still to show ads if companies want to pay for it.
I was listening to a gaming podcast last week and they were talking about how this release was pirated and available for the last week or so on torrents. That in itself wasn't surprising, but the interesting point they talked about is that the game is much more enjoyable when played on PC with an emulated copy because modern gaming PC hardware is much smoother and higher resolution than the stock Switch.

It really makes me think Nintendo has an untapped market here to sell a little box you plug into your PC that plays switch games, interfaces with their controllers, etc. They've done oddball stuff like the SNES Gameboy player and GameCube GBA player add-ons in the past. It feels like there would be people willing to pay to properly play Switch games on their gaming PCs.
Eh, just from a SQL query alone, there's no way to see that (lower(email)) is indexed, or see column data types etc. That metadata lives in the table definition, which is a normal place for it, so it seems reasonable for the collation / case-insensitivity to not be explicit in the query text.

Besides, MySQL also supports functional indexes, so you could do the (lower(email)) approach in MySQL too if you really want!
In the insight case, the model has to classify the terms in a short paragraph into broad generic classes, then report which terms have different classes. In the recall case the model has to rank all utterances in its training data based on how relevant they are to the question, then summarise the most relevant one (assuming there is one). Insight seems easier than recall here.
When I worked at Google (in like 2009?) there used to be one of these parked in the lot near 43.
You are coming from a C++ background too much. In the semantics of Go (and many other GC-based languages) there is no such thing as a local object. All objects in general are allocated in the same place, and you can always safely share a reference to an object (from a use-after-free perspective, not parallelism etc). So there is nothing weird, at all, about returning the address of an object you created locally in a function.

That the runtime can allocate objects on the stack instead is an optimization, not a part of the language semantics. Letting the reference escape the enclosing function does not "automatically promote the object to the heap", it simply prevents the optimization above.

Also, none of this has anything to do with the problem of taking the address of loop variables. The confusing thing there is not the lifetime of the loop variable per se. It is the fact that the range-based loop variable is mutated to contain a copy of the next element in the range at the next iteration. It doesn't work like the C++ range-based loop, where the range_declaration is considered part of the loop body, for example.

Metaphor Thinking in Deep Learning
I just rushed the Master Sword and lived with the cooldown. Been a while but don’t remember being too frustrated about it.
When the 286 was designed, there was the idea that no one would like to return to real mode and would happily adopt OS/2 (1.x, not the later graphical one), Xenix and similar OSes, that of course didn't happen, thus 386 had to sort that out.
I have noticed more stores giving actual garment measurements on their site (as opposed to a near meaningless size that is several inches off due to vanity sizing!)
Yup it's definitely a missed opportunity. We use our Google home devices as intercom. However if the dock is only a Google home device when docked, then it's unreliable as an intercom. So can't really use that feature.
The way you're using "decimal floating point" seems to imply there is a "floating point" that is not "decimal".

My understanding is that "decimal", in the context of programming, is a less-precise term to mean floating-point (i.e. encompassing IEEE 754 floats, double- vs single-precision, etc), because they're all binary numbers if you dig deep enough, right?

But apparently I am incorrect/underinformed about this.

What is "decimal", then?
So if there's two candidates, but one of them is a student with no history of employment, and the other is someone with at least a couple years of experience behind their belt, which do you think the business would hire for the same cost?
Not very comparable IMO. Especially to the latter two which are pure RPG.
Yeah but the question was whether you read any of those plays, not whether you can provide detailed analysis or explain it.
Wait - are looking for 100% of the work to be done, but at a fraction of the cost? i.e. instead of everyone pretending to work 8 hours per day 5 times per week they are just going to do work when there is work to do?

This is called "asynchronous work" or "async work"[1]. Do work when it makes sense for you, but get it all done. Async workers should not be discounted.

"Can i use this" badges for cross browser features

[Green] If you see the green Baseline badge, then you can trust that the feature will work in the browsers' latest and previous major releases.

[Yellow] If you see a yellow badge showing that a feature is not yet Baseline, then do more research and testing with your site's users before relying on that feature, or wait for it to become Baseline.

It's not. Eventually we'll have OAuth and that will be the preferred approach.

I’m sorry but your comment is weirdly unconstructive.
There is a huge fundamental difference between telemetry for the sake of product lock-in, advertising, and profits...vs data harvesting for oppressive regimes that make people disappear, and malicious actors to hack, steal, and blackmail people and organisations.

As historical note, it was also the last MS-DOS compiler to add support for C++, among all compiler vendors.
Why do you “have to oppose induction” now?
Nintendo are way too control-freak for this, not to mention fearful of piracy and emulation. They don't want that money.
Sure, and there are also plenty of examples of things MySQL can do that Postgres can't.

There's no silver bullets in software or databases, no "one size fits all". Just various trade-offs between different design decisions.
I'm sorry you've had such bad experience with realtors... just some thoughts:

-- My experience with real estate attorneys has been as mixed as your experiences with realtors. Some know what they are doing, many do not. Many care about billable hours just as much as the outcome. YMMV.

-- Some realtors care about volume, and some care about their fiduciary responsibilities to your business. If they are actually a Realtor and following the standards set by the NAR, then volume or commission % shouldn't be their motivation. Again - just like any profession - some are good, some suck.

-- Finally, regarding commission percentages - yeah, in many markets commissions shouldn't be as high as they have been. In my market(s) we are seeing commissions decline. That said - I regularly more than pay my own commission in the earnings / savings I negotiate for my clients. If I make you an extra $50K and I get $10K for that service, I've earned my money. Again - if you haven't found that with the agents you've used, I fully encourage you to report any fraudulent activity to the local real estate association and/ or state agency. In any case if you don't receive the service you expect, find a new agent.

> Rather than allow the user to determine their own level of security

You're proposing we let users "opt" into insecurity. And it doesn't seem like anything user's want: it seems like what governments what to coral their citizens into.

Further, I'm not sure what viable insecure plans we have that make sense; what has been on offer that we ought have considered?

It's just getting messy now, and who knows what's next, but I have a hard time seeing insecurity as going well for governments. I don't think they have the iron will to deny their citizens internet access, which is their only real power.

It seems unlikely they would be willing to let go of control like that. With all their oddball stuff, you were still largely within the Nintendo ecosystem. They also probably don't want to deal with the piracy problem on PC, considering they already deal with it on their relatively locked-down consoles.

For better or for worse, Nintendo also likes to really control the experience you get playing games on their platforms; It would probably not be a great look for them to have to deal with thousands of customers that are trying to run their games on hardware older than a Switch and complaining that it's a terrible experience. Yeah the existing hardware is underpowered, but its uniformly underpowered, and that's worth quite a bit too.

I think for Nintendo, the more prudent solution would be to release an updated Switch with some more powerful hardware that's fully backwards compatible with the existing Switch library. It would be very par for the course for them, and assuage most of the complaints about the Switch being underpowered.
Spending a few minutes downloading, installing, and setting up a new browser is so much quicker than installing an ad blocker in 5 seconds. I believe it
I actually liked that system, and yes it's also present in TOTK.

I'm worried about something else personally - the whole system of building things with random parts looks extremely janky. I was hoping it's only going to be required to solve a few puzzles and that's it, but according to some reviews the entire world is designed around you building this stuff. Well, I'm going to have a try this weekend, but it might end up on eBay by Monday :/
I think it’d be hard to describe. Maybe you could watch gameplay videos on YouTube?

One quote from a reviewer that I remember - “I didn’t know other games had me in shackles until Breath of the Wild set me free”.
I know art students that routinely order stuff, use it for one film/show and return it. Because that's possible.
