> they are a class that is relatively easy to disenfranchise

Correct. Dated, but related and a classic: "We find that neither demographic nor attitudinal attributes explain [people who have recently moved's] lower turnout. Instead, the requirement that citizens must register anew after each change in residence constitutes the key stumbling block in the trip to the polls. Since nearly one-third of the nation moves every two years, moving has a large impact on national turnout rates."

The authors suggested "linking the maintenance of registration to an action that is usually an intrinsic part of moving" such as the "change-of-address notice at a local post office." Interestingly, "holding elections on Sunday, making election day a holiday, or extending the hours that the polls are open...are designed to facilitate people who are registered" and would thus "do little to improve turnout."

> Most people I know could not afford their house if they were buying it today

How is that true if you moved to a place with an equivalent cost of living?

I had my house built in the suburbs of Atlanta for $350K in metro Atlanta. It’s now worth $650K. If I wanted to buy another house for $650K, I would sell my house. Get $300K in cash, use it for a down payment, and still have a $350K mortgage.

Of course I’m ignoring selling costs, interest rate differences etc.

I have a friend who located from Seattle to Atlanta. He also had a home in Seattle, he had $600K in equity that he was able to use to get a $900K house in Atlanta and have a $300K mortgage.
Most of that could have been fixed with minimal changes to the OS and UI.

In general no, it wasn't easy for poor folks to get their own farm land, and it became harder as time went on.

A plot of land was a common millitary pension; soldiers would retire there and work the land after putting in enough service time. This worked well while there was plenty of decent land in Italy, but became a worse deal over time. Once the prime land was taken up soldiers had to settle for plots of varying quality far from their homeland, which was much less pleasant as you'd expect.

18 years ago, we moved cross country for a job for my wife that was already planned to be eliminated in a few months by the person doing the hiring—unbeknownst to us. To take advantage of the job opportunity, we had to rent out our house. Renting cost us a lot of money due to problems with the renters and no one but me to come back to deal with them, even though I had a contractor friend do a number of things. Then we had to move back. An expensive and inappropriate experience.
How cool is that! Pebbltastic!

You could accomplish this in a roundabout way outside the mortgage system:

-You rent out your home and retain and continue to service your low interest rate mortgage.

-You relocate to new city and rent from someone else with a low interest rate mortgage (and thus, presumably, attractive rental terms).

I predict this will become an increasingly common solution (for the subset of homeowners who need to/want to relocate) and that some sort of new middleman/platform will emerge to serve this market (think longer term residential leases, better vetting of renters, etc)
Ask HN: What are your best internal LLM-based solutions?
Hi HN, I'm running a company-wide exploratory effort on LLM applications, mostly internally-facing for the time being, and I find myself overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, ideas and, not the least, pressure from above to find impactful use cases.

So, to the question, what have you used them for, how and with what outcome? Curious to hear what the setups look like, what models and what considerations went in setting up these solutions.

Thanks!
In bigger setups, all you want is a data collector and router so that you can feed the data into multiple destinations, depending on the use case. Analytics is just one. Example: https://www.rudderstack.com/ & https://www.rudderstack.com/replace-google-analytics-4-guide...
For chat, its common to use gpt to summarize previous turns so they consume fewer tokens, while not losing the context completely.

If you life anywhere where there had been a large increase in cost of rent and/or housing moving can be a _major and long term_ financial burden even if you ignore the direct cost and complexity of moving.

I case of property, especially if not payed of, it can mean a money loss you might take years to recover from and in case of rent it might include a non small increase in monthly cost.

This can easily make the difference between having a decent live and scrapping by.

And this isn't even including all the other negative effects, like getting further away from friends and family (and support networks), children needing to change school, you needing a new baby sitter, etc. But especially very low income families often _are deeply depended_ on such factors.

*Moving is luxury, at least with today economy.*

At the same time not moving to get a job is also luxury, so I guess people with low income are just majorly screwed.
I'm with you on "not open source", but I don't think "proprietary" works as the opposite of "open source" here.

The dictionary definition of "proprietary" tends towards "one that possesses, owns, or holds exclusive right to something" - that doesn't quite fit here, because models licensed under OpenRAIL aren't exclusively restricted to their owners.

They have terms of how they can used that are more restrictive than open source licenses, but they don't enforce "exclusive" usage by their owners.

Sometimes these rationalizations are fair, other times not.

When you’re a core user / minor subject expert, yes.

Thank you; I was unaware of this common parlance. I understood that UBI implicitly meant something that one could live off of.

In that case, I prefer something like a Friedmanesque negative income tax, versus the absurd scenario of, say, a pauper and a millionaire both receiving the same basic income; or indeed over the existing absurdities of the means-tested welfare system, with all of its perverse incentives.
Fair, then you shouldn't have much trouble locating a decent job if you're in the tech and/or software field. Despite FAANG layoffs, the field is booming.

Plenty of insurance companies, restaurant conglomerates, car dealership conglomerates, banks, manufacturing companies, big-AG, medicine, commercial property management companies - not to mention all the consulting companies adjacent to nearly every industry imaginable. They all need tech...

Tech != FAANG, was the point.
It's to do with how the parsers are implemented in browsers I believe. I think I read that it would require a large rewrite of them all and potentially make them slower.

Personally I think it good that it makes it more explicit, even for none element nested selectors I'm adding the & to make it clear. So for a class "& .something".

Edit:

Found it in the spec

> Nesting style rules naively inside of other style rules is, unfortunately, ambiguous—the syntax of a selector overlaps with the syntax of a declaration, so an implementation requires unbounded lookahead to tell whether a given bit of text is a declaration or the start of a style rule.

> ... that is, the parser might have to hold onto an unknown amount of content before it can tell which way it’s supposed to be interpreting it. CSS to date requires only a small, known amount of lookahead in its parsing, which allows for more efficient parsing algorithms, so unbounded lookahead is generally considered unacceptable among browser implementations of CSS.

> If the government wanted to buy another one, the contractor would have charged them an extra $435.

This claim appears to contradict what the story says, as far as I can tell? He's the original:

> The military bought the hammer, Kelman explained, bundled into one bulk purchase of many different spare parts. But when the contractors allocated their engineering expenses among the individual spare parts on the list-a bookkeeping exercise that had no effect on the price the Pentagon paid overall-they simply treated every item the same. So the hammer, originally $15, picked up the same amount of research and development overhead-$420-as each of the highly technical components, recalled retired procurement official LeRoy Haugh. (Later news stories inflated the $435 figure to $600.)

> "The hammer got as much overhead as an engine," Kelman continued, despite the fact that the hammer cost much less than $420 to develop, and the engine cost much more-"but nobody ever said, 'What a great deal the government got on the engine!'"

So the bought an order containing a hammer, an engine, and some other stuff. There weren't itemized prices. So they divided the price evenly between everything in the box. Which is a silly way to do accounting. It's as if I bought a "woodworking kit" containing a hammer, a screwdriver and table saw for $900, and then I decided decided that meant the hammer cost $300.

Learning to get into the exercise habit is a night and day change for me.

In fact, my body now demands that I go to the gym every day of the week, either for weights, cardio, or both. On my one rest day, I feel riddled by anxiety at 6 pm because I'm not doing any real physical activity. (Now that I write this, maybe I should walk on my rest day, but oh well.)

It's hard work to form the habit, but it's the best treatment for this sort of thing that I've found. Once you start associating exercise = relief, it becomes welcome.

I think it more reflects a very, very different view of what the web should be.

I went out of the way to purge any actual Javascript requirements from my personal blog, because I want it usable without JS. About all you get is local search and some image shadowbox sort of scaling with it, otherwise it's not needed.

I reject the notion that everything should be a responsive web application, and I make my living in the deep weeds of the kernel and below, so... it's fine. We're in different stacks, and I expect your idea of working on 90 year old cars and tractors matches my view of having to try to build a "modern" website when all I want to do is publish some stuff.

It may very well be "just my opinion," but it's a more and more shared one lately. Consumer tech is human-toxic, through and through, anymore. Despite the promises it once had.

"when the contractors allocated their engineering expenses among the individual spare parts on the list... they simply treated every item the same"

Sounds like an extra hammer would have cost an $15+$420=$435. Anyways, we'll never know.

I will say, the one thing I believe, is that the government had a bucket of money to spend on the project. Let's say it was $1 million. And the contractor was going to get all of it, all $1 million. Not a penny more and not a penny less.

And so you can't really trust the invoice is accurate except for the total being the budget available to spend.
