I think that this larger-population kind of conversation format actually inhibits conversation. The conversation is of lower quality.

You'd think it would be higher quality, but no. It doesn't seem to work that way.

That's something to think about. How can we make the conversation smaller? Or something.
Until they replace the people the LLM they certainly are the same thing. I know at some companies compliance with policy ranges in the 20-30% range. Are they going to fire 70-80% of the companies employees for refusing to return to the office?
Going to be wild to see city officials cope with the reduced tax revenues when they’re used to giving homeless people $600 a month and a dog

Tail call optimization is “supported” by the JVM and is of course language dependent as it is performed at compile time. For instance, Scalia does support it. Would be great if the JVM itself supported it so it wasn’t dependent on compilers and I believe there is a proposal floating around for that.
My God, me; too. Never - ever - could understand why Apple wouldn’t just sell the watch as a potentially standalone device.

I know, it’s Apple; but at the same time, you’re easily going to sell 2-3 times more of them, and; like the iPod, it can easily introduce them to the Apple ecosystem and when it comes time to buy a new phone; they’ll maybe say ‘well, I’ve already got an Apple Watch and really like it…maybe I’ll get an iPhone this time my contract expires.’

But it’s Apple business logic. I’ve used their products pretty much exclusively for nearly 20 years (I’m an iOS/WatchOS dev and have used Logic to make music for 15 years) but I’ll never understand many of their decisions.

The rumours were similar for the iPad. So much so they poked fun at those rumours when they shared the actual pricing which was shockingly low.
It does seem likely there's more to come, and what if anything can be done to mitigate the impact on the city's economy is an interesting question. Reasoning about that probably requires some careful disentangling of the different inputs - housing policy, remote work trends, recession and tech layoffs, etc.

It's too bad this piece just takes the opportunity to launch into a list of generic conservative complaints about SF policy, which were equally applicable when rents were skyrocketing. They seem to have forgotten that it was all supposed to be Chesa Boudin's fault... Bring him back, he was better for the office market!

That LLM's are AI is propaganda. It follows that so is any "magical" property conferred.
If the cells are matched it is less of a problem.
But 2S battery management boards with additional features like low voltage cutoff and current limits are only a few euros in single quantities, so I see no reason not to use them.
It really depends on the country, and the particular school district. In the US our problem is cash being syphoned off into "not really education."

Around 10-12k worth of education dollars are spent per year per student at a public school in the US. This money does not educate the children, or even go mostly the teachers' salaries.

The nations that figured out how to get the cash to the people who matter in education are the ones doing it right. Most western countries spend a lot of cash on education; they just spend it in horrifically bad ways.
The great appeal of San Francisco is that you don’t have to think about what you’re going to wear at least 300 days of the year. If you’re outdoorsy at all it’s very hard to go to the rest of the US and feel trapped inside. Unfortunately for me, family moved there after I moved to be close on the west coast, so I get to experience that 2 weeks every year.

I would also dispute “no natural disasters”. There are serious winter events in those regions (and crazy floods depending on where you are in the Midwest) that happen basically yearly.

I don’t think any part of the world is without significant tradeoffs, you just have to find the ones that matter to you.

I think a huge part of that is getting things up to code because of zoning rules (eg minimum size of apartment, installing kitchens and bathrooms which requires adding plumbing that doesn’t exist, etc etc).

The purpose of Gluetun is to isolate your VPN into a container that you can then bind as the network provider of other containers. However, it's a documented problem [0] that performance isn't anywhere near as good as running the VPN natively, especially for Wireguard. At the minimum this can be related on some systems to the container being unable to load the kernel-space driver and having to rely on lower performing user-space driver, but even with a pre-loaded kernel-space driver performance testing is reporting significant lower values than the host. Presumably this project is to try and resolve that issue.

Raspberry Pis are accessible, in your opinion? There's been a deep shortage for years.
Well Apple Pay, running/tracking apps and listening to music via Bluetooth all work without phone. And I don’t have the model with internal sim, maybe more stuff works with that version.

I agree you need the phone too, but at least I’ve been able to track a run while listening to music on my headphones and pay for water after my flask broke all without a phone present.

I think we’re close to just the watch but I’d be damned if I want to dictate messages etc. The screen size and lack of input devices definitely holds it back from being genuinely standalone.
> some of the best paying careers there are, are "hard, disgusting or dangerous".

In these cases, there is still something choking the supply side. In the case of software, its having the curiosity, intelligence and discipline to actually learn the skillset to the point where they can create the value. I've met plenty of people who wanted to learn to code that fell apart as soon as they tried writing anything past "hello world"

The Four Declaration Pattern for TypeScript
It is very dense, and to be honest, not very clear. I've been in the industry since college and my eyes glazed over a little at the massive walls of text.

There's a reason university-level courses are usually taught in a certain order (basic circuits, transistor circuits, then device physics/manufacturing). By doing it the opposite way here, they're trying to teach you how to make something you have no idea how to use. Or really even what it is...
That's why I prefer distro-built packages over upstream binaries wherever possible. It greatly reduces the number of build and distribution platforms that I have to trust.
Yes exactly. They've been foreshadowing this with developers for a while with ARKit. It will take several iterations, and likely as yet non existent new technology to make this a true mass market product. But it's not like it would make sense for them to spin on prototypes for a decade, and some point they have to ship and take it from there.
Okay, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the worst possible outcome. Let's use the words of Sam Altman, the risk here is "light out for all of us", and let's just assume it meant we would still live, just in darkness. Or whatever plausible bad case outcome you could imagine. Do you see any negative outcome is possible at all? If you do, would you at least be cautious so that we could avoid such an outcome? That would be the behavior I expect to see in leading AI scientists and yet...
"Furthermore, we demonstrate that simple prompting strategies can not only mitigate this bias but also effectively bypass GPT detectors"

Anyone who claims to be surprised by this either isn't thinking very hard - or is deliberately ignoring this because they want to sell you a snake oil detection product.
I had to stop around the time of 2fa, as well. Hoped there was a way around that by now. (Well, not around, but with.)
There are loads of tools available to fix Android phones. The problem is that most people just use whatever is setup preinstalled. It would be a fun experiment for someone to document and post here: Buy the cheapest most bloated phone you can find and then:
1. Run the universal android debloater found on Github to disable all the crap.
2. Install some apps such as InviZible Pro to firewall the apps.

Oh this one is hilariously wrong. Is it InvoiceLine that we are getting here? Or Maybe LineInvoice? Nope those aren't the same. But the only argument is called «line». How shameful. Much sadness. Better add a print statement, push a new build and comeback in twenty minutes

The paper claims there are massive differences between language used on the surface web and the dark web. That is, people talk differently when they're in a different environment that takes special effort to get into.

If we have to guess one way or the other, it seems like we should assume the same is true of the crawlable dark web versus the non-crawlable dark web.

> At least 36 deaths were reported to be related to the storm, many of them in shoveling or auto-related incidents, and the total damages were US $1.8 billion.

For your tornado question: https://www.weather.gov/lot/sigchitorn

> There were 92 significant tornadoes in the 8 county Chicago metro area between 1855 and 2008.

> The deadliest tornado occurred on April 21, 1967 during an outbreak of 5 significant tornadoes. A violent F4 tornado formed in Palos Hills in Cook County and traveled through Oak Lawn and the south side of Chicago. 33 people died and 500 people were injured by this 200 yard wide tornado that traveled 16 miles and caused over $50 million in damage.

> The most recent significant tornadoes occurred on June 7, 2008 over Will and Cook Counties.

> The only F5 tornado to ever strike the Chicago area was on August 28 1990. This tornado formed near Oswego and passed through Plainfield, Crest Hill, and Joliet. The tornado killed 29, injured 350, and caused $165 million in damage along a 16 mile path.
Yes. The Halting Problem is just Gõdel incompleteness in drag. They're both the same idea and they're both thoroughly proven.
Indeed, I learned during my degree that this building was designed so that maintenance and refitting would be easier. Turns out it was just an Architectural excuse for the aesthetics of it
I was living in Georgia when CNN's building in downtown was hit by a tornado. They're not nearly as bad as in the midwest, but they certainly happen. Mind you, it's a perfectly reasonable place to build up, but the likelihood of getting killed in a tornado over the past 100 years looks to be worse than the likelihood of dying in an earthquake in California over the past 100 years (slightly lower numbers from what I could gather, but dramatically lower population).

Phoenix (and Albuquerque but I'm less familiar with the specifics) is in the desert; both the water it gets and the ambient temperature are getting worse due to climate change. There are already legal fights over water rights in the greater Phoenix area, and it's just going to get worse. That is not a place to be building up.
When commercial loans are renewed (and they are because commercial loans are usually rolled over and not paid off, ie interest only) things like the occupancy rate, rent cost, creditworthiness of lessees and other things are factored into the new loan terms. So if the rental rate is lower then interest will be higher on the loan. Or the loan provider will okay a smaller portion of the loan requiring you to cough up the difference.

Example a $10m building, you put $1m down on. You go to refinance the loan and they are only willing to float you $7m now because you arent able to charge as much rent to tenants. Thus requiring you to come up with $2m or lose your $1m investment and the building.
Those numbers are probably accurate. The reason it doesn't add up to you is that you aren't thinking about the actual costs of residential conversion or the math behind $100/sqft.

The easy one: $100/sqft isn't $100/sqft for each apartment, it's $100/sqft of building. That means that you have to count hallways, lobbies, elevator shafts, mechanical spaces, internal walls, etc. All that adds up.

The hard one: The $1000/sqft conversion cost. This comes down to the fact that residential and commercial buildings have very different floorplans. Commercial buildings keep the plumbing near the elevator shafts because it's more efficient, but residential buildings need much more extensive plumbing on each floor to give everyone a bathroom and a kitchen. Electrical metering and wiring also becomes a lot more complicated. You also have to do things like putting up walls and light fixtures (usually commercial tenants pay for that in the spaces they rent) and installing residential appliances. All of that adds up to a quite significant cost in a place like San Francisco, notwithstanding the costs for permits.
That's an all-ages version, which is extremely common. You can go on Steam and a lot of the visual novels there are the all-ages versions, because they just sell better in some cases, and primarily because Steam is iffy on including adult content when most visual novels focus on students, which is the case for FATE for example.

Plus, it just re-affirms what I said:
> They did eventually move away from pornography as the franchise got popular enough via the initial cult following. This isn't at all uncommon with visual novels, starting with pornographic content and moving away as adaptations to anime and manga are made and it reaches the mainstream.

Tsukihime, also from Type-Moon (developers of FATE), has recently gotten a remake which stripped away all the adult content (with no +18 patches of any sort).

For reference. Most of the top visual novels on VNDB (Visual Novel Database, the biggest information depository for the VN community) have adult content, but most aren't "NUKIGE", which is when the game primarily focuses on adult content over the plot. You can however, safely remove the adult content from most non-nukige visual novels without breaking the story beats.

This is a responsibility Dodge at best. You wouldn't say that murdering someone is ethical just because there are many murders worldwide and one more person is just a minor contribution.

If you believe the total carbon emissions pose a problem, then you have to believe your personal contribution is a problem as well if you you are intellectually honest. The sum of the parts add up to the whole.

You can make an argument that maybe it's not the highest priority for public action if you were to stack rank issues, fine. However, to to claim an individual contribution is exactly zero is incorrect.

This increases verifiability. Not security. And it's not the real issue.

On Linux, many apps are open-source yet users don't compile them themselves; they trust that their distro vets packages properly before making them available in official repositories.

In this situation, the problem isn't the lack of reproducible builds, but insufficient oversight by Apple that led to an untrustworthy package being made available in their "repository" (App Store).
What's interesting about this to me is just how obvious it is that somebody with 99th-percentile verbal skills and the ability to explain difficult topics clearly should be doing what that second guy is doing, not working one-on-one with individual students.
It really doesn't work well unless you have a very specific focus, usually a specific function.

I'm working on something to make this more manageable, hopefully a lot more. You can get an email if you sign-in at https://inventai.xyz.
> Having all these easily accessible on the outside of the building (instead of having to open up walls or floors) sounds like it should make maintenance easier, not harder.

Accessibility is improved, but lifespan is sacrificed. When the systems are on the outside they're subjected to much greater swings in environment (humidity, pressure, temperature, thermal expansion, and so on) that don't happen when they're inside the climate-control envelope of the building.
