Counterpoint: grew up in a small town and now have kids in SF. Moved to the small town before kindergarten and always felt like an outsider there - other kids knew each other because their parents went to school together and my parents invested 0 in socializing me when I was little.

In SF, if you seek it there is a strong parent community that feels like the other side of the fence to me - welcoming and inclusive. Everyone has different styles of parenting but we converge on keeping kids safe and supporting their play. The groups are far more diverse ethnically, economically and even politically here and I think that is healthy exposure for kids.

Yes, a few families move out each year but my son has a group of kids he has hung out with since he was 3 (8 now). The kids all go to different schools but as I have learned from people who grew up in SF, kids tend to make cross school connections and friendships pollinate across schools so high school parties can turn into big group hangs.

All this may be easier and more stable in the burbs, but the community/village mindset does exist in SF if you seek it. It's not that there isn't crime and some troubled kids here, but there are some incredible benefits to the city as well.

This may be specific to SF as we have an insanely low kid % in SF (like 5% vs. 14% most other cities).
Arm every custodian, lunchroom worker, and admin too, they're in the halls while the teacher is in the classroom. Have one unit of shooting range in every year's gym class. A gun safe in each classroom would allow the teacher to arm the students (5th grade and up) when an incident breaks out. These would only be .22LR or .25, but 35 of those converging on a perp would serve them right.

School board meetings- better collect all the guns at the door, though. People get hot at those.
on the other hand, global warming will pump much more water in the atmosphere, and we will have more precipitation. In fact, global warming would not be a problem at all if what I said above was not true. CO2 alone could only raise the temperature by 1C no matter how much we would put in the air (by year 2100). The water vapor creates a positive feedback loop that warms it far beyond what CO2 can do alone.
Emacs? Keyboard lag? Is that with some kind of LSP or other itegration?

I find that Emacs keyboard responsiveness on text (on a 17 year old core duo laptop) is indistinguishable from vi or nano.
This is something I heard a lot from people from the former GDR. Usually, they start by acknowledging the bad things: the limited opportunity to travel, the surveillance. But then, they tell you about what they miss. Knowing their neighbours, a certain idea of fraternity and togetherness in hardship, the feeling that even as a poor kid you could achieve something and be useful to society as a whole, the absence of really dire poverty.

I think people especially in the US are quick to dismiss the Soviet Republics while ignoring what they did get right and the alienating parts of their own culture.
I've received more than 100,000 spam mails in the last two decades. They have been unsuccessful. Unfortunately, they keep coming.
All of the "ChatGPT banned" discussions seem to fail to differential ChatGPT (the D2C interface) from the B2B products. From a security and compliance perspective, they're essentially two completely different risk profiles.

* ChatGPT is the equivalent of putting your info on PasteBin or some other public sharing site. Anything you send there, you should not expect to remain private.

* The B2B side has much better controls and limits to minimize risk.

One of my fish died and I don't know why :(
Years and years ago, before the Internet, I saw a lady being interviewed on some gardening show who had been gardening organically for a billion years or something. At one point she sticks her arm into her garden bed up to the shoulder, and casually says something like, "you should be fluffy and lose a yard deep"... This was rich dark lovely soil with all kinds of plants booming up out of it, and she can reach into it w/o digging arm-deep. Something to think about, eh?
It's part of the GPT grift on social media. Youtubers peddle these dumb ideas for making money with chatgpt, and don't actually use those ideas to make money.

Their viewers try and fail.
The key word is "average". I'm assuming the former Enterprise customers (large companies like banks who pay for many, many users) are folded into the Teams product now. In any case, a few big customers will skew the average. I'd be interested in median, but that would be a lot less impressive in the annual report.
Most jobs I've had require some dealing with the other. Knowing the differences and how to handle the interfaces would be a requirement for either position.

I'd certainly prefer to hire someone with both tools available, to use where appropriate, not a religious ideologue obstinately refusing to consider anything that's unpure.

Because any payoff would be worth the effort. It's the same as people spamming bug bounty programs by using publicly available scanning tools.

All it takes is one success anywhere for people to keep trying to spam every possible endpoint. It's why people stand at street corners with signs. It's also why people gamble at casinos. It's why loot boxes sell so well.

Humans can not resist the urge to continuously throw effort at things with rare, intermittent rewards. Cost/reward is not taken into account, only the reward. Sadly, belief in a reward is enough to trigger this. There never needs to be any actual reward.
There's an industry of get-rich-quick grifters who are telling people they can make $1000/day by submitting AI generated slurry to Kindle, Audible, or anything else that pays for writing. It's an evolution of previous schemes which used ghostwriting services to produce similar low-quality content, but of course the scam has pivoted to AI now.

It's unlikely that many of the people submitting these works are actually making much if any money, the real winners are the grifters who sold them the expensive course explaining how to do it, but the people who fall for the scam are going to try their hardest to get the ROI they were promised. Which means spraying AI diarrhea everywhere in the hope it sticks to something.
Water-intensive industrial processes can move to where the water is. Farming is more of a challenge but some crops need more water than others; there's a lot of scope for substitution.
Tree of Thoughts: Deliberate Problem Solving with Large Language Models
About 80% of that rain happens back over the ocean, and then about 25% of the rain that happens over land actually gets captured as ground water. Even that isn’t the main point though, the issue is we’re currently using water faster than rain replenishes it in many places. At worst as I understand it, in some places they’ve collapsed their aquifers by over-pulling from them, and that means less of the rainfall in those areas will be recoverable in the future. At some point we have to enter a mode where we only pull water in a way that is sustainable or we’ll suddenly find that we do indeed need desalinization to keep up with our use.
> I don’t think that ads are completely bad, there is something to the argument that they help us get better products and services because they let us know about competitors.

I could agree with this generally, but from a search engine perspective, doesn't this become very difficult to argue from? That was one of the points I was trying to make, that it is nearly antithetical for an adtech company to build what is supposedly a search engine. Page's and Brin's paper (and this has been quoted countlessly since then due to its irony) states as such

> For example, a search engine could add a small factor to search results from "friendly" companies, and subtract a factor from results from competitors. This type of bias is very difficult to detect but could still have a significant effect on the market. Furthermore, advertising income often provides an incentive to provide poor quality search results. For example, we noticed a major search engine would not return a large airline's homepage when the airline's name was given as a query. It so happened that the airline had placed an expensive ad, linked to the query that was its name. A better search engine would not have required this ad, and possibly resulted in the loss of the revenue from the airline to the search engine. In general, it could be argued from the consumer point of view that the better the search engine is, the fewer advertisements will be needed for the consumer to find what they want. This of course erodes the advertising supported business model of the existing search engines. However, there will always be money from advertisers who want a customer to switch products, or have something that is genuinely new. But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm.
I have been perfectly successful without a CS degree (I have a business degree with a focus on Information Systems). With that said, I do wish that I had the foundational knowledge that is taught in CS. I have no knowledge of DS&A, low-level languages, OS, etc. and I have not been able to dedicate the time to learn them outside the structured env of school.
I'm not sure that that the commute should count. There are certainly some instances where it should like for the SuperBowl where the works have to travel far offsite, go through screening, and then be bussed on site it should all count (its been to court; it doesn't count).

But in general, I think we've gotten to this situation because cities are happy to add jobs to their area but not housing. How much housing was bundled with any of FANG's HQs developments? Amazon's HQ2 is allegedly 14k workers that's a lot of housing!

I understand very little about (macro) economics and have no numbers to back this up — but it feels like increasing poverty is a global trend. Am I right?

If so, what is causing this (primarily)? Distribution of wealth? Productivity decline? Temporary resource misalignments? Demographic imbalance?

Unfortunately, most alternatives to Mastodon seem to be either explicitly right-wing (which you may or may not care about) or designed to copy and consume Twitter's business model, and aren't likely to be any better than Twitter in the long run.

Mastodon really is the best alternative at the moment, and it doesn't have to be difficult (although the most difficult option - self hosting your own identity server - is also the most secure.) You can find hosting solutions or even do what I (the laziest person) did and just run multiple accounts through each instance's public website and use browser bookmarks and/or a third party client. Not much more difficult than joining subreddits, but more annoying in that there is no actual shared identity between accounts. Plenty of political activists and media services are already on the platform.

But since you asked, I found some, with what seemed to be the biggest or most recent HN discussiona I could find. Absolutely no guarantees on my part regarding utility, practicality, security or whatever, though.

NASA Selects Blue Origin as Second Artemis Lunar Lander Provider
It’s not misleading at all. The best part of Tokyo’s urban design are its mixed-used neighbourhoods and extensive public transport network. As you say, that makes it great for walking and cycling. In theory.

In practice, when combined with the high density, it means that people are spending a lot of time outside, unprotected, in very close proximity to the tailpipe emissions from large volumes (often 4 or 6-lanes) of gasoline and diesel-burning trucks and cars. Often with narrow sidewalks or no sidewalks at all. They shop along the main road, their kids’ school is on the main road, their workplaces, gyms, dry cleaners, station, etc.

Lol at the people in this thread chiming in from their 3rd floor balconies in Moto-Azabu Hills. The absolute vast majority of people living in Tokyo are breathing trash air day in day out.

It’s reprehensible. They need to ban diesel trucks immediately, and they need to actively encourage people to switch to EVs.
> These are just the words of someone with no real connection to East Asia

Wrong.

Of course, I may be wrong or you may think I'm wrong, but the past really stings for some, and I have heard this first hand. And many view Japan's apologies as backhanded.
Remember that just because you know that 19% of the painting have snow and 7% have a beach, you do not have a good estimate of how many paintings have both snow and a beach.

(There is one which might qualify, but upon viewing, I don't think it actually has a beach in it.)

But how long on average does it take to boot in wall clock time?
Yeah, I’d imagine this will be cheaper than AWS RDS for low storage use cases (lack of fixed monthly compute costs wins out), but more expensive for high storage. Like quite cheap for a 10-100 GB DB, quite expensive for a 1-10 TB GB.

Though they do say:

> when we enable global read replication, you won’t have to pay extra for it, nor will replication multiply your storage consumption

With AWS you’ll have at least one read replica for failover, so $0.23/GB. And if you really want global read replicas, with AWS you might end up with something like a primary in North America and read replicas in South America, Europe and Asia. That would work out to $0.46/GB, so closes the gap a bit.
“We should improve society somewhat” vibes here. Speaking of academic challenges that are largely ineffectual: ideological purity games likes this are equally meaningless.

Either the ideas are sound, or they’re not. Which ideas do you think are unsound, and why? No hiding behind “someone could argue,” or “but she claims x but does y.”

Which ideas of Klein’s do you see as intending to affect which status quos, and why is it notable that they in themselves have not impacted them? Charles Babbage never lived to see his machine built. Does that make the endeavor less meaningful?

Note: I have read “No Logo” and “The Shock Doctrine.” I have not assessed their impact on any particular status quo. I am not claiming that they have. I am challenging the misdirection of your comment in an attempt to understand what you meant by what you wrote.

Yes, more total rain. A steady steam from the mountains is a much better source of water though to keep lakes, rivers and our water supply going. The rain isn't evenly distributed through both space and time. We might get a drought for years and then torrential rainfalls. We are already seeing this. It's happened in California and Germany. Both places I'm most tide to. So maybe it's sampling bias. At my parent's in Germany, most fir trees are dead from the multi-year drought and then in June 2021 half the village was destroyed by a flood.

It's not much, but F1 has the drag reduction system, or DRS, where the rear wing opens up, and gives cars up to 16 km/h additional speed.

Studying a language daily for four years suggests determination and willpower, yes.

But I would expect most people who have studied a language daily for four years to be able to give a talk in that language if they needed to and knew ahead of time. I'm not sure that's a non-average learning time.
Are they all trying to join NATO?

Or some of them are willing to join NATO, for their own geopolitical reasons?

And the mutual-defense agreement is not a question of "if". It is a binding agreement. It's a fact.
Since there’s no access to the ground truth here—including for Clarke—all we (or he) really know, even if this is completely honest from Clarke’s perspective, is that there is an increase in aggregate submissions and more authors are being banned for subjective reasons that Clarke believes correlate to being AI generated.

The timing may be fairly strong evidence that the source of the surge is generated AI, but whether the bans correspond to use of that significantly better than random chance is supposition. For all anyone (except the individual submitters) knows, there is just as much generative AI use in the ones getting accepted as those being rejected.
Dependency order = values are computed in the same order as they would be in a purely pull-based system, which is intrinsically glitch-free

Do you have a recipe that you prefer? I have seen a bunch of different recipes and have made it a few times with different ones. While I would agree that it isn't difficult to make, it has been pretty labor intensive when I have done it, so one of the big trade-offs for my recipe choice has been how much dandelion to use and have been curious about the tradeoffs there, though not curious enough to do any real experimenting.
> If trade deals were passed like legislation in a parliament or Congress, with time in committee and lots of room for individual legislators to add their input, there would be so much more corporate abuse it's not even funny. This would give a chance for every favored sector, major employer in a powerful legislator's district, company that the government favors at the moment etc. to add in clauses favoring them. Doing an up-or-down or vote actually greatly reduces pork.

The idea that there is less corporate interest meedling because everyting is done in secret and people can't see nor control what's happening is so ridiculous I am at loss to how you could come to this conclusion. Considering your disdain for actual democracy, I'm not surprised you like the EU in its current form.
Most prisons bait people into work via a combination of carrot and stick. Prisoners often lose privileges when they don't work, parole boards look very unfavorably on declining to work, and many prisons force prisoners to buy basic things like toothpaste and deodorant from a commissary out of their wages. Not working is not a reasonable option in the majority of cases.
RHEL uses a separate copy of python (called platform-python) for its most critical components, like the dnf package manager. I wonder why Gentoo doesn't do the same. Of course, it's pure bloat, but only until you're left

US: Real median household income was $70,784 in 2021, not statistically different from the 2020 estimate of $71,186 (Figure 1 and Table A-1). [1]

UK: Median household disposable income in the UK was £32,300 in the financial year ending (FYE) 2022, a decrease of 0.6% from FYE 2021, based on estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Household Finances Survey. [2]

I think the GP’s claims are true (the UK is poorer and many people don’t realise it). It used to be a bit less obvious when GBP was strong so you needed to look at things like PPP (or like, how good the tumble driers are) to see the difference.

They are just words on paper. They're words on paper that you can sue over if the promises are broken, of course, but that doesn't at all eliminate the fact that you have to trust the entity you're dealing with.
Largely due to inertia, consumer psychology where lower sticker prices encourage more purchases even when consumers know the checkout price will be higher, and the fact that taxes can be different based on the type of item you are buying and the exact jurisdiction you are buying it. Two identical stores across the street from each other can have different tax rates if they are in different tax jurisdictions.

The stores have the info to calculate this, and do at checkout, so it's really the first two points mostly.
