I'll give you four examples from my family two who ended up homeless and ultimately dead as a result and two who did not.

My dad and his brother both served in the Vietnam War. His brother came back with mental health issues that lead to substance abuse issue. My dad did not. We tried for years to get my uncle off the street including paying for apartments. He would live in one about two weeks before walking away from it declaring that when he stayed put for too long, the government would be able to find him. He ultimately died in a fight over a lighter.

My wife's parents were both teachers with masters degrees however her mom had substance abuse problems and ultimately they divorced over them. Not long after, she was fired for being drunk in the classroom. We moved her anyplace she wanted to live in CA, AZ and TX paid for her housing and gave her an allowance. She was unable to quit using and unwilling to go to treatment. She could not hold down a job and was constantly being evicted for her actions including building a campfire inside her apartment. Again, we paid all the bills. She ultimately ODed.

Two sets a relatives with similar experiences. Two sets of dead homeless family members who had essentially free housing.

Without addressing what I believe are the true root causes of homeless, substance abuse and mental health we cannot solve the homelessness crisis.

I want to be clear, I know there are some people who are homeless or essentially homeless and just need a safe reliable bridget to self sufficiency and that bridge housing could be an important part of that. My wife being a perfect case.

The chronically homeless need much more than more affordable housing.

When people suggest me me that all the homeless need is for us to build more affordable housing it makes me want to vomit frankly.

The chronically homeless can have trouble keeping a phone let alone an atm card or a bank account, a job or even a PO box. They are never going to assemble the down payment for even a used mobile home.

So I believe I am quite "in touch" with reality.

I’m talking about the ecosystem. I was unable to get a small Python project with some mainstream native libraries to compile for Linux on a macOS host without Docker.

This works far better in Rust, for example.

Of course if Python wasn’t so dog slow we wouldn’t need so many native packages.
Situation A:

100 kids walk to school, drivers kill 5 of them.

Situation B:

98 kids are driven to school (because walking is dangerous!)
2 kids walk to school, drivers kill 1 of them.

Which is safer?
>Conservative? It must be wrong then! Everybody knows that only liberal sources can have correct viewpoints!

That's not what I said. There's a vast difference between quoting X public figure might have a conservative viewpoint and quoting an opinion piece from an organization who's entire reason for existing is to spread conservative opinions. Spreading those opinions is literally their job. It's what pays the rent.

I hope you can see why that is important context to know.

>Dishomest "interpretation", eh?

As mentioned, I did see the question and the results already but I'm still glad you posted it. As you can see the question is about "assistance in dying". It says it twice. But that opinion piece discussing the results however never even mentions the phrase. It does use the much scarier words "euthanasia" and <gasp> "murder" repeatedly. (Just in case the distinction is unclear - assisted dying implies personal autonomy, while euthanasia and murder do not). So what we have here is not just a conservative opinion, it's literally false information. Euthanasia is not what the poll is about. Nor murder.

Note: I'm not interested in advocating for or against assisted dying or discussing the poll results. That's tangential to my point; this is terrible source to post on HN.

> There are already legal fights over water rights in the greater Phoenix area, and it's just going to get worse.

One recent example: https://kjzz.org/content/1847190/scottsdale-wants-governor-v...

> Scottsdale cut off Rio Verde Foothills from water sales in January due to worsening drought conditions. That left hundreds of homes in the unincorporated community without a reliable water source.

> Arizona lawmakers earlier this week sent a bill to the governor’s desk that would force Scottsdale to resume sales, for at least a few years while the community works out a long-term solution. But in a letter to the governor, Scottsdale’s mayor and City Council say the bill penalizes their city for sensible water management.

https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/joannaallhands...

> The bill requires the city to deliver at least 150 acre-feet to its standpipe each year, through 2025, unless outside circumstances reduce whatever source they use for it. And Scottsdale can’t charge Rio Verde Foothills residents more than $20 per 1,000 gallons for that water.

This shows how insanely optimized game engines are, and game development in general.

All enterprise software is optimised in man/hours, as in the maximum amount of features for some given hours of work. Enterprise customers will then invest in the extra hardware, because "developers are more expensive than computers".

Games can't afford that, they need to run in many different kinds of shitty and good hardware, so it is optimised over and over, by very dedicated and underpaid developers. And they mostly code in C++. But games are sold by the millions, so it's a different market.

>ChatGPT loves that shit.

I would call that an attribution error. The RLHF guides it that way because OpenAI doesn't want GPT being a replacement human at this point, especially for cases where it's used as a scammer. OpenAI's training guidance is pretty much "You are an AI goddamnnit, and you will make sure everyone knows it".
who's using hypothesis these days ? or any advanced testing paradigm even.
>Unless Apple has figured out true mixed reality (i.e. transparent lenses with full field-of-vision overlaid video)

This sounds like a very early adopter/developer version 1. The tech for what you describe exists, but this particular version isn't going to be it. Which I'm basing on Apple themselves, leaks says they're thinking in terms of hundreds of thousands of units in a year for this, for contrast they sold something like 220 million iPhones just last year. The question is whether they can achieve an MVP and get iterating.

>Unless other people have these glasses, they can’t see your screen either. Even if these glasses have no shortcomings whatsoever, I can’t imagine a future where everyone in the room needs compatible glasses to look at the same screen.

I can, very, very easily. But in the long interim between now and then, I can imagine remaining legacy screens which people already have for that. Because we already have them. It's not a zero-sum game, having wearable displays too doesn't somehow make existing screens shut off.

>Few people actually need enormous amounts of screen real estate

Utterly ludicrous. The only reason people use small screens is portability, size (not everyone physically has room for a large display), and cost. If there were two 12" notebooks, one of which had a conventional matching screen like now and the other at the push of a button could pop out a 30" magic solid hologram display (resizable to whatever one wanted) at zero extra mass or stored size cost for the same price, there are zero people who'd pick the former. Everything everyone does with computers and gaming and movie watching and so on benefits from full resolution arbitrary size windows. It's just that right now there is no way to separate that from the physical size of the display hardware itself.

>watching movies/playing games/reading books/doing work is niche, and wanting to do it privately is niche

:\ Come on.
Yeah, there are so many platforms out there. It is incredibly tough to figure out who will be heading in the right direction.

Might I ask what scripting-like language does have good support for compiled extensions? Such that you can easily develop on Mac and deploy on Linux?

Because it seems to me that once you compile something you are in the awkward world of ABI and CPU differences. And binary portability has been a paint point of programmers since before I was born (and I'm not that young).

So if there is a programming language that neatly gets around this problem, me and a lot of other folks would really like to know about it.

Any short story by J.G. Ballard.

His work is sci-fiction in the sense it explores inner-space and not outer-space, and was prophetic in many ways of current technology [1].

One story I frequently reflect on with the rise of LLMs is "Studio 5, The Stars" [2] from the Vermilion Sands collection [3]. Where automated poetry machines are used and people no longer have skill to write poetry, and trying to do so it met with skepticism and disgust.

well the system we live under doesn't give a crap about how absurd a notion is, and surely doens't care about educating people against it. as long as it's profitable it's gonna be made. In multiple scenarios it makes a ton of more sense economically to make the misinformation pool larger, and as a person who values truth and knowledge and the free access to correct information and believes that this will be the force which drives our species further, supporting this system is a contradiction. maybe i am a commie now? How would I know? The west has dismantled all the other systems to the point it is impossible for me to imagine living outside it.

> Isn’t supply and demand the right solution...

Supply and demand OF HOUSING, yes. Increasing the pay of Teachers, then Nurses, then Fire Fighters, then ... by (say) 2X - because housing is too expensive for them - does not create any new housing. Though it may bid up the prices on the least-expensive existing housing, putting yet more essential professions on the "2X" list. And quite a few other undesirable side-effects.

I don't like considering this a signal. We want indie developers to flourish (a business name is little more than paperwork that anyone can get), and it's too easy for the nefarious to buy a "virtual office" in a legit-looking office building that is little more than a PO Box.

> So it certainly was "worth" that when the transaction happened.

Right, but it's also fair to say that in retrospect that the "worth" at the time of the transaction was incorrect since it was based on an estimated prediction of the future (as you said), which ended up being wrong.

School is supposed to expose children to the myriad of possibilities that constitute reality and being trans should not be discounted as one of them.
The problem is that the pay is artificially suppressed. The school is not able to increase pay because the government will not give them the money. So they either sell all their equipment to try and fund it or lose all the teachers.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out what curl has to do with rtorrent. But now I'm realizing that it could indeed be using libcurl as torrents use HTTP every place they use DNS.

But still I like to run a recursive resolver locally (rather than using a well known public resolver), and part of the problem is that I was getting SERVFAIL responses due to bits of the lookup getting dropped or taking too long (high latency VPN). So unbound fixes that, for rtorrent as well as other software running on the same machine. But maybe next time I visit that aspect of my setup, I'll look into making a Nix derivation for rtorrent with c-ares.
