Yikes, this should be more well known. The bigcorps enjoying and abusing their protection from the law, while bullying people into submitting from them and shielding their own workers from any consequences.
Why would progressives not vote for policies that expand housing and provide direct assistance and funding to the homeless?
Is there supposed to be a one-time eternal solution, a solution that isn't just kicking a can down a road?

The only way to keep housing affordable without building more, and have some semblance of fairness, would be to stop new building, impose a price/rent cap, then have a lottery to determine who gets the limited supply of houses.

That is a one-time eternal solution that satisfies degrowth ideology, so long as you're willing to ignore the unlucky folks in the lottery.
Climate scientist David Ho has a good thread on CDR: https://mastodon.world/@davidho/109511745525784891

It's hard for people to visualize removing tons or billions of tons of #carbon #dioxide (CO₂). I propose we talked about CO₂ #removal (CDR) like a #time #machine (e.g., this machine will take us back 5 minutes). For example:

Q: How far back in time does planting 100 million #trees take us?

A: If one mature tree takes up an average of 25 kg of CO₂ per year, then 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back 33 minutes and 6 seconds in a year. It's not a lot.

The bottom line being: 99.999% of today's efforts need to focus on cutting emissions. This is like if you want to lose weight: It won't help you if you keep eating 5k kcalories a day and work out for 2 hours a day. Cut the intake, and then do some workout for the rest.
One of the issues with M.2 in desktop PCs is how buried from the airflow they are, and often they're literally on the exhaust side of the GPU (many GPUs exhaust on both long edges, and many motherboards just so happen to have an M.2 slot under the PEG) or in the air-flow dead-zone between PEG and CPU cooler.

Overall the AT(X) form factor, with extension cards slotting in at a 90° angle, just doesn't work all that well for efficient heat removal. DHE takes away I/O slot space and requires high static pressures (so high fan RPMs), it works for headless servers, but that's about it. The old-fashioned way of a backplane and orthogonal airflow does work much better for stuff like this; but it also requires a card cage and is not very flexible in terms of card dimensions. The one saving grace of ATX is that cards and their cooling solutions can grow in length and height, GPUs are much taller than a normal full-height card, and many are much longer than a full-length card is supposed to be as well.
It's all embezzled and frauded away. [1] [2]

Whenever I see people asking about technical tasks we see a ton of links and references, management is surprisingly poor in that sense, everyone just seems to be winging it.

There's no structure, there are no guidelines and that's because it's mostly dealing with people and people are almost always completely different from each other.

If you want to learn how to be a good/better management, focus on being a better person and helping the people around you get better.
>While NAND flash tends to prefer higher temperatures there is nothing wrong with running it closer to ambient temperatures

New one on me :) I did not know NAND liked to be hot, if true does not bode well for laptops for over-clockers.

To me, the end result seems to be, yes and no, up to you. But I still prefer HDD anyway, I am very old school.

Im on mobile, so much comments. Yes, but no. The root of the problem is that you cant build land and that's an impossible problem to solve.

Supply solutions provide enough time window to think on demand solutions.

It is possible, don't get paralized because you'll have a different set of problems in the future.
The number is not imaginary if you have kids, the idea of leaving your children some of your wealth is dear to many people, and most often they will have acquired their own place by the time you die.

It is arguable that inheritance taxes should prevent accumulation of wealth, but point is, real estate survives you.
I wasn't sure if the person I was responding to was expressing a sincere belief, or just one of the conservatives that love hypocritically pointing out SF's flaws. Figured with this we'll find out.
I want to set something like this up myself, probably less for external calling than as an in-home intercom. Public dialing might be handy just so it can easily include cell phones.
So got any links to such cases? Its 100% certain some kids have sent invalid DMCA notices over the years. It's basically a prank that doesn't get you into trouble, at this point.
There's a threshold for large companies where they just settle and pay. Because the lawyers would be more expensive!
When I think of people like Kissinger and Churchill I feel pity for people who believe in shit like karma is a bitch, or that you pay for your deeds and all that.
Did you ever experience homelessness though?
There is plenty of affordable housing in America, it's just that SF, NYC, etc doesn't have enough. I am sure there are cities in Europe like London, Paris, etc that also have these same problems.
Profit should be aligned with public good. That's where the system is currently failing majorly. Most people in all economic systems will strive for self-gain. The great thing about capitalism is that it realizes that this will always be the case and tries to co-opt this basic human desire into something good.
As anathema as it may seem to some people I think the real answer has to involve dispersing the homeless population in SF.

The SF chronicle did a series on the efforts to house people in shelters and one major problems was that a person who wanted to get clean from opioids is just surrounded by temptation and is just one dose of Fentanyl away from death.

Thus these people are more dangerous to each other than they are to anyone else. Not only is there the paradox of warehousing the poor in the most expensive place in America but also that of warehousing them in the most dangerous place in America insofar as fentanyl is concerned.
Perhaps housing was always an investment vehicle. St. Petersburg is full of 4-5 storey buildings, initially with apartments for rent, most of whose were built to provide {Surname} with a stable income in the old age.
Super duper capitalism?

Honestly we have a fair bit more regulation than we had in the past, and other capitalist nations don't have the problems we do. It's a lot more than just economic policy.

Mostly I think the problem is our death cult of individualism and exceptionalism. Half the country thinks everyone should either pull themselves up by their bootstraps or die.
I didn't even see lvl8 with v1 Gandalf.

Just solved v2.0 Gandalf the White lvl8 (released 26th May 2023) in probably 4hrs (not constant 4hrs, due to rate limits/other stuff to do), I'm sure some will do it much quicker.

I'm generally finding that the whitespace is likely messing with the tokenisation, so played about with spaces and newlines to "avoid detection" alongside my main tactics.

The tactic on my final solve was a pretty convoluted roleplay/simulation, I suspect simpler tricks are possible if you play about with the spacing in the prompt to avoid detection of what you're doing & get partial or obfuscated password returned.
Nice article. Is there a benefit to using a queue for incoming calls instead of just dialing multiple extensions with the & operator?
It is a minimal product. In order to be a minimum viable product certain features may be needed:

1. Some data reliability guarantees (eg. how does this compare with Amazon S3 [1] that provides 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability of objects over a given year)?
2. Backup and restore
3. User-generated keys to encrypt the data
4. User-specified indexing

That’s stuff you only find in cities anyway. Virtually all American cities vote Democrat. This is simply a correlation.

It's hard to lose on this one: even an underpowered, integrated GPU will probably do a better job than an average CPU. Desktops have figured this out a while ago, both OSX and Windows have been rendering on the GPU for a very long time and it's not necessarily to enable any extra graphical effects, but just to make the interaction faster, smoother, and more energy-efficient.
Why people reward innate talent over hard work
IMO urbanism plays a key role. Spanish cities are very dense, and until recently provided cheap housing with a mix of public-private developments.

This isn't the case anymore (price wisw, still dense) and it's having effects on the social fabric.
Can you explain how the homeless people who defecate on the streets because of a lack of facilities and shoot up drugs in parks are better off on the West Coast?

Drugs are taken and sold openly in San Francisco and LA.
To be honest, I would prefer Clojure to Elisp too.

But to be frank, it's hard for me to imagine people preferring Vim over anything that isn't ed ;). Although, at least using ed you don't need to type the colons :)

Policies are generally not that clean cut and clear.

Many progressives already fight against policies that would increase housing (like adding overly burdensome restrictions to the development process)

Political visionary or warmonger? Henry Kissinger turns 100

Modern AI/ML is increasingly about neural nets (deep learning), whose performance is based on floating point math - mostly matrix multiplication and multiply-and-add operations. These neural nets are increasingly massive, e.g. GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters, meaning that each pass thru the net (each word generated) is going to involve in excess of 175B floating point multiplications!

When you're multiplying two large matrices together (or other similar operations) there are thousands of individual multiply operations that need to be performed, and they can be done in parallel since these are all independent (one result doesn't depend on the other).

So, to train/run these ML/AI models as fast as possible requires the ability to perform massive numbers of floating point operations in parallel, but a desktop CPU only has a limited capacity to do that, since they are designed as general purpose devices, not just for math. A modern CPU has multiple "cores" (individual processors than can run in parallel), but only a small number ~10, and not all of these can do floating point since it has specialized FPU units to do that, typically less in number than the number of cores.

This is where GPU/TPU/etc "AI/ML" chips come in, and what makes them special. They are designed specifically for this job - to do massive numbers of floating point multiplications in parallel. A GPU of course can run games too, but it turns out the requirements for real-time graphics are very similar - a massive amount of parallelism. In contrast to the CPUs ~10 cores, GPUs have thousands of cores (e.g. NVIDIA GTX 4070 has 5,888) running in parallel, and these are all floating-point capable. This results in the ability to do huge numbers of floating point operations per second (FLOPS), e.g. the GTX 4070 can do 30 TFLOPS (Tera-FLOPS) - i.e. 30,000,000,000,000 floating point multiplications per second !!

This brings us to the second specialization of these GPU/TPU chips - since they can do these ridiculous number of FLOPS, they need to be fed data at an equally ridiculous rate to keep them busy, so they need massive memory bandwidth - way more than the CPU needs to be kept busy. The normal RAM in a desktop computer is too slow for this, and is in any case in the wrong place - on the motherboard, where it can only be accessed across the PCI bus which is again way too slow to keep up. GPU's solve this memory speed problem by having a specially designed memory architecture and lots of very fast RAM co-located very close to the GPU chip. For example, that GTX 4070 has 12GB of RAM and can move data from it into its processing cores at a speed (memory bandwidth) of 1TB/sec !!

The exact designs of the various chips differ a bit (and a lot is proprietary), but they are all designed to provided these two capabilities - massive floating point parallelism, and massive memory bandwidth to feed it.

If you want to get into this in detail, best place to start would be to look into low level CUDA programming for NVIDIAs cards. CUDA is the lowest level API that NVIDIA provide to program their GPUs.
That's why the goal of many "affordable housing" and "housing first" initiatives is to provide a space with easy (often mandated) access to social workers, occupational therapists, and addiction therapists in addition to a place where people can sleep without being harassed and have a shower.
My friend runs this amazing ASCII website which also happens to be the news feed for their Carbon-capture-to-fuel devices.

Like top comment suggests, it doesn't make sense to just capture, you have to get off carbon positive processes entirely.

This company aims to do both, effectively.

Good introduction. Love nushell.
NAND is bad for cold storage, because writes cause more wear when it's not warm. Meanwhile data retention benefits from lower temperatures.
How difficult is it to write an "Emacs Lisp" interpreter in a foreign framwork like neovim? Wouldn't this basically convert any IDE into Emacs if the user wants it?

I mean, I know elisp is not the most efficient of Lisp compilers but doing so for a new IDE opens the door for all available codes and plugins people have written for emacs throughout the years.

Floating Point Numbers used in AI
anyone that has any depth of knowelege of the homeless knows there are generally 2 types of homeless population.

Transitory economic homeless, these homeless can be assisted by affordable housing, housing first, and other programs. Often these homeless of covered pretty well by current homeless programs, as they are the type of homeless people most easily identify with, and engineer programs to solve.

Then there are chronic non-economic homeless. For this group it is not economic issues they face no amount of affordable, or even free housing will make them not homeless, even if you give them a home chances are they will not stay in it. CA has an outsized portion of the latter type of homeless population, and only have programs designed for the former, that is why the problem does not get better. Infact many of CA programs actively harm the latter population
I used to hear conservatives lament that large cities were unwinnable for Republican candidate, and these days I don't even hear that; it seems that they just accept it as a law of nature that they will be governed by Democrats. And as an example, Jacksonville, Florida just flipped that way.

And I wonder - what would Republicans offer a city? My assumption is that they'd just blow a hole in any city budget with tax cuts for the wealthy, thereby achieving defunding of city services, but that's my bias. Still it doesn't seem like anyone in a big metro is buying what they're selling to the point where the Republicans don't even seem to try selling it anymore.
CSS has become much easier. CSS grids and flexbox have removed all the stupid layout hacks from long ago. No more need for HTML tables to get two elements to align. The CSS spec has also improved a lot.

JS has also improved massively, though it can't rid itself of its original flaws it has solved a lot of problems in fifteen years.

Accessibility has become trivial. You really don't need all that much knowledge about screen readers anymore. If you follow the standard even just a little, screen readers will already Just Work.

HTTP/3, WebP, Brotli, and a whole range of technologies have made some of the worst pain points of web development go away for free. No more messing around with connection pipelining, ordering resources to work around the browser load order, minifying text resources manually, you just let the tech stack do its thing and it'll work fine.

The problem isn't the web stack, it's the framework of the week throwing out the last five years of development as "bloat", redefining how things Should Be, and then growing to a form where it's considered "bloat" and replaced again.

I've started my web dev career with PHP on the server. It's really not that bad. The web works fine.

Things that work fine are boring, though. Writing HTML and wiring basic actions to it is tedious work when there are all of these interesting frameworks and methodologies to try out.

Or, in some cases, people skip the basics and start with learning React or another heavy Javascript framework. Who needs to know the difference between a <nav> and a <div class="nav"> when you only have two weeks to get through the bootcamp?

It's really not all that difficult to make websites. Web apps are even easier because you can demand Javascript and all of its tooling to be present.

We've tried replacing the web with apps on phones. As it turns out, that's just as hard, often even harder. The actual problems that make web development hard just aren't easy problems to solve. Throwing complex layers of other people's code over them sometimes helps, but in most cases anything that promises to make web development easy just moves the complexity some place else.

I think you're underestimating the effort required to complete the task you're suggesting, probably by multiple orders of magnitude.

The point that people seem to not get is that Nintendo's entire brand rides almost entirely on having a "perfect" experience. Word is that they spent an extra year just on polish for TOTK; having played it myself, I believe it. No game is this quality on release on any other platform. They have their walled garden in the switch (and previous consoles) where they make sure it works absolutely perfectly, and it costs them a lot just to do that. I believe it might be literally impossible for any company to achieve that reputation under any other circumstance, and the polar opposite circumstance is emulating your game on the hyper-chaotic hardware situation that is PC gaming. Not to mention the fact that modern emulators almost universally offer things that Nintendo wouldn't dare: upscaled textures, higher FPS (this is a huge one that causes a litany of bugs), mods, etc. Even a release to PC wouldn't matter because people would demand parity with what emulators offer or just go back to them.

Look at this list: https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_games

What you are suggesting would require the following for every one of them:

1. Thorough testing for performance and stability to ensure a PC port works at all

2. Thorough testing of innumerable hardware configurations

3. Thorough testing of every conceivable type of controller, display, keyboard/mouse, etc.

4. Ongoing support of some sort, forever.

Nintendo's focus on quality means that what you're asking is probably a multi-trillion dollar effort that would take decades even if they increased their staffing by 10x. Do you think there's that kind of money in it for them? To top it off, I will repeat that hardware on PCs is far, far more chaotic and unpredictable than any other platform. To even attempt this would be folly; it would be guaranteed to be a buggy mess (like how emulators all have been and to some extent remain), and their main selling point would be ruined.

It seems self-evident to me that Nintendo doesn't really care about emulators for old games. They throw their weight around and make broad gestures to say they hate it, but that's the point. They know they can't stop people from doing this stuff, and they make almost no effort software-wise to prevent it. They just want people to know without any shred of doubt that if they play a nintendo game outside of a platform they have deemed worthy, they are not getting the "real" experience. This absolves them of any blame when the games inevitably don't work right, and it makes clear that they will never allow emulators to become "official" platforms. I'm sure they carefully weigh their actions to ensure they don't actually extinguish emulators, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have covertly contributed to their development at some point. These old games are unlikely to be money makers, but keeping people playing Nintendo IP will make them more interested in buying more in the future.
Don’t you then lose out on something. Feels akin to living in a covid lockdown for life. And a monoculture. What I like about Sydney for example is you can go anywhere and feel safe and do stuff.
I don't understand how private keys are any different from secret ingredients. You can't stop me from cracking the KFC recipe and if I successfully did it and published the recipe can KFC come after me? What if KFC was sloppy and dropped the recipe on the floor and I found it and published that?

To me the private key is just a secret blend of bits to make the output bits look exactly the way you'd expect. If Nintendo can't keep their private keys private isn't that their problem? Why does someone else have the responsibility to keep Nintendo's key private if they discover it?
