A lot of full-on junkies will essentially trade their public housing apartments to dealers who use it as as safe spot to deal out crack/heroin. The dealers don't operate our of their own house for safety so they hire junkies and use their places as distribution centers in exchange for 'free' drugs, while still letting them sleep in their bedrooms.

Then the apartments eventually turn into crack dens. Eventually the door gets kicked in by police and the dealers find another person willing to exchange free drugs to let them use their place. Plus the junkies going in/out of jail and their apartment gets used when they aren't there.

This sort of thing puts a ton of pressure on the normal families trying to live in those apartment buildings. A small group can definitely ruin entire floors of those apartments.

The other hesitation with “housing first” is that it’s associated with housing projects, aka ghettos. I’ve seen The Wire (2002-2008). Is what they’re going to build for the homeless going to be like that? Is it going to be where my kids play? Is it going to be where I walk my dog at night?

It’s called NIMBYism in the Bay Area and elsewhere.

The Urbanist is an advocacy journal, off course it is a propaganda.

> The Urbanist serves to examine and influence urban policies by promoting and disseminating ideas, creating community, and improving the places we live. Founded in 2014, the organization provides daily news coverage and opinion in the advocacy journalism tradition along with social and educational events. The Urbanist is based in Seattle and registered as a nonprofit 501(c)(4) entity.

However it is not nonsense. We proletariat read the Urbanist because it provides us with valuable propaganda. It may rile us up—and perhaps that is intended—but it also provides things in context, and in this case it provides us with data—evidence if you will—that what we have always said turns out to be true. The rich can afford to pay more taxes, the state would benefit, and that the taxation laws until now have been extremely unfair.

The term "link tax" is always a bit of a misnomer. It is a tax for copying small snippets, which those companies would claim fair use on.

I am unsure what is the most appropriate way. Fair use laws was never designed with the idea of facebook copying news segments, search copying whole segments of websites and inline them, google making full copies of every page of every book, machine learning models, and so on. It also seem to have failed rather extremely with sites like youtube. All those cases of fair use also happens to only provide rights to large companies with hordes of lawyers. Anything smaller just get gunned down with copyright claims and strikes.

I can imagine someone trying to write a bot that join every public facebook group and copy a snippet of every comment that is being made (with a helpful link if anyone want to read the full text) and publish that outside of facebook and their ads. How fast would that bot be kicked out by facebook?
Personally I would lean away from radix sort once the problem size gets too large, on Turing they made the per-SM L1 cache coherent and on Ampere they made L2 cache significantly larger so getting maximum throughput requires more actively designing for cache-friendly access patterns. The access pattern of radix sort will be very strided, so you get low cache utility for those longer distance swaps. If your problem fits into shared memory or even registers (for in-warp shuffles) then definitely, radix sort is super efficient!

Memory coalescing probably got a little more lenient than when you were programming. If any group of threads in a warp is accessing a 128B size-and-aligned region of memory, that’s perfectly matched the 128B line size between L1TEX cache and L2 cache and you get coalesced accesses. Even 32B size-and-aligned (e.g. each pair of threads accesses two halves of a 32B region) isn’t all that bad, since it aligns with the 32B L2 cache line size to global memory. You run the risk of getting poor load/store utility if you don’t access the other 96B in that L1TEX line somewhere in the same block, though.

Constant memory is less important than it used to be, since constant memory goes through the texture memory, and the L1 cache was unified and combined with the texture cache. There’s still an LDG.CONSTANT SASS instruction on Turing, though, so there’s still a difference in the hardware that escapes me right now. IIRC you can write a MOV instruction with the source operand in constant memory (rather than LDG.CONSTANT) which doesn’t put load on the load-store unit (LSU). Could be useful if you’re getting warp stalls due to memory pipe throttling.

My disagreement with "housing first" is that the state should provide housing indirectly by building regular housing and bringing home prices down along with price regulation and redeveloping urban areas with apartments and condos.

I.e.: the housing market is thr problem in cali, not people being homeless (that is just one symptom).

I see in the paper that they used 800K and 1M culture neurons . The device in question however (MaxOne) has a size of 8 square mm. I m not sure if the cells they plated can actually be recorded/ stimulated as the device is rather high resolution with 26400 densely packed electodes that can record from multiple spots of a single neuron. In typical recordings from these there are much fewer neurons in culture

> What's the problem with Section 10?

Per the Money Stuff article, Section 10 has a higher burden of proof. For a shareholder to win a lawsuit under section 10, they need to show that the disclosures were deliberately misleading, such that the board was trying to defraud investors.

Under a section 11 lawsuit, however, they only need to show that the disclosures were materially wrong: proof of motivation isn't required in the same way.
Which audit requires DNSSEC? SOC2 certainly doesn't. ISO doesn't. HITRUST doesn't. PCI doesn't. FedRAMP might (we'll see how much longer that remains the case).

Most firms aren't DNSSEC-signed, most especially those with well-resourced security teams, the kind that collect all the available audit certifications because they have teams dedicated to doing that.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's impossible. But I think it's a lot harder to learn to love yourself if you're always depending on external validation.

I have long questioned the "deeply meaningful friendships very quickly" thing.

A while back I set up a model of relationships that's something like a probability cloud.
When you first meet someone they have whatever your standard probability cloud is of actions they might take. The only way someone can really hurt you is by acting outside of that probability cloud. As you get to know someone the list of actions that you expect in their probability cloud changes pretty dramatically.

I have a 'friend' who isn't a close friend, but I was friends with both him and his partner. He cheated on his partner (probably, I don't know for sure, but it's sorta moot, and I believe that he did). And I remained friends with both of them, in spite of feeling like this was a really shitty thing for him to do, because at the end of the day it wasn't really outside of what I expected for him. He didn't wrong me, because he consistently acted in the way I expected him to.

That said, I also don't have a deep friendship with him, because at a certain point I realized that it wasn't the kind of friendship I would want with him.

There are a few things that would make Brazil a lot more stable economically (and even socially and politically) if we achieved self-sufficiency:

Fossil fuels: Currently, Brazil is self-sufficient in oil, but we export petrol to buy back refined fuels (gasoline and diesel). If we were self-sufficient in fossil fuels we would be much more immune to inflation every time OPEC decides to reduce oil output.

Wheat: We are the top of the world exporting foods. We produce 6x our current need. Nevertheless, we still need imported wheat. Ukraine war and dollar variations literary affect our bread.

Fertilizers: The largest world food producer needs imported fertilizers. The irony: our main supplier is Russia. This basically prevents Brazil taking any side in the conflict and affects our (and our buyers) food prices as much as wheat.

Achieving self-sufficiency in these three areas would be like a second independence for us (first was when we got free from Portugal).

Regarding #1, #2 and #3:

Most people no longer own their shares directly. Most online self-clearing brokerages are "nominee" accounts where shares are held in the brokerages' name rather than the end customer's name. Owning specific shares in one's own name would be a "direct" account.

This is also how fractional shares are handled. Share ownership is a ledger at the brokerage, not an actual stock registered in your name.

Nominee brokerage accounts are cheap and fast.
> Where your problem lies is what happens when you optimize that code. And guaranteeing optimizations do something superficially sane on unsound code while still performing reasonable and obvious optimizations for well-formed code is insanely hard.

It really depends on the type of optimization.

A lot of the scariest results come when the compiler treats code as dead, and in very many cases you could go ahead and emit the code anyway and performance would be fine.

If I was the government and wanted to turn Americans against Russia so any anti-Russian military movement was supported by the American people, I'd use known Russian hacking techniques against political campaigns and then encourage those campaigns to privately hire security researchers to agree it was the Russians.

Alternatively, if I wanted to accuse my political opponent of being a Russian stooge, I'd do the same thing. You wouldn't even have to be under the scrutiny of a three letter agency. Just find a security researcher that will agree with you for a lot of money.

> I always thought this was simply shorthand for something like: "I own shares #1034852, #1092647, and #2986246".

Nope, (private) shares are almost always fungible and not numbered/serialized in any way.

In fact most shares are just a name followed by a number of shares in an excel spreadsheet or Google sheet at best, if not simply a declaration in founding documents.

> People sometimes own 0.25 shares of a company, but I thought that this was a convenience invented by stock brokers like Fidelity and Robinhood.

Again, no. Fractional shares are very normal. Any time shares are created (via dilution, additional investment, etc.) some existing grants and holdings are likely to become fractional. Usually fractional shares are calculated to the third or fourth decimal place.

Many shareholders in the forementioned spreadsheet will have their share amount tied to a % calculation which will inevitably resolve to a fractional share amount.

Say a share is worth $500, are you okay with $500 rounding errors? I wouldn't be. With 4 decimals the maximum rounding error becomes an immaterial 5 cents.
I took a combination linear algebra/series course in college and barely remembered anything from it. Years later, when I was learning 3D graphics, almost any time I did matrix-matrix or matrix-vector multiplication, I had to look up a formula or painfully work through remembering how it worked. My attempts to memorize the simple algorithm all failed.

Then I bought Strang's book, watched the OCW lectures, and did the homework. Now any time I have to do or think about a matrix multiplication, Strang's voice echoes in my head, "combinations of columns." There is something special about his words, his tone of voice, and his repetition, which all together make it click for me.
Why might re FedRAMP?
My point is simply that policy should be based on what is effective and humane. Keeping people housed only based on the contingency of their sobriety is neither. Under no circumstances is it better for someone to be unhoused than housed. Housing should be a human right, full stop.
There were a lot of people avoiding medical treatment or diagnosis out of fear of Covid at hospitals and medical clinics, and this led to extensive delays in elective surgeries and delayed diagnosis of medical conditions such as cancer. Thus, fear of Covid resulted in numerous excess deaths. There were other factors too, like increased traffic deaths due to increased reckless driving due to emptier roads due to pandemic lockdowns.

It's also disingenuous to say that all deaths of people who had Covid were due to Covid. Many of them who caught Covid while in hospital for serious conditions would have died regardless of Covid.
This really comes down to how and how well/mindful the website was put together.

> Drugs, mental illness, and sometimes just bad decision making skills.

Any explanation which comes down to personal decisions has to account for the fact that many other developed countries have avoided the same dystopian hell of inequality as the Bay Area and likely have similar distributions of behavior. Are people in California just more prone to using drugs, being mentally ill and making bad decisions? No. In civilized places, if you mess up a little (or even a lot) the consequence should not be to sleep on the street. It’s a moral failing at a societal level.
This may be the first study using electrical stimulation, however, similar research has shown TCMS (magnetic), auditory stimulation, light stimulation, and haptics having the same results.

At https://soundmind.co we are working with auditory stimulation (sound) - a selection of research can be found at https://soundmind.co/research.

The mechanism this is believed to work through is essentially interrupting the brain during slow-wave sleep which causes the brain to increase the synchronized firing of neurons.

The impact is on more than just memory, downregulation of sympathetic nervous system during sleep, improved immune function, and more.
Honestly it seems like the best practice is always just "read Money Stuff".

I'm not a serious follower of financial news, but various things do come across my radar, and since I've subbed to the email version of Money Stuff (about a year now), I always feel like I'm a week ahead of everyone else (again, at this not-serious-follower level, not a week ahead of the folks who are genuinely in the know). Like all the Twitter lawsuit stuff, all the FTX-fraud stuff, a bunch of LLMs-in-finance-and-law stuff lately... on all of those issues Levine kept me better informed, a week earlier, than every HN article put together. (Note that the HN comments are how I found out about Money Stuff in the first place)

One of my college CS textbooks had an anecdote in it where the Australian military once had a bug in flight training software that ended with kangaroos in the simulation pulling out AK47s and RPGs to shoot down the helicopter pilot.

The story was meant to make a point about class inheritance. No idea of that ever actually happened and I assume it didn't, but it was a great thought experiment to make a point if nothing else.

In this case whether its a though experiment or an actual event during one simulation, the point is important and it shines a light on real world risks if and when AI is given direct control over UAVs.

Money Stuff doesn't say it'll be the end of direct listings, but they do say that section 10 is much harder to sue under and therefore removing section 11 limits the company's liability a lot. It doesn't seem that far fetched to go from there to "so investors will avoid the risk".
