The local political / NGO class are corrupt and in bed with the local construction companies. They all live in the same nice gated neighborhoods, go to the same clubs and schools, intermarry each other, etc. And so they all profit from this cycle of developing land on the taxpayers dime then letting it get trashed by the homeless. All the while the homeless continue to terrorize the general public, providing the impetus to keep this grift going.

The general public gets terrorized by the homeless and vote for any politician that offers a solution. The politicians offer 'solutions' that only enrich themselves and their NGO/developer friends (more money for more housing!), while not actually addressing the problem of homeless terrorizing the general public. The homeless just keep doing what they do, enabled by the politicians who seek to keep them locked into their destructive lifestyles while pretending to help. The homeless are given de facto permission to continue harassing regular people in the street, vandalizing and stealing from shops, wander through working class neighborhoods screaming in the middle of the night, etc.) They are permitted to do all of this because it keeps the pressure on the general public to vote for the corrupt politicians who profit from it.

The only way to break this cycle is to clue the public into the dynamic, but most people who figure it out will move away for greener pastures, instead of sticking around and trying to reform local politics.

Update 3: Reddit effectively kills off third party apps
I guess you're right about that. Do you need cycles of two weeks for that? (Scrum officially doesn't force two-week cycles, but it's still the norm)

Confused; they say to wait for hominid remains to be discovered before claiming it was early hominids that made the stone flakes.

Who else? Pelicans? Aliens? Of course they were made by early hominids, right?
> So, no, what people who don't want upzoning don't want is change. Change in traffic, change in privacy, change in noise, etc.

Thank you for that perspective. From the AI side, I think it’s funny how there can be so much simultaneous interest in both “AI writing”, which is exactly as you say, and “AI summarization”, which is like inverting the AI writing function to retrieve the prompt data.

An absurd, but seemingly likely, end state of this is an arms race between the two technologies, completely transparent to the user, and resulting in roughly the same user experience, which is always set to the limit of their tolerance.
I find software archeology like this very interesting.

My understanding is that this lispy looking language, we will call it scummL, compiles to a stack based virtual machine which is what the game executable would run. scummvm is a third party opensource reverse engineering project to replicate the virtual machine so that games written to it can be played in current execution environments.

Are there any compilers for scummL known to exist in the wild? I found scummC but it is more C-ish in specification.

At my last place they wanted everyone to assign 'effort' numbers to tasks in the scrum tool, and we had to write something to generate a nag report if the weekly effort per person didn't add up to a particular number.

What happened? Well, a per-sprint task to track overhead and PTO is what happened. Which many people just added 40 hours of effort to.
Ok, they might had advanced technology. How did they lost it? Against what? Why didn't the contemporary people to the Indians depict them as semigods?

> Now imagine tightening those restrictions a bit.

Yep, that's one approach, though that's just as hard to compile as one that is defined to trap and end execution on an out-of-bounds write.

As I said up-thread, it's possible to define a C dialect without UB, it's just not what most of its users actually want out of the language, since on current hardware it adds significant runtime overhead.

> The machine [...] the compiler

Isn't QEMU both the machine and the compiler (EDIT: perhaps better-put, what's the distinction? They're both just the implementation.) The bytes only need to be unchanged on read from inside the program; if you compile them to something else, that's fine. Prolog programs can introspect with clause/2 and it doesn't cause trouble there.
How is policy directed?

I'm in Los Angeles and it's mostly by business and real estate interests.

Republicans, like Rick Caruso, run as Democrats because that's how you get elected here. It's a meaningless label.

They'll do culture war signaling like support for pride month to their Twitter feed but when it comes to actual policy, for instance, the "defunding" of the LAPD which just last month included 780 more police, a new helicopter ... https://knock-la.com/lapd-budget-2023-increase/ an increase of $118,000,000, it's a different story.

On homelessness, actual leftists advocate for strong regulation on housing costs, bans on speculation, criminalization of landlords who do illegal evictions, seizing of idle real estate for redistributive housing, things like that.

You may disagree, but that's what the actual left position is. It's not buying new helicopters for the cops or giving them 100 million to do encampment sweeps where they throw away medication and wheelchairs and then classify it as "homeless abatement".

The policy, in practice, is increased money for police, shelters without storage or mail services, encampment sweeps, and a blind eye to landlord and market forces. In a Venn diagram with most conservative approaches, it's a pretty significant crossover.

Check out this guy. He built what calls a "carb cheater". It's a Chevy Idle Air Controller (IAC) from a TBI setup, and is essentially a very controlled vacuum leak. Using it, he's been able to get some pretty impressive feats done. Might be the level of hackery you're looking for. It doesn't do timing, but this is the right kind of tinkering you're looking for, I think.

OK, the one I am thinking of was definitely different.

But I definitely owned and played that second Hugo game!

I am going to have to dig into this tonight and see what I come up with.

ETA: It's also possible my memory is totally wrong. Or as well, that it was just some lone dev who barely got his game published. I definitely remember buying it from the bargain bin of crap PC games.
personally I don't use the magic mouse or the touch pad (only if I work remotely and i have the macbook with me) but the magic mouse is terrible compared to normal mouse.

Strings can point anywhere in the malloc'ed region:

char buffer[] = "railroad";
char *s = buffer;
char *t = buffer + 4;
printf("mult: %ld\n", strlen(s) * strlen(t));

Suppose I read 100 bytes, formatted as "{name}\t{rank}\t{serial number}\t" using variable length parts.

I can read the data into a single string buffer, replace the commas with NULs, and set up strings pointing to the middle of the buffer;

typedef struct {char buf[101], char *name, char *rank, char *serialno} person;

/* 100 bytes formatted as: name\trank\tserial no\t. */
int read_data(FILE *f, person *p) {
char *s;
if (fread(p->buf, 1, 100, f) != 100) return -1;
p->buf[100] = 0;
p->name = p->buf;
if ((s = strchr(p->buf, '\t') == NULL) return -2;
*s = 0;
p->rank = s+1;
if ((s = strchr(s+1, '\t') == NULL)) return -2;
*s = 0;
p->serialno = s+1;
if ((s = strchr(s+1, '\t') == NULL)) return -2;
*s = 0;
return 0;
}

person subject;
if (read_data(stdin, &subject)) fail("cannot read.");
print("Hello %s %s.\n", subject.rank, subject.name);
...

Even better, the protocol might have NUL characters already in the code, expecting C strings to point to the correct start.

My shitty, snarky comment aside, I am genuinely curious about why someone would choose Oracle as a cloud provider. If you look at their capex spend, it's undeniable they have so vastly underinvested in their cloud compared to AWS, Azure and GCP, that even if you were an "Oracle shop" I'm genuinely curious what benefits their cloud would offer.

Edit: Just want to say I really do appreciate the responses, lots of good info! I didn't know Oracle cloud offered a decent free tier, will take a look.

It has burnt down and been rebuilt many times in it's history.

Just like we are rebuilding with original stones and techniques, one should perhaps argue that it should also be rebuilt with its original fire resilience too - ie. Low.

At this point, a fire once every hundred years or so is part of the culture, and to stop doing that is in a way destroying the character of the cathedral.
Cross cloud is really complex and error prone. You'll probably cause more outages than you'll prevent by going down that path.

Maybe you should consider moving to a major cloud provider that has better services.
We need universal basic income. We just introduced AI that will take millions of people's jobs. We must reframe how we view humans now. We're no longer work mules. AI can do it.

I'm glad they aren't just buying up existing housing stock. We have a housing shortage, and subsidizing demand will just further send prices up for everyone else. Net new housing, even if more expensive, will do far more good overall.
That’s neat. What’s the total volume per day? Are the passwords themselves being escaped in the final UI rendering? Otherwise you’d have an XSS for a password like “<script>/* code */<script>".

EDIT: Unless it's happening on the server side where it's being saved, I don't think they're being escaped:

col1.innerHTML = '<span class="fi fi-' + msg.cc + '" title="' + msg.cc + '"></span> ' + msg.src;
col2.innerHTML = msg.proto;
col3.innerHTML = '<code>' + msg.u + '</code>';
col4.innerHTML = '<code>' + msg.p + '</code>';

Born Under Punchcards: When Govt Met Web 2.0
That's not right in my estimation. The correction would be that there are lots of famous people that you don't hate, but that plenty of other people do. Your simple bias is that you assume that your hatreds and who you give passes to are a type of common sense. The truth is that your hatreds are as nonsensical to a wide variety of others as those of others seem to you (when they aren't being ignored by you, again via bias).
It looks like the tide has quickly turned and the AI doomers (who were mostly just in it for personal gain) overplayed their hand and are now being roundly mocked.

It almost looks like another mini mass psychosis.

Yeah no, this is what I called out in another thread. Corner crossing is legal, because making it so they can’t corner cross (or otherwise access the land) is illegal - The Inclosures Act of 1885. But the locals want to pretend the federal law doesn’t exist, because it lets them defacto capture this public federal land.

Still doesn’t make what the hunters did illegal, or what the rancher did legal. But it’s why it got to this point.
It's just been quite useful in my own R&D work, so thought I would try it a few times today to connect the discussion to actual primary sources from research.

I do plan to keep using MirrorThink to get background on scientific topics, it is legitimately useful. But yeah, definitely not ready for actually generating proper replies.

They've been getting piles of money from Ryzen for 5-6 years now. How long am I supposed to wait?

According to the latest ROCm release notes, it supports Navi 21. Well, at least the pro models. It doesn't even mention the 5000 or 7000 cards. My current understanding is that 7000 support is mostly there a few months late and 5000 was abandoned partway done after years of vague promises.

At least it might support windows soon. Not my sub-4-year-old GPU, of course, god forbid. But most of the rest of them.

> The M1 in the Air is throttled to roughly half the TDP of other devices with the same chip, so it's not like you're getting all the performance it can offer.

Throttling only kicks in on the M1 Air when the CPU has been running full tilt for ~10m. Outside of that it performs identically the the regular M1 in a Mac Mini, iMac, or 13" MBP.

Even a lot of heavy users rarely keep the CPU pegged for that long. Most workloads are instead short and bursty. There's stuff like compiling Chromium that'll do it, but people who do that regularly should probably be looking at something like a 14" M1/M2 Pro MBP instead if portability is a priority.
No the board is just lazy and has no real plan for if the CEO keels over.

Yes, there are a few different sorting options which can be used on their own or together.

Cluster-sort will bubble up unique groups first. It is sorted such that KMeans groups with fewer entries will appear first and within each KMeans group the paths / lines will be sorted alphabetically. (you can use the `--groups` flag to take a peak at the groupings)

I maintain a few line delimited files of musicians to look up, movie recommendations from different country subreddits, as well as browser tabs that I failed to read during the week. I have a simple cronjob script to automatically open some of these tabs at various points throughout the day.

Cluster-sort is really good at sorting these types of files because even if the band name is in the middle of a sentence it will be grouped with similar ones (If the lines of text were exact duplicates I would just use `sort --unique` to dedupe them). Having the lines grouped together prevents me from googling the same things every month--but maybe the downside of this approach is no spaced repetition (SRS) and less of a chance to "acquire taste".
15% of the homeless in SF have a traumatic brain injury. That statistic means almost 1 in 5 right off the top need long term medical care. "Mere housing" won't do jack for those people.

Even more have mental health issues. Some have physical health issues. The number of homeless who are perfectly healthy and just need housing is vanishingly small--those homeless are generally hiding from someone and won't want to be part of a tracked program.

We know what needs to be done: long term healthcare that needs lots of money.

We know what happened in the past: those facilities were horror shows because of underfunding.

We know what the "solutions" were in the past: shut the facility down and throw those people out onto the streets and let the prision system deal with them.

The starting point for solving homelessness is universal healthcare. Nothing less. Without universal healthcare, everything else to "solve" homelessness is just rearranging the deck chairs.

Maybe a problem less controversial was the absence of trusted public health figures making concerted efforts to calm fears. And those that did try were belittled, minimized and castigated. They were the ones labeled as dangerous.

Which sometimes drove them to perceive and describe a conspiracy of pro-fear institutions and actors, undermining their believability further than just the smearing of their status.

What I find odd about this is how haughty Meta and Google are.

This kind of licensing would be an ideal way for Meta and Google to further build moats around their product by requiring any possible startup competitors (say somebody trying to commercialize something like my smart RSS reader) to also pay these fees which they'd have a much harder time to afford.

If they were in the slightest afraid of competition they'd be lobbying for this kind of law, but they are not, which means they're not paranoid enough to survive.

There's also the branches of our multiverse where we simply don't experience heat death due to being on the unlikely side of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Infinite simulations in those branches could account for a lot of "normal" experience. I haven't done the math but it seems intuitively like a simulation that keeps running in 10^-M branches (effectively quantum immortality) due to avoidance of entropy increase are more frequent than the 10^-N occurrence of boltzman brains where N>>M.

I got interested in MS and ended up doing a deep dive on fuel injection in general, learning the different types (TBI, MPI, etc) and the different sensors involved (MAP vs MAF and the like) and really just soaking it all in.

Around that time a friend was having car problems. He described the symptoms to me. I looked up the type of fuel injection used on that car, which sensors it used etc, and recommended they replace a specific sensor, without ever having even seen the car- all based on my knowledge from Megasquirt. I found out later that it worked, the engine ran much better. It's amazing what a bit of open source knowledge can do :)

> Nvidia offers blobs in both consumer and professional markets

So does AMD.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/lin...

And while they have an open version of the userland, it's also missing features compared to the proprietary one, etc.

Besides, in the end it truly hardly matters whether the firmware is loaded at runtime or lives in updateable flash. It's still not "your PC" in the Stallman sense either way, it's been tivoized regardless of whether firmware is injected at runtime or during assembly. You cannot load unsigned firmware on AMD anymore either, firmware signing started with Vega (iirc) and checksums now cover almost all of the card configuration similar to NVIDIA.

Firmware is also the only way to get proper HDMI support... which is why AMD still does not support HDMI 2.1 on linux. HDMI Forum will not license the spec openly and implementations must contain blobs or omit those features.
