I think you're on the same page with the person you're responding to.

@shepardrtc said people who get free housing should work for it, and @legitster is saying that it is in the taxpayer's self-interest to spend some taxes housing the unhoused. I took that to mean that a work requirement is secondary to getting them off the street in the first place.

I agree that we should be providing drug recovery mechanisms and promoting a work ethic in people who are long-term houseless, but our options seem to be (leave them on the streets, parks and front lawns of our cities), (put them in prison), or (put them in publicly funded housing ala halfway houses).

First one seems like none of us want it (unless you live in the suburbs and have fled the problem). Second one is too far, and even with good healthcare services, involuntary commitment should only happen for the severely ill. That leaves the third.
> Established trends have been regularly violated over thousands of years.

I don’t think that’s true. The archetypal constructs of human cognition have been unchanged. Hence the enduring relevance of myths. It’s always the same stories playing out.
I made https://github.com/nadermx/backgroundremover which can be installed and used fully with no restrictions, MIT licensed. Yet people still feel the need to pay for API usage or my GUI at https://backgroundremoverai.com
Not going to argue whether we are being overpaid or not (I certainly hope we aren't because now I'm getting even crazier compensation than my Amazon days lol). But I think the current layoffs which are putting downward pressures on salaries will prove that we were getting overpaid.

My main point was still that AMD should really pay a lot more than what they currently are paying, they actually already increased it quite a bit compared to 3 years ago, but not nearly enough! In a way, I think this reflects poorly on Lisa Su because she didn't invest enough into AI while it should have been obvious from the start.
for some reason many people have stopped caring about the notion of societal trust and cohesion—even the idea of valuing it as something to be desired and strived for. it's an odd kind of defeatist nihilism, and I've seen it spread year after year.

these are the same people who will scoff when you suggest that stealing from Walmarts or Targets or whatever is wrong. they'll tell you, "dude, shrinkage is a thing, they build the cost of stolen or damaged goods into their budgets. and, anyway, why do you care so much about massive corporations' bottom lines, anyway?" obviously I don't, but I sure do care about living in a place where brazen broad-daylight theft is rare, and not something you see every time you go to the store!
Have you heard of this thing called Git?
Mitochondrial DNA is still DNA.

Symbiotic replicators that rely on the presence of each other to reproduce (like cycles of quines?) are also still replicators.
Iframes bypass CORS, so the trick is to use an Iframe and figure out (using some side channel since you can’t peek into the frame) whether the iframe loaded the content successfully or whether it loaded an error page.
There are a lot of individuals who buy investment properties. I have friends who use this as their primary retirement vehicle and own a bunch of rental properties. They are just successful small-business owners and the properties are their private property, unrelated to the business. From last time I saw statistics on this, most rental units were still owned by small landlords.
> Dry shelters are arguably a massive part of the problem.

As someone who has housed and lived close to addicts, to put it plainly: this is a naive, academic view. Dry shelter are "a massive part of the problem"? Absolutely incorrect, and harmfully ignorant if implemented at societal scale.

As someone who provided food and shelter to an addict in my own home, guaranteeing these things does nothing to increase the willingness to quit heroin. Material deprivation may cause you to seek drugs, but remedying deprivation does not lead to recovery. In fact, I honestly believe offering it unconditionally hampers it.
This. I really do not understand why people use fail2ban when the threat is somewhere else.

It won't stop a ddos but will certainly, at some point, prevent you from logging in.
Found the economist.

Meaning a person who argues economic theory and not purely from neo-liberal ideology.
Yep, very common deflection tactic. "I'm sorry but I'm very puzzled why you say I want X when in fact I have consistently said Y." (Where Y is something tangentially or completely unrelated to X.)

Gardner would like to apply such a technique to the computer.

Found the book last week when packing for a move, that can’t be a coincidence!
Also in the news: AI is going to take everyone’s jobs, with profound economic consequences.

All we need to do is merge these two storylines and watch the consequences cancel out as AI productivity compensates for population decline.

Voila: narrative renormalization.

If you read the article I linked you to, it answers that very question.

Fortunately San Francisco has had decades of social workers "dealing with the actual issues" and "solving the problem". To put it mildly, they didn't solve the issues.

This is a lot better than social workers "helping" people on the street with "treatment".
Are these really failures though? This is just how brute force works.
The target demographic selects itself ;-)
I think there needs to be some kind of sobriety requirement. Maybe put them through rehab, and then give them housing after they leave rehab.

I saw this tweet from the Y combinator ceo that says 25% of those in a permanent housing program in SF died. (I assume of overdose). Getting people housed shouldn’t be the priority, the priority is getting them drug free. https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1659972231328583680?s=20
LVT probably wouldn't be enough to fund the government at this point, and it's regressive. Throw in some 0% base rate progressive income taxes, pigouvian taxes, maybe a small vat and you're on the right track.
Was there a NATO country that condemned Iraq invasion and imposed sanctions? Like banning McDonalds or UPS from doing business there? Most of them participated in the invasion one way or another, did they not?
It's very hard to work around human nature and the whole "why am I paying rent like a sucker when the drug addicts on the street are getting free apartments?"

I also think that people who point out that a huge percentage of the people on the street are on drugs, so the drugs are the problem are not entirely correct either. The drug use is a symptom that also exacerbates the problem. One of the big contributing factors to California's homelessness problem is that wages have not kept up with rents, and it is not even close. If you're working two full time minimum wage jobs in SF you won't be able to afford an apartment, and that's a fundamental problem. Either bring rents down or wages up, neither of which are popular with the people who have political power.
The assumption is that drugs perpetuate the illness/uselessness of the homeless. If you have a home and can manage to afford it on your own, you get the privilege of drug consumption (within the law). If it is causing you to be unhoused or unhinged and the rest of the community is putting money into you having a place to sleep, it seems reasonable to impose some standards of behavior.
Realistically though, they'll probably timeout by themselves automatically if they haven't seen a password prompt after N seconds. TCP connections can hang overall, so having that would be basics anyway.
I believe they're referring to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's kind of an iconic line for those who have read it because of how it sets the tone of the book: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Your thesis is that the USA isn't sufficiently punitive towards the poor and working class?

What are some (policy) ideas for making them more desperate, more miserable?
More BS.

Federal law overrides state law. It’s Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the constitution, if you want to double check.

Where federal law says it is illegal to block access to public lands, it is illegal to block access to public lands. Even more so when we’re talking federally owned public land.

There is no law (or judicial interpretation) that Wyoming can pass that is constitutional to change that.

Here is a cite, which you haven’t provided any supporting you case, clearly stating as such, regarding the Inclosures act and someone playing similar games - around 1893. That instance was in Colorado, but was sustained by the Supreme Court and applied nationally.

[https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/167/518]

If you have an actual cite to an actual applicable case, please do post it. The earlier link literally agrees with me, as the judge cited the Inclosures Act when dismissing the claims that corner crossing was illegal.

Otherwise, stop spamming this propaganda.
Yes, that's clearly why they order computers from manufacturers with ME disabled, because it's not a backdoor...

> overall the cost was less that not having some housing and services

This is always the justification for socialist-style programs. It makes for a great red herring, but it's always misleading. What it ignores (willfully or not) is that if you start to incentivize homelessness, you're going to suddenly find yourself with a lot more homeless than you used to have. Your studies assume a stable population of homeless, but, as we've seen with these programs, putting them in place just invites more homeless.
From a census of homeless people in LA county a few years back[1]:

15% of LA's homeless population has substance abuse problems. Only 12% of these people are in shelters.

25% have serious mental illnesses. 20% of these people are in shelters.

Overall 33% of homeless people are in shelters.

So you are partially right that drug use and mental health issues can make sheltering some people more difficult. But you are very wrong that people with either of these issues make up a majority of all homeless people. It is just classic confirmation bias in that people with these issues are the most visibly homeless. The people who are living in their car or a shelter and simply can't afford a home aren't easily identifiable as homeless when you walk past them on the street. This can also be seen in the previously linked data as only 28% of LA's homeless population qualifies as chronically homeless.

Basically you are only able to see a small portion of the problem and are assuming that is the whole problem when in actuality homelessness is roughly 4x worse.

And Rectangle. I really like it’s Window Throw method in the Pro version.

The problem with the built-in methods is that they use spaces and split them for windows. That locks you into that space just as full-screen view does.
Russia wanting to join NATO is an anecdote.
People addicted to heroin don't achieve their potential or their aspirations. The compassionate thing to do for drug addicts is to help them stop being addicted to drugs, not give them an apartment where they can do drugs without bothering anybody. Parent commenter is saying the state is doing mostly the latter and little of the former.
The ME isn't in the CPU, it's in the PCH. I'd be astonished if Intel made special parts that didn't use the ME at all, it's much more likely that they just have the HAP bit set in the FIT and the ME largely shuts down part-way through boot (you still need ME firmware to be present, so the ME clearly still runs some amount of code before disabling itself)
Unfortunately these can disappear without warning. With AWS this basically never happens.

Just to have at least one counterpoint in this thread, but I loved the ending. Much, much better, IMO, than a non-meta epic fight with LeChuck, for example.

I took it as a very interesting and profound discussion about the role of games and fantasy in our lives as adults after playing it from a different perspective as kids. The dialogs during the ending are very well thought and thought-provoking. The role of Elaine in it is special.

I loved the whole game, but the ending brought it to a complete new level for me. It’s probably something that I’ll want to play again a few years from now.
I'm curious what job qualifications are needed to be a "Twitter Safety Chief". It sounds like a professional hall monitor. In this specific instance, how is someone's actual safety impacted after watching a film where someone said something they found offensive? There is no human right to not be offended.

Watching this from afar, we have highly paid executives throwing public tantrums like petulant children. It's farcical.

Nice. Also an illustration that its good to establish one's inner motive first, like here might range from a desire for simple solutions, to another dimension of drama, which might indeed be desirable sometimes, for entertainment or for snapshots to use in a book one is writing. :)
In many areas, DevOps means different things to different companies.

While I'm not in a DevOps position, nor have I been in one. The people I've met who were, primarily focused on providing value and automating repetitive work.

This usually took the form of creating tooling or instrumentation that made everyone else's jobs easier or reliable (eliminating human error).

While that is easier said than done, the tooling they created needed to be rock solid, and there are certain operation aspects that are often overlooked because Operations rarely has as much input as Developers in more classical teams. As long as it continues running without problems few people care.

Volume 2 of TPOSNA for Cloud breaks some of these operational requirements down. I'd also add, its important to understand and know the limitations of computation, and maybe a little compiler/automata theory on the types of problems and what leads to halting/undecidability.

In that kind of position, you will often be dealing with automation; and you may need to be able to verify requirements of computation such as if a output interface is injecting non-determinism into subsequent forked processes. Any automation after that will fail in unpredictable ways, and it happens in a lot of places (take a close look at ldd coreutils output sometime).

There are a few core requirements that programs assume are true, but then break down when those assumptions stop being true. Having an implicit knowledge of System's and Signals is very valuable with this in mind as those properties can be tested; and effective troubleshooting only works when certain properties are present allowing you to characterize problem classes quickly and allocate/provide estimates of time more effectively. Non-deterministic type problems take exponentially longer since you can only guess and check.

As for certifications, if you want a background in System Administration RHCSA was good; I haven't seen it since they were acquired by IBM.

You should look at the person who issues the certifications and see how long or how they validate those certifications. With deprecated certifications, they often stop validating whether its been issued so its as though you didn't have any certification.

Pipe it through ChatGPT and create some nice long prose reports that nobody will read either, but that make you look like you spent hours on, if that's what your organization is rewarding.

Does NATO even have a border with the counties member states invaded in the past three or so decades? Except Yugoslavia.
I don’t know how relevant this story is to the question of whether people who are homeless in California are from California.

In any case, the claim was made that the LAHSA data showed something which I found no evidence of, and in fact found that it showed something quite different. Lots of other data also suggest that a large majority of homeless do not come from other places.

If someone wants to share other data about this issue I’m happy to read it.
I do. For some reason ssh keys became the group-think security advice to repeat ad nauseam. I often find people have only considered this very shallowly, and their reasoning is just "But OMG, entropy lolz" without actually seriously considering the available entropy and likely attack vectors and failure.

Why?

The benefits are largely theoretical if you choose sufficiently strong randomly generated passphrases, with some symbols and numbers mixed in, which I set my password manager to do. (Actually, I have a couple of super important, super long ones I keep only in my head.)

The draw-backs however are several:

1. I find that its not uncommon I find myself having to chain together ssh tunnels and other strange things to debug networking issues and need to login to another machine from a new machine that doesn't have the ssh-key. Treating servers as cattle exacerbates this issue since it's more likely to occur.

2. If a machine or server I use to manage stuff as a gateway/proxy/vpn entry to my network has all my ssh keys on it, and it becomes compromised because of some 0-day, the attacker now basically has access to... multiple entire networks. Now, this is technically true of my password manager as well, except that the context / IP addresses, etc, is not going to be as obvious as it will be on the server where the attacker can see the running services, check logs, command histories, etc. With the password-based management, sure I could get hit by a keylogger, but everything won't be compromised by default.

3. In my experience, you're more likely to lock yourself out than let an attacker in. You basically still have to have your keys managed via some type of password manager anyway because otherwise you run the risk of getting locked out of everything in case you're away from your primary machine and need to address some emergency or something.

There was a survey (San Fransisco Homeless Count and Survey, 2022) which says 71% of the homeless in San Fransisco were living in San Fransisco at the time they became homeless, 24% were in another California county, and only 4% were out of state. But generally it makes sense that if a single county adopted housing first at a large scale these numbers might change. Additionally, the primary cause of homelessness is the severe housing shortage and the high cost of housing. So homes for the homeless should not be implemented in only cheap areas, but the expensive areas with the highest homelessness rates. This should be combined with a large increase in general housing production in these areas to mitigate the cause of the homelessness in the first place.
I couldn't bring myself to finish Return either. Which is a huge bummer, since the first couple games are near the very top of my list of favorite and most (personally) influential games ever.
