TC is TC whether people 'take it home' now or after they retire.

Most people have to save for their retirement, and hope to have enough money to pay for healthcare and living expenses until their final days.

City employees have no such need and don't suffer such uncertainty.

They can retire at 65 and, no matter how long they live, never have to worry about healthcare or living costs.
Couldn’t agree more. The older generation didn’t go to school in a world with Google, and they dont’t understand what technology prohibition does to kids. I’ve gone to school with people who weren’t allowed access to technology. Saying it puts them at a disadvantage is an understatement.

Technical literacy needs to be cultivated. We should be teaching kids to use technology productively, not banning it.
You can interleave the orderings. If there are two episodes (1 and 2), we only have to watch three episodes in a row: 121. Then, we've watched all permutations -- 12 and 21.

The "14!" solution (where we watch 14x14! episodes) means there is no interleaving -- we just watch each permutation in turn. In our 2-episode example, we'd have to watch one extra episode (for a total of 2x2! = 4), e.g. in the order 1221.

Done = ready to be used to do what it’s made to do

I’ve lived in many cultures. In what culture, does “done” not mean that?

In some cultures you may lie about it being done, but internally you know what’s being asked and that you’re lying in reply.
You always need somewhere to live, so you can only "sell high" if that means you can "buy low" somewhere else. If all bay area houses go up 10%, then you haven't actually gained anything assuming you still want to live in the bay area.

You also lose at least 5-6% of the value of real estate every time you buy or sell. So given that buying/selling real estate is complicated and expensive, and moving is complicated and expensive, for the vast majority of people, the value of the house going up and down _in the short term_ is mostly irrelevant.

What about a smart phone as a safety device (parental leash) though? I have a 10 year old going into 6th grade next year, he has aged out of the after school program so I'm considering letting him walk home (about 1/2 -3/4 mile). There is no way in hell I would let him do that unless he has some way I can contact him and see where he is. He is at a charter school so there are far fewer neighborhood kids he could walk home with and no bus or anything like that. We're also not too concerned about screens since we let him use his iPad as much as he wants as long as he has nothing else he is supposed to do. Just curious if it seems reasonable as a safety (at least in my mind) device.

A normal sign in flow, that is not google.com (or a subdomain), or an oauth sign in screen, presenting as google, seemingly asking for my google creds? But is not google.com or affiliated. I'm just supposed to...trust it's google?

Again, seems sketchy. Even if not actually sketchy (I'm obviously unwilling to try).
Hopefully he's not hunched over a phone screen instead of bent double under a backpack of dead trees.
I agree. Even though I disagree with the restrictions and coercion and don’t think any of it really worked, even I would expect to see a significant difference between say a Sweden or Florida in a California. Instead, we are arguing about minutiae.
Its very weird for Google to be charging for this yes. Definitely pricked my ears up but can’t see how this is spoofed unless google.com has been pwnd.
Because adding brains and storage to hardware is expensive. And putting simple things on customer prem means less things can go horribly wrong.

And people actually like controlling their hardware from out-of-the-home, which makes doing everything locally even more complicated.

When you start trying to present end-users with a graph of whatever metric you want, you run into issues with storage, response time, CPU usage, storage, the web front-end, storage, etc. Then you have issues updating all that.

And if you want to do something like, say, comparing and benchmarking against other users you can't.

Really, only technical people care about this kind of stuff, and they can go ahead and write their own or use HA.
A couple of those approaches result in building things that work, efficiently at scale. The rest don’t.

It’s likely an on-boarding platform to get more business for google cloud.
Oh man I am with you on this in that, the fact that it's not a phishing site, to me, means google is sending the completely wrong message to users. Here is a site with a non-google.com URL that expects users to know that only google owns that TLD, has a non Google sign in page, uses google logo. Eek.
HA is _very_ good for integrating stuff, mostly due to it being the de facto standard for DIY home automation. Basically if something has any kind of API that can be accessed in any way, someone has already made a HA integration for it.

On the other hand, it's absolutely crap at doing complex automations. The Web UI gives me heartburn any time I need to make it do anything else than simple "if temperature is over 40 on this, do this" things.

The UI does make complex automations _possible_ for non-programmers. But for me, every time I click on the UI or attempt to "program" using the convoluted YAML syntax I keep thinking "this would've been like 5 lines in an actual language...".

Thus: I use Node RED for the more complex stuff paired with an external program I made that connects to the HA Mosquitto server and pokes stuff directly when needed.

Regardless of the provenance of that quote, it is quite apt wrt IT clients. They always come asking for a faster horse, ie: something they know that is just better in a specific way.

A lot of the times this might be wrong but I think the interesting part is how that request gets handled.
I don't think anyone's saying they're Markov chains with context length 1. In all the critiques I've read no one's even come close to articulating that.

But they are Markov chains with context length N. They're approximating (implicit) Markov transition matrices through a fancier method of computation but they still are just generating one token at a time.
I'm tempted to think that the impact on the tax base is the larger piece here, since wealth at some point doesn't contribute that much more to local businesses (e.g., I think the number of people is more relevant for business impacts, whereas the income is more relevant to taxation).

I'm also not sure how this accounts for changes in income, as in maybe the people leaving are simply more senior than those coming in, amd this could be a normalish situation? E.g., if there's some normal increase in income levels of people staying in the city and then some portion of very well compensated people leaving, there could be an equilibrium.

The missing piece then is the change in income for people that didn't move.
That’s ok?

First principles learning packaged for how adults learn best is bound to have transferable knowledge to other platforms.
The quote is alleged to be Henry Ford, and I've always encountered it as "better horse."

In either case, the customers aren't stupid but instead are using the language and paradigm they are familiar with to describe their needs. Ford did indeed provide a faster/better horse, because the horse was the main means of non-human motive force in the US.

The technologist's job is to understand the universal of possible solutions and to understand the customer's needs and goals, which often includes interrogating and parsing the customer's language/worldview, and craft a product that achieves those needs/goals (and doesn't introduce negatives that overwhelm the benefits).

Except you wouldn't build it like that. Even "on the spot" production will still significant hydrogen storage and distribution. It's not like you can place a giant tank right next to each piece of machinery. This are still going to be miles of piping.

And it is cheaper to move hydrogen than electricity. People have an inverted understanding of the problem.
I don't really care about the charging. A non google.com TLD asking for my google credentials is phishing.
I'm not aware of any ordinary scenario in which estimated insurance or pension funding obligations are included in compensation figures. The compensation figure you receive from your employer almost certainly doesn't include your insurance costs to them, or your employer's expected costs from matching or other advantaged schemes that you choose to participate in.

For a public employer like the SF, both are at least partially just migrated spreadsheet cells. Neither is directly realizable by the employee, and quoting them in a take-home number only serves to imply otherwise.

Edit: I've realized I've conflated TC and take-home with my second comment in this sub-thread (but not the original comment). You can consider things like pension funding part of TC in a meaningful sense; the larger point about the article's editorialization still stands (since pension funding doesn't change annual take-home numbers).

A real alternative to Rust, a better C++ (literally)
My relatively fresh macbook pro is sitting at a little over 100GB with just a few apps installed (I'm not even using it fulltime yet because not everything is installed). That includes 25GB in the Library directory in my homedir.

On my primary work macbook (which ONLY contains work apps and software dev, nothing else), I'm hitting against the 1TB SSD and have to delete caches to get space back from time to time. The Library directory is currently a whopping 220GB (just checked with du) and I have no idea why.

Windows was a similar experience before I replaced it with a Debian + Steam install.

37GB for an extreme case of 173 large GUI apps built to 97 different runtimes on a system where I can get the latest and greatest version (or older version) of the app without being hobbled by dependency hell seems like a steal by comparison.

> Generally commercial / industrial uses include things like SLAs, guaranteed bandwidth, R&D for service during movement, etc.

It's a stretch to call any of these things value-add features since in this case they are basically provided to everyone equally (except prioritization which I addressed elsewhere). Presumably the "mobile" R&D is also paid for by the mobile plan which is $200/month not $4k/month (and which has already been researched and deployed without expectation of a major war to finance it).

But it's really easy to answer this question in practice: If there is so much value-add let them choose between the retail price and the government-special price with the SLA guarantees, etc on a per terminal basis. I really don't see anybody being willing to pay 10x more except for a few select applications.

> If a military user wants data priority then it makes sense it'll cost them for that privilege.

It doesn't though. It's an arbitrary charge whose only functions are 1. price-rationing 2. investment inducement and 3. profit for SpaceX. I've explained why 1 and 2 don't apply here so it's just an arbitrary fee by SpaceX.

> The density of the LEO constellation can and is being increased, along with other R&D investments.

It isn't being increased for Ukraine, I don't see any evidence of investment to support Ukraine capacity and certainly not hundreds of millions of dollars worth.

> These investments undoubtedly include forecasting the higher pricing for industrial and military usage.

Yes it's the government subsidizing SpaceX (who will claim that they receive no government subsidies).
People take geohot seriously, should there be a disclaimer on everything he puts out that they should not?
there is an obsession with the "pooper scooper team" which is a small part of the article. There is also a general issue on HN which comes from certain demographics crawling all over themselves to show they are superior to SF's civic and cultural issues because their own slumdog country they shit all over in private posts.

San Francisco has issues, the main one being it has become too popular with a certain set of TC chasers and chasing out any cultural doversity (sorry desi/indian culture isn't one of those). We've lost blues venues, drag venues many others because of the BS TC uber alles from a certain segment of the tech crowd prior to covid. That same group is panties in a bunch to return to office because of whatever. You have one or the other, not both.

And, this will get me down voted, but fuck the indian community TC chasers (biggest part of the comnunity, but there are others) for ruining the bay area. I hear it from friend from SF to Morgan Hill.

The guys I worked with 20 years ago were different. It was about building things and helping others, not stomping on people to make your next move.
The UX is admittedly horrendous but this is not what is happening.

On the other hand if you think it is phishing stick to your guns and don’t use it. It is better to be too cautious.

> There is no way in hell I would let him do that unless he has some way I can contact him and see where he is.

I'm not saying you are wrong or right for wanting this, but it brings 2 thoughts to mind.

One is a reminder that our parents and beyond always joke about, back in the day throwing a few blankets in a car and driving 12 hours north for the weekend and having no way to contact anyone and "they were fine".

Second is this feeling of overlap between having a child grow up with a phone constantly on them, and our mental attachment to having them. Everyone is aware of this emptiness / stress that occurs with many people when you leave the house without your phone these days. You feel this strong mental attachment / reliance on this connection to the world. Now, are we forcing children to have that same mental reliance on these devices by starting them so young?

Again, not saying you are right/wrong to want it, just something that came to mind.

the sign-in flow directs you to a normal google.com sign-in, or you can use the sign-up form on this site just like any other non-google site - they're not asking you to enter your google account credentials here.
It’s a dirty job, just like any other tech job, where you have to clean up the previous guys mess. Except, in the tech world, the mess-makers make out like bandits, go on to become directors, senior directors, vice presidents, etc. The ability to make messes is highly rewarded.

I’ve been alive a long time and I never went to a meeting where this was discussed or decided. I’ve never heard of such a meeting. And it doesn’t make sense.

If you spend part of your life in a certain identity, and you interact with people under that identity, and they know you that way, banning people from talking about you in that identity is discourteous to THEM. You are laying a claim on other people’s minds that you have no right to make.

It’s not just about names, it’s about policing memory and attempting to manufacture a personal brand through social coercion. It’s immoral.

I remember being a kid when a man named Bruce was on Wheaties boxes. Now some would say I am not permitted to discuss my own life in relation to that experience. Yes that is a curtailment of speech. (Not in a constitutional sense, though, since the government isn’t restricting it.)
In the 15-year period of 2005 through 2019, canines killed 521 Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 66% (346) of these deaths. Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 76% of the total recorded deaths [1]

I have the impression that these days there's a very strong bias against Google on HN.
On that thread, many vendors will implement features and capabilities through request or with with their customers, and often at their own expense if it increases their overall marketability.

Sure, you could put in a request to the project maintainer, fork it - or find a contribution yourself - but there will still be zero guarantees and support arrangements will be shaky at best.
You don't seem like someone who had used GPT3, let alone GPT4. It has an excellent command of language. I doubt there's a single question requiring "human linguistic ability" you can come up with that GPT4 will do worse than most humans at.
The truth is that the majority of software engineers have no idea how to write Software Licenses.

And this is the last thing a programmer want to think about when starting a new programming project. So they pick up just some random, but widely used OSS license from Internet, as other people around do. This creates a self-supporting trend where picking something different to a widely used OSS license will look inappropriate. It is much easier to accept an idea that all you need to do is to use a "ready to use" license from Internet, rather than the idea that you should hire a lawyer to write you one, or worse to research the pack of corresponding laws and law practices by yourself. Of course the arguments of the opponents of Copyright and the proponents of the free-software expressed in plain English even reinforce this trend.

My opinion is that we just can't have a fair discuss around this topic. To have such discussion we need more people who fairly tried to go both ways, but the current free-artist programmers community is too much shifted towards using of free licenses that basically bypass the majority of the benefits and the trade-offs the Copyright laws can offer.

"If you're not paying for the product, you are the product"
Guilty. :)
I realized I made a mistake in this thread: I'm conflating TC and take-home, when my point really only applies to take-home. Sorry for that!

You're right that pension benefits can be reasonably included in a TC calculation; I'd still argue that the article's framing is meant to imply that TC here reflects a larger take-home than it actually does, as well as malfeasance on SF's part (rather than ordinary and boring funding obligations).
Agreed. Although selling to devs is its own kind of hell. Good luck with that (seriously).
Yup we do something very similar for MySQL replication ourselves.
Generally speaking the people who live in SF aren't comparing SF to Boise, they are comparing SF to other elite cities like NYC, LA, Boston, Austin, etc. And the COL is not 2-3x higher in SF than those other cities.

Also as a little story about how crime infested SF is, a couple years ago my wife accidentally left her key ring in the lock on our front door (which included car keys to a car right out front), where they stayed for the next ~18 hours, right in obvious public view from the street, until we noticed the next morning. And lo and behold the crime was so bad that the keys were right there the next morning and we had a nice laugh about it.
