> Laureles is not a middle-class neighborhood.

How would you classify it? I mean it's definitely not upscale as the article claims in the very beginning but it surely is one of the more decent neighborhoods. I guess it depends on one's definition of "middle class".

> Insinuating that the “gringo price” for an apartment is what a local (or even a gringo who can speak Spanish) will pay is dishonest.

Agreed, there is a gap in the causality chain here. Lots of places in the world have "special" prices for visitors but it doesn't automatically mean those prices will impact inflation from the point of view of locals.

Getting back to the article,

> A one-bedroom in Medellín now rents for the “gringo price” of about $1,300 a month, in a country where the median monthly income is $300.

they are really comparing apples and oranges here. A gringo tourist might pay $1,300 for a fancy apartment in a high rise in one of those upscale gated communities in Poblado. But 1) this price still includes a gringo surcharge, 2) most locals (i.e. the ones with the $300 income) don't live in such apartments, and 3) the few locals that do live in such apartments have a considerably higher monthly income.
> the trend is to make easy money by cutting staff and just printing AP or Reuters click baity news

A "newspaper" that stops doing journalism and just reprints AP/Reuters articles and blog posts has already died. Whether they actually go out of business or continue on as a zombie is irrelevant since they have stopped producing journalism in either case.

To reiterate my earlier comment, I am not arguing in favor of this strange California law. And I agree with you that reader-supported journalism (and other media) is the best approach, and I subscribe and donate to several organizations I feel do good work in this area.

I'm solely responding to the earlier comment that the "media are dying. This is normal free market that is working well" to point out that we should not be so sanguine about the death of media like journalism. I am skeptical that democracy and free markets can survive without it.
I find them extremely distracting. Evaluating a suggestion is, for me, an entirely different mental process from the creative process I’m in the middle of.
The tagline that copilot helps you stay in the flow is very much not my experience.

I am well aware that others are having a different experience with it.
In a general sense, yes. However, I really don’t see how this would fall into that category. It looks like someone has a copy illegitimately and is trying to reimplement it.
I graduated with a 2.6gpa [0] with an electrical engineering degree. While I am not in the top of my college friend group career/financially, I am in the top 20%. I don't work at Google or FB, but even 2nd tier companies pay well and offer interesting problems to solve.

You wont work in Big Tech right out of school, but do your time at a startup and then work your way up.

[0] - My excuse is I had a traumatic brain injury when I was 10 and have a terrible short term memory. It takes me 3x longer to learn anything, but once I do it sticks. I also thrive in remote environments where everything is written and searchable.

What is your opinion on how well all sides are represented on allsides.com or how balanced/unbiased the news there?
no, that would be something like "source available" or "source visible". both open source and free software imply specific licenses, though they are not synonymous

Scored 1600 SAT at 13, 36 ACT/1590 SAT in HS. Was an absolutely terrible student and dropped out of grad school (Oxford). Never had a perfect GPA despite most classes coming easily to me, which of course made my life a hell when I encountered an actually challenging topic for the first time at University.

Intelligence is just one component of academic success and while it is a strong correlate, it isn’t a guarantee.

For what it’s worth, it is possible to get this on track. I eventually restarted school at UVM Medical School and did exceptionally well in my year there. You will need to find a system that works for you to handle the responsibilities of your academic workload.
Reminds me of the thing where apparently every guy adds two inches to their height on dating profiles, whereas I deducted an inch because of poor posture.

Apparently I was born with no guile (probably an exaggeration), which means in a world where nearly everyone tells what they consider to be harmless little lies, I’m actively damaging my own career prospects.

I think everyone has their own definition of deception, and mine is the act of allowing (by making no attempt at intervention) someone to go away believing something you yourself know to be false. Which seems to be quite a strict one from what I’ve seen.
> I've been told I have ADHD, but I do fine and manage time well when I'm in an actual job setting with stakes.

That's part of ADHD, too, though. A big part of ADHD is executive dysfunction and one way to activate it is by applying accountability. I can't say whether or not you have it, but that's not a good metric to discount the possibility.

I have ADHD and am the prototypical gifted kid who continuously failed throughout school, but is really good in a work environment.
I've done this, it's super useful. The use case for me was that I wanted to simultaneously use two joysticks with the same game, mixing their inputs together instead of just using one or the other for each axis. The behavior only ended up being possible by writing a "joystick mux" program that would accept input from multiple joysticks, combine it, and then retransmit it as a gadget-mode device.

Side note, USB HID descriptors are a disaster and someone should do something about it. Even commercial devices by reputable manufacturers have broken descriptors. A tool with modern ergo and integration would probably get a surprising amount of traction.

Is mainstream porn extremely violent? I am legit asking as someone who typically only looks at furry porn.
My path sounds similar :)

I started at UC Berkeley in 2010 as a Political Economy major. Hated it, tried the intro CS class because I liked computers, loved that one, but struggled to find motivation for required math classes with tons of homework. Had to take a semester off to work to support myself. I made friends with great people at my student job, joining a cybersecurity team, doing some psychedelics. Didn’t scape the GPA together to declare CS major by the cutoff semester. When my friends started graduating, I gave up and dropped out.

I had no interest in FAANG types (at the time, they had very similar energy to those courses I hated) and looked mostly at startups. No one ever brought up my lack of degree.

I applied to Airbnb with a rec from a friend’s older brother in 2014 and got the job. Once you get that first job, no one will think about the degree. Since then I make enough to not worry about much. I’m about average with my friend group career wise; resume: https://jake.tl/resume.pdf

Sometimes when someone asks me a complicated question I say “sorry I don’t know, never got a degree” to elicit some eye rolls. My girlfriend hates that one.

I think you're spot-on here. He has (also) casually left unchallenged all the haughty & exaggerated stories of his personal record, be they about the degrees he does/doesn't hold or the businesses he did/didn't found.

I suppose he gets all the credit for being authentic due to his telling the public not to buy TLSA shares, and the way he tries to work the number 420 into share purchase prices? Its all just theatrics, just as how he (and was photographed as he) carried a sink into the lobby of Twitter last year on the day he bought it. You'd think a heavily-burdened business leader would have things of greater import on his mind than cheap imagery.
Interesting. "Looping" is a common issue with LLaMA too, and in my experience changing certain generation parameters (without any changes to the model) make it worse. Maybe OpenAI adjusted something on their end?
This is very cool - but also waaay more complicated than what I'm talking about here.

As in, I'm fine with the SYSTEM that plays music now (I have Toyota Entune) and I don't much want to mess with it.

I literally just want to be able to remotely change the files on the USB drive in the car -- without ever having to take it out of the car; that's it.
In the US medical device companies usually have a board of practitioners to give advice about the state of the art and the challenges with existing practice in the field. You can also start building your own device or system and plan to sell it, but you should find someone to consult on how to lobby the FDA and CMS as early as possible, because some devices get stuck in De Novo or PMA for years, and that’s a big risk to take. You’ll also need to have a long term plan for how the company will grow as you get closer to regulatory approval. A “product role” in these companies is very heavy on managing regulatory approval and making sure the company doesn’t get sued.
I think it just means taking the input as an integer and then separating out the “ones place”and “tens place” using integer division and modulo operator. E.g.,

ones = number % 10

tens = number // 10

do_print = (ones + tens) == 10
That perception distortion is relatively easily solved with things like nudist beaches and home sex tapes. Should probably have parents making home sex tapes and swapping with other parents to give to their kids to give accurate perception.

Thanks, good point.

I guess any conclusions I draw need to consider more than just the screen's native resolution. The software-based systems for rending fonts, and graphics in general, would also matter.

As would the screen treatment (matte vs. glossy), since AFAIK all matte finishes add a little bit of blur.
While I appreciate the NYT trying to be creative with the way they present their content, the structure of this piece pisses me off.

Thank you for illustrating the point. ID requirements were never "eliminated". In-person voting still requires some form of ID, your polling place is defined by your established place of residence, and anyone trying to submit another ballot in someone else's spot or trying to vote twice would immediately be flagged. Absentee ballots all have serial numbers (just look for yourself at the next election!), which are not just used to find duplicates during vote tallies but also when ballots that shouldn't exist are being submitted.

The heightened ID requirements don't increase election security because fraud is already very rare. They do however disproportionately affect communities where folks were born at home rather than a hospital (a whole racist history in that nugget) and other folks where the name on their birth certificate doesn't match their current name—which affected many married women. Getting that ID also typically cost money and time getting the necessary documentation, bus fare, and lost wages. So without reducing fraud, folks with less money, people of color, and women are statistically less likely to be able to vote in the election: all demographics that are less likely to vote Republican. Quelle surprise!

As for the Mueller Report, tell me you've never read the report without telling me you've never read the report. If you had, you would know it was clearly and forcefully stated that the ONLY reason no charges were recommended on the Executive Branch was because it was DOJ policy not to and that the gathered evidence should be taken up by Congress. That's it. The evidence was there; it was merely DOJ policy to not prosecute a sitting president. (Why yes, I have in fact read the entire report.)

This information was then passed to Congress, where the House voted to impeach (the first time). The Republicans in the Senate, however, refused to allow witnesses in the impeachment trial and voted largely on party lines regardless of evidence.

> On January 31, after a planned debate session, the Senate voted against allowing subpoenas to call witnesses, including former national security advisor John Bolton (who wrote in his forthcoming book mentioning Ukraine aid freezing) or documents with a 51–49 vote. 51 Republican senators voted against calling witnesses, while 45 Democratic senators, two independents who typically voted Democratic, and two Republicans (Mitt Romney and Susan Collins) voted for witnesses.

> They had assurances that they wouldn't just have it ripped from them, are being given time to find a replacement

Sure, but we're still talking after the event here.

The overall point of being over-reliant on a single donor in the first place remains the fundamental problem that could have been avoided.

I suggest we draw a line in the sand and agree to disagree.
Everyone in this space seems to be building on the LSP and classic auto-complete in particular as their UI. But I've found this to be non ideal.

- As mentioned in this paper I definitely do not want the AI suggestion crowding out a suggestion generated directly from the type bindings

- I often do want the AI to write an entirely new block of boilerplate. To do this you have to write a comment string targeted at the AI, then delete this afterwards

- Sometimes I'd just like the AI to explain to me what some code does without writing anything

- This isn't something I always want on; I find myself turning the plugin on and off depending on the context

Overall I think we need a novel UX to really unlock the AI's helpfulness
Did you ever get tested for learning differences like dyslexia? It often comes along with ADHD. You didn’t describe exactly what happens in detail but it may be worth checking.
The Debt to GDP ratio hasn't changed much - it peaked at around 132% of GDP in 2021, due to the COVID spending and lower pandemic income. As of Dec 2022 it had dropped to 123% - 9% of the US GDP has been "repaid" in only a year.

We are the richest country on earth - our budget is almost incomprehensible. The important thing to realize is that despite how high the debt number is, it's only ever been 132% of our GDP at its highest - roughly 16 months of the US economy. We could easily make it up by adding higher income tiers so ppl that earn $500k p/y are not taxed at the same percentage as ppl that earn $500 million.

Trump's first day tax cuts for rich people added a lot to the debt - just look at how much they added to their bank accounts between 2019 and 2022 - trillions of dollars, literally.

If there was no government there would only be the billionaires and their corporations - I need look no further than Google to understand how terrible a world that would be.

In the defense of the "plombir" ice cream, I still think that there is no better ice cream. Plombir is still made in that region and whenever I go back there, I eat it in industrial quantities. I could not find anything close to Plombir in the western world.
All true, but the unemployment rate for licensed physicians is virtually zero. They can always find some kind of job, although they might have to move somewhere undesirable.
I dropped out of Stanford with ADHD. I did well in high school without studying, but that didn't work in college. I went back to school a few years later and got a cheap degree. I worked my way up to a position of research geologist (my original goal), but I was deeply handicapped by a lack of knowledge. My advice is never stop pushing forward no matter what others say.

I wrote a Mac program to help ADHD folks in academic difficulty, but it didn't sell. It's now free from Apple's App Store. It's called Epiphany Workflow. It might help some.
> In the US, you can find people from nearly every state who believe that Californians are responsible for driving up home prices.

I suspect it's not entirely Covid diaspora and the handful of digital nomads pushed by lifestyle influencers.

Californicators driving up housing prices was already a meme in Portland in the 1980s.

> But, why would anyone want to do the job?

you somewhat answer your own question in the prior sentence. maybe not want, maybe called, or cared, maybe something else. not that it is binding or permanent, not that it should be.

but for all of the words spent about how it is a bad choice, how it has harmed you directly, how the money isn’t great, you’re bringing up positives, for patients.

you sound burned out. that’s not a criticism, nor should it be a badge of honor. maybe i have totally misjudged, but the career choice doesn’t sound like a purely financial decision for you.

even if not, even if i misjudge this, you, you did that ten hour plus death march. you gave your best efforts though that patient may go blind anyway, though they may feel punitive about it towards you.

you still did it. someone had to. by your own words, the patient NEEDED the procedure. you needed to go home, and be with family.

the patient got the procedure.

cough cough .... open source + non special hardware

is a solution which soo often could have helped countries in all kind of ways

weather it's avoiding back doors

or if it's cooping with abandon ware, especially in combination with security gaps

best it doesn't even have to be truly open source, the source being open (visible, modifiable, etc.) to you (the state) and anyone you want to pass it to is good enough

(But truly open source can have benefits, too. But thats a different topic.)

Yeah, even with all the improvements, Nvidia hybrid is still a nightmare in linux.

Just recently my vscode extensions were all inexplicably failing, and I traced it back to electron messing up, which I discovered only happens when the Nvidia driver is loaded even though I am not even using it for rendering... And this took forever to trace.
Norwegian public school system. Certain subjects are required to get a diploma, which is pretty much a hard requirement to even be allowed to apply to a Norwegian university. Those include PE, Norwegian writing(two separate orthographies btw and you need grades in both!) and speaking, English, a 2nd foreign language, history, social studies, some math, and first year science class. Then there's addon elective stuff. I did theoretical math, physics, chem and biology. And I pretty much nailed those subjects

What's even worse though, you can show up, pass the final exam for a subject and still fail the subject due to "insufficient attendance" throughout the year. Which is what happened to me. I was skipping class too much to write code in my room, which ironically meant I couldn't get into a CS course even though I could code circles around the well-behaved neruotypical kids who showed up for class and did their homework.
> Does qemu support all those architectures ?

Probably. But my understanding is that the OpenBSD core developers consider qemu as the antithesis to their beliefs.

At least that's what I recall reading when it was discussed at the time, i.e. it was met with one of Theo's famous hard "no".
