If there is true AGI, I don't see the reason why 99% of the population would have a reason to stay employed

If there is AGI AND enough computing power, it will either make social mobility disappear because everyone would be up the socio-economic ladder, or it's an apocalypse, there is no in between.

During the time there isn't enough computing power for every jobs, but running it costs less than a salary, then I guess there would be high unemployment rates for a few years.
I honestly thought it was well known that the US in particular wanted a war with Japan but domestic politics prevented outright aggression.

Instead, IIRC, the US blockaded oil deliveries to Japan to the extent that the Japanese economy was within a month or so of collapsing. The Japanese - who had been invading other asian countries - were left with little choice but to attack the US to stop the blockades.

My understanding is that the US goal was to avoid Japanese hegemony in Asia. Certainly, the idea that the Japanese attack was a “surprise” was a convenient myth. The form of the attack, maybe, but not the expectation.

I don’t have references handy. This is just from memory.
I setup SSHD to listen on a wireguard interface rather than listening on all interfaces. This makes SSHD only accessible to wireguard peers rather than the entire internet.

A nice aspect of wireguard is that it's "steath", meaning that it does not respond to unauthenticated connections at all, so there is no way to probe and scan for wireguard listeners at all.

I think setting up daemons behind wireguard offers a lot of security. SSHD is probably fine to expose, but something like an IRC bouncer for example really benefits from being protected I think.

I use ZNC over wireguard for this reason! It also allows to use ZNC securely without the need to setup TLS certs, which IME is actually harder than setting up wireguard!
There have been some experiments along these lines for "hat" tilings:

The only valid complaint about std::array is that it's awkward to declare and takes more characters to type. It is, otherwise, vastly superior in every other way.

That doesn't make them garbage. That makes them annoying.
Resettlement somewhere cheaper is the sensible thing to do. Unfortunately, this requires relocation and doesn't scale. This is something the federal government should pay for and coordinate.
Unless you can cite the source that they actually received that $17B it sure seems like you're looking to punish people for being poor rather than to fix the system which creates the environment and situations that lead to these outcomes. That's not going to work. It never has worked and it never will.
I was a huge Windows Phone advocate around this time, and indeed in many markets _outside_ the US it had periods of being the #2 behind Android. To my vague recollection maybe India, Mexico, and parts of Europe (where it was sometimes #2, and when not at least had a much stronger showing than in the US).

There was solid user research at the time indicating that it was both more popular with and had a lower learning curve for first-time smartphone buyers compared to iOS/Android at the time--but there were fewer and fewer of such first-timers by then.

IMO it's a great example of a better platform (in terms of UX and polish) losing to competitors/incumbents on things other than...for lack of a better word..."worthiness".

As @chiph said, being the third to launch is just a death knell for platforms. The network effects trending towards a duopoly are just so strong. I worked for an agency where clients did initially give us budget to build WP apps (and we had a ton of fun!), but if you make an 80/20 decision enough times, you end up supporting only the top 2.
> Next.js is having a moment and likely to be the platform of choice for the foreseeable near- and mid-term future in both the enterprise and startup space because React on its own is too un-opinionated and therefore, somewhat open to being misused, mis-configured, and poorly architected since there are many choices involved in any non-trivial implementation..

Lolol all those people who said React was superior to backbone, angular, etc because it was a library not a framework.
So what it sounds like to me is that unregistered shares exist specifically for the purpose of fraud - you can’t tell whether you’re buying registered or unregistered, so presumably you’re going to only ever be able to get unregistered ones.

The only reason to do this is so you can put fraudulent info in the prospectus in the knowledge that the only people getting registered shares are those who are in on the fraud, and none of the victims can sue you because of magic fraud reasons.
> These are dependent types which C++ does not have at all.

As a C++ developer, that sounds strange. Can you point me to some documentation about "dependent types"?
It's cheaper than AWS and has a good free tier. I've worked with clients who use it because Oracle or they got a really good deal with them over AWS.

It's not something I'd choose right away, but there are use cases where it can be cheaper/free compared to other options.

Firmware is software that is specific to its hardware. It is directly configuring/operating the peripherals through their registers.

An embedded device is the alternative to a general purpose computer such as a smartphone or laptop. The users of general purpose computers can decide which applications get run, unlike embedded devices. Of course, other software can limit the user's ability to make those decisions, but that is not an inherent limit of the system, that is an artificial limitation imposed by another person.
The "thought time" required to actually get to the root cause of an issue can be rare due to both internal and external pressures, some of which are real and some only perceived.

I'm 6 months into my current role and only just starting to feel the confidence and comfort to question the approaches to problems we've dealt with in that time, in order to, hopefully, modify the approaches we take in future in the hopes of improving the quality of the output.

It takes time to "find the water level" and also working through applying that knowledge to each problem, and if time is 'pressurised' it can lead to suboptimal resolutions. On the flipside, no one will wait forever - and it feels as if the world is currently oversensitive to waiting time.

Find the water level. But that also takes time.
What if they share the same link with friends that do buy something off the ad?
Intelligent people have wider knowledge, they can see the problem from different angles, different edge cases. It takes time. On the other there is The Dunning–Kruger effect where less intelligent people jump to results too quick.

A lottery system for a few people is the rich's approach to looking down on the poor.

You're not wrong. Classic example: Adolf Neusinger [1] who went from the Nazi High Command to Chairman of the NATO Military Committee. Von Braun was another well-documented example.

We just differ on what "de-Nazification" means. It's partly about cutting the head off the snake but also making a public spectacle of it, laying Germany's war crimes bare for all the world to see, especially ordinary Germans. The Nuremberg Trials weren't solely responsible for this but they provided a key focal point.

Imagine if we'd cut the head off the Confederate snake in the same way.

OK, I don't go to the Mission much. What I was trying to say was that putting that anecdote out there risks being a bit misleading, since obviously the vast majority of homeless people on Market St / Tenderloin, and in the East Bay, are not Mexican immigrants, illegal or otherwise. Unless you concede that point, readers of this thread are going to conclude that it is you that is trying to shoehorn reality into a form that you find palatable. If you genuinely think that the majority of homeless people in SF / East Bay are illegal immigrants, then I don't know which adjective to choose -- deranged, deluded, absurd?
The newer TR games are actually pretty great. Not perfect but it's unfair to label them as generic. The only other games I know that are similar are the Uncharted series.

I guess you know they have debt, and they were paying them off, and were battling with other issues all the way till 2019 / 2020 when Intel had their misstep so they could gain something in the CPU server market?
> society around us partly disintegrates and additional effects start stacking up: substance abuse, violent crime, healthcare costs etc.

Sure, if the alternative is “do nothing.” But if you committed the mentally ill who are endangering themselves and others to mental institutions (not jail) then 90% of these problems go away.
I mean SF or LA aren't the only cities with homeless problems. My home city Seattle has them, New York has them, Austin has them. For decades leading up to the 2010s we were convicting and throwing every homeless person we could in jail, but the problem is that it just becomes a revolving door. Either you accept that an entire class of people need to be jailed for life for the crime of being homeless, or you try and fix the revolving door.

Some cities have tried and failed, others haven't tried and also failed. Trying to solve a national problem on a state level is almost always bound to be a failure because the problem has to do with things that occurred 10-20 years ago with Purdue Pharma starting off the whole opioid epidemic. We're just now seeing the height of the problem they kicked off.

The other 'unspoken truth' about this issue is that people in the rust belt and such have just as many problems with drugs and crime. The difference is that they have homes and these issues aren't visible until someone dies from suicide or an OD.
It's funny how the USG might be conflicted with both an interest in DNSSEC adoption, and an interest in preventing its adoption.

Less than a year ago I was having DNS problems reaching a subnet in the spaceforce.mil domain (via AFRC Desktop Anywhere). After some troubleshooting, I determined that the DNS server for their subnet was not configured for DNSSEC and my client was configured to refuse unauthenticated resolvers. Everything worked fine once I turned off DNSSEC locally.

DNSSEC can prevent spoofing via MITM, which is something that lots of governments do, so I can see why they might not want everyone to adopt it.

On the other hand, DNSSEC can help to secure network communication, so I can see why they might want to adopt it.
It is nice to be self-sufficient on survival staples like grains if that is an option. If your competitors are driving a hard bargain and the downside is that you don’t get video game consoles, it isn’t the end of the world, you can call their bluff. If the downside is starvation, it is a bit tougher.
There's still hope.

FPGA recreations (miSTer w/miniMig core) aside, A500 sold by the millions and are still inexpensive to get today.
Modern CMOS transistors are extremely sophisticated devices (you need a very complicated model with hundreds of parameters to simulate all kinds of quantum effects to predict its behavior). Yet all it does is one simple function - it's an on/off switch.
Those are the homeless you can see.

You're right that people who have several physical or mental health issues would be hard to help, in any system.

But the number one cause of homelessness isn't addiction; it's poverty.

And for that matter, the overwhelming majority of people who are substance-addicted don't become homeless. Lots of the people you work with are addicted to something.

There are so many steps before people literally have to sleep on the streets. They stay out of sight. You surely have noticed all the camper vans on some streets in SF. I'd bet that for every person actually on the street there are 10 who are effectively homeless but managing it in a way you can't see. Living at their place of work or study, living in a vehicle, couch-surfing, illegal sublets, and things I'm happy to never have to imagine.

The article the OP posted details many stories of people who are competent to hold down a job, even multiple jobs, but cannot find anywhere to live.
> As much as I've been deeply unsatisfied with a lot of SCOTUS decisions in the past few years, I have to agree with you completely that it is the legislative branch which "should" have resolved nearly all the high-profile (and possibly even medium-profile) cases that have been brought to the court, by passing actual laws.

Most of the high profile cases are:

(1) Questions about the meaning of the laws actually passed, and

(2) Questions about the Constitutional power of one or another branch or level of government.

These classes of questions share the feature that Congress cannot resolve them by passing a law. (At least, if it tries to in thebfiret case, that sets up an infinite regression of laws to pass.)

Yep, I wear a hat and a mask. Keeps the sun off of most of my face.

Sometimes I forget the hat or the mask and then I just wear one.
I used to be a public defender in the LA area, and I used to work with LAHSA.

My 90+% number refers to the chronic homeless, not the temporary homeless for whom financial issues or fleeing domestic violence are the primary causes of their short-term homelessness.

I think #3 could possibly work _if_ it was in conjunction with being housing-first. If SF had an agreement with another city with available housing, I think busing people there _if and only if they have a home ready_ could be a really reasonable solution.

No need to deal with the high housing prices of the bay area, and you're ensuring the person has a place to live when they get to where they're going. Definitely don't do this involuntarily, but I imagine many people (once such a program proves itself) would voluntarily sign up.

Random miscellaneous comment- I found it really challenging to get a part time job around where I lived without a car. One of the interview questions was typically "how will you get to work" and I could see a change in the interviewer's demeanor when I responded that I would walk or have someone drive me. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to get a job without a permanent address on top of that.
Unless you define capitalism as “things I don’t like” then

1) broad individual freedoms have advanced the most in capitalist countries and those freedoms have not seen monitonic decrease since some founding date, rather have seem back and forth swings with a general trend towards more individual freedom in long time scales

2) child labor laws were enacted first in capitalist countries and continue to be stronger in capitalist countries

I don’t see any rebuttal to these that don’t boil down to defining capitalism narrowly enough to exclude countries/economies that the commenter likes more and instead they would define as some brand of socialism.

Capitalism I’m defining here broadly as an economy characterized primarily by individual ownership of resources and production.
There is a certain type of person that clearly gets a sort of intrinsic pleasure from being correct. This leads to a lot of wasted time as this goal only serves to help one “win” in a competitive, social environment. As such, they often miss the forest for the trees.

I gather you may not know any of these types yourself but they’re certainly abundant here on HN, dismissing Dropbox as easily replicated with rsync and other such sentiments.
You can, right now, go buy a mobile home in pretty much anywhere you want for around $40-50k. Why aren't more people buying mobile homes if the housing market is such a problem? The answer to that question is the solution to the thing you think will be an issue.
Ok, I totally agree with that. We will never be able to solve the “how can anyone who wants to live in SF do so humanely” problem but we have a shot of doing it in a region with limited immigration (or humane is applied to legal residents only), like Singapore or Finland.
Canada is more on a “pull” system with immigration. They pick and choose who and how many they want.

Regardless, when he says you cant have both he clearly means its not sustainable. Not that its literally impossible to hold both positions at some moment in time.
When even the LAT is calling out LAHSA's numbers, you know that they can't be trusted...

That being said, LAHSA's numbers combines both the chronic homeless and the temporary homeless. The chronic homeless in LA are mostly not local (and this is what the LAT found when they did their own investigation); the temporary homeless are almost all local (and are mostly due to financial issues or domestic violence), which is what leads to the disparity in numbers.
Yes you're right. Undoing Prop 13 wouldn't mean instant Land Value Tax. But Ill still maintain that Prop 13 is pretty close to a polar opposite of Land Value Taxation

Ask HN: My ChatGPT plug-in is stuck in review limbo. What can I do about it?
I wrote a simple ChatGPT plugin which feeds some daily generated data (along the lines of weather predictions but not) into chat sessions. This plugin was submitted about two weeks ago.

OpenAI's plugin documentation says that plugins will be reviewed within seven days.

So far, my plugin has been tested once by someone from OpenAI - I know this because the X-Forwarded-For is an Azure IP - but other than that, no other traffic from OpenAI.

I see other plugins with similar data/function being added to the plugin store so my plugin isn't violating any terms and conditions (afaict).

Their chat based Help is singularly useless for these types of issues.

I looked for OpenAI employees on LinkedIn to see if they can help but most of them are in leadership or in roles unrelated to support or the plugin ecosystem.

Anyone have suggestions for what I can do to get my plugin reviewed?
I don’t understand why someone would open a Marcus account as it only yields 4.15% vs other higher yielding accounts [0].

I get why someone opens an Apple account as it’s easy and linked to their phone. But it seems kind of dumb to seek out Marcus and go through all that work to miss out on 50 basis points.

It’s not a lot of money, but for a $1000, that’s $5/year. It’s the tip for a coffee.
