Probably that it would only take a small uptick in sellers/inventory to push the price equilibrium down and pretty quick you’d see a lot of recent buyers with negative equity. There have been 3 years of eviction protections and despite mortgage defaults going up, foreclosures have dropped. The market has been severely manipulated and at some point it’ll return to a normal market. Also something like 27% of mortgage holders would be forced to sell if they lost their jobs. If we go into a recession, there will be lots of forced sales.
The most productive approach IMO is a little of both. Build designs that are intended to help people do what they want (instead of what you might want), and be loud about it.

Neither being nice nor mean will persuade people working at Microsoft to be different. Being better and letting them know might though.
In fact, the FTC did the opposite, ruling that 1-800 Contacts unlawfully harmed competition when it sued competitors who bid on its name and obtained settlements preventing them from doing so.

The updated SqlQuery function of .NET 8 is pretty cool. It takes a string but safely interpolates the parameters.

"With the new SqlQuery method, you can now write your own SQL queries and map the result to any type that you want.

This is useful for tasks that are not directly related to the day-to-day business of your application. For example, this can be used to import data, migrate data, or to retrieve data from a legacy system."

The $700K purchase price two years ago is worth ~$800K now.
what have you found?
There's a whole bunch of people interested. We're The Federation.
With 3,584 GPUs, or 448 Nodes w/ 8GPUs/node. At 5 nodes/rack, that's 90 racks. I looked and found and old listing for Lambda's Echelon racks about $650k. So the infra cost is a little under $6 million.

If you bought the $2/hr H100 instance they offer, that would cost ~$330k. Pricey, but not too bad.

My bigger hope is that with cheaper compute we can see more architecture search and designs. A lot of different architectures are relatively unexplored due to computational constraints and are typically performed by smaller labs so they don't scale and it is kinda hard to compare models when we're just looking at performance benchmarks and not considering other factors. We definitely don't want big labs to railroad our research directions. Feels weird that a huge amount of NLP is based on using pretrained models and tuning them. Vision is going this way too. You basically can't get published without being SOTA so you basically have to modify an existing model or have a multi-million dollar lab and train from scratch. Really weird to expect academia to compete with big labs and really weird to not let academia take "bigger risks" and explore less popular areas. It is vital to our research path that we don't force everything onto a single track.

> The US being an exception that failed or successfully resisted switching is a false premise in the first place, based on obscure and pedantic definitions of metric acceptance.

I disagree it is a false premise. If you look at major economies – other than the US and UK – >80%, >90% of units encountered in everyday life are metric. In the US, it is more like the other way around. The UK and the US are both outliers from the global average on this, but the UK to a lesser degree than the US is. No other major economy (for any reasonable definition of "major") is an outlier in that sense.

> We learn the metric system in school,

In the majority of countries worldwide, people only learn the metric system at school. The US is an exception in having an education system which still teaches non-metric measurements.

> Sure, Americans also use non-metric units, but that's not as unique as is claimed. First hit for "site:.uk mpg" is "MPG stands for miles per gallon and is used to show how far your car can travel for every gallon (or 4.55 litres) of fuel it uses".

That's not a very good argument – the US and the UK are the only major economies to use miles for road distances (and hence also speed, fuel efficiency, etc). All other major economies use kilometres, not miles.
Is that actually true?

You and others in this thread are concluding that the choices provided are bad ones based solely on the locations of those choices, despite there being no good reason why these people cannot provide the same level of service that could be provided elsewhere (communication issues are curable by hiring the right people, and are not an incurable problem related to the country the speaker is in). This is precisely why I called it thinly-veiled racism. I stand by my original statement for this reason, and it was improperly flagged.

Building codes do vary from locale to locale, and constantly change, which would make it a nuisance to develop a standard design.

Another problem is home designs are adapted to their locations. That doesn't work so well with a cookie cutter design.

Would respectfully disagree. Matching a consumers query to an ad, and optimizing that outcome at a given return on investment threshold is a task best left to a computer to optimize. It is a perfect use case for reinforcement learning, and a computer can work 24 hours a day and you need to sleep. In my experience, 100/100 times the machine beats the confident manual optimizer. We (humans) don't have a great track record in beating computers at these kinds of problems, certainly not a game as simple as optimizing for a high score (driving results from an ad).

This looks really cool! Could you confirm one thing though, which I can't find on your site after ~5 minutes of searching? Do your PM2.5 sensors truly measure PM2.5 or is it doing an approximation based on factors (many sensors supposedly do this).

If it's the former, it might be useful to make that more clear on your site as I could not confirm it.

Good question! Uploaded documents get converted to embeddings within the Nitro Enclave (NE), and then the embeddings are encrypted with a key that only the NE has access to.

When the search endpoint is called the encrypted embeddings are pulled into the NE and decrypted. They are then loaded into a vector db in-memory and the search is executed all within the NE. This adds some latency but it’s more secure because embeddings are only accessible to the enclave.

In the case of chat history it is never stored by the API. The developer can develop their own client side. With CapeChat we keep chat history local on the device.
Though im on the fence with stored procs and have seen complicated messes that make it depressingly no fun to work with I also had very good experiences with systems based around stored procs, not in an abusive dogmatic way. The usual answer I’m going to invoke here is that it depends how the tool is used. Any tool, methodology, philosophy can be borked in various ways, that experience traumatize people that they prefer to move on. Of course some tools are clearly worse or less useful than others but you can find some consensus if you know where to look.
Majority of advertisers on Google lose money.

"According to a study, 40 percent of small business owners stated that their Google Ads campaign yielded no leads. Whereas, an additional 33% of business owners noted that these campaigns produced very few leads."

Just because they think they can justify it doesn't mean they're right. If the best performers are leaving, but management is stubbornly or ignorantly refusing to admit it, that only hides the problem, and the company will eventually fail.
The difference is that the container libc version and kernel version don't have to correspond to each other in any way on Linux (unless your kernel is like 20 years older, in which case it wouldn't support Docker anyway).
I made a very serious attempt at using this awhile back on Arch and it high-key sucks. Like, it's not really meant as a general purpose container runtime solution, it's meant for developing systemd and related software. The ergonomics, particularly around networking are quite bad and it literally requires that you're all in on systemd-networkd and resolved to get any networking at all.
The person you are replying to did not mention gas (just lead blowers in general) but your post seems to only focus on gas leaf blowers. California did not ban electric leaf blowers did they?
When they say it forces client evaluation, what they mean is that any LINQ operations you run after the ToListAsync() will run on the client side - since it's just a normal list in memory at that point and no longer has any knowledge of the database. So if you want to make sure some code will execute client-side, you should ToList or AsEnumerable your query first, then do your additional client-side operations on that list.

The IQueryable operations composed before to the ToListAsync() will run as SQL on the server. In the case of my example it will look pretty similar in structure to the string SQL I wrote before it: a straightforward left join with a where clause. Performance will be similar too. It will not load the entire universe of Foos and Bars and then filter them down on the client.

One of the habits I have developed from working with EF for the past 10 years is to be explicit and as local as possible about forcing the query to evaluate. It lets me pretty reliably predict what the SQL is going to look like.

You can return IQueryables from methods and pass them around through many layers of your program, adding complexity to them as you go, and lazily getting the results at the last possible moment, five layers up the call stack from where the query first started.

It seems at first like that would be good, because that way the maximum amount of logic will run on the DB server, and letting the server do stuff is better, right? But that's also where you open yourself up to being very surprised about what your SQL looks like by the time it executes, with multiple layers of your program each tacking complexity onto the query. It can get ugly. Also you can have problems if you're hanging onto IQueryables that you still haven't executed after you've Dispose()d your DbContext. For this reason I try not to let IQueryables travel very far through my program before forcing evaluation.

You need a broader perspective. Europe is a bigger EV market than North America is at present. European charging networks that are going strong, offer faster charging than Tesla, and are growing include Fastned, Circle K, EnBW, Ionity, Shell, BP, etc.

They've had the benefit of Europe standardizing on CCS type 2 Combo. When everyone can build to the same standard it drives investment and development.
Thanks for echoing my pain. I am paying for the bad decisions taken by a bloke who only knew SQL and used that hammer to bang on every nail he could find. Everytime someone asks why the result of the stored proc is the way it is, I need to manually run the steps one by one until I find the point where an expected row failed a condition and dropped off. And have extra fun wrapping those statements with declarations incase you are heavily using declared variables in those statements. To top it off, if you are troubleshooting in an environment where you don't have insert/update permissions, you day just became amazing. Fuck you to those who use stored procs without strong justification (like high volume data processing on database side where it totally makes sense).

By version control, I assume you mean the inability to use different versions simultaneously without hacks, unlike a library built using Java where you get to pick and choose the version you want to use. Because of you mean version control of stored proc sources, that would be just like a normal git asset.

There is no such thing as inheritance, you route your data through different functions. There is no such thing as private data, its all public by default.

You can still have strict types I guess, to make sure you are passing the right kind of data into the right function. But most of my experience coding this way is js and lua.

I only code like this for my home projects, I have no idea what it would be like working in a team of 10 programmers all rushing to jam new features into a giant code base.

I sit (and eat) at bars all the time and sometimes people will ask me what I'm reading and strike up a conversation or sometimes I can't help but overhear a bit and ask if I can join the conversation.

Sometimes you go to bars or restaurants to meet new friends, have interesting conversation, be a bit more visible in public.

You also try to take "no" for an answer and butt out of any conversation that doesn't want you.

All of that applies to Mastodon, whether or not it ever applied to Twitter and Twitter is a very different beast (as an "old timer" on Twitter, I personally preferred when "bar politeness" was much more common than the engagement obsessed public stage it became and wanted to be, and there was a period early on where it felt common).

Mastodon is far more follower-focused. Most conversations are assumed to be among followers/mutuals, even on the so-called "public feeds". Most of the so-called "public feeds" are scattershot across instances and only the instances of posting members of a conversation and maybe a subset of their the followers often truly have accurate views. The "distance to the next bar stool" (much less the "next table") on Mastodon is always further than it ever was on Twitter. A lot of people (including myself) like that about Mastodon. (I certainly left Twitter because I thought all the tables were far too close together in 2016 and that was starting to feel claustrophobic, to bend the analogy towards breaking.)

On top of that, it's not just good etiquette on Mastodon. Many instances have, for instance, strict robots.txt files that make an even clearer distinction that the "next table distance" entirely excludes crawlers and search engines and archivist bots, and is just for only maybe "the person sipping a drink at the next bar stool over". Many instances have defederation policies designed to maintain "proper table distance" with what they perceive to be bad actors.

That's relevant here of course because we're talking about why some instances feel it very necessary for social etiquette to keep Meta at a large "table distance" because they don't trust Meta to understand etiquette. It's somewhat circular logic, but it is entirely rational and logical in how a lot of people see Mastodon as its own sort of quirky "restaurant" and want to defend that quality of it. Which is why I like the restaurant analogy because it is a social norm, it is a social etiquette, it actively needs defending, and the problem isn't that it is a broken "analogy" that doesn't fit Mastodon, the problem is that it is a good analogy that needs to be taught to more people. I'm happy to see you on the bar stool next to me on Mastodon, pull up, take a drink, try to join a conversation, but I want you to take "no" for an answer if I don't want you in that conversation, and I want you to appreciate that I don't want you tape recording the whole conversation without asking or I will feel like punching you (even if I can't find the ssh sudo command to do that easily).
US hits Chinese labs over fentanyl
Historically and even in current times, killing without shedding blood or without cutting thrhough the neck and beheading the animal is considered improper, taboo or defiling it in many cultures. What you said about commercial slaughterhouses is probably true, I've heard they wring chicken necks to break them as well. The problem with that is , it feels like you are slaughtering after killing as opposed to slaughtering as part of killing. I don't really know the specifics more than what people have told me but it is hugely frowned upon to not spill blood right away. May have something to do with how ritual animal sacrifice in many cultures required the animal's blood to be spilled into something and the blood of an already dead animal is not ok?

Keep in mind, modern animal killing has to be "humane" as in be acceptable to people who never get close enough to see that stuff. Similar to capital punishment I suppose.

The concept of an honorable/respectful killing is strange to modern western minds who only care about minimizing pain as a measure of cruelty.
