My understanding is that "living in the same county as your last housing" can mean that you moved to California with enough money to rent a room for a month before running out. Though, I have seen many other surveys that do indicate that most unhoused individuals have lived in the area for an extended period before factors forced them out (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/06/us/homeless-population.ht...).

In any event, I feel that metric used by UCSF is really not a good one to the point where it's almost dishonest. It's not hard to come up with questions that do a better job at trying to answer whether CA is burdened by individuals moving from out-of-state to make use of more generous social programs and/or lax drug policy.

For context, here is my entire comment:

> This thread of discussion isn't central to the idea of predictive debugging. In the spirit of my tiny influence on curating the most useful discussion, I'm going to help move it down the page. I'm not commenting one way or the other on the particular claims. (P.S. Having only one ranking mechanism inevitably leads to the conflation of user intentions. There are better ways out there; for example, I recommend the side-walking crustacean forum.)

I can't control your interpretation, but I can assure you I didn't intend to insult anyone. Not all criticisms are putdowns.

Think of my comment this way: it was an explanation of my downvote, which gives the commenter some feedback. Most downvotes don't give feedback. Per the golden rule, I prefer constructive criticism, so I gave it.

Your interpretation (claiming that my comment was a putdown) was uncharitable. Your choice when quoting me was selective and did not give the whole context.

No one acts in isolation. We are part of the patterns of many cultures. I regret that many people, including myself, have a tendency to rapidly escalate a situation. [1] They often jump from a valid feeling of discomfort to an accusation of intended harm. This is unwise, unfair, and destructive. We need to be able to criticize ideas without someone taking personal affront.

You don't seem to acknowledge that I am aiming for a higher principle: useful, on-topic discussion. You don't have to agree with the principle to acknowledge that is the motivator of my comment.

I'm criticizing your ideas. I'm hopeful if we met in person we could have an amicable conversation. If you like, we can do a video call. I'm serious. These kinds of misunderstandings are small but damaging to the fabric of what we have here.

[1] I'm rather liberal when it comes to policy solutions. I say this for people that are swayed by tribalism: in many ways, I'm metaphorically 'on the same team' as people that speak up for the less fortunate. Standing up for civil rights and equality under the law is laudable. But this is quite different from uncharitably assuming bad intentions and "calling out" people. The latter undermines the core principles of civil discussion and probabilistic reasoning. In my view, civility and evidence work together quite well. Here's how: once you recognize the limits of your ability to divine someone else's intentions, particularly with only written text, it becomes illogical to accuse them of malice.
> you can make the wire as thin as you want

No, superconductors have a specific current above which they stop superconducting so you will want to stay away from that limit. This particular superconductor has been presented with a very low Ic (150 mA in the original paper0 which would not make it particularly useful in such applications but future iterations (assuming it is all true) may improve on that (they should otherwise we have the equivalent of a superconducting straw).
My kids are teenagers who have stopped texting almost altogether. They do more facetime and other video conferencing. When I need to get a hold of either, I actually call. Texting stopped working years ago as a means to get a hold of them.

Both are going to be seniors and have told me all their friends have all but abandoned texting and besides facetiming, they spend a LOT of time on conference calling when they're mobile gaming.

It would appear communications continue to evolve over time from generation to generation. I thought once texting took hold, phone calls would become obsolete. I guess not. There's a lot more interesting things they do with tech these days, but I was fascinated with how their communication habits have changes so rapidly even in their own short lifetime.

Autosaving unnamed files is for some reason a feature not many tools implement. I think I've first seen it in Notepad++ and it just makes so much sense. The only thing I found that works like that without getting into sessions etc is Mousepad. It's also very fast to start. Don't know about highlighting. It probably doesn't exist. I would also give Kate a look. It's more capable than it looks at first and is my current note taking solution with a nested folder structure with md files. (It has recursive folder search and tree view of the folders. All I need)
bloop (YC S21) | Rust AI Engineer | Onsite | London, UK

We're a YC + tier-1 VC backed startup, working on an AI chat assistant for software developers that can answer questions about any large codebase.

About you: you hack around with GPT on the weekend, maybe you even fine-tune some of these new open source models. But you're also a solid programmer, capable of not just prototyping a nice demo but also shipping performant code that can scale. You're probably quite good at what you do, maybe you were top of your class, or maybe you rose the ranks to your comfortable management role, but yearn for the days of writing code, redbull and deploying on a Friday.

We're a small team, looking for one individual to join us in London, in-person at least 3 days per week.

Please reach out to me at join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN Rust Engineer" in the subject line and a note about why this is exciting and a link to your portfolio or linkedin/resume.

P.S. Our stack is Rust, so it's likely the role will go to a candidate with Rust experience but if you think you have something to offer that compensates for lack of Rust we should chat anyway!

> People who would have never tried it before now do so because the stigma is gone, and it's trivial to get. This part is always lost on the "legalize everything" crowd. While marijuana might be relatively benign, other drugs are not. Removing the stigma and making it easy to get harder drugs is going to be a net-negative thing for society as a hole.

That doesn't entirely follow. Marijuana is widely known to be benign, and so it's not much of a surprise that usage rose with legalization. Other drugs are known to not be benign, so you're not going to find a ton of people going "hey, why not try some heroin?"
> the “reskinned” claim is complete nonsense

With me that's a straw man, I haven't been using the word "reskinned".

The way he mentions Chromium proves my point that it's a distribution of Chromium.

Chrome is a browser because Google has Chromium, and they've chosen Chrome as the name for their distribution of Chromium. But it is also a distribution of Chromium.

A shocking number of people really only look at the payment. You aren't wrong... sigh.
It is, but as we have witnessed for decades, and intensely more so in recent years, the application of the law is inversely proportional to the wealth of the defendant.
The stated goal of both is the same: to provide a privacy-preserving primitive for anti-abuse. Both explicitly state that the goal is not to exclude competing browsers or operating systems or to limit things like browser features or extensions.

You're just assuming that they're both lying about the motives, and making up the worst possible motives you can think of for each. I think in both cases you're wrong, and the stated goal is the actual goal. (Apple is not looking to lock down their platform with this, and Google is not thinking about ad blockers at all here.)

Their reasons for needing such an anti-abuse primitive are not the same, but the mechanisms are very similar, and the range of attestations they could provide without public opinion or regulatory backlash is probably almost identical.
The main problem had to do with fields inside a custom component not updating the tree (document JSON?) properly. These components could be nested, they had each a title and another variable-content field into which other components could be nested into. The title was a div.contenteditable and I had a hard time getting it to sync with the tree, some components were never able to do this. https://imgur.com/a/qKg9UUs (SFW, apparently imgur has a new policy?)

It might be somewhat similar to the "details" extension, but they were also drag and droppable. The drag and drop support was also somewhat subpar compared with TinyMCE, I ended up using vue.draggable.next to solve the issues, but this added a layer of huge complexity.

Then there was an issue that the UniqueID is a Pro extension and it would have been required for properly storing the document. I now see that pro extensions are free, after registration, but I'm not sure if it was always like this, I think it was coupled to a GitHub sponsorship back then (maybe around August 2021). For a side project which would then sit at rest for some months this wasn't feasible. I think I implemented a custom UniqueId to get around this, but I haven't touched the project for over a year.

About 2 months ago I was thinking about rewriting it in React and see if I could turn it into something, but I haven't found the time.
Sure. Not jobs for me. I wouldn’t do it either out of principle. Someone else can.

USD will be great for animators, but I think the biggest beneficiaries will be AI's. The question of how and at what layers AI could interact with 3D art and still give the final aesthetic decision to humans with a true artistic eye left a big gap in willingness to use AI for 3D projects.

If, essentially, they are speaking the same language as humans, this curation becomes trivial and the cost of incorporating AI becomes purely artistic in nature rather than a technical or organizational cost. There will be no downside for a 3D artist to tell the servers "render this scene, but generate a few different versions if you finish before I get back to work tomorrow" in the worst scenario it is electricity used, in the average scenario it can inspire new ideas, and in the ideal scenario it creates something usable.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here? Policymaking to limit access to unhealthy food isn't particularly controversial and if there weren't more pressing issues were I live I'd love for politicians to push it further.
Superconductor Breakthrough Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing

What are the sizes of those black markets? They're tiny, and limit the violence they do (since customers are willing to pay a slight premium for peace).

Hell, if it was legalized, we could limit the price by law... cost + 2% (or whatever margin the pharmaceutical companies would need to not refuse). They would out-compete the cartels in weeks.

Pretending that the black markets would remain to any great degree is just disingenuous.
There's a Western/Japan cultural gap here. Ghibli movies are not different from other anime. The reason anime stars women is because the animators are horny and like drawing women first, marketing second, and because they're feminists maybe like tenth. (Miyazaki's waifu is Clarissa from Castle of Cagliostro.)

And the opposite happens too; a work where all the characters are men is usually by/for women, and a lot of things Japanese women love to write look like "ugh some perverted guy did this" to unfamiliar Western readers, making it tricky to localize romances.

> The fumes from a hot teflon pan can kill birds.

Thank you, I was unaware of that. Important to note that it happens only when the pan is grossly overheated (280C/580F) [1]. For reference frying an egg is done at 300F.

Still a concern, it's not that hard to imagine being distracted and leaving an empty pan on a coil set to high, it will likely reach 600F after a few minutes.

> Not everything scales well. Sometimes you just have to spend to fix.

I don't get how we can be pushed to decriminalize drugs and then be asked for tremendous resources to treat the drug abuse we enabled? Those asks cannot coexist: if drug abuse is costing society billions or trillions of dollars in resources to fix, why do we allow it in the first place?

> The money is more important than people being rehabilitated?

I don't understand why we have to pay for other people's mistakes. Eventually, they have to take responsibility for their own choices, especially if we have allowed that choice (if you think drug crime is victimless so shouldn't be punished is true).
Doesn't the Linux Foundation take care of all that?

> Is the war on drugs a failure in Singapore too?

Considering that thousands of people are arrested for drug possession every year in Singapore, to say nothing of the number of people who use drugs in Singapore and avoid legal action, then yes.

> The question then is whether we are willing to tolerate the level of enforcement necessary.

Drug use is rampant even inside prisons, which are literally the most surveilled and draconian environments on the planet. If a carceral approach to preventing drug use doesn't work even within prisons, what makes anyone think it can work in society at large, even if people were willing to turn all of society into a police state?

"ordinary"? "common"? "working class"? "not fitting with the gentry"?

A basic slob like you, you mean?
That's probably true. Decriminalization is an imperfect first step that can be taken unilaterally by the executive branch while the legislative is deadlocked. In time society grows accustomed to decriminalization and the true legalization is more feasible.

In California the decriminalization of magic mushrooms has caused lots more people to start growing them, so price, quality, and diversity are better than ever. That probably wouldn't be the case with other drugs that aren't as easy to produce just anywhere. Although opium poppy field or coca greenhouses are definitely possible.
> Can I have my flying car now?

I ditto the sentiment. But we don't want literal flying cars. Well, self driven flying cars. Humans have enough problems when they're driving on the ground on ground made for driving.
i run emacs in a terminal. graphics emacs is too fancy for me.

i’ve got firefox and webkit2gtk if i’m feeling fancy.
I used to feel that too but not anymore. Now when I boot up chrome to test something I don't notice a difference. I think it's improved quite a bit over the last few years.
I'm good enough at remembering to test my changes that I only need to resort to my backup of my emacs customizations 4 or 5 times a year.

(I test by starting a second emacs, so I can used the still-running first instance of emacs to fix the regressions.)

To add, I've known many folks who were infrequent users of cocaine, about once or twice a year during holidays or parties or the like.

I also knew one person who worked in finance and EVERYONE did coke; he wasn't addicted and stopped using when he switched fields (he hated the 80h weeks).

These anecdotes contrasted heavily with my experience in the Bronx in the 80s, where drug users were overwhelmingly drug abusers and generally awful people. I still won't use recreational drugs (other than caffeine and alcohol) but I don't judge people who do.
Could this not also have a big use case outside of superconductivity? Decellerators or accelerators for maglev trains or similar?
I think that is definitely happening, but it might just be Tesla that does it. Their next wave of products is less than two years away and at least one of the products is clearly focused on cost.

GM seems to have a similar plan for the Bolt, but it is completely possible that they will mess it up again.

I agree with your algorithm, it is equivalent to cosine similarity. But you might also consider whether you need all the shards at all. Maybe you can get away with a half or even a tenth of them. If you have some metric like ndcg you can measure the drop in performance and consider the trade off.
What about the owners and C level execs, are they reduced to zero personal assets yet? This infatuation with letting rich companies go with a slap on the wrist because of some "prove willful negligence" is silly. Certain actions, including polluting the entire world, should be proof enough on their own. You shouldn't get away with something just because you CHOSE not do enough research beforehand to be aware of dangers.

>We either need some kind of intrinsic motivators, i.e make it in the interest of corporations to protect the environment.

You do this by deleting any company that shows itself to be poor stewards of the environment, and making sure it really really really hurts, financially, for the ones who profited from it, including high level management. "Just doing my job" shouldn't suffice when your job is overseeing a chemical of unknown danger.

When involving yourself in an unethical company means you lose your fortune, the incentives will be aligned. If that means rich people do extensive due diligence before involving themselves in anything, surely that's a good thing right?
