> the government should mandate that commute time is included in office hours.

This is would have a bunch of perverse outcomes you probably haven’t considered. Employers would immediately start to consider the commute times of candidates before hiring them. Longer commute times is a feature of cheaper housing, so that would correlate to employers discriminating against candidates of lower socioeconomic standing. Which would in turn correlate to discrimination against the ethnic groups that are over represented in those lower socioeconomic groups.

It’s basically only a good idea if you’re trying to intentionally constrain social mobility.
And many died in car crashes and other accidents on their commute

On the other hand, the EU caps credit card fees at 0.5% by law while in the US merchants will pay 3 times that at a minimum.

I suspect that in the US CC processors are incentivized to increase their processing fees to cover the cost of fraud instead of building features to prevent it because they can and it's easier than building features. Businesses are incentivized to increase prices to cover the cost of fraud (and CC processing costs) since processors offer such poor tooling to prevent it.

In the US the burden of fraud prevention is squarely on the honest consumer's wallet.
Sounds like a great reason to go back to the office!
My favorite Vanguard fact is their HQ. It's a shitty set of lowrise buildings in suburban Philly - not some massive highrise in Manhattan or JC. Their whole thing is automation and saving money.

BlackRock? Different story, but Vanguard? Comeon.
I wish that "working remote" translated into "live and travel wherever I want" for everyone.

So many companies now have policies that restrict where you work from for tax/payroll purposes, or because they don't want employees working in country where the employee doesn't have the proper visa (even if working for a US company).

The benefit of concentrating people together is that it also concentrates capital, which makes people rich, which allows them to do things like buy expensive homes.

Spread people around and the sticker price will be lower, but the capacity to buy the homes will be reduced commensurately.
Yes, I saw that, there are some more obvious translation errors.
A truly ridiculous amount of current work could be automated with today's tech and massive capital investment. And by today's tech, I don't even include current advances in ML. Every single worker at, say, a McDonald's is doing a job that could be automated with some capital investment. Retail stores, likewise. Self-driving vehicles are trivial when you stick 'em on rails, there's a big chunk of the cargo industry gone. Longshoreman-free ports, all that and more.

Then you get into the world of white collar work, where the "let's optimize society to minimize toil" solution, by and large, is to just eliminate the job wholesale. Accounting exists because the tax codes are too complicated, so streamline them and their jobs could be done by some API calls and Excel formulas. The entire finance sector is superfluous if money isn't the driving motivator in society. Entire militaries can be replaced by a "If we are attacked, we glass everyone we have even minor beef with" MAD systems. Trash pickups can be automated by tube systems. Food production is already largely automated outside of the produce aisle, so maybe we just cut back on foods that we can't harvest mechanically.

Frankly, the biggest sector that couldn't be fundamentally altered by a such a societal shift using just yesterday's tech is construction.
Indeed, as are concentrated forms of human habitation, and, your point is?
I agree. I wasn't very clear. When I said, "make everyone happy" I guess I meant something closer to, "be satisfactory".

People are extremely divided on this, and I think part of the issue is that it's just the wrong problem to solve so all you have is bad solutions.
Tailwind CSS is fast fashion. Gives you a fresh look in a cost/time-effective way, entirely not sustainable w.r.t. the environment, but sells like hot cakes in any case.

The reality for better or worse is it's good enough for most companies and engineers.
FCC allows blocking traffic from robocall-friendly provider One Owl
One of my biggest complaints about Tailwind complaints is they invariably start talking about the output - lots and lots of classes applied to lots and lots of elements. I don't buy it for the same reason I never bought the "semantic markup" stuff - the code exists to be parsed by a computer, and a human reading it is secondary. This is 1000x more true for simple web sites/themes, as opposed to applications which at least will have more maintenance.

Yes, a developer will read 100 lines of code for every line they write, so the DX is important. But the number of times you read the code pales in comparison to the number of times the page gets loaded by a user. Being able to build that quickly and move on is so much more important that having a lot of classes on your p tags.
I think it has the opposite effect on housing.

Big cities are built for many ppl. Allowing 100% remote work makes it possible to move to smaller towns/cities, which are not prepared for the extra intake.

Many towns struggle with this exact issue in Australia. You can view it as just a temporal issue as it will settle on the long term. But on the short term many of the locals can not afford to live in the town they grew up and the same goes for their children too.

Unless the "low quality" part is actually causing the superconductivity. Remember the multiple simulations that showed Cu replacing Pb at a less favorable site (energetically) was better for superconductivity than at a more favorable site. It's possible "high quality" samples actually have less "imperfections", which seem important for the superconductivity.

Audible reportedly only pays 25% to authors, bumping it up to 40% if they agree to exclusivity on Audible.

I've run Stable Diffusion locally (both from the cli and later using GUI wrappers) and that used my GPUs, I've also run Llama locally but I believe that was on the CPU (I used both llama.cpp, cli, and Ollama, gui). So to sum it up: yes? Or at least it's good enough for me.
That paper contains an interesting reference to an exact generalization of the KF to a flat initial condition. I hadn’t seen that before and solves numerical issues that come from the common practice of just picking a large initial covariance. In practice, I haven’t seen any notable numerical artifacts from doing that, but it’s quite an appealing fix!
I lived in Courthouse for years. Obviously this is an opinion, but I don't view that corridor as a city.

It's a dense suburb with high rises along the corridor. It's metro accessible between Rosslyn, Courthouse, Clarendon and Ballston, but only along the strip. The metro is also so deep in areas and so slow to arrive, that going down and waiting usually takes longer than biking or walking or driving. Anything interesting in the area also requires a car. The corridor itself is barely human scale in terms of distance. Stores are very spaced apart. You can walk minutes and barely leave the alcove of your particular high rise. To me it's the worst of all worlds. Annoying to drive in, but too car centric to be truly walkable and not dense enough to make the metro really make sense. As soon as you leave the main corridor it also becomes single family homes with nothing going on. I will say, biking is a true pleasure though.

While DC as a whole might be less walkable than that corridor, it definitely has a city feel that I think is hard to put into words. I think it has a much more even density of housing, stores, and restaurants that you don't find in newer developments that tend to segregate zoning. It's a much more interesting place to exist in for the average human. It's why I don't think they two areas are interchangeable at all.
It's a typical incremental game-reset finish, if that works as a non-spoilery answer. AFAIK there's only one, and no reset bonus / nothing changes after it. The full story is readable through the decrypter.

I can elaborate if you'd prefer, just figure I should try to stay safe by default :)
Nah, it's not an improvement for me.

It's an abstraction, but a poor one. It's too low-level to be truly useful, and it's also confusing as some properties doesn't mean the same as in CSS.

You end up with huge unreadable blobs, reminding me of the "write-only" label that Perl once used to have.

And the answer to avoid that unreadable blob is to include CSS, defeating the point.

I prefer CSS/SASS with variables for customization (so you don't have to repeat the blobs) and well-chosen class names (so you can actually read and modify existing code).
As an atheist I agree. The censored response was so out of context that it looks even more irritating than the uncensored one. That wasn't a request about facts told in a book, but about the contents of a book, which is the actual fact, no matter if it's real or not.

In a different context, it could be something like:

Q: "Can you tell when Donald Duck and Daffy Duck took a trip on Popeye's boat?"

A: "I'm sorry but Donald Duck, Daffy Duck and Popeye are all unreal characters, therefore they cannot meet in real life.

While the correct answer should be:

A: "Donal Duck, Daffy Duck and Popeye are all from different comics and cartoons franchises, therefore they cannot meet in any story"

If you look at consumption vs production co2 emissions statistics they're pretty close. Manufacturing isn't a huge portion of emissions, and we export a lot of goods to China as well.
In comparison to FF it’s small of course. But it’s billions of tons, globally more than Germany’s footprint. Which is larger than most peoples assumptions, hence the “huge”.
The issue with “non commercial” is that no, it’s not well established. Licenses with a NC clause are so problematic to be practically useless. If you just want to use something at home privately you don’t need a CC license… a CC license is for use and redistribution.

It's not even clear in retrospect; the minutes of the Imperial war cabinet show they were confused as to what was going on after the first bomb.

Note that there was a third bomb scheduled and in preparation and it was decommissioned and returned to Los Alamos.

Also note that the conventional bombing of Tokyo just a few months prior caused greater destruction and loss of life.

Evaluations have to be made in context, which is very hard. There was a lot of anger and pain on both sides, which lead to irrational "momentum" in prosecution of war. Also there is the logic of industrial warfare: look at Europe: many smaller German cities were bombed for the first time just in the the last month of that war, because a huge machine had been switched on that just kept emitting planeloads of bombs which had to be dropped somewhere.

Most of Tailwind's class names follow a regular pattern and match very closely to the actual property names. It's much closer to learning legal shorthand than a new language.
This game is probably one of the best inputs if you want to make estimates about the Drake Equation. Can you really trust every member of every advanced alien species not to hear the siren call of a hypothetical Hypnodrone? One might imagine a galaxy collapsing, the most streamlined self-replicators peeling off "seeds" that start their gravitational brake from ninety-five percent of the speed of light, collapsing the cooler matter of a solar system before waiting to tear apart any local suns and forging enormous linear accelerators so they can begin firing at other unconverted systems in the Orion Arm.

It has meaning. By looking at a table in e.g. getopt() call and an output of --help I can often infer modes of a program that I probably need, to do my job when someone asks me to. Whether this getopt() gets called or if a program does what it claims in usage() is not my concern. I was commanded to guess the usage and I do it without burying into the halting problem. And so does that hypothetical AI.

So pytorch will fall back to CPU on a Apple Silicon. Ideally it would use Metal for acceleration (MPS) instead of just plain 'CPU', but if you replace CPU with MPS you'll probably run into a few bugs due to various Autocast errors and I think some other incompatibility with Pytorch 2.0.

At least that is what I ran into last time I tried to speed this up on an M1. It's possible there are fixes.

Off-topic: I didn't like the serif font so opened Dev Tools to modify the CSS for more comfortable reading. I'm amazed, the page is a giant TABLE, it uses BODY BGCOLOR, so a 90's style web design. There's CSS being used though.

I guess it's an institute dependant on grants, where they can't just blow money on a website redesign...
Exactly it's quite possible that 'worse' is actually 'better' and vv. I'm sure that it won't be long before that will be resolved though, this is all happening so fast that such important answers will be sought by more than one team.
It seems strange though to make a mobile app instead of a mobile website which functions exactly like the app.
It's centralized.
Yes, in my world companies willingly choose to do more than strictly legally required minimum so that they have good evidence that they are good stewards of the environment. If you want to run a business and make billions of dollars, you should be required to do negative harm to the world, and be punished if you attempt to violate that social contract.

The onus should ALWAYS be on you PERSONALLY as someone being PERSONALLY enriched by the company you own and or run, to not poison the world. If you are worried that it will eventually come out one of your products is harmful to the environment and yet you've basically dumped it everywhere, maybe do enough diligence to convince yourself that you will be safe, or DO NOT SELL A DANGEROUS OR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT TO PERSONALLY ENRICH YOURSELF TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

Why should businesses exist solely to enrich their owners at the expense of the average human? Doing so should be one of the most heinous crimes.

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, Series B, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the ocean sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the ocean for generations to come.

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

As someone working on systems that handle trillions of message per day in Java, I find this hard to relate to. Is it bad code? Some critical infrastructure flaw? Misunderstanding of memory options settings or how they work in containers?

Startup time is definitely a concern. Good luck on the throughput front though. Java libs (like Netty) still outpace what's available in Rust. You may end up with your own code being more performant, but the things you rely on externally being slower. This was our experience when trialing re-writes in Rust.

I'd like some ground-laying legislation about the use of the words "buy" and "sell". As a sanity-check, none of the "buying" and "selling" that happens on platforms like playstore, appstore, steam, prime video etc should be allowed to be called "buying".

Use "pay-once renting" or "lifetime rent" or whatever. "Buying" should be reserved for transactions where the other party cannot (not "must not". cannot!) take back what they sold without involving a third party like the state.

I have a bunch of projects (micro sites) that all use the same style, so I just import all my utility classes, so .Card looks the same across projects. Using SCSS and nesting helps me keep things like colors and other "attributes" organized across projects.

The problem I'm solving for is NOT having to find/replace every tailwind-spam across several projects/components/frameworks if I want to add a new "color" property to a .Card, or change the padding, or whatever. I just change the source utility, then link to the file (with Git / package.json linking), so the one change can be applied across projects.

If I followed what the founder and docs said, I'd have to spend every waking hour find/replacing text across all my projects.
