The million dollar question is, how or will it ever affect real estate?

Rents have spiked, and no one in my circles can afford to buy anything because there's no inventory, and the little inventory there is is expensive (800k at 7 percent interest rates versus 750, say, at 3 percent a year ago). No one sells due to the low interest rate they're locked into.

This seems like a big economic headwind.
Interesting. We work with some of the largest companies out there, and none of them had an issue with this.

Curious how you are able to create a native integration with, let's say, Vercel without requiring users to opt-out of end-to-end encryption?
To my understanding BDS is effectively neutered in the US.

Israel lobby (AIPAC, DMfI) has spent hundreds of millions defanging any left-based dissent to Israeli policies and pushing for candidates that s don’t dare to say anything about Palestinians much less all the money sent to Israel.
Well, to answer your question, it's because I thought "Mentor Pilot" was an entirely different youtube channel! :/ I'll like this one
tl;dr - Output nuclear fusion power, plasma volume, and magnetic field strength scale differently with reactor size increases

In detail, I'll let someone smarter than me in nuclear physics explain: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/175830/nuclear-f...
Websites aren't stores.

I see your point but I can't find a great analogy - I feel it's more like a kid hanging around/texting with bad apples or something like that

I am not sure how well this will work anyway to keep suggestive content away from children, even big sites like YouTube seem to sometimes tend towards it on the regular front page from time to time
I wonder if the prior owners can retroactively challenge the property tax assessment prior to sale as too high. Even if not, seems like a big hit to city & county revenue.

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training is mandatory for FAA Part 121 (Air Carriers) flight crew.

It is not required for Part 91 (General Aviation/"Private") or Part 135 (Charter) operators.

I'd agree with that and honestly I don't really care too much how our stuff is described except that it seems inaccurate and unfair to apply something like "closed source" to a BSL project that takes PRs, and to insist that only code released an OSI licence can be of benefit to the world.
Strangely obvious advice?
Yes, it's a little buried but the article says

> The energy turnover results from the coupled heating power multiplied by the duration of the discharge

The numbers:

> The energy turnover of 1.3 gigajoule was achieved with an average heating power of 2.7 megawatts, whereby the discharge lasted 480 seconds

Also:

> Within a few years, the plan is to increase the energy turnover at Wendelstein 7-X to 18 gigajoules, with the plasma then being kept stable for half an hour

i.e. 10 megawatts for 30 minutes

Most fusion power systems assume they are doing that as neutrons. D-T fusion conveniently has the proportion of energy that gets lost from the plasma as KE of neutrons be pretty close to the amount of energy that a conveniently sized fusion reactor can afford to remove from the plasma.

Then you trap the neutrons with, for example, a lithium blanket, use them to breed more tritium, and produce energy with a turbine from the heating of the blanket.
Hey, I am one of the co-authors of the post. So the training data for ViGGO has about 5.1k rows which we trained with a block size of 512 (you can lower the block size if you want but we didn't do so because it was just easier to not change code :)). On 16xA10Gs for 7B it took ~15 min per epoch and on 13B it took ~25 min per epoch. So the on-demand cost per epoch is ~$7.2 for 7B and ~$12 for 13B. This is based on the time only spent on the training part and does not take into account the cluster startup time and shutdown time.
State-Issued Identifiers aren’t generally good passwords
Yea, but compare the financial burden of that compared to a solar farm of the same output. Not to mention the technical risk.
Have you tried using places where you can already find distribution?

- ProductHunt

AppSumo is a great place to get some early paid users at an insane deal for early cashflow.

Apart from that, what iterations did you make? Did you change your pricing? Was the website copy right?
Speaking of fusion does anyone know what is going on with SPARC at Commonwealth Fusion Systems? I have been very excited about their system but they are understandably in a deep development and construction cycle after a $2B investment, so all their news page has for the last year are updated business deals and awards. I would love to hear how reactor construction is going.
We really (really) don't need chat gpt for these kind-of questions, all thee is to know is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_substitute

And the answer to your specific question is the 2nd source, linked in the first sentence of the article
> But it’s his own government – not the Israeli Palestinian conflict – that worries Amit most. The judicial overhaul and the uncertainty, disruption and risks that come with it, are forcing him to shift Tipalti’s money and talent overseas, he says.

I find travel advice sites to be a good indicator of how well a country is doing. Check out the gov.uk [1] Israel travel advice, for example.

> Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including places visited by foreigners including the Old City in Jerusalem, on public transport, and in busy public spaces. See Terrorism

> In Israel and the West Bank, there is a risk of violent incidents, including stabbings, shootings, arson, vehicle rammings and stone throwing attacks on people and vehicles.

Nobody likes to live in a state (no pun) of constant fear. A legit government should be able to de-escalate violence.

yes.

no advantage over the smaller more modern dishes, as the more modern dishes are made with better shape tolerances, so they can be smaller and still get the same amount of signal to the satellite.
if the system is like js.org maybe it will attract many people to use it including me because it is more transparent
I disagree. I think users should be aware of any breakage up front, and center. We encourage drivers to recognize warning signs in the operation of their vehicles; we should do the same with browsers. Hiding information from the user is not ethical.

Then again, I also think people should be taught better than to hop on the Web without any training or knowledge. Computers and illiteracy go together about as well as books go with illiteracy. It takes effort to be computer literate, and hiding the information will make that journey to literacy more daunting than it needs to be.
That no one likes to follow.
Most of the comments on this thread make it appear that everyone will be affected by this change. The vast majority wont be affected at all.

This only affects people who are directly competing with hashicorp using hashicorps code. That sounds like a reasonable thing to want to prohibit.

Why should hashicorp have to spend tens of millions on product development only for a competitor to spend zero but be able to offer the same product? That sounds like a net negative for the whole industry as it disincentivizes R&D
Crashed Teslas Are Ending Up in Ukraine and Former Owners Are Tracking Them
How is it moving there? By making supreme court justices be appointed by elected officials (like most other democracies) as apposed to being a self selecting group.
I remember reading about one case where a small busines owner's establishment was vandalized because people wrongly thought he was a jew. His reaction was to clear up the perceived misunderstanding by joining the party. It actually turned out to be profitable for him at first because of the connections he made, but, he was also obliged to continue working with them as well. Even when he didn't want to, because he owed his success to party. The whole thing read like a mafia story.
And then you "discover" that depending on context "Alice" can change as well. In finno-ugric languages there is no prefixes and names change themselves. In Finnish:

Alice is online -> Alice on verkossa

Mail to Alice -> Postita Alicelle

And no, you can't use "%s"+ "lle" either, it depends on name:

Mail to John -> Postita Johnille

Previously TortoiseTTS was associated with PlayHT in some way, although the exact connection is a bit vague [0].

From the descriptions here it sounds a lot like AudioLM / SPEAR TTS / some of Meta's recent multilingual TTS approaches, although those models are not open source, sounds like PlayHT's approach is in a similar spirit. The discussion of "mel tokens" is closer to what I would call the classic TTS pipeline in many ways... PlayHT has generally been kind of closed about what they used, would be interesting to know more.

If you are interested in some recent open to sample-from work pushing on this kind of random expressiveness (sometimes at the expense of typical "quality" in terms of TTS), Bark is pretty interesting [1]. Though the audio quality suffers a bit from how they realize sequences -> waveforms, the prosody and timing is really interesting.

I assume the key factor here is high quality, emotive audio with good data cleaning processes. Probably not even a lot of data, at least in the scale of "a lot" in speech, e.g. ASR (millions of hours) or TTS (hundreds to thousands). As opposed to some radically new architectural piece never before seen in the literature, there are lots of really nice tools for emotive and expressive TTS buried in recent years of publications.

Tacotron 2 is perfectly capable of this type of stuff as well, as shown by Dessa [2] a few years ago (this writeup is a nice intro to TTS concepts). With the limit largely being, at some point you haven't heard certain phonetic sounds before in a voice, and need to do something to get plausible outcomes for new voices.

Because then you're making and monetizing a proprietary product rather than actually monetizing FOSS.
> We've been saying the same things as we watch Mozilla slowly strangle Firefox to death for a decade.

Absolutely not true. I still hear people talking about FF as if it is pre-quantum. They complain about how slow it is. But quantum made it faster and more secure overnight. There's still a lot of people who are complaining and have just never tried it after the big issues were fixed. Or they try it, there's a small cognitive dissonance because checks notes "the interface is horrible", and so they call it slow attempting to justify why they dislike it rather than making an actual criticism or giving it a fair shot. Come on, the UI is almost identical across the board with browsers.

And we're doing this for what... to give Google more power over the internet? I'm sorry, I think it is you who are confusing cause and effect. You participated in the monopolization of browsers and are suffering the consequences of it. Because of a little convenience. The path to hell is indeed paved with "good intentions." Little steps is all it takes to make progress over decades. Unless you can tell me there's a huge major problem with FF that outweighs the ad focused internet, then you have it backwards.

I worked in 5k+ size companies. You didn’t choose your product per se (though you did agree to work for the company on that team), but you had influence over the roadmap and could choose your tickets (even create new ones and create entire — gated — features if you wanted). The team had autonomy and the leads were fantastic at fostering it.
This was quite a big mess! Let’s see if there is a way to break it down in a Safety II fashion.

1. Airline human resources deviated from the traditional practice of hiring experienced rudder and stick pilots.

1. Overly permissive company attitudes toward crew rest and a lack of awareness about how it can affect vigilance and fitness for duty.

1. Breakdown of the ceremonies that transfer command and control in the cockpit.

1. Lack of training for high altitude stall recovery.

1. Activities performed in low altitude stall recovery training scenarios are orthogonal to a successful recovery in high altitude stall scenarios.

1. Automation surprise followed by alert saturation combined with incongruous perceptual signals and loss of situational awareness.

1. Aircraft control systems that failed to resolve the ambiguous delegation of authority (double PF) dilemma.

1. Highly compressed timeline of events in a physically disorienting environment.

1. What else?
You can't jump from idea to production power plant in one step. This is research about the fundamental science involved. What they're doing is incredibly difficult and complex. They have a plasma at millions of degrees mere centimeters from superconductors at near absolute zero. The field geometry and interactions are so complex it brings even current supercomputers to their knees. The device wasn't even possible to simulate until the late 90s using the biggest machines in the world.

What they've already demonstrated is a tremendous accomplishment. But apparently if it doesn't go from idea to an option in door dash in 6 months flat that's not good enough for people here.
Dual licensing (copyleft + commercial) has been a thing for a long time.

Open Core is also a thing, and I think it's better than BSL because at least the core part is truly open.
IMO it's worth distinguishing between (1) pulling out the pocket-computer to accomplish a goal already arising in the real world versus (2) letting it interrupt your attention to pull you into the virtual one with exaggerated importance.

For example, suppose I need to drive to a place I haven't been before. Using the smartphone for navigation allows me to enjoy the actual process of travel much more. I'm not filled with the same anxiety and I can take in more of the new sights instead of squinting at every sign. It makes it easier to "be present" and encourages a sense of freedom--yes, even despite its imperious stream Turn-Here instructions.

In contrast, low-value notifications are the curse, especially those that try to encourage you to care about meaningless stuff you didn't already care about. (Like how many people viewed the informative photos I shared of a small diner's updated menu.) Fortunately it's gotten easier to disable, filter, rate-limit, or change their severity. However it takes some work and discipline to do.
Lol yes. People will fail. Any amoumt is enough to show your test is clearly not one of general intelligence unless you believe not all humans fit the bill.
That isn't accurate. 2.6M are Israeli citizens, they vote etc. Discriminated, yes. But there are laws against that and they are enforced.

3M are in the occupied territories which are technically not a part of Israel so they "technically" don't live in Israel. This is terrible I agree. But this goes both ways. Thanks to the fact that they're not a part of Israel they can become an independent state at some point.

In fact, a lot of what's going on right now is because of the rift within Israeli society which is torn apart about this whole mess.
We need a dose of comedy every now and then.

They should move to using QUIC which is the protocol backing HTTP/3. QUIC incorporates TLS1.3 and has an extension for UDP style unreliable datagrams (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9221/). It would be the perfect way to bring SSL/TSL/HTTPS VPNs onto a modern performant protocol while keeping the simplicity in of the https based VPN. It would still have the advantage of looking like https traffic, while have the performance characteristics of UDP based VPN protocol.

Usenet used to be that. I'd be interested as well. For specific areas, you might be able to find a mailing list (often in the academic sphere). For PL/type theory there's http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/forum/1.
I live in a country where English is not the native language and the idiom is not in common usage, so the literal translation works.

Sometimes I often wonder if it would be useful for more internet forums to allow users to add a flair to denote they are non US, as the assumption on so many sites is that everyone is US and living on the east or west coast.
Now imagine if every driver had the OBD2 connector and the owner's manual explained how to use it...
Even without traffic though, the right lane can be faster because of how many people sit in the left going 65 with nobody in front.
I'm not diminishing the plight of the Palestinians, but their situation is not a sign that Israel isn't/wasn't a democracy. It is pretty easy for democracies to end up abusing a minority of their citizens. That is one of the central flaws of democracy, tyranny of the majority.
> There won't be a "doom loop", just a market correction to relatively normal levels. Free market at work - everyone speculating on real estate professionally knows the risk (or should have known after the 2008ff subprime crisis). Bailing out morons should not be a thing - if no one suffers this time, it's just an invitation for an even worse bubble.

The difference is the doom loop leads to things going below "normal" levels (and "normal" is not really a useful term here). Also, I don't think it's fair to say elevated office building prices in SF were the result of wild speculation - it was one of the most booming employment markets in the US with an incredible dearth of supply. High prices are just economic principles at work. Then something totally unexpected came and upended how we work, and that changed the market entirely - it was an external force, not people paying prices that weren't supported by the rents.
> I don’t know how any sane person thinks a bunch of larpers - even if they themselves don’t see them as such - can defend themselves against a willing US military…

I know, that's why Afghanistan is a shining star of liberalism in the Central Asia. The Taliban never was able to defend itself from the willing US military and was defeated years ago.
Don't you ever get a feeling that life is more than worrying about how to make rent or put food on the table?

Maybe it's just my (relatively) comfortable upbringing in Brazil or me living for over 10 years in Germany, where I see how the Welfare State affords me some peace of mind in knowing that my kids will be okay even if I give up on my career... but "I just better swallow this bullshit and do so for the majority of my productive life or I won't be able to pay rent" has never been a thought that crossed my mind.
I don't think that's why he left his position; he left because he was voted out. Now he's been voted back in. Seems pretty Democratic to me.
There's lots of reasons people 'cheat' in games. In this case it might be:

• You enjoy playing Pokemon but you don't want to or cannot find the time to grind out the few hours of leveling up you need to progress, or to find your specific favourite handful of Pokemon, so you use a device like this to save yourself some time.

• You want to succeed in the competitive space (yes, competitive Pokemon is a thing[0] and is ongoing right now in fact[1]) and you don't want to grind for Pokemon with specific Effort Values, which are the randomly generated numbers that effect how strong your Pokemon attacks are. So you use a device like this, though probably altering a save file would be just as easy and not detectable by Game Freak/The Pokemon Company.

• You don't really care about Pokemon, but you know you can sell Pokemon on eBay[2], so you automate it with a device like this.

I love what the author is doing but I honestly don’t understand the gushing over their writing style. To me, it feels full of speculation and melodrama, exactly the language investigators don’t use when they write the accident reports:

> pilots into a state of paralyzed agitation..

> all the while trying desperately to understand..

> But there is a reason, written between the lines of the cockpit voice recorder transcript, hidden away within the mysterious code that governs human behavior, a key to the secrets of the profoundly irrational. Its lessons could not be more important, even for those who believe themselves above the doomed crew of flight 447, as the boundary between the responsibilities of man and machine grows ever dimmer.

I don’t get it; who cares? We know the equations to burn plasma; that’s the easy part.

The hard part is building a machine that can burn plasma and breed tritium at appreciable rates.

Why even bother with these machines that can never be built economically?
Nit Pet Peeve: Confusing sapience and sentience.
I'm 22 and had no restrictions, now I'm an engineer like you. I think it's worth keeping in mind that the environment you and I were in is different than today. YouTube and TikTok are designed to be so perfectly addictive, they're practically digital crack. Even adults have trouble moderating their usage - young children stand no chance.

I don't think "screen time" is the issue, it's what they're doing on it. Are they doing something creative, or are they mindlessly clicking to feed the click machine? Are they substituting playing with their friends for playing video games?
"The only people I actually feel sorry for are regular homeowners who bought way overpriced properties because they had no alternative. "

But they did have alternatives.
Given what happened in Sweden when he was kicked out of the Ecuadorian embassy and the UK arrested him for extradition to the US, I believe the Swedish accusations were made, and the prosecutions were done, in good faith.

Assange's argument against going to Sweden should've logically also applied to the UK, where he physically was while trying to make the argument to avoid extradition to Sweden, as demonstrated by the UK not even bothering to inform the Swedish authorities when they finally did arrest Assange.
