New Rochelle, NY: The Suburb That Defied NIMBYs
I think many readers here are familiar with the coined term "enshittification" which describes a common life cycle of tech products where they eventually are modified to prioritize shareholders instead of their users. It has happened to software like Docker Desktop, Reddit, etc. where a few years go by and everyone is using the software and then, when the ostensible vendor lock-in is at a peak, the shareholders decide the product will be hard for customers to divest from and they want to commercialize the lock-in by charging for what was previously free. If that happens to ChatGPT, now that many content creators are legally protecting their content from becoming training data, would there be any viable free or low cost alternatives?

I’m thinking about data for an LLM from a different angle for ecommerce analytics.

1. Build up a set of instructions on how to interpret a particular type of data in the system prompt

2. Run a set of analysis and instead of outputting the data in tabular form, output natural language versions of the metrics (if they are worth thinking about)

3. Pass the instructions to the LLM to interpret them based on the system prompt

The theory is you can run a number of these analysis and feed the results into another system prompt to do an overall analysis.

It’s a theory at this point but it could work!

I call individual homes intermixed with small buildings the ideal density. Like in some (not so much) EU areas, where for instance you have few schools in ~10km (~6 miles) radius, a couple of restaurant, maybe a small grocery shop, perhaps a pharmacy and so on. People still need to travel but being spread there are not much traffic nor parking issues and the ability to integrate remote workers and many in person workers keep the model functional.

When some tech change there is space to change. Let's say there is room for a water-water geothermal heat pump instead of a previous methane combustion based heating, there is room for p.v., domestic charging for cars and so on. Something that can't be done in a dense city.

I see there is a lot of fair critiques about tailwind, many I agree with.

But as someone who works on UIs built with react, it's nice to not have then need to leave my JSX components - html, js, and css (via tailwind) are all nicely colocated. Especially nice with the vscode extension that shows the css rules of the underlying css decleration.

I agree that fundamentals trump all, but tailwind is a nice css abstraction that hits my use case well.
> Not quite, the problem is water isn’t being used efficiently. Agriculture wastes a great deal of water to evaporation because it’s cheaper not because it’s required.

The water evaporates because of the sun. Have you solved the growing crops without a sun problem?

Everyone wants to make one of the most efficient crops (alfalfa) the enemy. But alfalfa growers are not subsidized by the government at all.

Do you know which crop is? Corn. Corn wastes many times more water per acre than alfalfa, but is rarely mentioned in such HN threads. Gotta keep that "clean" ethanol flowing.
I'm 50 and spent most of the 90s building Windows GUI apps. I think you misremember it. As a general rule dialogs (especially the ones built with dialog builders) were static with fixed pixels sizes; double the screen resolution and the dialogs were half-size. Layouts were extremely static; even Java AWT's primitive flow layouts were almost revolutionary by comparison to what was available in MFC et al.

Modern web design is a mess, yes, but it's vastly more sophisticated than what was available in the 90s and I would not choose to go back.
Well I think they were saying that (1) internally at Twitter there were millions of references to the realDonaldTrump account in slack/email (plausible) and (2) there were a ton of external communications about the account which were probably not material to this request.

I think money will get put into autoimmune research due to long covid, which might help with allergies too, and yeah, gut biome will almost certainly be part of that. We should acknowledge too that different genotypes need different diets.
The source was literally the law. If you want to gaslight people into believing it doesn't say what it does maybe you need to look internally at why you're doing that. Why does it upset you that this law is being scrutinized? I have a feeling it's because you've been sucked into a cult like ideology that says a certain group should never be questioned.
Im confused as to how you reached the conclusion that probiotics and those supplements speeds up the recovery, if your data points are 1) that took 9 months to recover and 2) that only happened in the last week. Is it that this week's brain fog has already gone away and the only difference you can think of is taking those things? In which case it's really nowhere near enough data points to draw conclusions.

Really, even for stuff like people saying "when I get a cold, I always recover faster if <x>" is almost certainly either a placebo effect, or a random opinion that may or may not align with actual medical reality. Because not only does something like "a cold" or "a flu" or "covid" cover many variants rather than being a single identical type of infection, but even if they somehow knew that every time they had been infected by an identical form of a virus there are still so many variables such as how much of the virus initially breached their body, how much sleep they'd had in the lead up to and post- infection, what they'd been eating around the time, etc etc

Which is why we use studies looking at large numbers of people to figure out what does and doesn't help recovery rather than relying on anecdotes.

And in your case it seems like even less data than someone making a judgement based on potentially dozens of colds over their lifetime, it's just one or two data points?

(Although since probiotics and vitamin supplements won't, in typical doses, cause any harm except to your wallet, there's certainly no harm in taking them after a sickness - and even if there isn't a link between them having a physical impact in speeding up recovery, they could still or course work wonders as placebos too!)
'grep' or 'SELECT' would have really made me laugh though.
Doctors spreading misinformation in a pandemic have clearly violated their oath but what concerns me more is the lack of accountability from licensing bodies.

It would do a lot to restore people's faith in the medical field if bad actors lost their license. The total lack of accountability undermines the integrity of the medical profession and the public's trust.

It's insane to me that a doctor who tells their patients that their illness is caused by demon sperm and that medications are made from alien DNA continues to be allowed to practice medicine in the US. What does it take for a doctor to lose their license at this point?

> Why do you think this water is not priced at market value?

Because farmers can't take their water and sell it for more money to someone else, and they have no incentive to economize on water usage. Water prices are not set by supply and demand, they are set by government regulation. The "market" that farmers buy water in is not a free market.
If the the IP is "the White House" there may be dozens of clients running out that single NAT IP. So you'd need a bit more correlation before you hit all of them with a warrant, I'd think. Some tracking cookie or some ID to show it's the same person behind the keyboard. As the transcript shows, the judge asked about payment (like a credit card # for correlation) but Twitter is free.

Not saying it's a viable technique but I get the idea that judges hate warrants that vague.
As expected, one of the people included as a prolific misinformer is Vinay Prasad, a doctor, MPH, professor of epidemiology at UCSF, and a highly cited and respected medical professional.

The bizarre take of this appeal-to-authority (ironically published by two authors with BS degrees and one MPH) is that researchers with contrarian opinions should be labeled as misinformers regardless of reasoning. Dr. Prasad's reasoning for all of this information is public record. People willfully choose not to engage with it.

Similarly, Jayanta Bhattacharya appears quoted as a misinformer. Dr. Bhattacharya is one of the most cited professors in his fields of our lifetime, a professor of medicine, economics, and health policy who has made significant contributions to each domain, and even outside of his specialties.

The people claiming that their analysis is misinformation have no trouble using their work prior to the pandemic. Lumping them in with people who were prescriptively shilling for ivermectin at the beginning of the pandemic is fundamentally dishonest. But there's been very little about the discourse around public health that's been good faith. At this point we know that includes information that the authors use to determine accuracy in this paper, like the efficacy of cloth masking.

Everyone is happy when the government throws free money at them. That's why even the most climate denying and self proclaimed "fiscally conservative" politicians will vote for subsidizing new solar jobs in their free state.

What people get up and arms about are policies that destroy jobs or make things more expensive. This why all climate-change related legislation is about throwing free money at the problem rather than pricing in the externality in bad environmental practices. Even in the farthest left of politicians only make vague suggestions of a carbon tax because they know that they'd immediately get kicked out of office if they allowed gasoline prices to rise to what they are in Europe, let taxing all sources of greenhouse gases.
A better idea yet is to spend the time with Ralph Waldo Emerson.
So far the responses have been lukewarm to negative. I'm all for a framework as big as Spring, blazing the trail to use Virtual Threads! I haven't used Spring Boot in a few years, and Webflux was a paradigm shift that didn't interest me. It'd be nice to see what this does for the framework.

(Disclaimer: I am not an AI expert.) To me, LLMs are a special form "self-supervised learning"[1], which is a special form of unsupervised learning. While supervised learning aims to use input data to predict labels, self-supervised learning uses the context around the input data to predict future data. The key part here is context. This excellent article [2] by Yann Lecun et al. explains how self-supervised learning uses temporal and spatial context to extract patterns, which can then be used to predict future data or generate new data. In fact, prediction and generation go hand-in hand. So, you could definitely apply the techniques of LLMs to arbitrary streams of data with meaningful temporal or spatial patterns.

> Third, book recommendation systems based on your reading history can be helpful, but only so much.

Book recommendation systems should be a hybrid system with content-based filtering and collaborative filtering systems.

Reading history (lagging indicator) + browsing history (leading indicator) would form the basis of a content-based filtering.

The collaborative filtering part would ensure the system compares users with same reading patterns.

A system like this should address all author's concerns.
Typically lotteries roll over the jackpot if nobody wins. So if there's a streak of no winners, the total jackpot amount can be more than the cost of buying every possible ticket.

Of course, if you did this you might get unlucky and find that there's another winner in that draw, in which case you'd have to split the winnings and probably wouldn't make your money back.

That's because the actual problem is intractable. Urban metropolises shouldn't be built where profitable farming can make better use of the water.

> Equity rules make this point an incontrovertible fact

Seems like flawed reasoning to me. If a group as a whole is underrepresented in a highly competitive environment like academia, then presumably they have a harder time getting in or staying in.

Despite equity measures, whites in the us are not underrepresented. It follows that it is not harder for whites, but still more difficult specifically for black and Latino people to make it in academia, no?
It is, yes. It's more permissive than the AGPL because it allows you to use SpacetimeDB as a library without licensing your own code under the AGPL. We were trying to solve the problem that there is no Lesser AGPL, and linking is the reason by Google doesn't allow AGPL in their codebase at all:

I agree that the best thing is to not give them smartphones but sometimes parents do not agree between them. Sometimes close friends and family will say you are too hard on your kids.

Some parents just don't realise how bad this is or they don't care.

Sometimes it's the grandparents who give them the smartphone and what you wanted to do is nullified and you are seen as bad because you deny to give them something "so good".

No, all in all, a global, robust solution need to be imposed by the governments. Like for tobacco, like for alcohol or drugs.

Saying "this isn't true" and then listing a bunch of countries which either explicitly sided with China, were aligned with USSR "but not controlled by them" or that literally have Wikipedia articles called "$Country-Soviet split" is a bit silly. I never said that they were vassal states. I said they instantly aligned with the Soviet Union or had to be irrelevant to both sides. Albania, China and Yugoslavia are "counter-examples" only in that they were initially aligned with the Soviet Union but then deviated from it.

The Sino-Soviet split pretty much occurred because the Soviet Union itself deviated from Stalinism and Mao didn't like that. China only got away with that because like the USSR it was extremely large and powerful. It literally split off to become a third superpower and its ideology was functionally indistinguishable from the Soviet Union with regard to its ability to achieve the supposed outcome of communism and its insistence on giving all power to the state in the meantime.

Albania initially sided with Mao in order to split from the Soviet Union because much like Mao, Hoxha disagreed with post-Stalinist reviosionism in the USSR. Its split with China in turn was the result of China's embrace of liberal market reforms under Deng, i.e. another round of revisionism.

Yugoslavia only survived its break with the Soviet Union because it (like China post-Mao) opened itself up to the US. However Yugoslavia's "communist" origins are directly tied to the Soviet Union, it's still downstream from Marxism-Leninism.

The Khmer Rouge were also downstream of Marxism-Leninism and directly funded by China. Vietnam is probably the most ridiculous example you could have thought of given that the entire Vietnam War was a thing (and Ho Chi Minh Thought is also of course downstream from Marxism-Leninism). Likewise North Korea with the Korea War and it nowadays pretty much only existing at the behest of China (its only serious ally).

I'm not sure what you were going for but if you wanted to disprove "if you tried to 'do a communism' you had to align with the Soviet Union or be bombed by the United States" the only thing you've accomplished is adding the nuance that you had to either align with the Soviet Union or, post Sino-Soviet split, China. The point remains that unless you were somehow compatible with Marxist-Leninism in one of its many forms, you were on your own against the United States and its economic geopolitical interests.
This is not a technological matter, it's product knowledge of a website the judge has no reason to use.

I've recently read Dr. Peter Attia's book, "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity" and he talks about the failures of our modern medical system when it comes to preventing (or at least delaying) disease instead of treating disease once it is present.

Cancer is one of what he refers to as the "Four Horsemen" (the chronic diseases of aging - cancer, heart disease, metabolic dysfunction and metabolic syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases).

His book focuses on a number of changes we can make to reduce our risk of these chronic diseases of aging, one of which is exercise and physical fitness.

I would highly recommend the book to anyone interested in living not only a longer life, but a more enjoyable life in old age.
I know several people building startups around green energy labor. The impression I get is that the labor demand isn't a policy thing, that solar installers in particular are desperate for more labor and turning down projects that they can't staff.

So I think this is a good thing! It takes labor to build infrastructure, it's not make-work. And a strong demand for skilled labor creates a lot of positive externalities.
Shorter, smaller bodies have lower death rates and fewer chronic diseases
