Atomic zombie will sell you plans for one. He really needs to update his plans, some cool bike plans, but all look 20 years old and obviously are missing advancements from since then.
I’ve dabbled on and off with a much more searchable Zillow with all sorts of crazy filters. I’ve wanted to look across the whole country that less than an hour from an airport, within 10 minutes from a grocery store, and with fiber internet. I’d like to see Zillow or Redfin filter on that
Many years ago I tasted a ripe cherimoya from a farmer's market in Cambria, CA. It ruined me and sent me on a neverending and expensive quest to find another ripe cherimoya in a grocery store. The fruit was amazing, save for the giant seeds. Alas I have never found another one as good as that. Most of the time you spend $7+ only to find you have yet another bad specimen.
You have a metric for human brains worth of computing power which hasn't already been exceeded? I can't do infinite precision arithmetic or the RSA algorithm in my head, or index a billion strings into lexical sort order.

But I am human, I am conscious and no visible VLSI work or algorithmic model will lead to AGI or a human equivalent computing power by 2029. Let alone for $1000.

That's a fair critique. While the app last year was mostly ready to go (aside from a few features I later decided to add), most of the issues I've had to deal with since have been related to other things (sales form, website, etc.). The license keys I gave you should work on this latest version.

yea it probably exists. Much easier to check, though.
> And on that measure, shares now look more expensive—and thus lower-yielding—when compared with bonds than they have in decades.

If one is optimistic about the private sector driving wealth creation (rather than the government), then one's view is likely that shares will still be higher-yielding on a risk-adjusted basis. Of course, other factors like time horizon and one's personal risk appetite also matter.

If, however, one is not bullish on the long-term wealth creation of American companies (and by extensions the stock market), then the question becomes where would you rather put your money? Personally, I have a hard time seeing better alternatives for the average individual.
> so 50 million worms colliding with 50 million anti-worms

Oh god no! If the average worm massed 10g, that's 10^9 grams of worm/anti-worm mix. Those 1000 metric tons of helminthic hitchikers would undergo total-annihilation to generate 9*10^22 Joules of energy, or 21.53 teratons of TNT.

Not only is that bigger than any nuclear bomb, it is likely way more than the yield of all nuclear bombs ever made rolled into one. This means it would be a Very Bad Day for both humans and worms on one or more continents. :P

(P.S.: Note that yield is only 1.7%-6% of estimates for the Chicxulub asteroid impact, so it is likely some worms will survive and maybe even some humans too if we don't botch handling the apocalypse.)

You can do 100GbE for about $150 a port in switch cost (new); you sometimes see ConnectX-5 cards on eBay for about $100-150 a port (used). I’ve got a fairly good amount of 100GbE in my homelab. Pretty affordable in 2023.

200GbE and 400GbE is still totally unaffordable for anything remotely personal, IMO.
No, can you see? It would be far better for the copyright system to exist wholly designed for profit and us fighting to destroy it rather than one part of the system being designed to benefit a children’s hospital and us still fighting to destroy the whole system!

Nazis was just an example. There are also various other stupid arseholes who I would prefer the instance I use not inflict upon me, of course.

Though the instance I use isn’t _particularly_ far left; not much revolutionary seizing of the means of production going on. (Semi-joking here; I assume you have some absurd definition of ‘far left’ which no Marxist would recognise.)

I work with internal systems for a living. As an end user, you’re not the primary customer - finance is. Concur is by no stretch amazing, but it works fairly well on the back end where your expenses come in, route for approval, get paid, get accounted for, etc.

I’m not trying to be dismissive. I absolutely try for the best internal user experience across the board, and it’s led me to try a lot of the shinier startup T&E systems. But Concur works well for finance and accounting, and frankly, it’s also cheap - something you also have to factor in G&A tooling. Those two factors together have overcome my desire to rip it out at a couple of different employers.

And given the price sensitivity for a tool that does not generate revenue for its customers, it remains a tough space for new entrants to disrupt. It’s not enough to make it good, you also gotta make it cheap. When I’m done with the startup carousel, I might try my hand at this - but you should bet against me!
I’m conscious, maybe you’re not? Not that I really believe that. I think you probably see colors and hear sounds, even in your dreams! But engineering types tend to be persuaded by a particular view of the world, failing to understand that it is a view and not nature itself.
Because they would involve holding the entire managerial chain to that standard too. Plus, it’s slower, and we can’t miss those product metrics, right?!?

It can be done. Places like NASA do it. For JavaScript too even.

> Why would you want to grow as fast as possible?

Short answer: to juice the numbers ahead of an IPO.

Long answer: In the short term companies need quick and dirty ways to get market share. Showing growth tells investors that they've established product market fit and opens the door to acquiring more funding to scale up.

Once public, the stock market will be forgiving of fast growing but unprofitable companies offering the distant promise of massive profits.

This is a good argument for protecting titles like "engineer". Programmers love calling themselves engineers, but they'd better be careful in places where there are consequences attached to the term.

The system is useless without protections in place to prevent it from becoming a racket, but I'm not opposed to such a system.
> Why hasn't an alternative emerged?

To my understanding, mostly because the MLS services are owned by realtor associations, and the current model of how they work is highly lucrative to the industry, so they're incentivized to push back on any sort of competition.

This is partly through regulatory capture: real estate organizations lobbied state governments to set licensing requirements for who can actually be involved in the real estate market, and only licensed realtors are allowed to access the MLS.

There are two major class-action lawsuits currently underway that challenge this: https://www.businessinsider.com/real-estate-agents-lawsuits-...

I'll have a try at why some may feel that way about D&D. Gary Gygax, one of the originators of D&D, was a historical miniatures wargamer. He was also really into fantasy fiction, so he shifted from writing historical to fantasy wargaming rules and also tacked on a storytelling element. The two modes were pretty distinct in his version, and it was others who developed the greater integration you see today. Still, D&D shows its miniatures heritage in being more combat oriented than most later TTRPGs.
Interesting. Where does it save column size changes, since you can't add that to the absurdly simple CSV “format” (specification)? In metadata? Does it lose this settings if you change the file name behind its back? Or it doesn't try to save such things at all?
In general maybe, but in the specific context above, I think calling that loop declarative is accurate, and laughing at that classification is a poor response rooted in a deep misunderstanding.

Unfortunately my experience is a bit more like a certain, crass, Boondocks clip than that comic.
Yup, I've seen this myself. My introductory plan at 69.99/mo (or 79 I can't recall) was good for the first 6 months or maybe a year, and then it steadily crept up in $10 increments every quarter or so for the next 4 years I had their service.

To be fair, the plan also went from 200 megs to 1 gig over that timeframe in similar incremental increases, so that was kinda nice.
Ah, I see. I misread your previous post.
Software "engineers" refuse to believe somethings is their fault, and push responsibility to everyone else but the "engineer".

My professors had no qualms about failing people because if you are not good enough to pass an exam, you are not good enough to be trusted with peoples lives.
In my opinion, absolute value is not important here, what matters is the fraction. I consider 0.02% to be large by itself for the given context.

which is a bit expensive for what it is and has terrible battery life but it takes great stereograms assuming you get the stereography right. (One thing I learned is that you can't take "macro" pictures of flowers outside because the background images are just too far apart... I've got to set up a little studio indoors so I can get some of the pictures that are in my head) I've got some Python scripts that I use to process the image but I need to add an exposure slider and crop controls and some little things like that to make my process reproducible.

I am thinking about picking up a

https://petapixel.com/2017/01/12/look-lytro-illum-camera-fut...

from Ebay, the data format has been reverse engineered, it looks like it ought to be possible to produce stereograms and point clouds with it with the right software.

I've got a flat photography project that I need to finish up before I do my next stereography project. I've had this idea about making collages with irregular sized cards that show multiple views of the same thing, I have made some based on anime art but I am working on one that is based on flat photos. I made an attempt at it with stereograms that didn't really work, I mostly understand why, and that's on the agenda next.

Would adding more studies even do anything more than one proper study? More data is always better, to be sure, and it would be great to run multiple designs. But one "gold standard" study should suffice, and demanding more just feels like moving the goalposts.

Genius Scan Enterprise is a non-subscription "pay-up-front" scanning app that I've used (on Android) for at least 3 years with complete satisfaction. Current price 25USD but I recall paying noticeably less (I share the app with other users in my family to defray the cost). I previously owned a Fujitsu fi-5110EOX sheet-feed scanner that I thought was the pinnacle of scanning goodness, but when it died after 15 years, Genius Scan proved a more than sufficient replacement for me[1], such that I returned the new Fujitsu sheet-feed scanner I'd bought to replace it for a refund.

I have no affiliation with any of the products I've mentioned above, just a user.

Social housing does work but can be hard to do well.

Places in London that built large scale apartment complexes for social housing saw them turned into slums with rampant drug use, violence and criminal activity.

And it can be harder to get smaller-medium density housing to work because you're constantly fighting against local governments and NIMBY types.
Shameful? Just because you dislike it doesn’t mean everyone has to.
Perhaps. But maybe I (and others) are just not researching enough.
I think I would completely agree for you if it were a definition and not a type annotation!

That is, "x: 5" instead of "x = 5" (or "x ← 5", &c) looks fine to my eyes. And of course, that's how values for the members of a struct are in fact defined in many languages (such as Rust).

I suppose the underlying point is that has-type is a relation, not a definition. Asymmetrical space around a binary relation violates (my) experience, but it's also a bit confusing to use the same syntax for definition and type annotation.
I wish people would reject this brand, as with the-company-formerly-known-as-facebook. Pity.

> Things won't get better until cities invest in infrastructure like EU cities have, firm bike lanes and bike infrastructure that is not shared with cars.

This is of course the gold standard on larger and faster streets, but remember that even the Netherlands doesn't put separate bike infrastructure on every street. On the smaller neighborhood streets, they... slow down traffic. And it seems to work pretty well.

You could have two models answer 100 questions the same way, and differ on the 101st. They’re unpredictable by nature - if we could accurately predict them we’d just use the predictions instead.
If you want background, you can go to the blog in his bio and read the first post, which mentioned he worked at Twitter starting in 2011. He mentioned elsewhere that his comparison is early Twitter, as opposed to current Twitter.

> a 10% change in CO2 greenhouse effect is roughly the same amount of energy as the observed change in solar cycle output.

I think your calculation might be mistaken, that number doesn’t make a lot of sense and is not supported by measurements. See Figs 13 & 16 in the following paper for magnitudes of temperature variation attributed to solar cycle variation.

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/grantham-i...

The link you provided summarized the solar cycle’s contribution to warming as “very small”. This paper also notes that the solar cycle’s affect in the last 50 years has been cooling on average, and that recent warming trends are “almost entirely” due to changes in CO2.

For readers who run across this, this is referred to as the Broken window theory:

And despite the commenter stating it as fact, both here and elsewhere, the idea is very much controversial, and far from proven.

When someone tries to make a sophisticated argument that up is down and white is black, dismissive and shallow is the right response.
