I sort of acknowledged that when I said it was a complex relationship. I'm sure there are feedback loops set up where experiencing poverty makes you more likely to stay poor, and so on. But to say poverty is simply a state of mind seems drastically and dangerously wrong to me.

Kind of funny that it's nearly 20 years later and I'm working on something else that I initially thought would be for journalists but is clearly useful for way more than that.
Yeah, in terms of actual rain, Seattle is mostly nothingburger. As you said, it is mostly just very light drizzle whenever it happens.

Living in ATL prior to this, rains in ATL were way more vicious and something more to care about than rains in Seattle. However, I was not prepared for the effect that multiple weeks of grey sky in a row on a regular basis would do to me. And I am saying that as someone who didn't even like the sun.
If your S.Q. (Schizotypy Quotient) was higher you'd see how it's related. One of my most obnoxious symptoms is that people are always telling me they don't see the connections in what I say. Sometimes they are right but sometimes they are terribly, terribly wrong.

Faced with a question like the above it would be reasonable to answer it with speculative fiction. This is a personal story that takes the reader into my experience of working in a team selected solely by I.Q. as opposed to exceptional accomplishment, we weren't professors or Hollywood actors (who often seem to get a perfect score on Raven) or had succeeded at difficult competitions. A world where a high I.Q. person might be a computer programmer, a failed academic, a housewife, a security guard but by no means a "genius".

In this story we see a high-IQ team is flummoxed by problems such as homelessness and racism, not in a catastrophic way, but in the sense that these problems linger on despite efforts to solve them. See Hunter S. Thompson's Fear And Lothing on the Campaign Trail '72 or Mailer's Armies of the Night for examples of what they called "The New Journalism" in this day based on this technique.

What you have just said is unfortunately so true, and as far as I can see there is no solution to it at all.
What do you do with the people who just want to watch the world burn? Should we as a society just put aside a huge chunk of tax money to fund clearing up after these people and accept the damage they cause, or segregate them away so they can only cause harm to each other like prisoners? Who then is given the responsibility to decide if they remain in society along with the rest of the population?

This is serious stuff which no government wants to touch with a 10 ft pole. When you go down this train of thought it gets pretty dystopian pretty fast. So far we have used the law to judge these people and their actions. But when mental health and poor upbringing is considered, the law is an extremely blunt tool for the job.
In the US, a lot of homeless people are likely in prison. There is also a second class of people who live on the streets during thr week(San Francisco), but then travel back to their home for the weekend

The Japanese do have homelessness problem, they are just not recorded. Knowing Japan, it is something bureaucratic. Unless you register yourself as living in the street, it is assumed you live on your last known adress. And you likely can't register yourself as living on the street as that is illegal.

I think there is more innovation to happen with LLM output, for example leveraging the attention weights to give information on what the key events in history should be paid attention to given a sequence of current events, etc. More predictive information beyond just generated text responses ("completions").
Good point. The curious thing to me is why number of fires wasn't that low, even though area burned was at an all time low.

It’s the problem with righteous stances. They don’t actually consider the consequences of their demands. As if it hadn’t been considered by many before and they are the first people to see the light.

I had understood that the Hurricane was a stop gap interceptor/air superiority fighter until more Spitfires were produced. I'm quite surprised that the Typhoon wasn't seen as redundant, unless it was intended early in the design phase for bomber interceptor, but the need for that waned.
Comments like this definitely give the impression you're serious about making sure institutionalization is reintroduced for the benefit of the few patients needing intense interventions and not just out of concern for your fucking property values.
you don't pay tax because the government controls the issuing of money.

You pay tax because if you don't some large men will come to your house and make you pay tax.

this isn't a knock on the system; without some sort of centralised governments things tend to fall apart and then recreate themselves again. Even in the most lawless places someone steps in to perform the role, and usually they're much worse than a legal system with checks and balances.
Personally I think that aspect is more locked in to the aging of the post-World power great expectations of “up and to the right.”

If people have never had decent health care, and their classmates from school haven’t either, then how are they meant to move into something as rarefied as self-assessed mental health? That is something that people with too much time and not enough existential threat get up to.
Honestly, from a moral standpoint, I really don’t see much difference between this and the way the News industry monetizes tragedy.

Often there are hot but very incorrect takes. Many times articles are heavily based on a few Tweets.

If other people want to use AI to do their own monetizing, I really don’t see a lot of moral issues that.
This is the response from a perfectionist who will never ship code on their own. It's a bad trait to have in a developer.
The US was never hyper-empathetic on criminals. Like, it is country with largest incarceration rates, super high convictions rates and a quite long sentences. Also, a country with incredibly expensive justice system.

Moreover, it is a country that keeps punishing criminals long after they left the jail with post conviction restrictions designed to make them fail.

The average "Index of Multiple Deprivation" [1] for Croydon is about 14,000, where every area (of some equal population size) is ranked from 1 to 32,884. Very roughly average for England.

Scotland isn't included, so I can't compare Strathclyde, but Blackpool's average is 5,900 — and includes 8 of the 10 most deprived places in the country.

Only one bit of London (part of Haringey) makes the top 1000. Only 106 bits of London (out of 4685) make the top 10%.

There's insurance from the point of "how we as an insurance company maximize profits" and insurance as "how we, as society, support a scheme to provide a net against various risks".

Societies have no reason to ensure insurance companies maximize their profits. In fact, briberry and lobbying aside, they have all the reason to regulate them for modest profits and wider spread safety net.

Thus health issues seen from DNA should be regulated to remain an unknown risk as far as insurance premiums go.

Except if somebody is more concerned about maximum insurance company profits, than for public health. In that case, can they suggest an Ayn Rand book for someone new to the author?
“Protect against X” is a bit of a Rorschach test… depending on the X, the healthy attitude can be found either on the offensive or defensive side.

For some reason, new Firefox windows can only be launched from the same environment from which the first window has been started. Even the same user who started FF cannot launch a new window from a new shell. That constantly interferes with my workflow.

Example: Say firefox has been started from the Destop already and now I want to start a new Firefox window from a root terminal:

su desktopuser firefox

It does not work. It gives me "Firefox is already running, but is not responding.".
A drug raid like the ones I mentioned happened in my own community, against an apartment where I knew several of the tenants. It was tragic. I came home one night, rounded a corner, and a cop with an assault rifle suggested to me that it might be better to stay put, to which I readily agreed.

Someone was stabbed on my doorstep on Holy Saturday one year, apparently about a marijuana sale.

After I moved out (thank GOD), I received a notice from the courthouse that said I may be called as a witness for something I didn't remember, which came to nothing.

There were a couple of shady Muslim dudes who stalked the Catholic Church I attended. One day Mr. Shady encountered me Downtown and summoned me to his home. Who knows why I agreed (well, I was homeless, hungry, and vulnerable.) At his home, I found a Quran on the shelf, a pistol under his sofa cushion when he brandished it for me, and the centerpiece was a computer he wanted me to work on and install software which was obviously pirated. He rewarded me with fried chicken. Ugh, I shiver to imagine getting caught up in that again.

Those strings are for the safety and even comfort of other people who use the shelter. Let’s put it this way, one reason often used by unhoused why they avoid shelters is because they don’t feel safe around the other people in the shelters, especially the addicts. So you have strings, because even addicts don’t want to be in a shelter with other addicts. Yes, it excludes, but not having the strings also excludes. You cut most of those strings, you lose even more people who are willing to use those shelters.

This is why tiny homes are touted as solutions (you get private space that isn’t shared), but even in that case they try to form stable communities by again, applying strings (having a neighbor burn down their house in the middle of the night affects other residents of the community).
very curious, is it an AC noise, white noise, or the kind of noise you can't sleep thru ?

Have to say that when writing fiction (and taking that seriously) my output slows down by a very significant factor. It's not the physical act of writing that takes time, but the time needed to think about the scene, characters, etc. I've said before that I never realised that writing (fiction) is a performance art. The performance might all be solely in your own head, but it's as real as any, and harder, because it has to make sense on the written page, in light of all that's been written before it and has yet to be written after.

eta: Writing fiction I consider myself doing really well if I achieve 500 words in an hour. Non-fiction? 1000 is quite easily done.
While I have retired the older cards, up to Kepler, I am still using a Maxwell GPU from 9 years ago and it is still well supported, like also my other Pascal, Volta and Turing GPUs, none of which is new.

There might have been NVIDIA GPUs which have been supported for less than 10 years, but I never happened to have one of those.

I have been using mostly Gentoo, and I never had to do anything besides "emerge nvidia-drivers", with the exception of the case that I have already mentioned with the laptop Optimus configuration, which required installing extra programs besides the official NVIDIA drivers.

In all these twenty years I have used only Linux on all desktops and laptops, both at home and at work, and I have also written various OpenGL and CUDA programs, so I have used the NVIDIA cards in many different circumstances, without encountering problems.

Some years ago, I was hoping that I would be able to get rid of the NVIDIA GPUs and use only AMD GPUs, which had a much better computational performance per dollar.

Unfortunately, AMD has split their GPUs into RDNA GPUs that are good only for gaming and CDNA GPUs that are much too expensive for small companies or individuals, so they no longer make any GPU model that could be an upgrade for my old AMD GPUs, so the only choice remains to buy overpriced NVIDIA GPUs, unless the next Intel generation of GPUs will become more competitive for computational tasks.

At least Intel makes a credible effort to compete with CUDA, with their oneAPI environment.

Infrequently Asked Questions in Comp.lang.c (1999)
I am British but live in Finland. The Finnish health service is a lot more complex. I'm not really able to make a distinction on better or worse because thankfully my exposure to both has been pretty minimal, although, I'll end with an anecodote that illustrates that it's not easy to compare.

The private sector in Finland is, compartively, huge. Like, imagine a normal shopping centre and two of the bigger units are private, nationwide doctors surgeries. This is pretty much any larger shopping centre in a reasonably sized town here. The reason is that employers are mandated to provide some kind of health insurance to employees. It is this health insurance that is then responsible for giving you a sick note or ensuring that workplace injuries are taken care of - not the public service. The legal minimum is pretty low, so you can't go to them like a GP in the UK and be guaranteed that they'll do anything if it's not covered by the contract with your employer. Now, employers are free to top this up, so 'yeah the pay's comparable but the healthcare is much better' is a common point of disussion in social groups. In my personal case, which is not that special, it's great! I can book an appointment for basically _now_ (Sunday afternoon) online and go get whatever I want looked at. If I was dependent on the public system, lol no - just like home pretty much.

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that it's very much a two tier system, and I think it was long ago realised that a way for working people to 'skip the queue' was becoming needed, as if these people became ill and stopped working then they wouldn't be paying for the public system (through taxes).

And IO on the SHM once it's attached may look "free", but it isn't. The M-mapping incurs a further overhead which simply doesn't exist for threads: A threads heap space is the same address space as those of it's siblings in the same process.
Definitions of homelessness and data collection methodologies vary to such a degree that it is difficult to make direct comparisons between countries. The term "homeless" includes a broad range of conditions, from sleeping on the streets to living in temporary accommodation. Japan's purported homelessness rate is transparently false to anyone who has spent time in the less salubrious parts of Tokyo.

What is clear is that homelessness in the US is very unequally distributed geographically and has become associated with increasingly severe social problems. The level of homelessness might not be exceptionally high, but there's a prima facie case that the severity of homelessness has. Being inadequately or insecurely housed is undoubtedly bad, but it's a heck of a lot better than living indefinitely in a tent underneath a freeway overpass.
Yes, and the average German gets much better health care than the average Finn (which still gets better health care than the average American).

Most of the basic health care is Germany is not publicly organized, but private. The health insurance system is heavily publicly regulated.

I live in Finland and all of my relatives in Germany, so I see the differences very often.

Before you can do anything, you need...

1. API Server

2. Scheduler

3. Kubernetes Controller Manager

4. etcd

5. Cloud Controller Manager

6. Nodes

7. Pods

8. Container Runtime Engine

9. kubelet

10. kube-proxy

And then before you can even expose it on HTTP you need an ingress, kube-dns, load balancer...

Oh, don't forget that you'll actually want Helm and all of its components...

Meanwhile, Nomad is a single binary, and it can even run scripts and other non-containerized workloads.

Okay, well, you clearly have an unusual interpretation. Enough people agree that leader/follower is more agreeable than master/slave, and even if you don't agree surely you can see where they are coming from. That's part of my disbelief. But you started by trying to argue some general point about using different terms causing some gulf of misunderstanding. Anyway, not much more to say here.

If you can afford it (or your employer pays for it), you get to use whatever. It helps cut some queue times, and gives you more choice and convenience.

Doesn't mean the free one can't still be "extremely good". I might pay for IntelliJ, even though a free IDE or even editor like Emacs is still extremely good.

And 40% of the population is still a huge number of people, who would otherwise had trouble affording private health care or get the shitty low tier and/or hella expensive private care afforded by the poorer in the US.

It's also not exactly like "50% of the population use private health care". It's more like "50% of the population ALSO use private health care", in addition to the provided free health care.

That's assuming it is actual people reading it, and not just click fraud. Amazon has been battling that for years, books filled with literal gibberish reach the top few hundred titles in a category and the only reasonable explanation is that some group(s) are gaming the system by buying/phishing Kindle Unlimited subscriptions then skimming through their own "books" to turn a profit.
