I don't think that's true at all, unless you're using a very personal definition of "common".

In the real world, teams use compiler cache systems like ccache and distributed compilers like distcc to share the load through cheap clusters of COTS hardware or even vCPUs. But even that isn't "common".

Once you add CICD pipelines, you recognize that your claim doesn't hold water.

I think what a lot of people are missing about school alternatives is that, while public school has a lot of failings (I had a pretty miserable religious and public school experience myself), it's pretty clear that none of the proposed alternatives work at scale. Charter schools aren't equipped for 1/4 of their kids to be totally impoverished. Micro schools aren't equipped for kids with wheelchairs, or the 20% of kids who learn reading in a totally weird way, etc.

Selection benefits these organizations tremendously (i.e. you can say "there's no ramp into my house, I'm sorry your kid in a wheelchair can't attend), but that clearly doesn't scale and worse, it leaves out all kinds of kids. It also deprives the attending kids of diversity.

It probably also dooms kids whose parents think benefit from this system to a substandard education. There's a quote in TFA from the proprietor of a micro school that's something like "[a child] wants to learn about the US and the constitution; who am I to tell her she has to learn about ancient Egypt?" Well don't ask me, ask Library for Kids [0] (TL;DR their phonetic alphabet prompted Greece to make their own, and the works written in Greek are the basis for western civilization).

The Netherlands established childrens' right to an education, which means that no matter what their parents think or believe, children will be educated in a way largely determined by professionals, but also subject to the democratic process. Why is this important? Because there are a lot of nuts parents out there who want their kids to learn pretty weird stuff, and in the aggregate that weirds society literally for generations, and at the individual can abuse kids in truly horrible ways (think about young girls born into cults).

I get that public school is lord of the flies and fails lots of kids, but this stuff isn't the answer. Education is massive and hard. We're not gonna fix it by subsidizing amateurs.

Shopping is definitely a dismal thing. And I can name two things that have ruined it. Well, actually, they're the same thing.

Online shopping has obviously made a huge dent, ("dent" is a charitable word) in brick-and-mortar shopping. I think that most stores have pivoted from placing their best foot forward for the discerning customer, to basically being last-chance, inefficient warehouses of crap that people won't purchase online. It's become common knowledge now that if you really want something, and you want good quality, then you stay home and you purchase it on the Web, and deal with the hassles of waiting, shipping, and returns at home.

I've actually got a theory that there are "ghost stores"; they are retail stores of well-known name and repute, often on blighted properties, that sell nothing but unwanted merchandise. It may look attractive on the shelf, but it's always the wrong size, an unfashionable style or color, or it's been discontinued and you'll never find parts for it. There's a Big 5 nearby that perfectly fits this description, and every time I go shopping there I have an absurd creepy feeling, like any purchase is a mistake.

Furthermore, brick-and-mortar stores have become hangouts for independent online vendors who are practicing arbitrage. This really got noticed during the pandemic. Those people shopping in those stores are not really customers. They are sellers who are building their inventory. Other times, they are shoppers who are there on behalf of an online customer who is ordering delivery. It's rather ridiculous if you imagine that most of the people occupying a given store at any given time are not the end-customers anymore, but that's just a fact of life now.

Given both of the above related factors, most stores don't really need to offer a pleasant or enjoyable customer shopping experience anymore, they just need to show people merchandise that they can grab off the shelves and hopefully make a transaction before running out the door.

It’s not God complex. Society doesn’t come into existence by itself in hunter-gathering time. It starts off with someone self-identifying as the chief/shaman and who is socially approved.

Starting a small settlement / community is not a small feat. It requires lots of organizing top-level-down. And then fast forwards million of years later we have religions and government and we start paying taxes without asking lots of questions while also taking everything for granted.

Religions and governments were considered a progressive thing 2000 years ago. But then gradually in the past 100 years we started to see disentanglement between these two. And now we are here.

And now we are starting enter the aeon of AI. Now it is good time to fix many real-world problems.

>My personal experience with the NYC housing market is exactly zero and even I know it's heavily regulated. Its rent control is known globally.

It may be well known globally, but rent controlled apartments make up ~1% of the housing stock. In order to have a rent controlled apartment, the building needs to have been built before 1947 and it must have been continuously occupied by the same family since at least 1971.

Rent stabilized apartments (IIRC, there are ~800,000 of them including mine) are only in buildings built before 1974 with more than six rental units. What's more, rent increases are set each year and can range anywhere from <1 to >5%. If the owner spends a certain amount on renovations to a vacant apartment, the rent stabilization law no longer applies and the unit can be rented at market rates.

Yes, there is significant regulation of rental units for ~30% of the rental stock, but beyond that it's whatever the market will bear.

Edit: Removed incorrect information about rent caps on rent stabilized apartments.
This is one of the sources I am using for my comments: https://www.amazon.com/Postwar-History-Europe-Since-1945/dp/...

Yugoslavia (and all the violence that happened during and post it's collapse) is not a good example of what happens in a heterogeneous countries once the dictator was out.

Belgium and the two main areas/languages of it only came to harmony after the prosperity, and it mostly functioned like two countries within a state with almost all the powers to the two separate regions.

Ethnic minorities did exist in Europe before the wars, but in the post war period most countries kicked their ethnic minorities out.

Catholic and Protestants had to endure centuries of violence (almost as long as the history of the USA itself) together before learning to live together. Sure, after a long long period of assimilation everything can become assimilated together like that.

> it's exactly after WW2 that immigration from the colonies to France

The immigration to France was almost entirely from Algeria, not multiple colonies. And that too didn't go well and the immigrants faced tons and tons of discrimination.

By homogeneous I mean culturally homogenous here.

You seem to use the word racist very casually, as if anyone whose opinions sound untrue to you is driven by racism.

You also state something as simply untrue yet cite nothing to back such strong claims.

There’s something I like to call AI “almost-rightness”, although I’m sure there’s a better term for it out there. It’s a bit like linguistic uncanny valley.

It’s when a model spits out a seemingly reasonable text, but it’s slightly off in the context. Nothing about it is incorrect, exactly, but it can be odd if you think about it for a second.

So the title poses the question of how a product can be so robust with such a small team maintaning it. Yet one of the answers given in the article body is “having a small team”.

If you want to point out that such a team size is an asset rather than weakness, then you should work out the argument fully. This way it ends up feeling almost tautological. Yeah, obviously, if you want a small team to work on a big product, one of the ingredients of that approach is a small team…

Not saying this article is necessarily AI-generated, but there’s something almost-right about it.
Many people don't accept that human CO2 emissions are warming the planet because they disagree with the policy prescriptions that climate activists draw from that. So separate them and say that accepting the role of CO2 emissions does not necessarily entail a particular policy response.

I think human CO2 emissions are causing warming but that most climate-related regulations, such as banning gas stoves in newly constructed homes, future bans on gasoline powered cars, heavily subsidizing electric vehicles, or restricting exploration for fossil fuels, are not worth it. Economist Bjorn Lomborg and columnist Holman Jenkins of the Wall Street Journal espouse this view, as does economist John Cochrane at https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2020/12/unintended-conseq....
The book I have most enjoyed reading is A Short Walk In the Hindu Kush - Eric Newby (1958). It is an autobiographical account of how he went from being a fashion salesman to climbing (without previous experience) a mountain in what is present day Afghanistan. Made me cry laughing.

> I am sure that the associate director of science at NASA never visited a chemical plant. /s

You haven't read the text attentively. "Visiting a chemical plant" is different from "taking a stroll nearby" it, that is, seeing the effects of it in the environment.

> We pollute the environment by just living. After you eat a meal and digest it, you take a crap. After you drink some water you take a piss. That is pollution, but it is low level.

This is radically disconnected to what's being done to the environment now, which is not just a matter of overpopulation. Currently, as a popoluation, we are:

- wasting massive amount of resources (to observe two simple examples, just go to a restaurant, or notice huge cars in tiny towns)

- producing unmanageable amounts of waste in general (especially as consequence of the previous point)

- most importantly, producing unmanageable types of pollutants (read HN more attentively, and you'll find recent talks of microplastics)

Cleaning up after polluting is at best considerably more expensive, at worst, impossible to perform, than not polluting in the first place.

And keep in mind that I'm talking about regulating (that is, at least reducing) pollution, not abolishing it (that is, going Amish).

Oh I've read and participated in so many variations of this topic. Nothing you said is new to me nor do I necessarily disagree with.

It was a single statement to point out that similarities exist to someone who believed there were none.

Unfortunately your giddiness to point out this false equivalence is misplaced as I was careful to make no such assertion.

Ah and there is indeed not a universal agreed upon definition of intelligence, but the parent looks to be operating on a set of definitions that preclude them all (hint: general reasoning ability).

The nuance you miss however is we do in fact have a pretty good idea what human intelligence looks like, and parent is excluding NNs of even that (general reasoning and problem solving, again).

> Brains are embodied organs in an overall organism which lives in a dynamic changing world where ecology, cybernetics, control theory, complexity and dynamical systems theory, semantics and semiotics all will play a part in understanding it. Not just neural networks.

All true, but guess what. There may be different roads to intelligence. Random walk through evolution and physical processes is one such pathway. Possibly an alternative pathway in a digital medium may reduce all these physical analogues to "mere" NN expression and matmuls.

Like there's so much confusion there it's hard to unpack.
There is another under-addressed aspect, which is that mainstream left and right parties are lobbied (i.e. bribed) by the same groups. Coupled with a media that is also aligned with it all, and it is a perfect recipe for outsiders like the AfD to come along with all the points you state above.
That's what economics is for. If you can't make a living doing something, then no, it isn't valuable to society.

Does it also does tracking like Dreem?
No, actually it just needed to be well-formed. UA headers follow a certain format. Some folks like to try to "blend in" and use known headers seen in the wild but personally I like to make up new UA headers that reveal nothing, not even fake details. On the whole, I very rarely send a UA header. The number of sites that demand one is very small for me. I had just assumed Cloudflare was doing TLS fingerprinting or something more involved than just checking for presence of a UA header. But it worked. The StackExchange family of sites is one example where a UA header is needed. They will block otherwise. Not using Cloudflare to do the blocking though.
At this point I would pay those people to stop making videos and start writing again. Sitting through a 15 minute video to explain something that can be read in 2 minutes is a waste of everyone's time.

Digital wrist watches can go 10+ years on a single battery, and they typically have transistors switching at 32kHz (as opposed to price tags, which could be completely static until you press a button).
Things that work for me:

1. Conscious eating (don’t eat while watching TV, working, or studying. Be present when you’re eating and notice that you’re eating.)

2. Calorie counting in conjunction with meal planning. Choose foods you enjoy, but be mindful of portion control, and balance your calories (if you have a high calorie meal - make sure your other ones are low calories to balance it out).

3. Avoiding drinking calories (so no milk in coffee etc, or sugary drinks) - basically drink water, or herbal/fruit teas, or black coffee.

4. Avoid sauces/mayo and other condiments - these just add calories. Enjoy the flavours of your food without the excess calories. (Missing flavour? Add a pinch of an actual herb or spice powder as these are less calories and usually pack a punch flavour-wise.)

5. Don’t eat for 4 hours before bedtime.

6. Fill up on foods that are low calorie. Sometimes I just want quantity. When in such moods, I pick foods that are low calorie such as a salad with mostly lettuce.

7. Avoid beige coloured foods (pasta, rice, potato, bread etc).

Also important:

Try not to take in too much sodium, as this can cause water retention.

Finally, pick an exercise you actually genuinely enjoy doing, and do it regularly.

I mean to not have 32 bit support by default makes sense. It wastes disk space for nothing. On ArchLinux for example to have 32 bit support you have to enable the multilib repo, that makes sense because in most installations you don't need it.

Plus 32 bit software can still run if it's stacically linked or run inside a container. The only thing that doens't ship is the dynamic libraries for 32 bit executables to run.
