I am a total newbie in economics.
Stupid question: But what would hinder to put a very high tax for any habitable property if not the primary owner living in it as their primary home?

Of course people can have secondary homes, maybe to a lower tax and rented appartment would benefit from a reduction if rental price moderate.

Wouldn’t this just solve any speculation and make investments from « unequal« parties uninteresting?
It is where I live. All the farms in my county have been replaced by almost barrack's style townhomes. Its dystopian.
I know Chicago has transit. I was responding to the assertion that "parking being unaffordable is good because less people will park"..

Decreases in availability/access and/or increases in cost of private vehicle use, without offsetting improvements in transit are not a good thing.
Here in New Zealand the tax payer contracted a lines company to do it. ISPs compete on service but we don’t get 25 - maybe 4 or 8Gbps.
I don't know anything about PUnjabi-Mexican, but once I made tacos whereby after adding cumin, I somehow didn't stop and reached for the coriander, turmeric, fenugreek and Chinese five-spice.

BTW Chinese five-spice makes a good "tail end" of spices for curry. My secret curry weapon.
Security researchers generally have more 0 days.
You might be able to negotiate a shorter term with increased rates.
Cantor's argument shows that there exists no surjective map from the natural numbers to the reals and that proof is valid constructively. So the proof still works, it just has a different interpretation.
Can't stress enough how inspired I am by Figma's mission and cultural values (your Engineering Values post alone should be the standard in the field, tbh). I applied for both the Early Career and FigJam software engineer positions-- I'd love to talk more.
You could equally say ending the war means handing NK over to SK because that's what South Korea's constitution says.

Less flippantly, "ending the war" means reaching a mutual agreement that preserves the two Korea's current territories: nobody sane is using the term to mean anything else.

(BTW, South Korea did push for officially ending the war multiple times, IIRC. It's just that North Korea remains uninterested. Same for the US - probably because they don't see the deal happening realistically.)
Put a gun to someone's head, and they suddenly become less capable. A small amount of stress is good for productivity, but excessive stress destroys cognitive abilities.
It’s not an either-or thing. If I understand our new Chrysler van correctly, they charge a monthly fee (which doesn’t even seem particularly reasonable) for (1) and (2) and they’re collecting a bunch of data to sell as well. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find an ad on the screen for some new subscription climate control feature or something.
In the method described, it could also be:

'mispar/{gadol|katan|siduri|bone'eh|kidmi|p'rati|ha-merubah ha-klali|meshulash|ha-akhor|mispari|ne'elam|katan mispari|musafi}' as well as 'otiyot/be-milui', and 'kolel'

You can then also have #includes or pre-processor directives such as:

#include Atbash (opposites), Albam and Achbi (two 11 letter alphabets), Akhas beta (three groups [778]), Ayak bakar (letter*10), Ofanim (last letter replace), Avgad (letter++)

And if you really want to, you can do all the other parts of 'math' like polynomials, curve fits, blah, blah, just with letters.
Have they tried negotiating a rate hike and a term length shortening to get the same return on investment?
Which is what the ButtonMapping config is for :)

That said, I do think it would be nice to have written down that 8/9 are commonly used as backwards/forwards. They are just not explicitly backward/forward buttons though.
A lot of this is talking about attempts during 2022 which was known about a year ago in the security community when it first came out. It's just more of the same as best I can tell, just because they were caught, doesn't mean they stopped trying.
The video makes it much more clear.
I still need to measure and optimise power consumption correctly, but it drew about 70W from the socket during the tests, according to my simple power meter. CPU never ran at boost frequency, and a lot of other stuff is in a low power state.

I followed the guide here https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/index/. I ended up doing Frugal for the provider, nzbgeek for the indexer, and nzbget for the client. Mapping to torrent terms the indexer is the torrent search site, the client is the client, and the provider is (effectively, in this mapping) who you pay to leech from. Depending how deep you get into it it may be worthwhile to look at a second provider on a different backbone (for greater availability) and/or another indexer but I'd start with just that and see how it works for you then add if needed.

Config wise signing up a provider is like buying anything else online. Setting up the client isn't much more difficult than setting up a torrent client (select default folders, set limits, etc) beyond you need to manually enter the info to connect to the providers.
> This is also how the web works, or many other things where you have a standards venue and multiple implementations that contribute to and validate the standard. There may be pros and cons, but I think overall it's proven to be a healthy way of running an ecosystem.

The web only really has 3 engines (gecko/webkit/blink), and they still vary enough that it causes problems.

> Also, the Wayland model doesn't preclude compositors sharing as much of their code as they want. "Implement it ones and several projects benefit" also happens in the Wayland world, for example there are multiple compositors built on libraries like wlroots.

Yeah, I used to have great hopes for wlroots uniting basically everything except KDE and GNOME and mostly solving the fragmentation. Then I found some cool new compositor that I wanted to try, and it ran alright so I went to configure it to my keyboard layout (I could kind of get by on QWERTY to test that it ran but I'm not gonna live like that), and hey wlroots implements keyboard configuration so it should be easy right? Yeah, so it turns out wlroots provides the ability to support kb layouts, but every compositor has to actually wire up that code and this one didn't. And that's the most recent time I gave up on wayland.

> Xorg wasn't the only X11 implementations either. Fragmentation in the X Windows space did reduce over time as the open source impl sprinted and ahead and won out over everyone else by miles, but it did exist for many years.

Agreed; I've actually run into other X servers that were worse and I'm glad Xorg won (which is unusual; usually I prefer diverse implementations, but it turns out I prefer one working implementation).

> Most people are only familiar with an X11 space that already had 25 years of maturing and consolidation on it.

X is 39 years old[1]. Wayland is 14 years old[0]. If it's going to take another 11 years for Wayland to catch up I'm going to just wait for Arcan or whatever replaces Wayland.

> I end up regularly going over the "Pro" tier of searches a month

I'm now halfway through my billing period (22 aug - 21 sep) and I'm on 488 searches. Would be tight on the pro plan (1000 searches), but I'm still on the early adopter pro plan (1500 searches).
I was forced to upgrade my 2015 iPhone because apps started "winking out", one at a time. No error message, they just wouldn't open anymore. It was surely the automatic free upgrades to the OS and the apps that broke them.

I was surprised, though, that it would "upgrade" my phone to apps that wouldn't work anymore and didn't bother to say it wouldn't work.

Bought a new phone, transferred my setup over, and they started working again.
I applaud you guys for not including any nauseating gibberish in this press release or seemingly anywhere else on your website. It's like a breath of fresh air comparing to every other AI-related resource I saw recently. Please, keep it up.

Copyright related stuff is annoying. I cant see why any one would care. If you publish something to the public domain I dont understand why you get rights to your content that you can self declare. Its completely ludicrous and only works at the corporate money level because they have liability and resources to sue. I wish people would use a little more common sense and understand the words ‘public domain’. Regardless of what people say, I can let you know that no one really cares about copyright and in terms of AI, its an unmovable mountain. Good luck wasting time on figuring out an issue that provides nothing to humanity
20 years ago symbolic reasoning was already called GOFAI and the hotness was Bayesian statistical reasoning. 40 years ago, maybe.

This article is trash. The title: "after speaking with Russian officials". The image caption: "Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, has denied Ukrainian requests to activate Starlink near Crimea."

In the article: "According to Isaacson, Musk himself ordered Starlink engineers to deactivate the system along the coast of Crimea, thwarting a Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian fleet (the drones "lost connectivity and washed ashore"). He then rejected a direct appeal from a top Ukrainian official to enable the system for future such attacks, per Isaacson."

Further, the article quotes Musk as saying: "Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes."

It makes no other mention of him doing this "after speaking with Russian officials", and literally says "Musk himself ordered [...]"?

Medieval peasants worked about 1080 hours a year or an average of 20 hours a week. I wont speculate on how happy they were, but they were probably able to spend more time at home with their family/friends and local spiritual community and probably got more sleep than most people do today.

We may have better hygiene and live longer on average compared to then, but most of our lives are spent away from most of the people we care about/take care of.
Uhh yeah so anyway... in the real world, the frontend is the most volatile part. You're not automating that away either so long as there exist requirements from non-coders.

As for the API side of things, CRUD only looks easy when lots of hard work has been put into it. I guess you're advocating for monolithic data, but that's not really CRUD. That's just lazy and bad.
There's a workaround that uses standard link reference markdown syntax to represent metadata[0]

It look fantastic compatibility-wise, I will be considering it.

Your observations as a recent graduate match my observations. RTO (specifically, hybrid, but that depends on the position) made a huge difference in learning and career development for younger employees at my company.

I do think it's quite hilarious that all of the older employees are claiming that their younger counterparts are doing just fine now that RTO is happening but just months ago were claiming that these newer hires were lazy or incompetent when WFH was at its zenith.
War's easy to sell here. Say "these are the bad guys" and we'll say "oh thank God, I was starting to worry it was us."
I mean, Elon is also blaming the CCDH for his loss in advertising. He’s not exactly an unbiased source here. Just because he says it, doesn’t make it true.
A few weeks ago our CEO decided that we should be at least one day per month in the office (my commute is 2h over all by car). They say it is not mandatory and will not be enforced. Also, everyone can select the day that fits them the best, so not everyone will be at the office at the same day. When asked about the reasons for this, since we did pretty well during covid when everyone moved to HO, they gave the following reasons:

- People have to identify with the company more. When asked about the details of that they complained that a lot of people just log in, work on their issues and log off. So basically doing what they are paid for. I answered that this is not a bad thing, which was not well received.

- People need to socialize more. According to them everyone needs to be more friendly with their peers. I think that I am friendly to my peers and direct reports, but I admit that not everyone can do that level of socializing online. OTOH I will not be able to socialize as well in person. Also, while I'm generally friendly I never join events for exactly that reason.

- Silos between different departments. According to them there is bad blood between some departments and they hope to resolve this if everyone get to know each other better. I can't really confirm this, as all my interactions with different departments always go well. However, since there is no mandated day I can't understand how this will tear down the silos.

- Onboarding of new colleagues is considered hard/not as successful as it should be. Again, in can't confirm this as three people joined my team in March and they are doing pretty damn solid.

- According to them, before covid when everyone was in the office things were better. I asked them how many employees there were at that time: 50. Currently we are ~160. IMHO it is kinda obvious that communication and peership is better with 50 than with 160 people and office presence will not improve this.

- According to them, meetings and workshops are better in person. I can't really agree on that as I feel that since moving to HO, meetings have been way better and a lot more productive.

Some other things to consider: from 7 people in my team 3 are located in India, so they will not be able to come to the office anyway.
Also we have two office locations in Germany, so we will not be able to everyone anyway. Also some people have 100% HO contracts and they will not come to the office since they live a few hundred km from each location -> kinda unfair IMHO.

I think all their reasons are frankly pretty bullshit and coming to the office will not improve any of those. As the situation will not improve by this I expect them to go up with the days in the office since "we need to do more to improve things!11".

I'm not so happy about this.
It’s gotten a lot speedier. I’ve been impressed
In either of these cases the car you exchanged your money for physically had the seat heaters in it already. You were buying (or renting) the password to be allowed to use your own belongings.

To me this isn't nuanced at all. It's my fucking car, get out of here with this rent-seeking DLC shit.

Online platforms don't have to host any content they don't want to. The difference is that in the west you can make your own platform whenever you want - in China you can't.

I'm really curious where the 0-day is in the code of the project honestly
I imagine it depends on the cat. I've moved cities and states with a few cats a few times and they were back to mostly normal within a couple days and only stopped eating out of stress for maybe a day.

Takes them weeks to completely relax, but I wouldn't say that puts them in a relatively "sensitive" category when compared to other animals.
I’m pretty sure this was basically an unofficial layoff.

The company seems happy with the result. Plus, everyone they hire in the future won’t have an issue with office work. Short to mid term it may be painful. Long term as in 5-10 years this will be a blip.
There's some interesting historical context in how IP was envisioned to have host-to-host (aka end-to-end) security, vs only the gateway model that won out.
It's somewhat different from the "overlay network" we know today in that hosts would just use their normal IP addresses but negotiate to use IPSec to communicate between them.

3.2.2 Usage of ESP

ESP works between hosts, between a host and a security gateway, or
between security gateways. [...]
When both hosts directly implement ESP and there
is no intervening security gateway, then they may use the Transport-
mode (where only the upper layer protocol data (e.g., TCP or UDP) is
encrypted and there is no encrypted IP header). This mode reduces
both the bandwidth consumed and the protocol processing costs for
users that don't need to keep the entire IP datagram confidential.
> Specifically, I think they are less concerned with (say) specific Excel code leaking than with the knock on effects of a cheap perfect substitute.

Is there any evidence that an LLM could actually generate a perfect substitute for excel solely through prompting if only the excel source was in the training data? I hypothesize that designing a prompt for an LLM that captures all of Excel's properties would be comparable in difficulty to reimplementing the functionality without an LLM.
Why limit genre at all? Looking at my library, albums from Neil Cowley and Nils Frahm show on classical app, but from Portico Quartet and Floex do not. Roger Eno shows, Brian Eno not. What kind of lottery is that.

Also, some attention to the main app would not hurt. Albums from different artists with the same name are randomly mixed together. Albums usually show year and label info, but there is no way to search for it.
LLM then Google? "The greening of Mars" is not by Stanley Robinson, but by James Lovelock and Michael Allaby. It doesn't appear to feature moving Mars, but terraforming it using 80's technology. I don't think "Green Mars" by Robinson has Mars being moved either.

There's nothing on Google for Benford and "Martian Transfer", though it's possible he wrote such a story with a different title.
Controversy ahead, I'm open to discussion.

This is obvious and egregious animal abuse. What is it that puts our wants above those pigs' right to a peaceful life without growing others' (another species'!) organs in their bodies. Presumably to be slaughtered once our organs have developed enough to be harvested? What gives us the right to even attempt that procedure on another living being?

OP has it right, it's basic pattern recognition in LLMs.
Custom OIDC providers are supported to mostly address your 3rd party auth concerns.

I'm interested in this aspect of llms too, are you simply just passing it some input (email, customer message) and asking chat gpt to decide if it's spam? Do you provide any prior examples of spam / not spam or just rely on the knowledge already embedded within the model?

Spam detection is a classic example for classification problems. I guess I'm trying to gauge whether there's an entire suite of traditional problems that llms solve well enough by simply asking a question of the base model. I've found a few areas in my own work where this is the case.
> there's very little viable, good land in Canada

Canada's economy is 70% services (meaning, to varying degrees detached from the land) and as of May 2023, one in five Canadian workers were still working from home[0]. Surely some of those people could stand to build a city in the tundra ;-)

Hailing from a country that is literally 1/100 the size of Canada yet is much more populous, I find arguments that Canada is out of land uncompelling. You are right, of course, that it could build up vertically a lot more than it has so far.

> technical capacities or ability to recruit smart hard working people

Of course, there are different senses of "recruitment". The best
recruits don't know they even have been..

The take-away here is that it's 99% social engineering and 1% a
script-kiddy payload drop. Their SE play is based on our innate
ability to be recruited, because we want to be. Because we spend our
school and college days being conditioned to want to be valued, to
feel needed, to look for validation and reward, to make beneficial
connections and sell ourselves. Self commodification/reification is
the beating heart of capitalism.

They're smart to use that against us, by reaching out to security
researchers, who (from personal experience) often feel isolated and/or
undervalued.

After all it's just "international collaboration" , right?

Without due diligence in checking out new contacts (especially if
they contact you to discuss things that they know interest you and
then stroke the ego of your specialism) recruitment is easy.

In the end you can't easily know whether that charismatic voice on the
phone is really from your government, from Google, from a fellow
researcher who wants to "share and collaborate"... and you probably
wouldn't know what would constitute a credible proof of identity.

Intelligence agencies could do well to spend a little money on
benevolently watching out for commercial, civic, academic or hobbyist
researchers who are valuable targets and sending a polite heads-up
when the packets start arriving from N Korea.
The most charitable reason would be “I don’t want to deal with corporate Bs”. I’m sure we’ve all worked in those types of places.

Doesn’t really apply when it’s the Exco board though, if they say jump then it’s the CTOs job to make it happen.
> People feel that they paid double – which was actually not true, but perception is reality

It was true. The heating wires in the seats were already installed and the consumer paid for them and owned them.

I remember in the olden days some compiler vendors added a fee to "unlock" floating point code support. That was never popular (I never did such with my compilers.)
I have 10Gbps via Sonic.net and n Unifi UDM SE. I don't have 10Gbps internally, though, but the speed test on the UDM SE got about 3.5Gbps. I get 900+Mbps internally and torrents can do about 80-90MB/s. It is glorious.

An interesting note about the torrenting: I was shocked that my Mac Mini (Intel) running 12.$latest absolutely could not keep up with more than 20MB/s. The network stack just broke and the machine would actually stop responding to pings.

I moved it to a Linux box and ran Transmission (same software) in a container and it is where the 80-90MB/s numbers came from. Doesn't phase the box it's running on.

Seriously disappointed in the Apple networking stack.
Most big tech companies flag millions—often tens of millions—of tips on child sexual abuse material to law enforcement each year to help keep kids safe. Apple, the outlier, last year flagged 234. (Before that: 160.) Here's why.
On difficult targets this is unlikely to be the case.
You’re getting downvoted because that wasn’t Biden, it was Congress. Biden is probably the most union-friendly president over the past 50 years.
