Speaking from Switzerland: most building until recently were clearly built for cold winters, not hot summer. They are often insulated quite well and well heated, but recent summers showed that they aren't suitable for hot weather: they lack AC, rely simply on open windows for ventilations and frequently have too many large windows that can't be darkened enough, hence letting a lot of heat in

I think people are underestimating the potential impact of it.

If it ends up being successful you could see governments e.g. EU using it as a showcase of the type of integration they want to see between platforms. So maybe Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky etc end up being forced to support it. And then a similar model proposed for messaging.
The whole “corporations are the real polluters” is absolute political nonsense that people lie to themselves about to justify their own lazy resistance to change. It’s not like Shell pumps oil out of the ground because they think it’s fun, they do it because people buy the oil to transport themselves and heat their home. It’s not like coca-cola wakes up every morning and thinks “wow I wish there was more plastic litter” they make beverages that people purchase and drink. It’s not like steel companies just really get their giggles from turning rocks into liquid by using a ton of energy, they are making washing machines and stoves and trains that people use to live their life.
Using a temp of zero usually returns garbage results from most models, so it would likely do so in case of GPT 4 as well. Any other great ideas?
Maybe ClickBench followed it! This paper was in 2018 and ClickBench was published last year.

Have you seen the kinds of posts those people, as a class, are leaving there?
Definitely agree, but this isn’t about saving money, it’s about being creative and having fun doing some woodworking
I don’t think that it’s not an improvement. It’s not an improvement in context of finding new genuine solutions, sure.

But that’s definitely not needed most of the time in real life for an average person, just like it’s not needed for an average developer anymore.
Do you have any name or link to specific products?
Maybe I'm wrong, but my experience with different kinds of heating tell me otherwise. Using AC (or any kind of air heater) has terrible efficiency, in the sense that when you turn it off, any small leak will drain all the hot air and you are left with a cold room. On the other hand, using radiating heat means the heat is "stored" in thermal mass in the room, so opening doors or windows have little effect.

The problem these days, though, is that the equity in House 1 is often needed to buy House 2 if you move, otherwise you're dipping into your nest egg for a second down payment, which is not financially wise. Equities generally have a higher rate of return than real estate.

Also, multiple homes mean multiple maintenance bills, and also the potential for bad tenants wrecking the place. I had a rental property in the past and had to spend multiple thousand dollars staging it for sale because, renters generally DGAF about maintenance, and property managers get lazy and do the bare minimum to get it rented.
They could incentivize it by subsidizing a heat pump use rate. There’s technology to identify these remotely I imagine.
I've been talking to GPT and asking it long multi part questions and it does seem to 'think through' them, and able to provide negative responses.

Specific logic questions like in this post, or long math formulas seem to still be a struggle. But I get the impression it is just a matter of time before it is scaled up to handle them.

You can argue whether it is 'reasoning' about them or not. But if it becomes indistinguishable from a human, then does the word 'reason' even really apply to the human anymore? Both are black boxes, giving answers.
Very cool!

I suspect the main problem here is that the input motion is too "perfect". There needs to be more randomness involved, otherwise you are just going to get really loud harmonics like you do when playing a perfect square wave.

When I play the trumpet, there is a spectrum of pitch tuning I can do for each note by buzzing my lips differently; and the middle of that spectrum (the correct note) is the easiest to perform. Off-pitch notes are usually achieved by placing my lips off-center. It would definitely be worth exploring this behavior, since an infinitely perfect lip placement does not occur in nature.

When I was taught to play the trumpet, one focus (for all wind instruments, really) was to always use more airflow than necessary, especially when playing quietly. This results in a cleaner sound, probably because the lip movement changes less suddenly while still altering enough pressure to be loud. With that general sense in mind, I suspect the need for more airflow is to compensate for relatively square-wave-like pressure waves from the lips simulation.

I wonder what sounds you could get if you recorded yourself buzzing your lips into your real mouthpiece, then using that as an input. Of course, that would be tricky, because blowing into a mouthpiece feels very different than blowing into a trumpet. Could this model potentially be simulated in reverse to find a good input?
but tangibly, coherently, most compilers deal with most UB in a sane way.

They used to, but unfortunately increasingly not so much now.

Fun story on accidentally buying Douglas Adams' Mac IIfx from ebay:
http://web.archive.org/web/20051127025410/http://www.vintage...

"When switched on for the first time, it was clear that the last user had little understanding of how to store files on the hard disk. The root directory contained hundreds of MacWrite documents. Scrolling through them was a pain and, as I have no interest in other people's private affairs, I selected the lot and deleted them. /.../

I started up MacWrite Pro and noticed that it was registered to "Douglas Adams, Serious Productions Ltd". I paid little attention to this as I had seen warez copies of Claris software where the registered user was Douglas Adams. I then started Claris Resolve, ignoring a warning dialog (mistake number two), and noted that this software was also registered to Douglas Adams. The copies of Claris Works 4.0 and Now Up-to-Date were registered to Jane Belson; I was unfamiliar with the name but a quick web search determined that she is Douglas Adams's widow."

>Those empty caverns are the largest opportunity for capture

How large?

We have 42,592 trillion cubic feet of CO2 in the atmosphere, and the projected total natural gas that can be extracted going forward in the US over the next 85 years is 2,973 trillion cubic feet.

First, will we even extract that much? I've heard that using that much will create more CO2 than we can handle.

And, taking the wild assumption that we do extract that much, how much of that natural gas will come from fracking, and how much from caverns?

Let's be generous and say that 50% comes from caverns. So now we have 2973 times 0.5 which gives 1486 trillion cubic feet of space we can eventually use for the plan you describe, if we use more natural gas than we safely can use.

And that's making again another overly generous assumption in favor of your plan which is that these caverns are somehow left in a state of vacuum before we start putting in CO2.

And let's be fair and assume we only want to sequester say 20% of the CO2, so we want to squeeze 8,518 trillion cubic feet of CO2 into this idealized generously estimated 1,486 trillion cubic feet.

Naturally the gas will be injected under pressure.

I imagine this gets incredibly complex, and there will be leakage, and it will be the province of huge contracting companies that historically have shown themselves to be mainly interested in getting to a finish line such that they can get paid by the taxpayers, with help from their bought-and-paid-for lawmakers, long term results and consequences be damned (see: oil and gas industry, nuclear industry).

I don't feel very good about this plan.

But I can envision the ear-to-ear grins at the contracting companies when they found out "the libs" are going to make tax dollars rain on them for continuing to extract oil and gas out of the ground using some paperwork and a variation of a process they were already doing, even though it probably won't achieve the ends those libs want.

Toronto’s change in COL is high, but the absolute COL just isnt that high compared to other major cities. Your home price doubled in 8 years which is high but not crazy for a strong housing market. Thats a 9% annual growth rate. On par with the historical SP 500 rate.

Also for reference, everone should know 592k CAD is 433k USD and 1.2M CAD is 880 USD.

By all means it’s expensive and has changed relatively fast. But Toronto isnt even top 25 for most expensive cities. Most rankings ive seen dont even have it in the top 50. I think people are surprised by this because its changed fast and feels expensive but in reality its cheaper than the major metros in the US, mich of Western Europe, China, Japan, SK.

> If it continues for another decade, we can presume no young person today will ever be able to afford a home.

In Toronto. Welcome to having a large, growing city. Generally speaking young people dont buy homes in NYC, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, SF, and about 50 other places. Probably 2/3rds of the world population are living in metros like this.

Google is worse, in my opinion.

"Currently, existing apps (across mobile, Android Auto, Android TV) must target API level 31 or above by August 31, 2023 (target API 30 or up API level 33 for Wear OS). Otherwise, they will stop being discoverable to all Google Play users whose devices run Android OS versions newer than your app’s target API level"

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ...

It is now a yearly requirement to target the latest API version.

You might have "working apps that target Android 6" but no one with a phone built after 2017 can find them. I often run into incompatibilities between API versions.
In the context of software I’ll unapologetically defend the subscription model. I’m not maintaining your software forever (when the platform it’s on often has breaking changes version to version) without recurring revenue. If I have to only focus on B2B software to make that happen, so be it. Mobile platforms really forced the hands of developers here. Windows will happily run 30 year old software — you could actually “finish” software and move on to the next project. iOS and Android won’t run apps from 5 years ago. Their store policies constantly change and you have to frequently keep up with new agreements lest your store listing be removed. And of course your app will be downranked into oblivion on the store search if you’re not charging a fee — why would the App Store promote apps that don’t make money for the App Store owners, and why would they promote one-time payment apps over subscription apps?
No. When we were kids, my generation was promised flying cars, unlimited fusion power, and sentient computers. There's a good chance I'll live to see one out of three of those things happen, and that's better than the zero out of three I thought we'd get.
Oddly, some parts of their API continued to work. When we take online purchases we have a checkbox to allow customers to keep their card on file (stored with Square - we keep a card ID generated by Square). Well, our software accesses the Square Customers API first to store the card, before we try to create a payment. So during the outage, all these customers were able to put their cards on file, but then the payment failed within the same 1-second time span. The result was that we ended up with tons of duplicate cards on file as customers kept re-submitting.

His graph should be labelled with "exerted effort" involved rather than "technical distribution". It's about the same amount of difficulty to distribute podcasts/books/music on the internet, but podcasts require the least amount of effort (connect microphones to pc, hit record in any basic audio recording app) whereas books require a sustained amount of effort across time as does music. Publishing a book also requires you to learn specialist software for publishing the book (although Vellum seems to have simplified this) and music requires you to master a DAW. Obviously narrative films and games require not only more effort but 99.99% of the time, a team to make.

This hits the nail. I agree that there are tons of music teachers, especially classically trained teachers who are like this. They can't/won't/don't teach improvising, composing, encourage you to develop your personal style, ask you to bring your favorite pieces to play, teach you musicianship etc... My own violin teacher taught me nothing other than playing Bach et al. I did pass all those ABRSM violin exams, so people would call me a "good" violinist but I had absolutely zero idea when it comes to ear training, interval training, composing, improvising, listening to music, rhythmic training, notation, music theory etc. Nothing. Now as an adult, I'm composing, writing my own pieces I like that other musicians play, and I'm only now realizing how incredibly shitty my music education was. They made me a robot. I didn't learn any music, I just learned how to correctly move the bow.

No, the stock market is exactly the opposite of real estate investing. Land is finite, capital is not.

Speculation on land value is non-productive, whereas capitalization of productive economic firms is precisely the definition of economic productivity.

Real estate gains, when they are not from development, are all rentierism, the enemy of economists of all sorts.

The challenge with all these sites is always the same, how can you attract enough people so that there's a healthy discussion on at least some of the top items and how will you make people's attention worth it over HN / Reddit / Twitter.

So far, only seen it working out partly for lobste.rs, there, at least there's some discussion, but TBH I still ask myself how is that better than just going to HN or even Reddit, as the conversation is practically the same as here.

There are plenty of legal restrictions on free speech. Defamation, for example. We don't consider it laws against defamation to be tyranny, but rather legitimate acts of governance.

Moreover, the case in question did not involve an act of Congress, or in fact any express act of governance at all. There's a difference between being legally or illegally compelled by the government and simply being contacted by a government official. The government has freedom of speech, too, and they are allowed to express concern about dissemination of materials counter to the public interest.
