>One hurdle that will need to be overcome is that NF-Y also regulates important processes in healthy cells, such as metabolism and the cell cycle, the series of steps that cells go through as they grow and divide. However, Vakoc and team hypothesize that because RMS cells are "highly sensitive" to changes in PAX3-FOXO1 expression, there could be a "window of opportunity" in which a drug inhibits NF-Y long enough for RMS cells to differentiate but not so long that healthy tissues get damaged.

The characteristics or traits of top performers (and why you’re screwed)
I've had a good experience with Vanta. They help automate infra related controls which is huge when you come from manual screenshot hell that SOC2 can be.
I love these kinds of tests. Another thing to keep in mind is that these models will often have a different answer each time you ask it. Especially the Sally question. I get the right answer with wizard-vicuna:70b, but only about 30% of the time, and if I ask it to explain, it almost never gives the right answer.
I've never seen the specific "17%" figure before, do you have any links to studies about that? I'd love to read them!
Unless legislation changes, investors will just scoop up the sales and keep property values high. It's a pessimistic take but I don't see any deviation from this path (in Canada and the US).
Different types of mitigations which have different levels of social acceptance. Washing hands is a more socially acceptable mitigation than wearing high quality masks, for example.
This is great...thank you!
Separation Techniques and Circular Economy
I don't know about peaceful but you could move. There were no visas and in fact no passports. Though, trying to get inside a "city" (ie: citadel) might be tricky. I guess they used gifts before to convince the other party.

That being said, if you settled somewhere in some large empty land, no one will complain.
I'm seriously pondering a semi-/underground house to save on heating and cooling costs, protection from fires, tornadoes, hail, and hurricanes.

I advise against circular structures because they're damn difficult to furnish.

There's a number of interesting videos on YT about such.
Yeah, you're a tech weirdo. Don't out yourself this easily. Don't talk about "your brain" and ADHD and "information density" and all that. It's better to conceal your power level in the corporate world. If you want to play with the corporate chads, you need to play by the rules, however awful those rules may be.
I don't have to change any kind of batteries, charge and they also work flawlessly, as well as weigh less. I get why a wireless mouse is such a great thing, they are fantastic to control, but for a keyboard a thin USB-C wire isn't big of a deal.
If ChatGPT is a) usually used with a setting that makes it non-deterministic and b) for whatever reason, is also non-deterministic when that setting is not used... then why did you comment as if the person calling it a non-deterministic LLM was incorrect? They didn't claim all LLMs are, or must be, non-deterministic, just that it's a problem with this one that is.
> the Go code has MORE functionality (flag parsing) with LESS code.

Your code does not have more functionality than GNU's yes as written. It's less code you have to write because of the flag parsing code that has already been written, and it's incompatible with GNU's yes because yours requires -m to change the message.
I don't think it would be if it wasn't for a bunch of people who decided to start an unrelated holy war against any mitigation of the virus. They caused everyone to become hyper alert for any signs of dissent which has made this whole thing measurably harder to manage.
Ask HN: Online Reservation scams: what’s the worst you’ve seen?
We did a road trip around Washington and ran into a number of reservation scams.

Online hotel booking specified $47/ night in “taxes and recovery fees” – actual taxes per night were only $11.

Online hotel reservation charged $15 / night for parking – but upon arrival we discovered parking was free and un-ticketed . $15 charge for nothing.

USFS campsites offer 50% discount for America The Beautiful pass holders when paying in person, but reservations.gov does not honor the discount. Also reservations.gov charges a 10% booking fee. A $13 campsite in person costs $30 /night booked online.

When visiting a popular tourist town, public parking was $6 / day. Using the recommended app to book daily parking rates were charging $20 — a > 300% increase.

In the end we booked in person to avoid the scam. We saved over 50% on the hotel and 75% on daily parking. This was just a single 5 day trip.

What other online booking scams have you encountered? How do you get around them?
Ignoring Arab colonisation of Europe is something most Europeans do.

> This means that my family's wealth has increased by $75,000 per year just from owning our home. That's more than the median income in Canada!

This is a pattern we also see in Europe. Homeowners, largely older, get richer and richer by just standing still, while at the same time controlling politics so that fiscal policy supports this and new construction is made expensive by regulations.

It surprises me that Canada, with a relatively younger population, has similar issues.
That poem is beautiful. Thank you.
It would be nice if the organizations would publish a hash of the code and the trained dataset.

I don’t wish to pry in asking this but…

How do you afford something that high? Were you coming into this with a trust fund or are you one of those 300k+ per year engineers? I make 130k and feel my 220k mortgage (7.5% interest sadly) is scary.

Every time I watch one of those House Hunter type shows in Canada or just look at the home prices in my old home in Charleston I’m boggled by purchases.
I found Vanta (best SEO on this topic) thanks for the other names, will do.
What's the price to expect for both iso27001 and SOC2?
anyone who hasn't been following natural language processing for a long time, what these llms are doing would be like if you discovered that dogs can speak fluent english if you read enough bedtime stories to them. and then everyone is like well sometimes the dog makes up things or it can't get the rhyming scheme correct for this specific form of poetry that i asked it to make.
They move somewhere else?
Maybe, maybe not. The magic of LLMs is their ability to generalize both from the human language in the data set and examples in the prompt. If RLHF training improves on that generalization, then it's just a matter of getting a big enough high quality dataset (and not crippling it with censorship). This is probably what's given OpenAI their initial advantage.

Time will tell I guess.
Seems like an alarmingly big scary number, but due to the fact that there has been extremely low amounts of rental housing created by purpose built rental (PBR) housing for decades, and virtually all rental housing is created via condo creation and secondary rental of condos, necessarily if there is going to be any rental housing creation at all, it will be due to investors buying condos and renting them out.

As rental demand spikes as it has been, it makes perfect sense that investor interest and share of the market would also increase.

Now obviously, one can point out "near zero purpose built rental development seems bad!" and many have, but so long as condos dominate what is being built, a relatively high investor share is actually normal and required.

If investors for example were limited or banned at this moment, the most immediate net result would be increased scarcity for renters, and higher rents.

In the long term clearly there needs to be more PBRs, non-profit rental and publicly owned rental housing.
Freedom of speech isn't just about what the government does.

As far as the first amendment is concerned, government limitation of free speech, political speech in particular, is what matters.
> censorship is heavily tilted towards one ideology

This is the craziest thing I've read all day.
It's because statistically they are just almost entirely from India. There are a few Chinese ones but it's no where near the amount of Indian hires. Chinese H1b candidates are post graduates from PhD programs and are less common but make up the 2nd largest but still extremely small group.
The world treated them well.

> Read a bit about british opium wars

Sinophiles bellyache about the opium war but conveniently forget recent history.

Read about events during WW2: The US supported China in WW2 which happened much recently than the opium wars.

Read about events after WW2: The US/West gave China economic prosperity through asymmetric deals that decimated the Western middle class while China continued to grow at the expense of the West (through unfair trade deals, outright theft, flagrant violations of international labor and pollution standards, etc.).

Instead of a fake humility, I really wish people read more.

Only so long till China can rent seek from the world before the world says no.

It is not just the West that has an issue with China. India, Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan all have issues. Last time I saw a map, they were not in the West.
I said several replies to you ago and have reiterated that position:

Changing one's mind requires you to first have a position. You keep arguing for me to see it your way, as if I believe the opposite to be true. I don't.
Great post, thank you.

As you acknowledge in your wording, we don't know for sure, but for me this part states it very clearly what might unfortunately be a key driver at least at this stage of that company:

ChatGPT will replace a lot of management functions.
the embedded server is great for dev, but useless for production. for example any url that contains a dot "." is considered to be a static file. so for example this path does not do what it's spposed to do /login.php?token=fghjjbjkkooll.rfcgg
"Drop in replacement" makes an implicit guarantee about utility. It sets expectations about what I'm able to accomplish by investing time and effort into a solution. I don't expect tall people to have any specific utility.

If you call something a drop in replacement and it is not a drop in replacement, it's simply a lie.
Fraud and intent to kill are all reasonable things for the government to fight. Forcing consensus on all speech surrounding a new and unknown virus doesn’t seem to fall into those categories. There’s plenty of gray area, and probably some intentionally harmful misinformation was disseminated, but on the whole, I’d prefer to err on the side of liberty when dealing with gray areas.
> Been there, done that. I agree with this for the bay area, living in a vehicle seems like the only chance at getting ahead.

If you’re living in a van in the Bay Area to try and get ahead as a knowledge worker you’re doing the Bay Area backwards.

The point of living in the Bay Area is to get a higher paying job, not save money. How much you save on rent a month is pretty negligible when you’re competing with high earners when buying a home.

Saving 3k a month in rent nets you an additional 36k a year. It doesn’t matter, some people make this in as an after tax bonus within a month.

Agreed. I’ve never once not been able to easily find a restroom in the US. Europe is much worse, where you often have to buy toilet paper or something silly to keep people from using the restroom.
Nice post. I learnt via https://ziglings.org - koans where you fix minor, and increasingly hard things to learn a languages concepts.
I think history will be quite harsh on the censors in the west once we regain our footing, but not only the activists who pushed for these ideas through various means, but also to technicians (looking at a lot of people who might be reading this comment) who enabled their arguably obviously ill behavior.

Naturally, one can only demand so much of the average citizen in terms of civil courage to say no when tyrants try to dictate the direction of society, but for the sake of your own clean conscience I ask you humbly to simply quit your job if you work for and enable people who push policies like this. It would be honorable to make a fuss, whistleblow etcetera, but there are clear drawbacks to your private life in general to this. But you can choose to not enable their ill activism, by not working for them.

And if you decide not to, how will you argue that you did the right thing when all the chips fall down, as they do for all of us eventually. In the end not everything in our lives is an economic calculation. Are you happy with what you've accomplished, proud even?
I believe like this.

As a novice I'm interested in how people reason through this sort of question. I was surprised the person I replied to used the reasoning they used, and that's what I was asking about.

If we put the entire 100M/day traffic evenly distributed in a single hour we're in the order of 10k qps. Isn't that the same order of magnitude as the absolute max writes you can buy from AWS RDS Postgres for a single-primary setup without sharding? That seems to me to be a worryingly close hard limit that suggests you'd want to start working on something a little more complex
Employing 2 million people is (relatively) easy. Train them for all applicable law in the world is hard.
Almost as though he's been studying it. Funny, that.
I've personally never had trouble going to a restaurant or other place with restrooms for customers, but I'm sure things are very different in places known for people who are homeless, drug-addicted, mentally ill, or criminals.

If people use few consumables and keep the restroom clean, it's probably more likely to remain open to the public. But I'd imagine the staff doesn't want to clean up a biohazard or deal with dirty needles.
Nice! I'm curious, does Pelican support custom components in your posts?
and “it’s not intelligence, they’re just stochastic parrots acting in response to external stimuli! yes it passed the MCAT, but thats because it was trained on prep materials just like I was!”
Or people post outliers because they're more interesting.
>People are renting/living in groups or with parents, are unemployed or underemployed, and can't live in the areas where they would want to live.

This is true. I live with my 5 adult sons because the alternative is homelessness for all of us.

> Building more houses is not simply the answer

Not the answer because there is no the answer. It is one critical part of the way out tho.

> since they are unaffordable to the people who need them.

Also true. While unaffordable housing dominates new builds, we are extending the growing homelessness crisis out another generation or so.
Humans faced a 'close call with extinction' nearly a million years ago
I disagree that the root problem is "destitution" rather than affordable housing.

I haven't seen much good research on the best way to solve homelessness, but most cross-city analyses suggest that high rent (and low housing density) is the main determinant of homelessness rates: https://sci-hub.ee/10.1111/1467-9906.00168

Note that "extreme poverty," "low-wage jobs," and welfare recipients were not significant factors.

A second study claims the "the availability of low income housing and of mental health care are the strongest predictors. Relatively modest investments in improving availability of these services would provide considerable payoff in reducing homelessness": https://sci-hub.ee/10.2307/800641

A third study I can't find now concluded that 25th-percentile-rent (rather than median rent) was the most significant factor (ie, availability of affordable housing).
You've demonstrated nothing and made no discernable argument to anyone. Best of luck in the job search my friend.
Just like GNOME!

> limited innovation & productivity

Thing is, historically, Canada was incredibly innovative. It seems there was a culture shift somewhere in the 90s where "getting a good job" became the goal of Canadians.

We can see this echoed in education data. Canada has become the most educated nation, but is so because of an exceptionally high rate of vocational training. Canada lags well behind when it comes to research-focused education.

As seen in the link's charts, the US housing market crashed in 2006 because, after a period of innovation stagnation (Dotcom bust, 9/11), new innovation was taking hold. Investors left housing to ride that train, and thus the price declined. The people of Canada do not appear to have it in them to offer anything other than housing to investors.
He's using his bullhorn at Twitter to spread antisemitic lies at a time when hate crimes against Jews are escalating. That definitely rubs me the wrong way and I worry about those it doesn't.
Investors paying 8% can’t make the math work either.
I completely agree with what you are saying, I'm just describing what ACTUALLY happened. With 99% occupancy, this is literally what the price happened. Otherwise I can't explain how my rent was 1400$/month for a 2 bedroom 3 years ago and now it's 2700+$, which is insane

Oh, how does that work? Sounds like the encrypted connection isn’t?
Ok, but people who did not buy a home ten years ago still have to compete in the same housing market, and they didn't earn an additional $75,000 every year from their labor.
If "getting the hell out of the way" means removing red tape that was previously a case of the government causing there to be less housing then, then yes that's one way they can help.

If they're already at an ideal low of red tape (keeping in mind we probably don't want to get rid of laws that require things like making sure buildings are safe both for the occupants and for the builders), and aren't restricting the market in any foolish ways, but the market still isn't providing enough housing, then I disagree that the government shouldn't actively try to improve the situation.

Citing an example of a government apparently doing a bad job doesn't mean that every job a government does has to be bad. Otherwise seeing a private building company doing a bad job leads to also thinking private businesses shouldn't be allowed either.

At the end of the day both companies and governments are run by humans, who are capable of doing great things and terrible things, and of doing them both well and badly.

The response should be to argue about what a good government initiative could consist of, not to say that if there's a problem they should just throw their hands up in the air and pray that it improves by itself.
Nothing about current capacity either.

Each 2 kilos of elemental zinc that can be oxidized to release electricity requires 1 kilo of oxygen to be brought into the reaction. So it's efficient in some ways since you don't have to supply the oxidant as part of the battery package. But it takes a lot of cubic feet of oxygen to make a kilo, it's not easy to get that many grams of oxygen into the eletcrolyte very fast, and air is only about 21 percent oxygen. So it takes way more kilos of air than it does zinc.

Rechargeable or not, for very high current duty you may just need pure oxygen and it may be better under pressure, or perhaps compressed air might up the current capacity in a worthwhile way.

Interestingly, in some industrial oxygen measuring devices the sensor itself is a zinc-air "battery" consisting of a thin film of teflon (which is somewhat porous to oxygen) streched across the only exposed face of an electrolyte-moistened metallic zinc electrode, surrounded by a reserve of gel electrolyte that replenishes as it creeps into the layer between the zinc and the teflon film. At nominal 21 percent ambient oxygen content a steady current is produced from the rate of oxygen diffusing through the film making contact with the zinc, measured by a meter, and calibrated to display 21. In reduced oxygen atmospheres the minuscule oxygen directly in contact with the zinc is rapidly depleted and the meter declines accordingly into the "unsafe" region.
Yes, and yet people bought and sold properties and those that held eventually saw their asset appreciate. And that’s my point - “Before all was the land…” is the start of many opening chapters on real estate, because oil, mining, timber, housing, commerce - it all ties back to this physical asset. It is innately an immovable asset thus it will always have value and that value will fluctuate (generally increasing…) based on its marketability and use. So sure - real estate is different in each decade, but overall the treatment of it as an investment has been true as long as there has been civilization. It ain’t a coincidence that retiring Roman soldiers were given land as thanks for their service.

Yeah, this attitude that what sort of limit is absolutely necessary is "subjective", "essentially a matter of personal opinion" is exactly what the US (not every single american, but american first amendment jurisprudence) is the exception to.
I remember the first earthquake I experienced. Same feeling: everything around me started shaking; for several seconds, I couldn't figure out what was happening; and then it suddenly hit me: it's an earthquake.

> The main problem is that tokio futures are 'static

An important distinction to make is that tokio Futures aren't 'static, you can instead only spawn (take advantage of the runtime's concurrency) 'static Futures.

> This implies that you can't statically guarantee that a future is cleaned up properly.

Futures need to be Pin'd to be poll()'d. Any `T: !Unpin` that's pinned must eventually call Drop on it [0]. A type is `!Unpin` if it transitively contains a `PhantomPinned`. Futures generated by the compiler's `async` feature are such, and you can stick this in your own manually defined Futures. This lets you assume `mem::forget` shenanigans are UB once poll()'d and is what allows for intrusive/self-referential Future libraries [1]. The future can still be leaked from being kept alive by an Arc/Rc, but as a library developer I don't think you can/would-care-to reasonably distinguish that from normal use.
