San Francisco has the problem of inequality and an incompetent management, backed by people who wish the "homeless problem" just magically disappeared overnight.

The toilets and piles of human defecation rolling down the hill are a consequence of the above, and unsolvable until the above is addressed first. You can't borrow ideas from other cities around the world because those don't have rampant inequality.

The big part is royalty-free open-source licenses. If you don't want to pay ARM for an ISA and RISC-V is good enough for your needs then RISC-V might be for you.

Plus there are limitations on which countries the latest ARM designs can be shipped to. RISC-V has no such limitation. The RISC-V Foundation is based in Switzerland and so isn't subject to US trade sanctions.
What? I've never seen that in "Europe" in any country I've visited.

Which country are you talking about where you have to buy toilet paper?

In the UK I can think of a couple pay toilets at some of the big London train stations but other than that I can't remember seeing one.

Free toilets are everywhere.
It’s a reasonable question when the comment contradicts the headline, the article, and the decision.

Requiring water and power seems like a pretty basic requirement for a bathroom! Or are you expecting a sunlit composting toilet?
I agree, though I think the extra pernicious part of Temu is the junk is _so cheap_ that people order more of it hoping to get something decent.

On top of the lower prices Temu offers free returns which I would wager are just thrown out. However, this creates even lower barriers to over purchasing and more wasteful shipping and landfill usage.

Yep. Keep price rises in check by slowly introducing wealth taxes (LVT, capital gains, whatever). Balance this with decreased tax-take from income. Also ensure that central bank remit takes proper account of property inflation to keep interest rates in check (i.e. not letting them get too low while house prices are rising too quickly).
I find the title and article really strange. Murder is specifically defined as the UNLAWFUL killing of a HUMAN BEING.

Murder basically is a legal definiton. Anything else is just killing. And I don't think this definition applies to cats at all.

> I’ve written quite a few Rust projects where I expect it to only involve blocking primitives, only to find out that, actually, I’m starting to do a lot of things at once, guess I’d better use async.

In my experience (which, admittedly, is far less than the author, a developer of smol!) the answer to "I'm starting to do a lot of things at once" in Rust is usually to spin up a few worker threads and send messages between them to handle jobs, a la Ripgrep's beautiful implementation.

In a way, it seems like async Rust appears more often when you need to do io operations, and not so much when you just need to do work in parallel.

Of course, you surely can use async rust for work in parallel. But it's often easier to keep async out of it if you just need to split up some work across threads without bringing an entire async executor runtime into the mix.

I don't think async/await was poorly implemented in Rust - in fact, I think it avoids a lot of problems and pitfalls that could have happened. The complications arise because async/await is, kind of, ideologically antithetical to Rust's other goal of memory safety and single-writer. Rust really wants to have its cake (compile-time memory safety) and eat it too (async/await). And while you can criticize it, you have to admit they did a pretty good job given the circumstances.
Glaciers are obviously important to people and wildlife in the region, but I don't think it's important as global heat reservoir. Glaciers are only 1.74% of total water on earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_distribution_on_Earth

Cool! He has some books on the topic that you'd be interested in.
Seems like it would be possible to come up with partnerships between local businesses and governments. A business could be paid a certain amount to make their bathroom publicly accessible. As I’m writing this it’s sounding familiar, so maybe this is already a thing in some places? Could maybe even have the local government send out crews to do the cleaning.
An appeals court overturning portions of a preliminary injunction does not indicate that “the government largely acted correctly” — the appeals court itself says the exact opposite.

You stated that “The appeals ruling, therefore, is being interpreted here (and, in many cases, intentionally spun) in a way exactly opposite to what it actually found”, but that’s literally what you’re doing — blatantly in bad faith, contrary to the headline, the article in a major newspaper, and the actual decision itself.

The state has an interest in keeping people alive, and in having people not make decisions which will negatively impact those around them.

wow. that is courageous!

looks like an interesting project... but I must admit it's not really something I use or need anymore. I used to do some book conversions when I would only find (say) a `azw` or a `mobi` file and would need to convert to `epub` but these days (a) I just find a `epub` but even if not (b) koreader can read `mobi` files and a lot more i can throw at it and (c) `azw` files are basically unconvertible, if I followed that correctly.

Speaking of which, do you do the DeDRM dance?

It's not just SF. Was in the Venice/Santa Monica area recently, every restaurant had a prominent sign "Restrooms for customers only. No Exceptions"

My impression is the USA is falling apart. Every year people get more rude, more selfish, break more laws, are less courteous, there is more crime. I'm not sure I believe the "crime is going down" stats. (hope that doesn't make me stupid)

The problem as I see it is people stop reporting crimes because they know the police will do nothing about it. I've had my car broken into 5 times. I don't think I reported it more than once. Further, some places like California, have declared they won't prosecute property crime under a certain amount so again, even less reporting. So, the numbers appear to be going down but in reality they seem to be going up (That's certainly my personal perception but maybe I'm being influenced by sensational news and personal experience. I definitely see objectively going up in traffic violations. People don't seem to give a fuck anymore. They just do whatever they want)

I have no idea how to fix it or influence people to be nicer and more respectful of the law. Maybe it's the bankers getting off from the financial crisis. Maybe it's the police being perceived as part of the problem. All I know is more and more I think I should go back to a 1st world country because this one no longer feels like one.
That article is US-centric and doesn't apply to Australia, where the problem is much greater than birds.

Python is a fun case of "all of the above" (or rather, a layering of styles once it turns out a previous one isn't workable).

Originally, they used pure reference counting GC, with finalizers used to clean up when freed. This was "fine", since RC is deterministic. Everything is freed when the last reference is deleted, nice and simple.

But reference counting can't detect reference cycles, so eventually they added a secondary tracing garbage collector to handle them. But tracing GC isn't deterministic anymore, so this also meant a shift to manual resource management.

That turned out to be embarrassing enough that context managers were eventually introduced to paper over it. But all four mechanisms still exist and "work" in the language today.

The energy wastage here is exactly what I was talking about to many AI bros here who continue to consume tons of water from rivers to be used for inefficient training and inference operations which completely burns the planet.

This isn't the first time this was reported either so it is a problem [0] [1] still unsolved for years by the deep learning community over finding production-grade efficient methods that doesn't require tons of water and data centers.

Don't give me the 'but it is useful' excuses for deep learning when you have no efficient inference methods or alternative training operations that are efficient and reduces 99.999% of energy usage which other problematic industries such as petrol / diesel cars [2], crypto [3], etc have done so with new efficient alternative technologies available today to counter their CO2 that they have contributed.

The first part was certainly pretty. The rest, I'm not sure. I found it quite boring.
> Why don’t people like async?

That's pretty simple. The primary goal of every software engineer is (or at least should be) ... no, not to learn a new cool technology, but to get the shit done. There are cases where async might be beneficial, but those cases are few and far in between. In all other cases a simple thread model, or even a single thread works just fine without incurring extra mental overhead. As professionals we need to think not only if some technology is fun, but how much it actually costs to our employer and about those who are going to maintain our "cool" code when we leave for better pastures. I know, I know, I sound like a grandpa (and I actually am).
Provided that you can actually do it, it depends upon whether you are doing signed shifts or not and whether you are doing left or right.

The glaciers are not the only parts of the system affected by the warming. And with a complex system you get a lot of positive feedback loops that with more warming they push add more warming on their own (either more emissions like the one caused by permafrost thawing or more heat absorption because less ice reflecting light).

Glacier melting is just another milestone in a road that will be pretty hard to stop walking till the end.
Probably most of EU, too. And the extra coins it takes means it is at least moderately clean. But just in case, always good to carry a few Euro coins around for the attendants.

This is actually what I want Calibre the most for. It sorts things in folders quite nicely.

I am one of those weirdos that really appreciated iTunes setting up my music by Artist/Album/Track.mp3 format back in the days... until I realized how much badly-tagged garbage I had in there at which point, yeah, I was upset. :p

But nowadays I just have books setup by Author/Book/book.epub and that ... works okay. I mean it's one way to sort things around. I am actually considering a fully flat structure now so that koreader can show me previews, and I think Calibre could allow that, as I can customize its naming patterns...

But yeah, it can be kind of annoying for software to rename files for you especially if you're not starting from scratch. But Calibre is the first thing I used to sync books on my ebook reader (a sony PRS-T2 i think!) so i did start from scratch and just kept going, so i didn't get many bad surprises, and it in fact forced me to keep my metadata clean to a certain extent (otherwise books end up in the wrong folder).

Are there cheaper places in Canada? In the US, if you can work remotely, you can get better and bigger house 2x-3x cheaper than, say, around the Silicon Valley or any similarly priced cities, and still earn hi-tech salary. Of course, you need a remote-friendly job (which may cut off some opportunities) and you need to agree to live in a place that is not the first destination for every fashionable band out there, but it's possible.
Seems like an open-source/DIY or kit (requiring some assembly) for educational applications is great in the context of a class or project where building/fixing/upgrading the robot is the point, and where 3D printing is readily available.

If the main purpose is for the robot to do something - the DIY approach is more likely to suffer issues that, without support, may discourage students because they're fussing with/fixing the bot instead of doing the thing.

Out of curiosity, what's the $40k kit you mentioned?

Educational packages are all over the place (some seem to be price-gouging, frankly) but the low-end (in terms of payload + reach) of commercial/industrial cobots is getting pretty affordable.

Maybe pockets are one of those things that everyone says they’d like, but really that preference is subordinate to so many other considerations, that it doesn’t materially affect the success of the product. Couple that with simply costing a tiny bit more or just being different than the status quo, and it ends up a nonstarter, because why bother with something that won’t make the product more successful?

I agree that most constructivists define things differently than this. I brought up this example in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37425642 to demonstrate that you were wrong in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37423933 to claim that Cantor's argument necessarily must work constructively. It works in some constructive systems, and not in others.

I'm not arguing for attempting to work in such constructive systems. Merely pointing out that they exist. And their existence is a limitation on what diagonalization can prove a priori.

Also look at what you said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37427973. Now can you see that my point is not nonsense? Diagonalization really does add a layer of self-reference. And the fact that it does is why it doesn't work in the system that I described.

This also explains the point that I was making in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37428468. Your Coq proof was fine for what it proved. But it was not looking at the key piece of my example. Which is the fact that the functions are not necessarily total functions. They are merely functions which we have a specific reason for believing that they might be total. Namely a proof from a particular set of axioms. And my whole point was that the diagonalized function in general doesn't have equivalent evidence of being total. Which is a point of complexity that your Coq proof did not address.

Are you still so certain that I don't know what I'm talking about?
Your comment is accusatory but not adding anything. A single random quote from a large decision with no context or discussion about the larger case doesn’t contribute the way it would if you wrote some original argument of your own based on your understanding of the original case and the appeal.
That's a beautiful house. I wonder if the space you inhabit changes what you create. If that is the case offices need to be better thought about.
I disagree. They do sell cheap low-quality items, so you can expect less quality. However, they have a good return procedures and you're paying with a credit card. You really don't have to worry about getting scammed.

It's like Ikea. Sometimes a cheap product is what you're looking for, other times it's terrible. However, they accept returns readily so I'm not sure why you're worried about getting scammed.
