Funny, I never would have the idea of buying a tent to leave it on the field after a festival. Even a cheap one. I had a similar feeling the first time a saw a disposable camera. Leave me now, I need to sit and reflect on the meaning of life.

Though as the sister comment mentions, low-density settings also seem to correlate, at least for the counties outside of the South.

It would be nice to see multiple maps, split up by category, with an additional one for gun-related deaths (combined suicide and assault).
Strange that the counties with major cities like Chicago with high gun violence don't even register?
Maybe if someone has nothing to lose they are a flight risk, but if they have $100k on the line, they won't be?

Same exact question can be asked about someone who's poor with a $500 bond. That same $500 will be trivial to pay for someone who's not poor. In what world is this anything but systemic punishment for being poor?
That’s one correlation but it seems like that conjecture doesn’t extend to Florida or Texas.
The original idea came from something I saw at work - we needed a way to build generic feature sets representing something about real estate, but beyond the data we had on prices, floors, and other house-specific details.
The baby boomers got old, which is why we peaked in the late 1980s. Now, whatever lull we've had in the crime rate for the last two decades, things are revving back. Theories on why vary, some think it is just entitlement and lack of punishment.

It can cost a lot to run a GPU, especially at full load. The 4090 stock pulls 500 watts of power under full load[0], which is 12 kWh/day or just under 4380 kWh a year, or over $450 in a year assuming $0.10-$0.11/kWh for average residential rates. The only variable is whether or not training requires the same power draw as hitting it with furmark.

Typically when I attend an outdoor events trying to go green, they'll replace something that's normally single-use with something reusable, like renting metal cutlery instead of using plastic. This feels weird. That said, I can't tell you how many times I've seen that reusable cutlery end up in the garbage because people can't be bothered.

No amount of greenwashing is going to solve the real problem, which is that too many people just don't care. The greenest solution was probably not to attend the festival to begin with; the second greenest solution was to attend but actually give a shit about the impact of your decisions.

Smoking is biggest shit that's widely accepted, why? idk

People argue that banning it would be against "freedom"

Please explain to me how:

1) causing harm to yourself

2) causing harm to people around you

3) paying for it additional taxes(!!!)

4) and all of that while being highly addictive

... how is it a freedom?

The nature of it being addictive removes "freedom" from the consideration.

It isn't freedom when you're addicted.

I know smokers and a lot of them says that they'd want to drop this shit, but they cant.
It's just another way of experiencing life. For many of us, the joy of exploring things this way isn't about removing the life or art from it; it's another way of witnessing and experiencing the life and art of it.

For example, I absolutely love aquascaping. I have a very scientific understanding and appreciation of it all, but it doesn't diminish how incredible and beautiful it all is for me. Some people look at it from a very aesthetic point of view, and to me it's often like some glorious chemistry and biology event occurring in front of me. I marvel at the fact that the nitrogen cycle is happening in this little slice of biotope. I love to test the water parameters and log what's been going in and out to better understand how it's working. I make nerdy little movies of the plants and animals. But you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who loves it significantly more, or finds it more beautiful in more meaningful ways. I just process it differently.

With the chili oil, understanding and experimenting with it can be part of how a more cerebral person engages with their appreciation, curiosity, or passion about the oil. Nerding out might just mean the person really loves it, and that's how they go about it. It's all good. Maybe they'll figure out a bad ass recipe that'll make the rounds eventually, and everyone can enjoy it.
Interesting that this was created by a Florida professor but Florida is the only southern state where it is mapped almost entirely "white"; completely different than the other Southern states that are red indicating high mortality.

I think I read somewhere recently that the majority of Americans were in favour of stricter gun reforms, yet no real change I laws seem to happen and all the current presidential candidates over in the US seems to not even dare touch the subject. I find it reprehensible and puzzling how they’ve got this weird relationship with guns, but it’s interesting how often people are using a certain interpretation of their constitution as to why they need all those guns, or thinking that it’s the safest option that everyone has guns to protect themselves against the “bad guys” than just making it really difficult for the average citizen to get a firearm.

Yes, they can.
Sorry! The presentation could be better. I'll work on the FAQ.
I lean towards your viewpoint as well. Their assumptions (axioms, postulates?) are highly controversial, while the actual principles seem quite sound to me.

The only issue I can see is with #5. I would argue for decision making, you absolutely need a single metric, otherwise the process collapses into bickering over which measure is more important at the time (often for political or interpersonal reasons). The point is a bit vague on what exactly is being evaluated (product quality, which means what?). For launching products or running A/B tests, aim for a single metric as your decision framework. If you must have more than one, then be explicit about the tradeoffs in a flowchart: e.g., "if X is > 0, we launch. If x <= 0, but y > 2%, we launch, otherwise no launch".
This looks a little bit like Colin Woodward’s recent update on Eleven Nations of North America but with different focus https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/09/01/america-li...
That isn't true in WA:

> Washington is a right-to-bail state, meaning a judge cannot hold a suspect without bail except in cases where the crime is punishable by the possibility of life in prison and there is “clear and convincing evidence of a propensity for violence,” meaning the suspect is likely to be a danger to the community if they are released.

https://www.king5.com/article/news/crime/washington-state-fe...

Why bail isn't being issued at all has more to do for the current push for equity, and also, we just don't want to put people in jail anymore. So they are guaranteed release with bail, and often that is reduced to no bail if the offender is indigent.

The US is kind of an outlier in gun ownership. What should we take away from this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-r...

Estimated number of civilian firearms per 100 people and gun deaths per 100000:

- El Salvador: 5.8, 78.52

- Brazil: 8.6, 23.93

- Colombia: 10.10, 20.38

- U.S.: 120.5, 12.21

- Mexico: 15, 11.55

If anything it seems like proximity to cartels is the most likely predictor of gun homicide rates

Meanwhile Switzerland has 27.6 guns per 100 civilians and 2.64 gun homicides per 100,000. So not sure what to conclude about gun ownership and homicides. Note that gun deaths not equal to gun homicides since deaths includes suicide and the CDC reports these items combined. If you wanted to discuss gun suicides that's fine but note this was about homicide.
It sounds like you're just making it up because you are refusing to cite any evidence and you have been asked multiple times for evidence

It’s because we don’t have a choice. A stacked Supreme Court that says any gun law has to be a gun law that would’ve been cool in 1776 has made any progress impossible without violent revolution
Dropping requires specific traits, mindset, strong discipline, etc. That's pretty high bar.

It is one of those invisible waves, like sound waves or the wave of anger that washes over one when looking at a graph of crime showing a downward trend. As one of those intangible waves it can only be explained qualitatively not quantitatively.

The doors were never open to Chinese immigrants except for limited periods.

Mass Chinese migration to the US only really began after the Civil War, and was quickly locked down with the Chinese Exclusion Act [0] only a few decades after the doors were "opened". Even then, naturalization of Chinese citizens as US citizens was still restricted. There even had to be a Supreme Court case to establish that the children of Chinese immigrants born in the US were US citizens! [1]

The Chinese Exclusion Act was only repealed in 1943, when a small number (literally hundreds, almost nothing) of Chinese migrants were allowed in, with that increasing slowly over time.

Even today, Chinese and Indian (and others, but the impact is greatest for high population countries) migration is limited by the H1B cap and multi-decade green card queues. If the queue to get a green card is so long that you'll die first [2], you have effectively been banned from permanent residency and naturalization.

My point is simple: doors were open to European migrants, so European migrants built the US and formed its national character. Other methods and types of migration may have also worked to build the US, but we'll never know because the US restricted them heavily and still does.

Sure, but that wouldn't change if they were written in code. It would probably get much worse, in fact.

Cool! Glad you got to see it working and that presentation was a nice reason to make sure everything was cleaned up.
Next step is to add verification for optimized code from the LLM with an SMT solver (like Z3) to remove "hallucinations". If the input and output code can be verified to be equivalent then this would be a great addition to an optimization pipeline. Once that's done the same can be applied to intermediate representations of GPU kernels in a recursive loop of AI optimizing AI code for faster execution times.
Why is that strange?

Maybe “high gun violence” in Chicago isn’t as high as you think it is?

Maybe Chicago’s population is relatively low compared to Cook County’s population and the extra people balance it out?

I was not fired on the spot, but quit shortly afterwards anyway.

My entire family has been geo-tracking each other since the early 2000's when my Dad got his hands on some early tech through his work.

Never once has it been used in a toxic or controlling way. It's great for peace of mind or figuring out when someone's getting home.

Controlling parents will be controlling with or without technology.
The only point that I made here is that without cash bail, there are simply no bounty hunters to consider at all. They don't exist, because there is no economic basis for their existence.

How we get people to appear for their court date when they have no reason to, is another story all together, and I have no idea. Obviously, someone living unhoused in society without assets to freeze or a home to confiscate, doesn't have much reason to show up. They are also the ones that couldn't pay bail anyways.
It does, to some extent, but it's still much closer to natural language than code. Expressing the law in code would turn this dial up to 11 and then some.
Yup, and while the similarity search is perhaps the most visually appealing way to work with it, the real use (in my opinion) is in providing generic sets of geospatial features which are reusable across applications. I've built out versions of H3-referenced feature sets at each of the jobs I've had over the last 10 years.

That’s certainly a … unique … take on why Twitter is failing.
What percentage of people granted bail are unable to post it for financial reasons? I don’t know the answer, but if the system is a good fit for the vast majority of people who ever get arrested, then I would consider that a good system.

There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
Damn. These things imitate humans too well. Guess we’ll need a giant test suite to feel stable. Sounds like work. Let’s train a GAN for that and put our feet up. Turtles all the way down, my dudes.

I want it banned because my stepmom (and father cause why not) chain smoked indoors my whole childhood. It's weird that we allow that.
It is usually just petty crime, and even if they make a judgment, they are just happy enough that the person is now some other jurisdictions problem. So let's say you have a warrant in Sitka Alaska, but in the mean time you've moved to Seattle, Sitka is like "this guy is Seattle's problem now, whatever we decide here we aren't going to pay to have them sent back." They won't hold a trial in abstentia, they'll just issue a bench warrant and move on to the next case.

All bets are off if you make it to a federal offense (e.g. stealing USPS mail). The feds don't mess around.
LOL.

Please back this up with some form of proof.

Homefront serenity is what underpins US military primacy, and to large extent hegemony. But that era will come to end with proliferation of conventional global strike.
Chicago and/or Cook County isn't particularly high on a per capita basis for violence. Generally the most violent places in the US are in the Southeast. (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/most-dangerous-cities-in-th...)

There are certain very specific parts of Chicago where violent crime rates are astronomical, but if you are worried about widespread violent crime, your best bet is to avoid the southern states.

Where did you learn that Chicago is so violent?

All of the things you mentioned are not languages themselves. If you google "catala language" (try it! seriously) you're going to get results for the natural language, not this one. It's just an unneeded roadblock that they placed on themselves.
Capitalist society has intentionally trained the general population to believe in free will and the strength of the human mind, such that population members say "I'm better than being brainwashed by ads" and allowing corpos to get away with a lot, lot, lot more manipulative psychological than should be legal.

Believing that smoking addiction is a mind-over-matter problem is one major extension of this.

I don't see the connection between adopting a vegan lifestyle and caring about biodiversity. You yourself point out that farmland practices are driving bird population decline, but vegans eat food that is produced on farms. I follow a carnivore diet because I think it is best for the nature and biodiversity -- I avoid eating plants that have been sprayed with pesticides that kill the bugs that the birds eat.

70% of soybeans grown in the US go to feed livestock.
It's not my method, it's the calculation of the percentage increase, which is the way of comparing 2021 and 2014's homicide rates that you originally proposed.

The y-axis of the chart you linked records the national homicide rate in units of homicides / 100k capita / yr, the standard units for reporting homicide rates. Those aren't percentages-- they have exactly the dimensions that the chart, and I, are talking about. So it's not correct to refer to "6.81%" in any way, because it's not a percentage. Subtracting the 2021 rate from the 2014 rate gives you a difference of 2.41 homicides / 100k / yr, which is also not a percentage. In order to express that as a percentage increase, you need to divide by the rate against which you're comparing (4.4 homicides / 100k / yr), which gives you ~1.5, i.e. a 50% increase.

We can discuss why that might have happened and whether you consider it notable, but we really can't debate a "2% increase" because that's just mathematically incorrect.

To your broader point, when we make diachronic comparisons of crime there's no particular reason to start the clock in 1990. The homicide rate is still higher than it was in 1950: https://www.statista.com/statistics/187592/death-rate-from-h....

And, crucially, there were many changes between 1950 and 2023 that made it easier to prevent homicides: material technology got way better in the form of smartphones, ubiquitous cameras, DNA evidence, shock trauma units (that turn would-be murders into attempted murders), and an aging population that's less prone to homicide in general. If you took all of those things away and tried to fight 2023's homicide rate with 1950's tech, you'd find we have quite a few thumbs on the scale today.
This is the one of the biggest things. If someone identifies with a set of pronouns (and it's one of the mainstream set no less) and the community goes out of their way to misgender them, there's no excuse for it, other than they're being purposely toxic. This is also something that takes zero effort to do (just call everyone "they" unless they explicitly indicate otherwise), and metiocracy or otherwise has no bearings.
