What is the reason to have higher education organized by geography instead of by industry? Shouldn't the medical industry be responsible for medical education, for example? Then you don't have a state or a city wasting investment on a student who will bail, and you don't have students who are disadvantaged for being born in the wrong state or city.
What has me excited about Llama: I've built some tools that I think would make sense to offer for an affordable "lifetime price" but they currently rely on OpenAI api / GPT4. I cannot get myself to offer lifetime memberships to something with an ongoing cost. Lately I've been considering building Electron apps with Llama for code embedded targeted toward Apple Silicon devices. I think with this stack I wouldn't incur any ongoing costs and these utilities could exist for a one time fee.

Can you quantify this? I glanced at the percent of immigrants in the US population and the median house price/median income, but both graphs go all over the place over the decades.

Can you elaborate on why you think this?
Ask HN: Should I choose a job aligned with my main or auxiliary interests?
I've had a not bad offer recently for a CEO assistant job aligned with my auxiliary interests and skills (medical/IT translation), where I may have an opportunity to also develop a bit one of my main interests (computer programming). Its advantage is short commute time, 80% familiar work routine. I may be building a website on Wordpress (LAMP) for them, but Wordpress is not my main interest, as they just need a better SEO.

But today I've had an offer for another CEO assistant job aligned with my more of my main interests (biophysics and biotech) for a company dealing with biolab equipment and reagents. I may have the basic (administrative and clerical) skills they require for this job, though less experience. The advantage is that it will allow to dive deeper into the biotech world and have staff trained in neurobiology as myself. And the main disadvantage is 3x longer commute time.
Also their staff seems to be mainly russians settled in a baltic EU country and due to recent global events I have a mental allergy to any type of russians in the EU.
At first I declined their offer and they said that ok they have enough candidates to choose from. Then I called again and got an invitation for an interview tomorrow.

Should I choose a job with a longer commute time aligned with my main interests or a more comfortable job aligned with my auxiliary interests?
Some games are quite dramatic, like Stellaris/Rimworld with TPS drops of ~30% or more.

And these are game ticks, so it actually affects the rate you play the game rather than just FPS.

If the robo taxies aren't cheaper than normal taxies, they simply aren't going to be used. The fact that taxies are so cheap in Singapore already makes me think that robo taxies aren't even needed (is labor really so cheap there?).

Good point. I wonder if there was some criteria that determined if a utility were to be a command or a builtin, originally. I thought a shell first and foremost was about working with processes, and a little less about working with files. But both are obviously needed, one way or another, so will be interesting to see what becomes of this.
I got locked out of the lan network for playing a game in high school. I don't remember which game, but I remember the teacher who ran the lab found a game stored in my directory on the fileserver. I had to beg forgiveness.
> Millions of homes are sitting empty because they are in places people don't want to live or don't have jobs that allow them to afford their lives.

I have a feeling it's much more the second than the first there. I know some people are picky but I have a hard time imagining a person who would willingly choose homelessness because they're just that committed to a given area.

> Higher taxes on homes - regardless of the action being taxed, will not get you to where we need to be on housing unless they are paired with subsidies.

I'm proposing higher taxes on houses, not homes. The difference being the former is held as stock to be sold later, and the latter is lived within by it's owner (or someone who has a business relationship with the owner.)

> We already are not building enough of them, we should not be imposing higher costs unless we are prepared to offset it elsewhere.

In what way in your mind is someone under my suggestion spending more money to build a home?

> Vacancy taxes might be part of the solution

That's literally what I've suggested. Taxing homes that are vacant.
Is anyone doing these on cloudflare r2 where the cost is significantly lower?

We're more than happy to have users self-host and deploy in a way that works with their SSO provider! Whether that's via SSO on Nginx or forking and adding SSO to Passport in their fork. Depending on the provider, it's likely very straight-forward to do.

We did explicitly choose MIT for the freedom of end users to deploy and modify the code how they want - and tried to open source pretty much everything that doesn't have a hard 3rd party dependency. We do touch a bit on how we think about the open core model as well in the README, and largely align with Gitlab's stewardship model [1] when it comes to paid vs OSS. In this case, a contribution to add SAML specifically to OSS will likely not be merged. It'd also introduce complexities with maintaining that alongside our cloud version that already includes a specific implementation of SAML.

No, the worms are okay. It's the enemy that storms you with neverending units. This is way harder than the original game.
Simple. It’s not based on the child’s taxes (or future taxes) because then they could go to a California college, claim residency there immediately, and get California prices. Instead, I have to pay an extra $30k or so for them. Further, they haven’t paid any taxes before college, because they were in high school. So again, the fact that each state gives “local” kids a break has nothing to do with the kids taxes. Kids haven’t paid taxes, and kids moving state doesn’t change fees.

What does matter? My taxes, as parent. I pay soooo much taxes and I will continue to do so. As a result my kid is essentially forced to go to a college in state. And he will then FOR SURE move out of state. But I won’t.

So. It’s a cost to me. Like we are considering moving back to CA to get the UC discount. I will pay more in taxes but I’ll get a chunk of it back in tuition break.
No, your self-appellation aside, you are not missing anything unless there is some really secret 'nuance' hidden in the paper.

If the triune brain model was completely false (as stated by the caricature of "brain is not an onion with a tiny reptile"), it would not be straightforward to even identify the neocortex -- how do you know it is 'neo', what is it a 'neo' of and so on?

So the fact that we can meaningfully talk about these areas of the brain suggests that there is in fact continuity and building-upon happening in our evolutionary journey, although of course it's not like the cartoon they show (which I have never seen before from anyone seriously talking about this topic, I might add).
Unfortunately "this round" of games will probably still get shipped with Unity, as you can't just undo multiple years of work on a game over something like this.

So my original assertion was. I was demonstrating how much money is spent on climate research, then compared it with what Equate sells (which was mentioned earlier). The comparison was to demonstrate how much $154 billion was compared to a market leader at a given time. You know, like "how high is space in Eiffel towers."

>There's a lot of money being thrown into climate research. All those researchers like their jobs. We have a massive oversupply of academics and scientists with PhDs. Corporations aren't the only entities with perverse incentives.

>In contrast, climate research would happen with or without climate change happening.

Sure, but when something generates as much media attention and has as much fervor and staying power as climate change does, it gets a whole lot more funding. That's why most of what we hear as the consequence of climate change is absolute worst case scenarios. If people were to lose interest (fear), researchers would lose funding. Getting hit by an asteroid would be more devastating, but I'll bet it doesn't get nearly as much funding, because there isn't as much fervor.

Yep! I worked there from 2007-2012, and at the time we used Photoshop, which on the surface sounds counter-intuitive (being a primarily raster-based program.) We would take screenshots of product (or get screenshots from HI if we weren't allowed access), and would redraw everything in Photoshop at a minimum of 288ppi (4x) using vector shapes and type layers, lots of nested smart objects, and layer effects (back in the iOS <6 days everything had gloss and shadows and reflections.) Content teams pop in retouched photography, photos of employees as avatars, names of employees to go with those avatars, and text to tell a story for that launch. Our 4x vector screens (sometimes well over 2GB PSBs) would then be shared with international teams for translation, and translations would come back to HQ for a final approval. We would also sometimes scale these screens as high as 32x for output to MacWorld / WWDC hero banners which was fun. You better believe we put our names in all these screens (mine appears once in the linked article!)

I think the Ukraine war and Russia's poor showing has proved that in some ways it is far more catastrophic to underestimate your enemies than to overestimate them.
The Fed's mandates are full employment and price stability. The benchmark rate and their ability to buy various flavors of securities (bonds, etc) are the only tools at their disposal. The US economy is at full employment and almost back to the 2% inflation target ("soft landing"). If there was more supply of housing, higher mortgage rates would drive down asset values, but there isn't enough supply (for various; reasons the country has underbuilt for two decades, people tied to their low rate mortgages who won't move now, etc).

If you can coax new supply on the market at sufficient quantity, those transactions at these money rates will drag down comparables via lower price transactions over time. How quickly is a function of new supply velocity.

> aggressive policy (which we do not have now unfortunately) to incentivize people to move into that new zones effectively

This is urban sprawl. It’s what we’ve been doing for decades. It’s a social, environmental and economic disaster.

Low density works for the very rich (can put through the inefficiency) and destitute (who accept the lower standard of living). For the educated or middle income, who won’t accept a lower standard of living at higher cost, it’s a road to increased emissions, shorter lives and less choice on everything.
It is possible and voters do support it. Nobody has lost an election for being a YIMBY yet. But the trick is that it has to be done by legislation at non-local levels, because voters only try to restrict competition at local levels.

> because you cannot make housing affordable without lowering the value of your voters homes.

That would be deflation, but we can still have disinflation. If housing prices stop increasing, then they'll increase by less than wage growth, making them more affordable.

Also, voters may realize that increasing the value of their homes doesn't make them richer if it also increases the price of other homes they want/need to move to.

> I have a feeling it's much more the second than the first there. I know some people are picky but I have a hard time imagining a person who would willingly choose homelessness because they're just that committed to a given area.

People need and want to live in a place where it is affordable for them to live. That includes the costs of provisioning services and the jobs available to them.

People will obviously pick homelessness in the city (where they can access services) over literally not being able to have food in the places lots of these houses are (because you need a car to access services and services are sparse/nonexistent).

> The difference being the former is held as stock to be sold later, and the latter is lived within by it's owner (or someone who has a business relationship with the owner.)

When a house is constructed or sold it is definitionally being held to be sold later, so your suggestion would just impose costs on new construction.

> That's literally what I've suggested. Taxing homes that are vacant.

Right, and this was the part where I was agreeing with you.

But vacancy taxes have been shown to be insufficient at increasing the number of people housed.
> 1) What does "sophisticated" mean in this context? What is a "sophisticated" rule, or a "sophisticated norm"?

The rules and norms are complex and encompass a wider and deeper range of behaviors.

> 2) If anything, "a [..] set of shared rules and norms" sounds like an environment which tries to enforce a strict template for how to behave and act and do. If that's really the case then it to me would be a terrible place to be.

Anti-social people don’t like it, to be sure. But it facilitates high trust societies that have lower social transaction costs. Paradoxically, it enables societies that have less formal policing and rule enforcement, because of the high level of informal policing and rule enforcement.
Zoning only defines what type of buildings you can make. Building codes set the requirements for how they are constructed. Removing zoning does not require weakening building codes.
I think the critique is deeper that that. The duties and activities of central planners and capitalists are very similar. They set priorities, decide on production processes, allocate labour, set budgets, quotas. They decide compensation and "punishments" for those deemed to have failed. Downthread, Eru links to the famous "The Theory of the Firm" where Coase analogizes capitalist firms as islands of central planning in a sea of competition. Coase is very explicit about tradeoffs to scale between planned internal production, and market production, and this is similar to the tradeoffs in scale described by Haldane here. Coase published that in 1937 but Haldane clearly sees the parallel in 1926.

Haldane's _point_ is that it would take a talented brute like Ford to try to run even a tiny entity like Andorra in a centrally-planned way. It's not like the revolutionary Leninists had any hesitation to arrest workers showing "counter-revolutionary" tendencies like striking to demanding better pay. I don't think it coincidental that this article coincides with the rise of Stalin. Haldane was a wooly-headed romantic Socialist at heart, but he recognized that Leninist dictatorship couldn't work at a national scale, even in theory.

It is basically why i have KolourPaint installed on Linux and ready on a launch button despite having a bunch of other 2D image editing apps: it starts (almost[0]) instantly and is perfectly fine for cropping images, adding annotations, etc and then pasting it to imgur, discord, or whatever. The only thing missing is having a tool to draw shapes like arrows (not something the Win9x era MS Paint, which is what KolourPaint replicates, had, but it would be a useful feature IMO).
