I'm not particularly shocked dedicated player sales are down given how ubiquitous DVD players are in basically everything (laptops, desktops and game consoles) and how long they last. Also that doesn't really answer how that trend was spooling out to the mail order rental business over the recent past, people have been using streaming a lot for ages but the business still made sense to keep going before so what in the near term finally made the lines cross?

> Top minds in London and Brussels negotiating the deal agreed to "rules of origin" dictating that a 10 percent tariff would apply to any vehicle that was less than 45 percent made in either the EU or across the Channel.

> This overconfidence has failed to materialize, however, with carmakers finding themselves still hopelessly reliant on components from China and elsewhere to meet demand.

So the goal was to allow free trade between EU and UK on vehicles manufactured by either, but EU manufacturers are still sourcing too large a share of components from outside the EU so their vehicles don't fit the tariff exemption.
Demand more pay and keep looking after rehire.

If they want to make shortsighted decisions to hit quarterly goals, they should be reminded of the high price of short term thinking.
My prediction on this is eventually the LLMs will just write and execute scripts directly to control things.

Imagine if iOS had something like apple script and all apps exposed and documented endpoints. LLMs would be able to trivially solve problems that the best voice assistants today cannot handle.

Then again none of the current assistants can handle all that much. "Send Alex P a meeting invite tomorrow for a playdate at the Zoo, he's from out of town so include the Zoo's full address in the invite".

"Find the next mutual free slot on the team's calendar and send out an invite for a zoom meeting at that time".

These are all things that voice assistants should have been doing a decade ago, but I presume they'd have required too much one off investment.

Give an LLM proper API access and train it on some example code, and these problems are easy for it to solve. Heck I bet if you do enough specialized training you could get one of the tiny simple LLMs to do it.

Nice growth hack for mailmodo... a wrapper around ChatGPT API with prompt "write 5 email subject lines about <user-input-here>". It worked, but I'll just ask ChatGPT this myself directly.
America is not Singapore. We have higher expectations around the amount of space than pretty much the whole rest of the world. And that's okay: we are also the world's wealthiest country.

I agree though, that the current housing crisis is entirely the work of people who own influencing city governments much much more than renters (who have no choice but to move out of expensive locales).
I still haven't seen a non-handwavy method for orchestrating a transaction across microservices. That means I still can't use them. Although I don't think I ever wanted to particularly.
Adding 322 mb of data to the registry isn't going to be healthy for windows either.

Registry hives expand but don't contract again. The registry is effectively held entirely in RAM. You are therefore effectively wasting 322 mb of RAM even when KSP isn't running.
And a new one in the series comes out tomorrow, advancing the plot to sometime in the 1700’s.

My assumption is that he probably just made assumptions about the format. Stuff like "my strings won't be represented by hexadecimal escape sequences" and "my json file will be split up line by line".

It's really convenient when you can get away with stuff like that, and even if it's not a "proper" solution, at the end of the day it really doesn't always have to be.

Tools, language and performance are great.

Except KSP was cheap (I got it for $9 IIRC, which was good value) when still in beta. KSP2 is $50 for the same level of beta, after years of development and drama. Don't chill, don't buy this crap until it gets better.

In 2010, I had a $600/month rental with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, in apartment washing machine/dryer and a fairly large walk-in closet.

With 13 years of inflation, that'd be $850/month. That apartment now goes for over $1200/month (Almost certainly hasn't been renovated). [1]

The issue is oligopolies. Few large businesses that own the majority of available rentals and thus can set prices to whatever they like to rake in the profits.

And the way you can tell it's not government policy driving up prices is this trend has been seen across states. There's no federal zoning laws, so why would everywhere from California to Idaho see the same drastic spikes in home prices? Why are existing units that have existed since at least 2010 (and I believe back to 2005) commanding $400 premiums over what inflation would dictate? Do you think back in 2010 they were losing money renting to me?

It is notable considering that there are plenty of excellent researchers who don’t believe that AGI is imminent. OpenAI is also openly transhumanist based on comments from Sam, Ilya, and others. Again, many excellent researchers don’t hold transhumanist beliefs.
I similarly show up at local community meetings where I'm a stakeholder in order to strongly urge YIMBY policies and weigh towards walkable/pedestrian friendly communities, volunteer and financially contribute to non profits mitigating homelessness [1] to try to understand what doesn't scale to figure out how to scale it, etc. I get it, it's exhausting, but that is the schelp, constant vigilance to continually apply pressure in the right direction while sucking more young people into the effort so they can keep on applying effort after we're tired and/or gone.

I'm also way past the point where I will tolerate someone saying, "I feel ..." in these discussions. Here is the data, own your own feelings, we're moving on. Appreciate your efforts where you are with what you have. We just need more of us.

It's not entirely that it's illegal to build cheaper stuff, it's also that there is no incentive when zoning artificially limits the amount of the market you can serve.

Zoning laws like single family zoning, requiring parking spots for every unit or even every bedroom, disallowing zero lot lines on lots that allow multiple units. All of these things add cost that may not pass along any value to people in the market.

Aside from the engineering complexities of modern buildings, we've also limited ourselves to building either single family or 200 unit apartments when most cities have a ton of space for 3/4 unit homes which are considerably cheaper to construct. We built our zoning laws on the idea that we could just always expand outward into suburbs forever. But that approach is broken as people start to move back into cities.

None of it is "legally" mandated, i.e. there are no laws specifying what a recording artist should get paid. All of it is a complex series of contracts and rights agreements between various corporate entities that have generally become standardized, in order to eliminate negotiations for every song or every artist. But that doesn't mean these agreements are necessarily fair or equitable to all parties.

There are companies that actually can hire in this fashion, Google was and then perhaps pretended to be such a company.

One could break it up into separate jobs for the different levels but that's also misleading if you are considering 3 PhD experts and 2 mid-level or 7 juniors and 3 seniors, etc.

Again when I say consciousness I mean a subjective experience. If you define consciousness to literally just mean models that plan then of course tautologically if you can't reach consciousness you can't get to a certain level of planning.

1. Why do that at all? Describing your program in writing seems better all around.

Are you sure you're not the one who's asking for a cool demo?

3. Rolling out releases gradually is something most tech companies do these days, particularly when they could attract a large audience and consume a lot of resources. There are solid technical reasons for this.

You may not need to roll things out gradually for a small site, but things are different at scale.
I mean, this happened a long long time ago. LibreOffice inherited approximately 100% of developer effort.

The problem is that Apache is effectively lying about OpenOffice still being a thing, and trapping less-savvy users who aren't aware of this context into an office suite frozen in time in 2014.
Oh boy. Just wait for Gen X. It’ll be a retirement crisis. At-same-age savings levels for generations after the boomers start at “catastrophic” for X and are markedly worse for each generation after them.

This’ll hit around the same time as we can no longer pretend our healthcare system isn’t a total disaster (keeps increasing in price faster than the rate of inflation—there exists a point at which it becomes a crisis), and probably not long after it becomes common knowledge that you need private tutors or your kids aren’t gonna get into any but a very low-tier university, if they go to public k-12 schools (we’re easing into that problem now—give it five years, the trend will be clear by then, and beyond obvious in 10, I doubt any of the things that might avert this new state of affairs are gonna happen)

Terribly sorry to harp on what the others in this thread have said but it seems like you've either been negligently briefed (due to the implausible scenarios you're describing and that you're posting this tied to your real identity, their first name on your website - assuming that's more real than the ChatGPT Ph.D. and other random entries there -, and your previous HN submission) or you're being lied to.
How? Define "need" and "replace." If something is not available on a digital service, it's not replacing anything. And if you want something and the only available place is that service, then you "need" that service to watch it.
I know I will get downvotes, but seems like a a symbol of the decline of America. Or rise of China? (It will soon have the only space station)

Then again, maybe it just wasn’t a good idea to have a space station in the first place. But for the cost of sending the materials that far, it seems like it would be worth while to tow the thing into a lunar orbit. There it might be useful. It just cost so much!
You have learning experiences that lots of people will never have. Cofounding and running a startup is no small feat. And you will never make some of the mistakes again, either, particularly when it comes to the demands of cofounders or investors.
Elon's algo is to push hard enough such that consequences are observed, then pull back a little. In twitter's case, moving an entire data center over christmas break was a too fast.
I find it interesting as well that many here seem to miss one of the main aspects of the piece: the violence of men against women. It's not just "an audience" but a very divided audience.

When you watch it back it's predominantly men who grope her body, harass her and laugh despite her visible tears.

I've seen this piece discussed in various places. Sometimes the gendered and sexual element of the violence against the artist is the main thing that is touched upon. In other contexts the women of the audience are actually backgrounded so completely that the reaction of the men is spoken about as if it's the entire audience.

The Guardian had an article today which touched on this for the anniversary: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/sep/25/marina-...

> all housing is both affordable and unaffordable. Schrödinger’s housing.

Ah, more pithy, meaningless slogans.

Surely municipalities and landlords know the median gross incomes of households in the areas they serve. Surely there are bands of income where certain types of housing are classified as "affordable" and then "cost-burden", and the quantity of households which fall into these bands are well-known to those who serve them. Landlords set the market rent based on what the market will bear. HUD sets the allowances according to market rent as well.

Yes, to a homeless bum, all housing is unaffordable. To George Soros, it's all affordable housing. But you need to remember that the definition is proffered by Housing And Urban Development, a US Government agency which does things like subsidize rent and help people purchase homes, so I doubt that the state of feline vitality is entirely unknown to them.
Nobody in this thread said that taking it to dance all night is abuse; dance can be amazingly cathartic.

I've known people who did it nearly daily for long stretches, and others who would only take it once a month and take Prozac after to mitigate and potential damage. I'm not saying that the latter is the only non-abusive way of taking it, but clearly the former would constitute abuse.
They’re already in the shitter with the German government stopping subsidies for companies buying EVs and keeping it only for private persons (70% of VW market are companies)
> I can see this going the route of us having a Disney AI, Sony AI, Discovery AI, Amazon AI, etc.

Exactly. These companies are probably hoping the artists win as many legal battles as they can, since the result will be that only big companies will be able to create useful AI models.
> The authors claim it guarantees exactly-once delivery

I find this definition has morphed from one meaningful to developers into one queue implementations like to claim. I've learned this generally means "multiple inserts will be deduped into only one message in the queue".

The only guarantee this `exactly-once` delivery provides is that I won't have two workers given the exact same job. Which is a nice guarantee, but I still have to decide on my processing behavior and am faced with the classic "at most once or at least once" dilemma around partially failed jobs. If I'm building my system to be idempotent so I can safely retry partially failed messages it doesn't do much for me.
When it comes to tabletop gaming, I strongly prefer handwritten force lists and character sheets. Printed is okay, so long as they can be marked and modified on the fly with a pencil.

Requiring someone to fiddle with a poorly-designed app to record momentary bookkeeping is downright obnoxious and will not stand for it.
EU manufacturers in the EU, or "EU" manufacturers in the UK? I'm finding the direction of some of these rules hard to follow.
A central key-value store that can be programmatically accessed to persist state across users, processes, and boots, that is also strictly typed and hierarchical is quite useful.

I think it would actually be quite useful to have an /etc/conf virtual file system that could be programmatically accessed by user space processes and used as a "dumping ground" just like /etc already is.
Given the declining population predicted by OP, US housing stock will also grow in abundance by the time young people hit retirement age.
FYI, you need to add the api-key config section to the stream.conf file on the parent node in order to enable the api key and allow child nodes to send data to the parent node. I thought it went into the netdata.conf file... I also kinda wonder why it matters what file has what config since the different config sections all have section headings like `[stream]` or `[web]`.

So, the answer to my question is that you can get multiple nodes showing up without a cloud account. Just have to configure it correctly.

It's meaningless in that it doesn't describe a societal division that actually matters. A retail worker making 40k a year is not going to identify with a highly paid software engineer. Their life stresses are worlds apart as is their level of financial security.

You're the one trying to divide and conquer by pushing an abstract, out of touch political ideology that has resulted in the deaths of millions

WoWWiki (now called Wowpedia) is thinking about leaving Fandom too [1], which is interesting when you consider their past.

Back in the day, WoWWiki started as its own thing before it shifted over to Wikia (what we now know as Fandom).

Wikia was even worse than Fandom today. They had this set layout that didn’t work for many of the wikis they brought in. This led some folks from the community to branch out and create Wowpedia, which was on its own again.

Later, Wowpedia joined Curse's Gamepedia, kind of like Wikia but not as in-your-face.

But here’s the twist: in 2018, Fandom/Wikia bought Gamepedia. So, Wowpedia landed back with Fandom. At some point, they decided to archive WoWWiki so there is only Wowpedia now.

----

My personal opinion in general about this topic is that Fandom is a very bad host (Wikia used to be worse, to be fair), but the worst is having two competing wikis.

At least in this Minecraft's case, it looks like the majority of contributors moved together.

The situation of WowWiki/Wowpedia at the time was just sad, a lot of hard work went down the drain.

And speaking of which, isn’t the Terraria Wiki going through something similar right now?

Out of two wikis:

https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Terraria_Wiki
https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Terraria_Wiki

I can't figure out which one’s busier right now. I understand that terraria.wiki.gg now is the "official" one, but if you check out their recent change frequencies, they seem pretty close.

I can’t help thinking there's a lot of duplicated effort here too.

> Didn't Boise, ID have an influx of better-off people from the coasts during the Pandemic?

Yup

> What's better? Some housing being built or none at all?

Loads of housing is getting built but what we've not seen is subsequent drops in housing prices (the opposite in fact). This speaks to problems beyond a housing shortage.

Who knows, maybe in 10 years that will reverse and the market will correct back to pre-pandemic levels. Doesn't look like it, however.

Multi-modal models will be exciting only when each modality supports both analysis and synthesis. What makes LLMs exciting is feedback and recursion and conditional sampling: natural language is a cartesian closed category.

It appears to be true. https://github.com/apache/openoffice/activity
I mostly know about Seattle, but a lot of these are nationwide too:

Parking minimums, minimum unit sizes, long and costly “environmental review” (a classic in Seattle, where it’s sadly almost never used for environmental purpose), lengthy “community design review” (another classic for Seattle, which typically has the effect of allowing only extremely conservative design), zoning restricting how much can be built (Seattle is famous for having the highest percentage of land zoned SFH of any major city).

Seattle rental prices increase over the past 10 years is extremely correlated to the housing deficit (population growth minus housing built). It’s not just a matter of “homes going for $2k/mo”, it’s why they’re going for $2k/mo.
IANAL but I would assume that, since they're moving from "minecraft.fandom.com" to "minecraft.wiki", it should be no more infringing than what they previously had, unless second-level domain names are subject to more scrutiny than third-level domain names. And if that's the case, then I would expect that the infringing party would be their domain name registrar, for being the one to sell them the hypothetically infringing name (which isn't to say that the operators of the server couldn't be subject to trademark claims for other reasons unrelated to the domain name).
