I think the most baffling thing is that in the Bay a school district proposed building housing restricted to its teachers (because a teacher’s salary is already tight before considering Bay area housing costs.)

The residents complained that their kids’ teachers would ruin the character of the area.
Not that I disagree with the direction of your post, but:

> The government should not allow itself to be weaponized against part of the population for the benefit of another.

That is literally the point of the government.
These companies generally do still have money to throw around.
How to Find Fulfilling Work (2013)
Thanks for bringing this up. I was reading the GP open-mouthed, not sure how to process it. No, Americans don't generally let their parents sleep in the street. Maybe that's changing though?
no, but they don't get the answer wrong 20% of the time and give off 100% correctness vibes.
My expectation is that SV will siphon off quite a bit of money, but have little effect on outcomes. I expect it will be part of how some school districts try to deal with staffing shortages without significantly increasing wages—I think we’ll see several different tech-enabled attempts at fixes—but that all will basically fail. I do expect a few model schools will succeed with them, and be used to sell the rest, but it’ll be the usual story of unusually-competent leadership and above-average staff making something work well that does not work when those elements are absent, which is the usual case with school reform success stories.

But, a bunch of systems and a bunch of training seminars and manuals will be sold to a lot of school districts. Folks are gonna make money off this.
I would also love to do this, but the closest we'll probably get for a long time is some VR heist game (Payday 2 had a VR mode that was alright, but it comes with all of Payday's unrealism, which is sort of the wrong kind of unrealism for me). It's in that category of "wait for the Holodeck" things.
it was (althought hired by take2 to make it)

they failed
I asked Dario this on stage last week. He said the shares are owned by the bankruptcy estate and are being sold/disposed of through that mechanism.
Unless you're just a dyed-in-the-wool Elon Musk fan, in which case it's 5D chess.
For anyone else who was also seeing just garbled characters in the title, and since the first few paragraphs of the linked article don't explain what that is:

GF2P8AFFINEQB is one of the AVX-512 CPU instructions that performs an affine transformation (essentially AX+b) on a Galois field - finite number fields used in coding theory and cryptography.

> Co-founder Brian Behlendorf states how the name 'Apache' was chosen: "I suggested the name Apache partly because the web technologies at the time that were launching were being called cyber this or spider that or something on those themes and I was like we need something a little more interesting, a little more romantic, not to be a cultural appropriator or anything like that, I had just seen a documentary about Geronimo and the last days of a Native American tribe called the Apaches, right, who succumbed to the invasion from the West, from the United States, and they were the last tribe to give up their territory and for me that almost romantically represented what I felt we were doing with this web-server project..."

Because you don't understand passkeys. And you probably don't know password managers can store passkeys as well as the OS
I think still not too late for an MD or pilot if that is your passion. Just that ROI may be effected because of total working years remaining.
The culture is manufactured though. It is hard or downright illegal to build traditional American towns or housing styles.

(It also dates back only to the postwar era.)
Federal response used to also be much more in line with this being a housing crisis. They built a quonset hut village that held a couple thousand people in LA after WWII before postwar homebuilding caught up more. That could be done with a pen stroke again today and thousands could be housed tomorrow, but you can imagine the political footballing that would be involved with something like this.
If this were about the younger generations being unable to afford housing, the sentiment would be to stop ordering avocado toast and going to Starbucks all the time. Obviously the problem is much bigger and complex, and maybe something will finally be done to fix this for everyone.
The EU’s new CBAM is a tariff that is based on embodied carbon.

All other tariffs aren’t - they are protectionist measures aimed at increasing domestic employment.
The article (or Intel) do not disclose up to how many cores that new architecture is designed for, and I am certain Intel would say something like "With our P-, E-, LE-cores designed architecture(tm) the core count does matter anymore".

Also the SOC with built-in AI engine. Oh boy, I wonder how long it will take for AI-assisted malware, or botnets to emerge. Exciting times!
> 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.

Even if it's true that a few large businesses own most rentals, that kind of oligopolistic behavior should be undercut by new people entering the market by building more apartments - unless there's a big barrier to entry, like the difficulty in building things when there's restrictive zoning!

> There's no federal zoning laws, so why would everywhere from California to Idaho see the same drastic spikes in home prices?

The incentives that produce NIMBYs - wanting to keep supply low so that housing prices stay high, and not wanting to deal with any of the annoyances of increased density - are the same everywhere.

> 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?

No, but now there are more people who want to live there and they haven't built enough housing to keep up, so the bidding is more intense.
I have no management experience, but I wonder if there's a certain level up the ladder where one person just can't do most/all things well? There are so many problems and teams, even being accountable to a fraction of them would be taxing.

Not saying this to remove accountability, but I know I would personally collapse in that job.
I never thought I'd see fextralife called a gold standard. It's also quite bad... better than "Fandom" though I guess.

For example, Bloodborne has a "Fandom", a fextralife, and an actual high-quality wiki at https://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/
> People don't go around memorizing statistics of how likely someone who is exhibiting one kind of antisocial behavior (being obviously high, defecating in public, etc.) would be to engage in another kind of antisocial behavior (committing physical violence upon another person)

So you're saying people don't do a rational analysis of the risks... but calling it "irrational" is strange? Lots of human behavior is irrational. It doesn't have to be unusual to call it irrational.

Overestimating the risks of one choice and therefore not getting the benefits of it, and incurring the higher risks of alternatives instead (for the elderly, being socially isolated at home or driving with impaired abilities) is the kind of irrationality that people would benefit from correcting, through education and changing social assumptions.
I think you are severely underestimating the complexity of preserving digital data for 200+ years. It’s not trivial, but a family could totally put a box of notebooks and loose papers in a box in a dry/somewhat safe location and pretty much guarantee they will still be usable/viewable in 200+ years without any electricity/file format/solar flare/emp/etc/etc issues to have to consider.

I’m not disagreeing that it’s wonderful to be able to make multiple backups, offsite storage, etc of digital data, I’m just making sure you understand how difficult it is to keep digital data stored long term without significant attention to that desire.

Dropping some markdown in git is not a long-term (using 200 yrs as my example) plan.

I spent years and years working in a newspaper publisher trying to preserve the output digitally and it required serious investment (network storage, auto backup to LTO tapes, and verifying recovery is possible years later). It was and almost always is easier to ship two or three copies of the physical paper to separate storage facilities. I had to remind folks countless times that things like a dvd-r or cd-r have a maximal lifetime where we can trust that the data is retrievable.

Maybe long term storage of personal data will have some future breakthroughs that make it dead simple to trust they can be viewable in 200+ years but today that’s not the case.

I will say that most personal data (sans photos imo) isn’t useful after a few years (maybe 10+) and digital options are great for that. But for stuff we want to keep for centuries, it’s extremely hard and expensive today.
Perplexity has gone downhill a lot since its initial rollout. Anecdotally, from my experience as a non-paying user of the service.
I think 1 and 3 are the same thing, but collusion sounds like it would be much more of a cheat code. Still, if it's not clear which one of those things they meant, then whatever they were implying is totally lost, and it's not a good place to use an analogy.
OpenOffice is a great name, LibreOffice is a pretty bad one. I think <Name>Office is just too bound to the OpenOffice brand at this point.
Maybe you misunderstand how they work?

My GitHub account currently has a 1Password passkey and an Apple passkey. IIRC I added the Apple-generated passkey before 1Password supported them, but both work, and neither prevents me from moving to a different pass* manager in the future.

I personally feel safer that passkeys aren't sync'd across multiple vendors' products.

From my understanding they're basically an extension of FIDO?

You can just use a yubikey unless I'm mistaken?
The relative prosperity gap between the two will certainly close. Europe has an advantage of already having a society with stable governments and populations used to living in a prosperous society for long. But obviously the current gap is just historical. Given enough time it will certainly close, and unlike the US, the EU is less focused on growth and more focused on policies for equality and other QoL metrics, which might hurt the EU in longer term.
100% on the money (pun intended) and also something people forget is how trapped you are if you take a $350k job.

That salary puts you square in the top 3% of wage earners in the country. Finding another comparable job becomes stupid hard so you end up trapped.

Granted if you're an engineer from a top school or have MS/PhD you'll be OK but that's always my fear - getting a good job and then losing it and not being able to take another because of that horrible lifestyle inflation.
I commented elsewhere, but in most cases I think it would be a bad idea to host your queue tables and logic in the same instance that hosts your primary data. This if you spin up another PG instance in the cloud, it could very well end up costing you more than a default cloud-hosted queue service.
I keep hoping to be able to give it a jpg of handwritten text and it'll give me back ASCII text.
The push to switch to dry cutting was a “green” innovation. This is a California problem created by California thinking.
I tell a worker that I expect them to do N amount of work per hour or be fired. They need the money to pay their families for basic life necessities. N is the amount they can do if working at peak efficiency for that hour. I picked that number by design. Wearing a mask is uncomfortable and causes excess sweating which makes them 5% less efficient. If they weak a mask they output 0.95*N and I will thus fire them. They are free to weak a mask and I am not firing them for wearing a mask. Then when they die I blame them for not wearing a mask.
Not necessarily, we have wireless technologies. Stringing cables along poles could well be cheaper, though.
CSAM is not the concern, society-wide surveillance of the spread of specific memetic information is. CSAM is the cover story.

Winnie the Pooh memes are shared verbatim.

Make one and share it and Apple knows who received it and when, and then who received it from them later, all with e2ee turned on and no iMessage.
A password manager can easily implement passkeys just like it implements passwords.

Though last I checked no browser had created an API for extensions to implement the passkey API. KeepassXC's implementation for example has to inject JS into every page to override `window.navigator.credentials` ( https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/pull/178... ). It works but is brittle, so a proper way through extension API would be nice.
Almost all my test queries have been “homer Simpson eating a donut”

It's perfectly possible to solve all society's problems. We simply lack the political will and moral fortitude.

It didn't, OpenOffice hasn't been active for many years. Office365 (and its bundling with Teams) is however a challenge for LibreOffice, the actually active development branch.
Seriously disappointing that someone posting to HN can't be bothered to actually at least read the relevant Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis#Regulation_in_the_US

TL;DR: it's already regulated (by OSHA). Total number of deaths annually by silicosis in the US is low (~15/year). The workers need to file an OSHA complaint if they haven't already.
nice cope
Safety equipment is heavy, and crash standards make cars bigger; “compact” cars are now much heavier and larger than they used to be.
It's just 6P + 8E + 2IO (ultra efficient) cores or less. Looks it's primary targeting laptops.
BART's (the Bay's commuter rail) problem is that post-covid there aren't enough normal people to dilute the deranged ones. I've got a couple friends in SF, so I'll occasionally ride BART into the city for a night out on the town. Problem 1. is that the hours on BART don't really allow for that. Last call is 2 hours after the last train, so either I'm calling it short or crashing on a couch. This heightens number 2: There's not a lot of people using BART like that, so when I'm riding maybe 1 in 5 of my fellow passengers are noticeably up to something strange, whether it be actively smoking bud cannabis on the train (I'm no prude, smoking on the platform or using a pen or something I would find odd but not in a "I can't trust this person because they're clearly willingly to completely ignore the social contract" sort of way), leaving all their clothes save a baseball cap and a hypodermic needle tucked behind their ear on the platform, vandalizing the train car with a sharpie (including scribbling over the cameras, which was my cue to find a different car), or merely reeking due to not having bathed in far too long.

If it was closer to 1 in 100 people on the train displaying unusual behavior, it'd be a far less unnerving experience.
Where do you store where the application-specific KV stores are located? Are you just going to hard-code it so the application cannot be moved or installed elsewhere or on external drives? Where does the OS store its own settings?

There are a lot of problems with software "shotgunning" their junk across the system. This isn't exclusive to the Registry or even a specific OS unfortunately. Just go look at what configuration files are located between applications on Linux for example, it is not consistent at all.
If you're going to put that much information out in public, isn't it somewhat expected that your information could easily be found.
Neither of us have any idea of the side-effects of undefined "frequent", "long-term" use, that's my point, and contrary to what you claimed. No serious harm is apparent from the sparse evidence we do have though.
A scenario I have encountered many times is having someone doing work for me, they don't bring some basic safety gear like earplugs or masks. I have plenty of earplugs and masks though. Buy I can never get them to actually use them. They'd rather hear that jackhammer at full volume apparently?

As a musician, it especially kills me to watch people destroy their ears. These workers are often too young to appreciate good health.
As in, API calls to generate secrets, change permissions, and so on
Are you suggesting KSP2 is quality? It is decidedly the opposite.

KSP1 however ARE and have created decent returns.
Thanks for posting about Apache, now I remember I wanted to look into switching back to OpenOffice from LibreOffice to compare. OpenOffice I'm hoping didn't ditch Java like the folks at LibreOffice did.
That would be a directory called /bob right in the root dir, containing everything relating to tge bob app, including the firewall settings, both the distro defaults and the user layered, the executables, the image resources, the db libraries, the db store... never mind that the firewall is another package that needs those same settings...

No.

Or, if you really do want something so insane, well great news, you have snap and flatpak. If those are not complete enough examples of this shining vision, go ahead and show us how it's done.
Yes, however companies are actively being fined for those. It's just that there is a huge amount of websites and not enough resources to prosecute them all at once.

It took me 3 readings before I realized the salient difference. Guess I'm not awake.

To clarify: the original title compares the original Android Phone to what we (?) want today. The HN title says today's Android (OS?) is bad.

> They require extra software, passwords don’t

Not one that runs on the machine that I'm using the web browser on.

That's not a dealbreaker, I guess, but it is one of the reasons why I consider passkeys to be very inconvenient.

I'm of the opposite opinion of the author. He is excited about passkeys, where I'm dreading them.

I completely agree. Funnily enough, the first published work of economics Glasgow professor of moral philosophy wrote a book about systemic issues. Before that, philosophers from Aristotle to Hume dealt with matters like credit and currency as ethical issues.

The only think I'd have to add is I don't think the thought experiment is merely "too simplistic". It's an evil sophistry designed to make people believe ethical conduct is unattainable.
I agree with what you've said! But also let's not be hyperbolic by equating "pimp" with "trafficking".
No, it didn't.

AI historically has been the entire field of making machines think, or behave as if they think, more like biological models (not even exclusively humans.)

The far-off-end-goal wasn’t even usually what we now call AGI, but “strong AI” (mirroring the human brain on a process level) or “human-level intelligence” (mirroring it on a capability/external behavior level), while the current distant horizons are “AGI” (which is basically human-scope but neutral on level) and “superintelligence” (AGI and beyond human level).
Connections to your community, family, and friends are important. No one wants to go die somewhere far from everyone they know because they can’t afford otherwise. Plus in California you’d have to go remarkably far before apartment prices actually significantly dent. Go way out to lancaster in la county and you still pay high rents, nv and az aren’t too much cheaper now either, so whats left then in the southwest, tijuana?
Depends. That has more to do with how your're scaling application servers.
> A whole operating system (depending on what's in scope) would take hours or even days

I'm sure a full OS can take that long (ex. Windows, probably), but at least NetBSD can build a whole OS from source quite quickly. (Of course, NetBSD makes an effort to optimize that process; their build.sh is really a thing of beauty)
The comment is topical. It relates to a Catholic investment group that is pushing in morally-ambiguous policies to fight child sexual exploitation.
That is true, but companies do know their workers aren't using them.
From personal experience of having done it almost weekly for a long stretch (multiple years), and then quitting cold turkey, it took me a few months to fully land back in reality, but I've since had a successful career as a software developer, with a happy and healthy family life, and that's typical of the people who I knew back them that I've kept in touch with.

Whatever the serotonin generation issues are (and I definitely had them, and that's why I stopped taking it), they seem to recover over time.
501c3's get tax breaks, 501c6' don't. C3's are supposed to be for charitable, religious, and educational organizations, C6's are for chambers of commerce or business leagues, like the ABA which is all the lawyers.
It’s somewhat buried in there but I’ve been using the Ianknot for near on 20 years now. It’s just a regular knot but it’s faster to tie than anything else.

The key detail is to not end up with a granny knot. The way you tie your initial overhand knot needs to match so that it sits correctly and doesn’t come untied.

Yeah, it's really wild how many tradespeople prefer "safety squints" to legitimate eye protection. Nobody that ever lost an eye on a jobsite thought they were going to lose an eye that day, so I'm not sure why "I know that this will be fine" continues to beat out "I'll take 15 seconds to put on eye protection". And yet, jobsites all over the place skip this and many other very basic, extremely obvious safety precaution.

The next time you're driving around and you see someone getting work done on their roof, take note if the roofers are using anchors/ropes/harnesses. IME it's about 50-50.
quartz countertops are popular because they are cheaper than other types of countertops while looking expensive.

1) You're guessing about what's going to happen in the future like it's a complete given that only good things would result from this and enough other states would join in. I would point out that (this doesn't involve speculation) we already know that some companies don't want to compete in locations that have these policies, which isn't ideal for New Yorkers.

2) Your positive speculation might be a little more reasonable were we entering great economic times where companies were rushing to hire anywhere they can. In troubled economic times, companies have a lot more leverage to seek the best deals they can and can exclude locations that are more trouble than they're worth.
