Well, Unicode's Han unification process kind of screwed Japan, so that's somewhat understandable.

It makes it hard to use Unicode for historical documents with older variants, documents using more than one CJK language (like talking about Chinese in Japanese), and worst of all, a lot of theoretically-compatible CJK fonts look wrong because they chose Chinese glyphs.

There's many ways Unicode is an improvement over what came before, but they screwed up with Han unification.
And many founders. The only difference to crypto here is that it's not the average retail investor doing pumping and dumping, it's the VCs and founders. Most founders will try to cash out with an acquisition while the hype is strong before the thing crashes and people realize there isn't any value behind it. Just like, you know, an ICO, but regulated.

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about LLMs in general, which I do believe have value, but about the current wave of low quality AI startups in the bubble.

> I am struggling to find the right words to express how wrong your view is to me.

Then surely I have failed to convey it!

In any case, my edited point about "deadweight loss" is perfectly consonant with the parent poster's feeling of guilt, and with what I presume is your feeling of disgust; it is in fact the economic term of art for that at which you intuitively recoil.

(Although you're kind of equating a very, very expensive home, in the overall scheme of things, with the minimum requirements of decency, if you really think that he's exploiting someone's inability to afford housing, but w/e.)

Now let's get into the controversial stuff...

> Housing is a basic human need like food and clothing.

Agreed. But it's also an asset, because someone has to build and maintain it and have exclusive use of (at least parts of) it, and being a basic need doesn't automatically create a right to something (for obvious reasons) so that asset is gonna trade hands voluntarily like any other. Its price will fluctuate, sorry.

Now, NIMBYs using government fiat to drive down housing supply in their market is an annoyingly common failure mode of local democracy, maybe that's all you're upset about.
You should do it anyway. Not because it's easy -- it won't be -- but because it will inspire other people after you to try. People who are facing their own barriers -- sometimes the same barrier you're facing, but sometimes ones that you never even imagined.

HN loves to crap on DEI efforts, but, point-in-fact, not going with the flow (when the flow washes you away from capital, away from opportunity) is almost always an act of defiance and resistance. The endlessly-circulating idea that HR departments are handing things to you because you're 'diverse' is simply one more raindrop on your umbrella. Shake it off.
For a vampire squid.
I don't know of any other consumable where I have to effectively repurchase it every few decades or I lose it.

For instance, looking at buying a typical home in my market, one would have to pay around $2k in taxes and insurance per month. That's 2/3 of my current rent, and doesn't include maintenance. That's after the mortgage is paid off. That's on a $1.5M house. That $1.5M would earn you $82,500/year in risk free interest right now, or $6,875/mo. That's nearly enough to rent an equivalent house even after you've paid the income taxes.
I recently took part A of Dan Grossman's Programming Languages' course, and he focus on Standard ML which is strongly-typed. It was enlightening to learn about, and after completing Part A, I too felt that any language that lacks type safety can't be a serious language.

I recently started using Python again for a side project, and I had forgotten how good of a dev experience Python offers. I wish I could explain better than that though.

Part B of that course is about weakly typed languages like Ruby. Your comment is motivating me to go and finish Part B, because I wish I could articulate better what exactly it is that makes weakly typed languages useful in their own right.

A very standardized, regulated transaction. The title company and the banks do these all day every day. Unless there is something unusual about your situation, all a lawyer is going to do is cost you money.
I went back to hotels years ago; airbnbs here are so expensive and that’s without the 24/7 service, actual breakfast (b&b…), security, daily cleaning etc. They usually have more space, but we usually look for somewhere comfortable to sleep, not a space to hang.

> I took an early risk, don't I deserve to recognize the rewards from that risk?

In your mind, how much of the increase in value of housing is due to “early risk” paying off in a valuable community vs an increase in overall demand without an increase in supply?

When the nation sees the housing supply increase slower than the population, that’s not a risky investment. It’s musical chairs where you pay to win.

Airbnb was fun when they were new and small. It took a few smart people to make money from this and essentially sell their method to others through places like Bigger Pockets.

Now that every blue collar worker is following this method, there are too many renters on Airbnb and they’ve essentially priced themselves out of business.

I know a few people who rented from an owner and sub-leased to long term renters (traveling nurses, tech consultants) and they’re hurting lately because there’s too much competition. They don’t want to lower prices because they are already on the hook for rent to the owner and they don’t want to lower their profit. So it’s this “who blinks first” situation or renters breaking leases because their Airbnb model doesn’t work anymore.

I followed this process for almost a year but had to break lease for unrelated reasons.

What is the standard way of “counting deaths” for a disease that can be co-morbid?

Does the method chosen differ from other countries and diseases?

Strictly speaking, no one does of HIV virus, they die of opportunistic infections made possible by AIDS.

For COVID, the disease can kill you, as well as make it easier for other things to kill you. If you die of a heart attack while COVID positive, on a ventilator, with super low blood O2 readings, did you die of a heart attack, or did you die of COVID? Is there any reason why your death must be limited to a single disease for statistical purposes?

You say that counting COVID deaths this way is dubious, but is it out of line with regular epidemiological practice?

Well I use it almost exclusively as a reader. I genuinely think that’s why I’m happier with it; I don’t know why boox, bigme, et al keep trying to sell these screens as tablet/phone replacements. I just don’t think the panels are ready for that

The main apps I use as a result are Tachiyomi, the included boox neoreader, and kuro reader for vertical scrolling and some formats neoreader struggles with. Because of my vision problems I have things zoomed in and text size pretty large so smaller text is not really an issue.

Do you use the nav ball? I have that setup with the force refresh button and that’s made quite a difference for me. Having that on screen at all times so I can quickly refresh the screen is the biggest help regardless of app or setting.

I am kind of hoping for a firmware update too that could improve things a bit. If you play with adb you can increase and lower the color saturation and I’ve found that increasing the color saturation can improve the image quality. This is great for fixed images like reading where I do forced refreshes regularly because it also worsens image retention noticeably. But on the other hand you can reduce the color saturation which makes things a little less interesting to look at but does appear to improve the ghosting a bit. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/comments/13ue3ip/guide_in... for info on the procedure. Whatever changes you make do not persist through reboot but I still wouldn’t go to crazy especially with pumping the saturation up. Hopefully boox releases a firmware that gives more options on this front. I’m not holding out a ton of hope here though, they don’t seem to release tons of updates for their products unfortunately

No. LLMs are underhyped.

How could real estate not be an investment? Land is scarce. You would have to prevent people from buying it. Not to mention updates, improvements, etc. People would have almost zero incentive to improve their property, and then who is left with the massive repair bills when those people vacate? Real estate by nature is an investment (good or bad).

It still can be a great option in some places. I'm traveling in India, where unlike other parts of Asia, the budget hotels are not great.

Being able to book an Airbnb where people have reviewed the cleanliness and see pictures of the actual room is invaluable. For $30 a night (after fees) I have many nice apartments and small houses with kitchens and living areas to choose from. Higher end hotels with similar standards are either not available or closer to $100.
I think perhaps you should read the paper if you want to have a deeper discussion? An understanding of how the mechanism works should make it clear how the solution enables outbound payments to network nodes, which -- in turn -- creates a for-profit incentive to run access points and network infrastructure.

Self-provisioning networks are indeed more strongly resistant to "centralization" than those which are deployed by outside parties. The alternative in the blockchain space is a reliance on outside parties and business models like Infura to provide access nodes and APIs. Unfortunately, any external business model capable of monetizing such infrastructure requires closure around data-and-money-flows, which creates key points where cartelization and monopolization emerges.

Looking at the links you've provided, afaict you seem mostly concerned that the term "sybil-proof" is used to describe a situation in which not using multiple identifies to collude is a dominant strategy instead of an "impossibility according to the laws of physics"? Four points here:

The first is we're dealing with an academic term that is used in a specific context ("no information propagation without self-cloning") and even more specifically in the context of an impossibility proof that has stood for a decade; showing that this impossibility proof is not actually valid is a substantive step forwards and nitpicking terminology is missing the point.

The second is that your definition isn't better. Even networks with trusted third parties cannot prevent sybilling by this definition since it creates a definitional impossibility. While a certificate authority can limit entry, it can never truly know that two distinct identities are not controlled by the same person. All a CA really does is provide a point of closure (monopolization, centralization) which can theoretically identify and tax colluding participants.

The third is that achieving a dominant strategy in which sybilling is disincentivized is a massive step forward. It does not make sense to refer to this as "sybil-resistance" in a field in which mechanisms without this property are considered to have "sybil-resistance".

Finally, and most importantly, one of the consequences of this mechanism that is that all attack vectors that can be carried out using multiple identities are more efficiently carried out with a single identity. So it is not the existence of multiple identities or the collusion between them that is the source of the problem.

Land Value Taxes
Lots of reasons, but mainly that I don't consider null values to be a fault of the language. Even if it were, this doesn't solve that problem.

But now we're in a situation where we still have nulls, but compiler warnings force us to decorate them and treat them the same as before. It obscures the difference between value and reference types. Plus the syntax implies Nullable<T>, which is something everyone should have learned to avoid when all it did was box value types.

The more correct solution would have been to finish the contract system that allowed you to declare a function argument as non-nullable.

Ultimately I think it was the wrong solution to something that wasn't a problem to begin with. Now we have muddied the syntax and the null situation is the same as it always has been.

Most hotels that are mid-tier or better have some rooms or suites with kitchenettes if not full kitchens. Also any of the "extended stay" oriented hotels, many hotels in tourist areas where people are likely to stay for a week or more, will usually have kitchens in at least some of the rooms.
