I wish this was open source and would accept pull requests. So many "wrong" examples in the genres I listen to.

But I guess it would end in endless edit wars. It took over 10 years to get some genres fixed on Discogs, people are unfortunately very stubborn about these things. Even with the artists saying their music is style X the mods wouldn't budge.

As in "this 748 square foot property was deemed 'affordable' when priced at $610k" - the implication being that it's a low bar to call something affordable, not that it's a low bar to _actually be_ affordable.

Always felt like there was something I would enjoy in the EDM genre, but I haven't really found the right thing. But I recently got way into Lotus, a sort of combination of jam band / rock / electronic genres. Their stuff is fantastic, I need to spend some time digging through their influences and see if I stumble on some more electronic stuff that I like.
Yeah kind of. It's just a bit confusing to read about presented as an entirely different/novel thing when it's pretty much my mental model of git and how I use it anyway.

If PR2 is done before PR1 is merged I tend to put it up as a draft with the target branch set to that of PR1, and say it depends on PR1. Then the diff shown is only PR1..PR2 anyway.

AIUI what I don't get doing that is the ability to potentially merge PR2 before PR1? But then it depended on it for some reason anyway, so..? (And I gain the ability to still have multiple commits in a PR / reviewed 'thing'.)

I remember reading something from a UCLA military science guy who approached it another way and independently came to the same conclusion. I forget the name. He also did propaganda and disinformation studies. Can't seem to find him. Maybe it's like UCL and I'm misremembering something foundational.
The point is, currently if you build things then you pay higher tax. The current tax structure disincentivizes building things. We don't know what people would build without that disincentive - maybe still nothing, as you are suggesting.
Such as? Isn't the ADU going to be more affordable than the non-ADU home by definition (unless the ADU is actually larger than the house that was there first)?
It reminds me of the Talmud [1], particularly the oral Torah, with the commentaries attached.

On the inside (in purple in the image) we have the actual writing down of the Mishnah, a record of part of the oral Torah. Immediately underneath that is the Gemara, a key commentary/interpretation written around 200 AD. Surrounding that are the commentaries of rabbis who lived in the Middle Ages. And at the very edge in small print, there are commentaries from modern (1600s - 1800s) rabbis.

I fail to define what is "fun".
I fail also to determine the limit of what is an emotion and what isn't.
Emotion must have an effect on my brain, and maybe cause some behavior.

Joy and sadness are emotions, they do encourage specific and somehow different behaviors.

It seems like "fun" is local, and "joy" global. Also "fun" seems to be more immediate and have a specific (shorter) lifespan.

Fun seems to be linked to a situation.
When the situation ends, fun ends.

You perfectly identify what is fun while the cause of joy can perfectly be unclear or complex.

But does that make "fun" something else, in nature, than joy ?
> There are few games in life, very few pursuits in which you can remove skill or familiarity and be left with an entertaining test of anything. Maybe luck, which is why craps is the social game. But skill or familiarity? I don't think any sort of "game" exists like this that people take seriously.

The aim is to play a game where both skill and luck play roles, similar to real life. Poker is one such game.

Ask HN: How do you complete work faster?
I want to become faster at getting things done. I execute well on
assignments, but I think I'm slower than the average individual.

I believe this is an obstacle to my ability to contribute to society in two ways:

1. Achieving any pursuit takes longer, which limits my cumulative, long term potential.

2. The longer projects run, the more likely I am to lose focus and interest in it. If what takes others 12 hours takes me 18 hours, then I have less energy and effort to expend on a third of the project. I believe this effect compounds with my aforementioned slowness — I can either slap-dash the last 6 hours with my low interest/energy, or take even longer than the extra 6 hours in order to ensure I do it right.

One strategy I employ is to estimate how long a task might take a normal person, then try to beat or meet that time. Outside of scoping unknowns and unknown-unknowns, this works. However, it is exceptionally energy intensive; I may only keep that level of intensity and focus for 3 – 5 hours a day. And, quite honestly, it makes me hate the work.

What do you think about to accelerate the completion of your work? Have you ever read any books or resources on the subject that might help others? Am I cursed with a cognitive retardation and that slows me down? Give it to me straight, doc.

This paper at least [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8490979] argues that GoF research (in particular done in 2015 regarding transplantation of spike proteins into SARS-CoV-1) was instrumental in prediction of the rate of mutation of the spike protein, which factors into models of virulence, reinfection, immunity, whether the spike is a viable target for creation of a vaccine at all, etc. It also therefore informs research spending; the hard data on being able to say "Hey, if this bat virus gene mixes with this human virus we're gonna have a bad time" can inform the kind of virology research we focus on, and the hard data on "We cultured a virus like this years before COVID-19 happened; here's how it behaved in the lab" informs what vaccination and detection approaches might be viable.

I hate to say it (because I agree the risks are significant), but I suspect the need to use this as a tool to model both probable futures and not-yet-understood behaviors of viral mutation may be arguments in favor of continued GoF research, despite the risk. I concur with other commenters that maybe we should be putting this stuff in the wilderness behind service providers that must undergo quarantine procedure before returning to densely-populated areas.

The fact that this is still a difficult problem makes me think we haven’t progressed that far yet with ML and AI.
The fact that cars need to resist getting hit by a loaded dumptruck that got lifted by a tornado, while motorcycles are legal, is one of the great studies of "practical laws without principle". If we 100% cared about freedom, we would let cars be designed in any particular way. If we 100% cared about safety, we wouldn't allow motorcycles on the road (or allow vehicles to be any larger than required for personal transport).

It's just a mishmash of laws that kinda make sense. Most people use cages, so make the cages safe and let the motorcyclists die if they like.
The problem with San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver (BC), and other cities with housing issues is simple, Americans seem to hate apartments, everyone wants houses, so most of the cities are zoned for SFH (Seattle and Vancouver for sure).

If you built 10 floor buildings everywhere, with 2/3 bedroom apartments, even at 1 apartment per floor, housing stops being an issue in 5 years.
However, go to Seattle, San Francisco and Vancouver, out of their downtowns, houses everywhere.

Housing is a solved issue, cities in Asia and Latin America with the same surface area as SF, Seattle and Vancouver fit 3x to 4x more people, but they build up and increase density.

All these housing threads are frustrating because of this, just build buildings.
Yeah, that's a legitimate point of view.

I've seen enough cases where folks have paid to "get around" some problem and it's ended very poorly, often require extensive work that could have been don correctly the first time with some bespoke code instead of many layers of kludges.

> The homeless crisis is better described as a mental health and substance abuse and addiction crisis.

It is not always like that. I met people who are homeless and living in the car, they don't have mental health, substance or addiction problem. They are homeless because they couldn't afford the housing cost (including apartments).

The homeless crisis is a direct result of the housing rising costs. Los Angeles and San Diego in Southern California have increasing homeless population due to housing cost. I remember 12 years ago, LA downtown have a smaller homeless popultion and they are usually out of the way. I visited my friend this year who lives in LA and homeless people are in every block of downtown which is barely a thing 12 years ago. This is the result of the housing cost crisis.

You might be wondering why the homeless couldn't move to somewhere else? The thing is they can't because metropolis cities have a better social services they can provide for homeless populations and larger access to facilities within a block than a suburban or rural cities. Majority of them don't have access to transportation that they can afford.

30 years ago, the homeless are a result of mental health, substance abuse and addiction crisis. Now, that changes because of other factors such as rising housing costs which is a bigger factor.
This is why individuals being able to ask "cui bono?" is sorely needed in a democracy, unfortunately the population votes largely based on tribalism and sentiment. Proposition 13 was passed under the guise of not pricing grandma out of the house she grew old in while largely benefiting corporate interests. I'm sure whenever such legislation is introduced there's a massive asymmetry of information since big money that stands to make big money can spend big money on drowning out dissenting opinions.
I know you're just joking, but I would love if Apple actually did something like that as a small run thing. I'd even accept some horrible DRM and lock down. Let me sync like 1000 songs or something onto it from Apple Music. It's stupid but I would buy that purely because it'd make me smile using it.
Isn't that letting the perfect be the enemy of the good?
Curated GitHub Universe agenda: AI, ethics, and productivity
To first approximation, we are. Essentially all mobile networks are IPv6 now. Many wired client drops are IPv4 NAT behind an IPv6 pipe. Most datacenter-internal communication is IPv6, at least at the big players.

The only regime that is still "IPv4-by-default" is public facing servers, which (obviously) still need to present the old addresses for compatibility.

But that last 5% will still be around until we all die. There are just too many client devices out there that will never get an IPv6 update, and client devices tend to live much, much longer than you (or their designers!) think they should.

What's amazing to me is the explicit positive references to actual Fascist and/or "Dark Enlightenment" thinkers (Marinetti, Nick Land) as "Patron Saints."

Either Andreesen actually has no idea what he's referring to and is just pretentious name-dropping stuff he thinks is "kinda cool", or he's explicitly endorsing anti-democratic authoritarianism. Either alternative is rather disturbing -- though maybe not surprising.

In any case, it kinda explains some of the dreck they've funded.
People tend to create content on their own devices. See bloggers, forums, chat rooms. The internet was abundant with natural information from experts due to people sharing what they naturally love.
I assume they are referring specifically to a monotonic integer sequence. This will compress and index very nicely (low entropy) whereas v4 UUIDs are random and will not (high entropy). This is the same principle that explains why gzip works well on text but not photos.
Very true, but that Audi with a horse trailer will get along just fine with other traffic at speeds <= 80km/h which are mandatory for that configuration on much of the continent.

The one with the most is MonoGame. So many indie games made with MonoGame. Close second is Godot (and climbing fast). A few have used Ogre3D (torchlight series) and have used libGDX (pixel dungeon) or lwjgl (Minecraft).

If you are wondering what modern open source engine to use, Godot seems to be it. If you are wondering if any FOSS engines ship games, the answer is an overwhelming yes. If you are wondering how to write an engine, any of these OSS engines will teach you what you need to know (or at least get you going).
> and re-generating until the magic box outputs something roughly close to what they want

That is a form of a creative human effort. Not that different from a photographer who shoots a couple dozen photos on the go, and later selects one or few they like best, to publish without further retouching.

It's gonna be more blurry when someone loops SD derivative with GPT-4V derivative, to have the latter rate the output of the former, and the loop running until the rating model deems the picture good enough.
But he can. He is clearly attempting to poison someone.
It's prosecutorial discretion. Generally speaking, they want to charge things that are a combination of big and easy-to-prove.

There's nothing beyond convention that would stop them from _also_ charging for creating companies under fictious names, for adding a wire fraud count for every e-mail he sent as one of the people, for not including their real address on any marketing e-mails they sent, etc etc.

It is not circular. Such a Turing machine clearly exists.

Any environmentalism worth its weight in words is consciously humanist, with the recognition that human life is not possible without nonhuman life. That is to say, humanist without the ideological blinders Andreessen wears.

For humanism (for that matter, humankind) to remain viable in the long term it must outgrow adolescent notions of human self-sufficiency and supremacy

What worries me most is that this guy is supposed to be the inspirational leader of many startup founders and technologists, in Silicon Valley and elsewhere.

Reading this made me really sad.

It's actually hard for me to conjure the strength to write and share an appropriate response, and explain why.

Let me just mention one of many thoughts. Mark Andreessen cites a number of Patron Saints of Techno-Optimism, "In lieu of detailed endnotes and citations, read the work of these people, and you too will become a Techno-Optimist."

One of them is Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

This is what FTM writes in his Manifesto of Futurism [0]. (original Italian first, then English translation).

""Noi vogliamo glorificare la guerra - sola igiene del mondo - il militarismo, il patriottismo, il gesto distruttore dei liberatori, le belle idee per cui si muore e il disprezzo della donna."

"We will glorify war - the only true hygiene of the world - militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of anarchist, the beautiful ideas which kill, and the scorn of woman"

In 2023, reading about the "glory of war", and the "scorn of woman", should be enough to know what's needed to judge this guy.

Mark, you are really smart and successful and most people would envy your fame and wealth and intelligence, but you need to grow up for once and realize how sick some of your ideas are.

Everyone in this thread seems awfully convinced. There is as of yet no proof that's the case. Nor that GoF created the strain. Both are just conjecture. Seems pretty foolish to end valuable research to appease people who fear things they don't understand.
