I haven't been paying attention for a few months, is there a lot of development happening around SDXL or are people still mostly focused on 1.5?

I feel like Roblox were not using the tools for remote work effectively. It needs to start at the top so I'm not surprised it failed for them.

Each employee at Roblox now has to commute to/from work which means every employee will likely spend at least 5-10 hours a week commuting. For 'commuting' I include the time to wake up earlier, showering, getting food, getting in the car & warming it up, waiting at lights etc... and per month that's ~20 to 40 hours a MONTH per employee 'commuting'. That equals a WORK WEEK of time per month taken from each employee for NOTHING!! It feels wrong morally.

Remote companies STILL have too many Zoom or Teams meetings, Slack Huddles, or whatever tech they use. Many companies opt for the free versions of tools or non-enterprise versions of better collaboration tools which often limits their ability to record virtual meetings and share files more easily. I'm not familiar with what tools Roblox used inside, but I wouldn't be surprised they skimped on paying for the right tools.

This is exactly the correct attitude. There is no royal road to mathematics, it requires a lot of careful thinking to put everything together in your head. When I was studying mathematics seriously, getting through 4 pages of a textbook in an hour was a really good pace, but usually I only managed half or quarter that.

> I think part of the problem is that mathematics is so precise that subsequent understanding is tightly coupled to a comprehension of prerequisites.

100% agreed with this and the rest of your comment. I often see people pick up a research paper, try to read it with very little understanding of the prerequisite concepts it is built upon, try to look these up, which only uncovers prerequisites of the prerequisites they need to understand first, then despair, give up, and blame arcane notation, probably because the alternative is just too humbling to contemplate.

Perhaps my memory of primary school's a bit fuzzy in this regard, but the point I intended to make was that handwriting was an unpleasant but necessary thing I had to do to get through school and was not something I particularly enjoyed for this reason. The English literature exams were always the worst because of all the darn essays I had to write by hand. On the other hand, me and my cohort got free school laptops from the Australian government in Year 9 [0] which were great for note-taking in class and took the pressure off the need to rely on my at-the-time mediocre and slow handwriting. While having some significant restrictions including the blocking of external programs and an Internet filter that blocked Facebook, many of us enjoyed hacking these laptops to make it run games or other programs we were not supposed to run, lol. Also we got to get them unlocked and keep them after graduating high school.

These days I see much greater value in having good handwriting, and as others have said around, handwritten notes actually help with memory recall far greater than a typed note ever will. Typed notes still have their place as they can be searched much more quickly than handwritten notes, but I found that handwritten notes are much better for notetaking important and critical procedures (e.g. on-call incident response) so that they can be remembered better. Always good to have not just 1 notetaking option, for sure.

These are just unsupported assertions unless you can disprove the wide body of research I linked to that demonstrates rates of homelessness and housing affordability are strongly correlated. Many “red” cities and states have higher rates of drug abuse, mental illness, and crime, but less homelessness. Why? Because housing is affordable in those places so people do drugs and have mental illness while sheltered. It’s honestly not that complicated. It seems like you’re trying to obfuscate these documented realities to suit your own narrative.
And latin america, don't forget that.

This comment is literally the point I was trying to make, thank you very much, I couldn't ask for a more typical american answer.

If you want to live in a city, and not pay sky high rent, these are going to be some small issues you will have to work with. I say small, because the alternative is not having housing, or paying half of your salary in rent/mortgage.

> Orms are apis that are one to one with SQL queries.

Lol. No they aren't. Not even close.

> The primary usage of a SQL database is definitely not primary key queries to fetch one row at a time. Not at all not even close.

It is, MySQL did the benchmarks. It may not be what they're designed for or what theorists want them to be used for, but it's how they end up being used in a typical web setting.

> In your where clause "Id = 2" that would be what you're describing. The problem here is SQL obviously supports more complex where clauses. "Id > 2" "Id != 4" both of which will return lists and sets. And all orms should support features related to list filtering.

Perhaps they "should". But in actuality they have more limited support the more complex your queries get; a basic column filter you can probably do, but as soon as you want to select something other than '*' most ORMs break down. And they're like that because the users don't need or care about those use cases.

> Don't understand how memcache lends any weight to your point.

Then maybe you should put a bit more effort into trying to understand rather than piling on the insults and attacks. You might learn something.

> You can cache parsing in things unrelated to key value stores.

It's not about caching, there's no caching involved. The point was to make it easy to fetch a whole row by primary key without having to parse an SQL query, because for typical MySQL use patterns, it was spending more time parsing the queries than actually executing them. So they enabled using a protocol from a key-value store, because the most common queries were using it like a key-value store.

NIMBY applies ten-fold to nuclear.

Back in the day they would have done other stuff with their hands. Throwing spears, making cordage, carving driftwood into maps.

Typing is insanely easy compared to handwriting, which is why I rarely touch a pen even though I probably should.

Handwriting makes any activity into a slow laborious project, to the point where for me it would probably be the hardest part of a lot of things I do, if I were to involve paper. I assume that creates more immersion and prevents doing things on autopilot?

I wonder, if typing was hard, like if we had two keyboards 10ft apart, and the computer required you to switch every 100 keystrokes, and the monitor was only visible from one, or if your phone only let you type while walking, how using that for notes would affect memory?

Not only is it not a viable solution (we as mankind just ain’t gunna voluntarily degrow ever, sorry), but it’s not even necessary.

We have the technology to decarbonize the majority of the economy already. We already put 1% of the worlds gdp into solar and it’s taking over at an incredible rate. Up that to say 5% and we’d make huge innovations on battery scale, storage , synthetic fuels, etc within short years. I believe we could be 70% transitioned in 10 years if we wanted to, and we would have MORE abundant energy than today. No degrowth nessecary.
We won’t do that either of course.

This is an astonishingly low bar, and not progressive dogma at all.

So what, the fact that you don't personally know a rapist is irrelevant. If a woman is sexually harassed or assaulted you can be 99.99% certain she was accosted by a man. If any crime at all is committed, 9 out of 10 times it's perpetrated by a man.

I had to start explaining to my kids at age 3 that they have to be super extra careful around men, and never go alone with a man anywhere. I have to explain that yeah, they can do very bad things to you, and there's almost nothing you can do back.

That seems to have energy density lower than even batteries though.

When you vaporize LN2, you apparently need 0.2MJ/kg of heat. The amount of mechanical energy you extract out of vaporizing that (when heat is provided by the environment) can't exceed the heat required to do so (because condensing the nitrogen back into LN2 is exothermic). Apparently current Li-ion batteries have ~250 Wh/kg = ~0.9MJ/kg energy density, which is significantly higher than the upper bound above.

Am I mistaken somewhere?

> The land will still be owned, just by different people, regardless of how high it is taxed. That means that the government can raise revenue without curtailing economic activity.

And this is a fantasy. Some land is marginal: Taxing it more would reduce the profit anyone could make from it to nothing, leading to empty lots that aren't owned by anyone because the last owners were delinquent on taxes to the point the local government took the land from them and is now trying to auction it off. Look at houses in Detroit being sold for a dollar for an example of this. The city makes no money from those.

> It sounds like a good deal...a dollar for an old decrepit house – but then what? Then you have to pay for all the repairs, renovations, excavation (if needed), property taxes, lawn work.....so you fork out just one whole dollar but you wind up spending no less than six figures getting it in shape. Whether you plan to keep it or sell it is a moot point. You're still out that money.

I think your idea has many flaws, but I am very surprised and happy to see novel approaches here, and it absolutely represents my favorite part of HackerNews.

Probably the reason policing is sub optimal is due to the fact that it is funded by the city, so more prosperous areas can pay more, and recruit the best cops, while the areas with less income often can't pay as well, (or enough to offset the risks).

Compare this to schooling, where it's largely funded through the county, so the county often pays less in the nicer areas, knowing the job is easier.
