I'm American and I've never felt the appeal of homeownership. In fact for me the opposite has been true. I see it as something I want to avoid. I just don't see any of the upsides that so many people seem to.

It's unfortunate (for me) that owning a home is some key component of the American Dream. I see so many people who prioritize owning a home over everything else and it just doesn't make a ton of sense to me. The more people who see renting for life as a great option, the better our society would be, IMO.

Renting currently has disadvantages too (nothing's perfect), but I think a lot of people would have higher quality of life if they looked beyond home ownership. Think about all the people who claim they wish they didn't have to drive so much and how they wish they could walk more. They could easily do this if they hadn't bought a house in the suburbs! Rent a small apartment and walk wherever you want. It's great!

Another interesting article from the NYT on the topic of renting for life:

> I'll never in my life pay $30 / year for something like this, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a perpetual license for $150 upfront if it were useful to me.

I felt the same way for a long time, but then I realized that I was paying so much to upgrade my “perpetual license” software to the new version every year or 2 that it might as well have been subscription software

I do prefer subscription software that lets me use old versions that were available when my subscription was still active, though. JetBrains is a good example of this.

On the other hand, I now have several old 32-bit x86 Mac programs that I can’t run because the OS moved on. The Windows situation is much better and I have some extremely old engineering tools that still work just fine.
Absolutely.

I knew one company who mined the Twitter firehose for events to sell to news stations and the government who had over 60% of the events identified and surfaced by dedicated employees, and 100% of the AI identified events were vetted by a person before going out.

Still valuable, but it was always telling how those employees were never really acknowledged outside of the company.
FWIW, our uptime is definitely something we are prioritizing.
The US will absolutely default on it's debt eventually.

The debt ceiling debates every year are certainly theater though.

> accelerating rent increases and decreases in service that have come to define every aspect of our economy over the last 4 years. But things are in a bad spiral.

I wonder if this is true? It feels true to me as well, but I keep reading that the actual numbers tell a different story. I believe rents have actually decreased the last few months, for instance. My grim joke is that everything seems to be increasing faster than inflation.
Depends how well they manage to provide the same .NET development experience for game consoles, including AOT toolchains, debugging and profilers.
Toyota sounds like a major victim of scope creep. If you ever find yourself considering building an entire specialist city, stop and think. You're almost certainly out of scope from whatever your main goal is. Even Company Towns, themselves a bad model for both the company and the town, were only bothered with because there was nobody else there.
You said to change docker flags. Anyway your post is irrelevant, the goal is to let know the runtime about how many posix threads should it use.

If you set request / limit to 1 core but you run on 64 cores node , then you runtime will see that which will bring performance down.
At the risk of sounding hyperbolic:

Imagine Iranian agents using these address books to track down naval officers in San Diego from across the border in Tijuana. Having a global address book lowers the barrier for hunting people down and hurting them. This is already happening to off-duty Russian officers mowing the lawn at home.

State of LLM Apps 2023
If T-Mobile isn't allowed to buy Sprint then AT&T and Verizon shouldn't be allowed to buy their spectrum. There are any number of companies that would pay money for a cellular network and spectrum allocation, and those companies might have continued to operate a fourth carrier.

For example, Sprint's assets could have been sold to Google (which already operates an MVNO), or Comcast, Cisco, Amazon, Samsung, etc. These are all companies that could afford to buy it, and doing so would complement their existing business, but they don't already operate a major wireless carrier and so wouldn't reduce competition.

I would have loved to see the performance comparison between Rust and Golang for the desktop app. Historically, GC language based desktops (Java,C#,Electron) are laggy, less performant or consume a large amount of memory compared to the native versions (which were often non-GC languages like C/C++/Objective-C etc.). Pretty much the only reason people power through the native versions, even though they are a pain to code, is due to much snappier performance and smaller memory footprint. I would have guessed Rust would have fallen into the native category and it would have been an interesting comparison.
Literally someone is going to be 'too big to fail' and cause this to happen.

We all know how to catch this falling knife, the problem is that you basically uproot the Rule of Law to do it. After that you are going to have a disgruntled population angry that someone didn't have to play by the rules and we picked up the pieces.

We get some Band-Aid legislation that says 'this will never happen again'. Sometimes it does happen again.
In San Francisco, this would be more than 60% across the city; so seems generally fine?
Tangential: the lead picture in the article linked in this comment immediately came across as AI generated, whereas the one in OP's article did not: I had to go back and look at it again to realise that it too is AI generated. It is quite complex, similar to the human drawn abstract art one might find in an Atlantic or Wired or New Yorker article, the garbled text nearly the only thing giving it away. The article in the comment is from August 2023, so the difference in quality represents only a few months of progress (DALL-E 3?).

Or maybe they're from the same source, and the author just chose different aesthetics for the different articles. Quite nice, in any case.
> Transactions that don't count and aren't useful to anyone until they become a bitcoin transaction,

I have no idea why you're making such an obviously false assertion.

These transactions obviously "count" and are useful to the entities running those 15K Lightning nodes (many on behalf of multiple customers), which can all transact amongst themselves over the network, even without touching the Bitcoin network (or occasionally doing it just to settle balances).

These transactions have almost exactly the same cryptographic and trustless assurances as normal bitcoin transactions, which are far superior assurances than those provided by traditional payment / money transfer technologies.

> No one cares about it because it is terrible technology that doesn't actually solve anyone's problems

I think you are confusing your own ideas and problems with other people's ideas and problems.

Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean that other people don't (or that even you won't in the future, if your circumstances change).
No I absolutely do not see a link between turning parks into fentanyl use zones and cars. I live in a super walkable city with two grocery stores and a million restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Many many people don’t own cars here.

The parks are unusable and the sidewalks are campgrounds for drug addicts. What is the link to cars here?
To wit, the internet has obviated the need for eclectic catalogs of knowledge, ideas, and products like this one. They were limited answers to the problem of discovery, and the internet is an _unlimited_ answer.

Almanacs are gone. Phonebooks barely exist, replaced by searchable maps, with reviews, live estimates of how busy they are, and directions for how to get there customized to where you are this moment and live traffic conditions. Humdrum mailer catalogs full of onesies, novelty dinner plates, custom checks, and other bric-a-brac are seldom seen. The model and scope for an encyclopedia has been upended, greatly expanded, and made free for all mankind.

Need to tie a knot? Here are all of the ones known to exist, sorted by application or any other conceivable way, instantly, at no cost.

Remember six to eight weeks from mailing a form to delivery of goods? Usually reduced to under a week.

Yeah, a cataclysmic change. All of these are obvious observations but it still humbles me to think of how ridiculous a revelation it has been, and it happened suddenly in my lifetime, and I take it all for granted.
> When you have literally a license to create money out of thin air

This is a common but slightly misleading interpretation of fractional reserve banking.

If I lend you 100 bucks and you lend those 100 bucks to someone else, you’ve “created 100 bucks” in a monetary sense. But it’s not coming from thin air, from an accounting perspective it’s just a debt moving from one person to another

I think I can help disambiguate a bit. "is not a strategy" is a bit of a tip of the hat to "hope is not a strategy", the full extrapolation of which means that a plan is not equivalent to strategy and an unexercised strategy is the definition of hope.

An analog is when I was in the military we wore every level of MOP gear once a year to ensure that your gear functioned correctly and that you knew how to wear it. On a second day we would enter building filled with chemical irritant where you must dawn your mask, clear it, breath, and communicate. All of this is part of proving the plan which equivocates to strategy. We've not faced an imminent CBRN threat in decades, but we still do it because we maintain a strategy for dealing with it.

In this case, if you have a plan for how to deal with too much heat or too little power but you don't actively put the systems that transfer the responsibility or get put under stress during these disaster events then you never actually know for certain that they'll work. Therefore, they are not strategies, just plans.

> Understanding ownership transfer and management can be one of the most confusing and complex aspects of Rust. It is crucial to consider the program's execution flow and manage mutable and immutable variables in memory to avoid getting lost in the code. Mastering this, along with working with threads, was one of the most time-consuming tasks for the team.

I want to add that "ownership" isn't new. When working with systems languages without a GC, ownership was always there, you just kept track of it mentally, rust may be the first to make you aware of it by enforcing it at the compiler level, essentially making you aware that you are doing something stupid.

Adopting rust's ownership model was truly "zero cost" coming from a C/C++ background as we were already doing it.

Yet another team that switches to Luau for scripting; they even made their own VS Code extension.

I gave Luau a try recently but the syntax for external type declarations is undocumented and unstable, which made it awkward to test properly, and the available VS Code extensions default to a Roblox environment until you mess with their settings.

So mixed feelings for now, I guess this is why they built their own tooling for it.

The SQL and mapping code is very simple. Getting an ORM to generate queries as efficient as hand written SQL requires substantial ORM study, experimentation, and ongoing tweaks. I've seen too many junior programmers write simplistic code that creates a massive number of database queries because they didn't understand how the ORM works. That rarely happens with handcoded SQL because how the code interacts with the database is transparent.
I agree with you. I want to play Alan Wake 2 on PC and since it is only sold on the Epic Store I will buy it there.

If it was on Steam I would have likely bought it on Steam. But it’s not. So in my case at least, this exclusive is effectively driving me to buy on the Epic Store.

I find it sort of funny that many (not all) complaints about the Epic Store are the same things gamers complained about when Steam was released 20 years ago.
You can’t get to 0 robberies by spending 25 cents * the number of robberies in the US.

Hi I'm the blog author, thanks for the feedback

I'll try and clarify this. I think this is how the sympton presents but I should be clearer.
This is cool science but is it actually likely to be competitive with e-fuel approaches for practical purposes? This suggests in a couple of places it is, in a vague sort of way, but like almost everything I read in this space it seems to be avoiding a straight out comparison with e-fuels.

Like this is a very weak claim:

> For example, when compared to e-fuels, the solar thermochemical pathway bypasses the solar electricity generation, the water electrolysis, and the reverse-water gas shift steps, to directly produce solar syngas of desired composition for FT synthesis, i.e., three steps are replaced by one.

Reducing the number of steps might lead to some amazing efficiency breakthrough, but if you mention the step reduction and then stop, I'm going to assume it doesn't.
Yep, I agree with that last sentence. The only thing on that list that I think has to do with a significant national security threat is the nuclear command and control systems part. And we could have that without the mass surveillance.
If it's AirPods Pro, you probably have the wrong size tips on if they hurt. There's also some third party tips; I use them because they sound a little different but they're also different sizes.

No, that was the time it took me to give up and go home (vs waiting for the bridge to re-open). It wasn't literal circles, but looping in and out of feeder roads, neighborhood streets, etc. Completely silly - nobody with a destination in MD was going to get there, why would Waze take us off the interstate at all?
It may or may not be "awful". It's probably much better than humans trying a similar math without math approach.

But it's a clearly suboptimal approach. Humans and AI alike can do well with bad approaches if they must. But we can find alternative ways and we need not shoehorn AI into being LLMs.
For starters, the supreme court would not do anything until (unless!) someone challenges the treasury ruling, and there would inevitably be some nontrivial time gap between the two sentences in your scenario of "Imagine they decide to interpret it that way. The Supreme Court rules against them." during which they would pay out the funds.

But after a binding ruling is issued, I'd assume there would be personal sanctions, liability and likely criminal charges against any individuals involved in defying that decision.

> Lastly, the contrast in overall build quality is dramatic between the genuine AirPods and their counterfeit counterparts.

That's undoubtedly true, but my anecdotal experience was that a pair of $250(?) AirPods Pro broke after a couple of months, and the $40 Chinese knockoff pair is still going after almost a year. I'm sure that, on average, the Apple ones last longer, but it's so hard for me to shell out another $250 on something that broke so quickly just because it's from a company with a headquarters that looks like a Lifesaver. And at about 1/5th the price, it's a pretty easy decision to replace the ersatz airpods if (when) they should break. Unless Apple comes out with something new and exciting, I'll stick with the fakes.

I'm hoping to build "small but might" type bookshelf speakers - I don't live in a large house and I might move so I don't want to have large/heavy speakers. Using DSP quite some impressive things are possible.

Thanks for the links, I think I've seen (parts of) both videos but now that I have learnt a lot more I think I'll pick up more info.

Btw there have been a few valid criticisms of these speakers, although it's more of a "they aren't really the best in the world" rather than "they're shit" type of critique. I think ASR forums or diyaudio.com might have a few thread(s) on it.
Most banks have had advertisements bordering on scam and malpractice to explain why the SARON adjustable rate is better than locking in a fix rate.

I've literally had to explain to like 5 people the amount of risk they were taking on by holding on to a 0.8% Saron adjustable instead of getting something like 0.9-0.95% fixed rate for 15! years. It's unfortunate that most people simply don't intuitively understand that when interest rates go from 1% to 2% your payments double.

Of course. Amazon Go stores are a good example of this as well. As are all kinds of content filters across the internet. A large percent of "AI" is cheap labor in third world countries sitting in front of a computer and clicking buttons.

I argue that is the same with tech. Most of these companies are full of people who know how to get hired and get promoted, without actually doing anything, or knowing anything. This is even more so with large companies built in the early 2000s.

Obviously these companies run, but it’s all done by maybe 10% of the workforce who actually knows what they are doing.
