i don't think you're listening to what i'm saying, i feel like we're talking past each other at this point.

i know how discretionary zoning works. it's a huge problem in SF. but other housing markets are underbuilt in places where discretionary zoning isn't a problem.

my point is that we'll continue to underbuild to a much worse degree in a high interest inflationary environment. it's a compounding problem that gets worse over time. i'll be dead by the time we have enough housing if we wait for private developers to solve this problem. there needs to be zoning reform + government intervention in my opinion, since clearly the status quo isn't working. (i define the status quo as the current zoning regulations + the profit driven mode of building, both of those contribute to this problem)

my argument is simple: profitable opportunities will become more rare in the current macro environment, thus causing even less building and making the lack of housing problem worse. so there needs to be another solution, like government subsidizing private developers or something, idk, there are a ton of ideas but i'm not trying to argue about it on hacker news.
Me too. I wonder who the third is.
What I don't get is why apps are still blurry on 4K screens last I tried it on Ubuntu, with 200% fractional scaling. If they're non-blurry on 1080p, shouldn't it be a perfectly linear 1:1 upscale?

Both were actually taken over by French nobility in the XVIII century; it just so happened that the owners of Sardegna ended up conquering the whole of Italy 100 years later, and rebranded themselves Italian.
I wrote firmware on paper for years while drinking wine in a bar. I wrote some of my best code and fixed some of my hardest bugs while doing that. You can tear paper, tape it together. It can get filthy. You can use all kinds of pens. It is cheap and you can create any size overview you want. And you can look important and get asked questions. You can ruminate on problems for longer time such that you are 99% sure it will work.
It's a good presentation of design style. Personally I'm not a huge fan of their serif font's sharp edges, but the absence of a paywall is good enough to overlook that. (If anyone says "You should be willing to pay for good journalism" - I wouldn't mind paying if my student budget allowed it.)

This is simply not how transformer models work. Perhaps overly simplified, it maps an input string to an output string by pushing it through a neural network. But enabling it to access databases, APIs and to write and execute programs on accellerators would indeed significantly increase its capabilities.

I mostly like Waze and use it a lot. But its inability to determine which way to turn when exiting a parking lot at the start of a trip is consistent and baffling. Often as not it'll show the wrong direction, followed by a literal U-turn or more complex sequence amounting to the same thing. I resort to using the compass and/or taking the extra time to zoom out on the map and see if it's sane.

> From what I understand, it is important (in CBS mode) that the combination of key + IV + first block of plaintext is unique.

> So, if key and IV are constant, but data is unique it is still secure. For example, social security number is unique and nine digits, which means it fits into 128-bit block. Using constant IV to encrypt SSN should be secure, right?

I think you meant CBC mode? Yes, IV + Key + first block = unique ciphertex. But if you made IV constant, then anyone with the same first block as someone else would result in the same ciphertext first block because all three inputs are now the same.

SSN is unique(ish?) but the range is absolutely small. Do you allow your users to input their own data? If that's the case, then they can create a whole bunch of accounts that enumerates some range of SSNs and look for anyone with the same ciphertext for that field.

The problem is that a large number of popular libraries has converted to async, 95+% of them to Tokio.

There's a few links in sibling comments. But basically they are collecting some identifying data to try to optimize load times, but if they don't get that data they just reject the request instead of allowing for longer load times. Archive promises that they throw away that data and aren't tracking users but I mean why rely on trust? And as others point out, there are weird aspects of the code too so even if you trust what about mistakes? And btw, it isn't just cloudflare that's affected.

I think Godot catching up to Unity is pretty likely within the next 2-3 years. Unity is a mess of tech debt, mismanaged, and has just burned all their good will. Godot should be able to improve much faster due to the lack of tech debt, and a lot of indie devs are motivated to help.

I agree that catching up to Unreal is not going to happen any time soon; they're way further ahead on rendering features, and constantly improving.

My interpretation of the parent comment was that citizenship should not be restricted by the circumstances of birth.

Countries would still be governed by those who live within their borders, but you wouldn't be discriminated against based on your place of birth, e.g., you could move around freely.

Or, maybe more practically, greatly ease the requirements of immigrating and becoming a citizen of countries.
IBM uses Fedora CoreOS / Red Hat CoreOS as the underlying OS for OKD / OpenShift, Red Hat's flagship product, so the bones are solid.

Silverblue works well enough. The biggest drawback is that you need a different development workflow, all container-based, and you have to use Flatpaks for installing Desktop software.

The biggest questions I had while using it were, "Why am I doing this?" and "Is this worth the trade-offs?".

At the end of the day all the benefits I got ended up being theoretical. Is it "cool"? Yea, its really cool. But does it actually solve concrete problems I have when developing software.

In the end, I decided it didn't.

I think its a much different story for using Fedora CoreOS a server. There the benefits are much more straightforward: reliable atomic OS updates, cattle-only servers, infrastructure-as-code deployment by default.

I still probably wouldn't use them in production because they are a niche technology stewarded by IBM, but still, the benefits are more clear.

It's call isospin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isospin Its a symmetry. The idea is that you can imagine that there is a magical switch outside the universe that can transform all protons into neutrons and viceversa [1], and if you activate the switch nobody would notice. It's a broken symmetry, so activating the switch will be noticed, but it's a good enough approximation for small nuclei. For example the nuclei in H3 and He3 are very similar. I don't remember any remarks about nuclei with 5 nucleons, but I'm not an expert in that area, so I guess it's known. (It's a nice observation!)

The idea is that isospin can be used to classify nuclei and composite particles and collisions, and you can use isospin to prove that some collisions are imposible or that two collisions have (almost) the same probability.

In my university is one of the last courses of a Physics degree. The calculations of isospin are quite easy, just multiply some 2x2 matrices. Understanding which marices to multiply and how to interpret the result is more difficult. Understanding that this is a good approximation of the universe (for small nuclei) and believing that the profesor explaining it is not a crackpot takes a few years of physics preparation.

[1] It's more complicated, instead of a switch, it's like a dial you can rotate and transform a proton into a 80% proton and 20% neutron or any combination you like. And actually, it's more complicated, there are more restrictions and the transformation must be unitary.

"There is no way the next generation will spend a single day working"
I am not actually in favor of speed governors, but it makes for a bit of an interesting thought experiment: I wonder if it might actually increase throughput in a widespread emergency–many of the worst gridlock situations I see in the NYC area are caused by aggressive drivers who crash and wind up blocking the road, so I could imagine it being the case that, at least in dense areas, restricting speeds could mitigate the stampede effect and keep traffic flowing.
The only thing this would change is not needing to "cargo add smol" which already exists as a smaller runtime if you need it. That wouldn't solve the fact that a large part of the ecosystem would still need the features of Tokio, and would still use them. So you still have interoperability problems, until figuring out how to make runtimes swappable, and that is open-ended work. (and also assumes that smol's particular choices are correct for this, and that everyone maintaining the stdlib agrees that they are, and that the folks on the libs team are willing to step up and start maintaining an entire async runtime, etc etc etc)

I've heard the "marriage for happiness" trope, but who says marriage makes you healthier?

It doesn't take much for someone to sacrifice their health for something – whether it's for a job, leisurely activities, stress eating, or just not caring.

Marriage adds more reasons on top of this. You've found your mate, so less incentive to go to the gym / stay in shape. You've just had a kid, so less time overall to do so, and (especially!) less sleep in general, which causes all sorts of problems.

Can anyone recall a "marriage makes you healthier" trope? Seems like a straw-man to me?

> I think, essentially user-facing syntactic sugar,

One thing to remember is that Rust is a bit weird here; often times, features like this are "sugar" in a sense, but that sugar lets you write safe code, whereas the non-sugar version would force you to write unsafe. This means this kind of thing is a larger win in Rust than it would be in other languages.

"Daily Dash": AI-Penned Daily Journal on Global Issues
This is released today, November 7.

A pre-alpha of a AI-authored journal. Shamelessly inhuman.

I hope you will find it curious. I'll have to let GPT wrangle with the marketing.

"Kick back with the latest edition of Daily Dash, where AI meets journalistic flair to bring you musings on everything from the ethics of AI in healthcare to the nuances of cyber geopolitics. Whether it's pondering AI's role in creative arts or untangling the complex web of climate change adaptation, our AI authors blend data with narrative to offer you a fresh, multidisciplinary perspective. Join our community of readers to enjoy a side of digital intellect with a daily dose of knowledge."

It's not very polished as a side-project, but I'm eager to release for feedback. There will be a release every day, and starting with 8 releases pre-available. I don't have used the new GPT4 Turbo so expect improvements in the context window in the coming weeks.

Thank you

Element's not demanding anything from anyone. I don't understand your point.
Agree on both points. While I don't find async rust hard to use as a library consumer, trying to write a runtime-agnostic library is (IMO) more difficult than it needs to be. I would like to see most of `futures` either be incorporated into the stdlib or used more consistently throughout the various runtimes.

They didn't explicitly or even implicitly state Oracle has any connection to the activity, only that the dude is/was employed by Oracle. That part is presumably true and therefore not actionable.

If, however, Oracle could prove the only reason that info was included was out of "malice", they'd have a case but that's typically an extremely high bar to clear.
