by definition, the bay area real estate market is a free market. housing is a problem across the entire country because of low supply as a result of underbuilding (among other things). and yes, the underbuilding is even more extreme in places like the bay area due to zoning.

i should have been more specific: capitalism will not solve the problem of housing. it had it's chance to build housing to meet demand during the low interest rate environment and yet it didn't provide. this underbuilding happened in places with both lax zoning and prohibitive discretionary zoning. all the while, rents keep raising in the free market due to low supply. capitalism will not build to meet the needs in a high interest rate / high inflation environment because the payoff won't be worth the risk. there needs to be some government intervention on the scale of the new deal if we want to solve our housing crisis.

can somebody give a good argument why capitalism will solve our housing problems, with an emphasis on how it will work in a high interest rate inflationary environment? i'm genuinely curious to hear an argument for that. and use examples where it addressed problems in an area with both lax zoning and bay area-like zoning, since imo reforming zoning regulations is only one part of the puzzle.
From what I've read (quickly) they are considered commercial interstate carriers so mail fraud laws still apply.

Even if it goes no where legally, them getting an investigative phone call from their AG might be enough to deter future scamming, or maybe even convince voluntarily pay you back.

Either way, good luck! (Btw, have you seen that service where you can mail order cow dung? Just sayin')
I think the play is around intelligent meeting devices. A single device that connects to your internal data and becomes the ultimate meeting sidekick.
Shakespeare didn't speak as the English did in the 1500s. Shakespeare *CAUSED* the entire English-speaking world to change how they talk because he was that influential of a playwright.

So even back then, Shakespeare's mode of English was weird and exotic. No one, at any point of time, ever talked as Shakespeare did aside from entertainers.

In particular, the Iambic Pentameter rhythm of his words would be roughly the same as saying Eminem's "Lose Yourself" was is how people talked in the early 2000s. Erm... no. Eminem is a singer/rapper who makes rhymes and beats. So was Shakespeare. No one talks like how Eminem talks in rap songs.

Shakespeare's words are weird, exotic, and rhythmic. Like a 1500s version of rap (a different rhythm but a rhythm nonetheless). And that's part of the reason why Shakespeare had to make up so many words: because he needed the rhythm to line up just right. (And then English was forever changed, with people using the made-up words from Shakespeare in everyday language. But definitely not the Iambic Pentameter beat because nobody's got time for that).

--------

Did your English teacher ever do the "Da daaaa Da Daaaa Da Daaa Da Daaaa" thing to help guide the rhythm of Shakespeare with you?

When we were covering Shakespeare in my English class, we also covered Robert Burns poems (from the 1700s), to remind people how common people talked centuries ago. In all honesty, today's English is closer to Shakespeare than to Robert Burns... despite Shakespeare being 1500s and Robert Burns being 1700s. Its a testament to how incredibly influential Shakespeare was.

You are not even engaging with my argument, let alone "scrutinize" it :)

To meaningfully engage, you must study the history of education systems, how it evolved, what was the situation of scholars in the past and now. If you study those things a bit more, then my argument may make more sense to you.

Without growth you would need to increase price to continue to pay for workers who want a COLA increase. Increase price and you hemorrhage customers without a growth path. Even if you kept your staff at the same level paying someone the same amount yearly would still lead to decreasing revenue due to the cost of taxes, benefits, etc increasing.

In the long run the only way to run a business is to increase growth or increase cost to consumers. Since the escapist mostly ran off ad revenue (although they did have subscriptions that im guessing helps) unless they increased viewership they likely they weren't hitting the metrics they wanted.

by no means does this means let go of the guy leading the team who is your likely biggest draw -- thats just stupid

Sounds like a great way to sell "hey let's not talk about that whole Wabanaki thing" without having to come right out and say "hey let's not talk about that whole Wabanaki thing." A political tactic as old as the hills: package your unpalatable agenda in something that sounds totally reasonable on its face. I'm not saying that's definitely what happened here, but I am saying that just because they also stopped printing other sections and billed it as something benign doesn't necessarily mean that was the actual motivation.
Goroutines and the Java Loom are just fibers. They're like a super clunky mix of async-like and thread-like features, though sometimes there are reasons to use them. (For example, stackful fibers might enable cleaner interactions with OS facilities or outside library code.) Rust makes it real easy to just use threads if that's what you prefer.
This oversimplifies too much. GPT4 is able to add random large numbers too large to have been in the data set. When it's wrong it tends to be closely wrong e.g. maybe the first 4 digits of division on a large number by a decimal number with many fractional digits are correct. Neither of these examples can be explained by memorization alone, other operational mechanics are being applied to get these outcomes.

Hacker News is the replacement for web rings. It points to various personal web sites and sources of tech-related amusement.

I don't think personal web sites are any harder to find. I think that your expectations have changed since the 1990s. Back then, everything was new, and practically everything on the web was targeted to a narrow set of people. Now there's just more stuff, and you get FOMO looking at any particular one. Sites that seemed "entertainingly random" a quarter-century ago are now merely other people's drivel.

I don't think web rings are going to bring back the period you want. But I think there's way more content than you can possibly consume that is at least as good. HN will link you to dozens of new blogs every day.

They'll be drivel, but they were always drivel. Web rings won't change the fact that you have a lower tolerance for the drivel than you used to.
Note that in general, the Rust project has chosen a time-based, not feature-based, release model. New Rust versions come out every 6 weeks, and new Rust editions have a consistent cadence of every 3 years. There are advantages and disadvantages to debate between time-based and feature-based release models, but Rust pretty clearly has chosen their preference.

I've run into many of the problems mentioned with Apple Feedback and gave up on using them many years ago.

I was a huge opponent of Rust, but finally decided to give it a try in anger once again.

I began writing a large application, and noticed that many of my libraries only offered async versions, and the promise was quite appealing -- not having to worry about threads or concurrency as long as I followed certain rules. What I ended up with was an incredibly slow application because of the limitations of Rust async, and the runtime. All of my I/O got pushed through one thread (with tokio), and that, plus scheduling overhead became my bottleneck. Debugging this was a nightmare in writing my own tracing tools.

20/20 hindsight, I would not write my code to be async, and would just prefer threads. I'm really not sure how / why async took off the way it did.
How to make this problem even worse: make all the banks in the street use the same datacenters, namely either AWS or Azure.
Pennies need converted to BTC first, which means many more transactions, which means that Lightning destroys the planet even faster than BTC. It's simple math.

BTC has been consuming all of the planets energy since at least 2020[1].
This increased transaction rate of Lightning just means that BTC will soon be consuming over twice the total energy produced by humanity, which is unsustainable.

Of course, people who don't understand the scientificness of this all are still defending bitcoin as if we don't already have enough payment apps.

The way I see their comment, and they'll have to forgive me if I'm wrong, is that the "async is bad" posts are generally not great.

a) They often focus on problems that, at least for me (and many others) are not significant. For example, acting like writing "+ Send + Sync + 'static" is causing your hands to seize in pain. Or they ignore that you can "block_on" a future.

b) They're then often interpreted by people who have very little context on async or rust at all. Look at the initial comment of "Async is a wart", it's idiotic. Look at how stupid the comments section is, how people are not talking about literally anything that boats wrote.

c) They make propositions that aren't very helpful. They mostly say "it was a mistake!" or "we don't need multithreading" or "we want TPC".

Contrast with Boats' post, which is far more contextual, far more historical, and proposes actual solutions and future work to be done.

It's quite frustrating to see the same sorts of complaints over and over again, especially when they're often not super great complaints to begin with.

You only have to make that leap if you suppose that machine learning algorithms actually learn and then become capable of creating their own original works, rather than producing mechanical transformations of their inputs.

Which, I don’t think that’s an inherently absurd statement. I mean, at some point humans physically exist, so a sufficiently complex artificial being could exactly replicate our physically processes, and it would be hard (imo) to argue that such a thing isn’t a person.

But I don’t see the non-big-leap option. Either we admit that machines can actually perform creative works which are their own ideas, or we call the thing they do a derivative work, and we admit that we can’t just eyeball the difference between an original work and a derivative work anymore. That there’s something intrinsically special about having a human in the loop.
A classical PC master boot record does not actually have 512 byte for code as it also contains the partition table and a signature, you have 446 bytes for code. Not sure what exactly the BIOS validates, you might be able to get away with an invalid partition table. In general there is not really any limit unless you want to be compatible with something existing, you can define whatever disk layout you like. At worst you will have to load additional sectors yourself because the BIOS has no clue where you put them. I no longer remember what a floppy boot sector looks like, how much room you have there.
A quick Google search shows that there are 2.3 billion people between ages 20-39 years. Even if we make a generous assumption that Shein has 100 million users within that group, that's still around 4% of the total population. So, your thought is not really as "insightful" as you wished it to be.

I am fully in favor of businesses incurring "massive fees and restrictions" for sending text messages.

The problem with C++ is that every feature

- attempts to solve too many problems,

- has significant papercuts that have to be considered,

- has significant runtime cost,

- interacts poorly with other features, or at least leaves significant edge cases open,

- has non-uniform compiler support (although in OSS land only GCC and LLVM matter), and

- creates arcane error messages that are anything but fun to analyze. Especially when templates are involved.

Above everything the fundamental problem that the unsafe parts of C are everywhere, and to master C++ you have to become really proficient at diagnosing problems with them because you will run into them. Only then can you start thinking about fun things like software architecture. Always use a linter/static analyzer.
> residential real estate generally doesn't pay its way

how could that be possible? if residents are a financial drain on a city, then where does it get its income? tourism? industry operated by non-residents?

if true, then by not building residences all you're doing is pushing the costs onto the neighboring towns. but that's obviously not sustainable, because eventually those towns would go bankrupt, or they'd also "wise up" and push residents out from their own town, and you'd have some geographically-expanding bubble of financially-sound towns with 0 residents. i don't buy it.
The M3 Pro has been restricted to prevent it from competing with the Max on CPU performance. Whereas the M2 Pro and M2 Max were essential identical on CPU performance (with the exception of the 10-core M2 Pro which was only standard on the low-end 14" model).

To me that feels like neutering.

Doesn't mean it's a bad chip/machine but clearly the product marketing people made the call here.

All of the above. Space/Power/Staff is just more expensive there. We also had a lot of trouble because a couple of our Dell servers had issues and it took some time to figure out how to get them repaired. There was just a lack of urgency there too.

Async handles thread contexts better. Maybe I'm out of the loop but implicit blocking patterns haven't taken over gui programming just yet.
IO shouldn't be going to one thread, as far as I know. Blocking IO would go to a threadpool.

But you can just `block_on` your futures if you want and not think about it at all.
Nice.

I have trained models on performing additions on numbers with fixed number of digits, just to prove to a friend that a neural network can learn to do addition, I hide in the dataset many combinations of numbers but the model was still able to sum them correctly, therefore it learned to perform addition on numbers with fixed number of digits. So no it's not memorizing, it's something that I have tested myself.
Yes, this is a major difference. But at this point, let's be honest - why has most stuff converged on Tokio? IMO it's not for reasons wholly of merit - it additionally won a popularity contest as one of the first movers. Why the popularity contest? Because people want an async executor, but they just want it to work. These people largely don't care about the benefits between different executors.

I think they'd like the choice to use a different one, but they'd rather just having something available with async traits that trend toward opinionated. The executor issue is a huge problem, because the ideology of "zero opinion" on executor coupled with "ease of adoption" are completely at odds. I don't think the current trajectory will ever resolve nicely.

lol love a good out of context data visualization, those are great sources.

but really, that's some data worth examining, thanks for sharing! i didn't say that building housing won't solve the problem, that's literally a universal truth for housing advocates. i'm suggesting that the government needs to intervene, especially since private developers have underbuilt during the best low interest rate opportunity of our lifetimes. i'm skeptical that trickle down economics will work for housing, especially in a high interest rate inflationary environment where it's too expensive to build profitably.

basically, we need government to help add supply since private developers dropped the ball during the amazing opportunity of a decade+ of low interest rates.

Take away the guns and the ability to use any real force (ie on duty cops are held to the same standard of assault as everyone else) The police department as a whole needs that ability but reserve it for a small exclusive units that can only get called in to deal with matters that require rapid deesclation by force.

When 99/100 of best cops are glorified meter maids, social workers, and civil servants you'll see the machismo disappear overnight.
Many of the most popular escapist video games coming out are intensely political. Call of Duty, for example, is absolutely saturated in American politics. Final Fantasy 16's main plot is filled with political themes like slavery. Final Fantasy 7 (with one remake already out and another coming soon) is filled with political themes like ecoterrorism from top to bottom. The number of games with gender politics, race politics or war politics front and center in the text is limitless.

You can escape from politics in something like FIFA or Madden, I suppose, as long as you're willing to ignore the politics of the team ownership/management and how players are treated. And of course something like Tetris isn't intrinsically political, as long as you ignore the origins of the game itself (which is totally reasonable in a 'separate the art from the artist' fashion).

In practice with many games whether they seem 'political' to you or not depends on whether the game's politics are legible, and depending on our upbringing and education we may or may not be able to recognize a given political theme in a given game. It feels naive to act as if x% of games are Political and y% of games are Not Political and thus coverage should entirely avoid politics. Typically when you see political themes brought up in games coverage, it is usually in regards to games that have political themes beneath the surface, if not directly out in the open in the text of the game itself.

I totally understand the desire to escape from politics, and a good way to do that is to avoid reading coverage that focuses on the politics and to avoid playing games that engage too deeply with political themes. It just feels deeply misguided to me when I see people criticizing games journalists for 'bringing politics into it' when usually the games they're covering are already deeply political. It's fine to want to ignore that as a player but they are rarely bringing something in that isn't there.

A great example of this would be the Yakuza/Judgment series of games. They are filled with social commentary and themes that are most legible to someone who grew up in Japan, and if you read coverage of them from journalists with that context it can seem very political. To me as an American, I lack most of that cultural context so it's very easy to treat them as apolitical fun romps where gangsters fight against corrupt politicians or dirty cops. But even so, corrupt politicians and dirty cops are a problem here in my country too, right? To call these works apolitical from any perspective is perhaps trying a little too hard.
