I don’t think it’s unfair to expect that a person making the median income can afford a Single Family detached home.

This is the definition of the American Dream.

The USA has an abundance of space and natural resources. California is a big place. There’s no technical reason homeownership should be out of reach. If you want to live and die in an apartment, that’s great, but it should be a choice.

Thank you yes but isn't this the topic of the article we're commenting on?
Nope. My math was off. You're correct.
I like Obsidian and use it everyday, but I wouldn't consider it the best option for writing something as large and complicated as a book.

Books are huge undertakings that require a lot of data management and formatting specifications. I don't think Obsidian is particularly well suited to this task, based on what I've experienced.

First, Obsidian's .pdf export/formatting features are nearly non-existent. I struggle to print 4 page documents that are enjoyable to read. Formatting their book as a .pdf will get very tedious very quickly if anything other than the most basic, raw, formatting is needed.

While I love typing in Markdown for notes, Obsidian has almost no native features to help you format long form work. Perhaps there are plugins that grant these features, but I'm not aware of them.
Doesnt the space industry average include mostly office work? Hardly seems fair to compare actual physical construction and ops work at a developmental test site to desk jobs.
The opinion is noted? I don't know who this is but presumably 'IntelMiner' is a different person with their own views and rationale for writing.

Safety was something added to Rust as it developed, not one of the original goals. As I recall it.

And you're working with multiple definitions of "safety" here, and Rust sorta conflates them all via borrow checker, but the one people are usually most concerned with is memory safety which is not a concern for a garbage collected language.

I do seem to recall that StandardML did not have exceptions though. And I always felt that SML was the better language.

OCaml adding OO classes and exceptions and other 90s trends that actually have ended up not aging well...
Someone needs to add common LLM injections to the list.
> Do you want the same pronunciation? This is also fairly easy in many languages, but the spelling is likely to differ. An example of this might be Hannah versus Hana (English / Czech).

> Do you want both? For most languages, the list will be extremely short, perhaps half a dozen names such as "Anna".

As a sanity check, I looked up wikipedia's page on Czech phonology, which indicates that the vowel [æ] does not exist in Czech. That by itself will absolutely prevent the English names Hannah /'hænə/ or Anna /'ænə/ from matching any possible Czech pronunciation.

I'm kind of curious how you came up with the examples.

(Ali is a name that will transfer well across many languages.)

> In this scenario, you're effectively going by two differently-pronounced names in all face-to-face interactions, not that different from the folks from China or India who are adopting "Westernized" names abroad.

People can overlook what I consider stupid obvious requirements in this kind of scenario. I knew a Chinese girl who used the English name Cynthia. It's a perfectly respectable English name; the only problem was that she was completely unable to pronounce "Cynthia", making it a challenge for her to communicate her own name to English speakers.

I don't understand why Chinese speakers don't put more [any] emphasis on using names that they are themselves able to pronounce, like Tina or Julie.
Chilly during the day too! If you're a desert-dweller acclimated to 110° summers, 55° on a November afternoon is honestly kinda cold.

Having lived in both SoCal and Vegas, the difference is that Vegas is both hotter in the winter and colder in the summer... whereas a place like San Diego is blissfully mild year-round.
Interesting. Can you compare it to colly? [0]

Last time I looked it was the most popular choice for scraping in Go and I have some projects using it.

Is it similar? Does it have more/less features or is it more suited for a different use case? (Which one?)

Fair enough. In that case if you don't mind having a clunky initial prototype, a raspberry pie is probably your best bet. There's loads you can do with that depending on the architecture you're going for.

Subs have the weakness of being run by humans and shorter amount of time staying on station. A sub commander can always ignore the "Lock Out Changes" command where this thing might not.

Edit: also, how is it half the time? I would assume that the majority of the time is getting to altitude during launch. Once they are on return trajectories, they're moving mighty quick. Descent should be much less of the time involved, right?
Way back in the days, someone on IRC mentioned they'd had a song stuck in their head for days and they just couldn't figure out what the song was. I asked them how it went, and he replied something along the lines of

da da daada da da daada, da da daada da da daaadaa

After thinking about it for a few seconds I wrote the name of the song and the artist[1] and he replied THATS IT!

Not sure how many other songs it would work with but that one was kinda easy to be fair.

I’m not familiar with an builders who are interested in holding properties any longer than necessary.
I’ve been using X the last two months and it’s been quite stable. I don’t see that as a reason to avoid it.
Threads promised ActivityPub support, and the UI is clearly designed with federation in mind, yet it still hasn't arrived. How so?
Have you considered that there are places outside Europe?
You sometimes have to treat adults like little children. The first thing I say is, "you're not in trouble". Kids assume if an adult talks to them, they are automatically in trouble. I've gotten a lot of helpful results by telling people no one is in trouble when you make your inquiry. Amazing how grown adults regress to children when a different department calls them.
Salary/compensation is not actually provided via your credit report to companies who perform a hard inquiry. If you look at your annualcreditreport, that's exactly the data the inquirer receives, and it just has your start date and company.
Primarily used LucidChart but it’s ok. Plantuml has been ok as well.
I don’t think any of it is ethanol. These figures are about electricity generation and it’s like 62% wind out of 63% renewables or something like that.
Humming sounds much better to the hummer than the listener.
Check out the `--shutter` option for `libcamera-vid`, it allows you to tweak the camera's exposure time which might help with the screen refresh banding. `--shutter 60` sets the exposure time to 60ms, which might be a good starting point.

EDIT: Ah, actually the unit is microseconds, so `60000` would be 60ms

They’re just saying that because it sounds better than that the strip looks cooler at night.
55F is cold, period. I’m so sad we’re going into winter, I’ll miss the beautiful 100F days.
Thank you!

I didn't see pay rate or the likely 25hr/week parts mentioned in the ad. Is there a tradition in the industry that prevents listing those kinds of details?
> Which means your digital secret will be in all the same online places where your SSN is now, vulnerable to the same kind of hacking. How does this fix anything?

Loads of ways to do digital attestation but they all involve some 3rd party being the trusted source of truth. Typically this would be the DMV or other government branch and at this point a few red flags start to go off: dmv isn't known for it's competence and I'm not really thrilled about them getting hit to confirm my identity for pornhub.

This is a REALLY hard problem to solve unless you take a "privacy must be sacrificed for the greater good" mentality.
Show HN: TopGPTs.ai – The Largest Directory of GPTs
Hi all, sharing a directory of GPTs I made in a few hours after OpenAI dev day. Hope you find it useful!
Some of these work on LLMs. I think someone found sending ChatGPT backspaces did weird things.
> The current system very much benefits the US. Work visa holders pay taxes, support the local economy, and navigate a difficult journey to a green card and citizenship.

And they take jobs from locals, and increase the labor supply which can decrease wages. More people also exacerbates an undersupplied housing market. There are pros and cons to immigration. But yes, let’s just dismiss the concerns of those rubes and force them to do what you want.
presumably because OP was traumatised by this interaction with law enforcement that - had things been only subtly different - could have been a catastrophic event in their life.

there wasn’t a moral crime here - MDMA is widely regarded to be.. safe (please don’t bite on that, i mean to say that current research indicates that it’s probably less dangerous than alcohol). so why should that have been so traumatic?
I'm going to be honest, none of the US tracks have been great. Miami's asphalt was too rough, Austin's was a quintessential Hermann Tilke design (read: boring).

Hope Las Vegas is different, otherwise it really isn't a good way to attract that market.
“The credit agencies however offer you a real and valuable service. Without credit history it’s impossible to get credit.”

I think I generally agree that this is a reasonable service, however the main reason you can’t get credit without a credit history is these services exist that can provide credit history to lenders. It is bizarre to think that loans would not exist without these services.
Did this earlier this year. Its super easy to do. And recently had to temporarily unfreeze everything to open an account. Also very easy.

All free. 1 of them tries to upsell hard but can do all for free. I think a law passed in 2019 ish forcing it to be free.
having them fall down with all that ragdoll physics is the best part, also crashing into crowds like bowling balls. anyway, best of luck with it all, seems like a really original and entertaining idea.
It seems like inhibition of autophagy is a key contributor to the cardiovascular effects of metabolic syndrome. Imitating GLP shifts the metabolism towards a fasting state. This means you get all the benefits of time restricted eating or caloric restriction while still drinking coke and eating candy all day.
They seem to have lost people that I used to follow. Kind of a bummer because I don’t know where they migrated to.
you're forgetting the next person they give that 100 bucks to, deposits that money (if not completely spent) into a bank, which is again used to lend out more money.
Do you mean the option to pay instead of seeing ads? I thought that was in line with what people wanted - pay if you want an ad free experience, watch ads if you want a free experience. What did I miss? (I only read the headlines this week)

Human error in both cases, though both involved incomplete charts (the ridge the Connecticut hit was uncharted but there were all kinds of command/procedure errors that contributed to hitting it [and a number of significant command/procedure problems involving the ship in the months prior to the collision], the seamount the San Francisco hit in 2005 was marked as a possible hazard on charts the crew had but not the one used for navigation and the notation wasn't transferred to the charts used for navigation.)
As do most tract homes built sometime after the 1980s.
> It requires Apple to pay $6.75 million in civil penalties and $18.25 million to an unspecified number of affected workers.

The optics are that this is totally ok.
Agree.

Ive owned several businesses and probably hired about 100 people in my life. Ive never commanded a single one.

These are voluntary relationships. I’m paying for their services. I don’t command the waitress to bring me a drink, and she doesn’t command me to pay her.

Why would I ever issue a command? Either you’re choosing to work with me, in which case you want to provide me with your service, or we’re not working together.
Yeah, regular LTO, not thin LTO, isn't currently threaded. CMake uses the former.
Based on Meta's other products, I've already decided I don't want to be on Threads. Facebook & Instagram content is too mind-numbing for me to imagine that Meta want to have a decent level of discourse on their platforms.
That's what I thought the first time I went snorkeling in tropical waters.

It's too bad population seems to crowd out the majority of wildlife on the ground.

If it wasn't for birds, a majority of people wouldn't see much backyard wildlife, ever.
I'm seeing names that use letters either not present in my language or pronounced differently (like Veronica - the local spelling is Weronika).
Very happy gaming Fedora users here... But I did watch a video on NixOS and the nerdy hacker in me really wants to play with that concept...

I might have to run up some VM's for it maybe.
I think the point is to get Europeans to travel to Las Vegas. So having the strip lit up and the casinos visible is essential.
Clickbait headline - they obviously did realize or we wouldn't be reading the article.
Very surprising to me, I just had 4 flights on American this past week and every single one was full. Anecdotal of course.
Slowly and inefficiently. Projects like the F-35 are insanely complex and could not have been done on pen and paper.
It's worth noting that the article says "in order to allow" not "a great time for European audience." Surely 0600 is better than 0400?
> I perceive my name to be how it is pronounced, with writing being secondary.

> When someone says luke, yeah I'll get it and I definitely don't mind, but IPA /lyk/ or French Luc is what my name is. Apparently the /y/ sound just doesn't exist in most languages I interact with and that makes it impossible for virtually any non-French/Dutch person to pronounce it properly.

The consonant at the end of my name makes it impossible for many people to pronounce it correctly. You would have a similar problem; a Mandarin speaker would have no difficulty producing /ly/, but in the best case your full name would come out in two syllables as /ly.kɤ/.

If it's any consolation, the original form of the name had /u/, and the French /y/ is a later historical development internal to French. ;D
"The plant is capable of removing 1,000 tons of CO2 a year"

So about equivalent to 100 hectares of forest?

Anyway, cool, another 50 million more of these facilities and we'll be at break-even.
I watched the announcement of the LV GP. And I am pretty sure Domenicali answered the question that the GP is for local and the Las Vegas audience, regarding the time of the event.

Reading comments about the Jezebel layoffs I got the impression a lot of HN didn't love G/O Media blogs like this one...
Yeah, openly? Every week or so someone on my tech team crows about something they finally found a use for for ChatGPT. I try to keep a fund of my own anecdotes so that I can keep up appearances -- but mostly I use it for dall-e image generation. I've found ChatGPT rather terrible at generating python. Apparently it's the snizz at typescripting though, which my louder colleagues work with. :)
I think part of the reason it's not as prevalent as it once was is just because there's so much stuff out there these days that we don't want to burn. It's not as easy as it used to be.
Austin turn one uphill is pretty cool, I like driving on that track.
Part of the price of gas to your home is also the infrastructure. At least around here, that cost is based around how much gas you use. So when gas usage goes down, but the cost to maintain infrastructure stays the same, they raise those prices too.

And as gas prices go up, I do expect more people to look at ways to reduce usage, whether that be electrification, or even just more efficient gas appliances. That'll be a feedback loop to lower usage, raise prices, which gets consumers to lower usage.
And then, on Mastodon I've never heard anyone talking about Threads. They do mention Bluesky fairly often though.
These surfaces at scale will be a game changer for fighting climate change. They seem like magic. Here’s a key quote from Wikipedia:

> Some estimates propose that if 1–2% of the Earth's surface area were dedicated to PDRC that warming would cease and temperature increases would be rebalanced to survivable levels.

Solar near people and PDRCs away from people (where solar is impractical) along with a reduction in Carbon is a feasible plan today.

I am sure we'll see developers and users rushing to the Amazon Appstore, to about the same extent that they have on Android.
Loans did exist before credit, but it was almost always loans from friends/family or by providing a large down payment to the bank you wanted a loan from. You needed to be a known and upstanding member of the community to get a loan for anything substantial.

And technically, you can get many loans today without a credit score. For example, there are bank statement mortgage loans, but they have caveats like:

- you will go through manual underwriting and will likely need to show records of payment history on any existing debts, including utilities, insurance, rent, etc

- They will likely need the contact information for each one of your previous debts to verify it manually

- When they run a quote, you will typically be considered at the lowest credit score possible for that program - typically 620 for a conventional loan or 500 for FHA. This means you'll be getting the worst rate possible

- You'll likely need a 20% down payment, depending on if any of the PMI automated underwriting systems even give you a quote with such a low "fake" credit score. The lender might ask for more of a down payment depending on their own risk assessment.

- The lender (or whoever buys your loan) will report your new account to the bureaus, giving you a score.
I think our own brains have fooled us into thinking that cognitive processes are more clever/complex than they really are. The recent successes from LLMs/Generative AI give a hint that things don't need to be so complex and mysteriously difficult to be quite like human intelligence.

"Imagination" seems like just an indirection mechanism: simple animal can do "go towards the food you can sense". A more complex animal can "remember where the food was sensed, then go towards that place later". An even more complex animal can: "From other sensed information (e.g. habitat type), construct the same food-memory object that the more primitive animal used, then go towards that". By the time you get to that third level of sophistication we're calling the mechanism imagination.
The way I'd say it is that Bluesky and Lemmy are "winning" for me. I wouldn't wish absorbing the eternal September from Twitter and Reddit on an enemy, let alone my own hangouts.

> replaces every string in the customer's database with a cryptographic hash [..] So unless your city is named "success", it's going to be missing from the dataset.

I'm not sure I understand. Wouldn't it be trivial to hash the name of every known city, thereby reversing your cryptographic hash? As is done for passwords, only with a much smaller space of possibilities.

The file contains more than 9 characters. What was the author trying to say?
Some interesting people left Twitter, but they mostly left social media entirely.

I don’t think anyone interesting is actually on threads. It seems to be a graveyard with only Instagram influencers posting boring influencer stuff.

You don't know this. You can "imagine" how you'd react in a theoretical situation all you like, but It's like the first time you go skydiving - sure you know the safety record and you've got a parachute/reserve but until you get thrown out of a moving plane at 14,000 feet in the air, you have no idea whether you're going to react calmly or completely freak out.

Likewise until you're actually in a life and death situation, you don't know what you're truly capable of.
In the visual effects industry, project management software catagorises shots according to their rediness: just started, nearly ready, good to go etc. 'Good enough' is one of those catagories.
I tried out Threads during its initial rollout and after seeing Gary V and some brands being insufferable on there, I knew it was DOA. They were trying to desperately to make it a thing.

Additionally, while it may suck, and maybe there is some other emergent reality that sucks less, we practically live in this one. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.
I thought about switching for this reason but there is a logic to having different distros for server vs workstation. It’s nice having an up to date emacs and firefox for example, but I don’t expect a server distro to care about that, or a longer term system like Debian to emphasize that.

Is your server setup fairly elaborate to the point where it’s tricky to get it right on the workstation? These days I’m mostly just building a jar which is fairly simple. So I don’t feel much impedance mismatch fedora vs deb.
