Isn't that changing the rules? The whole point of the idea is that you're required to sell it for the listed price, there's risk involved in trying to reduce the value to lower your taxes. If you're allowed to update the price higher whenever you receive a buy offer that defeats the whole point, you can freely list the property as low as possible for tax purposes with no actual risk of having to sell it at that price.

It might additionally have the opposite effect of _discouraging_ anybody from attempting to buy your home at the low price, because they'll know it will likely be a waste of their time and you'll just update the number (and then lower it again at some point in the future). In that way it may have the opposite effect of making declared valuations significantly lower than they should be because everybody knows they're fake.

> You would probably declare the value at $350k to minimize your taxes.

Why wouldn't I just declare it to be $1? Everybody would know that's not a serious valuation, so in the best case they don't bother making any offers and I pay zero taxes. In the worst case I receive an offer and simply update the value to be slightly higher than that, which presumably would be close to the valuation an assessment would determine anyway.
He worked for Valve, a 30% app store, on making an economy of consumer producers to make digital hats for them to resell, but never seems to mention it in interviews for this new book.

Yeah I think the people who haven't found value are people who either don't have strong communication skills hence cannot articulate what they need OR work in very speciailized fields - either way they're clearly the minority seeing how many paying users chatgtp has and how fast they got there

Quoting directly from https://nostarch.com/crypto-dictionary under the entry SHA-2:

> Unlike SHA-1, SHA-2 algorithms aren’t broken and are unlikely to ever be.

There's also the fact NIST themselves deprecated SHA-1 in 2011 (https://csrc.nist.gov/news/2017/research-results-on-sha-1-co... not mentioned, but otherwise nice timeline here: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/60655), yet SHA-2 is still OK. Wiki has a table of cryptanalysis of SHA-2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2#Cryptanalysis_and_valida...

The summary is that either you attack a very reduced round variant and you get "practical" complexity for the attack, or you attack almost a full round variant and you get an entirely practical attack.

So I think your interpretation of the subtext is entirely correct.
TLDR: Bard will render Markdown images in conversations. Bard can also read the contents of your Google docs to give responses more context. By sharing a Google Doc containing a malicious prompt with a victim you could get Bard to generate Markdown image links with URL parameters containing URL encoded sections of your conversation. These sections of the conversation can then be exfiltrated when the Bard UI attempts to load the images by reaching out to the URL the attacker had Bard previously create.

Moral of the story: be careful what your AI assistant reads, it could be controlled by an attacker and contain hypnotic suggestions.

I can explain this as a former BW employee who knows the people involved. Ray's whole thing is intellectual humility:

“Before I begin telling you what I think, I want to establish that I’m a “dumb shit” who doesn’t know much relative to what I need to know. Whatever success I’ve had in life has had more to do with my knowing how to deal with my not knowing than anything I know.” [0]

One of the concepts for dealing with this is "believability weighting." ie: you may think we should do X, and I think we should do Y, but if out of the two of us, you're the one who's solved this problem - we weigh your opinion more.

So what Ray is doing here, is reminding Karen to be intellectually humble - in response to her asserting an opinion. Kinda like "don't believe everything you think." He's saying it in this way because logically "if you knew everything, you'd win every single trade and be ridiculously rich"

(to be clear, Karen was co-head of research at the time and quite wealthy)

That's exactly what the CUDA monopoly is meant to prevent, and as a fervent supporter of OpenCL (with two commercial apps), this is exactly the case I always make: even if some GPU came out tomorrow costing $0 and with infinite performance, all these people who paint themselves into a corner are hosed.

Not that anyone cares, and everyone keeps using CUDA while simultaneously complaining about Nvidia GPU prices, as if those two things have nothing to do with each other...
Because things are just are. An analogy I can come with is a graph like irrigation canals. You fill them with water and they just are. Or something like an adder circuits. You "input" the numbers and the result is just there. There isn't an algorithmic process with loops, conditions and recursions. We don't store information, we store its patterns and link it to other patterns. We don't process information as much as we filter it through patterns we've stored. Like logic gates do not process electricity, our brain do not process information.

> Housing is very expensive, but that's due to a failure to build.

The low maximum property tax rate and systematic failure to tax full value created by Prop 13 is a reason for the failure to build.

(Now, actually, I think residential property tax is a horribly regressive tax, and its better to fund government by progressive income taxes, but there needs to be a funding allocation formula that gives local government more of an incentive for development; California has adopted some limits on discretion and consequences for not meeting targets as a stick, but that's not enough to encourage good positive planning.)

People notice flicker below about 50Hz. So two 1/2-frames at 60 Hz gives flicker-free viewing of 30 fps video. The “light chaser phenomenon” kicks in at 15 Hz, so that is the minimum full-frame rate for the illusion of smooth motion.

Back around 1970 or 1971 I became friends with a graduate student by the name of Ralph Taggart at Michigan State who was one of the true pioneers of SSTV. He had just a technicians license at the time so we partnered and I was the operator helping him access the HF bands through the university station W8SH.

He later became a NatSci professor at MSU and is now retired. We participated together in the first SSTV contest contacting hams all over the US and a few in Europe and one in South Africa.

SSTV grew more popular but never reached critical mass with hams. Younger hams these days are far more interested in the new digital modes.
It depends on the architecture of your app. If you're using React to return HTML from the server, then indeed wrapping an <img /> in a React component means you're augmenting an existing element. But if you're rendering the entire thing on the client side, then the <img /> is ultimately inseparable from the React component.
I don’t get why everyone is so skeptical of this. It makes sense to me based on my experience. Everywhere I’ve worked has had an obvious bottom 10% that was low or negative productivity.

There's an apocryphal Mark Twain quote, that "Whisky is for drinking, and water for fighting over".

That saiod, pistachios, pomegranates etc are high-value crops, not like the alfalfa the Saudis grow using senior water rights and then ship to feed cows in Saudi Arabia.

The big problem is that California is too chicken to flatten the baroque system of senior and junior water rights because of the decades of litigation that would entail, and at the same time agricultural water is heavily subsidized and there are perverse incentives for farmers not to invest into more efficient irrigation schemes, often simply flooding entire fields.
Even though it might make oldschool/retro developers recoil, I fancy the notion of being able develop for older systems using modern languages and tools.

Model Training (SDXL LoRA) Book for Beginners [pdf]
LoRA is one the fine-tuning methods. Compared to other methods like DreamBooth, Textual Inversion etc, it has benefits like smaller output file size, fewer training images required etc.

LoRA is particularly valuable for beginners, as it simplifies the process of adapting complex models for your specific needs without requiring extensive expertise in AI. Whether you're looking to enhance the performance of an image generation model or fine-tune a model for your specific need, LoRA can be a valuable ally in AI image generation journey.

Statements like "shotspotter doesn't work" are reductive. Let's be specific about what it does and doesn't do. Some departments have found the data to not be actionable using current response methods. However, the systems are good at detecting gunshot like noises. This data is much more actionable for placing a camera than how cameras are placed today, which is "this intersection is near where crime happened last year, let's bolt a camera to the pole"

Drone navigation has been progressing quite a lot over the past decade, and law enforcement in some places is already using them in an automated way, as the article mentions. Also, the suggestion above was forward looking, it wasn't suggesting that the NYPD should glue these systems together today.
Both apps mentioned in the article are available for iOS.

Mentioning Chernobyl at all, at least to me, shows a deep lack of understanding about nuclear power infrastructure and capabilities in the 21st century. It cannot be stressed enough that Chernobyl was a fluke on top of a fluke, with bad design and dangerous elemental choices at its core. It is nothing like the nuclear power tech we would choose to use today. Thorium MSR poses literally near-zero risk of meltdown, and the meltdown potential of Thorium can be compared to Chernobyl in parts per million.

Considering all of this, mentioning the threat of another Chernobyl every time nuclear power is positioned as a viable option is like thinking that the Valdez disaster occurs every time we ship gas overseas.
He can run it however he wants as long as it's legal, but that doesn't free him from analysis and criticism.
Staying closer to web standards is always best for maintainability and portability. I personally like custom direct standards but that doesn't always work in a team for some reason today. There will always be less dependencies in a straight standards solution, that makes for better maintainability and opsec. I also think it is better for web developers to know standards over just abstractions, it makes for better developers.

Additionally, web standards like Web Components/templates/custom elements will always be faster at browser level.

The article from OP mentions this:

> But the unique power of web components (in the browser) is that they can render before JavaScript. React components cannot do this — full stop.

There are other reasons as well but these are the best reasons.

I think using a framework for a team isn't a bad idea, but for products and personal projects I like going custom or newer framework like Lit simply because of the web standards being less abstracted away and due to that, less need to constantly update on others schedules due to dev lock-in. There is less weight in straight standards.

If you remember React/Vue originally won due to virtualdom and being small parts that work into an existing web, but recently they have been very monolithic in that they take over the entire project. The web is more about augmentation as the article mentions and I agree, those items will be easier to maintain.
Those repeated calls sound like a good way to rack up a bill and incur a high latency.
In some cases, react seems to go out of its way to make the built-in functionality harder to access. For instance, if you assign "onchange" to an <input>, react will give you the "input" event, not the "change" event. (Actually, it gives a neither. It gives you a "synthetic" event that's closer to input than change) What if you know what you're doing, and you actually wanted "change"? You have to use an element ref an attach the handler using an effect.
Within reason. If you lead or lag too much it will cause trouble (either for you or for other consumers and in a really bad case for the grid equipment itself).

That's why the grid will selectively island parts that are too far out of phase. Normally this should not happen though.
I love it how many folks now use SSTV to send memes and shitposts.

> I feel people are just blindly following the data driven narrative

I really wish nuclear proponents would take a data driven approach. It would essentially stop the conversation right there. Instead we have to deal with ridiculous scenarios talking about the safety of nuclear power immediately followed by "we just need to remove these regulations which make it too expensive to operate" as if one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. The energy sector in the US is ran for profit. If there were a profit to be made off of nuclear power, energy companies would be all for it. Yet instead they just keep putting up more wind farms that they can realize profit from after 12-18 months instead of spending billions of dollars and decades on a project that may never see completion.
It's not as bizarre as you might think. The United States is not a monoculture, different parts of the country are more hierarchical than others.

I'm a backend php dev who is hopelessly behind on the frontend literature, so here's pseudocode for how I would like web components (dynamic tag definitions) to work:

<html>
<tag>
<my_tag $message="Hello, world!">
<script>
alert($message);
setTimeout(function () { alert("Boop!"); }, 10000);
</script>
<img src="my_image.png"/>
<p>$message</p>
</my_tag>
</tag>
<tag src="my_other_tag.html"/>
<body>
<!-- shows "Hello, world!" -->
<my_tag/>
<!-- shows "Hello, override!" -->
<my_tag message="Hello, override!"/>
</body>
</html>

By default, the browser would allow setTimeout(), so the user would see alerts showing after 10 seconds. But there should be a custom script.js that works like stylesheet.css that the user can set for the browser. It could have a line like quitTimeout() which would disable setTimeout() for all pages. And something like setScriptLifetime(5000) which would run Javascript for 5 seconds in this case, preventing the alerts, then only allow new scripts to run upon user action. Or even have an option like setScriptLifetime(5000, 0) where the second argument sets a lifetime for new scripts, in this case preventing all future scripts from starting.

That right there would make browsers run about 1000 times faster regardless of how many tabs are open, as well as stop most of the slowdown from ads.

Maybe <tag> should be <tag tag="my_tag"> to make it inline. Or <$my_tag> so as to not confuse new tag definitions with existing tags. As they say, the devil is in the details. But I think it makes sense to nest the tag definition in case <head> or <script> tags are needed, which would maybe get installed in the parent page. And there are endless use cases for passing variables to/from tags which are beyond the scope of this comment. Probably that would happen through data tags, passing JSON or raw Javascript like for onclick="alert('Hello')" where myTag.data = 1 + 1 would be like re-rendering with <my_tag data="2">.

But if we had something like that, frontend code would end up several orders of magnitude smaller, because we'd get back to declarative interfaces with progressive enhancement, more like what Htmx is working towards.

Keep in mind that I thought of this in 1995 when I very first saw NCSA Mosaic, and was flabbergasted that html tags weren't dynamically defined this way. When Netscape copied Mosaic but failed to fix even the slightest oversights like this, I knew that the future of the web was in perile and that we'd end up with the imperative stateful mess we live with today.
PolyCam is apparently not free but considered one of the best. I used 3D Scanner from Laan labs (& it's a free app. No ads thankfully). I used it to build a few dataset for NeRFs based on MIPNeRF. The data quality seemed pretty fine. I use a iPad Pro with M1 btw.

I literally saw the sin one yesterday, so I'll rewrite it!!

Let e be an infinitesimal.

We write st(x) for the function dropping the infinitesimal part of a number.

Then f'(x) = st(1/e (f(x+e)-f(x)))

Now use the angle sum identity and cos(e) = 1 - e^2, sin(e) = e. I don't know how to justify these values other than the power series identities for sin and cos...

So st(1/e (sin(x+e)-sin(x))) = st(1/e (sin(x)cos(e)+cos(x)sin(e)-sin(x))
= st(1/e (sin(x)(1-e^2)+cos(x)e - sin(x)))
= st(1/e (sin(x) - sin(x) - e^2 sin(x) + cos(x)e))
= st(e sin(x) + cos(x))
= cos(x)
My dream is for the entire industry to start demanding this perfect workflow. Then I will be even more valuable wherever I go.
> Also, in this definition, why are the "lords" able to "generate enormous wealth" just like capitalists?

Feudal lords generated their wealth from exploiting the lands they held. Generally, they don't make more land, but when the world wide web came into being, there was suddenly a ton of new land! Between 2000-2015, the tech giants consolidated much of that land (and thus the wealth) - giants like Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Adobe and MSFT can absolutely be viewed as imperialist, and they operate in that manner internally.

> So.. is Facebook forcing me to hand over some of my wealth by using violence, with the agreement that they will also use their monopoly on violence to protect me from Snapchat, if I sign up to Facebook?

Kind of. Facebook is using economic and legal violence, rather than physical. They won't send a squad of knights to your house to punish you, but they are attempting to create a system where your only options are to use their service, in the manner they want you to use it (i.e. the one that maximizes their revenues). Why run a business when you can collect the gabelle?

Sure, they don't own Snapchat, they certainly tried, but they own Instagram, Whatsapp, and hundreds of other startups they've taken out of the market. You still have some options (TikTok, Snapchat) because Meta's dominance is incomplete and the state doesn't fully support them having a monopoly.

What am I doing here? This is for people that have their shit together. I don't have my shit together, do I? Maybe I do?

I'm a child that tricked 5 people into thinking I know what I'm doing and gave me a job, then used that lie to swindle a bank into letting me borrow $300,000 to buy a house. I traveled to Italy last year. Are kids even allowed to board international flights on their own?
