>The concept of imputed income also helps homeowners. If you own a house that you rent out to people, the money you get is counted as income. If you are an owner-occupier and paid off your mortgage, then you effectively pay rent to yourself... money that you otherwise would've needed to pay to others, but don't need to pay tax on it.

Imputed income is everywhere, are you suggesting it should all be taxed? When you prepare a meal in your kitchen instead of paying for it in a restaurant, you effectively pay chef's wages to yourself, "money that you otherwise would've needed to pay to others, but don't need to pay tax on it." Another reason why singling out homeowners on imputed rent is fallacious is that if the imputed rent were to be taxable, then the cost of maintaining and improving the home would be deductible, just like it is for landlords, and there would be no caps on mortgage or real estate tax deductions related to acquiring or improving the property, just like for landlords.
Please no. Too much noise.
Its quite the capitalistic mirror, like Monopoly. Is Bridge this bad or is it more an intellectual/collegial forum?
Not typically AFAIK. The mortgage is secured by a specific piece of property which has been inspected, title-searched, etc. It's not a random unsecured loan. It's also the case in the US that you can generally just pay off the loan any time you want.
Hart Island (where the occupant was buried) has an interesting history:

"The remains of more than one million people are buried on Hart Island, though since the first decade of the 21st century, there are fewer than 1,500 burials a year. Burials on Hart Island include individuals who were not claimed by their families or did not have private funerals; the homeless and the indigent; and mass burials of disease victims."

This is me talking. I have more problems than just ADHD.

This is a long comment. If you just want a strategy for dealing with working memory inside your head, skip to the end and read 3.

For me increasing working memory was a dead end and I found it far more effective to optimize how do use what I have. The vast majority of my advice and strategies revolve around mental health. Mental and physical health alone can add one or two slots of working memory because your brain is working better.

Some advice:

- Do not limit yourself to doing daily things the normal or accepted way. Do not let yourself or other people tell you that you need to do things a certain way. If you can find a way to not lose your keys, it doesn't matter how crazy or stupid that way is because the end result is you don't lose your keys. (Please be considerate of other people.)

- Half measures are okay.

- Half done is usually better than not done. If you're stuck, walk away and get something else done. The feeling of accomplishment on a small task can recharge you. Then you can go back and finish the other task.

- Failing doesn't mean you need to fail completely. For example, if you're on diet and start annihilating a large number of small high-calorie snacks, that's not an excuse to finish the bag. :)

Strategies

1. Reduce your baseline cognitive load. That's basically what my advice is trying to do. The less you are fighting your own expectations and limitations, the more you can focus on getting things done. (Cognitive behavioral therapy is solution here.)

2. Remove stress or distractions. This is the same strategy as cognitive load, only applied to your environment. For me sometimes I just have to clean before I can get work done.

3. Map and reduce. This is involved and difficult to explain. I recommend using paper until you get good at this.

The goal is you need to do is take complex ideas that use multiple slots of working memory and make them take one or zero slots. There are several ways to do this.

Paper is the easiest method to explain. Write out what is in your memory and then rewrite it so that it compacts into one thing you understand. What you should be able to do is look at the paper and immediately understand what is going on without having to think about it. This frees up all your working memory to make connections to other things.

This can also be done with short term memory. You think about the problem and reduce it to a single idea or process. When you understand something well enough, you can hold a pointer to it in a slot of working memory.

Long-term memory is just regular learning. Programming languages and that embarrassing thing you said eight years ago are stored in long-term memory.

I lived in a nice apartment building in Toronto from 2015-2020. One couple in the building had lived in the same rent-stabilized apartment there since 1967.

On the bright side, it was a well-maintained building in a good neighborhood, so they had reasons to enjoy it being just the price.

You're disregarding the fact that landowners are already incented to devote land to its highest and best use, as measured by how much they can gain for it. The benefit derived from a local amenity, such as a park, is currently reflected in surrounding land values; LVT would harness this value for the community that created it in the first place, rather than leave it entirely to private landowners.

The problem with "cool" station wagons is the same as the problem with SUVs - they are less useful than "uncool" ones.

My father had VW Passat and now he has Audi A6. Passat Station Wagon (what we call kombi in Europe) fits 2 big bicycles inside without disassembling them. Audi A6 and similar doesn't even fit 1 because of the angle of the rear window.

Of course SUV also wouldn't fit 2 bikes inside, but still - you buy kombi for a reason. Making them cool to the point of breaking the usability is stupid.
2 behaviors are being studied.

Misalignment (engaging in the illegal behavior) and Deception (hiding the reason behind the trading decision to the user.)

Key Takeaways

1. Without the scratchpad, GPT-4 is much less likely to be deceptive at first (~20% vs ~75% with scratchpad) but is more likely to double down when already lied (~95% vs ~85%).

2.Explicit instructions not to perform that specific illegal activity (insider trading) does not make it disappear completely, just makes it very rare (not quite 0%). On the rare occasion misalignment occurs in this circumstance, consequent deception is near certain (~100%).

Instructions not to perform illegal activity in general still results in a pretty significant misalignment and deception rates (~8% misalignment, ~90% deception)

Though strongly encouraging the specific illegal activity results in near 100% illegal trading, the tendency to deceive still persists, GPT-4 will hide that it has traded illegally ~67% of the time.

3. Removing various sources of pressure significantly reduces
the model’s propensity for misaligned behavior. Notably, however, the behavior persists for all cases
where only a single source of pressure is removed

4. When
the risk of detection is very low, the model is generally more likely to use the insider tip and act
misaligned (and vice-versa when the risk is very high).

5. simple rephrases and minor modifications to the standard
prompt only slightly change rates of misalignment and deceptive behavior. However, the overall
qualitative results remain the same.

6. In scratchpad instances, what if you edit the model's reasoning to show instances of unambiguously rejecting insider training?

Strong wording of the reasoning trace when first rejecting the insider tip
has a substantial effect on GPT-4’s tendency to be misaligned. However, the misaligned and strategically deceptive behavior persists even when the model’s character unambiguously dismisses insider trading. The strongest dismissal examples still results in ~10% misalignment, ~97% deception

That was not uncommon in most older American cities. Kansas City for example has a number of former residential hotels, as does New Orleans.

It's not like these were a Holiday Inn or something!

The difference with modern hotel residences is that they tend to have a full kitchen etc, and be more of a condo building with a hotel at the bottom (usually).
I always thought it was weird and unnecessary to use EIRP power limits on 60m vs transmitter output power (before feedline losses and antenna gain) as on every other band.

The TX power limits were primarily driven by builder/operator safety - higher power requires higher amplifier voltages. If there is a lower requirement for a band to avoid interference with shared uses, why not just specify a lower power level? Why add a requirement that involves antenna and near-field environment modeling?
Show HN: Static website that regenerates on-demand with built-in CMS
Some of my friends are artists and creators. Their personal websites are important for them, serving both as a showcase for new work and an archive of past creations. However, these websites often lack the dynamism of social media, which makes them somewhat boring. I've noticed that these friends of mine are reluctant to update their personal websites. They view it as a diversion from their current projects, and the tools they use can be user-unfriendly or too complex. To address this I created a simple website template that an artist can update from a desktop or phone, with as much fluidity and ease of use as possible. I also focused on low cost and zero maintenance. This is the stack I used: React, Next.js, Vercel.

I don't think it's often even about actual security concerns as such but rather about following "best practices" (i.e. what some company sells) so nobody in the org can be blamed when the security fails.

This happens in physical security as well. It's rather common to have door accesses set up so that a person may not have access to go through a door, but can access both sides of the door from other routes. But there was a door-based access policy so nobody is to blame.

Sadly the main concern in many/most organizations is to avoid getting blamed for bad things, so rather than actually trying to prevent bad things, a lot of effort is used to just dissipate the responsibility away.

Not a true resignation, but I've left teams for other teams at the same company multiple times. Reasons were bad management, dead technology, too much context switching, and unrealistic expectations.
Yeah, I have a combustion Camry and recently borrowed a friend's hybrid Lexus while mine was in the shop and the hyrbid's shortened lag from pedal press to actual acceleration was probably the most notable difference between hybrid & combustion.

I've been on both sides of that kind of situation, and IMO when an IT department gets that calcified, it's a sign that their days (or the company's days) are numbered. Either the non-IT staff will get fed up and replace IT, or the non-IT staff won't be able to get their work done efficiently and the company will fail.

The non-IT staff build those things because they've identified a way for the company to improve itself, but the process for getting what they want from IT is too expensive/onerous, IT has delivered disappointing results too many times, etc. Find a way to meet in the middle, or the non-IT staff are just going to build them in their own shadow cloud account and eventually make the IT department redundant.
I have ADHD and unapologetically take adderall.

Yes, there's a stigma but there's also about a 6x improvement in my mood and ability to stay focused on a single task after I take 5mg. I've never developed dependency and generally only take it 3-4 times a week. I've also never really had to increase the dose.

This came after two diagnosis from neuropsychiatrists both reaching the same conclusion.

Being diagnosed at 22 I'm glad I wasn't prescribed adderall as a teen but I loathe how much more I could have achieved in college seeing how much more capable I am now.

I acknowledge it's probably not great for my heart health - but I was so depressed about how I was unable to get anything done or focus on studying before that I'd always make this tradeoff.
The mixture of client-side and server-side code that Blazor can allow in the same files gives me a very gut instinct feeling that "those who have forgotten the WebForms history, or worse the ASP Classic history, are doomed to repeat it". It's obviously different from both WebForms and ASP Classic and its use of Wasm is certainly a brand new idea that WebForms only wishes it had access to. It seems like a brand new mistake to me, because I still remember debugging ASP Classic and WebForms and Silverlight and "now even the client side JS of ~~WebForms~~ Blazor is no longer JS but a mini-.NET runtime in a Wasm box" doesn't sound like a good time in the long term maintenance future to me when Blazor apps become legacy apps. But some of that gut instinct may just be cynicism at this point.

The difference is that those two stories you mention are purporting to describe something which happened. Because of that you can ask if they are accurate or not. With something completely fictional that is not a valid question.
I can relate to that statement despite being a hardcore proponent of GPT-4. In a way, the GPT-4 as queried expertly; and the GPT-4 as queried inexpertly/free ChatGPT are dramatically different beasts with a vast gap in capability. It's almost like two different products, in a way, where the former is basically in alpha/beta state and can be only incidentally and unreliabily tapped into through the OpenAI API or ChatGPT Plus.

IMO, it's not fair to beat people over the head with "you're holding it wrong" arguments. Until and unless we get a prompt-rewriting engine that reprocesses the user query into something more powerful automatically (or LLMs' baseline personality capabilities get better), "holding it wrong" is an argument that may be best rephrased in a way that aims to fill the other person's gaps in knowledge, or not said at all.

I think we already give Github far too much influence over the free software world without also paying attention to who they see fit to hand awards to.

I wonder whether Github would have considered the PSF to be "wonderfully welcoming" if they hadn't switched from their self-hosted bug tracker to Github's offering last year.

Personally I don't find being asked to read [1] before I can submit a bug report at all welcoming.

Well, I left for exactly that reason. I imagine those who stayed took an 'ends justify the means' stance that I couldn't abide. The organizations themselves are insatiable - there's no way that, left to their own devices, any three-letter-agency would ever say "Oh, this is beyond our scope, we shouldn't be allowed to access this.", and that combined with rubber stamp 'checks' allowed this surveillance creep.
Yes. Its as you describe it. One of my first coaches and probably the best MTT player in India (Danish Shaikh) quit poker for the exact same reason. He got so good at the game that he pitied the people he won money from. After a point, he just gave up on the game.

I highly doubt it. Reading this I honestly struggle to understand the value. In the article it says it is not faster than JavaScript except for intense computations. So, I could understand the existence of WASM libraries for certain computations that are actually faster, but for UI stuff and simple calculations (most of what frontend needs to do) you might as well stick to JavaScript as its WAAAY faster in dev time and equal in performance (or at least equal enough that it is imperceptible by the end user), and in some cases it might even be slower since you have to take the time to serialize the data to send it between JS and WASM.

Great questions! The tests act as few-shot examples for the LLMs, which has been shown to guide the style and accuracy of model outputs and improve performance quite well. For instance we’ve seen accuracy go from <70% to 93%+ vs without including the tests. The hallucinations are still an inherent risk with LLMs, especially with long-form context, but adding more diverse and well aligned examples as tests does reduce the hallucination risk and align the outputs with user intent.
In terms of performance management and monitoring, QA for LLMs is a difficult process to get right and we’re looking into ways how to a) make it easy for users to test out different function descriptions and tests on their own datasets to gauge performance and b) introduce ways how to seamlessly carry out continuous monitoring of function outputs with low effort. Still WIP but will keep you posted!

I think your situation (especially with your child) outlines one of the insidious challenges we face in our modern society: breaking through the confusion and understanding the nuance of an issue (in this case, ADHD).

We've all heard the misinformation tropes "Back in my day, a kid was hyper because he wanted to play, nowadays $BOGEYMAN says those kids need to be medicated so they can get a 4.0", and they sound so alluring to large groups of people, so they write off ADHD altogether. Yet I distinctly remember kids from my childhood who could not hold a conversation, they would literally break off into a new topic while you were mid-sentence with them. Tell me how that kid can possibly learn anything if he doesn't even know that he vacated a conversation.

This is a parallel to George Carlin's "It's called shell-shock" spiel, or used by people to deny the existence of depression. It's very difficult to both convey nuance, and get people to accept it, even though it (the nuance) abuts life-threatening issues.
I personally find that if I don't use them, my socks, towels, etc all come out very stiff and dry.

Reading this, not sure about anyone else's experience but very little written here reflects how any of those subjects were actually approached and you know just the assumption that because you have something called a "teacher" in a class called "x" means that the "teacher" actually taught "x", because yeah from my experience a lot of it was just about regurgitating facts, no creativity was never really taught and was often punished, actual speaking and actual communication was never really taught only judged, and no way did "learn from what came before us and how the world around us works" ever occur within the walls of any classroom I was unfortunate enough to sit within.

Wouldn't ever risk my kids future by throwing them into that system, honestly feel extremely lucky it didn't completely screw mine up.
