In the US, this will severely limit your options. Most houses are posted to MLS first, and don't make it to public sites until later. If you want to get the best deals, you gotta have an agent send you MLS listings daily, swoop in and make an offer on the first day before anyone else sees it.

When I bought my last house, my agent was able to send me dozens of listings from MLS for homes that weren't listed on public websites.

HN is full of self-professed master negotiators. Just look at any salary thread. I am absolutely willing to pay a realtor to negotiate for me (and in general to have knowledge of the market and know how to find the real market price) because I suck at negotiating and have no idea how to do it.
Lending is one of the few areas that does have that, yes.
Beyond a certain speed, full-face helmets become a practical matter rather than merely a safety or legal matter. Can't hear with the wind rushing in your ears, can't see with the wind in your eyes.
>> I have at least one very concrete example of code that someone assumed to be atomic:

request_id = self._next_id

self._next_id += 1

To think that is thread safe is just naive. Once you understand the potential problem you can look at the code and ask "why shouldn't this be unsafe?" Since there is nothing explicitly preventing the problem. After reading TFA (lazily I admit) I still don't know why that code is thread-safe with the GIL.

Python is fun and often forgiving, but a bunch of people who got lucky (because they were never taught about the hazards) are going to learn some new stuff with no-gil. I think it's a long overdue change and worth the (single thread) performance hit and bug surfacing phase.

The video feed showing the stranger's face doesn't seem to be working, but the inputs taken from my own camera (blinks) do. Is there a way to fix that issue on my end?

1. This is a kickstarter, not retail. It’s meant to also kickstart the project by providing funding to set up the factory, train assembly staff, and recoup R&D costs.

2. You can buy 1 for $20 sure. But they are also selling 12 for $75. $6.25 each is not nearly so bad for a small batch product. Larger production runs could likely be much cheaper.

3. Are Nvidia’s margins really that great? $4.2B profit on $27B revenue works out to less than 16%. Many people who criticize per-unit sales by tech companies totally neglect R&D costs that need to be recouped somehow.
Damn. If it's really 50/50 then that is bad!
Makes sense to me. If E2EE got banned, I could go download Free and Open Source applications from the internet that circumvent that ban. That's how it works on all of my computers right now, if Apple still demands override controls after letting you install third-party apps, then maybe we'll need a second Digital Market Act. I reckon we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

The word "roughly" is doing some heavy lifting here.

There is a long history of telecoms getting subsidies under terms like what you say, failing to do what they are supposed to, not being punished for it (I suspect corruption from regulatory capture), and then pushing for more subsidies for the problem. Admittedly this comes with a certain amount of showy punishments and appropriate prostration of telecom execs. However that amounts to a slap on the wrist, and then business as usual.

Given that this cycle has been going on for decades, there is every reason to believe that this is just another round.
I know, too bad that possibility was only possible in the past and not with todays technology.

The knowledge of how to do this has forever been lost. Hopefully archaeologists can reconstruct it one day.
You still need to register with a phone number though. Until that's no longer a requirement, I'm personally not using Signal.
I’ve never studied economics so there is a very good chance I’m reading the plot wrong somehow, but it looks like US manufacturing has been increasing since the 70’s at least.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/tags/series?t=manufacturing%3Bqu...

It takes up less of the economy of maybe, and we might focus on upscale things that have less consumer visibility like industrial stuff, but manufacturing in the US seems to be in an OK spot.
You can say "stop by the way" and it'll stop for some inderterminent amount of time then come back. I've heard that some people set up a Routine at 3am every day to turn the volume to zero, say "Alexa stop by the way", then turn the volume back up. I haven't tried it but I heard it works.
asking about state-level debt gets into philosophical (and I would argue even religious) territory very quickly, but to answer your questions:

'why...it is okay for the federal government...' federal govt in US is following general patterns at business and individual scale, because democratic processes lead to a reflection of decisions at smaller elements of society at bigger ones.

'...ever reversed course historically?' no reversals, but plenty of upheavals, such as war, conquering, etc.

Thanks: it does seem like the lack of sandboxing is the major problem here. A difficulty in this sort of archiving is that we're not trying to make it so that we can build the code: we're trying to make it so that any reader in the future can. Close to zero of those readers are likely to be using nix for anything else, or to have any experience with nix (or any other approach we might take).

Our approach was to make a script for nix-shell that would put the readers in an environment where they could run the code, compiling specific (old) versions of two research software packages. But I think the problem here is that in writing the derivations here, we didn't put gcc in the build inputs. So the system's compiler ended up being used, and with the old, finicky code, compiler flags needed to change. A frustration here is that it appears sandboxing can't be enabled for nix-shell, a problem that has been known for close to a decade [2]. But in our case, if we can get the build inputs to be reasonably complete on our own, it should improve the situation for our readers in the future.

Most explanations I've seen boil down to to "The US (or any other sovereign nation with control over their own currency) can print their way out of debt, it's literally impossible for the US to default." This ignores the devastating economic effects that printing such a huge amount of currency would cause (likely comparable to the effects of simply defaulting) and ignores the fact that sovereign nations with control over their own currency have chosen to default anyway (see Russia ~20 years ago for an example).
I love flatpaks. If I need to run a newer version of some software, I'll use it because any backported dependencies won't break my OS.

Honestly, not sure if you're trying to insult me or insult Rivian.

The general behavior so common there's an entire joke circling HN about "What's our pivot strategy"

"We pivot into pretending to work while absorbing large sums of cash. Then we bail and do it again while the market rewards our confidence."

Like the author said. "Love it!"

It's correlating on a really common strategy. "Through mysterious circumstances, we have somehow negotiated incredibly horrible supply deals. We now go out of business and run away with your money."
There's a secondary cost savings in reduced health care costs from the extra exercise. (May not apply in all countries, but does for the US/Europe).
Deep Mind's big thing with the game of go, and in general to be honest, is Reinforcement Learning (RL), a branch of ML that until very recently was mostly ignored by industry, and only now gets love because of its perceived utility in some parts of the GenAI tooling chain.

I think even with that in account, RL has only reached a tiny fraction of its potential. We have focused so much on supervised and unsupervised learning for so many years, and then been wow'ed by LLMs we have only see RL start to impact industries in self-driving/flying vehicles, and forget about all the other potential.

The thing about RL that people don't seem to understand is that it is mathematically proven to find the optimal control policy.

In the context of go, that means the only way it can be beaten is through variance (or "luck", if you prefer). As there is no dice or random element in go, the top players in the World basically have to be optimal in every move to get a draw. And then again, and again, and again.

And that's the best they can do if the RL algorithm has stopped learning - it's found an optimal strategy, and it can't be beaten, only matched.

Think about all the optimisation and control problems out there that could benefit from this. And yet still we seem to think it's like supervised/unsupervised learning and only "accurate" to ~90+%, and so it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Or perhaps I'm a dreamer and an optimist and you're right.

I would happily take the other side of that bet though. At even money, I have all the EV, I'm confident of it.
Fukushima also produced immensely more electricity. Again, impact per unit of electricity produced is lower.
CI jobs trigger on the change, not the PR creation, so there's no need for the extra step. There's no need for a PR for trivial stuff. In the context of teams "internal to a company who know and trust each other", when deep review is still important, is the PR process useful, or is it busywork? Why not have the deep review happen during the development, rather than after?

> But agents aren't incentivized to negotiate lower prices because payment on both sides is proportional to total price sold

Typically, agents (on both sides) are incentivized to doing whatever makes the sale happen with the least time, risk, and effort, because what they lose on commission if that involves a (not extraordinarily unreasonable) price cut they make up for in volume.

Yes, currently there's no way to jump to the middle of a course. That lets us keep the lessons shorter, without needing to recap earlier topics. We're planning to add a way to skip, but that's not in yet unfortunately.

Edit: Just to be clear, all of the lessons shown on the course page are available, but you have to start at the beginning for now.
See, that's the other essential aspect of this moment that most people miss, or dismiss as a weird quirk or whatever. AlphaGo's utility function was to maximize its chance at winning Go, NOT to win quickly. So it got into a position where it knew it would win, and then dicked around indefinitely because why not. Honestly, more than a few people here probably find this too relatable.
My wife and daughter fell asleep as I explained time value tradeoffs of money to the add-ons guy who was trying to sell me everything. Rock chip cover, googled 5 local offers for 1/4 the price. Prepaid service contract, guy tried to tell me it would void my warranty if I did the oil myself. "Sir what you just said is illegal". He was flustered for the undercoat sales to stop salt rust "we live in Seattle which doesn't use salt". Took me about 30 minutes and I had a ton of fun.
I'm not asking for invasive credit checks to go gamble, just like there's no invasive checks to buy a bike or car stereo (back in the 90's) from a shady character on the sidewalk. Maybe my interpretation of the law - "possession of stolen property is illegal and subject to forfeiture" - is incorrect? I just think that when these cases break, the casinos should be required to return the stolen property (and maybe that's the crux of it, is money not "property"? I know it has separate laws that apply to it). Especially because most gamblers use "player's cards" that track every dollar you play (to build rewards comps). I could see the difficulty in trying to surmise how much cash was played and lost if you didn't have player tracking cards. But when there is a clear paper trail of the money, take it right back and give it to the victim. What's the problem?
https://modern-sql.com/ has some info about more recent additions to SQL to make life easier/write higher level or more composable queries.

Once you have the basics of SQL down (like how to write a query), you want to understand what the database actually does with your queries, so you can predict what the query plan "ought to be"/what you want, and you can read the query plans to try to understand why you did or didn't get the plan you expect.

https://use-the-index-luke.com/

And then once you understand the fundamentals, your database's manual is the place to go. Especially different index types (including their internals!) and what kinds of queries they support. The above link goes into depth about b-trees, but there are other types, and you can use b-trees as a reference point to contrast with others.

In North America, the farther north you go - and thus the colder the winters - the more people bike year round. It is a small minority for sure, but cold is not a problem on a bike as they prove. (I haven't got the guts to bike when it is -20, but that is something some do)
I think this is likely an issue with the way that I am (trying to) set up the (ideally) peer to peer video connection. One thing you could try is to switch to a mobile device using data if you're having trouble matching with folks from your wifi; it's possible that firewalls are causing problems.

but i also definitely have more work to do to pair people in a more intelligent way so that video is likely to actually work - I put off doing this because I wasn't sure if anyone was actually going to enjoy playing!

Quack-reduce author here.

I think the most interesting thing about duckDB (for us) is that you can "take out the DB" from duckDB and use the built-in engine over a (stateless, ephemeral) table you got from wherever.

We didn't do much map-reduce aside some quick tests (i.e. the ones in that repo), but we did pursue a larger vision for serverless lake-house in which SQL and Python co-exist and data flow seamlessly between functions and across languages.

Good call out. And I am aware of the history and edge cases with residential real estate in the US.

So as to not talk past each other I'm specifically talking about present and future vanilla residential real estate transactions. For example w2 income with history, deed in your name, <10k sqft lot sfh or condo/townhome in a city.

For these things I struggle to imagine a future where the government does not have a clear view as to who owns and can transfer property (property taxes, IRS filings, Fannie/Freddie, recorded deeds, etc). They are backstopping the mortgage, they should understand what they are lending against.

I am the main author behind the JS/TS integration for emacs-ng. I still think it is one of the cooler things I have done that people have taken note of.

I am a game programmer by trade, and I had experiencing embedding JS into projects from a previous engine I worked on where JS was the primary gaming scripting layer.

I love emacs and I love lisp in general - I added JS to emacs mainly to find out if I could do it. I also had a hope that adding JS could expand emacs usage to people that don't know elisp, and have JS be a "gateway" into elisp.

I think that the JS integration is a huge testament to the flexibility and quality of emacs and elisp.

As I have gotten older, I've had less and less time for open source, but I don't consider this project abandoned. I still want to upgrade us to the latest deno. My previous upgrade attempt (which you can see in draft PR at the time of this comment) was a little too ambitious - I tried to move us to a more multithreaded approach, but I think I need to work on this more incrementally.

Also, I think the largest cash deal in Swedish history is something that is just moving along together with the new coffee machine for the lobby, without political oversight.

Ageism demanded by the masses. Tech workers are a funny bunch in how they love digging their own graves.

If they actually focused on bettering their web services they wouldn't need to hold reign over web browsers.

This actually shows that they know themselves their products could not stand up in a real free market.
Has the number ever decreased? As in, have they actually paid things off? Without actual numbers, U.S feels increasingly like a high-school bully who borrows money and then threatens with violence when that money is wanted back.
I agree with all of this, I should've said the buyer's value can be significant, in terms of hours spent by the agent. I've had agents that toured dozens of properties with me, around a very large area over several months, and didn't make a cent because I ended up buying in a different county with a different agent. But that isn't so much an example of value-for-money as of a broken market in which agent pay is only tenuously related to job performance.

> Not everyone lives in large cities with whole mass transit systems or works the usual 9-5.

Tell me you’ve never been outside the US before without telling me you’ve never been outside the US before.

Joking aside (there are plenty of other countries with transit as bad as the US), plenty of other countries have figured out how to make public transit and alternative forms of transit (bikes, scooters) widely practical. Many places have optimized themselves for car travel, and if we want any chance of a livable world 100 years from now, we need to start optimizing for a different reality.

Yes, we will never get rid of cars entirely. But we must find a way to get rid of cars for the 95%+ of trips that are part of day to day life (groceries, errands, commuting).

A car-centric lifestyle is incompatible with a livable planet. Deal with it, my kids aren’t ditching for Mars or TRAPPIST-1 or whatever.
