Ownership is registered in the US and part of the sale is a "title search" to check that and then update the registered title when the sale is executed (both handled by an attorney).

The case of title insurance is only where something weirder happens with wills, contracts, or liens. If there was an owner that died in 2016 and his will said "split my house to all surviving children". And at the time one child shows up who believes they are the sole surviving descendant and claims the house and sells it in 2017, then 2018 a second heir finds out their estranged parent died and shows up to say "actually half of this house was mine, that guy didn't legally have the right to sell it even without any fraud occuring".

Title insurance ends up 'fixing' this problem so that the buyer and actual-should-have-been-owner can both be made whole (and they go after the seller for the amount they didn't actually own, but sometimes that won't be possible to recover). If you don't have title insurance you as the buyer just take the liability that you might not actually own the house (or part of the house) if the record was mistaken and needs to be corrected.

In Germany would this just be a case where if the will is executed and you find out too late the inheritor would be screwed with no way to get what you owned instead?
> Linux's /proc is [...] still objectively better than sysctl

Is it though? AFAIK there is no way to get an atomic snapshot of the contents of /proc so any attempt to traverse the tree will be met with "No such file or directory" errors as processes end. You can reproduce this with a simple:

doas find /proc -name pid -exec cat {} \;

Whereas sysctl returns a consistent snapshot of the data requested.

About the only advice I can offer --- walk away from any used car deal that doesn't have a clear title. And insist on seeing the title before you sign anything.

There is a lot of room for error with used cars. "Abandonment title", "Salvage title", "Estate title", etc. are all things I routinely avoid like the plague. It's just not worth the trouble.

Please, I implore you, to read the line you quoted again, and then perhaps pull out the old Oxford English, and look up what "very few" means.

But your example also has great relevance to the "familiar" sentence in my original comment which was:

I italicised the part that I knew people would somehow ignore in my original comment and I've done it again, because obviously once wasn't enough.

Here, let me pull out the important words yet again just to make it really clear:

> for a lot of people
Personally, this just seems to me to model slight inexperience pretty well. But just like junior developers are not useless, I find GPT, copilot, etc. to be a force multiplier. It can generate, in 2 seconds, a 15-line function to do a simple thing which is nearly always either correct or needs one small tweak to satisfy me. This allows me to focus my brain 100% on the interesting parts of the problem domain. To me, it feels exactly like having a bright junior developer at a second keyboard twiddling his thumbs all day, waiting for me to need some trivial grunt work task.

Not the commenter but I’ve heard people make statements like that time and time again, only for those limits to be obliterated a few years later.

The thing is, the moment a new upper bound becomes available, developers find a way to use it. It’s like the freeway problem that adding more roads ironically adds to congestion.

Take storage, the greater the storage capacity of media increased, the larger game assets became. The faster CPUs and system memory became, the heavier our operating systems and desktop software became.

Likewise, the faster our internet becomes, the more dependent we will become on streaming high fidelity content. 4k on a lot of streaming services is compressed to hell and back to work with people on slower internet connections. And much as Google Stadia was shutdown, video game streaming services aren’t a failed experiment. Plus even with more traditional services, how many of us roll our eyes at multi-hour download times for new games?

Once gigabit internet becomes the norm (it’s common place in a lot of countries already, but it’s not quite the norm yet) then you’ll see more and more services upscale to support it, and thus others on the cutting edge of the tech curve finding that gigabit internet isn’t quite fast enough any more. And that will happen sooner than you think.
> We moved, and it's not feasible to run ethernet everywhere in our current home. However, whoever built the home ran coax to nearly every room in the house - it's a bit ridiculous

How old is the house? If its more than 20ish years old running coax everywhere was a great choice. That would be before CAT5e cable so if they had went with ethernet cable instead of coax you'd be looking at 100 Mb/s. If it was built before 1995 you'd be looking at CAT4 and under 20 Mb/s.

I've got an ethernet cable running between the two rooms that are farthest apart in my house, but it is kind of ugly. I just screwed in cup hooks or nailed in nails at an angle on the walls up near the ceiling and draped the cable over them.

The right way would be to run it through the crawlspace or attic. I don't want to crawl around in the crawlspace, and my attic is the kind that if you aren't very careful you can put a foot through the ceiling of the room below, and has a bunch of blown in insulation that would probably make it even harder to get around so I don't want to try that.

I've wondered if I could run cable through the attic without actually going into the attic. Open the top of a wall below and drill up into the attic. Attach the cable to a pole and use that to push it up into the attic several feet, with the end of the cable tied into a loop.

Then send a drone into the attic, fly it to the pole, hook the loop, detach the cable from the pole, and fly the end of the cable over to the attic access hatch.

Then do the same with a cable at the other end. Splice the two ends together.

Is that reasonable feasible or is it just crazy?
It might or might not work. How do you know you get to the right set of arguments and documents that way? If you are not an expert in the field, how do you select who is a "reputable historian", for example? How do you know that you correctly understand the language and terms used in a paper not in an area of your expertise?

I just switched out some CFL for LED. A couple of them I go to switch them out and realized I had already switched them out and they color temp was exactly the same. I am now switching many of mine out for a more yellow dimmer color. The ones I got for free were good for work spaces but not living room/bed room lightning. But those CFL's are troopers only had one stop working in 15 years out of 20 and I still have a box of 20 of them that have never been opened plus the 20 or so LED ones that I got for free too. If anyone is wondering how I ended up with a bunch of free ones check out your power bill. Many times power companies will run a promotion and just ship you a box of them.

Negotiations could easily be worth $40K. It could easily be worth 6%.

Or it may not.

Worse: If I use the agent, I don't know whether the agent gained me 6% of the price in the negotiations. If I don't use the agent, I don't know if I cost myself 6% of the price (or more!) in the negotiations.

Someone could do a study, looking at sale prices of "for sale by owner" versus sale prices of comparable sales through agents, for comparable periods. Even that study is fraught - for us to trust it, it would have to be by non-realtors, but also by people not involved in the "for sale by owner" world in some way. And yet the study would have to get the comparables right - not just right, but clearly right, so that the results of the study will be believed.

Without such a study, we're all kind of just believing what we believe.
One area where this kind of technique would be a game changer, I imagine, is for blind people to have their surroundings narrated in real time. For example, through a pair of glasses with a camera for input, and an earphone to listen to the continuous narration.

I heard about an online service where people can sign up to help the blind by describing visual scenes that they capture on their mobile. There must be companies out there developing a similar service entirely run on machine learning.
Following the pre-eminent scholar of bullshit, Harry Frankfurt, we can attempt a ‘bullshit alignment matrix’ according to the ground truth of a statement, and its intent. - https://www2.csudh.edu/ccauthen/576f12/frankfurt__harry_-_on...

On one axis we have the truth value of a statement, on the other, the intent (sadly no tables on HN)

Good intent

- Factually truthful: 'Roses are red'

- No inherent truth Value: Maybe surreal humor, like 'this statement is humor'

- Factually false: Satire, parody, sarcasm, 'Great HN comment Einstein'

Bullshit: Statements for effect, indifferent to truth value

- True: 'More doctors smoke Camels'; 'My response to the Covid pandemic was amazing!';

- No truth value - ill-formed nonsense, oxymoron, non sequitur or empty puffery: 'Our Founding Fathers under divine guidance created a new beginning for mankind.'; 'Starbucks provides an immersive ultra-premium coffee-forward experience.'; 'Nobody’s bigger or better at the military than I am.'

- False: 'Obama was born in Kenya'; 'We had the biggest inauguration crowd ever.'

Bad intent, to defraud or mislead:

- True: 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky'

- No truth value: 'We’re not going to sit here and listen to you bad-mouth the United States of America!'

- False: 'Clinically proven to boost genes and make your skin visibly younger in just a week'; Gish Gallop

Of course this is mostly bullshit:

- Hard to discern intent when something turns out to be false, was Bush's WMD claim bullshit, or a lie; similarly Obama, 'if you like your insurance, you can keep it'. One man's benign public health simplification about masks or food pyramids is another's nefarious conspiracy.

- Even hard science isn't free of bullshit, Feynman's cargo cult speech notwithstanding, any sufficiently complex science and engineering devolves to some amount of cargo cult bullshit in practice

- Let's not even get started on organized religion, Washington and apple trees and whatnot. Communication takes place on multiple levels, fruit flies like a banana, something can be bullshit on one level and good (or bad) intent on another.

In the words of George Carlin, "Bullshit is the glue that binds us as a nation." Or Napoleon, "History is a set of lies agreed upon."

GPT's ability to bullshit at a human level is a truly monumental achievement.
> Meanwhile it has a hard time creating something it hasn't already seen, or a close variant.

I believe because all other domains of low entropy information exchange (language) are incredibly imprecise, contradictory, and incomplete.

That the universe chose to stick with a set of axioms that are minimal entropy and maximally predictive about the non-existent future means that some approximations are so arbitrarily close to the truth that they become indistinguishable.

Hi, Privacy Badger dev and coauthor of a bunch of EFF posts about MV3. Here are some thoughts.

We wrote the following call to action a couple of years ago in https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/googles-manifest-v3-st...

> Google needs to cancel moving to service workers, restore blocking webRequest, and halt Manifest V2 deprecation until all regressions in functionality are addressed.

To their credit, Google did halt MV2 deprecation. They fixed bugs, filled in functionality gaps (examples: userScripts API, the Offscreen API cludge), and made a number of improvements to DNR, their limited-by-design replacement for the powerful and flexible webRequest API. Google also relaxed their initial, entirely unreasonable service worker lifetime requirements.

So where are we now with service workers and DNR?

The requirement to base extensions on service workers adds complexity and headaches to developers, but because of various policy changes and workarounds, it is no longer the issue it was two years ago. Google put in a lot of effort to make service workers kind of work for extensions. I think the end result is it's now harder to make a browser extension, but service workers are no longer a deal breaker.

However, blocking webRequest is still mostly gone, unavailable outside of a specific proxy authentication use case, and DNR is still not an acceptable replacement.

There are still outstanding functionality gaps such as https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/302, which is interesting in that much of the tracking that privacy extensions are no longer able to properly handle is by Google!

But more importantly, DNR is fundamentally not an adequate replacement for webRequest.

As we wrote in https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/googles-manifest-v3-st...

> [R]emoving blocking webRequest won’t stop abusive extensions, but will harm privacy and security extensions. If Manifest V3 is merely a step on the way towards a more "safe" (i.e., limited) extensions experience, what will Manifest V4 look like? If the answer is fewer, less-powerful APIs in service of “safety”, users will ultimately suffer. The universe of possible extensions will be limited to what Google explicitly chooses to allow, and creative developers will find they lack the tools to innovate. Meanwhile, extensions that defend user privacy and safety against various threats on the Web will be stuck in the past, unable to adapt as the threats evolve.

The gist is that we now all depend on Google to keep evolving the API to keep up with advertisers and trackers. Google is a massive advertising company. Chrome extensions already had one "lost decade", where nothing much happened until the Manifest V3 proposal.

It's just not a good idea to let Google hold the keys to anti-tracking tech.
> Then Chrome won when it was significantly than Firefox in ways lots of people cared about (it was fast and if a tab crashed the whole browser didn’t crash with it).

Firefox shill here. I believe Chrome won because 1) Firefox had long been struggling with RAM consumption and stability 2) Chrome's onboarding was closer to effortless 3) It was relentlessly marketed/placed to saturation.

Chrome had it's own RAM issues but #3 outweighed that. Any lock-in Chrome now has is due to A) #3, B) a better sync process that's integrated with Gmail and C) better corporate deployment (Gmail+Chrome).

I've had my corp customers on Chrome over Firefox by about 4 to 1. I'm not happy about that but I have to prioritize their experience.

However, Firefox has drastically improved in stability (as has Chrome). Chrome is getting less friendly. Where syncing isn't used, I see paths to swap users over the next year or so.

After turning-out IBEW, I spent the remainder of my electrician career specialized in residential pre-sale renovations ("make ready").

Despite peak earning years just pre-CoVid, essentially just updating circuit panel violations and replacing GFCIs [read: well-paid work without much mental strife], I hung up the towel.

Realtors are nice simple people, the masters of soft skills (which I lack) — but ultimately I realized that "when you're the only person that gives a shit, you're gonna have a bad time." For their efforts, I think total sale comp should be 1-3% (both sides), depending upon their accessibility.

>They are incentivized to move houses as fast as they can.

Being told to "not worry about other sub-contractor craftsmanship, especially don't POINT IT OUT TO CLIENTS" — I just couldn't be part of a team that cared so little as to hand over duds for [typically] seven-figure homes/investments. "We carry professional insurance FOR A REASON."
