https://ipropertymanagement.com/research/renting-statistics

If your thesis were true, we might expect rent to be roughly stable and similar to inflation over the past few years as they drop in some regions and rise in others.

Instead, national average asking rent has well outpaced inflation.

There are a number of trends which you could point to as possible factors (The rise of AirBnB, large companies buying up properties to rent, etc) but it seems the key issue is a fundamental lack of supply which is driving housing prices upwards, pricing out buyers and increasing the pool of renters.

https://www.realtor.com/research/us-housing-supply-gap-march...

Since the 2005-2008 housing crisis, new household formation has outpaced single family home construction significantly each year. We're near all-time vacancy lows for both buyers and renters.

A free market should eventually seize the opportunity to build to meet that demand (and new home starts are up this year finally) but the housing crisis caused long-term shifts in the industry which will take time to recover, and then supply chain problems during Covid caused massive material cost spikes which further delayed construction.
No feedback on that page; it's just an ad. I use a wired headset. Nothing else work for me.
What is the use case ? :-)
This is bad because if someone forgot to add prod or for whatever reason the code executed beyond the panic, you’ll wipe out the db.

There is no code that will protect your db/data. Only replication to a read-only storage will help in such situations.
Would you use Keras 3.0 for anything?
> Which doesn't at all explain all of the studies that found little to no effect to pervasive masking

Not sure what you're referring to here. Statistically, there will always exist studies that show the null result. That doesn't mean that there's no evidence of effect. There's been lots of repro.

Here's a link you can use to start exploring this topic with links to studies:

https://coronavirus.delaware.gov/covid-19-myth-or-fact/myth-...

I'm sure you can find other studies. But ultimately clearly no amount of information here will change your conclusion that there's no evidence that masks are effective so I don't know what more to say here. Good luck.
As a young consultant, I was once one Enter away from causing a disaster, but something stopped me. I still shudder even though it didn't actually happen. Nothing of the sort in many years since, so a great lesson in retrospect I guess.

Ding ding ding. The reality is it's already here. What the US did in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. What Israel has been doing in Palestine. Why do you think the median age in Palestine 19 years of age? How do you think that affects a population. I don't think I would have responded to well at that age to being behind a fence watching the other side luxuriate in wealth while controlling my movement, access to resources and all the while actively chipping away at my homeland either. Ceasefire isn't enough, these people need resources, access to education, etc...
I thought the EU had regulations on credit card fees? As I understand it, the Amex isn't widely supported because Amex's fee-heavy business model wouldn't be allowed to launch.

Visa's highest tier cards (Visa Infinite cards, such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve), already have higher fees than the Amex Platinum. The difference is, Visa won't let merchants ban single cards (you have to accept ALL Visa cards), while banning Amex meaning you are banning mostly high tier cards and losing nothing on the low end.
This didn’t happen to me but to a friend. She lives in an old home and has a neverending list of projects, many of which she took up during the pandemic. She would often livestream her rehab at nights just to connect to people as she worked.

One night she was streaming the teardown of a bathroom wall. There, in between the walls, was a clipboard with some notes. She slowly took the clipboard up and started reading. Of course we couldn’t see what she was reading, but she started to cry and sniffle.

The clipboard had a list of wiring and installations. Had been written in the 70s. But the front page was a note, she told as she started crying, that said that rehabbing is hard and sometimes lonely work. But to keep at it because one day it’s worth it!

That moment arrived at a particularly lonely part of the pandemic for her and those of us watching. Whoever wrote that note and left that documentation from 50 or so years ago of course had no idea how it would find the reader(s) but could there have been a more perfect, beautiful moment than the moment my friend found it in the wall?
The State of California has no obligation to allow SF to restrict its housing construction. SF exists by the good grace of the CA state government, and its housing policy is downstream of that.
I think the issue is as you get older, you amass more wealth and power but you amass less open mindedness. You become more conservative, set in your ways.this would permeate every process and institution in our lives.
You might have your limitations but that doesn't really go for everyone. Plenty of coders can do survey
research in cardiology better than most cardiologists, just how it goes. Cardiologists know the heart and dealing with patients, survey research they very often don't do so well. You should realize the limitations of experts in their own fields, they are human too, and often very biased since they have to deal with the sociopolitical climate in their fields.
What is Keras 3.0 (not) ideal for? Why not use pyTorch or Flax?
Doesn’t work in Costco. Visa works everywhere.
Tipping on top of normal wages is normal in all of Europe, our closest Western cousins. I come from Eastern Europe, and I always tip (perhaps out of a Western custom, but also becaause I know how s** wages are there, so out of respect for acknowledging their crap wages and their service, even if I know they are paid a regular base wage).

This is not what we're talking about at all. Tipping is not simply a social phenomenon when other people's living circumstances depend on it. It becomes an economic necessity when (as the RTFA mentioned, if you'd read it) it becomes required to make a living wage.
Hi all,

I’m working on a project that offers a new way to deploy AI models and save money on expensive cloud GPU instances.

Currently, there are a few options:

1. Rent a GPU from AWS, GCP, and Azure. It is the most popular but also the most expensive option. Renting A100 will cost about $3-4.5 per hour, which can rack up to $3000 monthly. If your workload can not utilize hardware fully, you can leverage services that charge per second or request instead of per hour, like Replicate. The typical cost is around $5 per hour; however, you'll save a lot of money if your computations need to run sporadically.

2. Work with less-known providers like Lambda, Coreweave, or runpod.io. You can get the same GPU for about $1.1-2.1 per hour. However, it is tough to get one at times.

3. Rent a cheaper GPU like A6000 for about $0.6 or consumer-grade RTX 4090 for approximately $0.4 from vast.ai.

4. Use your PC if you have one. The cost varies greatly depending on the electricity price in your area; we can assume around $0.1 per hour at $0.2 kWH and 500W power consumption. At full load, it will cost you around $70 per month.

The last option is considerably cheaper than the others. However, managing a cluster at home or in the office requires qualifications and effort. Also, existing tools don't target this use case to the best of my knowledge. For example, we need to ensure that multiple workloads are not using the resources simultaneously.

This is the problem that I’m trying to address with FairCompute by providing tools and API for managing your home cluster and workloads.

Here is a demo leveraging my gaming PC at home to serve an AI model - https://huggingface.co/spaces/faircompute/stable-diffusion. The demo is hosted on HuggingFace, but a home PC is used for inference.

I would appreciate your feedback on how to make Fair more useful or your thoughts on how to solve the problem of AI model training and deployment cost. If you want to try Fair - check out the tutorial at https://faircompute.com/docs/docs/getting_started
Congratulations. 102 circuits would have taught this. But some short sighted bean counters merged EE & CE so you didn't get the opportunity. I suggest you ask for a tuition refund as they failed to educate you as they promised.

What are the best ways to build and generate binaries for mobile platforms, let's say Android, by reducing the binary/.so size considerably? Let's say if I need only warpPerspective (and nothing else at all) - what is the easiest way to build for that? Are there docs around it, something step by step guide for people who are not well versed with CV coding or even C coding? Or has there been a smaller need based Android port (or a maven artefact) planned? (I am assuming you are related to the project). And thank you for the awesome work!
Based on the title, I was assuming this was going to be about plea bargains and overbooked courts which more seriously undermine the public's right to due process imo.

This is a complicated issue but there are significant tradeoffs involved here. Intuitively, my assumption is that the effect of this action would be to kneecap regulatory agencies. This is not a legal opinion but jury trials are an enormous burden on the public and I don't think that it's unreasonable to try to avoid jury trials for many enforcement actions. I'm sure those who know the constitution and the law better than me can argue both sides of the issue, but cynically this seems part and parcel with the right wing efforts to dismantle the administrative state. While I have concerns about an overly powerful government, I am more concerned with unrestrained market forces.
Agreed, it's a meme at this point. What a tragedy. Here's that Onion article.

This is a depressing way to blame all the victims here and have no hope of making anything better.

It's like hospital owners openly saying they know nurses won't strike even if they don't get treated fairly because their patients will die and the nurses, as caregivers, won't let that happen.

The apathy toward a system that not just supports that kind of thing but very actively encourages and rewards it is brutal to watch.

> you are born to a family that has lived in a certain land for generations, and then the country that now rules over it does not acknowledge you as a citizen

You are describing how Palestinians treated Jews in Israel. You do realize that Israel is the native land of the Jews for considerably more than a "few generation"? Jews have been native to Israel for more than 3,000 years. What right do Arabs have to come and colonize it?

> and so your new country destroys it without taking sufficient precaution not to hurt civilians.

What more precaution can they take than "leave, there's going to be a war here"? I mean seriously, what else do you want them to do?

> I wonder how the military might have proceeded differently if it was in developed Israeli cities that Hamas were hiding instead.

Easy. The civilians would leave, or Hamas would take them captive. But they would not stay there like some Palestinians are.
Funny that the first several dozen comments I read don’t comment at all on the OP. Dog stories are irresistible ;-)

Let me do that in case anyone cares about the science.

The treatment is a proprietary drug to inhibit IGF1 signaling. If applied early in life (puppy stage) this would reduce growth rates and result in smaller adult body size. Lots of data on life and health extension via trimming back insulin-IGF signaling. But to the best of my knowledge, this should not be particularly effective later in life.

Later in life (1 year old pet mouse, 5 year old dog, 60 year old human) you would want to treat with intermittent rapamycin or other mTOR-C1 complex inhibitors.

This works very well in male and female mice and is now being tested by Matt Kaeberlein and many colleagues in dogs and humans.

There is a vibrant community of biohackers—-mostly rididulously healthy and relative rich and well informed humans older than 40, who are testing rapamycin at a mean dose of about 5 mg once per week. No marked negatives except what you would expect—somewhat less vigorous immune responses. You don’t want to take rapamycin if you are a 60-year-old kindergarten teacher!

See Matt’s site: https://mkaeberlein.com/off-label-rapamycin/
Which, per the article, you can appeal to a real judge.

Are they actually effective? The above is local to just one town, if the next town over doesn't do anything the weed spreads anyway. There are also areas where no one ever goes like parts of national forests. Have any of these efforts done more than delay an invasive? I'm thinking of kudzu and pine beetles. I wonder if pine beetles are creating more CO2 than cars by killing trees. The problems seem complex and not easily solved, so it would seem the appropriate response would be to train more people who can do studies and find answers. Instead it's left up to local communities to form groups and try brute force approaches.

If you use postgres you can put

\set AUTOCOMMIT off

In your .psqlrc and then you can never forget the begin transaction; every statement is already in a transaction, its just the default behaviour to automatically commit the statements for some ungodly reason.

Years ago I hired an experienced Oracle developer and put him to work right away on a SQL Server project. Oracle doesn't autocommit by default, and SQL Server does. You don't want to learn this when you type "rollback;". I took responsibility and we had all the data in an audit table and recovered quickly. I wonder if there are still people who call him "Rollback" though.
> Is this saying xorg server is dead?

That's what the sponsor of Wayland development is saying, yes.

> Is there an official announcement of the death of xorg or something?

No, because after fifteen fucking years of development, it still isn't good enough to work everywhere that xorg does. (Over those years it has also lost many of the much-touted "xorg server developers" that abandoned working on xorg to start on another project that was less awful to work on.

Well... guess what Wayland turned into? XD

xorg works, and -at least for me- most of the things that people seem to say doesn't work on it actually do [0]. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a billion-dollar company to fund development on a piece of software that runs your application software just fine. And this isn't the fucking webdev world, so you don't need a team of twenty just to keep up with unending churn-for-churn's sake.

There are a large number of camps that don't align about this issue.

The King James Only movement alone:

asserts the belief that the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is superior to all other translations of the Bible.

and has been divided into five subgroups with varying opinions about the text and its relation to God.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Only_movement

This barely scratches the surface of the many opinions held about the collections of smaller books that are bound as versions of "The Bible"; which books, which translations, which interpretations, etc.
This isn’t a real controversy, this is a far-right fever dream conjured by the Federalist Society. They’ve dreamed of weakening the administrative state ever since its inception under Roosevelt - that’s all this is. This “Reason” piece is just federalist propaganda, it’s not a serious piece, because this is not a serious topic.

> A Real-Time Text-to-Image Generation Model

> On an A100, SDXL Turbo generates a 512x512 image in 207ms (prompt encoding + a single denoising step + decoding, fp16), where 67ms are accounted for by a single UNet forward evaluation.

Okay... so what part of this is real time? 207ms is 4.8Hz. 67ms is 14.9Hz. Isn't "real time" in graphics considered to be at least 30Hz (33ms)? And by today's standards at minimum 60Hz (16ms) if not 144Hz (7ms)? I'm lost at what part of this is real time? I'm not sure it even would get there with an H100. Maybe an H100 and everything is TensorRT?
Thanks for the write up. Always interesting to read different takes on it.

This is the first time I’ve read that the PowerPeg flag issue was specifically related to Protobuf definition changes. Other reports were vague on how that flag was expressed (I guessed it might have been C++ enum bit field reuse).
I haven't really been following that closely... I think in the US some (a very limited number) of on-set VFX artists have unionised, but in practice those aren't the people doing the majority of the post-production VFX at ILM, DNeg, Framestore, MPC, Weta, etc...

One of the complications is many of the VFX facilities have offices in many different countries, and in the past have been chaising subsidies (Canada was a strong location 10 years ago or so), and different locations have different laws as to what's possible.

i.e. in London, overtime wasn't generally paid (but artists often still had to do it), although I believe DNeg London started paying it more recently (not in India though), and I seem to remember people saying Vancouver didn't generally pay overtime, but Montreal did but I don't know how accurate that is more recently...
That's referenced in this interesting blog post with some Munger quotes from ~10 years ago. For context Munger appears to have been centrally involved with Berkshire's various energy plays and investor-owned utility deals (a major fraction of their portfolio).

I run my own peertube instance like I run my own mastodon instance.

Mastodon is cool, your private instance can just link up to any other instance and get all the data. If you search for something, your instance will proxy the search back to the originating server. The experience is only trivially more annoying than just using one of the big servers.

Peertube is not like that. Notionally it supports all the same features, but when all the details come together, it just doesn't work.

Say you have a private instance and you just want to browse videos. How do you find remote content? You can have your server 'follow' another, duplicating its timeline into yours... If the remote server allows it. As a user, you can simply follow any channel anywhere and it will populate into your server's local timeline.

But what about search? You have to use a third party search index, and it's opt-in. Or you can go to each remote instance you know of and search there directly.

Assuming you have a bunch of content coming into your server somehow, how do you find something to watch? You don't! Most of the filtering and searching is useless. Your individual user subscription feed is the only thing even remotely reliable.

As much as I want to love PeerTube, I really, really hate it. Discoverability is so bad that the whole platform is nearly unusable.

Realistically I'm sure that the best results you can get is just from signing up to the largest instance you can find. Which really defeats the entire point of it being distributed and federated.

It really doesn't matter how many videos exist on the service if no one can find them. PeerTube is going to have to put some serious effort into this problem or they're going to fade into irrelevancy in a few years.

Unity are spending too much money to develop far too little. New engine features are almost universally half baked (DOTS, UI mess). They acquire in demand features from the community just to let them wither (pro builder). The only thing that's consistent between different Unity features is how unpolished they seem.

Notably the mess they have made of DOTS seems to have been partially responsible for sinking Cities Skylines 2.

Just points to a mess at the leadership level. Their failed relicensing debacle shows the poor level of judgement of the C suite.
And I'm simply disagreeing with you. You are way off - if the cost of living is too high for offerings for low-skill/blue-collar work is too low to make a living sustainable enough to affect the "demand curves", that means that something is off and the only enforcement mechanism, if we want to have a functional society that doesn't depend on welfare, is through government intervention. That comes directly from the federal minimum wage.
Don’t know why but I am unable to make sense of anything from that summary.

Will try the original long form content.
"it would be hard to find someone who considers war to be a good thing"

In the general population, yes.

However, Hamas certainly didn't believe so. Extremists of all kinds, the same, even in the US.

Putin didn't either, though, I guess, he must've changed his mind on that one since the whole thing didn't really go according to his plan.

Yevgeny Prigozhin certainly didn't believe war was bad, nor does Erik Prince.

I also have my doubts about the "defense" industry. There are certainly people in the (illegal) arms business who very much believe war is a good thing.
