> More housing doesn't create demand, the city's economy creates demand.

I doubt there is a simple one-way causation, it's a feedback loop.

The economy of a city only grows if more and more people and businesses move in, which means more housing and density which in turn grows the economy and prices even more.

Is there any example of a city where housing was quite expensive and over time housing became cheap merely by building more of it, while still remaining a thriving city?

As far as I can see, once a city is thriving and expensive it only becomes cheap through economic collapse (e.g. Detroit) which isn't the solution anyone wanted.
Would you reeeaaally? If you really wanted a phone like this, you'd just get the tiny USB-C to Jack adapter.

How much of a chance that you'd find some other detail that's not ok if it had a jack?
Spotify lacks when you venture into niche older genres. I was doing a deep dive into ska and rocksteady and the content on Spotify was not at all complete. A quick visit to the successor of what.cd and I’ve got access to more accurately cataloged releases than I could listen to.

There’s no such thing as casual music discovery though with piracy. It’s a bit like visiting the largest record store ever built. You’ve gotta thumb through the albums and talk to the other nerds.
I don't care what google could, in theory, deliver on some time in the future maybe. That's irrelevant. They are demonstrating something that can't be done with the product as they are selling it.
First of all, it's the CEO's job to take direction from the board and implement their vision, not "lead them". Second of all, your argument seems to be that ethics (specifically honestly) sometimes gets in the way of goal. I think everyone knows that, but the reason we choose to behave ethically is in spite of this, not because we are deluding into thinking ethical behavior always maximizes some objective. Thirdly, I would argue that in the long run ethical behavior is the optimal path in leadership or any other endeavor which involves cooperation.

I'm no good anymore, but in the VERY early days of SC2, I was good enough to occasionally get matched up by the ranking system with players like WhiteRa and Idra.

Shocking how much better they were than me. Technically in the same league, but in terms of skill it wasn't even close. The top .1% really are something special in these types of cases. Pretty neat stuff.

>> 1. Always sad for me to know how much popular are wireless chargers, wasting 47% more energy aprox for charging the same as a wired charger.

Sure, but compared to everything else we use, smartphones use almost no energy. The one I'm typing this on has a battery capacity of 12 wh; if you have a resistive electric water heater, standing in a hot shower during the winter for an extra second would offset half of that.
Sure, but current AI bots are just following the human feedback they get. If the feedback is naïve enough to score the factoid about rubber duckys as correct, guess what, that's the kind of thing these AI's will target. You can try to address this by prompting them with requests like "do you think this answer is correct and ethical? Think through this step by step" ('reinforcement learning from AI feedback') but that's very ad hoc and uncertain - ultimately, the humans in the loop call the shots.

It is pretty big in Asia. All you can eat sushi/sashimi is everywhere in Hong Kong, not that expensive, great experience for everyone.

When I moved to UK I realised the difference. I can only eat like maybe 70% compared to an average Westerner so it is always much more expensive for me.
if you're switching 48v, you'd want a mosfet rated for way more than 50v. On a car you'd want 200% headroom at least.
language models do not lie. (this pedantic distinction being important, because language models.)
Interesting, I've never seen that at a conveyor-belt sushi joint before. That's not how they traditionally operate.
>They didn't miss the cloud revolution

Imo they barely kept pace largely by leveraging existing software and repurposing it for cloud. They still seem to be playing catch-up with multiple solutions to the same problem--some deprecated, some preview.

Take for instance Postgres. Azure had Single Server built on Windows containers. They acqui-hired Citus to build out distributed and they released Flexible Postgres as a Linux-based replacement for SS. Flexible still doesn't have feature parity with Single Server and doesn't have feature parity with other cloud vendors (pg_wait_sampling roll-up is missing last time I checked a few months back).

To make matters worse, their data migration tools are sorely lacking as well.
Automotive Ethernet is not 8P8C...that's not how they do it at all

> Does she see herself as more trustworthy? She can't even be bothered to give an excuse for the firing.

I agree that outsiders can't weigh in on this topic without statements from the board.

But as the (former) board member of a private organization, she's not accountable to the public. Making statements about why she fired Altman can carry substantial legal risk.
.... Unless Sam Altman, major research leaders and 50%+ of the employees had transferred to Microsoft
No, in this case, it was a flat rate up front.

Basically 100% a buffet except the table moves to you (which, to the point of the original article, waiting for your preferred sushi to come around probably slows down consumption and improves the economics)

Obviously if people want to buy food and waste it that's on them. But this was a pretty clear abuse of the restaurant's business model as well.
Poorly chosen name for that robot.
Do you have any proof of this? I have played Nintendo games for decades and I have loved a lot of them. I have a hard time believing Nintendo or its employees "hate" their customers.
This is what confuses me though, people don't write things like: What is the most relevant sentence in this book?

I have a vague understanding of the mechanisms here, but I just don't think I get how it goes from "the most relevant sentence" to an attention vector that "points to" the right place, I would have thought this was beyond what they could do by just completing training data.

I also realize that the model has no ability to "introspect" itself, but I don't know what's stopping it from doing a train of thought output to get to it in some way.

Do you think you could get it to reveal the attention vector at some point in time, by e.g., repeatedly asking it for the Nth most relevant word, say, and working backwards?
Lol, really? BI is Axel Springer .. wow. And I always wondered why I felt iffy about their articles. That makes it clear. Into the "ignore this garbage" list they go.
> It does tend to leave the question open of why there's such a large American constituency for "why aren't we more like Europe?".

because even if the US is very rich and ahead, their public infrastructure feels very run down compared to Germany, Austria, and others in Europe.
"Scientists worry that ill-informed use of artificial intelligence is driving a deluge of unreliable or useless research."

Worries about unreliable or useless research existed long before AI.
Show HN: AnyCall – Answer any call with AI
Hey HN,

Chris here. I have been playfully hacking on a few ideas that leverage some of the latest AI tools (both open-source and proprietary). One in particular seems somewhat useful and is ready for a few more eyeballs.

The idea is to make building very capable AI phone agents as easy as creating an online form. We think the ease of production will lead to some interesting enterprise use cases.

I'd love your feedback (order a Pizza from Vito in the demo to see how it performs) and in particular your ideas about potential uses.

Thanks!
T9 was fine for typing and probably hundreds of millions of people used it.
This was a great episode and a good lesson for me. The Zenefits story is very different from the one I thought I knew based on media coverage at the time.
> I am still so confused by this whole saga. No one has explained how or why the entire board decided to do a coup, and then simply changed their minds a few days later.

I don't know how anyone can call the board's action a "coup." Calling it that seems to be a propagandistic abuse of the term.

The board was in charge, and it's not a coup if it fires a subordinate (the CEO). If anything, the coup was getting the board ousted.
Ask HN: Need ethical advice on separation involving illness
My partner recently left me after 12 years, we were never married and have a 10 year old daughter together. She told me the reason was that "this relationship isn't working for me anymore". The problem is that she suffers from schizo-affective disorder and major depression and as a result stopped working 10 years ago. Her state was so bad since she stopped working that she was unable to do any house work, very little help with our kid etc. whilst I had to work relentlessly to grow a small business to pay for everything, whilst at the same time doing the house work and raising our kid. The balance was about 95/5.

Now she is demanding 50% of my business which she obviously has no legal right to since we were never married and which I feel is extremely unfair and even disrespectful. However I feel very conflicted on what to do ethically. Her disorder and consequent behavior cost me immeasurable stress, I supported her throughout her illness in every way I knew possible, sacrificing the growth of my company and my dreams in the process, and then she walked out on me.

Yet I know she obviously didn't bring this illness upon herself and in many ways I feel desperately sorry for her and worry about how she will support herself as the mother of my child. And I need to consider the impact of my decision on my daughter. I feel like I need to consult with some sort of ethical counselor on how to proceed with a financial settlement so I can put this behind me, I only want what is right and fair.

Can anyone recommend where I can look for help or have any advice for me?
They should have looked more carefully, clearly. Especially since they were criticized for the exact same thing in their last launch.
Here are a couple I could find in notes I took while listening to podcasts, though there are more -

“I get like all of the power of running OpenAI”
“I don’t think it’s particularly altruistic. Like it would be if I didn’t already have a bunch of money. The money is gonna pile up faster than I can spend it anyway.”

Those I think are either from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sWH2e5xpdo or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hpuPi7YZX8
> But is publishing a model which can generate images of Mickey a copyright violation?

I don't think that courts have ruled on that specifically (yet), but I seriously doubt that it would be. Taking the image of Mickey and distributing it would certainly be, though.
This is extremely shitty to a lot of users.
That's not how this place works, and clearly it would have been less offensive behavior if it was.
> MS is still evil

All big corporations are "evil", as in, their decisionmaking is scaled and institutionalized enough to effectively implement the goal of "maximizing shareholder value" above what's good for you or society.
I wonder if those economics also apply to software, ie “unlimited data storage” service providers.
Book review: 'The Peer Effect'
This one does/did.
I've got the whole Malazan series sitting in a box ready to read... alas, I'm pretty bushed by the time I have a moment to read and I'm sharing those precious moments before sleep with D&D prep too. I think I'll be saving it for some future date.
No, Tailscale creates both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity over .. well pretty much anything. If there's IPv4 - it will use it, if there's IPv6 - it will use it. If there's some traversable NAT - it will use it. I think we should dig out the old meme about ADSL running over a pair of wet strings.
So either that isn't all-you-can-eat, or I don't understand the definition of all-you-can-eat.
Discussed at the time (of the article):

The games Nintendo didn't want you to play: Tengen - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31061154 - April 2022 (104 comments)
Your point on wireless-charging waste is valid, but I'm not sure a hypothetical initiative to reduce national electricity consumption should prioritize addressing it. The waste is similar to using a 7-watt LED bulb one hour extra per day (16Wh phone battery requires an extra 47% or 7.52 watts to charge wirelessly from 0% to 100% each night).

The concern about wireless inefficiency is very well-placed, however, in the case of electric cars. EVs will become an enormous consumer of electricity in the near future, so small changes now can have a big cumulative effect. "Charge your car as conveniently as your phone" would be an effective marketing tagline, so to that extent I agree that phones set a bad example for needless energy consumption in the name of convenience.

(edit: oops, bunch of other commenters made the same point while I was writing mine)
I almost bought one recently because they are literally the only new phone model that has both of: a headphone jack and no camera cutout. Unfortunately, it seemed like support on google fi was hacky and partial at best (and it wasn't 100% clear you could get it to work at all).

I ended up going with the pixel 4, which was the newest phone I could fine that at least didn't have a camera cutout.

I have since discovered that in android developer options, you can choose to give up the screen real estate around teh cutout to effectively hide it. Given this, in the future, I'll look for phones that have a jack, worrying less about the cutout.

If the Fairphone ever comes to the US with full support, I would strongly consider it, even though I _really_ want a headphone jack. I think that for a fully repairable phone, I might be willing to trade.

It appears like my ideal phone is probably never going to exist again, so I'm going to have to compromise on something.
I'm glad they released this feature. There are databases/services which require you to input the IP address to listen on instead of the network interface. This will greatly simplify configuring those services.
I dont mean to be rude but is there a reason why firefox is not supported ? Is it " it will never work there because the mandatory feature X is missing and will never be implemented in firefox " or "some features are broken " in which case a disclaimer "we dont test in firefox so use at your own peril" would be great :)

That's very interesting, and the first time I've actually heard an explanation of the 1983 crash that makes sense.

It's always described as "the games were so bad that the market crashed" which never was a satisfactory answer to me.

Don't worry, it will only be a matter of time before he retweets a neo-Nazi and you can go back to hating him.

Some people have way too binary a view of other people. In real life there are rarely outright villains or complete saints. Everybody is a mix of greys. You don't have to agree with everything a person does or says to appreciate their work.
If you go to a higher voltage, you will typically use smaller wires.
> Even if they do, you will miss on the upside. MSFT stock is not going to 10X but OpenAI's might.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that due to the existence of leverage. You can make MSFT have the potential to 10x (or ÷10) if you want.
Tailscale is free for 3 users and up to 100 devices, so it's a fine solution vs running your own VM for hole punching. Consider your time value. You can even pay for Mullvad exit node access for devices in your net and configure the coordination layer accordingly.
Yeah, I think arguing the logic behind these responses misses the point, since an LLM doesn't use any kind of logic--it just responds in a pattern that mimics the way people respond. It says "it is made of a material that is less dense than water" because that is a thing that is similar to what the samples in its training corpus have said. It has no way to judge whether it is correct, or even what the concept of "correct" is.

When we're grading the "correctness" of these answers, we're really just judging the average correctness of Google's training data.

Maybe the next step in making LLM's more "correct" is not to give them more training data, but to find a way to remove the bad training data from the set?
The material of the duck is not air. It's not sealed. It would still be a duck in a vacuum and it would still float on a liquid the density of water too.

For an example how trying to build something up artificially in the middle of nowhere can fail, see California City. OTOH, for a counterexample see Las Vegas.

> Or high demand drives housing density and high prices.

Yes, and it also drives even more demand and even higher prices.

The premise of the OP is that you can make housing become cheap in an expensive city by building a lot more of it. If that works, there ought to be a few success story cities where it happened. Which ones are they?
If you know more than others do, that's great, but instead of posting putdowns, please share some of what you know so the rest of us can learn.

The trouble with comments like this is that they degrade discussion put others down without really teaching us anything.

Exactly what I did. Leased a Spark EV for $99 per month for 3 years. Then purchased it after the least $11K. The rate at which the EV market is evolving makes value decrease rapidly. Wait until solid state batteries start getting delivered in vehicles. The 100-350 mile EV is not going to be worth much.
I might be wrong but Microsoft ended stack ranking in 2013.
Seems reminiscent of a video where the lead research department within Google is an animation studio (wish I could remember more about that video)

Doing all these hype videos just for the sake of satisfying shareholders or whatever is just making me loose trust in their research division. I don't think they did anything like this when they released Bert.

If their legal assumption is it's not a copyright violation to train a model on some image, then it's logical that their ToS doesn't mention it, as they need the user's permission only for the scenarios where the law says that they do.
I think part of the problem is there aren’t really any “good guys” in most cases.

With regulatory capture and the revolving door between .com and .gov, those who run the corporations and those who are supposed to respond to the whistle are often hanging out in the same back rooms.

The general response seems to be a slap on the wrist and a hardy “Don’t get caught doing that again!”
